![]() ![]() I love the way The Gentlewoman takes its time. Reading the magazine I think the editorial and design reflects this desire to go slowly and take time to absorb detail, so when I went over to the Bloomsbury offices shared by The Gentlewoman and Fantastic Man earlier this week, I began by asking editor Penny Martin whether this pace is a conscious part of the production process. Among the many things she likes about it is the fact that it only comes out twice a year – she likes to take her time with it, and feels reassured that she’s going to have plenty of time to read it before the next one comes out. ![]() Of all the magazines currently residing in our house, The Gentlewoman is the only one that my wife actively looks out for, and so last year I bought her a subscription. The one exception to this rule is The Gentlewoman. Of course I buy them, but they tend to be single issues – tasters rather than long-term commitments. It’s a strange consequence of running Stack that these days I don’t subscribe to many magazines. ![]()
