Keeping the British End Up: A New 007 Magazine

There’s something traditional about turning the pages of a magazine that arrives in the mail, despite the fact that magazine subscriptions nationwide are still dropping at an annual rate due to the digital format. I am ashamed to admit that I collect magazines, comic books and fanzines in digital format because I found the iPad to be one of the most magnificent inventions made. I can hold the issue, search within the contents, and carry only one iPad that would hold tens of thousands of issues. 

 

Still, there is a new magazine recently published and I got my hands on the first issue the other week… and discovered how gorgeous the photos are in this well-designed magazine. Lavish, slick and glossy, this is a feast for the eyes. And a must for fans of 007/James Bond films. It seems a fan club was started in England and members are allowed to submit one or two-page articles about various subjects from the history of Aston Martin, a 60^th anniversary look back at a classic Bond film, to photos of a large Bond girl gathering for charity. Basically, it is a magazine written by fans, for the fans. 

The magazine is not available on newsstands. You have to be a member of the club to receive the issues.
