Thanks to everyone who responded to our request last month for prompt pre-orders and subscriptions, the eighth issue of New Escapologist was launched just before the end of 2012. Hurrah!
It is surely our best issue ever, but you be the judge of that.
The theme, Staying In, lends itself to homey matters, retreat, and withdrawal. We've got Matt Caulfield on cigars, Robert Wringham on the perfect cup of tea, Nicollette Stewart on alternative living arrangements, Dickon Edwards on growing up, an amazing interview with Luke Rhinehart, author of The Dice Man, and far, far more.

Issue 3 PDF offer
Issue Three -- The Practicalities Issue -- was our breakthrough issue and is always our most popular issue at book fairs.
To celebrate its anniversary, we've made the PDF available for just £3.
Never read New Escapologist? Want to try a digital edition for the first time? Now's a good opportunity.
Issue Three features a conversation with Tom Hodgkinson who you'll all know as the editor of the Idler and headmaster of the Idler Academy. It's also full of fine practical tips on how to get started on (and to maintain) your life of freewheeling laziness.
Enjoy it all for just £3 now. But hurry! The offer will end at some arbitrary near-future date.
Dedicated minimalists and tablet jockeys rejoice!
By popular demand, all of our stuff is now available digitally as well as in print.
