since 2012

2012年由香港書本藝術家黃天盈（天藍）創辦，旨為推動本土迷你書藝術。此出版計劃以書本藝術作為藍本，每期由不同的作者撰寫、繪畫再手製成書，置於扭蛋機內，猶如分拆開的專欄，讀者逐份扭出，最後結集眾人作品成為「一本」小誌。

Founded in 2012 by Wong Tin Ying Tiana, miniature zine eggwich strives to promote local miniature books. The publication project is based on the form of book art, each issue features miniature books no more than 4.5 cm in length, written, illustrated, and handmade by different makers. The miniature books are sold randomly by gashapon machines, as if individual columns of an issue to be assembled by readers.

蛋誌理念

出版非大事（小空間大理念）

把書本尺寸控制在有限空間，濃縮最精華部份，比正規書刊更多變化，更有創意。

扭蛋隨機性（緣分讀賣遊戲）

透過扭蛋的隨機性，作品出售機率較均等，讀者亦有更多機會接觸更多書本類型。

書本藝術品（藝術設計文學）

以書藝作藍本，包含文學、設計與藝術元素，打破固有框架，用更多角度去欣賞。

The three founding concepts:

The three founding concepts of zine eggwich are as follows:

Publications can be small
The content of miniature books are condensed and concise when compared with mainstream books. The limited dimensions is also a source of more adaptability and creativity.

Randomness entails chance encounters
Under the random dispatch of gashapon machines, every book has an equal chance to be sold and readers, in turn, have more opportunities to be matched with different books.

Book art is a field of art
Book art involves literature, design and visual art. By subverting the traditional frameworks of book making, zine eggwich introduces multiple perspectives for book appreciation.
