One product, three ways to take it. Read Letter No. 0 free before you decide.
If you have been searching for a subscription box for bird lovers, this sits on the same shelf and is a different thing entirely. Everything in the envelope is paper. There is nothing to store, refill, assemble or find a cupboard for.
What you are subscribing to is a story told one month at a time, and the plates that came out of it. Twelve months, and then it finishes.

No list to tick and no field ornithology. It is a story, one bird a month and a plate worth framing, for people who like watching birds rather than counting them.
