They discontiued CW at borders in northridge, ca

[romanivan]

I live in the San Fernando Valley and found out last night that they discontinued carrying Concrete Wave Magazine at the local Borders. I love going to borders and flipping through the magazine, especially on a hot day. This isn't an excuse for me not subscribing to the magazine, I just enjoy going to borders, sitting down and reading the magazine and purchasing it when I leave. It's more satisfying for me to actually look for the magazine at the store and buying it, than to just subscribe to it. I know, I know, I would save money off the cover price, but like I said, Its more of a ritual for me just to go to the store, hunt it down and find a nice, comfy chair to sit in and look through it.

Well, I don't know about Borders but I know here in Charleston that if you are more than two hours late after they put out CW you won't get one. There are three B&N stores here and all three sell out of CW every issue. I've seen the distributor pull back unsold issues of everything from TRANSWORLD to X-SPORTS FANDANGO & TRADING CARDS but CW is always gone.

If they stop carrying it, then the decision would have to be pure boneheaded management.

but doesn't the store carry much more current issues of TWS compared to CW....

mb, how does the store decide how many copies to stock?

In my area, and in other cities/states I have seen CW in retail stores, I have never seen more than 5-6 copies of the mag on the shelves. Usually its only 1-2 copies.
