Author Description

Revised and expanded from the 2008 edition, which was originally published to accompany the Queer Zine exhibition at Printed Matter's 2008 NY Art Book Fair. The exhibition and original book "focused on self-published, serial publications with a 'queer spirit,' where the hand of the artist/maker was clearly visible in the final product." The new edition consists of two volumes, issued in printed cardboard slipcase. The first volume is "a reprint of the original, but with mistakes corrected, and [a] preface added..." The second volume "includes three types of content: an appendix to the first volume, listing some additional titles from the period ending in 2008...; a section of new titles that have appeared since publication of the first edition; and a section of short essays by individuals involved in queer zines in various ways, from artists and publishers to a librarian at MoMA."
