One more, Cafe Oto seems a really obvious place to buy the magazine? Maybe they already stock it from you, but if not there are contacts on the website www.cafeoto.co.uk/info/

Also you can submit an issue to MagCulture in Clerkenwell, maybe magazine / book shops will be more interested than record shops? magculture.com/pages/about I don't know how easy it would be to get it stocked in the Serpentine gallery bookshop but they have a section of art / music / indie zines

I have absolutely zero interest in Threads but have you tried connecting with actual art websites / substacks that promote new exhibitions / private views / reviews etc? There is a list of them here (also the London Art Roundup is great). londonartroundup.substack.com/p/the-art-li...

Delivering these to Blackheath today for the next SMAG art event at St Michaels & All Angels Church. Entry is free and 30% of all sales go to local charities. Opens this Thursday!

Three framed linocuts, one is a portrait with a cat sat as part of the hairstyle, another is a cat in the sun, the third just a cat sitting. The two cat prints are in a more primitive style. Two more unframed prints are in the background.

Agree, especially regarding fiction, hardback books are cumbersome and it annoys me having to wait for the paperback edition to be released (I will forget the book existed in the first place!)

Richard Jefferies’ After London (1885) is one of the most important early examples of “post-apocalyptic fiction”. The story tells of how London becomes a swampland after an unspecified natural disaster delivers England over to the mercy of nature: publicdomainreview.org/collection/a...
