ALWAYS CRASHING ISSUE FIVE

is available to order via Bookshop, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and local bookstores everywhere (we particularly like Pilsen Community Books in Chicago and White Whale Books in Pittsburgh).

Issue Five contains bestiaries, marshes, translations from English to English, rat kings, simple machines, less simple machines, machines of medium to semi-medium complexity, and a selection of missing photographs.
