What I Did On My Summer Vacation
by Christoph Meyer
Christoph Meyer of Twenty Eight Pages does a book! And like his zine, it's filled with loving, time consuming touches. The story is his family's journey on Amtrak across the US - from Cleveland to Portland for the Zine Symposium. The writing is extremely funny, sweet, thoughtful - just like you'd expect from this lover of zines. The book itself is packed with little hand done trimmings like train shaped hole punches, a real photograph, stamps, highlighting, stickers. Books are hand numbered with a paper ribbon sealed with wax. If Christoph charged his actual labor this book would probably be about $150!

In typical obsessive/impressive fashion [Christoph Meyer] didn't write a book then just let that be that. No, not Christoph--each of the 2016 copies are handmade, meaning he cut and pasted the layout for each page, had it offset printed, then stamped, glued in, highlighted, embossed, silkscreened on, and otherwise gussied up many, many pages of his book, repeating the process 2016 times. Holy Mackerel!
