And this brings up a question about whether or not our printer/mailer is doing a good job for us. I know using People as an example is comparing one of the giants in the magazine publishing industry, however, when it comes to mail service there should not be any differences. Example 1 Peter Jennings death was announced Monday morning Aug. 8. Dana Reeves battle with lung cancer was announced Tues. Aug. 9. On Fri. Aug. 12, my People magazine was delivered with Jennings photo on the cover and coverage of both events. Example 2 Madonna's riding accident and subsequent broken bones were announced on Monday Aug. 15. People magazine was delivered on Friday Aug. 19 with a full page story on same. I realize the editorial staff for People is much larger than the Review, but the fact that the printer and US mail was able to get the magazines into my mailbox the same WEEK these events occurred makes me wonder why there is such a lag time between the printing and our receipt of the Review. One assumes all copies of the Review are printed in one run and then placed in plastic envelope, given address labels and mailed at the same time. Why then would it take as much as 3 weeks or more for different parts of the country to receive the magazine. Not taking any shots at Gail and the work she does, but maybe we need another printer/mailer?
