Magazine for literature

Founded in 1982 it was edited by Axel Dielmann, Klaus Hensel, Stefan Klamke, and Rolf Werner Kunz for 10 years – it was the root of the publishing house axel dielmann: Clamped in own newspaper holders, 24 pages formated DIN A 3, the magazine was found regulary in cafes, the last volumes in 1.400 cafes nationwide. With the foundation of the book program it was not possible to manage that any longer. In 1996 there was a short comeback, but the books took their toll, it was not possible to publish 4 to 6 magazine volumes, while also looking after about 15 books per year.
