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!

Before I get to this week’s stack, a little announcement: Starting next Friday and Saturday, July 19-20, my friend Chris will have a table across from the stand a few times over the summer, in preparation for his upcoming opening of @selectedstoriesbooks in the neighborhood! If you love to read - and I know you do! - swing by and take a peek at his selection.
On to this big, beautiful stack of new arrivals!
New York Review of Architecture, issue 41, July/August 24. Sort of the NYRB of architecture. Perfect coffeehouse reading!
Linseed Journal, Volume 2, The Olive. This oversized beauty is a mix of historical, cultural and journalistic writing on one organic material. Plus, it is gorgeous. If you enjoy Macguffin, give this a try!
Cabana, issue 21, Spring/Summer 24. This ten-year anniversary issue is dressed by Valentino, and celebrates the wonder that is this extraordinary publication. I’ve got four covers, at the moment.
Pin-Up, Issue 36, Under Construction. Glossy, goofy design, creative writing. This architecture mag is great reading.
