These zines are delightful. I picked them up at Alt Press Fest 2013 from local tabler Sam Milianta. Filled with black & white photography these zines are deceptively simple. They can be found in the Zine Collection at the Main Library.
You can find Sam Milianta’s Work here.
But don’t take my word for it! Check some out today (that’s right! The Alternative Press Collection does circulate & you can come on down to The City Library’s Main location ( 210 E 400 S SLC, UT) head on up to Level 2 where said stuff is housed… BOOM! for REAL…

For most of us Alt Press Fest 2012 is now buried in the past, however every once in a while something comes back to remind us. In fact it reminds me of this song.
Anyway, Heather House wrote up this delightful blog entry about her experience back in July. Check it out here.
Thanks so much. We are very happy that you had such a great time.
And feel free to relive Alt Press Fest 2012 by visiting our Alt Press Fest tag.

A BIG THANK YOU TO NADYA BRATT & ANDREW SHAW for all of their hard work on Alt Press Fest 2012!
Saturday July 7, 2012 was the day to be done w/making everyone included & all wanting one a copy of the first Alt Press Fest Zine anthology of collaborative content.
It got done, but not before 8 o’clock that eventing!
Here are a few sampling photos, but rest assured that there will be a tangible one for, in time. Each “cover” is a re-used file folder from The City Library. The title is spray paint stenciled and bull clipped onto the contents of saddle-stich-stapled paper. These photos, beginning w/the cat are credited to: Evan Jed Mammot (left) Nick & Erin Potter (right), Jess Smart Smiley (left) Travis Gray (right) Yours Truly (left) Salt Lake City Film Festival (right.)
Without boring you about the trials & tribulations faced throughout the process; please accept a sincere statement of gratitude to all involved because you’re willing to try, i.e. FAIL. Really wish I was simply sitting at table with the personal work I prepared & got to see you. Shucks… If you’d like to view some of it—> patrick weeks.tumblr.com
So, here we go again with completing a project that has been a labor of love + lessons for transcendence in the independent publishing arenas!
Thank you~Patrick Weeks
Carry on!
