Finished Making Stuff and Doing Things (4th edition, I believe). I heard a lot of very nice things about it on tumblr, so I suppose I had high expectations.

And honestly......... it's not that great? Initially, I was very into it, and I love the concept - the book is basically a collection of DIY projects/advice gathered from various punk zines. The editor chose not to polish anything, which isn't a bad idea in my opinion, but sometimes the choice hurt the book. Case in point: some projects are accompanied by illustrations, however, these are absolutely useless because they are just huge black stains with hints of an unhelpful arrow now and then.

I don't have any issues with that myself, but I probably wouldn't suggest it to anyone who has any trouble reading, because some of those fonts are just very hard on the eyes, too small, etc.

So like...... awesome idea, but the execution is hit and miss. It might be nice to put together a version of this for the modern era. (I call dibs on fiber crafts!)

Mail Bag: FOREVER AND EVERYTHING #2 by Kyle Bravo

Kyle Bravo / Hot Iron Press

This is a nice collection of “partially true stories” by Kyle. Fun, somewhat stream-of-consciousness autobio stories about family life, travel, making art and the world at large. Nicely printed and with a two-color Risograph cover.

Forever and Everything #2 at the Mini-Comic and Fanzine Database.
