0g is a zine-styled irregular publication.
Issue #1 is the first part of the primary period to Issue #4 and has no cover, which is an element to complete a book, in order to show that it is only a fragment of an uncompleted whole.
Issue #4, the last issue of the primary period, will have a binder which bundles the first four issues.

20 copies for reservations and 30 copies for the publishing event are specially bound with an industrial material on the front to have different covers one by one.

The pages of disk reviews consist of eleven successive tri-fold pages.
