Doug Holland ZINE WORLD #10:
"Walk into virtually any corporate owned bookstore in America, and you won't find anything on any shelf that wasn't designed, mass-produced, ordered, delivered, and stocked for the primary purpose of making a profit. At Barnes & Noble or Borders, the printed word is a commodity, no different from perfume at Macy's or suppositories at Rite-Aid - it's merely merchandise, bought from suppliers, marked up, and sold to consumers. Literature that doesn't sell well will be promptly replaced, just like any other product sold by any other retailer.

At their best, zines are the opposite of that. From the birth of an idea until the copies are stapled and sealed into envelopes, it's not about how much money the zine can put into somebody's pocket. It's about how much of the writer/artist's soul he or she can squeeze onto the page."
