Many thanks to @jectives for debuting your live publication reviews with BLAG 08; I'll endeavour to share it with the various contributors.

For more inside the issue visit https://bl.ag/08, where you'll also find the links to join and get a copy sent to you wherever you are in the world.
Following a recent stock take, I’m discounting all back issues in the BLAG shop to clear the few remaining copies of BLAG 03 and BLAG 05.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone, just like issues 01*, 02 and 04.
*BLAG 01 is now free for all to view on the dedicated back issues page, where paid members can also access digital copies of issues 02–06: https://bl.ag/blag-better-letters-magazine-back-issues/.

Thank you to @letterformarchive for hosting yesterday’s Salon event with Morgane Côme and yours truly.
Working at incredible speed while we slept, the archive has published the recording online already. All 85 minutes can now be viewed here:

The book itself is such a treat and I highly recommend North American customers ordering a copy directly from Letterform Archive:

Those in Europe/elsewhere can compare shipping prices with those in the BLAG shop, which is a great alternative to other online retailers 😊:

Support your local sign painter, and if you’re in Ottawa then that can be the lovely Pascal Arpin. She has usefully included a map on her website so that you can easily go check her work for other businesses before hiring her:

It’s a neat idea, which could only be improved by adding images of the signs directly to the map in case it’s not the weather for walking the streets sign spotting.
