Like many 'zines, it was spurned by print shops because of its political content (radical left-wing, in this instance), so its publisher had to obtain his own offset press, which he operated himself. A book called "The Samisdat Method" was published by the author of the 'zine, which described the practical aspects of purchase and use of an offset press by authors with no background in the printing trade. The book went through several editions and eventually saw publication and distribution by the book trade. It is now out of print.
