Does anyone else subscribe to this? I paid my money a fair while ago and just received my copy of Ascent but no sign of the actual magazine. WHat sort of delay between publication and receipt have you experienced?

Yes I subscribe to them and since they started putting the address labels on the front of the magazine, under the plastic rather than on the plastic, I haven't missed an issue though the delivery time still swing around a little.

They also publish on a slightly odd schedule. 8 magazines a year I think + Ascent. So it's not every month you get a magazine.

[Digging through my email I emailed them in late April about Ascent not having arrived yet. It was printed and sent on the 30th of March and arrived early April]

Ascent. You can email risubscriptions@bigstonepub.com and ask them if something has gone wrong. I wouldn't expect the mag until 6 weeks after it hits the US.

Man, you could buy it in the states and have it shipped over for quicker/cheaper than that! :-P

You probably could, but I think you'd pay more than $1.70USD shipping an issue.

How good is that!

I remember several years ago buying this mag in a newsagent whilst heading to Araps in winter for like around $10 and now its back issues are free online. Great reading as well!
