What the I Saw That! Newsletter Offers and How to Sign Up

Updated

The I Saw That! newsletter is a signup form on the site's home page that collects your email address, first name, and last name. The site presents it as the way to stay connected with the blog and shop content, but the page itself does not describe specific newsletter contents, frequency, or benefits beyond that. If you want updates from the site, the form is the only listed entry point.

What the newsletter signup looks like

On the home page, the newsletter section appears near the bottom of the page, after the blog and shop links. It contains:

  • An Email Address field (marked required with an asterisk)
  • First Name and Last Name fields
  • A submit action to join the list

The site does not state a sending schedule, what each issue contains, or whether past issues are archived. Treat the signup as a general updates list rather than a documented publication with a known format.

How to sign up

  1. Go to isawthat.com and land on the home page.
  2. Scroll to the Newsletter section near the bottom of the page.
  3. Enter your email address, first name, and last name in the fields provided.
  4. Submit the form to join the list.
  5. Check your inbox for any confirmation message; the page does not describe a double opt-in step, so watch for one anyway.

Expected result: your name and email are added to the site's mailing list, and you receive future site updates by email.

What you can expect to hear about

The home page ties the newsletter to two areas of the site:

  • The blog — posts such as "Legacy," "My French Connection," "Wow! New book: Rencontres," and "Thoughts by W. H. Auden," plus an index of all posts by category.
  • The shop — the site's main product is Sub Rosa, a book on a small-object switch, with a shop entry and a checkout that uses PayPal.

A reasonable expectation is occasional news about new posts and book-related releases. Anything more specific — discounts, early access, or subscriber-only material — is not stated on the page, so don't sign up expecting it.

Common snags

  • Can't find the form: it sits at the bottom of the home page, not in the top navigation. Look below the blog and shop sections.
  • Required fields: the email field is marked with an asterisk; the first and last name fields appear alongside it. Fill all three to avoid a rejected submission.
  • No stated privacy terms: the page does not link a privacy policy in the captured content. If that matters to you, look for one before submitting, or use an email address you don't mind receiving updates on.
  • No unsubscribe details shown: standard mailing lists include an unsubscribe link in each email; confirm this on the first message you receive.

Is it worth signing up?

Sign up if you want to follow the site's blog posts and book news without checking the page manually. Skip it if you need a documented content schedule or subscriber benefits before sharing your details — the page doesn't promise either. For everything else the site offers, the blog index and the shop are browsable without signing up.
