Gone are the days of skulking sheepishly in the back corner of a newsagency when you want to read for free. Mag Nation respects your right to loiter. In fact, they encourage it with an unlimited reading time policy, comfy chairs and free wireless.

"You'd think, with the digital age and everything, that magazines would be dying out like the dinosaurs. But many of us are still here, busting our nuts to create a magazine that makes kids wanna spend ten bucks to own." Wise words, Woody from Sneaker Freaker.
