Reddit mentions of Books by Hand Bone Folder

The thing I love about zines is the infinite ways in which they can be made.

I draw mine digitally (used to use ink, switched to digital a few years ago), print them at home in black and white, on 8.5x11 (somtimes 5.5x4.25) with a duplexing Brother printer, staple them with a booklet stapler, crease them with a bone folder, then distribute them in various ways.

I used to run a zine subscription where I sent out a new, original zine each month to people who subscribed for ~$40. I also table at zine fests across the country. And I donate zines to any/all local zine libraries I can find.

I have illustration zines, lettering zines, and poetry zines, and I have noticed that poetry zines (aka "chapbooks") usually sell way less. I think it's because (in the U.S. at least) poetry is just undervalued in general (unfortunately).
