PA #92 is all shipped

Protoculture Addicts #92 has now been shipped or mailed to all subscribers, distributors and stores so it should be on your doorsteps or in your local stores (if it is not already there, it should arrive pretty soon). The shipping was delayed by a string of holidays, long week-ends and technical problems at the printer, but copies for distributors shipped two weeks ago and subscription copies were mailed last week. Also all orders (back issues, single copies of #92, books) received since June 2nd were shipped by First Class mail on Friday (7/20/07).

I've seen #92 at the Multimag near metro Concordia in downtown Montreal, which means that it is definitely in stores in Canada -- and it should also be the case very soon in the U.S. Look for it in most comic book stores and in a selection of bookstores (like Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc., for the USA and Chapters, Indigo, etc., for Canada).

Remember: regular subscription are sent by surface mail (save if you have a first class or air mail subsciption), so subscribers should expect to receive their copies within 1 to 2 weeks in Canada, 2 to 4 weeks in USA (within a week for First Class subscribers) and 3 to 6 weeks overseas (1 to 2 weeks for Air Mail subscribers). Please don't email us to inquire about the status of your order until this shipping period has passed. Check this blog entry for details.

Finally, you can let us know if you see PA#92 in your local store, how long it took for your subscription copy to arrive or what you think of this issue, by e-mail or in the forum!

Enjoy!
