Stack magazine sub service jumps the Atlantic to serve up Canadian and U.S. indie titles

About 18 months ago, we wrote about a new UK-based "curated" subscription service called Stack, serving indie-mags out of Britain. A bit later, we noted that at least one Canadian indie title was included -- the  fashion title Worn. At that time, the service offered mostly U.K.-based alternative music titles and a couple of U.S. indies.

Apparently, there was such a huge demand from U.S. customers that it was decided to launch an American version of Stack, based in New England. It carried different titles from the UK version and ships from the U.S. Worn is, so far,  the only Canadian title, but they are apparently looking to be tipped about the best in English-language, independent publishing from the USA, Canada and beyond.
Think of it as a private magazine club that brings a fresh perspective on the world every two months. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who works in editorial, graphic design or advertising – or even a doctor or dentist looking for something fresh to put in their waiting room. If you live in the USA and you’re at all interested in modern storytelling, Stack America is for you.
Subscribers get an envelope containing the 6, 8 or 12 titles they choose and occasional surprises. In Canada, the price is US$119.99. Subscribers let the company know which independent magazines they already subscribe to so they won't get duplicated.
