HSS Reader 6 by Olivia $2.00 / smaller than half size / 36 pages
When I first received Olivia's zine, I begged her to marry me, and to let me carry this in the distro. It had been awhile since I had read a zine with this much wit! Stuffed full of music and literature (book and zine!) reviews, as well as interviews with independent film makers, this zine seems like what a lot of magazines strive to be like, but never quite make it.
