Editor in Chief, Tyler Brule, has always been ahead of the pack and, when he started Monocle: A Briefing on Global Affairs, Business, Culture & Design, he broke the mold again. At ten issues a year, this must-have, super intelligent, well-designed, widely diversified publication has seamlessly slipped into the marketplace just as readers were asking for reading material that wasn’t segregated into clearly defined subject matter. Monocle speaks to affairs, business, culture, design and, yes, travel (a great favorite of Brule’s) from unusual angles – the current issue has a fascinating article on who the players are that are reshaping the travel sector – angles that are smart, devoid of buzzwords and, thankfully, not US-centric. There is always something to interest, always an insert to clip..Oh! but I forgot! one doesn’t need to do that anymore because, at least for travel, one can have all of Monocle’s 25 travel guides pre-loaded in its limited edition, Bold 9700 Blackberry handset! Which, by the way, you can buy at their online store monocle.com. See what I mean?
