Granta 312 Subscription Discount

More good news from Granta: In honor of the "Chicago" issue, they're offering a discount on new subscriptions to the magazine. Instead of the usual $45 yearly subscription, all of us here in the 312 can currently get a full year for $31.20. (You can still get it if you're in the 773 or the 847 or the 630, etc., but those numbers wouldn't have made for much of a discount.) Jump on it while it's hot!
