Flip, Flip — Bookish Resumes / Movie Resumes Vol.2

Would you tell us about your story with books and movies?

A feature of this second volume is that many contributors are involved in book-related activities or work in the book industry! Also, readers who purchased the first volume at events are joining in, and it's miraculous that there are no overlapping selections among the works.

Contents of the ZINE:
When I was little I loved looking at my friends' bookshelves. They were filled with the things that person liked, and I could catch a glimpse of what they were into. It was fun to discover works I wouldn't have found on my own and to share them.

As an adult, you don't often get to look at other people's bookshelves, and your choices of works tend to become narrower. Driven by the impulse that if we could learn about works from other perspectives we might encounter many different works, I decided to preserve that idea in the form of a participatory ZINE.

There are people who always tell me about books and films I haven't heard of, whether on Instagram or in real life. Wanting to know which works influenced those people's lives, I invited participants to contribute — this is the second participatory ZINE.

A sheet is included for readers to write what their own response would have been, so please try filling it out after you finish reading.
