A recent issue of Emigre magazine, a US design rag, was dedicated
entirely to the Designers Republic. It features an extensive interview,
a "designography" of sorts, DR-designed back and front covers, and a
DR-designed calendar, more or less unintelligible. All very good and
worth getting. However, I have a feeling it will be rather hard to find,
as it sold out shortly after it came out, and I'm sure plenty are
scrambling to find the back issues...
I don't have the magazine in front of me, so could someone contribute an
address/phone number for the Emigre crew?
