New in: Animated Review Issue #01

"This is the inaugural issue of the Animated Review ‘zine. Created to compliment our blog of inspirational animation, the publication highlights some of the great creative talents we have had the pleasure of featuring online.

We asked a selection of artists to reinterpret, in the own style, their favourite childhood cartoon character. The enthusiastic response we received helped highlight the importance of these shows, and the fondness with which they are remembered. Maybe some of the illustrations contained within these pages will rekindle some nostalgic memories of your own..."

New in: David Shit: Poems 2012 - 2013

A selection of poems from 2012 - 2013 about desire and its place within the constant flow of life and death, not only as experienced by us day to day but also seen with the forensic eye of a scientist or the long view of a historian.

David is an unpublished writer from Sydney and mainly writes poetry and short articles. He is interested in the physical world, and how the story of science tells us this, forms and influences our emotional worlds.

New in: Red All Over The Land - A Liverpool Fanzine: Issue 188

A couple of weeks ago we Tweeted asking specifically for more football fanzine submissions, which the excellent football website Stand Against Modern Football helped us with. Here's what we said!

We want your football zines! Thanks to @standamf for putting our call out on their website: http://t.co/7xFspWIa3e
— Salford Zine Library (@SalfordZineLib) August 1, 2013

We were really pleased, then, when 'Red All Over The Land' dropped on our doormat. Keep your football, rugby league (and any other subject for that matter) zines coming!

Red All Over The Land is a Liverpool FC fanzine that's been going for over fifteen years, if my research is correct. The 188th issue - a pre-season special - includes articles previewing the forthcoming season, pre-season friendly match reports and opinion pieces.

Subscriptions for the fanzine are available online and copies are available to buy from around Anfield and away matches before kick off.

New in: White Pigeon Issue One - In The Forest

"White pigeon is a black and white photography zine which documents the travels and experiences of a budding artist and photographer. The overall idea is to give the viewer a glimpse into the artist's love for exploring and the outdoors, and hopefully inspire them to get out and see the world and be creative on the way. 

Each issue has a different theme/setting and every publication is made solely by the artist; all the photography and art is his own. Ever imperfection adds character, reflecting the title: if it was perfect, 'Dove' would have been more fitting!"

Underground Press Research Help

Can you help Joe with his research? Get in touch with him if you can! Sadly we don't have any of these in the collection at the moment (although we would gratefully receive donations, as ever!)

Request for Help with Research

I’m a research student at the University of Salford looking for help with a project on the Greater Manchester underground press in the sixties and seventies. If anybody has any issues of Grass Eye, Mole Express, Free Press, or RAP (the Rochdale Alternative Paper) – or another paper you think I may have missed – I would love to hear from you. If you were involved with the underground press yourself, or knew anyone that was, please get in touch also. The underground press has been largely neglected by historians and what little work there is tends to concentrate on papers based in London. I’m hoping to redress the balance with a study of the scene in Manchester, Salford, and nearby areas.

Please drop me an email at j.a.darlington@edu.salford.ac.uk if you think you could help me out. Any assistance is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Under new management!

Hello,

I am very excited to be able to announce that myself (Steve Carlton) and Elizabeth Murray Jones are going to be taking over the running of Salford Zine Library. I am an actual qualified librarian and we both make zines under the name 'Young Explorer', so we reckon that we're well placed to continue Craig's excellent work and make the library an inspiring place to visit for as many people as possible.

We have loads of things we want to do but we're also keen to get the whole community involved. If you have any ideas or suggestions for improving the library, please get in touch. We're currently drawing up plans for exciting new stuff, so watch this space! In the mean time, if you have any zines that you would like to submit to the library, please note the change of address. There's no selection criteria - we accept anything as long as it is self published.

Many thanks,

Steve and Liz

Carl Gunhouse

Carl Gunhouse was born in 1976 in Boston, Massachusetts, but he spent his formative years in suburban New Jersey. Growing up, he developed a love/hate relationship with suburbia that led to the angst familiar to most suburban youth. With this unrest came the discovery of the anger and DIY ethics of hardcore punk rock. Yearning to be part of the hardcore scene, he started photographing bands, which began his love of photography.

Made in Arnhem

The Office of Mark Simmonds Newsletter started in Arnhem in March 2011. Each newsletter contains a single article which is typed directly onto an A4 sheet using an AEG Olympia Traveller De Luxe typewriter at the office. The original is then photocopied, folded and posted via snail mail to national and international subscribers. If away from the office, for example abroad, the newsletter is handwritten. Initially a fortnightly bulletin, as of January 2012 it is posted monthly. In July 2012, the then total of 25 newsletters were compiled for the first time to commemorate the office's imminent relocation from Arnhem to a then unknown destination.
