Just wondering will the outbreak affect our subscriptions to Scale Auto and FSM?

printing and delivery may well be effected.  all our mail sits now unopened for 2 days, then gets wiped down with alcohol wipes then nuked in microwave then opened with gloves on and envelopes promptly disposed of.

Keep on modeling!

All the best,

William

I emailed Aaron a few days ago, and he said they were in good shape.  I suspected as such, as I know another model magazine based in Wisconsin many years ago did most of the work via telecommunications, and I know Kalmbach is well set up in technology.  And the printing industry in general was one of the leading industries adopting computer operations.

Local mail delivery could be an issue if your local post office is experiencing personnel outage problems too.

I also subscribe to the UK magazine "Model Boats". I got a note from them last week saying that the May issue, which just came out, will be the last for a while. They are putting the magazine on hold for a few months, because their newsstand (W.H.Smith) sales are gone. The publisher also cut the budget for author payments by 2/3.

I'm really hoping they can weather the storm...
