There was a distinct difference between the two versions of Factsheet
5. I remember first hearing about, then seeing, the Gunderloy version
with its tiny print and underground feel and look. ("Factsheet 5?
What's Factsheet 5?" Even the name was compelling.) It had a sense of
mystery about it, of real samizdat; that something culturally under the
surface was really happening. There was a trade-off in taking it
mainstream-- seeing slick copies on the shelves of monopoly chains took
off most of the edge.
That said, Seth Friedman was a nice guy who put a lot into putting F5
and zinedom on the map.
