Country bizarre

Came across this 70s journal, 'Country Bizarre', a paen to all things rural and very much following the 'small is beautiful' ethos, on thoughtful blog Caught by the River.

It was created by art students Bernard Schofield and Andy Pittaway, who, instead of creating an alternative rock mag like so many of their peers they decided to produce an 'alternative eco-magazine'. With talk of a 'gentle revolution', recording disappearing rural skills as well as practical 'how to set up your own pottery' articles, the combination of beautiful engravings and 70s typefaces make this hand-produced mag a real inspiration.

Thanks to the blog's dedication, all 12 issues have been meticulously scanned and are available for download here.
