JV,
That’s up to our circulation folk, and I know they’re considering it, but for now, no.

I meant OPTION, not often!

Just wondering if PWM plans to offer a dual subscription often–usually I prefer real print, but occasionally, away from home I have a bit of spare time? Thanks JV

I think this is a great move for the magazine! Companies fail because of their inability to transform or identify what industry they are really in. PWW is in the media industry and digital magazines are a from of media as is this website. PWW is now giving themselves the opportunity to capture a larger global market share. I can’t wait congrats on the digital release.

I don’t have the power to cancel the print sub (or check if it went through…but if you’re using the newest Firefox, it may not have; we’re trying to fix that little bug right now) – but I can get you to the right person – can you send me an e-mail (megan.fitzpatrick@fwmedia.com) with your subscription mailing address (and customer # if you have it, from a label) – then I’ll send it on to our circ rep?
Thanks!

I had just renewed my subscription on line, but it didn’t appear to take. I then read this item, so I want to wait to renew to only take the digital subscription. Please help me out if it did go through.
Thanks

I own one example, a book of hours that I inherited. Otherwise, I just look at them in museums, where they’re usually under glass. But the UC rare books collection has some lovely examples, and I’ve been lucky enough to get my (gloved) hands on those. If I had scads of cash though, I’d be more likely to spend it on quarto plays from 1560-1642….also incredibly expensive. Heck — I’d give up all my cats and a good deal more for a period edition of “The Knight of the Burning Pestle!”

Where do you get the incunabula, they are incredibly expensive since they are the books that were only published between the beginning of the printing press (1450)and 1500.

I’m working on pulling together a little promo piece of a few stories – have to run it by a few people first, but I think I’ll be able to deliver something in a couple of days.

Sadly, just checking on an iPad won’t tell us if they are DRM-encumbered. (The PDF reader on the iPad supports a lot, if not all, of Adobe’s DRM scheme.) Is there any way we could get a sample page or three so I can see if it will load on my computers here? They’re all Linux of some flavor, so no Adobe reader for me.
