Factsheet Five is a periodical originally published by Mike Gunderloy of Albany, New York. It consisted almost exclusively of reviews of privately produced printed matter. In the early 1990s, it was the most important publication in its field, heralding what would eventually be called zine culture. (Compare to the periodical Sound Choice in the cassette culture.)
