From the publisher: "LLiLL 3 is a 32 page, 5.5 x 8.5″ saddle-stitched zine with a 2-color handset letterpress bookmark! LLiLL – Leftist Leaflets in Little Libraries issue #3 crunches the numbers on a 73 day project – detailed in issue #2 – collecting surveillance pictures and video of everyone who walked by, looked at, touched, or took a free zine from a Little Free Library. LLiLL #3 delves into the odd circumstance of being invited to display their research findings at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, Colorado and the subsequent self-reflection by the author about her conflicted history with marketing, market research, and socio/satirical art masquerading as market research. This zine contains extensive quantitative analysis of zine consumers detailed in charts and consumer profiles deploying the “social conformity index system” to asses “zinability.”
