THE SUN is a wonderful Christmas gift. For one, you don’t have to stand on line to order a gift subscription — you just drop us a line. For another, it’s the ideal gift for friends who’d share your enthusiasm for a totally independent journal, a forum for those who lead lives of intensity and impact, a magazine that’s printed the unusual, stimulating views of George Wald, Paolo Soleri, Ram Dass, Robert Bly, Stephen and Ina May Gaskin, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Swami Muktananda, and others.

This year, we’re making an unusual offer: FOR EVERY GIFT SUBSCRIPTION YOU ORDER, WE’LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE, FOR YOURSELF OR A FRIEND, ABSOLUTELY FREE.

Why are we doing this? It’s vital that we reach more readers. If we give you a chance to save money, we hope you’ll help us do that. Christmas this year coincides with the 50th issue of THE SUN. That we’ve made it this far is due, in part, to those of you who have given THE SUN as a gift.

Because of the time it takes to process an order and get the first issue in the mail, now is a good time to order gift subscriptions. We’ll send a gift card, if you want, when you want (we can time it to arrive right before Christmas). Just fill in the form below and send it to THE SUN, 412 W. Rosemary Street, Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514.
