Digital Metalsmith Launches
| |  A new benefit for readers of Metalsmith--we have launched an enhanced, interactive, digital version. This is in addition to the print copy.
The new issue mailed out last Friday and the digital version was available earlier that day. You should have received an email linking you to the new issue. If you didn't, contact Dana Singer.
The first issue is not yet available for iPads because of the time it takes to secure apps through Apple. Not to worry though, all issues will be formatted for the iPad after this, and Metalsmith will be listed in the Apple iTunes app store.
