London reading list

After we decide what city to do the next issue on, the first thing we do is go out to our favorite bookshops and amass a ridiculous number of books, magazines, and journals about the next city we’re focusing on. Sarajevo wasn’t easy to find books about, Detroit got a bit easier with Jeffrey Eugenides and Megan Abbott. The trouble with London is that there is just SO much out there to read! We’ve narrowed it down to our favorites so far, and this is what we’ve got:

The Canal by Lee Rourke

Londoners by Craig Taylor

Brick Lane by Monica Ali

And of course in honour of Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday: Bleak House by Charles Dickens

"One of the most exciting new titles we've seen in a while. A brilliant concept and equally brilliant execution."
Design Week
“Not so much a magazine as a nomadic event... respectful, enjoyable and ambitious.”
Huffington Post
"Part of a growing crop of compact, niche magazines."
New York Times
“A labour of love by people passionate about design, it looks beautiful.”
The Guardian
“Very taken with this magazine that pushes itself with an original ethos, succeeding quite spectacularly at its attempt to present the Bosnian city Sarajevo as the protagonist of their story. Some truly lovely bits of writing.”
It's Nice That
“A great idea for a magazine, allowing creativity to blossom for the cause of good.”
