Scooped about my own project. How embarrassing.

But yes, tis true, many of those deadlines I cryptically tweeted while not blogging here were indeed related to this forthcoming book published by Die Gestalten, in which I was invited to write about, well, the stuff listed on the top corner of the cover:

Out in September, people.

While the printer works his inky magic, Gestalten has officially been unveiled as the worldwide distributor of our forthcoming Colophon-accompanying book, We Make Magazines. And to celebrate, they’ve put some pages online.

Edited by your humble correspondent and designed by the one, the only Jeremy Leslie, It’s very different from We Love Magazines, but equally essential for magazine lovers. I would say that, wouldn’t I? Yes, I would, though the truth is that I’m rather proud of the thing. It’s very lovely, a fascinating and relevant read, filled with great imagery (and free to all Flash Pass holders at Colophon!)

More details over at Gestaltan’s website.

We’re hoping to organise a discussion panel on independent magazines in New York, to celebrate the book’s release over here in May/June. Any thoughts on where we should do it, though?
