More MWP publications at PLAYING IN THE ATTIC

The diminutive but delightful Playing in the Attic is one of our favourite stores in Ballarat. Helmed by the equally delightful Trudy MacLauchlan, it specialises in products primarily sourced from local makers, including a plethora of Moth Woman Press publications: postcards, zines and our small fairytale anthology, There was once...  
Playing in the Attic is also the sole stockist of our recently published book, Fallen Women. (For individual page views, go HERE).

Also in stock as of this week are the four remaining copies of our zine, A Short Book About Long Hair. Signed and limited to an edition of 60, this was the very first zine published by Moth Woman Press, and we're still rather proud of it. The zine is held in the permanent collections of the State Library of Victoria and the National Library of Australia.

On the comeback trail: A Short Book about Long Hair

In praise of the much-maligned femme fatale: the centrefold from the first zine I ever made, A Short Book about Long Hair (2009) featuring a selection of my paintings coupled with literary quotes. This one is from the endlessly quotable Raymond Chandler. A small second (and final) edition will be part of the 2016 Festival of the Photocopier zine fair at Melbourne Town Hall on Sunday, 12 - 5 pm. (Click on image to enlarge).
