I'm so glad I picked this up. The Minus Times has published a slew of great writers, and this collected edition of all thirty issues to date. The format of the book is interesting--it is printed on 8.5 X 11 paper and features very pristine copies of Kennedy's original issues composed on a manual typewriter. It feels as if you're reading the real thing. All of the slight offsets of the text and typos are left in tact. The Minus Times is a portal to the past and present of the underground literary...more
The Minus Times started as a wicked insane broadsheet in 1992 and moved to become a full-on magazine packed with stories, interviews, collage and ephemera.

Going through this book is like being caught in a weird, not always pleasing time-warp. I found out about so many books through Bill Verner's column, and I still...more
Awesome article on this title by Amelia Gray in The Nov/Dec 2012 issue of Poets & Writers Magazine. Can't wait to track a copy of this book down and read it this winter, while hibernating!
So very glad I picked up this wicked awesome collection! All 30 issues in one big book with excellent typesetting, writing, and illustrations. This is now my favorite coffee table book that I will recommend to everyone who asks me about it! It totally brought me back to the 90's but in a very good and humor...more
