{"product_id":"9781911052111","title":"We Peaked at Paper : An Oral History of British Zines by Hamish Ironside","description":"Increasingly, as we come to terms with what a cesspit theinternet really is, there has been a revival of interest in various artefactsonce thought obsolete: vinyl records, analogue photography . and zines. Withsome zines from the punk era now selling for hundreds of pounds on eBay, andthe study of zines a burgeoning field of academic interest, We Peaked at Paperappears at a propitious time.   The book consists of twenty interviews with current andformer editors of zines. Authors Hogg and Ironside travelled across Britain tocarry out the interviews face to face over a period of five years. They soughtto examine the widest possible range of publications, from the science fictionzines of the 1930s to a zine begun by a ten-year-old editor during the Covidpandemic.   This is a volume that celebrates amateurism, and will becherished by those who favour the local over the global, the home-made over themass-produced, and Melody Dog over Taylor Swift. After achieving a cult following on its hardback publication in 2022, it is now available in paperback for the first time. In the words of Peter Doherty: `A great read - it had mereaching for my Stanley knife and glue!'\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309198553461,"sku":"9781911052111","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911052111.jpg?v=1762810825","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781911052111","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
