I haven’t been to Italy in years. Decades, actually. But there’s something about Kathy’s McCabe’s newsletter, appropriately called Dream of Italy, that compels me to read every issue cover to cover.
Kathy is a first-rate reporter who clearly loves her subject. You won’t read any superficial destination stories in her newsletter. It’s all insider stuff: from how to meet the pope to things to do on the Amalfi coast.
A few weeks ago, Kathy alerted me to a special offer for Dream of Italy. When you buy a gift subscription, which includes 10 issues over the coming year and online access to over 37 back issues, you’ll also get a free copy of the e-guidebook “Dream of Italy’s Collected Florence” and a gift card. Here are the details.
If you’re in the publishing industry, you probably know about the economics of newsletters. Typically, a newsletter publisher will kick back a referral fee or commission for new subscriptions. But if you pay close attention to the links in this blog posting you’ll see there’s no referral ID.
Nope, I’m telling you about Dream of Italy for one reason, and one reason alone: it’s a great newsletter.
