These are copies of the zines LOW HUG 9 and LOW HUG 10 that were returns from stores (mostly the old Tower Records, RIP), and have damaged covers, price stickers, and in the case of LH9 - missing cover postcards.

However, all pages are intact, and they are still 100% enjoyable reads!

I'm selling them for SUPER cheap to clear things out! Take a chance on them!
