Stacking Interface

Once a title is selected, its back issues are viewed in a intuitive stacking interface that organises back issues from its most recent issue, to the year, and then further stacked in decades and years depending on how long the title archive is. This allows for ease of viewing and enables a quick and organised browse through the years.
Fully searchable
Titles are also fully searchable across all back issues and individual titles. A user can search a phrase or keyword under the main title and the full list of results is organised from the most recent issues backward. Alternatively, if a search is done under a selected issue, it is organised under the most relevant search result. Search results can additionally be bookmarked.

Users can also select single or double page view for preference. The contents icon on the left takes the user back to the contents page where all page numbers are linked and can be selected and taken with a simple tap.
