How to Buy a Zine?

Like many people I have read and seriously loved 'Harlequin Airs' by Ellis Ward, and the gorgeous Susan Lovett illustrations. I bought a copy of 'Dumbo' on impulse just because it reminded me of the circus setting, that's how much I enjoyed it! *g*

I would love to own a hard copy of the original Zine with the illustrations, but the problem is, I've never bought a Zine, I have no idea how to (or how much it would reasonably cost) and what sites are reliable (I've seen commentary before about certain existing sites being out of action, except I cannot now remember which were mentioned). Can you even get this story anymore or is it really hard to find due to popularity?

Advice very much appreciated *g*

Oh, good. It's definitely a zine any Pros lover should own. It's beautiful, well worth the price for the art alone. There are so few really beautifully illustrated zines done any longer so it's a treat to own something like this.

Absolutely agree with you! And I may try and connect with you before MediaWest regarding hunting zines. *g*

Sure. If I can find something you've been looking for, I'm happy to see if I can get it for you.
