Backers who come in at $30 or more (as of this writing) will get the hardcover, plus DRM-free digital editions of the book.  (You can back at a lower level and still get some pretty sweet swag, though.  For example, if you come in at $15 you get a one-year subscription, which normally retails for ~$20&#8211;and costs, like, $24 if you buy it monthly, like I do, because I&#8217;m a damn rube).<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/glennf\/the-magazine-the-book-year-one\/widget\/video.html\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/iframe><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re one of this &#8220;I Give a Damn About the Future of Long-Form Journalism and Think Pieces,&#8221; then you should be backing this project; <i>The Magazine<\/i> is basically the only forward looking periodical I&#8217;ve come across.
