Welcome to our 12th issue •
This is our 12th issue, marking the first year of our magazine format. No one anticipated that on our first anniversary the entire world would be struggling with a COVID-19 pandemic.
I would like to think this event has provided many of you with more book-reading time and an opportunity to poke around in our archives of 700+ book reviews that have been published over the past ten years. Hope you have found something inspiring.
We also welcome Rudy Vega as a Guest book reviewer, whose frequent trips to Japan prepared him well for his review of Liam Wong’s photobook TO:KY:OO.
Our entire team is in lock-down, which works well for a virtual magazine organization. Speaking for myself, it has given me time to catch up on photobooks that have been lingering on the side, patiently waiting their turn for a review.
Cheers & please stay healthy and safe,
Douglas Stockdale
Editor & Publisher
