They're not good at answering emails either. Sent an email one week ago asking availability of back issues, no response. Were they flooded with requests by SF members?

Wesborne, send an email to subscriptions @ revolution-press.com, expressing your interest to subscribe or purchase adding that you can't find your country in the dropdown list. They will contact you and help you subscribe manually.

Will do, thanks for the info! I had thought of simply selecting U.S.

I'm not so sure if USPS is so generous as to re-direct the mail to you in Canada.

Give them some time to respond, they replied back to me in 3 weeks. I think they only have 2-3 active staff multi-tasking a multitude of jobs. In the meantime, you may wish to take up the proxy offer from Chocobo, making sure to tell the staff at the Rake to start your subscription correctly so you do not have overlapped issues.

I am actually pleased with the uptake of interested readers. I hope they continue with what they do for a long time.

My fifth and last copy of #5 has been claimed. I doubt that I will see it again in the shops given that the #6 is now out.

Anyone wishing to get the current issue, @22usd personal payment paypal, no frills airmail, let me know.

Wait, there were more than 3 copies available of #5?!?!?! I'm in for a copy of #6; please pm me the pertinent info. Please let me know if you can get back issues. Thanks for doing this!

I found three in my local shop first. Then I found another two in another shop. As I said just before your post, I guess most places will be clearing their shelves of the 'older' issues now that #6 should be hitting the shelves anytime now. Sorry.

For those that subscribed, how long before you got your first issue?

I subsrcibed two weeks ago and nothing has arrived so far. After reading RJman's comment it will probably take even longer.

The piece on Hugo Boss suits in the latest issue is an interesting read in the context of the hate they get here on SF.
