Side Salad, our fellow congregant in Spy worship, notes that Gawker notes that the New York Observer notes that
Kurt Andersen and (E.) Graydon Carter, the co-founders of SPY magazine, are thinking of putting together a book anthology of pieces from old issues. Progress, however, appears to be slow. Andersen: "Thus far, it's been a couple of codgers looking back on our youth. It's more like 'Hey, wasn't that great?' and 'Yeah, that was really great!'" (Which is exactly what the entire industry has been doing for the last year or so. "Hey, wasn't SPY great? Yeah, SPY was really great! Let's do another one! No, we can't. They went out of business. Clearly there's no demand. But wasn't SPY great? Yeah, SPY was really great!")
While you, the faithful, are waiting, don't miss the excellent Ten Years Ago in Spy site, from Joe Clark, the self-described reigning Spy obsessif online. Much talk of the mag's art direction, typography, etc.
