SHARP EDGE OF THE WEST

Jumping into
the swim of the alternative press is Edging West, a new bimonthly
magazine based in Logan, Utah. Editor and publisher Andrew Giarelli
says his target audience includes Westerners from their 20s to
their 50s who are “maybe a little irreverent.” The 40- to 50-page
magazine covers movie, book and music reviews as well as newsy
items about the West’s population boom. The June/July issue
features a vacation guide to “Summer Hot Spots’ that highlights
open-pit mines and nuclear test sites: “Just make sure you pack
your dosimeters and portable high pressure showers.” Giarelli says
he hopes to attract a diverse audience. “Our readers live out here.
They rope calves in Paris, Idaho, and they haunt after-hours dives
in Seattle.” Subscriptions are $8 for six issues from Edging West,
P.O. Box 255, Logan, UT 84323
(801/753-7266).
