Top Indie Travel Magazines of 2014: Essential Reads for Globetrotters

We may be a digital media company, but all of us at Fathom love a well-made magazine. There's no mistaking the tactile quality of heavy paper, the lusciousness of a full-bleed photo spread, the neat-and-tidy packaging of an otherwise impalpable theme.

We have our reading rituals (back page first!) and our storing rituals (stacked in a tower on the bedside table). And, for the first time, we're announcing our heavily researched list of the 24 Best Indie Mags for Travelers.

As in the other lists in our 24 Best series, we spent hours researching, reading, arguing, and judging the best in show. We hope you like what you see (and read).
