TFH going to bi-monthly subscriptions

Post by mewickham »

Tropical Fish Hobbyist just announced that it is going to bimonthly publication. Instead of 12 issues per year, there will be six. Existing subscribers will still get the remaining number of issues, but on a bimonthly basis. So, if you have five issues left on your subscription, you will get them over ten months instead of five. The yearly subscription rate remains at $28, which effectively doubles the price per issue. There was no mention of whether or not issues will be larger to compensate. I would guess not.

This is probably not a good omen for the magazine or the hobby, in my opinion.
