KASINO CREATIVE PUBLISHING
…will launch a new, annual publication on May 1st, 2010. It follows up KASINO A4 magazine aka The Most Melancholy Magazine, which launched in December 2005. With distribution in over 20 countries it was the most international magazine to come from Finland. It was chosen as one of the Top Ten Independent Style Magazines alongside eg. Self Service, 032C and Monocle. The end came in October 2009 with issue #10, and was planned to fit the strict concept. Within the pages of the final issue we also published JESPER VUORI’s short story compilation novel CONFESSIONS OF A COMPULSIVE LIAR, which had been serialised in KASINO A4’s issues #0–#10.
