Hmm… purchased, but I must be blind because I don’t see a PDF link
anywhere?

Apparently I was misinformed about PDF availiability from MagCloud…
argh!

Fortunately, I have it up on another service now:
http://www.lulu.com/content/3396321

I’ll be linking that on the site soon…

I was looking more for a number (e.g., $30, $300, whatever).

Are the authoring details (payments scheme, rights, expected length and
format) posted anyplace?

Thanks, and best of luck with this. My past experience as editor of
Ruby Code & Style tells me this is not an easy venture.

I’m currently building the site up, and I’m actually working on that
stuff first since the whole thing is powered by contribution. I can
ping you off list when that stuff is up and ready if you’d like.

Thanks!

Great job! My printed copied showed up in the mail today and it looks
great. MagCloud ships the magazine in a plastic sleeve so my copy is
pristine.

When I made my purchase I couldn’t find a place in the order form to
the let the publisher know I wanted to have recurring subscription.
Did I miss that or does the publisher not offer a recurring
subscription?

Also, and RSS feed on the The Rubist site http://therubyist.com/ would
be great as well. I want to be sure to order the next copy when it
becomes available.

Thanks
Mike
