    I dont think I will be renewing my subscription, its a good book but this crap sucks!
    I got the 10~12 week delivery email today, so I get a issue I've paid for by subscription and it arrives 3 nearly 4 months late and they got the gaul to send constant emails about renewing subscriptions!

    Sure I'd rather have had the magazine on time.

    Sure it's not my problem.

    But does "this crap" suck? I don't think so. I still don't think it's worth getting all hot and bothered about!

    I subscribe and have done since moving away from a library system that carried the magazine nearly six years ago. I pay 25 - 30% if the price at a newsagent. In the time I've subscribed, two magazines have gone missing. One was sent by airmail, the other presumably by surface mail.

    I choose not to pay for airmail delivery in my subscription rate. Yes, it would have been a great customer service gesture to have had the issue replaced via airmail, but "suck"?

    If you apply the same high standard to everything you buy Harry, you'll be saving a lot of money shortly. Specially if you shop locally!

    I enjoy reading the thing of course, but I do have a few back issues and a CD to keep me entertained if I get desperate before it arrives.

    I had an edition of an Australian (not Woodwork) magazine go missing a few years ago, and it took several phone calls to get a replacement. In the end I had to purchase it as a back-issue, then have the cost credited against my subscription. That sucked, but I still subscribe to that Mag too!

    Cheers,

    P

    High standard... wahhhhts that!
    What I mean by suck, they send me an email after nearly 2 mths of me asking where is my copy... they say another 10~12 weeks. I've had subscriptions to other mags and not one is no where near as bad as Tauton for delivery times.(they were yanky car audio books)
    Im not saying the book sucks, although a little more content wouldnt go astray

    Thumbs up

    ITS HERE!

    I got back from Sydney today and there it was in the letter box, direct from the Dominican Republic to moi.

    The wrapper is in the same condition as most road kill. I suspect it came overland by rickshaw.

    #186, baby you're home!

    I received #187. They said that they would send out another #185, which hasn't arrived. No 186. Is it any good fellas?

    Still haven't got #186. I've pretty much given up on it.

    Actually, I'n not sure that I'll renew my FWW sub next year.

    The magazine is getting a tad repetetive if you ask me.

    I mean, how many times do you need to read an article on cutting dovetails?

    It's a problem with all magazines. The issue seems to be "how many things are there to talk about?"

    I tend subscribe to any magazine for three years, after which time all of the reporting on a particular subject is pretty much done! For some reason after six years of FWW, (and many more borrowing it from the library) I still find something out of each issue, and that's my test...

    If there's nothing to learn two issues in a row... no more magazine!

    The exception for me has been computing, where the articles are always two years ahead of my understanding I tend to have to subscribe, then file the current magazine for two years before reading it!

    Cheerss,

    P
