EDITORS UNLEASHED! The Magathon, New York Public Libraryʼs DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room, 5th Ave. at 42nd St. Saturday, June 19th from 4–6:30 PM. The Magathon kicks off the weekend with a celebratory “marathon” reading. Dozens of editors representing journals of different sizes and styles will present favorite selections from their latest issues.

BARGAINS! BARGAINS! BARGAINS! The GIANT Lit Mag Fair at Housing Works Used Book Café, 126 Crosby Street in Soho, Sunday, June 20th from 12–5PM. Lit fiends can take home armfuls of lit mags discounted more than 50% at only $2 a copy! Choose from hundreds of magazines from all over the country and hobnob with many of the editors whoʼll be there in person to meet and greet.
