Presented here in this visual anthology are the current boutique periodicals so cutting-edge, they will continue to flourish in print even as their mainstream contemporaries move to digital. Selected from more than 20 countries are preeminent covers and layouts from over 150 independent magazines that advance the medium through their presentation ("Gum," "Kilimanjaro"), content ("Re," "Richardson"), design ("Uovo," "Werk"), and tailoring to a niche market ("Fantastic Man," "Me"). Featuring essays from top industry thinkers such as Steven Heller ("New York Times Book Review"), Terry Jones ("ID"), and Robert Sacks ("High Times," Time Inc.), this will be the sourcebook for magazine aficionados and professionals. "The Last Magazine" is published in association with the traveling exhibition, Magazines in Transition, which opens in New York in September, 2006 and travels to museums and galleries in ten cities worldwide including Barcelona, Paris, Luxembourg, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
