THE PYRATES WAY IS HERE!

I'm putting the subscription orders together today, Monday and Tuesday. Subscriptions will go out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (there's a lot of them).

This will also include the mailing of wholesale orders and copies for the advertisers.

They're also being sent to the distributors and should be on bookstore shelves in the next few weeks. It's a new magazine from a brand new publisher and bookstore/newsstand folks won't have a lot of copies because there's no "track record" as of yet.

Anyone going to MDRF through the end of the season can see me for individual copies. I can't sell them at the festival (I'm not a vendor), but we can work something out offsite.

The magazine is absolutely beautiful. Thick pages, thicker cover, perfect-bound (no staples), and chock-full of content (and NO poetry). My only self-critique of it is that although nothing is trimmed off of the image area, some of the page items come too close to the page trims for "comfortable" reading space.

I've already fixed that for the next issue.

Wow, this rag is sooo bad.

The writing, spelling, grammar, even the punctuation is worse than you would expect from a high school news paper. Several of the photos are so unflattering to the subject or just blurry. The "Pyrate Events Calendar" lists 15 events, 10 of which have already passed.

Pass this one by, I wish I had, you can read the full review at
