Interesting - reminds me of the "Delayed Gratification" magazine I just started subscribing to; it's a less ambitious timeframe, but by being deliberately 1-2 quarters behind, it does avoid a lot of churn and puts in a lot of perspective.

(FWIW: I find I enjoy the magazine, but I find it also spends a bulk of it in discussing interesting but marginal items from 6 months ago, whereas I would've expected a benefit-of-retrospective discussion of key items from the past)

If you don't mind, is it nicely laid out, typeset, nice paper, presented nicely on arrival etc.? i.e. is it a good gift, or is it 'just' a good magazine?

I've thought about 'Lapham's Quarterly' before, it's just international shipping enough to put me off.

The design is great.

Paper is good; thick and matte. Presentation is great, TONS of infographics, interesting design. It's a visual delight.

(Whether it's a good gift, hugely depends on the recipient; it's not quite in the "Coffee table artsy book" range :)

Lapham's Quarterly is great stuff. They had a 50% sale a couple of months ago and I bought...a lot of their back issues.

Lapham’s Quarterly is truly a gem. I am a longtime subscriber and have the whole catalog, which I consider to be one of my prized collections.
