Jutchy Ya Ya: 12-issue subscription
It’s not a monthly, but if you take out an exclusive 12-issue subscription to Jutchy Ya Ya you’ll guarantee that whenever I get my arse into gear and actually finish an issue of Jutchy Ya Ya, a copy will be sent direct to your door. It could take a couple of months or it could take a couple of years, but the next 12 Jutchy Ya Yas will be yours!
If you’re not up for paying for 12 issues all at once, you can always a) email me (adamford and the escargot and then labyrinth and a full-stop and then the word net and another full-stop and then an a and a u) or leave a comment at the bottom of this page to talk about swapping something; or b) send a stamp or a stamped self-addressed envelope to PO Box 99, Chewton, Vic, 3451 for the latest two or three issues.
(Australian subscribers will get each issue of Jutchy Ya Ya sent to them as it is released, but because of the rising cost of international postage, international subscribers will be sent their Jutchies in batches of three, to keep the price of international subscriptions down.)
Check out what’s happening in the latest issue of Jutchy Ya Ya here.
Note: for JYY subscriptions, orders outside Australia don’t need to add the extra $3.00 postage.
- 12-issue subscription within Australia (issues sent individually): $A8.00
- 12-issue subscription outside Australia (issues sent in batches of 3): $A10.00

G’day Ad,
Ive done lost your email address. I think it mightve been one I missed when i transferred from ozonline to gmail before heading OS. I’m in London at present. Pity we missed ‘Man Bites Dog’ on ebay. Eli wouldve bid on it for sure. She loves that book. Could you shoot me an email so I can re-add you and harass you with some random reflections by a random reflector.
Hope your well mate,
Den
Hey Adam,
Received your ‘veritable WAD’ of awesomeness the other day. With the non-traditional wrapping, it was like receiving an unexpected birthday present six months early (or late, depending on how you see the gin in your glass).
The small but fun-filled package has been incredibly useful in keeping my mind active while my body slowly succumbs to a brutal cold – Go, Cold & Flu, Day & Night, GO!
I first came across your stuff when I was in high school – Not Quite the Man for the Job was my favourite book for ages, with Kevin the Fucked Up Goldfish my favourite poem – the coffee bean one and the one about the girl who’d written hello on her knee has stuck in my memory too, even though the titles currently elude me.
I was actually trying to find a copy online, and that was how I finally came across this site. Google is defiantly my friend – Yahoo can suck it.
Anyway, keep up the good work. I’m going to get stuck into The Third Fruit is a Bird.
:)
Glad it arrived safely, Kate. Hope you like the new book. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, too.
Hi Adam,
Are there ever going to be more copies available of your book Not Quite the Man for the Job?
Hi Fabian! Sadly Not Quite the Man for the Job is very sold out. I don’t believe there will be another print run of this book ever. I am, however, workign on an ebook version that I hope to have available some time next year. Stay tuned, I guess.
Hi Adam,
Thanks for your prompt response. That would be great! Please keep me updated.
Hi Adam,
I ordered a couple of little books the other week, and I was hoping I’d get them before I head off on holiday on the 19th… any chance of that?
I picked up my copy of Not Quite The Man For The Job recently and really enjoyed it freshly after yonks of not looking at it. Keep up the creative output!
Cheers,
- Cam
Hey Cameron,
Yeah it’s going out on Monday – just had to reprint the Job comic. Should get to you by 19th no problem.
Thanks for the nice words about NQTMFTJ.
Thanks man, look forward to receiving them.
For the record my favs in NQTMFTJ are Christ Goes Fishing and Love or Indigestion… I’ve lived with those poems in the back of my head for years, I think they’ve somehow influenced me… but I don’t really know how.
Cheers, Cam
