If you're a diligent letter-writer, you may not need these, but you might know someone who does. If
you're not a diligent letter-writer, how do you expect anyone to write to you if you're unapologetically
tardy?
These correspondence cards are letterpress printed on heavy, high-quality Fabriano Murillo paper, with
your choice of envelope color. Each set includes five cards and five envelopes.
Currently sold

My gosh, postage keeps just going up and up and up! And stamps just keep getting duller and duller
and duller! What's a letter-writer to do? Pod Post feels your pain. Pod Post also spends a lot of time
poking through the old stamp box at the local stamp and coin shop. These cards are the happy
marriage of aesthetics and function. What you see here are five cards, each decorated with a hand-
carved rubber stamp of Pod design and execution. Said cards come with five envelopes which have
already been stamped for you (using valid vintage postage that corresponds to the 41 cent
rate currently in effect). Yes, those are real stamps! And yes, there is room for you to write the
address on the envelope! Your return address will just have to go on the back.
Each card is different and each envelope features a different assortment of stamps. Sadly, we cannot
take requests for specific stamps.
Set of five cards.

Now a staple of the indie world, there was a time when cool 1" buttons weren't so easy to find. If you
spotted someone wearing a handful of buttons on his or her jacket or vest, you could be pretty sure
you'd find out something important about the person by reading them--usually what kind of music
they liked to listen to.
We at PodPost feel that a well-chosen 1" button (or five) is still a smart fashion choice. And in addition
to advertising our favorite zines and our friends' bands, we like to tell the world about our love for
MAIL!
Each set contains four buttons. Brought to you by Jennie Pod's Red Letter Day project.

3-2-2-1 is the result of chance, caffeine-fueled writing sessions, a little library school, and
the peculiarities of a personal soundtrack.
Like our other zines, this dos-a-dos is a collaborative one-shot, but with a dose of
randomness. The way it works is this: Each Pod turned on her iPod and took note of the first ten songs
that popped up in shuffle. Then a complicated numerical code was generated and assigned to each
song. Next, a field trip to the main branch of the San Francisco Public Library, where the Pods found
books that corresponded to the artificially generated Dewey Decimal numbers created with the code.
And finally, 3-2-2-1 was born. We could not have done it without the gentle brainstorming
attentions of Andrea Grimes of the Little Maga/Zine
collection there.

Thirty-two pages, half-legal size, this little gem is hand-augmented with colored accents of both the
rubber stamp and the pencil persuasion. This one-shot reflects the notebooks kept by two magpie
collectors during a recent trip to Japan. Within you will find sidewalk rubbings, capsule bars, fortunes,
crows, and ryoshu: the loneliness one feels when traveling or on a journey.
And with each purchase you'll receive a fetching envelope, plenty of rubber-stamped love, a
heartwarming personal note, and a free! surprise!

I Remember These Places When They Used To Exist
explores the relationships we have with our
memories and the passage of time. By incorporating
found images and cut-and-paste text, Remember These
Places reminds us that our personal histories are
malleable things we are constantly
recreating/rewriting for ourselves.

Insurance Information
*********************************************************************
Because this is not a perfect world we live in, packages sometimes go missing. While this saddens both
we, the sender, and you, the recipient, there are steps we can take to make the occurrence less painful
for both of us. If you would like to buy insurance for your package, it costs only $1.65 for the value of
your order. Please click this button only once to add insurance to your order:
Please be aware that if you do not choose to purchase shipping insurance for your package, we cannot
guarantee a refund/replacement in the event of a missing order. For some reason (despite our careful
attention to making the package look as dull as possible), the gremlins really like bento boxes and
those little darlings are in limited supply.
*********************************************************************
Should you wish to use cash monies for any of these goodies, we most heartily accept your well-concealed cash, love letters, and postcards to fictional people at the following address:
PodPost
PO BOX 170271
San Francisco, CA 94117-0271

*And what if you are not living within the United States? We will happily mail your items, but you MUST
first send us an email (mail AT podpodpost DOT com) to arrange payment for the extra shipping. We
love you! But dang, international post is pricey!

asks us too many questions about them, like "What is this Pod thing?" and "Why are you dressed up like
girl scouts?". If you prefer not to send cash, we will happily accept your money order made out to
"cash".
