<div> <I>The Believer</I> is a monthly magazine where length is no object. It features long articles, interviews, and book reviews, as well as poems, comics, and a two-page vertically-oriented Schema spread, more or less unreproduceable on the web. The common thread in all these facets is that <I>The Believer</I> gives people and books the benefit of the doubt (the working title of this magazine was <I>The Optimist</I>). <br> <br>On each issue, Charles Burns's beautiful illustrations adorn the cover; our regular raft of writers, artists, and photographers fill the pages; and the feel of the Westcan Printing Group's gorgeous “Roland Enviro 100 Natural” recycled acid-free heavy stock paper warms your heart. </div>
