Copper Press is a perfect-bound, square-sized (8x8), quarterly publication that looks and feels more like a book than a magazine. Its pages are thick, its spine sturdy, and it wont leave newsprint on your fingers.
Every copy of each new issue comes with a compilation CD unique to that issue. The magazine ranges from 72 144 pages, though of late its typically been 96 or 122. No reviews, but plenty of features and articles on artists, musicians, bands, photographers, snow/skateboarding creative types, and whatever else tickles its fancy.
Its run by two fellas from Northern Michigan, Royce Deans and Steve Brydges, who also happen to operate the recording concern 5440 or Fight! (myspace.com/5440orfight or www.fiftyfourfortyorfight.com). Theyve been publishing since 1993, which was the year they along with another fella birthed Pok Magazine (pronounced "Poke Mag-uh-zeen"). In 1999, three became two and Copper Press was conceived. The goal was to be quarterly, though its editors soon jestily referred to Copper Press as the quarterly magazine that came out three times a year (or "thrice yearly" when they wanted to show off). Then they figured it would be easier to be bimonthly, which lo and behold it turned out to be, so it was for a year or two, until it wasn't so easy anymore, and it went back to being quarterly. Which is what it is now. And so it goes.
