Zine News Round-Up: 07.04.13



picture by Liz Prince - thanks!


Seems to be a very quiet one this fortnight… or maybe we just haven’t been able to find enough zine news?  Keep sending us your news (or news that you’ve heard of that you think we’d like to hear about)! It’s just me running the blog at the moment so there’s only so much of the internet I can read! Spillthezinesuk @ gmail.com.
