Opuntia

Hey this is a really good thing to get if you are interested in the history of self-publishing, amateur journalism and sci-fi fandom zines. A long article by Ken Faig Jr. provides excellent perspective and there is an extensive list of readings at the end of it. Also included is info about publishing a zine and some of the terms used by zine people (more in fandom circles than in general, I suspect). Finally, you get a photo-copy of Bric-A-Brac, a Montreal zine from 1885. All very interesting stuff.
