Our Favorite PoMoFoPo Rag

In case you need clarification, that would be Post Modern Foreign Policy Magazine.  Actually, it isn't really Post Modern at all - really it is the definition of modern in terms of actual lifestyle magazines.  And I guess Rag would imply that it is cheap and disposable, which it also isn't.  Either way, last I heard we were one of only two places in MSP where one could purchase Monocle.  Woot.

Monocle Issue 27 $10

Pulp

We just unpacked a slew of new magazines journals and books.  Of particular note, we've been restocked in totally awesome Field Notes in all their standard butcher paper brown books and the brand new sold-out-from-the-manufacturer Mackinaw Autumn color.  Ignoring the fact that this native Michigander is somewhat dismayed by the *ahem* improper spelling of the word Mackinac, the limited edition colors are quite exciting, coming in a trio of Red, Brown and Orange books. 

The large publication in the upper left hand corner is two-year old French publication Paradis.  The much lauded magazine (printed on uncoated paper, sorry Mr. McKenzie) is a pleasant mix of heady views on art and culture mixed with pictures from famous lensmen like Juergen Teller and Terry Richardson, often of women in various states of undress.  Maybe not for kids, but it got the stamp of approval for one staffer's meticulously well kept collection of imported periodicals.

Paradis $19.90, Vman $5.50, Ultimate Card Games $19.95, Dirty Jokes $9.95, Field Notes $10

Some Very Light Reading

I'm very pleased to announce that we now have a very tiny selection of magazines. By very tiny, I mean two titles, but that is more a reflection of the fact that we wont have very many monthly publications. More monthly, quarterly and biannual titles are forthcoming, however two that we already have are the UK versions of GQ and Esquire. While you can buy the American copies while waiting in line at the grocery store, the UK ink requires a bit more searching. While I wont tell you which other magazines we'll be getting specifically, you can count on them generally being manly lifestyle type magazines, ranging from stylish but heady fopo rags to stylish and not-so-heady, em... smut, pretty much. Best part: they're currently 20% off - Just like everything else in the store (till August 23rd).
And, yes Nature Group guys, there is considerably more skin in the British mags.

$10.99 for GQ and $7.99 for Esquire.
