Finally! Time for some hot desking with MacGuffin Nº 8, devoted entirely to our daily cockpit: the desk. MacGuffin pulls open desk drawers and points up desk plants, surveying a succession of clean desks and messy desks, radical desks and resolute desks, makeshift desks and talk show desks, not to mention the fine art of office pranking and presidential doodling. In stores 7 February (NL), 14 February (Europe) and 21 February (World).
