Press Release Summary: Free digital publication will showcase 20th century design,
art and more

Press Release Body: NEW YORK - QM4G Media today launched a hip new digital
publication called Style Century Magazine, which showcases interior and exterior
environments through art, design elements and decorative objects from all eras. The
publication is a product of LiveAuctioneers.com founders, Julian Ellison and John
Ralston, along with art and antique industry veterans Catherine Saunders-Watson and
Jim Bunte. Together, the four are partners in QM4G Media, which also launched the
digital publication Toy Collector Magazine earlier this year. The stunning new
online magazine is available free of charge on the 1st of every month, by simply
registering at www.StyleCenturyMagazine.com.

Because of the business relationship between QM4G Media and LiveAuctioneers.com, the
premier online destination for participation in live auctions worldwide, Style
Century Magazine utilizes LiveAuctioneers.com\'s millions of fully-illustrated lots
and auction data to create rich content for its readers, with input from the
far-reaching realms of art, architecture and interior design. Under the editorial
direction of Saunders-Watson and creative direction of Bunte, Style Century Magazine
casts a wide net, with an equal reverence for old-school craftsmanship and the
vitality of newly hatched contemporary design.

\"After the overwhelmingly successful launch of Toy Collector Magazine in April, we
received countless emails from subscribers thanking us for creating a publication
that directly relates to the items they are passionate about,\" said Ellison, the CEO
of both LiveAuctioneers.com and QM4G Media. \"We expect the same type of reception
for Style Century Magazine, which launched today with more than 200,000
subscribers.\"

\"The publishing industry is changing rapidly as readers increasingly turn to the
Internet for their news and entertainment information,\" said Saunders-Watson, who is
editor-in-chief of both Style Century Magazine and Toy Collector Magazine. She and
Bunte are co-publishers of both titles. \"With few exceptions, the most successful
magazines of the future will be published digitally and provided free of charge to
subscribers in a format that is immediately available to them."

Both Bunte and Saunders-Watson bring decades of combined industry experience and
unique credentials to the magazine. They have tapped their worldwide network of
specialists and freelance writers to bring exceptional content to the magazine\'s
pages. Bunte has served as editor of both Collecting Toys Magazine and Classic Toy
Trains Magazine, both published by Kalmbach, and was VP Design for Lionel LLC. Bunte
also co-founded Lineup Technologies, a Los Angeles company that was a forerunner to
YouTube. He also has produced numerous books and multimedia projects on a variety of
collecting-related topics. Saunders-Watson has held several prominent editorial
positions within the industry, including antiques and collecting columnist for the
London Times News Group newspapers, editor of Antique Trader and National editor for
the London Daily Mail Group\'s U.S.-based antiques trade publication AntiqueWeek. She
also worked as an art and antiques freelancer for many years, and in 2005
co-authored The Vendue Masters, a landmark book about the early history of auctions
in Philadelphia. She owns SaundersWatson Media, a long-established boutique public
relations firm that specializes in companies involved with antiques and the arts.

Saunders-Watson formed a key consultancy relationship with LiveAuctioneers.com that
helped pave the way for the establishment of QM4G media and its publications. To
this day, her firm continues to produce the internationally read LiveAuctioneers.com
weekly e-newsletter.

\"The thought process that led to the launch of these two groundbreaking magazines
has been many years in the making,\" said Saunders-Watson. \"Julian, John, Jim and I
have known for some time that digital publishing is the way of the future, and QM4G
media was able to come together at the ideal time to put our own industry on the
cutting edge.\"
