No I haven't had mine yet. But hopefully if it's listed on the website it means it's imminent. Something to look forward to in the next few days then?
I made the same mistake a month ago. It has been listed on the site for awhile, but not with the final cover. I think it is still in the works. Mike has promised in earlier postings to let us know when it is ready.
Any magazine for niche markets will be expensive. My brother owned a small magazine that catered to computer network specialists - when I saw the subscription rate I nearly swallowed my teeth.
I s'pose unicycling hasn't completely arrived yet. But on the bright side - we're the pioneers.
Because the paper that it is printed on comes from a very rare Canadian
Redwood that Mike Penton cuts down personally. Getting to such a remote
location and then dragging the tree back by hand takes some time you
know.
The ink that's used is from the almost extinct rare giant squid of the
species Architeuthis, which Mike personally catches while scuba diving
off the shores of Australia.
What really takes the time is ensuring and watching the trees that were cut down be replaced and grow to maturity. And have you ever tried to get those squid to mate? Don't even go there!
