Only 9,000 sales out of a print run of 130,000. Ouch.

launching a new magazine now is madness. i've not even heard of the publishers Brooklands, http://www.brooklandsgroup.com/magazines/index.html

i bet it was an ENORMOUS punt along the line from someone with the cash who just really likes the show! a year plus a million quid - i've heard worse magazine failure stories. but not many. and there ARE loads.

The B2B mag sector is reportedly doing really well!
