Customer Review: good stuff, though slightly sharp.
Generally a great system, generous amounts of seed included, works well, and has already paid for itself, now that I’m not buying sprouts. I did, however cut my hand on the edge of the lid-no worse than a bad papercut, but still, there’s a slightly sharp little ridge of plastic where they took it out of the mold.

Since the 1990s thousands of individuals have embraced the zine revolution and DIY music-making. Amy Spencer champions the unsung heroes and heroines of the lo-fi scene.
A first comprehensive study of lo-fi culture and DIY production of records, CDs, zines within the alternative scene-including interviews with leading musicians, writers and promoters. The book focuses on the lo-fi movements of the UK and US, and across the globe, introducing the various communities who adopted the DIY ethic, the 1950s beat movement, Riot Grrrl, Queercore and Social Activism.
Amy Spencer is a former zine-writer and record-label founder, current member of promotions collective ‘The Bakery’ and a key player in the establishment of Ladyfest, the UK’s fastest-growing women’s arts festival.

Customer Review: Good for historical info, but not for analysis
This book read really quickly, and was full of neat information that I never knew before, but I can’t help wishing it had been better written and edited. I caught several (as in way, way too many) grammatical errors and typos. On top of that, the style was close to awful, with strange sentence construction that distracted from the point of the work. Like I said, the information was neat, but the analysis was bare bones, and mostly made huge assumptions in the reader’s familiarity with the subject matter. I very much enjoyed learning all the historical details I never knew before, like that sci-fi fans wrote the first real zines in the 1930s. But when it came to the more modern stuff, the eras I know more about, there was little in the way of new or exciting information. Thought-provoking analysis would have made up for this, but it just wasn’t there. I got this book on a recommendation from one of the feminist magazines I read, and I’m not terribly upset to have it in my collection. It’ll make a good source to cite for clear historical info. Other than that, it’s pretty lackluster.
Customer Review: Lots of facts, but little cohesion
This book is a wonderful collection of facts, giving you a wave of information about DIY music and publishing (although she mainly sticks to ‘zines, not self-published books or anthologies) The style of writing is pretty dreadful, and it made for slow going, and there was little cohesion between areas. Rather than have a thesis, the book concludes just about every chapter with comments like “And that’s part of DIY culture.” or “DIY culture is really important” If you’re looking for basic information on DIY music and publishing, and don’t mind the lack of a coherent flow, it’s a great book. However, if you’re looking for insight on the world of DIY, you won’t find it here.
