When we started magpie we intended that the magazine should appear as a monthly print edition as well as online. As it turned out, that was too expensive for us to maintain, so we dropped print after a few issues.

We’re proud of what we did, though; we think it looked good and read well. Check that out for yourself: click the cover image for a page-turning version of that issue of magpie magazine, to read online or download for later.
