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
