heres the first review, from Quimbys Bookstore:
As a social phenomenon, “punk parenting” seems to be gaining ground and is beating the hell out of “hippie parenting.” See, dad? I told you my generation was better! This is perhaps the most insightful, engaging, and well-rounded “punk parent” zine I have yet seen. --AB
