Lifetime subscription. Includes everything I've published so far (including out-of-print titles). Going forward, whatever I publish, ever, you get a copy. Books, zines, e-books, stickers, cards, cycling caps, t-shirts, records, movies, and whatever else might spring from the creative depths of the Taking the Lane Omnimedia Empire. I've got big ideas, so this could potentially be a great bargain over the years. Or I might quit next month and go into day trading, in which case you'll be out about $320 in value. Sorry. Fine print: Does *not* include other peoples' publications that I distribute; also, when I write a book and someone else publishes it, you'll very likely get one, but there are a few cases where you might not.
