@Janneke:

Can you also get a free sample if you're not a US citizen?

Email Lisa using the address in her post and ask - I know they have foreign subscribers.

That was a different magazine - not The Basenji. The Basenji has been in business since 1964 (different owners over time, of course) and if you pay for an ad or a subscription, you will get it.

We will send sample copies overseas - same rules as everyone else - one per customer.

We also send samples to breeders' puppy people (or rescue's adoptors) if they provide us with the name and address, or we can send them directly to the breeder for them to hand out.

I subscribe to this magazine. It's great to see what is happening on the other side of the pond.x

I subscribed and received my first issue within about 6 weeks. There are some good articles in the magazine, but IMO I find it to be a little bit heavy on the advertising. Saying that, I do understand that advertising is what pays for the publication. I just wish there was a better balance.

I know they would consider articles is you wanted to submit or even recommend a topic

Hi Fran -

It's about half ads and about half articles and has been that way for many, many years (I think we're at 46 years and counting.)

A lot of our subscribers and advertisers know each other - when I was a subscriber and not the editor, I wanted to see the ads as much as the articles, in most cases.

So for most (obviously not all) of our subscribers it seems to be a balance that they're pretty happy with. It's also the balance that has let us keep the rates flat (even down a little for international) in a bad economy.

FWIW.

just noticed this thread - sounds really good - have sent an email to Lisa asking for a sample copy.

Just a reminder - I've received a few emails recently asking for samples - if you want a sample of the Sep/Oct 2010 issue, just email your name and mailing address to lisa@thebasenji.com

Thanks!
