Default 000 Magazine (Issue 001) Great 928 Article

Just opened my new issue (Issue 001). 50 uninterrupted pages devoted to the development of the 928! Gorgeous photography. Well done Pete! And thanks for shining a light on these cars!

Also just flipped through some of the other pages in this issue. This magazine really is incredible. Already a collector's item and they're only 2 issues in.

Tremendous article.

The magazine is a work of art!

I know that there are probably collectors not taking the plastic wrapper off, to keep it a collectible. They are missing out on reading the best Porsche magazine....ever!

I remember this, now, from a while back.

When I go to: https://www.000magazine.com/the-magazine/

All I get is a mostly blank screen in either Firefox or Chrome.

Edit: I didn't want to pay $250 for a blank screen.

I got to flip thru issue 001 on Saturday, handed to me by Pete himself. I saw the 928 article, and subscribed on the spot.

Its worth it.

Here's the image that is supposed to be on that page. (Right-click, open image in a new window).

They do much better with ink and paper, than webz...

Is it possible to buy one issue? I am hoping Pete sees this and weighs in.

I need to get a pair of white gloves so I can open the wrapper.

Hey thanks, everybody!

Odd about "The Magazine" page on the site. Same is true for me on this browser. I've got a note in to the web team to address asap. Sorry about that!

Unfortunately, no.

Not part of the business plan. Watched back issue sales for years at one company I worked at, and it was a high labor and storage cost operation—and people still complained when you charged them $10 for a magazine that retailed for $5 ten years ago and cost $5 to send. Basically, we ended up with a warehouse FULL of magazines, and CA real estate is not cheap. As with the newsstand, it's a LOT of waste product to find a very small customer base. Newsstand for magazines in genre back then was 25-50% sell through on any given issue. I'm guessing back issue sales were more like 1-3%.

Kinda odd seeing a new magazine launch on paperback in today's time. Most new magazines that launch today are online or in PDF form. Wonder if this will be available to buy in a digital version
