Ex-library (the now-defunct Junto Local 91 Radical Library of Winnipeg) with only a stamp to the inside of the front cover, and minor bumping to bottom corner, otherwise Fine. From the publisher: This issue contains things that will make you laugh, smile, and cry - visiting friends in the hospital, the early morning, the story of the zine's title, picking up your friends shifts at work, Shelley's annual trips to India, and organizing drag shows. But the real gem of this issue is the story of teaching 9 to 15-year-olds how to fix bikes. It transcends the obvious and covers all kinds of education - homophobia, identity, feminism, and to question what we mean when we say 'community'.

Samuel Green, made many visits to Scotland, and in this volume set down descriptions and opinions of what he saw and enjoyed, providing the Victorian tourist with a perceptive guide to the country — and not neglecting to offer sound advice to the intending sightseer.
