Saddle-stitched.

I'm uncertain how many artists are involved in the centerspread (apart from Ken Steacy).

This is essentially a 1975-76 guide to current fan publications (comic zines, underground comix and various fanzine categories) put together by Fred Burkhardt / 20th Century Anonymous (Meateaters).

Apart from many pages of fan publication listings there's also an article by Clay Geerdes ("Freelancing: An Essay"), a cover and huge two-color centerspread by Jim Siergey and other comix and art.

Roughly 7½ × 11¼" which unfolds to 11¼ × 15".

Covers and centerspread printed in two colors.

There may be more contributors than listed above.
