The reason for this is that the date tells the retailer when that issue is to be taken *off* sale. Of course, some magazines let this advance dating get out of hand -- comics for instance are dated 4(!) months in advance. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
