Jean Snow is Production Services Manager at Ubisoft Shanghai.
Previously, he was based in Tokyo for over 15 years, where he lived and breathed design, pop culture, and gaming, sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes (he was also Executive Director at PechaKucha). He has reported on these obsessions for various online/offline publications, including the following: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, 1UP, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Wired’s Game|Life, PingMag, CNNGo, Phaidon, and The Japan Times.

I guess my magazine service is no longer needed. I just learned that Amazon Japan now has a magazine section. I imagine that ordering magazines from there will be cheaper than what I can do, and it’ll also be nice to be able to browse yourself, and get costs right away. What I will do though is sign-up for their affiliate program, and then if you order magazines by following a link from here, you’ll chip in a few pennies my way. It’s definitely nice to see Amazon offer this kind of service, and I can assure that I would be very appreciative of it if I didn’t live in Tokyo. Let me remind you that the order pages at Amazon Japan can be accessed in English.
