Another Magazine or know where I might possibly be able to find a copy in this town? The neighbourhood newstand over on this side (which is generally pretty well-stocked) doesn't have any copies of it in, and doesn't plan on restocking it.
British creative-types who might be living in Canada, or reading this (for some reason) might want to have a look at the second Re:Creation National Creative Tour & Awards Programme being put on by the publishers of Dazed & Confused magazine.
