OUT OF STOCK ISSUE 1: Invented Languages Cabinet is an award-winning quarterly magazine of art and culture that confounds expectations of what is typically meant by the words "art," "culture," and sometimes even "magazine." Like the 17th-century cabinet of curiosities to which its name alludes, Cabinet is as interested in the margins of culture as its center. Presenting wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content in each issue through the varied formats of regular columns, essays, interviews, and special artist projects, Cabinet's hybrid sensibility merges the popular appeal of an arts periodical, the visually engaging style of a design magazine, and the in-depth exploration of a scholarly journal. Playful and serious, exuberant and committed, Cabinet's omnivorous appetite for understanding the world makes each of its issues a valuable sourcebook of ideas for a wide range of readers. In an age of increasing specialization, Cabinet looks to previous models of the well-rounded thinker to forge a new type of magazine for the intellectually curious reader of the future. Cabinet was named "Best New Magazine" of 2000 by the American Library Association's Library Journal and "Best Art and Culture Magazine" for 2001 and 2003 by the New York Press.

OUT OF STOCK ILF AND PETROV’S AMERICAN ROAD TRIP In 1935, well into the era of Soviet Communism, Russian satirical writers Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov came to the U.S. as special correspondents for Pravda. They drove cross-country and back on a two-month trip, recording their impressions of American life with humorous texts and with Ilf’s Leica camera. When they returned home, they published their work under the title "American Photographs" in 11 installments in Ogonek, the Soviet equivalent of Life magazine. This wonderful lost work—filled with wry observations, biting opinions, and telling photographs—is now collected in Ilf and Petrov’s American Road Trip, the first English publication of their travelogue. In tackling subjects as diverse as New York, roads, Hollywood, small towns, Native Americans, and advertising, this light-hearted yet revealing look at the United States shows how much and how little has changed since the 1930s, and the similarities and differences between Soviet and American culture. PHOTOGRAPHY/CULTURE 2007, 6.5 inches x 8.5 inches, 176 pp., 150 b&w photos Hardcover, ISBN 978-1-56898-600-5 code: cab ilf C-5
