Mook (publishing)
Portmanteau of magazine and book / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mook (/mʊk/) is a publication which is physically similar to a magazine but is intended to remain on bookstore shelves for longer periods than traditional magazines, and is a popular format in Japan.[1][2]
The term is a portmanteau of "magazine" and "book". It was first used in 1971, at a convention of the Fédération Internationale de la Presse Périodique.[3]
