Could you please post contact details of the publisher, as I would be interested in stocking this magazine.

Thanks.

I did google for it but several other Friction Magazines came up, some  I could only sell from under the counter in a plain paper bag!

Do any of you guy's know the Friction team personally?

I was speaking to a shop owner down here about why he wouldn't stock it (as I've been bugging him about it for a while).  His main cause of complaint was not the small mark up but that the binding of it was badly done and he felt he would lose money on the ones that broke in the post.

He also pointed out the spelling and gramatical errors, but I assured him that more sales would be able help this out.............

It would be great to see this mag more often so if any of you can pass on these comments it would be appreciated

And he seems to struggle with 'tinternet.

I always get Friction Magazine posted to me and it seems to survive pretty intact. I'm sure they could come ot some agreement about any magazines getting damaged in the post (although I would have thought any damage would be unlikely).

As for typos, nothing Spellcheck can't fix.

We've had up to 100 copies of every issue in our shop, we sell every copy & not once have we had a problem with the binding.. Can't believe that some spelling mistakes would put someone off buying it.. what is the world coming too??!!! Anyhows the Beta team will be distributing Friction too, so you can tell the openminded shop owner he can get copies from them...

I totally agree :)
I think what has happened is that the copies he has been sent have had trouble with the bindings so..................... he is a little sceptical.  If there was a normal mark up of the magazine then this wouldn't be an issue.  I know that he already orders stuff from Ian and the beta boys so maybe it will all come good.

I assume that means you're getting a much faster flock of carrier pigeons??
