For ages now, I have been paying $8.95 Au for my M.R. at the newsagents. The exchange rate at the time was about $1au to .56us. Now it is about $1 to .78us and the cost of the magazine has rocketed up to $10.80! Did the US cover price go up with the new look or something? I started wondering if they have to scan them for weapons on their way out of the US.... I dunno. But it stopped me buying the 70th Anniversary issue. MR's a great mag and probably one of the World's best (70 years is a pretty good guage) ,but I'm not paying $10.80!
As a by-line, I downloaded the December issue of Finescale Railroader. It was a big download.. about 15mb or so.. but I have it and I can print out pictures etc...
My big question is, with the costs of printing etc, why can't the magazines offer an online service?
