Post-Mortem: Last Issue of Gourmet, With Subscription Offer?
Clearly, the closing of Gourmet took everyone by surprise... including whoever's printing the thing. Brokelyn noticed that their last mailed copy of the magazine came with a subscription offer:
The deal: buy a one-year sub for $20 and get a bonus gift sub for [the grovelingly low price of] $4. "Don't miss out," the promo copy reads. "Like the holidays, this offer won't be around for long." They weren't kidding.
