The editor refers to the zine as "A to Z."

From the short editorial:

Because of size increase and rising costs, I've had to raise the price of A to Z, effective October 2002. Those subscribers who have paid a year's subscription cost will continue to receive A to Z at no additional cost. Those subscribers who buy individual issues will need to remit the correct funds from now on.

I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but after going in the hole for the last two issues, I felt it prudent to raise prices enough to cover costs, rather than stop publication.
