What this costs

Nº 13 is free. So is one more, whichever you choose.

The current edition reads whole, to anybody, with no account and no card — and it stays that way when the next one lands. Leave an email, nothing more, and one whole issue of the archive is yours as well: you pick which, it is complete, and it is not taken back.

The next issue

Told when it lands, and not otherwise.
