Art Bureau #17 is the Zine du Jour at 365zines:

"Art Bureau is a really awesome art zine...

I suppose there are bigger (and glossier) arts magazine out there where I could look at people's illustration and design work, but I liked the sort of DIY feel to this. The format makes it seem as though the people putting it together really love the subject matter and the project. I look forward to seeing more of their projcts in the world. " ~Matthew from 365Zines.

Short Pants Press Thinks We're Tops:
Art Bureau was at Stumptowns Comics Fest (2009) and Sarah from Short Pants Press stopped by to pick up some zines.

Here is what she posted on her blog:
"One of the things I picked up at Stumptown was this little gem -- Art Bureau 16. Art Bureau puts out some really lovely stuff. Silkscreens and gorgeous little offset books, all to promote artists and designers. The book I picked up has some great work from artists like Bubi Au Yeung and Catalina Estrada." ~Sarah from SSP.

Zine Yearbook 9 gave Art Bureau 16 & 17 "honorable mentions" in their back pages.

Richard, from Midnight Fiction, Has Seen The Light:
"The web has brought the work of artists around the globe into our homes. Art Bureau has culled the sea of choices to bring us an outstanding collection of work by artists whose images deserve greater awareness." Read more @ Midnight Fiction.

Media Junky Has A New Drug:
"Art Bureau 16 is an art zine with really nice production vaules. The paper is solid cardstock with a nice blue ink. The images by Mulheres Barbadas and Catalina Estrada provide much interest, by presenting dense and surreal imagery. Most of the art is really striking." Jason Rodgers (Media Junky Issue 8).

Kris from Xerography Debt Gives Us Good Copy:

Here's his review published in issue #25:
"Bloody Hell! Where has this been hiding?

Art Bureau is a beautiful little package. The printing is amazing, the content is top notch. The two issues I received came with various stickers & postcards. All for only $3 each. Recommended. Read more at the X. Debt blog @ Xerography Dept.

The blog, Wear During Orange Alert, wrote a thoughtful review about Martin Reiner's poetry chapbook:
"No Through Road is printed beautifully, with rounded corners, collages by Ivan Wernisch, perfect font and coloring, it is truly an artistic chap in every sense of the word.

The work of Martin Reiner (as translated by Andrew Oakland) is compact and powerful touching on nature, man, and machine. He makes micro commentaries on life through his perceived reality in the Czech Republic. Reading through this collection you begin to realize that life, no matter the physical location, is a universal phenomenon." Read more @ Orange Spotlight.

Giant Robot 48 nailed it on the head with these kind words:
"This well-organized, offset zine is a gallery in print. There isn't a lot of words in this publication, which provides an unpretentious look at some artists who you may or may not know. Projects like these are a labor of love, for sure, and it's great to see that knowledge and visuals aren't always passed along via blogs and can still exist in black and white. Giant Robot No. 48 (June 2007) -Book Collector.

Danielle from UTNE Reader says:
"This neatly laid out zine showcases new artists from across the world. The zine is small in size but awesome in scope [giving] artists ample space to display an array of pieces and to write about their work. UTNE Reader No. 140 (March/April 2007) -From the Stacks.

Logan Bay wrote a quick synopsis about the zines in Quimby's miniMAGALOG 11 (spring 2006):
"A new collection of up-and-coming artists are featured in every issue, with a strong bent towards the lowbrow / street aesthetic.

...

Sean, a New Pages blogger, wrote a positive review:
"A nice supplement to the Art Bureau online art gallery. Inside pages are in black-and-white, with plenty of well-reproduced artwork. This is a good use of the zine medium to promote emerging artists. Recommended."

dbqp, a visual poetry blog, wrote a thoughtful review:
"The eighth issue of Art Bureau provides us with ten pages of Guy r. Beining's visual poetry—seventeen poems in all, and it's well worth the modest price. It is a small well-produced zine with a good sense of design, starting with its graceful landscape orientation." Read more of Geof Huth's review.
