Here we are, a week away from Christmas 😵‍💫. If you still have shopping to do, I have a few things that just might work. Plus, I’ve got @selectedstoriesbooks 📚visiting, as well, thru Saturday, so one-stop shopping! I will be open all this week, PLUS Sunday and Monday 12-5, if you need to pick up a few distractions. Come say hi! I’m closed Christmas Eve through New Years, so get your fix in beforehand. 🎄🎁🎄📚🎄 On to the stocking stuffers: Holiday, Volume 394, New York. This large, luxurious travel and style publication has elegant writing and great, classic photography. This issue is all about New York City. Sight and Sound, December 2024. Each issue is a dive into what is current in film. I also have just a few of the Winter 2024 issue left, plus several back issues! Flow, issue 39. The English language version of this cozy, happy, creative mag is back! Perfect for slowing down and getting mindful. Apartamento, issue 34, Winter 2024. Just in the nick of time, the new issue has arrived! I have a big stack, but they will go fast, so swing by soon! Senet, issue 17, Winter 2024. This little gem is all things board games. They talk to the creators and artists, as well as unboxings and reviews of new games. Terrific! #magsmakegreatgifts #stockingstuffers #readbettermags #readprint #supportindiemags #magsforall #indiemags #independentmagazines #shopindependent

I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is almost here! I will be closed on Thanksgiving, and have posted my complete Holiday hours on my website. But I’ll be open on Wednesday, if you need to pick up a few distractions for your guests, or yourself, on Thanksgiving… Here are a few suggestions: Ugly Things, issue 67, Winter 2024. A deep dive into the obscure past of rock bands. Long, detailed articles, black & white photos, totally zine-like. Openhouse, Issue 22, Turning Life into a Work of Art. This design & travel mag takes you inside some beautifully designed places from around the world. Whole Seed Catalog, 2025 edition. Each year this hefty ‘seed catalog’ arrives, packed with gorgeous photos and interesting stories about seeds from around the world. Yum! Noble Rot, issue 36. This un-serious wine mag from the UK is filled with cheeky wine writing. This issue’s theme is film, and includes a wine-soaked interview with Ridley Scott. Pile Press, issue 9. The new issue of this local gem of a literary mag was delivered this week! This one is packed with poetry, art and a smattering of fiction, and I still have one copy left of issue 8, if you want to make it a duo! Take care, all. Happy Thanksgiving! #readbettermags #readprint #supportindiemags #magsforall #indiemags #independentmagazines #shopindependent

This week’s stack shows a bit of the beauty, and creativity, in our wide world. Time to look on the bright side! Mildew, issue 3. Yay! The new issue of this fabulous secondhand fashion mag has arrived, chock full of creative reuse and stories. Don’t miss it! Lodestars Anthology, issue 7, Revisit Japan. This time they take a new look at an earlier issue, and it is fresh and lovely. Let’s take a trip. Delayed Gratification, issue 55, Apr/May/June 24. We re-examine Ukraine, ‘green steel’, and Taylor Swift. Mono Kultur, issue 50. It’s been quite a while since the last issue of this interesting little mag. Each issue is an interview with one person. This time, it’s actually three interviews, and the person is filmmaker Mike Mills. #readbettermags #readprint #supportindiemags #magsforall #indiemags #independentmagazines #shopindependent

It’s been a traumatic week, peeps. Let’s drown our sorrows in some awesome reading material: Tools, issue 4, To Cut. This French publication examines one design idea, ala Macguffin. It’s pretty dang cool. Asterisk, issue 8, communities. Something new on the shelves! It’s a journal of the social sciences, examining culture through thoughtful, research-based essays. Noema, issue 5, Threshold. So exciting! One of my favorites, the new issue of this lovely annual journal has arrived! Mother Tongue, issue 7. The perfect read for the modern, feminist mom. Gift it, read it yourself, it’s all good. Slanted, issue 44, Type Fashion. This issue explores protest, radical, and slogan fashion that features words. Kind of perfect timing, huh? #readbettermags #readprint #supportindiemags #magsforall #indiemags #independentmagazines #shopindependent

Fall has arrived, and with it some pretty awesome new issues! Summit, Fall 2024. This big and beautiful climbing journal has a photo portfolio on Smith Rock, along with tons more! The Gentlewoman, Autumn/Winter 2024. Always absorbing, just the thing you need to read. Saveur, Fall/Winter 2024. This is a glossy, indie reboot of the classic foodie mag. Travels, great photos, and recipes, well done. Macguffin, 14, The Wall. We build, climb, paint, and tear them down. Metaphorically, and actually. Don’t miss an issue! A Rabbit’s Foot, issue 9, The Senses. In this issue we explore the five senses in film. A great, hip addition to the film shelf! #fallmags #fallnewarrivals #readbettermags #readprint #supportindiemags #magsforall #indiemags #independentmagazines #shopindependent
