Common Air Book Fair April 17th-19th Participant List [3] Dial In Magazine @dial.in.mag Manchester, UK A specialty coffee magazine that takes a slow and focused approach by deep diving into one roaster at a time - aiming to better celebrate individuals and their stories. 
Sandweegies Magazine @sandweegies Glasgow, UK Sandweegies is a creatively designed magazine that explores Glasgow’s vibrant food scene one sandwich at a time, celebrating not only the dishes themselves but also the bakers, chefs, and café owners behind them through behind-the-scenes insights and thoughtfully curated storytelling about passion, craft, and community. ILhéu Magazine @ilheumagazine The Azores Welcome to the second issue of Ilhéu – a magazine of conversations, prose, photography and design, produced and published on the Azorean island of São Miguel. The people who make this magazine run on the sun, the wind and the rain of the Atlantic, and we do this work for everyone who loves beautiful stories, images and words. The theme of this second issue is the colour blue, inspired – of course – by the inescapable ocean which shapes the days and the minds of all who live in the Azores. As soon as we declared Ilhéu’s search for Pure Blue, I realised that blue was in fact the least pure of all the colours. The sun is almost always yellow, the moon almost always white, but the view of the sea and the sky from my bedroom window is in constant flux. The hues change moment by moment: muddying, lightening, mixing with pinks and greens and golds, mutable, moody, shimmeringly fickle 
Coastal Lines Press @zinesfromgaza Gaza, Palestine Zines from Gaza is a publishing initiative by Coastal Lines Press, a collective of writers living under siege and genocide in Gaza. Through donation-based access and grassroots distribution, their words are traveling the world—funding essential aid and amplifying Palestinian voices.

April 17th, 18th and 19th we will be at @withcommonair with thanks to @offmenumag with some special coffees from @threemarkscoffee Barcelona has always been a city we admire both on a personal level and from a coffee and a design point of view - so we have been looking forward to this. So what better time and place to announce that this will be the start of the creation of issue #4, and that it will centre around @threemarkscoffee , launching at the end of summer 26. Over the past few days we have had magazines at @cafelocal.barcelona for people to browse through and buy while we plan the next issues content. From tomorrow at the book fair, we start that journey and can't wait to brew some ace coffee, sell some magazines and tell you all about it. Issue #2 & #3 available and some other bits ☕️ Hoping to see you there.

Este sábado 18 estaremos compartiendo el proceso detrás de «Mi hijo dice que bailo en la cocina» durante la primera edición de @withcommonair . Conocimos a Sophie justo en el momento en el que estábamos sumergidos trabajando en este libro y tuvimos muy buenas conversaciones sobre la fase en la que nos encontrábamos, los aprendizajes, los obstáculos. En ese punto, @offmenumag era una idea que estaba arrancando y nos emociona mucho ver cómo en tan poco tiempo ha ido construyendo una comunidad tan inspiradora. Felices de recibir su invitación a esta nueva feria de publicaciones independientes, y agradecidos con todo el equipo de Common Air por el espacio 🎡 ¡Ahí nos vemos!

The first edition of COMMON AIR BOOK FAIR — with love and trust, we welcome a group of independent publishing practices working across print, image, and material form. Each project approaches publishing as a way of holding and sharing — through books, zines, and editorial formats that move between memory, food, language, territory, and collective experience. Together, they form a temporary field of exchange, where printed matter becomes a space for attention, transmission, and encounter. Arxipelag Magazine @arxipelag_
