New In: Nothing Really Mattress/Speaking Ill of the Dead and Am I a Stick Man? by Stephen James

We're slowly working through a backlog of zines here! There'll be loads to come on the blog in the next couple of weeks, I promise. These two, by Manchester based writer Stephen James, have jumped the queue because we wanted to tell you about a nice event you can go to that he'll be reading/launching his new self published book at.

You can also see Salford Zine Library favourite Zach Roddis there and there's some bands playing too. Best of all, it's free! Pop along, why don't you.

You might also have seen a bit of buzz about there being a Northwest Zinefest in November. There'll be more details announced soon so keep your eyes peeled! Follow @nwzinefest for all the latest news. Also, if you have loads of chairs and tables that you can let us borrow for the day, get in touch.

New in: Time Travels in...

"Jump blues is blues at its most fun, a call to arms not to bewail tribulations or reflect upon the abyss, but to let loose, wail, and party". Time Travels in Jump Blues is a handy pocket sized guide to jump blues!

"Before Rock and Roll, children were children and then went straight to being little adults, wearing the same clothes, doing the same things as their parents. The Rock and Roll movement was the first time that teenagers created their own identity. With their own self-expressive fashion, their own records, and their rock inspired fun loving lifestyle, it was an identity strongly in contrast to that of their parents generation". Another handy pull out mini zine that tells you everything you need to know about Rock and Roll!
