A couple of months ago I decided to subscribe to Practical Photography. Partly because I was buying it every month anyway and it was quite late getting into the shops and partly because whenever I go to the book store, I spend too much anyway. Another reason was the nice crumpler bag they were offering. I did my sums, and the subscription price for 13 issues was fractionally dearer than the cover price in Canada. I thought, well, there's a nice bag included in the price, so it's just about worth it. Rang up the subscriptions department, quoting the ref number they give in the mag. Subscriptions dept quoted me a dearer price for 12 issues and said they didn't send the gifts outside of the UK - even though there is NO mention of this in the mag. (I know this is quite common, not sending subscription gifts outside of the UK but it is usually declared in the small print)
Upshot is, they lost a subscriber. Wendy At 14:32 22-10-2001 -0400, you wrote: >Subject: Re: photographic magazine..... > >Hi Nagaraj, > >I can only vouch for Amateur Photgrapher.
