Newsprint has been having a minor revival in small run publishing, such as Alec Soth and Co.'s excellent documentaryish LBM Dispatches. I only have these 3, but I need more.

I also don't really understand the recs for it, there are like 3 concepts in the book, and they can all be explained in a page each iirc.

Why People Photograph by Robert Adams

Buy this loving book.

I got a copy for a dollar at used book sale and I managed to tear through the entire thing in one sitting. I've read and enjoyed excerpts from his essays on ASX in the past, but I never expected for thoughts I've had ruminating in my mind about photography to be defined so well and given such clear voice. I cannot emphasize this enough, if you enjoy or agonize thinking about your photography, buy this book now.

Yeah it's one of my favorite books, everyone please read it.

So, does anyone know anything about printing a photo zine? How one would even go about doing that?

I folded up some paper into a 1/4 sheet zine and laid out my photos and then unfolded it to get my print layout, put that into a pdf and got doublesided color copies which I sliced in half and stapled and then lost money selling them all because making money on zines is not very punx

Just fantastic. There are a few photos that broke the tone at just the right moments and really shocked me with the contrast (in the plates themselves + between them and the super neutral majority of the book).

I like getting secondhand photo books when I can because I feel like I can actually read them since they're just books.

Where do you find second hand photobooks?

eBay, Amazon, bookstores, same as any other books. you aren't as likely to find more esoteric books for low prices but any decently well known photographers books shouldn't be too hard to find.

We should create a Dorkroom zine in all honesty.

Ps yes if you have a zine you should be posting it

Quoting because I fully endorse both of these.

It is done. And now, to leave this thread to the serious book talk.

Posting cause your zine came in the mail today. Haven't had a chance to read it thoroughly yet, but the print quality is great. Really nice colors and mastering (what's the book printing term for levels setting?). Only thing I might recommend for international shipping is a little cardboard or card-stock insert in the envelope if you can find a cost-effective way to do it. No major damage to my copy but it got a bit bent and the envelope was a bit torn, and I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on any part of this gem!
