Punkzines: British Fanzine Culture from the Punk Scene 1976-1983

Super inspirational for anyone involved in fanzine publishing now, or ever read/collected fanzines. By tracing the development of the fanzine movement, the story of British punk is also told. Many, many covers that I hadn't seen before, and lots of anecdotes and insights from people in the heart of zine production. I was especially fascinated at how many copies some of the zines were selling in the day, when they truly were an alternative source of news and information, before the weekly music papers stepped in as a more current and timely source for news.

Fantastic look back at all the fanzines that accompanied the Punk movement. Great write ups by founders/fans etc,a really great read. Highly recommend this. And the Modzines one too,very similar,but covering the Mod scene,from 60s originals to the Mod revival. Another highly recommended!!

THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR PEOPLE WHO REMEMBER the original Punkzines and also for younger punks who want to know about the original Punk culture and history

Great Book On Punk Fanzied

If you like zines, also you should have this book! Really good one!

A look at the punk fanzines of the late 70s like Sniffin' Glue and Ripped and Torn, as well as some of the less well-known ones. Includes interviews with key players and lots of great covers and other artwork. It included a lot of stuff I hadn't seen before and I think if you are interested in artwork from this era you will enjoy this book.

パンク関連の洋書でも、かなりマニアックな内容です。SNIFFIN' GLUEやPunk Magazine、RIPPED & TORNあたりなら多少日本でも当時紹介されていたので、知っているヒトもいるかと思うけど、JAMMINGが載っていたのは驚き。現地でも入手できず、海外にウォントリストを出しても全く反応がなかった１冊。最近、内容のうっすい洋書が星の数ほど出てる中、久々に興奮しましたね。
