Manics fans we need your help!
Next year is 40 years of the Manics, so we're making a very special edition of the zine.
In order to make it, we'd like to get as many manics fans involved as we can, as our idea for the zine is not only a celebration of the band we love so much but also the fandom.

…and biggest thanks of all must go to James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire of the Manics for being so generous with their time and energy - firstly with hours of interviews to make the book happen, and then tirelessly helping to spread the word.
