The FOCS Magazine

A year’s membership covers the magazines and booklets for May, August, November and February. If, for example, you join in July, you will be sent the May magazine, and then will receive the others when they come out. If you join in October, you will be sent the May and August magazines and then the others when they come out. Your subscription is then due after you have received the February magazine.

Here is the front cover of the May 2012 magazine.

The magazine, Onwards and Upwards, is normally 76 pages, illustrated in black and white (with four pages illustrated in full colour), printed on white paper with a full-colour glossy cover. Click here to see some page extracts from the May 2012 magazine.

In addition you receive three small booklets: 
Ripping Reads - printed in full colour and black and white, 16 pages, about other books - see sample page

The Lending Library

Members who live in the UK and Europe are also able to use our Lending Library, which has copies of all EBD’s books, as well as a wide range of other material. This is run by Hilary Boulton, and you will find her details on the inside of the back cover of the magazine when you join.
