CINEMA SEWER VOLUME ONE, TWO & THREE


Screengrab of the CINEMA SEWER website


These books were a "blind buy" for me. I had never heard of Canadian artist / writer Robin Bougie, or his zine CINEMA SEWER.

I found out about his publication, after purchasing SWEDISH SENSATIONSFILMS by Daniel Ekeroth ( ISBN 978-0979616365 ). The book has two photos of Mr. Ekeroth wearing a CINEMA SEWER t-shirt. So I "googled" CINEMA SEWER and found his official website.

These books are a mixture of previously published and new material from his CINEMA SEWER zine.

All three volumes contain, art, photos, movie advertisements, articles, and even interviews.

FYI: The articles come in all sizes ( mulit-page, one page, three-quarter page, etc ).

I did NOT like everything I saw and read. However, I did enjoy the majority of the content. So, I'm going to focus on the positive.

I'm happy I took a chance on these books.
