Straight from the magazine Mecca, Colophon 2007, WE LOVE MAGAZINES is the product of intense obsession. Refreshingly thorough and beautiful to touch, this is a resource that’ll be on your shelf until Suroosh Alvi moves to Connecticut. Or THE NEW YORKER runs a funny cartoon. Or some such.

Created by the hard working oracles of magazine culture, Andrew Losowsky of ‘le cool’ and Jeremy Leslie of ‘magCulture’, WLM pays homage to cult magazines of yesteryear, while saluting a host of ultra-new titles. It answers every question you might have about design, advertising and distribution without reading like a textbook. Major profiles include ‘Frame’, ‘Shift!’, ‘Coupe’, ‘Yummy’ and the stunningly auto-chic CARL*S CARS. But the utility doesn’t stop there, with over 1,100 international magazines archived in a neat directory taking up almost half of the 392 pages.

WLM is more than a book. It’s a mag freak’s bible. If you have anything to do with publishing, or merely harbour an unhealthy obsession with quarterlies, then starve yourself for a week and get a copy.
