the Ken Chronicles #77

 The Ken Chronicles perzine #77 is finished and will be mailed to subscribers & trading partners in mid January, 2026. It's digest-sized (5 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch), with 28 pages including the cover wrap. Available to all for $5 (b&w print copy, postpaid to the USA) or $2 (color PDF version sent to your inbox). Contact: Passscribe@aol.com.

This issue tells of some of the differences in food and shopping we've encountered after moving from NY to North Carolina last year, with recommendations if you visit the area. Also mentioned are more of the items I had to sell or find new homes for in order to downsize my collections. There is also a report on our recent vacation getaways to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Myrtle Beach & Charleston, South Carolina. Some concert, book & film reviews, another look at people, places & things that aren't there anymore, and readers' letters of comment round it out.

Check out a sample page from our Charleston visit:

  The Ken Chronicles #73 was released in late October, 2024, and has 20 pages in b&w plus a cover wrap (the digital PDF version is full color). It's got a brief letters of comment section this time around plus the usual People, Places & Things (that aren't there anymore). It also includes stories about a bakery that's still alive & well after over 50 years, part one of my move from New York to North Carolina, all about Affinity Publisher – an inexpensive but powerful word processing/page layout app, some notes about Pete's Mini Zine Fest this past October, a look at a coast to coast rail trip, and the stuff I recently sold on eBay. The print version is available for $5 (or a similar trade), postpaid to the USA. The PDF version can be sent to your inbox for $2 of a similar trade.
