O'Reilly Craft Magazine

O'Reilly have already been publishing their Make magazine for almost two years. Over the weekend, in a Borders store in Santa Clara, we saw (and bought) the premier issue of their Craft magazine.

I see that Amazon are selling it too, although I had to look in the Books section (not the Magazines). They call it a paperback. Must be something to do with the size, format and price. Somebody did tell me this once, but I've forgotten.

It's in a similar style to the Make magazines, but more focused on "transforming traditional crafts" rather then hacking hardware. There are a handful of in-depth projects in this issue. One-pagers on several more projects, plus mini articles on lots of other things. There is a very small overlap with the other magazine. There was some electronics work in one of the articles on how to light up your clothing.

The magazine also has a blog and the start of an online projects area, which includes tutorials.
