September's
Stack delivery is boat, a travel magazine. Each issue of boat focuses
exclusively on a single city and this issue is about Los Angeles. Of
course, this is Stack so boat isn't a typical travel magazine.
There's no guide to the best places to eat or the top 10 attractions
to visit. Instead, boat is a series of articles by, and interviews
with, residents of Los Angeles in which they ruminate on aspects of
life in the city.
And it was a great read. It needed some better copy-editing, but the actual articles were compelling and gave a great sense of L.A. as a city. I previously had no interest in going to L.A., but boat made me want to visit so that seems like a solid endorsement for a travel magazine.
Would I buy it again? Yes, if there was an issue on a city I was going to. I actually looked to see if they had a past issue on Berlin as I might be there next month, but sadly they've not gone there yet.
