Well mine arrived in sometimes-sunny Sussex this morning with Voie Libre. Hopefully yours will be with you soon.
 

Just had record timings for first arrivals in Canada and USA!

Thanks Geoff. I've also heard it's got to NZ. That's?9 days to get to both Oz (14 last time) and NZ (same as last time).

Best times ever, and hopefully usual from now on - but we are very much in the hands of the postal services.

We have had reports that it has started landing on UK doormats. Hopefully it will be as quick as last time to get around the world, but as you will see from previous posts we are very much in the hand of the postal services.

Just arrived in Sweden! Best regards George!?

Impressive that it should arrive in Sweden before the East Midlands!

Sorry to rub it in Andrew, but I've heard it's got to Berlin too! I'm sure it will arrive soon.

And rub some more - it’s also arrived in the /West/ Midlands (well, Shropshire) ;-)

Cheers

Why not just have it sent directly to the US via subscription rather than through a UK bookseller??

Dave,


Several decades of book purchases from this U.K. dealer, and I just had him add "Review" to my standing order for "MRJ", as that was an easier transaction than subscription back in the "bad old days" before PayPal and such! ?At this point, the dealer is "an old friend", who has tracked down any number of "out of print" railway titles for me -- one of the "nice people" we get to meet through the hobby, so I was disinclined to switch to subscription, after years of good service.

Ah, I see. I just think the middle man might slow down your receipt. But no reason to rock the boat if you’re happy.

At age 77, my definition of "real time" is somewhat "skewed" anyway, and I know that each issue of "Review" and "MRJ' will be a "treat" at whatever time I receive them, so, it "works for me".

Ah, I only said something because you originally mentioned the non-delivery delay as being a shared pain so it seemed a faster alternative might be offered.

Why,
don’t you fella’s change over to having this mag sent out as a PDF. file, that way it is almost instant all over the world, much more environmentally compatible and for those that like to have a paper copy they can simply print it out for themselves.
In addition to that it could be at the end of each 12 month period a PDF. is done containing all of the previous 12 months which gives you the option then of being able to do a search to find a article, instead of flicking through countless mags trying to find the article you are looking for.

No way Brian - not for me at least.? I have every copy since No.1 and browsing through them is one of the innocent joys of life.
It's the same argument that I, and millions of others, would use against the suggestion that we should all switch to e-books rather than 'real' books.? The electronic substitute may be a sometimes convenient alternative but does not compare to the pleasure of handling the genuine physical article.

Dear Friends:

I completely agree with our brother Noel.
