How about this for win-win? A year of Geist, Canada's most widely read literary magazine, for free. And Tyee stories home delivered to your inbox daily or weekly, also for free.

That's an offer we figured would be hard to resist for someone with smarts and an appetite for good writing and no junk.

So here's how to get it. Just be one of the next 200 people to subscribe to The Tyee's free e-newsletter (your choice of daily or weekly delivery). You'll get a subscription to Geist magazine in the bargain.

To make that happen, click here.

I'm very happy to be able to introduce some Tyee readers to Geist in this way because I am such an admirer of the magazine's wit, eclectic content, and attention to beautiful detail. It's pretty funny a lot of the time, too. Check out "The Beer Map of Canada."

Geist's fine writers include Evelyn Lau, Daniel Francis, Annabel Lyon, Stephen Osborne and many more. Often in Geist's pages you'll find the photographs of Christopher Grabowski, who shoots for The Tyee, too.

The partnering of Geist and The Tyee is not a new thing. We often print stories and photographs from Geist on this site. Still, this two-for-free deal just seemed an ideal way to cement our partnership.

So don't wait too long, or the Geist subs will all be gone. And if you are already a Tyee subscriber, forward this opportunity to friends. I'm sure they'll share their Geist with you!
