Somehow just now discovered that we have a copy of Factsheet 5's Zine Publishers' Resource Guide (1996)! The distribution section shows the wild range of options during the late 90s: zine distros, stores like Quimby's & Reading Frenzy, small mag distributors like Desert Moon Periodicals...& Ingram 🙃
