San Francisco Zine Publishers Resource Guide
|
|
|
|
This is a document produced under the auspices of the San Francisco
|
|
Zine Publishers Collective. All the information was compiled from
|
|
various individuals. It's a group effort and reflects a multitude of
|
|
experiences. Its intended audience are the small press publishers in
|
|
the San Francisco/Bay Area. Please take the information with a grain of
|
|
salt. Many listing contain contradictory information because different
|
|
people have had different experiences dealing with the various
|
|
institutions.
|
|
|
|
You are cordially invited to relate any additional information you
|
|
think should be included on this list. Anonymously given information
|
|
will not be used but anonymity is assured once the information is
|
|
compiled.
|
|
|
|
If you feel the information on this list is unfair and inaccurate,
|
|
please contact me and I'll see if I can straighten things out. This
|
|
information is correlated for the zine publisher, so it's written from
|
|
that point of view.
|
|
|
|
People outside the Bay Area may find the information just as
|
|
valuable as those in the area. Feel free to send me any information
|
|
that is important to the National zine community.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to reproduce this document at will. No guarantees are
|
|
given and sharerights are granted. Please don't try to make any money
|
|
off my work. If you find that this valuable, great. If you can make a
|
|
few bucks off it, please cut me in.
|
|
|
|
This document costs me lots of time and money. Please be kind and
|
|
generous. All additions, corrections, comments, complaints, death
|
|
threats, donations, money, postage, zines, tapes, books, and food
|
|
recipes should be directed to:

|
Queer, Porn, Music, Tatoos,
|
|
Rachel Pepper, (415) 431-0891 60/40 consignment.
|
|
Mostly queer but open to other strong minded works. Heavy traffic and
|
|
pays fast. Most don't have payment problems but many people with high
|
|
volume sometimes do. Poetry and lit zines doesn't sell well especially
|
|
if not high in queer content. Other stores in NY & LA have their own
|
|
managers and buyers, who prefer to deal directly with publisher.

Not much traffic but a good outlet for more political things. Needs a
|
|
sample copy for consideration at collective meeting. Will then take if
|
|
no one objects. Payment after 15th of the month, only in person, no
|
|
checks. Many people shop here for small-press stuff and nowhere else.

Mostly comics. Only seem to carry macho white-boy sex, not very pro-
|
|
queer. Berkeley branch has more traffic and only place in Berkeley to

Is very enthusiastic but is sometimes short on cash. Always best to
|
|
talk with Bob. Will take just about anything on consignment. Best if
|

you're have small press run. Some people have been "ripped off" by Bob,
|
|
especially high volume publishers. Always asks you to come back and
|
|
only pays in cash for those copies already sold.

Very enthusiastic about zines but not that much shelf space. Punky
|
|
xerox looking stuff is OK. Strong emphasis on music but also very
|
|
interested in anarchy/leftist stuff. Sometimes pays upfront. Has zine
|
|
library. Good idea to donate a copy of your zine to their library.

John McNally (415) 285-8394
|
|
Almost a graveyard with too many chapbooks. Poetry, poetry, and more
|
|
poetry. Not many sales but a good place to find some out of print
|
|
material. A good place to shop but not so good to sell. They say they
|
|
pay their accounts a couple of times a year - but don't count on it.
|
|
Being current helps. Takes about 5 copies at a time. Very few copies
|
|
tend to get sold. Best to deal with them in person. Not very hip.

back to you.

Good reduction / enlargement, only 6 each. Buckingham Way self-serve
|
|
machines jam all the time. Lousy self-service machines; their good
|
|
machines are not self service. Market Street location is great for
|
|
reduce/enlarge because they don't charge extra. No matter where Seth
|
|
goes, whether it be New York or San Francisco, there's a Kinkos copy
|
|
shop and they always fuck up Seth's printing job. Bindery services
|
|
available. Color available. Both open 24 hours - we recommend having
|
|
your job run by the graveyard shift people. 6 per copy page single
|
|
sheet, 1/2 off after 1st 100. Macs $12.00 per hour, no minimum, per
|
|
minute charge. 50 per laser print.

Great prices on xeroxing, probably cheapest in town. Self-service 4 a
|
|
page. Full serve; 2+ single, 4+ for a double sided page. Very good
|
|
service but not the best machines in town. Good for short runs. No
|
|
folder machine available. Paul is very helpful, get there before 10:00
|
|
for best service. Check out their prices on envelopes, staplers, rubber

Drawbacks are that the software and equipment are not state of the art.

Net necessarily a problem if all you need is a 286 with a laser printer
|
|
but they're lacking the latest version of some software and a LaserJet
|
