Somebody on Bear Alley's comments said that B&MC's subscription rates were still really low, but the price of individual issues had risen... so even if people did renew they were effectively getting several "free" issues. Which is no way to run a business!

So they forgot to increase the price of the subscriptions when they increased the cover price? That's stupid. I wonder if that publisher's other magazines such as Collect it! will end up folding too?

Well, today's the day #176 was due out, so as of now, Classics should no longer be on sale. It's officially over.

I hope that's because 175 sold out instead of the shop diligently removing the unsold copies dead on time... my local WHSmith still had two copies left on Monday - and they were obscuring The Dandy, so I had to move them.

They probably removed it as soon as they got the sale or return slip to send it back with.
