Preliminary H1 Newsstand Sales

http://ipdahome.org/newsstand/?cat=296
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.
