Description

“Running At the Edge of the World, is a compulsive, engaging page turning account of how they helped to shape and define a scene with their little zine that could, Suspect Device.” Tim Cundle – Mass Movement

The behind-the-scenes story of one of the U.K.’s longest running, and best loved punk fanzines. From the typewriter set, cut and paste layouts, to the illicit night-time, photocopying, up to today’s comparatively slick output. The book is filled with stories right from the very beginning of the community they helped build and support, and still do. It’s about the changes and challenges Tony and Gaz had to overcome, and the lifelong friendships created in the process. This book is about the Suspect Device fanzine, but it’s also about the punks who came together to create the scene based on the principles of DIY, friendship and co-operation. You’ll love it, and it may even inspire you. As the foreword from Pete Zonked says, “Get off your ass and do something.”
