On 1st December 2010 Virgin Tycoon Richard Branson launched what he calls the “first truly digital” magazine for Apple’s iPad.
The publication, which is called Project, is a monthly style and culture magazine and it will be sold through Apple’s App store.
Blackwell, the UK’s leading academic bookseller, has launched a new online magazine subscription service in partnership with magazine group ThreePM.
The new magazine service offers more than 850 titles including specialist
and B2B magazines as well as more popular titles. With Blackwell’s historic
strength in specialist, academic and professional markets the integration
of upmarket magazine publications will provide even greater product choice
for Blackwell customers.
Jessica Armishaw, head of online, said: “We feel that this is the ideal
time to launch a new magazine subscription service in the run up to
Christmas. Magazines make fantastic gifts, especially for that
hard-to-buy-for relative. The site provides subscriptions for a diverse
range of titles from The Economist, National Geographic, Country Life,
Wired and the Spectator to the less familiar Selvedge, Nano and Decanter
Magazine.”
The various categories including arts and culture, business and finance,
career and industry, computers and technology, food and home, hobbies and
leisure, lifestyle, motoring and transport, news and current affairs,
science resources, women’s interest and even overseas titles.
Adding magazines to the diverse range of books already available from
Blackwell Online further substantiates Blackwell as The Knowledge Retailer.
