Thanks larabelle. Our local library puts the new month into circulation immediately. Everywhere else we've lived they had to be read at the library until the new edition. Bother!
Oh how odd - I'm actually studying to be a librarian and I promise NOT to do that with my new magazines. Reading new magazines is what I love about libraries - a luxury I couldn't possibly afford!
By the way. according to the mag, the comp does not close until January 31 not 21st so someone might like to change this! (Obviously mailing time needs to be taken into account).
