Publish! comes from the same group (and same building) as MacWorld. I
have one of their free offer cards right here:

"YES, I'd like to sample the next issue of Publish. I understand that(sic)
I'll also receive two gifts: "101 Best Desktop Publishing Tips" Volumes
1 and 2--FREE--just for trying Publish. If I like my free issue, I'll pay
just $21.97 for a total of 12 issues in all....etc.
If I don't choose to subscribe, I'll return your subscription bill marked
"cancel" and owe nothing. THE FREE ISSUE AND THE TWO FREE GIFTS ARE MINE
TO KEEP--FREE." 

Couldn't be plainer. The capital letters are theirs.
