Gavin Hogg & Hamish Ironside - We Peaked at Paper: An Oral History of British Zines

Gavin Hogg &  Hamish Ironside - We Peaked at Paper: An Oral History of British Zines - in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.boatwhistle.com/we-peaked-at-paper The book consists of 21 in-depth interviews with editors of zines. Hogg and Ironside travelled across Britain to carry out interviews, seeking to examine the widest possible range of publications: from the science fiction zines of the 1930s right up to the present day, in the form of a thriving Bristolian zine begun by a ten-year-old editor during the COVID pandemic. Case studies include legendary zines such as Sniffin’ Glue and Ablaze!, as well as lesser-known zines about football, feminism and charity shops.
