Barkeep on the Borderlands is in its 2nd printing! It is now perfect bound with a spine and has much more consistent colors in the interior. To celebrate, the next ~50 orders of Barkeep or the Barkeep Bundle will also come with a random autographed “print proof” page

I think overall this piece is unfocused, but the point about the shifting relationship between the critic and audiences during the transition from blogs to social media is a good one. Also zines are a uniquely good medium to express criticism.
