Mythprint #378 published

The latest issue of Mythprint has been published (#378) and it will be sent to all members of the Mythopoeic Society; the default method is via email but some members choose to receive a print copy and it will be mailed to them.

We encourage you to join the Mythopoeic Society or renew your membership so you, too can enjoy our quarterly news-and-reviews publication.

We also take this opportunity to remind you that early registration rates apply for Mythcon 48 so please consider joining the conference before the rates rise.
