NTUSA Doubles Print Run

The Prophet?s top-secret spies have intercepted another press missive from Newtype USA:

NEWTYPE USA DOUBLES PRINT RUN FOR ISSUE TWO

ISSUE ONE (NOVEMBER 2002) VIRTUALLY SOLD-OUT ON FIRST DAY OF MONTH

HOUSTON November 1 2002-With the entire 30000-unit print run of Newtype USA Issue One shipped to subscribers and stores and continuing retail demand for the magazine far outstripping aggregate availability Newtype USA is doubling the print run for Issue Two to a total of 60000 copies.

?We?ve been very pleasantly surprised with the response? said Newtype USA Executive Editor Bruce Haring. ?We expected demand to grow steadily through the distribution of the first few issues as readers realized the quality of the content we were offering. Instead we?ve been having to turn away retailers who want to order more and we?ve got readers networking on-line to track down the last available copies of Issue One.?

National retailers carrying the magazine include Suncoast Sam Goody Barnes & Noble Borders Media Play Waldenbooks Fry?s Tower Records and Gordon & Gotch Canada (Chapters/Coles Books). Independent bookstores comic stores and specialty shops across North America are also carrying the magazine. Subscriptions are available through www.newtype-usa.com; single issues may also be purchased through the same site. Please note that due to subscription processing time new subscriptions will not begin for four to six weeks.
