The Idler in the Charts

22 June 2009

The Idler 42: Smash the System is in the Foyles Charing Cross Road Top Ten this week. If in town, do pop in to this most excellent of bookshops and bag your copy.

For overseas readers, we have introduced a digital subscription, which means that the Idler will be delivered to your computer in digital form. Clearly it will not have the grandeur, majesty, weight and aroma of the real thing, but it is certainly a cheap way of accessing the content.

The subscription is operated by Exact Editions, and you can click here to see how it works. Exact have also put up a free facsimile of Idler 41: The QI Issue, which is now completely sold out in its real form.
