Wibble Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Most probably a bit premature, seeing as it's still April in this part of the world. There must be a 263 version out before the end of May, as the release of this particular episode usually clashes with Railex..... the full page? advert usually being read after the event. No doubt there's still a dribble to come from the 262 thread, but looks like most of it's been covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lamb Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 You mean like the Hattons Andrew Barclays? No. That particular offering has me gushing like a fountain rather than merely dribbling. Going by my usual observation of sales in WHS, 262 was a top issue as it sold out long ago. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted May 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 25, 2018 Yes - what's happening to subscription deliveries lately? I signed up for a subscription in the days when WHS were up to a week behing subscriptions; it seems to be the other way round now. Makes you think ............ ! Regards, John Isherwood. There was quite a long discussion about subscription in the MRJ 262 thread - my post #19 explained what I think is happening. I’m not technically competent enough to link to that post, so here’s the text cut and pasted: “I’m pretty sure that Cygnet can defend themselves and I’m also pretty sure that this has been explained before, although I can’t immediately find the relevant post. So... If you’re a “big” publication, then your printer tends to handle your distribution as well. So they print the mag, bag up and post the subscription copies and send the rest out to the newsagent through the usual channels, hence subs copies tend to arrive before the shop copies. However, if you’re a “small” publication (and in the overall scheme of publishing things, MRJ is pretty small) the magazine is printed, newsagent copies are distributed and the subs copies are sent back to the publisher, who then bags up and posts; hence the subs copies tend to arrive after the shop copies. I subscribe to MRJ to make sure I always get a copy, not because I want to get it more quickly. And to paraphrase something I’ve posted before, a world in which I receive my copy of MRJ after it is on sale in WHS Ealing is still infinitely preferable to one where there is no MRJ at all.” 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone with connections to Cygnet / MRJ may wish to put the record straight? Regards, John isherwood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
