DCLZC ZINE PICKS AND REVIEWS
Theiropen.Page Vol. 2
Assembled stories and poems of queer experience, in turns tender and intimate, hopeful and heartbreaking. This feels like reading other people's diaries, other people's love letters. You can also read this and the first volume online at their website and learn more about J.'s project.

How to resist Amazon and why / Danny Caine
I'm guilty too of getting used to buying cheap, without really understanding what goes on behind the scenes of book publishing (among other industries). This 22-page zine explains why we need to support our local bookstores and in doing so, pay fair compensation to authors, publishers and booksellers. This is what it means to be part of a community. We also have Danny Caine's expanded version in our collection as an ebook if you want to dig deeper.
