%Title: AMERICAN WINDOW CLEANER: Voice of the Professional Window
Cleaner
%Descr: Issue 42 Oct. '93
One of the brightest, most readable "trade" magazine I've
seen. Totally oriented to the trade but you open it up and
are immediately drawn in. Window Cleaner slang, squeegee
care, window cleaner of the month, product reviews, ads,
letters, just like a *real* zine.
You thought just yuppies loved to engage in buisness networking.
Well this is the special networking for window cleaners issue.
They printed a list of association and other trade publications,
the window cleaning franchise Brite-Way, how to bid on jobs, tips
on direct marketing, types of customers, and cleaning glass at
new construction sites.

%Title: CALIFORNIA EMPLOYER ADVISOR: The practical guide to employment
law &
%Descr: employee relations
Most of my friends are currently working at temps because
they've been screwed over so many times by permanent
employment. I for one was illegally fired three times (and
went to court for one of the cases). How many out there have
been denigned unemployment insurance, worker's comp, or
other benifits because of greedy bosses?
Yes, you too can now learn how to become a greedy bastard. For
just $167 you'll get a full year of valuable tips on how to
protect yourself as you sexually harrass your employess until
they're forced to quit.

%Title: FUGITIVE POPE Issue 15 Summer '93
%Descr: News for bored librarians or news from bored librarians or
just plain funny library news. Raleigh's gotta spend more
time reading zines, looking up dirty words on the CD ROMs,
and finding strange 19th century etchings then he does
shelving books. But that's fine by me, he produces a great
zine.
This one feature six pages of "stupid patron tricks," funny
stories from librarians about their more ignorant customers, that
Raleigh downloaded from the net.

%Title: GENII: The International Conjurors' Magazine Volume 56 Issue
11
%Descr: Sept. '93
Who's doing what in the magic world (including dying, the
ultimate disapearing act), how to do a variety of tricks,
convention reports, and a bunch of regular columnists.
The ads are by far the best part here. You can get a "thumper," a
silent two-person communication device for mentalists; rub-on
patters for making a 3 1/2 of clubs; and a lightbulb penetration
illusion. Don't forget the interviews with John Carney and Rene
Lavand.

tips for the devoted student of the instument. Major
harmonica personalities too.
The styles of Steve Baker, tips on accompanying singers, and a
report from the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of
the Harmonica convention.
There's also all kinds of technical things that I just don't
understand, keeping time, using intervals, high range diatonics,
chord shapes, modal scales, and using a blues slide.

%Title: LEFT BUSINESS OBSERVER Issue 60 Sept. '93
%Descr: The landmark publication for progressive thinking
economists. A wonderful guide mixing current news and
financial analysis with a strong left perspective. Just the
thing for me, a budding entrepenure printing an underground
magazine.
Leave it to the *LBO* to give us the straight dirt on NAFTA, the
truth behind South African economics, updates on international
poverty statistics, and women's economic status during
recessions.
I read this one cover to cover.

This one-shot pamphlet starts off with ideas about mall culture

%Title: SHORT CIRCUIT: The Newsletter of Engineering Empowerment Late
Summer
%Descr: '93
The premiere zine for electrical engineers. Well it's about
time. A little bit dry but they do question the morals and
ethics of the profession.
Joseph Franceschi wrote about the nature of problem solving,
William Livingston talked about the real world of product
development, Rudulf Starkerman explained psychosociomathics
(which is an application of system theory to social systems), and
"Zorro" contributed a very funny piece listing 22 ways to insure
software product disasters.
Somewhat technical so I wouldn't recomend it to people to far
removed from the profession. Many of the people involved also
wrote engineering books that are available.

More astute and valid commentary on a variety of crucial topics.
There's a personal report on the abuses in temp work, growing up

Personally, I find this more readable then the religiously
marxist newsletters.

I bet S.E. Mills never sleeps. Yendie Boox puts out all

with useful tips for aspiring cartoonists, indside profiles
of how cartoonists work, and gossip about the comic
industry.
Marty Jones wrote a prifile of the Texas cartoonist Sam
*(Eyebeam)* Hunt, S.E. Mills talked with Tom Riggs about
animating at home, the phenominal success of *Cherry Pop Tart*,

%Title: VISCOSITY BREAKDOWN: Brain Solvent for your Pre-programmed Life
Issue
%Descr: 1 Nov. '93
An angry, situationist-inspired zine critiquing our entire
employment structure. Many reprints but from all the
important underground radical publications. Many Quotes,
rants, and journal excerpts.
It's an impressive first issue with a layout that's as
interesting as the content. Better uses for an office memo (like
make compost), 10 signs that you are an employee, the enslavement
of an economic system, a critique of welfare, and the evils of
private cars.
I liked the zine reviews with a 10-point system that rates the
zine's philosophical commitment.
