Tue, 15 July 2008 It's WFTT #11 or should that be Waiting For The Trade 101? As we provide our guide to Waiting For The Trade for Beginners. We've taken our experience of 4 yrs+ as comic lovers buying only trades and distilled them into a handy guide. First we lay down the facts of the matter and then we toss about some opinions on the good, the bad and the indifferent! But don't be alarmed, this isn't Floppies vs Trades yet again...we're trying to put foward an unbiased and frank account of what it means to WFTT. Whether you're already a WFTTer or if you're thinking of making the switch we think this is the episode for you. We also announce the winner of our iTunes logo competition! Comments[0] |
