"One of the Ten Best Magazines of 1992... With an objective focus on the unusual, Gray Areas is a magazine for those who love looking at the world a bit askew. Its particular strengths are the excellent, well-chosen comments on the passing scene and descriptive, sometimes evaluative, annotations on out-of-the-way catalogs, magazines, videos and comics."

"Gray areas are activities and objects that skirt around the borders of legality or acceptability, and this magazine explores them."

                                                                                                        -bOING bOING Number 11

"In an age of narrow-casting, two-minute attention spans, aggressive Wired graphics and cyber-styled Mondo fashions, Gray Areas is a refreshingly retro, egregiously eclectic, and easy-on-the-eye look at privacy issues."

                                                                                                 -Whole Earth Review Fall 1993

Gray Areas provides insightful reviews of books, zines, catalogs, software, CDs, concerts, movies, live audio and videotapes that you might otherwise have never discovered. A sort of "Unholy Earth Catalog," it aspires to entertain and educate baby-boomers with brains."

"Netta Gilboa impresses us as one of the most competant interviewers in the Zine scene, and does for print media what Mike Wallace and Barbara Walters do for television: She brings incisive questions to bear on her topic and elicits uncompromising information in the Wallace tradition while never losing sight of the subjects' humanity (in the Walters tradition)."

"The unique approach taken by Publisher Netta Gilboa (a deadhead) is to interview a subject and run the entire twenty pages. The technique works, and I found myself engrossed for hours... Anyone interested in counter-culture type subjects should definitely subscribe."

"The type of topics -- rock music, films, offbeat cultural interests - are the type that easily encourage fluff pieces and superficial treatment. But if the first issue of Gray Areas is representative of what's to follow, there will be no fluff here. The 'Zine seems targeted to BBWBs (baby-boomers with brains) and appears intended to reflect changing times with commentary by those making the changes."
