MAGAZINES FROM U.K.
N.Z. Deliveries Spread To cushion the effects o. the British seamen’s strike on the delivery of imported magazines and other periodicals, wholesalers are spreading deliveries to booksellers so that buyers will get something during the period that no shipments arrive. It is estimated that 10 weeks’ issues of magazines are delayed in Britain by the strike so far and, if stocks now coming to hand were all issued immediately, there would be “a famine and then a feast later.”
Past experience shows that most readers do not like this They would prefer to have periodicals arriving at more widely-spread intervals. So various British weekly magazines are being Issued fortnightly or at slightly shorter intervals. In this way it is expected that most subscribers will get something for six weeks out of the 10-week “famine” which might otherwise result at present. Monthly magazines are being distributed as usual.
To cover the loss of casual sales of out-dated issues which will arrive later, orders on London are being reduced by about a third.
