I´ve been invited to Frankfurt - to participate at a panel/party/discussion called “Medienmittwoch“. And it was really great - i´ve met the guys behind the TV-magazine concept “Programm” - a magazine about television and culture - still looking for a publishers and Patricia Gebhart from “Ramp” - a magazine about “car culture”. Like for our first show in Hamburg i brought some magazines from our growing GuteSeiten-archive - and the people there enjoyed them so much that they even stole magazines. The most favorite stolen mags are: Turbochainsaw #4, Umlaut #5, Otaku Play and Gudberg #6. Just for the next time, dear GuteSeiten-Lounge-lovers, you can also order them here without risk - or rent them at our Zinothek. But i really had a fun time in Frankfurt and hope to see you all again soon - our next lounge will come for sure.

Hi people, we really could need some help! If you’re a fanzine lover or fanzine publisher, a magazine whore, media journalist or paper fetishist and if you like our little project - please write us a mail! It don’t matters where you live – if you can write english (just a little bit, like us), are deep into paper maga/zines – then you’re our wo/men! It would be wonderful if you can help us to keep this blog alive and post regularly news from your country – we cannot really pay you something, but you’ll get you an amazing profile like this and we’ll feed you with some new zines, of course. Ok, guys and girls, hope to hear from you! Greetings from Hamburg, *Alain

We are just crazy about magazines and fanzines - and we want to share our passion with you. The pabulum of the mainstream media industry is driving us crazy. Where is the spirit, the passion or at least some innovation? That’s the reason why we founded our own kiosk - a curated kiosk and magazine club for inspiring, creative and fascinating magazines and fanzines from all over the world. We believe that the only innovative and revolutionary spirit in new magazines is coming from the underground. Made by people with passion, and not by bureaucrats, analysts and all the other media whores. And there are still reams of amazing magazines out there. But you won’t find them at your local newspaper kiosk. Perhaps you’re lucky and have a well equipped bookstore near you. But mostly you have no chance to find these magazines. The aim of GuteSeiten is to promote, distribute, award, exhibit and finance these magazines.

Have a look at all the MAGAZINES, that we collected for you from all over the world. And if you like them, you can also order them immediately (free global shipping & handling for an order +40 Euro). But if you don’t want to buy them: just rent and read them! Subscribe to our ZINOTHEK and get new magazines and “classics” that are out of stock every month - delivered directly to your door! And there is even an “All you can read”-flatrate (but unfortunately currently only available in Germany).

And if you’re also a publisher: Participate in our annual AWARD - and contribute your magazine to our fast growing archive. Or get connected with other publishers, editorial designers, photographers, editors and zine lovers at our MEMBER section - because together we’re stronger!

Or just enjoy and get inspired by the creative force of independent media. Please let us know what you think, if something is missing and how we can improve. And by the way: Big props to our friends from the design studio gebrauchsgrafikundso who supported us from the first minute, designed and programmed this great website and helped to realize GuteSeiten. We almost worked one year on this project - and we really hope you like it!
