Doug,
Send them a reminder. They are normally quite good at answering emails. Perhaps they have not processed the order yet and so the replies have not been sent.
I telephoned my order and they told me that the card would not be charged until the first issue goes out.

Helen, I think I got an email about the same time you did. And for an airmail subscription, I think that's really not too bad a price.
However, it's still out of reach of my current budget, darn it!
But our local library is really wonderful at carrying a really wide range of magazines, and patrons may request a particular one to be added to their usual selection. Perhaps I'll request it here. I really WOULD like to see this for myself!

Dear All, We are really excited that there has been this level of interest in our new venture, Birds Illustrated magazine. Sorry it's taken so long to respond but the last week has been taken up with getting the first issue to the printers!
To try to answer some of the questions:
Birds Illustrated is a quarterly magazine and the introductory offer through Bird Forum is £15.80 including postage within the UK. Postage rates overseas, but within Europe are £3.40 and to the rest of the world £5. Overseas post will go airmail.
The magazine is subscription only. This is a by-product of the trade, as there are now some 3000 magazines available at any one time so unless you are a big seller or are prepared to offer enormous discounts, it is very difficult to have your publications adopted by retail outlets.
We are publishing this title through Buckingham Press, under licence from EMAP. Buckingham Press publish The Birdwatcher's Yearbook, which has been going for 23 years, Best Birdwatching Sites in Norfolk and a soon to be released Best Birdwatching Sites in Sussex. We do not publish Outdoor Photography.
In addition to remaining as editor of Birdwatching magazine, I am also editing Birds Illustrated along with the other Buckingham Press publications.
If you are attending the Bird Fair at Rutland, we have a stand there (M2/41 - next to Birdwatching Mag), and would love to see you. There will also be copies of the first issue of the magazine for anyone who would like to see it before subscribing.

Dear all,
A real treat to day.
Quite unexpectedly there was a copy of Birds Illustrated with my morning paper in the dressing room.
I have only managed a superficial thumb through. But my first impression is very favorable, splendid photography and thankfully not shot through with ghastly adverts and those infuriating bumphlettes that drop into ones coffee.
Yours etc:
Gordon Boreham-Styffe.

Birds Illustrated at the British Bird Fair
For those people on Bird Forum in the UK at the weekend you'll be able to get your hands on the first edition of Birds Illustrated, all being well, at this year's British Birdwatching Fair.
I'm going on the Friday as usual.
