Product Description

Increasingly, as we come to terms with what a cesspit theinternet really is, there has been a revival of interest in various artefactsonce thought obsolete: vinyl records, analogue photography … and zines.Withsome zines from the punk era now selling for hundreds of pounds on eBay, andthe study of zines a burgeoning field of academic interest, We Peaked at Paperappears at a propitious time. The book consists of twenty interviews with current andformer editors of zines.Authors Hogg and Ironside travelled across Britain tocarry out the interviews face to face over a period of five years.They soughtto examine the widest possible range of publications, from the science fictionzines of the 1930s to a zine begun by a ten-year-old editor during the Covidpandemic. This is a volume that celebrates amateurism, and will becherished by those who favour the local over the global, the home-made over themass-produced, and Melody Dog over Taylor Swift.After achieving a cult following on its hardback publication in 2022, it is now available in paperback for the first time.In the words of Peter Doherty: ‘A great read – it had mereaching for my Stanley knife and glue!’
