Reading through my copy of Emigre 69, I am enlightened and fascinated by its history and run. Mainly for insights into what it is like to “publish” which means literally “to make public” (got that from the magazine) an independant magazine. I have never bought a copy of Emigre when it was in print, but decided to get the last issue which comes in a paper back book form and features 69 stories of its history to see what all the fuss was about. I am now both inspired and scared to think of doing the next issue of KLEFT.

One interesting recurring point in reading the stories is the mention of David Carson, from his early days of using the Emigre fonts, to his rise to fame and then his rivalry with Emigre, really funny stuff.
