I shoplifted it back in the day. I may scan the layout at one point but I hate my scanner now so who knows if I’ll ever get to doing it.

I collect Honcho magazine so I ordered a large archival plexiglass magazine display box from Gresswell, a specialist archive/library supplier. I added an extra to my work order. I’m an archivist by day. This issue is May 1994 and was my introduction to the publication.

London is VERY warm.
I can’t remember which book I scanned these from and if I ever remember I will delete and repost. These two scans were originally deleted by Instagram back in the day.
