We have received some big donations from some very kind people recently. We don't really have time to write a blog post about every single one of the zines that we get in these bundles, but we thought it'd be nice to feature them in a quicker way!
Here's some of the zines that we received a couple of weeks ago. Mainly music stuff from the 90s. They'll all be on the shelves within the week, so if there's any that take your fancy, come down to Nexus and have a look!
Thanks Michelle for sending these in!

Call for submissions: The Glastonbury Project
We have been asked to share a call for submissions for the Glastonbury Project. If you are looking for submissions for your zine, we're happy to post something on here and on our Twitter account, so get in touch in the usual way!
"The Glastonbury Project will be a collaborative zine (a self-published book/magazine), distributed free at this year’s festival. The aim is to create a collection of artwork inspired by the festival that doesn’t usually get seen by those who attend, as well as creating something that can be taken away and remembered.
The zine will be curated, produced, distributed and funded by myself (Katherine Mitchell). With access to printing and book making facilities in Leeds, I aim to make the zine as cheaply but as beautifully as possible!
All work featured in the zine will be credited with a link to your website. The deadline is May 25th.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions: theglastonburyproject@gmail.com
Please spread the word!"
