I was carrying my black papermag and a fellow melb fan acosted me in the street. i didn't know you have such a following! Yes the shelves were a tad bare but nevertheless very impressed. I'm so excited by your concept and look forward to popping in again. I'm not familiar with magnation but look forward to exploring new titles esp in fashion and design. eg. lula. Great location as Arial's mag area in their Paddington store has sadly diminished. And a trip to darlo newsagent on oxford st is such a headache. Look forward to investigating upstairs when I get some time. Thankx Ritz Hi Guys,

Problem is that if we don't sell those magazines, we have to return them, but it is a real admin challenge to collate returns across two stores in two cities. Admin nightmare. Still, we are taking the cost hit and also the freight charges for sending it up because there is no way I am going to let the store open without at least a decent range. Even then, it still won't be ideal. At least we know that heaps more stock will filter through over the coming weeks. That is exactly what we are now doing.
