ChopStix -- Here's a
very well done* digital magazine:
https://www.hotvws.com/digital-magaz...page=1&noflash
It's about the Jogja Volkswagen Festival in Indonesia. Try pages 34-35 for Type II food trucks.
* I actually
like that the ads are embedded in the content (beyond Adblock's reach) as it makes it more like the print magazine I read for decades. And electrons are cheap so they can add lots of local color to the story. Resolution is much better than ink on paper.
