While many zines are collections of rants and collage art that form a tapestry of insight into the creator, this zine has the specific goal of “helping… to understand and appreciate urban wildlife.” Most of this zine reads like a nature guide focused on the animals you would see in the city – crows this issue, rats and pigeons in previous ones, as well as articles on animals that live in zoos besides the ones in cages, and animals that live in parks. This reminds me of channel surfing and landing on the Discovery channel, you might not be thinking about how you want to learn about Crows, but as soon as you start taking it in, you find yourself fascinated. In this case, not just because of the subject, but also because of the witty, high quality writing. Good layout and decently reproduced photos make this zine about the subject, not a quest to figure it out. –Rich Mackin (Jef Taylor, 140A Harvard Ave Suite 308, Allston, MA02134)
