Just how much architectural publishing (and publishing in general) has changed in the last 20 years can be grasped by opening to the first page of this issue of SITES, a skinny architecture periodical I used to browse in the library at architecture school. On the inside of the front cover are ads for two bookstores – Perimeter Books and Jaap Reitman, Inc., both in New York – that have both closed since this issue's publication in 1993. One more page into the issue are ads for William Stout and Urban Center Books; only San Fran's Stout survives as Urban Center closed in 2010. So three of the four bookstores advertising in SITES no longer exist, nor does SITES. This is not entirely a coincidence, as independent publications and outlets for them depend on each other. These days, print-on-demand publications offer the equivalent of Dollens' journal, which makes sense since the marketplace has shifted to the Internet. Ironically, decades after its initial publication, online is where I purchased a used copy of SITES 25. ( )
