UNICORN PUBLICATIONS OFFERS START SUBSCRIBERS DISCOUNT TRIAL SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
ATARI INTERFACE
Ann Arbor, MI -- Unicorn Publications, producer of Atari Interface magazine,
today announced special discount trial subscription rates for current STart
subscribers.
As most STart subscribers already know, Antic has ceased publication of
STart. This is a tremendous loss to the entire Atari community, and an even
greater loss to the many STart/Antic subscribers out there. With the loss of
STart, Atari Explorer and Atari Interface are the only commercially
internationally-distributed, US-based magazines left supporting Atari 8-bit,
ST and TT users.
In the past few years, Atarians have seen many of their favorite magazines
disappear from the shelves. In fact, a number of STart subscribers were
"converted" from ST-Log/Analog subscriptions.
Here at Unicorn Publications, we know how hard it is for Atarians to
commit to subscribing to an Atari publication nowadays. That's why we're
thankful for each and every one of our nearly 3,000 direct subscribers to
Atari Interface. That's also why we're offering trial six- and 12-month
subscriptions to Atari Interface at special prices ONLY for STart
subscribers.
For a limited time, current STart subscribers residing in the US can
subscribe to Atari Interface for only $12 for 12 issues (an $18 value).
That's right, only $1 per issue, delivered direct to your door! Plus, we'll
throw in an ST or 8-bit disk, absolutely FREE! [Special rates for Canadian
residents: $24 (regularly $30); Foreign residents: $30 (regularly $36). All
prices are in US funds.]
If you're just not ready to commit to a full year's subscription, we're
offering a special six-month (six issue) trial subscription for only $6. The
six-month subscription does not include a free disk.
To start receiving Atari Interface at this special trial rate, just send a
copy of the mailing label from your last STart magazine, or a photocopy of
the disk label from your last STart disk if you didn't save the magazine
wrapper, along with a check or money order for the appropriate amount. If
you're signing up for 12 months, don't forget to indicate whether you want
an ST or 8-bit disk. Make checks payable to Atari Interface or Unicorn
Publications.
This is a one-time-only offer to all current STart subscribers and does
not apply to subscriptions to the Atari Interface ST or 8-bit Disks of the
Month. This offer is good only until August 31, 1991. All subscriptions
taking advantage of this offer must be postmarked by that date.
If you're still not convinced, we're willing to send you a recent copy of Atari
Interface FREE OF CHARGE! Send us your name and address and we'll send you a
copy of the magazine.
Unicorn Publications has been producing an Atari-specific publication
since December 1987. Originally called Michigan Atari Magazine, Atari
Interface currently has a monthly circulation of nearly 8,000 issues and is
distributed world-wide. The magazine is currently available from most major
bookstore chains (such as Walden's and B.Dalton's), independent
bookstores/newsstands and from select Atari dealers across the US and
Canada.
