Yesterday I discovered what looks like an excellent new magazine in Borders. It's called Monocle, is on it's second issue (of 10 a year) and covers global affairs, business, culture and design (although apparently shops don't know quite where to put it) and seems to be chock full of interesting articles and very nice photography. A dense collection of random but very interesting articles. I'd be surprised if they can keep it up. It costs £5 an issue and is on sale globally. Looks like quite an ambitious venture by the guy who created Wallpaper. I hope they succeed but I imagine founding a magazine is one of the riskiest ventures you could take on. The website seems to be a big part of their idea - it contains interviews and micro-documentaries.
