User Reviews for See Hear

I couldn't find this place last time I was in New York as I COULDN'T REMEMBER ITS NAME! I looked in the back of "Maximum Rock N Roll" and found GG Allins brothers phone #. I called him and he told me the name and where it was! This place doesn't have as much hand printed zines or hand printed comics as I had wished for but they do have ALOT of specialty magazines that I have never seen anywhere else. However, any one interested in small press or literary oddities should definitely go and check this store out. This place is up the with Quimbys and Reading Frenzy for sure and is one of the little treasures in New York City.
Pros: Awesome small press selection
Cons: Not enough hand printed stuff

Personally, I have a hard time perceiving the Village Voice as the alternative press nowadays. If I'm looking for voices outside the mainstream, See Hear is the preferred place to go. The closest you'll get to the mainstream here is the stoner mag "High Times" or the RE/Search books like "Modern Pagans." Aside from Reading Frenzy, a great 'zine store in Portland, Oregon, I don't think See Hear has much competition in terms of providing shelf-space for rebellious ideologies. Lovers of materialism ("Beer Frame"), punk rock ("Jersey Beat") and contemporary goth lit ("Apocalypse Playground") may papercut themselves with enthusiasm.
