If you have been following our Twitter updates, you may have noticed that we have been getting in a number of magazines. There aren’t a lot of distributors for magazines, and particularly the sorts of fine-art magazines we’re trying to carry. Today we learned that one of them, Ubiquity Distributors, won’t even deal with us because we won’t be bringing in enough titles that they carry. So here we are, a small, independent art supplies store who can only get Ingram Periodicals, pretty much the biggest magazine distributor, to let us buy magazines.

Unfortunately, Ingram doesn’t carry every magazine we wanted to carry, so we’re having to get in touch with some of those magazines to either get them directly, or encourage them to let Ingram carry them.
