wider distribution was not a goal for this zine and neither was profit or digital distribution. it's a fan pub, not a real magazine or book.
I wanted a copy that I could save along with other printed books in my collection and to share with other fans. the demand has been right around 40-50 copies for each issue I print (pretty standard for most zines, and even self published comics like Eastman and Laird's pre-TMNT Gobbledygook books).
