LCRW was a Hugo finalist in 2007: yay! LCRW is a zine that: has a few reviews here comes out twice a year tried and failed to make a third issue appear has experimented with a color cover and perfect binding and may at some point return to it has had fiction, poetry, and nonfiction reprinted in The Zine Yearbook and The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror is, at 68 pages, too thick for this saddle-stitched (i.e. stapled) format comes with chocolate (we wish more magazines would come with chocolate) is black and white and well read, misread, and unread all over loves cafes and sometimes disappears for days is printed in 10 point Bodoni, a surprisingly good early type choice for its combination of space-saving aspects and high readability would benefit from a proofreader surprises us is loved and no doubt hated with equal fervor but for the most part is unknown keeps coming out, even after all these long years since 1996. [Wait, that isn't so long, geologically. It's only long in politics, movie ticket prices, and software terms.] sells ad space, which is a pretty funny concept somewhat wackily has published a story by at least one New York Times bestseller will no doubt produce a book sometime stops us working on books sometimes would love to be in more shops has queried distros and found that a zine/lit journal thingy thing is not high on their list of wants. [Huh.] always keeps busy, even while waiting, waiting. www lcrw.net Previously LCRW No.19 An issue that wrestles with itself. Or, has wrestlers on the cover. Still coming from zinedom with a b&w cover, fiction, even prosetry. Or at least poetry. And long maudlin reflections on the state of publishing, magazines, writing, hummus, and everything else related to putting out a zine for 10 Years. 10! How silly! But what fun. LCRW No.18, 6/06 A June Issue. Table of Contents at last complete. Still waiting for ads for the Toyota Hybrid (otherwise we are back to a b&w cover, oh well). No. Really. We mean it. Toyota, you wouldn't do that to us, would you? We wouldn't shift the blame (or the choice) for a b&w cover over to you... LCRW No.17, 11/05 This was the New Issue. Dropped into the streets from our solar-powered glider fleet. Now being flown out to you at your private estate by our private fleet of jets. Jets, baby, jets. We gave up on the rockets years ago and the zeppelins are all down south for winter. Never perfect bound! We are still and ever full of lies. But, hey, this is three issues in one year! Wow. Better not make it a habit. 17 things this zine is doing. LCRW No.16, 6/05 Available. A powerful, powerful experience. Potent, even. More calumny and lies: no perfect binding. No color (unless it's hand-colored...). Excuses? We've got a few. None of them good. Ah well. Doesn't affect the interior, only the perceptions. LCRW No.15 Also: Foolishness. Cafe Press now allows adding the same image to tons of products at once. So, we did. The front page doesn't look like the image is there but if you click on the 'product' you'll see Steve Lieber's lovely drawing in Pantone something or other on natural stock. Aunt Gwenda's advice column. Mea Culpa: This issue was meant to be perfect bound but due to the chief headbanger banging his head a little too much over new year, it ended up saddle stitched. Next time: perfect bound. No.14 - Columns: L.Timmel Duchamp and Ms. Gwenda Bond. No. 13 - An advice column: Dear, Dear Auntie and a nonfiction piece: Home and Security No. 12 -- A few zine reviews. No. 11 -- Zine reviews. Read "The Rapid Advance of Sorrow" by Theodora Goss and "Lady Faraway" by Minsoo Kang at Fantastic Metropolis. No. 10 -- Zine reviews No.9 -- Zine reviews, mostly No.8 -- Zine reviews, alphabetical, one music review No.7 -- Prisons No.6 -- what? Nothing online? And sold out. Pa. No.5 -- Read: "A Mad Tea Party" - Chris Barzak; "Other Agents" by Richard Butner.

Thank you. "One of the hottest zines in the business" --Angle Mag "tiny but celebrated" -- The Washington Post "tiny, but cerebrated" -- Hugh Jeedjit "Old as Methuselah in small-press years, LCRW shows no signs of hardening of the arteries." -- Asimovs zine: small magazine DIY: Do It Yourself Site updates Subscribe to the Small Beer Press announcement list from yahoo groups Good golly Miss Molly, what's that shaking the floor? We're selling ad space. We did an event outside the tinted pages (Quimby's, June 1, 2004). More maybe of this kind of thing to come, if we get it together. ("We think it's so groovy now, that people are starting to get it together.") Places you can run into us: Have a look at Kelly Link's calendar and join us monthly at KGB. (Notes toward a proper SBP calendar.) LCRW should be in these shops (or you can use Paypal): Atomic Books, Baltimore, MD The Book Cellar, Chicago, IL Borderlands Bookshop, San Francisco, CA Broadside Books, Northampton, MA Downtown News & Books, Asheville, NC Elliott Bay, Seattle, WA Dreamhaven, Minneapolis, MN Pandemonium, Cambridge, MA Powell's, Portland, OR Prairie Lights, Iowa City, IA Quimby's, Chicago, IL A Room of One's Own, Madison, WI Sqecial Media, Lexington, KY St. Mark's Bookshop, NY, NY Mark V. Ziesing, Bookseller, CA and also (sometimes) distributed by Last Gasp. Distribution suggestions welcome. LCRW slips between the cracks -- it's (relatively) cheap, it's b&w, it's an odd size, it only comes out twice a year -- so it's not a good fit for most distributors. We send it out to stores and subscribers (for both wacky groups we are grateful!). Letters to the usual address. You want t-shirts, mouse-pads, aprons(?), &c? Try some of these: LCRW, Stranger Things Happen, The Mount, & Report to the Men's Club.   Other things we are storing that you might like: Good fiction once came easily to the world in the form of Crank! Contributors include Carol Emshwiller, Ursula K. Le Guin, Jonathan Lethem, Eliot Fintushel, Michael Kandel, and (shouldn't that be enough?) more. Crank! Say... Alchemy Trunk Stories
