"The Magazineer is a blog about magazine design and print culture, written by people who love, and make, magazines." {The most recent entry is by Jess, actually.}

It's a cool site, though it's updated so rarely. The how to read the New Yorker article is pretty enjoyable.

Enjoyable. Sadly, I am "that guy" with the New Yorker.

Wow. I had just deleted "The Magazineer" from my bookmarks because it had been so long since they'd updated. Time to add them back, I guess.

Gasp! I love magazines!* I've never heard of this blog! Thank you!

*and yet I rarely subscribe except for "Cabinet" because I never know what to do with them when I'm done; throwing them out seems wasteful especially if they are full of good material but they are ugly on the shelf and I never ever re-read magazines because I can barely keep up with things as it is.

Neat site. The how-to New Yorker post was particularly good. Thanks for this.

The link to The Caretakers Gazette is indispensable. Thanks Jessamyn!

Hey thanks for the link, Dobbs. Yeah, we launched Magazineer with a belly full of good intentions at the beginning of this year, but then life got in the way and we had a brief hiatus.

But thanks to Jessamyn, we're cookin again, and have a few great posts coming up. And, of course, if you'd like to write a review of your favorite magazine, step right this way.
