Monocle magazine

I have been trying to find this mag here in South Africa for about two weeks now. I thought my usual book store would sell it but alas, they don't seem to have it. I have been reading good things about Tyler Brule's new magazine Monocle (I myself, have never really got into his previous mag, Wallpaper*). However Monocle has an interesting take on content, ranging from Affairs (no not the juicy kind, just world affairs I think), Business, Culture, Design and Edits.

They will also be pushing their website as they have online-only content featured on the site. It seems they want to keep the magazine separate to the printed copy, which I feel is a good thing, as for someone like me who can't seem to find the printed version yet, I can still visit the site and read some interesting articles. The first online only bit of juice they have posted is a 25 city guide, which you can also download as PDF's.

Something worth reading however, is Dan Hill's (content editor at monocle.com) blog post on the whole monocle scenario.

Here's to me finding a damn copy!
