A “Mook” (Magazine+Book) is a Japanese publishing phenomenon. The practice of merging magazine with book, mooks target and obsess over a specific topic such as a fashion trend, a persona or any other topic you can think about. Rather foreign to the western ideal of thin, weekly, all-around publications, mooks, which are at least 150 pages thick, have found a stable place in the heart of the Japanese public. Here are some mook covers for you to drool over.
