Also, I don't want to spend my bitcoins: Any way to pay with dollars?

A paper magazine, in the United States, in the year 2012? Ummm, kay. Barnes & Noble may survive another year or so before they turn completely into a non-profit chain of Amazon Reading Rooms 
Sorry, that ain't happening anytime soon. Despite all the electronic options, a HUGE MAJORITY like to grab a paper magazine/book and read it. It's a preference, and as long as it exists, print won't die.Agreed... I wouldnt like to take my kindle/ipad etc to the toilet

Sweeeeet! I could order one, but I'm waiting until they hit the shelves at B&N. That way I can buy it and say; "It's about time you started carrying bitcoin magazine.
Hope they don't notice the issue #.

Looks awesome. Waiting for the digital copy.
BTW the photo of the BFL Single you have in the magazine is outdated. It is showing the old Rev A board; that is not the production board. AFAIK BFL has not shipped anything yet ... what exactly will that article be reviewing?

If you plan to release ~2000 copies you should really try/request that 4-5copies of the magazine should at all times remain on the rack and not be sold so the exposure disapear as soon as the stock goes out of the window.
I'm not sure if we'd have the ability to request such a thing, but what we could do pay a little extra to provide a cardboard backing for the store to use behind the issues with a duplicate of the cover printed on it.
Yeh this will do, as you can imagine the idea is just to make sure bitcoin magazine is still "in the shop" even though its sold out at that point.

For fun you should put a private key in every edition. A phrase or sentence that has like 10BTC on it. First one to discover it gets the prize.
You're a genius. I'll see what we can do.
EDIT: What's the easiest way in the Bitcoin world to import a private key for a newbie?
EDIT 2: Turns out someone was already planning on a similar surprise game in the magazine. I guess I'm not allowed to talk about it here anymore for that reason. I will say that the first issue is going to have a whole mess of Easter eggs.

Hi, I'm trying to buy February 2012, Issue 1, Print + Digital (INTERNATIONAL) with BTC, but the country keeps defaulting to United States. 
As a result Buyer Information on the invoice doesn't even contain a country field. Please advice.

I'd pay extra if the first issue was personally autographed by Satoshi.

Purely out of curiosity, what does a vanity press run of 2000 copies cost these days anyway?

One other point I would like to make is that you should really think about the "12 magazines per year" plan, it could be a problem. It's very important to take into account the rate at which things happen in the Bitcoin world, it makes sense that you have an excess amount of articles right now but if you put out one huge magazine every month, I can make a wager that you'll run into content problems in 6 months at the latest.
One option is to slow down a little and put out a magazine once you're comfortable that you already have enough content for the next two. That is probably the case right now but if you're planning 12 issues, then it's important to plan well. It would not be good if you promise 12 solid issues in 12 months and after the first 3 you start running out of good content. It has happened with so many niche magazines over the years, make sure you don't hit this iceberg.
Edit: I'm not actually sure if you have even mentioned that you plan to release an issue every month, perhaps I made that up. It's an important issue anyway.

I have a question about the international orders, I was planning to order a good amount of the first issue with my friends to save on shipping costs but it seems that the shipping costs are linear, which is very strange. I would also like to know if there is a possibility of a discount if one orders 10x of the first issue for example.
