Default Summer Issue of Sport Z Mag....

What a great issue with the turbo systems!!!

If anyone needs to get in touch with me I will be reading it in the bathroom for the next couple of days.

I guess the fall issue will have one of the members of Aerosmith's 350Z in it.

I think most will pass on contacting you in the "library".

I kept on going to Barnes & Noble to see if it was out yet.

I gotta give props to Sport Z Magazine. I received my copy today, and I am constantly amazed at how high their content to advertising ratio is. Some magazines have about 5 pages of actual content, but Sport Z takes a good while to get through all of the content. Great Stuff!!!

Got it two nights ago. The turbo comparo was pretty good, but I wish they had:

1. overlayed the dynos on top of one another (yes, I know you can't directly compare dynos for different cars, but it would still be interesting to see)
2. tested the cars 0-60, 5-60, and 1/4 (yes, I know this isn't an apples to apples, but still interesting)

As usual , another great issue . Great company as well as I needed to change my address for one issue . They remembered perfectly and then I received my next issue at my old address ! Can't do much better than that .Also , for the person waiting 6 months . Give them a call . Something extremely unusual is going on .

zxsaint,

I'm guessing your order came in just past deadline of the SPRING 2005 issue and your SUMMER 2005 issue is probably in the "kitchen" of a happy USPS employee.

We continue to be snubbed by the USPS and despite my letters and phone calls, we suffer through this agony EVERY ISSUE.

To all who have received and gave us "atta boys," you've made our day and we extend our thanks to you and everybody at my350Z.com.

Bob

We put that policy into place sometime in our second year of publishing. We didn't have that issue to deal with early on, but we had high hopes and dreams. When we began to "grow up," the staff and I agreed that we would never make it hard to find our articles. We don't have a formula in our collective heads or anything, we just knew.

We're very close to going to 80 pages and we'll pull the switch at the appropriate time.

Don't get me wrong here, we would love to have the ad revenue of many of the big car mags. With that kind of buckers pouring in, we would go monthy in a heartbeat. But, first things first.

Thank you my350Z.com.
Thank you kcobean.

Bob

Is there a way to find out which Barnes and Noble stock the magazine? I went to my local B&N but they don't carry it, and told me they couldn't look up other stores in the computer for periodicals. I figure while I'm waiting for my subscription to start up, I would try and pick up a copy at one of the 5 gazillion B&N's they've built around here (but I don't want to go to EVERY one of them )

Your best bet is to always call first--they sell out pretty quickly of SZM. Try a store in Pittsburgh, Wilkes Barre, Lancaster, or State College. I believe a few (not all) B&Ns in those areas carry SZM. Good luck. Enjoy the issue.

We are just starting (about 1 1/2 years) to take baby steps in the "national distribution" business. Starting slowly with plans of joining the big boys on bookshelves everywhere.

We really don't have a list of stores and their locations, but one day -- We will. We should be provided with that official directory, but like the USPS, we're at the mercy of these "service providers" with no governing power. BTW, in any given city, you may have one B&N that carries SZM and two miles away, zippo. Don't ask!

My current distributor has no accountability and never provides data that would allow me to evaluate trends. We're over a barrel with few ways out. We absolutely need to be on bookshelves, but it is difficult to find a HONEST AND CAPABLE national distributor who has any interest in so-called small publications.

If any of you out there in Z land knows of a HONEST AND CAPABLE national distributor, please let me know.

Bob
