Magazines revisited

Posted by anne on March 2, 2009, 9:14 am

The UK's Embroiderers' Guild web is a good way to while away an hour or two or
three. I've done some of their freebies and now think it's time to get their
magazine: http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/index.html

Is anyone familiar with this rag? If so, what's your opinion?

I've had trouble with magzines getting lost, even ones published and
distributed in the US. Can anyone tell me if the magazine might arrive quicker
if ordered through Amazon or does Amazon pass along the info to the publisher
or publisher's agent?

Ooh - I like this magazine - I often drool over copies at B&N. . .

Let me know what you find out about subscribing -

Thanks to the heads up about single issues being available at Barnes and Noble,
I was lucky enough to find a copy of the December/January issue in my local
store. Now, I really want to get a subscription and will email them to see if
they've got any advise about ordering directly from them or from Amazon.

Noble,

All things being equal (i.e., not a huge price differential), order
directly from the publisher. That way they get the bucks, rather than
amazon. For a small publication, every penny helps, and I suspect amazon
is taking a chunk out as the middleman if, indeed, they're matching price.

(Actually, I just checked price, and it's a bit cheaper from the
publisher. Probably because it reflects current exchange rate, which
benefits the dollar compared to a few months ago, which is probably when
amazon set their prices.)
