Reading Wednesday

CW: anorexia, substance dependency

What have you finished reading?

That damn Build book by Tony Fadell. I mean every tech manager/owner and wannabe startup person should read this, it's a smart book that basically says empathy is the way to develop products and run companies. I've just been dragging it out.

What are you currently reading?

While I sell a bunch of zines, I actually collect microzines in particular, so I've been reading some of these recently, but nothing that really stands out other than Kawai Shen's BFF. Shen is the queen of microzines and she's right here in Toronto. She's a real treasure. Anyway BFF is about anorexia and substance abuse maybe? 8 great mini pages. Unfortunately I think I only sold one copy in the last couple fairs. Some of the best zines don't leave the table because the cover doesn't scream about what's inside.

There's a dark blue-ish hardcover staring at me on my night table. I might have to stare right back at it.

I found that the most stressful thing about 'zine fairs. I wish I knew then what I know now about cover design, but I still never can manage the style that flies off the table.
