Looks like a good deal based on the quality of their magazine work.
Between those two books you're getting a "Best Of" issues 1-10 (with a few extras). Another option (albeit more expensive) is their Back Issue Bundle ($169.99)... 
...The catch is, thats a Domestic U.S. price (International = $239.99). You'd have to have it shipped to a U.S. address (someone you know) and then forwarded to you. Issue #4 Wild Style, Donny Hathaway, RZA Issue #9 RJD2, Dante Ross, The Roosevelt Issue #10 Pierre Jaubert, Watt Stax: Part I, Beastie Boys Issue #11 DJ Nu-Mark, John Klemmer, Bill Adler Issue #13 The Meters, Eric B. & Rakim, King Jammy Issue #14 David Alex Rod, James Gadson, Mulatu Issue #16 Bill Withers, Herbie Mann, Detroit Techno Issue #22 Betty Davis, Too Short, Joao Donato Issue #24 Mandrill, Eddie Cheba, Marcos Valle Issue #25 The Photo Issue, Miles Davis Issue #26 The Hip Hop Issue: Just Blaze, Alchemist Issue #27 Grandmaster Flash, Eddie Harris, Chuck Brown Issue #28 Al Green, Q-Tip, Flying Lotus Issue #29 Herbie Hancock, Spoonie Gee Issue #30 Bad Brains, Elvis Presley, Ernie Isley Issue #31 Shuggie Otis, MF Doom, Patrick Adams Issue #32 (Black & White Cover) Sly Stone, Alton Ellis, Jimmy Cliff Issue #32 (Color Cover) Sly Stone, Alton Ellis, Jimmy Cliff Issue #33 The Philly Issue: Gamble & Huff, Teddy Pendergrass Issue #34 The Jazz Issue: Creed Taylor, Joel Dom, Richard Evans Issue #35 Roger Troutman, Booker T.

[Edited 12/4/09 7:23am] I'm tempted because of the highlighted alone  
Can the bundle be purchased from Amazon or does it have to be through their site, though? | |

Volume One Anthology is sick. I think Volume One covers the first 5 issues, Volume Two the next five issues.
You can't even get back issues for the first ones, so I say Volume 1 is highly coppable. | |

You can't even get back issues for the first ones, so I say Volume 1 is highly coppable. One thing to keep in mind... Wax Poetics has compiled their favorite articles from Issues 1 through 5 and are giving them new life via this full-color, hardbound edition. By enhancing past editions by means of new illustrations, photographs, and an appendix of discographies, both dedicated followers and music fans formerly unaware of the magazine’s presence will be able to appreciate this comprehensive collection of insightful articles. ...These are not the complete editions of each magazine. Still, well worth having. Music for adventurous listeners tA Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Hence the benefit of a subscription. The downside, in my case, is waiting for it to show up in the mail.
