I had a first edition copy of this when it was first published. It was fine for what it was, when it was, but looking back now, I can't see the book for much of anything else than a prime example of fucked-up "edgelordism" of the 1990s. Definitely not worth 50 bucks, let alone $133.

I'd be inclined to agree but going by some of the prices of recent sold listings on eBay (thanks to a few "influencers" in noise/edgy social media making it desirable), this is now as good a price as any. Last time I checked, there was a high quality scan on the Internet Archive for those who want to try before they buy. A collected Fuck compendium would be nice though...

[Skin Flick]

Collected Fuck would be good. However Randall seems to have done a complete 180 on everything and would much rather collect Funko pops and go to "goth" conventions.

From what I recall of "Fuck" magazine (at one time in the 90s I think I randomly ended up with most of the issues) and Randall Phillip, it seemed to be mostly a crude, stream of consciousness spew of transgressiveness from a borderline mentally retarded, self-hating jew incel. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with any of that, and along with the likes of "Answer Me!" and Mike Diana, Fuck definitely was at the forefront of pre-internet 90s offensiveness.

Oh yes. If Answer Me! could be witty and creative, Mike Diana could be visually neat & adolescently creative...

Fuck certainly is more like scribbles on school books -level offenses, vulgar angst, breaking taboos with "I'll just throw this shit..." -approach. I have all the FUCK magazines and original book as well. Should have somewhere also his VHS recordings which are pretty much similar nature. As a zine format, it is still kind of relevant document of certain things. To go and read it from PDF on the screen, no point, hah..
