M c S W E E N E Y ' S # 3 On August 2, the McSweeney's Representative makes for Reykjavik, to get the third issue of the print version printed. This means that if you have any intention or hope of receiving this issue any time in, say, August, you need to send in those subscription checks now. ($28, to McSweeney's, 394A Ninth Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215. Canadians pay $34.) All new subscriptions received by the end of this week will be entered into the database before press, and those subscribers will be sent their copies straight from Boston, when the ship hits shore. Subscriptions received thereafter will be subject to our sometimes-slow fulfillment process. [A process which, by the way, will be overhauled next week. McSweeney's has secured help for this task -- all those who have waited patiently will be soon rewarded meagerly.] Also, the subscription price will soon rise, as production costs are rising. Why are production costs rising? Here is why:
There are other features of Issue No. 3 which should entice you to send money right now. Here are some:
We cannot reveal much else about this issue, but please know that it is very good. We like it very much. It is 100 pages longer than the last issue. It will crush the last issue like the bug-like issue that Issue No. 2, in hindsight, was. But please send those checks in. They will help you, and will aid in our paying our print bill, which right now appears very daunting. Come to think of it, this might be a good time to mention that if there are any of you very generous sorts out there, the Lifetime Subscription offer still stands, and stands strong. Send $100 or more, and you will receive McSweeney's as long as you and we are alive, along with:
Do note that if any of you would like to donate or raise more than $500, you will become part of an elite circle called the McSweeney's Pioneers. Information about privileges due to Pioneers is, of course, privileged. Only those who dare enter the circle will know its bounty. But that bounty is bountiful. That is all. Help us. We want to live!
