The Helpers' Quality Fanzine Review

The QFER is a monumental reference and your best companion while studying the Crystal Rose catalog of zines! There's a wealth of information there - author, artist, editor, rating, season, story synopsis and more. Originally conceived by Nan Dibble, the Qfer was once published on paper. Later, Jackie N. and JoAnn B. enhanced the available information and made it available online. The custodians of the Qfer have allowed the library to incorporate their work into the catalog of zines, and the QFER Update Team – JoAnn and Aliset – has added new and even more detailed descriptions to many of the individual zine pages.

What Does a Zine Library Look Like?

I get questions! We converted a walk-in closet to the library, with sturdy shelves, floor to ceiling, on two walls. Amazingly, it was just the right size with a wee bit of room left over for expansion. We'll need to put in another rack of shelves soon, and that's a very good thing.

Here's a peek inside ~
