Google Books, Yaga fonts and homoerotic 90's jean ads from our youth

Google books kinda sucks. The interface is confusing/lame and the search functions are equally not cool. That said, they just added a bunch of old magazines and I can't help but point out the time warp that awaits in early 90's era VIBE issues. Truthfully typographic nerds and trainspotters may find this more curious than the rest of you. I and I hope this dosn't inspire a certain mc nuzzi to poast more on the tireless merits of marky mark and queen latifah- but I guess thats the risk you run.

and SHIT CJ you know u can search that whole issue right? Not just the cover- plus they got back issues listed, but like I said the interface needs some help. Plus they have old new yorkers, popular science a bunch of weird stuff.

and for the record nuzzi knowz latifah- he's got quotables for sure- I've heard him drop a verse.
