Scotland Fanzine:scotland Epistles - Issue 2


RWM 71 not out.

Recommended Posts

Hi, it's that time of the month again where the ebay listing has lapsed and therefore I have to post a new link to the fanzine. Please remember there is also the option to buy issues 1 & 2 together for a fiver.

Thanks to all who have bought and also for your positive feedback. Some examples of feedback recently have been;

" Excellent item & Speedy delivery"

" Brilliant, fast Delivery"

and my personal favourite : " one word stoatin' "

Here is the link for issue 2

and the link for issues 1 and 2 together;

Hi there - just to let you know that a few of us will be selling copies of the fanzine outside Hampden on the days of the Northern Ireland and Gibraltar games-weather and bladders permitting. It is cheaper,[hopefully funnier]and easier to put in your pocket than the anodyne official[dom] matchday programme and it is also healthier than a burger or a hot dog.[Not the best of sales pitches but it will have to do].

Also, if you missed the first issue, you can get issues 1 and 2 together for a fiver. More importantly however, when we reach next year's Euro Finals you will have some unique, limited edition souvenirs in your possession which heralded the arrival of a new golden age for Scotland at international level....Hic!

Anyway, thanks for 'listening' and thanks for buying.

Robert.

Thank you to all who have bought it. Robert and I are very proud of producing not one but two issues of a Scotland magazine. It's just over a year ago we met up for the first time in over twenty years and quite shortly after decided to produce a Scotland fanzine. We don't have any media background, savvy or investment, in fact Robert lost quite a bit of his retirement money on our over optimistic production run on issue 1. It's great that so many people have decided to buy again this time round. So thanks again.

Sales on ebay are still doing well and here is some of the recent feedback;

" Great Item, great ebayer, very fats service."

"A+++++++++++++++++"

"Loved it. Thanks and good luck wi' it."

"Pleasure to deal with, highly recommended"

" Top quality once again, well worth every penny"

"Excellent read again. Quality supplier again"

As always if anyone else has something to add please do. Thank you

Once again those thirty days are up and so the ebay link has changed. Thanks to all who bought it before the games over the last week. We still need to sell some more to break even and if all those who bought it so far, could recommend it to a least one person each we would pass that mark easily. Remember you can buy issue 1 and 2 on ebay for a fiver and don't forget the Facebook page which gets added to on a regular basis.

Just ordered both but I think text on the listing of buy both copies is a wee bit wrong, says buy both for £2. See below. I was going to buy anyway but made me a little confused, well enough to come out of the listing at first and see if they were listed for £2.

The first two issues of Scotland, Epistles, Bullshit & Thistles for a combined price of £2

Postage only £1.60 UK, £3.70 Europe and £5 Rest of the World.

Just a reminder we are continuing to sell on ebay, Issue 1 and 2 separately at £3 each or both for a fiver. Feedback continues to be quite positive with people already asking for issue three. I met with Robert last week and we have committed to another two issues at least; Autumn 2015 and hopefully a celebratory Spring 2016 issue looking ahead to France 2016.

As always if you've enjoyed the mag please let others know and don't forget the Facebook page too.

Another good read keep up the good work

Thanks for the kind words ScottyAlba. We desperately need some more sales so if anybody could help with a kind word here or there that be great. Also if anybody wants to contribute a short piece to the Facebook page let us know. In the meantime thanks again to all who have bought it and those that have liked the Facebook page too.

I've bought both and enjoyed them as well as recommending them (and I hope there's a 3rd one!). :ok:

There will be a third and a fourth for definite although we might have to cut down on numbers printed but again more sales and awareness of the magazine might help it grow. As always Fringo thanks for your support.

Delighted to hear it. :ok:

Just another push on this. Recent feedback on ebay continues to be positive, so thanks again for those who bought and left feedback. However, with it being ebay sometimes the feedback is more about the service rather than goods. Here is some of the recent feedback;

"Thanks for the speedy delivery "

"Easy Transaction"

" A ok "

" Great Service + Excellent products "

" Excellent, fast delivery, many thanks A +++++++ "

" No problems, Fast Delivery "

Don't forget that issues 1 & 2 are available for a fiver, which a lot of people have chosen over the last few months. Also our Facebook page continues to thrive.

Once more unto the breach. Yes it's time to free money from your Paypal accounts and gain yourself issue 1 and 2 of the Scotland Epistles for a fiver, as the latest listing on ebay has lapsed. Thanks again for everyone who has bought the fanzines, slowly but surely sales are creepin' up. Robert Marshall will plough the lone furrow next week selling directly at Easter Road next week.

So here's the listing for the two for a fiver on ebay and for issue 2, issue 1 is also available

Don't forget the Facebook page

Just realised the initial opening line above is by an English king from the English bard Shakespeare. Maybe not the best way to open a post about a Scottish magazine.

Hello It's Me. It's that time again when I try to sell you something that you don't know you need. With summer coming and the only football news is who are the Giants of the EPL going to pay £40 million for and play ten times next season or who the big fish in our murky little pond going to spend a couple of bob on. However, this is your chance to buy something a bit different, a bit more interesting. Issue 1 and 2 are on sale on ebay for £5 or £3 each, see the above link. Some of the recent reviews include

"Excellent thanks" (several times)

"Superb Zine. Buy one"

For those who have read it already and looking forward to issue 3, we have just about gathered all our articles and have some for issue four already. Everything going well issue 3 should be out last week in August.

Cheers

Yep, thirty days have April, June and ebay listings, so I'm back pleading for sales again. Issue 2 is available for £3. Issues 1&2 available for £5. Issue 3 has been compiled and we are just working on the editing and still aiming for the end of August.
