Book-slash-magazine that it is, Dumbo feather pass it on could easily have been dubbed a boogazine. Luckily, founding editor and one-woman-publishing-house Kate Bezar coined the preferable term mook, which has stuck. Founded in 2004, this beautifully designed mook has been exploring the lives of inspirational people for almost three years.
With issue 11 just off the press, Kate Bezar is visiting Melbourne next week to meet our fair city’s mook readers. We who love good design and heavy, recycled paper stock. Kate is aware that this description pretty much sums up the whole inner-city population, so she has ticket sales in place. If you buy a ticket, you’ll be helping to fund one of the best new publications around and you’ll get to meet some of the people featured in Dumbo’s pages over the years. There will also be wine, music, film and food. And mooks.
