Review
"To celebrate their Bar Mitzvah, Microcosm published a compilation of their zine/mini comix/how to manual excerpts that will help you be so d.i.y. that you'll make your own laptop out of recycled pop cans and design your own fonts that look like a 13 year old girl's loopy handwriting." —Roctober
Review
"To celebrate Microcosm's thirteenth anniversary (the lace anniversary FYI) for three bucks you get this compilation of great material from Microcosm's authors. You get cartoons, personal stories, recipes and articles like "Do Zines Still Matter?". A great cheap read that will probably introduce you to a new favorite author.” —410Media

"Heartfelt and full of merit. Combining some of the best information contained in zines, the compilation showcases the talent of a group of individuals that are committed to bringing truth to their writing and illustrating.” —Buzzine
Review
"Beautifully printed with about a million interesting articles (DIY screenprinting, A History of Publishing, an interview with Bozo Texino, to scratch the cream), well-written memoirs, way decent comics, and the heartwarming story of a publishing company staying true for thirteen-plus years? Very much worth your dime.” — Razorcake
Review
"If you love zines and small press, 13 Years of Good Luck is worth getting and keeping." —Poop Sheet
Review
"After thirteen years in business one of the most prolific diy publishers deserves to celebrate itself. This book is a celebration of the Microcosm mini empire. Basically it is the publishing worlds answer to the compilation CD. A Reader's Digest for the indie set. At a slim 90 pages, this book features excerpts from many titles we have reviewed here; Make a Zine, Make Your Place, Mostly True, Doris and many others are featured. There are comics, art, personal articles, how-to articles and everything in between." —410Media
