 Occasionally
you come across a generous organisation that is willing to send you
every issue of its magazine for virtually nothing. What we are talking
about here are periodicals in the true sense of the word, where the
emphasis is on information — and not on potential sales (as with
catalogues posing as “bulletins” or “reviews”).
We know of course
that a lot of sites on the Internet function as “free” magazines,
and no doubt Bikwil will be referring to some of these in our Web
Line column as time goes on. But with Postal Fever we want to
concentrate on paper-and-ink mags.
Sadly though,
there aren’t too many examples of such complimentary reading matter,
which means that this is one column where we could really use your
input. So help spread the good word on (near-) free subscriptions.
Here’s a free
one to start us off.
Heritage NSW
is
the official newsletter of the Heritage Council of NSW, and appears 3
times a year. The format is 8 A4 pages, mainly text but also with a few
black-and-white photos.

1321-1099.

the mailing list by ringing (02) 9391-2060 or writing to:
