Summary

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 its 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 …

What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘A remarkable survey of this country’s zine culture . . The range of voices is rich, supplying a metatext of language and generational shift. This is a book to be dived into, flicked through, and digested in chunks.’ — Don Abbott, Art New Zealand


‘Perfectly punk!’ — Ania Glowacz, Audioculture


‘Music zines, anarcho-feminist zines, fanzines (and anti-fanzines), punk-hardcore-anarchist zines, perzines, bread-pun zines, prompt zines and even phobia zines: they’re all covered in Zines NZ: Punk to Present … There are great tales and compelling insights throughout the book.’ — Anne Kerslake Hendricks, NZ Booklovers


‘A handsome record of a long-discounted side to New Zealand culture, one with intense regional differences, illicit flavours and crazy passions.’ — Jenny Nicholls, Waiheke Weekender


‘The numerous photos and illustrations turn the book into a potted political history and an account of protest, too.’ — Mark Broatch, NZ Listener


‘Packed with hundreds of images of covers and spreads, which charm with their collaged energy.’ — Abode magazine


‘A photocopied fantasia’ — Gavin Bertram, South magazine
