The final issue of the Tori Amos fanzine Little Blue World will reach subscribers in January. Here's what's included in the issue:

• Interviews: Our final exclusive interview with Tori.
• Feature articles: In two articles, we look at Tori's influences: the Beatles in "The Gospel Changes Meaning" and her personal relationships in "The Songs, They Are A Changing." We trace history in "And the Winner Is…", documenting her performance at awards, and in "Talking Tori," investigating the ways that fans have come together in print, in person and online. In "Time to Wave Goodbye," we reflect on how Tori has evolved in the eight years of our existence.
• Special focus on To Venus and Back, with "Wearing it Well: Venus Turning 10" and "Tourguides: Views of To Venus and Back." Also, in "My Man Is Moistening", we talk to Toriphiles about their takes on "Riot Poof."
• PLUS regular features like news and expert, a music review of Sarah Fimm and Elsianne, and our collective Tori story.

The Tori fanzine Little Blue World will, after 8 years and 32 issues, cease publication with our final issue of Winter 2009. While we have very much appreciated the opportunity to produce our labor of love for the Tori community, the sharp rise in production costs has made it impossible for us to continue as a professionally printed zine without compromising the production values to which we are committed. We are proud of the 30 issues we have completed and will do our best to make 31 and 32 memorable.

Issue 30 will ship in late July. This issue includes:

* Interviews with comic book artist Ming Doyle, calendar artist Lee Moyer (with concept art) and personality Perez Hilton.
* A birthday tribute to Y Kant Tori Read, including an investigation of the other artists who contributed to that work and a look at the packaging of a rock vixen.
* Feature articles, including part one of an analysis on Tori's covers, with a detailed focus on "Angie"; an investigation of the "sex sells" market of modern music; and a deeper look at "The Light Princess," the inspiration for Tori's upcoming project.
* Plus, regular features including news, a song analysis ("Pandora's Aquarium") and a music review (Fall of Snow).

In our time of transition, we will be offering pro-rated subscriptions. New and renewing subscribers will have the option to subscribe at reduced rates for our remaining issues. Also, to help raise money to meet anticipated publication expenses through Winter 2009, we are offering our back issue packs at the most substantial discount we have ever offered. These great bargains will end without warning and prices return to normal when we meet our goal, so if you want to take advantage of them, check them out soon.

For more information about back issues, this issue, or how to subscribe, visit http://www.little-blue-world.org. If you have questions about an existing subscription or a subscription you'd like to start, please send them to our subscriptions editor, Aimee Lortskell, at subscriptions@little-blue-world.org. If you will still be owed issues after Winter 2009, we will compensate you for the issues that cannot be delivered. If you have other questions about the fanzine, please send them to editor@little-blue-world.org, where they will be received by Nadyne Mielke and Angela Reid.
