Author Description

"Inside Magazines is a visual record of the publications that occupy the niche that falls between the world of underground 'zines' and the mass market, those journals that gather under the broad cultural canopy of art, music, fashion, design and youth culture - quirky, small-run and often idiosyncratic magazines that contrive to make the ordinary extraordinary. The book features extracts and spreads from a wide variety of some of the most exciting examples of the genre, among them Petit Glam, Mall Punk Magazine, Permanent Food and Asianpunkboy." "Not only is Inside Magazines a vividly visual survey of this publishing phenomenon, but it also features an engaging collection of essays, artist projects and mini-magazines created specially for the book, plus a wide selection of revealing interviews with the magazines' creators. Anyone professionally concerned with contemporary magazines, media and design, and all those interested in popular culture and the contemporary zeitgeist will find this book a revelatory read."--BOOK JACKET.
