Rather than repeating myself to every icon, I'm just going to point out to you two watchers that a book != a zine, and that anyone who has paid the price of a hardcover pro book for a fanzine and gotten something that is full of OOC characters, typos, and grammatical mistakes is not obligated to enshrine the whole thing and might as well extract the only portions of entertainment that are worth their money. Someday ask me about the zine in which - after I bought it - I discovered an editorial saying that "true fans" didn't "nitpick" about such things.

The two full bookcases of original zines in their original bindings are fairly adequate evidence that I didn't gut 'em all. (You're local. You're welcome to come inspect the evidence. :))

And in the meantime, I strongly support the local library, Bookcrossing, and have not only donated hundreds of books to The Book Thing charity, but convinced individuals and charities to donate several carloads of books.
