The
Small Press Review is a no-nonsense tool
for independent press junkies and writers in search of small
publications. More of a crib sheet than a fancy artistic endeavor,
the bimonthly newsprint magazine gets down to the business of
shedding light on small presses, books, and magazines with short,
lightning-quick reviews. In addition to dishing out the skinny on
everything from the biography of avant-garde 'polyartist' Brion
Gysin, to RubberStampMadness magazine, the Small
Press Review's November-December issue highlights recent
magazine and press start-ups by featuring their contact and
submission info. And lest you think you are done with this fine
tool as you close it, gracing the back cover you'll find a list of
publishers that will supply a free copy of their work, should
intrepid seekers get a hankering for a sample of something new. --

It's the time of the year that every
High
Times subscriber must wait for with bated breath: The
annual Cannabis Cup issue. Taking place every year in Amsterdam,
the Cannabis Cup brings together contestants from across the globe
to find out who has grown the best bud. This year's top prize was
taken home by the grower of 'Ultra Haze #1.' Also in this issue,
alongside the usual full-page photo spreads of marijuana plants and
half-naked 'Ganja Gals Gone Wild,' is an article by Paul Armentano
of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws that
reminds readers of the $1 billion a year US taxpayers shell out to
keep pot smokers behind bars. -- Bennett Gordon
