Yes, we got the notice yesterday, too.   Scientific American now belongs to the Nature Publishing Group.  Anybody think this might be part of the reason?

Subject: [SERIALST] Publisher price increase!!!!

Hello,

We just received a notice from our subscription agent that Scientific
American was raising their print subscription price for 2010 from $41.91
(which includes the agent's service charge) to $299.00  Has anyone else
received this outrageous increase notice?

We are in the process of contacting the publisher to find out what might
be the cause of this dramatic price rise.

Stephen
