Maybe the occasional sharpener, too. Sounds like a great idea. Maybe the occasional sharpener, too.

Nobody's going to ship you Blackwings for $24/year. And, International Revolutionaries, we love you, but I'm willing to bet you might have to pay more to cover international shipping. (The way our currency's devalued, it still will probably be a good deal for you.) All of that out of the way, the currently in production items that could show up (Golden Bear, Triconderoga, etc.) might be a lot of fun. The more restrictions we put on what subscribers expect/want, the harder this beast would be to run... That said, I think being able to register a general preference for harder or softer leads in the samples (where applicable -- let's face it, some pencils just come as they come and that's it) would, for me, greatly increase the appeal of such a club. In short, I'm in favor, but with a kindly eye towards the poor bastard running the show. Let's not make him regret it! Let’s be reasonable. Nobody’s going to ship you Blackwings for $24/year.
