Magazine question

Oops! It was lunch time and I was hungry ... somehow a growling stomach always takes precedence over spelling.

Hi Oleander, I'd be glad to answer your questions. The months that don't have an issue are June and August. We chose those two months since the summer tends to draw modelers away from the workbench, anyway. As far as recieving your issues what seems far in advance .... that's just a magazine publishing tradition. If you look at any newstand you'll notice the cover dates often seem far into the future of when the magazine actually appears. I hope I was able to answer your questions and that you're enjoying your subscription. Regards, Amanda Bothe Assistant Editor, FSM

"I" before "E" except after "C"........recieving ? RECEIVING.......!

Sweet,  thanks for the quick reply Amanda

Hey I got a silly question about the magazine.  I just started subscribing back in April so if there's been a previous explanation I've never heard it.

How come it's just now August, but I received the September issue in late July?.  Also, what's up with only 10 issues a year.  I assume August didn't have an issue because I never received one in June . So if August was one month without an issue, which other month doesn't get an issue...December?

 

Either way, I enjoy the magazine a lot.  Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much, the pictures look great!
