Yea, we're going to print the best-of on sticky notes with an MS Paint cover.

On a serious note, it already seems settled that the best-of will have slightly sparser design than mainline &amp and focus on a simple and consistent style. In the early days it looked like anons were really on board with ordering print copies of &amp, but that seems to have fallen off, probably because it's pretty expensive (~$24 an issue) and hard to justify the cost on monthly issues. Plus it's not like &amp was making any money off it, so it was more of a novelty/vanity thing, although undoubtedly cool.

So one idea I've had is to do a printer-friendly version of the best-of. One version will stick to the big 8.5x11 format, but it's shouldn't be too hard to format a copy that can be printed booklet-style on regular printer paper where you stack all the pages and staple along the "spine"/middle-fold (pic related). Extra zine-y, do it up in B/W, making it easy for anons to print an official copy themselves. Not sure what the page limits would be like for this kind of format, but it'd be secondary to the "standard" issue anyway. Could do a booklet per chapter/category.

Any thoughts on that?

There's definitely a divide on whether early/late &amp is better. All your recs are different from the ones I have marked down so far, so hopefully there'll be a good variety.

What about the later issues made them worse? Just style-wise, or what?

Any chance you guys would be willing to submit reviews for the best-of? Could be short write-ups on particular pieces you liked, or on &amp in general.
