Price increase for FSM?

Fortunately, I had opted for a 3 year subscription before the price change.  With so many publications forced to raise prices I am doing that with most of my subscriptions now.  Sure, the publication may fold during that time but I think it is worth the chance.

I renewed at the new, higher price, but ONLY for one year. Kalmbach's past shenanigans have made me leery of any kind of subscription or promise for more than I care to lose.

That said, at a cost of about $6.87 per PRINTED magazine, it's still worth it to me. The on-line stuff I can take or leave, usually the latter. I splurged on one of the FSM digital compendiums on CDs, and lived to regret it (it's basically unuseable unless you have a 24-36-inch monitor).

I subscribe to six magazines and two newspapers.  Every one has had a price increase in the last year or two.  Some increases have been substantial.  And most of the mags have gone to less than 12 issues a year.  I suppose printed literature is a dying thing, but I am willing to put it on life support.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hear ya Don. That's just the way things are and I'm right there with you on the whole life support thing. 

 

On a different note I've seen your new title but didn't associate it with you. What happened to your old "Don Stauffer" account?

 

I guess several people have had the same problem.  One day I found I could not log in.  The only solution seemed to be to create a new account.  When I did I found I could use the same icon, but not the same username, because it was already in use!  And I found no way to delete the old account.  So, needed new username!

I will never subscribe to digital.

 

With all the problems they have with this site, it would be a hard, if not impossible sell for me.  

I will never subscribe to digital.

I just looked. It's $46 for the print AND digital and then it's $43 for just the digital version which seems to be the new thing. I'm old school and enjoy the printed version myself but.......times are a changin....

I haven't seen this as of yet but I'll be watching......
