The best contemporary journal of its kind. Some of the concerns, projects, and ideas by some of the world's finest artists, many of them firmly established, and many others, especially the immensely talented Tina Lomas and Joe Magee, on the verge of the fame they richly deserve. The idea of a magazine/journal that appeals to an audience knowledgeable about and keenly interested in philosophy, literature, and the arts is almost naively idealistic in our Age of Over-Specialization. But here it is, in all its splendor, beauty, and glory, for real and for keeps. An absolute "must-have" title for contemporary art, photography, and literature collectors. This copy is one of the Limited Edition of serial-numbered and signed copies, indicated/serial-numbered as such. The actual limitation is not stated. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen underneath her baby sculpture, "Rebirth", by Tina Lomas. This title is a contemporary art, photography, and literary classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Magazine Issue available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Whenever they turn up occasionally, copies available online have serious flaws or command as much as $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Some of the world's finest artists, writers, and thinkers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0014776774. Signed by Author.
