'''R. Seth Friedman''' (born in Great Neck, NY) is best known as the final publisher of the [[review zine]] [[Factsheet Five]] and the editor of the book [[The Factsheet Five Zine Reader]] (published by Three Rivers Press in June of 1997). In the introduction to the [[The Factsheet Five Zine Reader]] Friedman recalls discovering music zines in the late 1970s and getting hooked. His uber-fandom of zines peaked when he restarted the failed [[Factsheet Five]] in 1991 with capital derived from working as a computer consultant in New York.

In 1997 Friedman talked about reviving Factsheet Five in an [[alt.zines]] post. He said, "How do you think I got this 'job' in the first place? I applied for it? I saw an ad in the paper? I had friends in high places? I used my parent's connections? I did Factsheet Five because Mike and Hudson gave it up. Factsheet Five was dead! I revived it because I thought it was too important to die. I revived it because no one else was doing it."

Black Friday Edit-a-Thon


Getting a database error when you search for an article? There is a problem on the back end, if an article doesn't exist, you are getting an error instead of the prompt to start a new article. We are working on it! In the meantime, it seems the only way to start a new article is by creating a link to a new article title on an existing page (like your own user discussion page) and then following that link and editing it.

Please consider joining dozens of zinesters this Friday to edit and update Zine Wiki!
