If you're not already a subscriber, you may want to hold off on ordering a
copy. In about 3-4 weeks I'll have the new issue in stock and on my website,
for less than the lowest available U.S. price, as I am importing them in
bulk from the UK where they are printed.   (Even if you ordered a copy
directly from them today, you wouldn't see it for about that long anyway,
since they mail them via slow surface mail.)

The cost savings will be lost if you order nothing but the magazine, as the
shipping cost will probably exceed the savings.  But on the other hand if
you add it onto your next parts order (even a few oil filters or whatever),
the incremental additional shipping cost for the magazine is next to
nothing, so you'll come out ahead.  (And if your total exceeds $50 the
listmember discount will kick in as well, on the magazine as well as on the
other parts.)  Besides, there will be other new items arriving on the same
container that you may want to order anyway. ;-)  I ordered 200 copies of
the issue, so there should be enough to go around.

My hope is to continue to carry the magazine on an ongoing basis, if
possible, as it comes out once a quarter, and I get a shipment from Europe
about that often. So hopefully if the schedules line up I can just get a few
cases of the latest issue thrown onto each containerload I import.
