Natural Selection Magazine
Growing up in the quiet, beautiful and boring confines of New Zealand, I find myself feeling an unhealthy affinity for the place now I don't live there. This affinity has grown to include anything at all that touches the hands of any Kiwi. NATURAL SELECTION is one of those things, not that it isn't absolutely justified.
Recycled Ed Libris Journals
Post Moleskin introduced us to the $25 plus bracket for plain notepads, these marvels may be one for the vault. Destructed and meticulously rebuilt by some clever library geeks, here is a journal to satisfy those with a penchant for sumptuous stationary.
The story begins with an ex-library original hardback cover, sporadic pages of the original story, illustrations, stamps and pockets alongside new blank pages on which one may scribble or pen a new tale, sketch or collage general journalings.
Free Comic Book Day
No doubt comic books will soon snake down to the bottom of the cultural ladder again, but for now, nicely-bound graphic novels are available in credible bookshops. Why would you enter the lowly, unwelcoming comic store? Four words and an exclamation point: Free Comic Book Day!
Once a year, publishers pick a single issue to give away in an attempt to lure new customers into the crack-like addiction of monthly comic buying.
Mag Nation online
There's no longer any reason to be JALOUSE of the Kiwis and the Melburnians, because now you can shop at mag nation online.
THIS IS A MAGAZINE Mecca. With over 1200 mags now available to buy at a click of a mouse, and 4000 in total set for upload in the next two months, mag nation is the MONOCLE of the mag retail world.
My Penguin
We're not quite sure how Penguin arrived at this genius marketing ploy, but we can speculate that it was one of the following incidents:
1) The copyright on stock images of neo-classical and renaissance paintings expired.
2) The marketing honchos at Penguin were so obsessed with their new Adicolor sneakers that this was the next logical step.
