vivabrighton <strong>Issue</strong> 52. <strong>June</strong> <strong>2017</strong> EDITORIAL ................................................................................... Most things in life are nicer if you take a little time over them. Lean back into them. Luxuriate in them. This is the domain of print. The artfully bound book, the hushed aisles of a bookshop, the beautifully made magazine. While whole libraries can be contained on a single harddrive, and information zips around without even the need for wires, there is no substituting the tangibility of print. It’s sensory. You can smell it in the air: the aging paper in a library, the inky whiff of a newly minted magazine. You can feast your eyes on the art of the cover. Linger over the illustrated plate. Hear the promising creak of a freshly broken spine. Feel the slip of a coated page beneath your fingers, the breeze of a turning page. It’s a quality-of-life thing. So ‘print’ is the (slightly self-indulgent and somewhat meta) theme of this issue. And, as ever, its content has been discussed, commissioned, researched, written, photographed, illustrated, sub-edited, proofread, laid out, and proofread again. Any minute now we’ll be consigning it to print. Sending it off to the printers who’ll take our pages and, in a time-honoured yet stateof-the-art process, print, bind and check them. Make flesh our words and pictures. All 15,000 copies. Then our distribution team will get it to you. So consider this an invitation to sit back and spend a little time with us. We’ve earned it. And you probably have too. THE TEAM .....................
