hiya happy new year happy hogmanay! it is too cold to do anything but read so why not read the new issue of your fave three colour riso magazine that’s also all about pets and art and whether you can take a greyhound to the national gallery? we’ll be getting the Pet issue out to some wonderful indie stockists and newsagents over the next week, but if you can’t wait for it to arrive in your city, you can order from us direct! it’s at counterpointmag dot co dot uk thanks!

if you would like a copy of the new issue or from our back catalogue now’s the time to order! pretty certain tomorrow is the last day i can post something in the uk and it definitely get to you, so I suppose that’s your deadline. we’ll be keeping the pre-order discount in place till the new year; can’t exactly charge full price in good conscience without having had a party first

MAGAZINE SALE! We're gearing up to our next issue. But before we can think about printing it, we need to find a little bit more space on the shelves at Counterpoint HQ. So, we're putting all our remaining magazine stock on sale on the Counterpoint website. That's 50% off the latest Long issue - now just £7 - while other issue's been cut down to £3.50. We still need to charge for shipping - Royal Mail first class costs £3 these days - but that means you can grab our latest issue for a tenner and older back-issues for less than that. Pretty decent, no? So, head over to the Counterpoint website (link in bio) if you'd like to grab a copy or two. ** The Counterpoint '24 sale includes: #24 LONG #21 PLAY #20 MAGIC #19 GROWING #16 FLIGHT #15 TREASURE #14 EATING #13 SURVIVAL #12 SPACE #11 MYSTERY #10 HOLIDAY #riso #indiemag #sale
