Colophon 2011

Hope you'll be swamped in thank-you-notes. Would serve you right! Thank you so much for having us at your great event. So good to have all this creative energy condensed into three days. Our venue, Beaumont galery, was of course a very special place to display our ideas and experiences. Thanks for that too! I'm sure you cannot resist the temptation to have another Colophon in 2 years.

This book showcases more than 100 independent magazines from around the world. Featuring exclusive interviews and stunning layouts, it is a celebration of the energy and visual dynamite that can be found outside the publishing mainstream. This is your chance to discover a magazine about pain and beauty, a magazine for people who give a damn, and the (self-proclaimed) most melancholy magazine that’s actually anything but.

From Carl’s Cars to Lula, Sneaker Freaker to Liebling, you’ve never read anything like it.
Six sections:
- How did it all begin?
- Who are your readers?
- How do you make each issue?
- What is the secret of your success?
- What is your relationship with advertising?
- Where do you want to be in five years’ time?

Also included is a directory of more than 700 independent magazines. It’s the new essential read for everyone with a passion for print.
