Zines NZZines NZ

Lo-fi, hand-built and produced in small editions by devoted zinesters, zines are an ever-evolving and enduring publishing phenomenon. This lively book tells the Aotearoa zine story, from our first punk-rock music zine in 1980 to the plethora of contemporary zinefests of the early twenty-first century. Zines NZ: From punk to present is written by a zine devotee and is packed with hundreds of images of zine covers and spreads, most of which charm with lopsided collaged energy and all of which possess a singular vision. Zines are so often ephemeral and elusive, and this book's tribute to so many rich and distinctive voices ensures that their history is not lost.
