The three issues of Edge magazine, and two bookazines is £5 with the offer. Using the code SALE20 gives an extra 20% off, bringing this down to £4. On their own this lot would cost around £38 if I've worked it out right.
This special edition from Edge magazine takes a look at the stories behind 50 of the best and most influential games of all time.

Consisting of 212 pages and presented with a foil embossed cover, this limited edition celebration features 100 essays on the videogames that deserve to be in your collection, from old favourites such as Tetris to modern day masterpieces such as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
With editorial contributions from the industry's most renowned writers, each entry also features full-page artwork showcasing the visual design of the world's best video games.

Where can I find whoever mashed up the word "bookazine," and do him physical harm?

Tempting until they just never answer the phone! :laughing: And bookazine is just ridiculous, it's enough to tip anyone over the Edge...

The "Bookazines" turned up last week, they're quite a good read. Definitely worth the £4 on their own.

Yeah, I've been reading the stories behind 50 Top Influential Games. Inspired me to get back into Yakuza. Well worth the £4 - and with 3 issues to come next year.

Dear XXX
Thank you for your recent email.
I can confirm that as long as you cancel after the initial payment has processed successfully and we have received the funds successfully then you can cancel before the next payment is due to be taken and still receive all of the issues under the trial payment.
If there is anything else that I can help you with please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Emailed them on Friday to clarify the cancellation and still had no reply yet

Thanks Neostar. I've just had an email to say those special issues - or "bookazines" - have been despatched.
I'm guessing the 14-day cancellation thing is if I don't want to pay anything, and just ditch the deal entirely.

You should cancel after you receive the second issue in early February 2017

I got a further email saying I'd actually start with issue 302, in January *sigh*. No idea when the "bookazines" are due to arrive. No idea when I'm supposed to cancel to avoid going into a second quarter (at £16). No idea when they'll reply to my email from Friday night.

Thanks, needed something to sit next to the toilet....
Just cancel the DD after the first payment is taken through your bank, very easy if you use online banking.

Doesn't anyone think that the 'cancel within 14 days' refers to the £4 for 3 issues deal, and not the follow on subscription?
It would be odd to have to cancel two and half months before the initial offer ends, no? And in the details above it shows that next payment is 05-Jan-2017, so if that was cancelled, they couldn't take the initial deal payment and the whole thing would be voided before it even began?
Phew

This seems almost too good to be true, but I guess they're hoping you either forget to cancel, and/or decide you can't be bothered. A bit like cashback by redemption. Or something :laughing:

I think it's after the second issue is received then you just give them a call to cancel, they will still send out the third issue

Do we have to cancel in exactly 14 days, or within 14 days?
Thanks

Signing up now, but no intention of getting the full subscription. Does anyone know the email address you have to use to cancel? Is it best to do it straight away, or wait a couple of days?

They don't accept cancellations via email :neutral_face: so you have to write (!) or call the number within 14 days of purchasing. The 'bookazines' look like theyre worth a fiver like
