That was enough for me to subscribe. Issue #1 was fantastic. I can’t wait for #2.

Good luck with this. I was trying to remember why I didn’t subscribe when the magazine was announced the first time, and heading over to paypal now I recall why: do you know it costs more to ship your magazine to Canada then it does to subscribe? I always figured equipping all our postmen with dog sleds and parkers was expensive.

Derek - is it possible to subscribe retroactively? I know I’ve hesitated this long but I really want the first issue, too.

Same basic question as Zazzy. If I get the 4 issue subscription, can it start it with issue 1?

Ramanan — Yes. It costs us about 10 bucks to ship each issue outside the US, and we ask our subscribers to foot that bill. When you order other products online you pay for shipping, right?

Thanks for the link to subscribe from issue 1, Derek. (Thanks ridiculous stimulus check!) I’m moving to Europe later this year, so I’ll be the girl pestering you to tell me how much additional shipping money to paypal you so I can change my address. :)
