Add To Your Subscription!

Did you know that The Bob Livingston Letter is the very last printed and mailed “alternative” newsletter? We’ve held out against the forces of inflation and pressure as long as we could for you… but now, we are the last ones still doing it this way. Every other publisher in our industry was forced to gave up on mailed print editions a long time ago. We held out because we believed in putting something physical in your hands—something you could mark up, dog-ear, come back to. We still believe that matters… but the math has turned against us.

Postage keeps climbing. Delivery costs keep climbing. Print costs haven’t just crept up, they’ve jumped, repeatedly, over the past couple years. Paper supply chains that used to be reliable are now unreliable in ways that make planning a monthly press run feel like rolling dice with your subscription dollars, which we are not willing to do. We are here for you, not the paper sellers and government postal revenue numbers.

Therefore it is time for us to change over to online-only delivery, or else we will have to stop delivering altogether. Yes, it’s that simple and that stark. We don’t want to say it like this, but we’d rather be honest with you now than be beaten down by the powers-that-shouldn’t-be until they leave us without the ability to send anything at all.

To complete this project, here’s all we ask of you: just let us know your email address and we can not only continue, but deliver even more.

You see, when we are not restrained by page numbers and weight of paper for mailing, we can not only keep bringing you a professionally designed newsletter — the quality layout, careful editing, and deep research you’ve come to expect via print — but we can actually give you more. More content. More timely analysis. We have more room for more information, more in depth and a greater breadth of information. We won’t have to cut down on length (did you know we had to do that every month to meet print constraints?) because page count won’t have a government dollar sign attached to it.

Also, e-mail delivery lets us respond faster to developments. Instead of waiting three weeks for a printing schedule, we can give you pertinent links, reference sources directly that you can click on right now, and together we can deliver something that works harder for you than mere ink on paper ever could.

Frankly, it’s inevitable that we’ll have to go to email-only. But as you can see, that’s not a bad thing… and we’d rather make the transition deliberately, soon while the newsletter is still strong and not wait until rising costs eat the viability right out of it.

We’d rather choose you, and to serve you, not those who want to siphon money off both of us.

What we need from you: Fill in the form below, and that’s it. Your subscription continues uninterrupted. And your content gets better. And we stop hemorrhaging money into postage and paper and we can invest it what we started this Letter to deliver you: the information itself.

Thank you for sticking with us this long. Now help us take the next step forward — together!
