My first zine is here. It’s a good first effort.
Haven’t worked out how best to distribute (sell?) it yet.
If you want it, I’ll send you one.

Typewritten note: I've just finished making my first zine. Tomorrow I will print and fold it so you can see it properly. I can't wait. This medium is so ideal for me I don't know why I've waited so long to start making zines.
