Dumbo Feather
This is my favourite magazine...the editor Kate Bezar actually calls it a 'mook' because it's somewhere between a magazine and a book. Printed quarterly it includes stories about inspiring people in a stylishly designed format, printed on recycled paper, soy based inks. All of the things we love. Well worth subscribing to.
