DOG-EARED MAGAZINES? PHOOEY!

How’s this for ironic! You can pay a lot for a magazine,

 

or you can get it cheaper, and it’s the expensive copy

 

that’s likely to be tattered, torn, and… yes, dog-

 

eared.

 

We mean the newsstand copy. Where do copies sit

 

around unprotected? At the newsstand. Where do other

 

people leaf through them before you arrive, with remains of

 

lunch on their fingers? At the newsstand. Where do they

 

stick on little labels you can’t even peel off? Well…

 

Surprise! At a lot of newsstands, they do exactly that!

 

Our subscribers, on the other hand, get pristine copies,

 

protected in plastic, with the label on the plastic, not the

 

cover.

 

We know what you want is a perfect copy. And perhaps you’d

rather pay

a little less for the privilege of receiving it in perfect condition.

 

As if that weren’t enough, there’s the fact that with a subscription you qualify for a discount on one or both of our original books on hi-fi (see the offer on the

other side of this page)?

 

So what should you do?
