We’ve tinkered with our pre-order process with each issue, and this one is no different. I’m going back to the single worldwide pre-order option: $20 Canadian dollars gets you a print version of the journal, mailed to you in early January. This time around, we’ve got two fresh goodies for those who wish to pre-order:
1) An epub version of the journal. We’ve done PDFs in the past, but due to how this issue was created, we’ve got the epub ready today, while the PDF won’t be done for a few days (business days, around Christmas). Epubs are readable on every computer and smartphone, and please don’t hesitate to email me if you’ve got an edge case or can’t figure it out.
2) A hi-res, layer-included TIFF image of our custom cover that you see above. It’s 58mb, and you can tear it apart, remix it, do whatever you want with it. I’m really proud of this cover, and I’d love to see what other people do with the idea.
As for the issue itself, what’s in it? Below is our table of contents. And yes, every single one of these articles is available, for free, on this site. You can totally digest the content for free. But purchashing this book supports us, and every purchase affirms the theory we had when we began Fair to Flair a little under a year ago: Wrestling journalism can be better, and people will appreciate that. We want to thank each and every one of you for reading this site, hopefully learning a thing or two, agreeing and disagreeing with us, and believing that there’s so much more to wrestling worth exploring.

We’ve had a hell of a year at Fair to Flair. We’ve written more than several books of material here, and I believe we absolutely changed what people think wrestling journalism can be. We’ve done it without showing a single ad, without charging for membership, and, most importantly, without being cynical. If I sound like I’m on a bit of a high horse, it’s because I had my doubts. I didn’t know if this experiment would work. I didn’t know if we’d be able to get along, if our opinions would differ too much, and if anybody would care what we had to say. So, thank you. It’s been a lot of fun.
