The Believer, Issue 78: February 2011

The Believer is a monthly magazine where length is no object. It features long articles, interviews, and book reviews, as well as poems, comics, and a two-page vertically-oriented Schema spread, more or less unreproduceable on the web. The common thread in all these facets is that The Believer gives people and books the benefit of the doubt (the working title of this magazine wasThe Optimist). On each issue, Charles Burns' beautiful illustrations adorn the cover; a regular raft of writers, artists, and photographers fill the pages; and the feel of the Westcan Printing Groups gorgeous Roland Enviro 100 Natural recycled acid-free heavy stock paper warms the reader's heart.
