God save the zine.

God save the zine.

Zines

Zine Name $1.00 - A template for you to make your own zine, computer free! Often what trips people up are figuring out the page numbers. So we got it all figured out for you. Plus, ideas for writing! Make a zine with the help of this, and then come consign it here at Quimby’s. When you bring your zine back to us, we’ll guide you through the consignment process. And maybe, if we get enough zines made with help from this thingy, ya’ll will get special shelf space!

Brainscan #24 and 25 by Alex Wrekk $5.00 – Open this thick handprinted envelope and a conucopia of Brainscan tumbles out: baby-sized Brainscan #24, monstertruck-sized Brainscan #25 and also a little Epilogue zine to help sweeten the deal. This zine pack is a real heart-on-the-sleeve labor-of-love and I would recommend it to anyone interested in things that are awesome.

In the Same Vein: Characters Overheard in Conversation by Ricardo Cozzolino $3.00

Jennifer Love Hewitt Times Infinity by Kevin Fanning $3.00 – Coming to us just in time for the Oscar Season, this zine seems to be part of a new generation of fan-fiction slithering into Quimby’s lately, a breed that has one eyeball reading People Magazine while the other one is tackling the footnotes of Infinite Jest. Here, Fanning casts “the other J-Lo” in his new creative writing series. It’s a serious part, but Hewitt’s presence adds wit and lightness to the stories, probably because of a grand combination of Fanning’s skill with prose and Hewitt’s cache of celebrity je ne sais quoi.

Lucha Loco: Free Wrestlers of Mexico by Venville Malcolm (Universe) $24.95 – I should liken this impressive and beautiful photo book of Mexican wrestlers to the that book Fruits about outrageous Japanese street clothes. Both books have the relevatory effect that not only have all the good ideas for fashions been taken, they’ve also been realized to their fullest. Back to the lab.

Nazi Knife #6 $27.00 – What would possess you to call your fashion-forward art book “Nazi Knife”? Being French is really no excuse.

DVD

Celestial Navigations Short Films of Al Jarnow by various (Numero Group) $30.00 – Wow! Understated might be a good word for the amazing experimental animated films of Al Jarnow. His work brought everyday objects to life in unexpected ways and is probably best recognized in his memorable interludes for Sesame Street and 3-2-1 Contact. Combining a whole bevy of animation techniques, these films are smart and poignant- you’re as likely to learn about counting to 9 as you are about the waxing and waning of civilization. Numero Group continues their tradition of excellence with this attractively packaged look through Jarnow’s ouvre and includes a book and documentary focused on his storyboarding and technique. *DVD includes 45 of Jarnow’s films and a 30 minute documentary and comes with a 60-page perfect bound booklet.
