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, Coupe Shift!, 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. It's definitely worth more to you than the price tag.
