There is always something wonderful to read and learn in each issue of the LRB. Much more entertaining and interesting than the New York Review of Books.

Here is my entire review of this app's predecessor: "This app is so pathetic that the LRB should be ashamed to be associated with it." I gave up on it, & had to satisfy myself with the print version. But when I got a notice about the new version, I decided to check it out. What a remarkable improvement! Simple to use, nicely laid out, allows easy sharing, articles can be sent to Instapaper or Pocket. All of a sudden, LRB has gone to the top of my iPad reading list. Well done!

The UK stuff can get a little obscure if you’ve never set foot in this sceptered isle but the takes on politics and history are refreshingly astringent if sometimes on the wordy side
