The new Zine World (#28!) just came out.  Way in the back in the free classifieds we have a tiny little ad that says:

Crabby Media is currently seeking to distro zines about any aspect of zines and zine-making — papermaking or bookbinding instructions, zine histories, how-to guides for promoting your zine or working with stores/distros, etc etc! Please get in touch with us at crabbymedia.org

We are especially looking to bulk up the zine-making resources we carry in the shop.  Do you make a zine along those lines, or know someone who does??  Please drop me a note — chris @ crabbymedia.org — or leave a comment in the forum.

Thanks!

“Entry Level: Approaches to getting used to the idea of talking about class,” edited by Chris Wrdnrd, was born out of Crabby Media’s desire to engage with issues of social justice and Chris’s hope to provoke more Wiscon discussions of class.

This comp zine is composed of 11 pieces that investigate aspects of class ideas from various angles.  Contents include a brief overview of Marxist theory, a bibliography of class-related reading, and a bingo card of typical dismissals of class discussion, all punctuated by deeply personal essays of individual class situations.  We are also delighted that John Scalzi allowed us to reprint his oft-cited “Being Poor” post from the Whatever.  The zine is rounded out by an abridged version of Karl Marx’s “Wage, Labor, and Capital.”

A free PDF will be available for download here by the end of january 2010.
