Ofrenda: A Zine Anthology by Celia C. Perez $15.00 – Collected from twenty years (1994-2014) of zines, Ofrenda is the work of Chicago-based librarian (and longtime Quimby’s consignor!) Celia C. Perez. Cultural identity, loss, book love, and music nostalgia are just a few of places this books goes to. Collected zines include issues of I Dreamed I Was Assertive, Roots and Wings, Hickey Underworld, Sherman Sez (a Sherman Alexie fanzine), and many others.
