What are zines?
Zines is short for fanzines, self-published books, put out by fans, that have original stories, articles, poems and artwork, much 
of it of very high quality.  Zines have existed since the early 1920's when they were produced by science fiction fans (often 
referred to as "First Fandom").  When Star Trek was cancelled, fans needed more stories, so they wrote them themselves and 
published them in zines.  
Much of the library of Starsky & Hutch fiction is still in zines.  We are currently working to bring most of the out-of-print SH 
stories to the two SH archives.
