An indispensable sampling of the vast assortment of publications which exist as an adjunct to the mainstream press, or which promote themes and ideas that may be defined as pop culture, alternative, underground or subversive.

Updated and revised from the pages of Headpress journal, this is an enlightened and entertaining guide to the counter culture by way of its books and zines, with contact information accompanying each review so that readers may find out more.
"The best goddam reviews section on the face of the planet”
Prism
"What Mr Kerekes did, pace Amok and RE/Search and Loompanics, was to assert, essentially, that 'alternative' had nothing to do with the money invested in it. In letting the underground know that subject matter and not the publishing house defined the matter, David made it perfectly acceptable for the independent press to take a look at coffee table books, Hollywood movies and mainstream artists... Let this be an introduction to a world beyond that which you have imagined in your fevered little brain." Brutarian Quarterly
