We also have two available at the following size: 2 x 1.25", which is not quite 1/8 of a page. These will go for $7. ($14 for color).
Circulation is about 500, although we have been increasing lately. We sent 100 copies of Issue 4 to Tower Records. We continue to print each issue indefinitely. This is a great deal!
