Have you created a zine? Do you like to read them?
Head up to the 8th floor of the San Diego Central Library and you’ll find a collection of hundreds of handmade, self-published zines!
Some of the zines are very simple–just folded copy paper and staples. Others are so slick you might mistake them for a popular comic book or retail magazine. All are super creative. Every page communicates the author’s unique voice and vision.
If you’ve created a cool zine, you can submit your finished masterpiece to the library. They’ll consider adding it to their collection.
I looked through the bins and found all sorts of amusing, brain-bending, eye-catching covers. You can’t check zines out of the library, but you can check out these few photos!

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or Twitter!
I haven’t authored any zines, but I have written a few online short stories. If you like to read, you might enjoy my website Short Stories by Richard.
What a blast! I used to produce one of these; Kriegsrat (Council of War), the official ‘zine of the National Wargaming Alliance. Some awesome memories here, Dude!

There are a few issues around here somewhere, though I’d be pressed to put my hand on one in less than a month. I thought it was pretty good, although some of the ones in your article put it to shame. Talked about strategy, tactics, and game design for a table-top battle recreation group. That hobby is far back in the wake now, but I had a ball for about 30 years, and like to think I learned a few things as well!
