Cindy Crabb’s The Encyclopedia of Doris gathers a decade of her influential zine into one generously illustrated trade paperback, delivering frank autobiography, grassroots feminism, and hard-won life lessons that have made Doris a cult favorite among zine collectors and true-story devotees alike.
Inside, Crabb chronicles everything from small-town Ohio memories to touring with punk bands, blending vulnerability and humor in short, punchy essays that feel like letters from a wise friend. The hand-drawn art and marginalia add intimacy, making this 2011 edition both a memoir and a how-to manual for creative resistance.
This used copy is in good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, a tight spine, and no smoke or storage odors—ready for the next reader’s shelf or backpack. Perfect for young adults and adults discovering feminist autobiographies or expanding their zine library.
