Final figures won’t
be out for about two weeks, but this week’s New Single Copy reports
MagNet-supplied preliminary estimates for first half. Estimates show 1H unit
sales about -12%; retail sales about -9.7%. Q2 unit sales about -10%; dollar
sales about -8%. Separately, NSC also reports that the delisting of 891
magazine titles from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) has
actually been going on for several years, and that many of the titles listed
for deletion were actually no longer published. (No direct content links; NSC
