Jacket magazine: John Tranter, editor -- Pam Brown, Associate Editor:
JAcket 37 is growing, and more items will appear through June and July
2009. In accord with Jacket's long-standing tradition of tardiness,
this issue is a little late this year. Apart from accepting the
editor's humble apologies, we advise you to invest in this opportunity
to practise the skills of "patient waiting"! A week or two of "patient
waiting" is guaranteed to elevate your Good Karma(R) rating by up to
forty per cent, make beautiful people fall in love with you -- even
against their will!! -- completely cure those unsightly nasal warts,
and reduce your next "community work" probational sentence for
shoplifting or animal assault by three to four weeks. Come on, do it
now!
You can browse the issue as it is being built -- as we speak:
