Stack is the subscription service for independent magazines, delivering a different title to thousands of subscribers around the world every month.

Subscribers never know what they’re going to receive next, but they do know it will be a beautiful, intelligent print surprise that they probably wouldn’t otherwise have come across. Based at Makerversity in Somerset House, Stack is one of the contributors to Print! Tearing it Up, and for this week-long takeover they’re giving visitors the chance to step into their world of independent publishing. Come and browse the magazines they’ve sent out recently, watch reviews of the most exciting titles, and pick up a bargain from their archive.
