Section 14: Special Order Form

Magazine subscriptions; Order forms; Ephemera; Publishing--United States--1970s; Periodicals--Marketing; Direct mail marketing; Magazine industry; Avant-garde publishing

A printed subscription order form for Aspen Magazine, the final section (Section 14) included in this issue. This piece of ephemera represents a functional element of magazine distribution and marketing, providing readers with the means to subscribe to future issues of the publication. As a detachable component, it served both practical and archival purposes, capturing a moment when Aspen was still actively soliciting new subscribers before its eventual cessation in 1971. Subscription forms are frequently missing from surviving copies of Aspen Magazine issues, making complete sets with this component particularly scarce.
