I am reposting my message of July 8 regarding _Firsts_ magazine. I phoned them today and got their answering machine. However, the message stated that one could subscribe or place a back issue order on the machine, along with appropriate credit card information. Here is my original message: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _Firsts: The Book Collector's Magazine_ has a web site at: http://www.firsts.com Mailing address: Firsts: The Book Collector's Magazine, Incorporated 4493 N. Camino Gacela Tucson, Arizona 85718-6807 phone: (520) 529-1355 fax: (520) 529-5847 subscription: $40 per year. The Twain issue (July/August) is already listed among the "Back Issues" @ $5.50, plus $3.00 for shipping and handling; fax or phone orders accepted with MasterCard or Visa, otherwise send check or money order to the above address. Office hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mountain Time. (N.B. A call to the magazine revealed that they will be on vacation until July 27). Fine print at the bottom of the page reads: Offer good until August 31, 1998 I have a query in to the magazine for a list of book stores, news stands or other outlets where the magazine may be purchased. I am also looking into the possibility of a bulk sale of the magazine to a book shop which may then field orders for individual copies. I'll post an update to the Forum as soon as more information is available. If anyone spots the magazine on the stands, please share this information with Forum members. ~~~~~~~~ The book shop which I asked to inquire about bulk sales has not yet had a reply from _Firsts_ so the best strategy still seems to be to contact the publisher directly.
