YES, THE DOUBLE ‘S’ IN ‘SSTENOGRAPHER’ IS CORRECT. IT’S THE TITLE OF THE ISSUE.

Hang on…
What kind of magazine uses another magazine’s masthead on its cover? Or uses, as its premise and structure, an obscure interview with a dead French philosopher? (In fact, this philosopher thought so little of the premise of the interview that, although he consented to the interview, he stipulated that it was not to be screened until after he was dead.) What kind of magazine has an article called ‘Shoot the Player Piano!’?
What kind of magazine has, in the same issue, articles that touch on North Korean super-accurate counterfeiting of US dollars (called Superdollars), Herman Melville, the aesthetics of distribution, Marcel Duchamp, stenography, Richard Hamilton, typography, Brian Eno, modernism, Hitchcock, Esperanto, David Tudor, Ames Rooms, John Maynard Keynes, schnapps, Irvin ‘Zabo’ Koszewski, mathematics and shorthand, architecture and nihilism?
Well… either a very good one or a very bad one. OK, DOT DOT DOT does. Specifically, DOT DOT DOT issue 14 does all this and too much more to fit here. Somehow, they do it in a way that keeps sucking you in instead of freezing you out. Like your most interesting friend, DOT DOT DOT is learning things and evolving. Where it's going we don't exactly know, but judging by the jaunty swagger in its stride, we're going to enjoy the finding out.
