Um, also McSweeneys is distributed by Publishers Group West. That's because they are an independent press distributor.

Despite the fact that two of the staff members do have a connection to zines, one as art director for Punk Planet and one contributed writing to McSweeneys, this publisher doesn't publish zines, it publishes books. And I any entry reads like a sorporate publicity sheet, this one does. There are more and more entries like this one appearing on Zine Wiki, entries that sound more like job resumes for corporate clients than anything relating to zines. I'm nominating this for deletion. It's a slippery slope and soon every publisher and art director will begin posting their resume on Zine Wiki in order to boost their on-line visibility.InvisibleFriend 17:35, 5 September 2007 (EDT)
