Did we miss this?

I saw the Magicalia name a couple of days ago when looking at the Encanta site and didn't cotton on the significance of the name change.

Charles, thanks I had certainly missed this one. I found your link interesting and at the same time rather concerning. If the management babble in the last two paragraphs is anything to go by I'm not sure I will understand what the magazine is trying to tell me in future. Also, the thought of having three joint Managing Directors fills me with trepidation, or rather it would if I had any money invested in the undertaking which I'm glad to say I don't.

Still, after the recent history one can only hope that things will now improve with the magazines being put on a solid business foundation. Whilst in my opinion they are still somewhat short of the excellent standard that they achieved a few years ago (maybe my age?) their loss would have been a great shame. Best of luck to "magicalia" or whatever they are to be called.

Best regards

Good spot. I suspect that someone's made a killing in buying the portfolio from Nexus/Highbury and flogging it on.

Interestingly they seem as into online publishing as offline - which is a much needed improvement.

Charles

You suspect right!

The last time I came across Nexus the name was given as: "Lexus, Nexus, Butterworth and Tolley" which I always thought sounded more like a witches spell than a publisher! Keith

Keith,

I think you will find the publisher you are thinking of is LexisNexis. This is the legal publishing division of Reed Elsevier, who took over Butterworths and Tolleys. They also owned Lexis Law Publishing in the US, and appear to have re-branded to LexisNexis in many parts of the world (but not everywhere).

As you say, it does sound like a spell.

Probably more than you (or the other readers) wanted to know though!
