grahame Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looks like another extensive list of things to do, see or buy. It'll be interesting to see how many I'd be interested in buying. And I guess that's the nub of all these ' list' features and cataloge journalism - just how much do the readers agree with the lists and how many of the items would they have voted to include. I'm starting to tire of scanning lists. Sometimes it's nice to concentrate on just a few of the items and provide more in depth research to read and digest. But we'll see with this next issue. G.

grahame Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 No lists to scan. (CJL) So there isn't a list of 43 items to buy as indicated on the cover pic? (PS Not 'scan' as in digitise using a scanner but as in browse, eyeball, read, peruse, look at, . . . ) G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This looks as if it's going to be an interesting issue. Particularly looking forward to reading about how to make a lift-out section. I made one a few years ago and it's not great - trains often derail at the joints. So I hope to build another one, this time properly! I'll be collecting my saved copy from my local newsagents on Thursday 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibber25 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Perhaps publication is moving to Friday. I just published the date I was given. Maybe due to two bank holidays within the 4-week production cycle. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost impossible to ensure that they are in every store on the publication date, anyway. Some shops receive them early and put them out immediately, others are late putting them on display. it's not an exact science. The digital edition should be available on publication day but even that doesn't always happen as it should. (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauln Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 A really good issue from what I have read and skimmed so far. At least some of the "best buy" items are things I probably wouldn't have noticed just from browsing websites. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
