Magazine Prices
Increasing costs, particularly of paper and postage, have regrettably resulted in an increase in the prices of the Magazines. Both The Free Presbyterian Magazine and The Young People’s Magazine will be 10p dearer per issue from January 2011 (at £1.60 and 80p per copy respectively). Subscription rates, including postage, are: The Free Presbyterian Magazine £20.70, The Young People’s Magazine £12.20, both magazines together £30.90.
Free Presbyterian Publications
We are shortly expecting a new edition of The Peep of Day, by F L Mortimer. This is a book for very young children, giving simple teaching from the Bible. Over the years it has passed through many editions and has proved very popular. This is the third time it has been printed by Free Presbyterian Publications; the new edition has illustrations and a more substantial binding. It will cost £9.50, but till 28 February 2011 it will be available for the reduced price of £8.00 if ordered direct from the Free Presbyterian Bookroom.
