Indeed.  And what kind of weasel talk is "qualified subscribers . . .who meet certain demographics requirements"? My translation, frankly, is we'll send those who whomever we please & the rest of you can go climb a rope.

But then again I've been in this job for almost 15 years and have developed a pretty thick skin of skepticism.

BTW, I also was told they were not included, but then received no. 6 and was told no. 3 was out of print.

I've found they are not very consistent with this policy. After claiming
v.97 nos.3 and 6 our vendor reported that no.3, Product guide Winter
2008, was not included but went ahead and claimed no.6. We received
no.6, Product guide Spring 2008, a couple of days ago.

Good Evening,

Thank you for your interest in our publication, Architect.

Unfortunately, Vol 97 issues 3 & 6 is not included in the subscription.

Architect is published 16 times per year for 2008.  There are 4 special
issues that are published mid-monthly which are not included in the
subscription.  The mid-month issues are sent only to our "qualified
subscribers - those who meet certain demographics requirements.

For postal purposes, we have to include all issues in our statement of
frequency, and number issues accordingly.  We realize this will create
some confusion for subscribers who track by issue number.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our
Customer Service Department at 847/291-5221.

Thank you,

Customer Service
150247
