Laura,
I live in Portland, OR. More precisely, in Beaverton. Can you tell me what
stores in Vancouver carry the below mags (an obvious place like a Fred Meyer on
whatever street)? The extent of my foreign languages is two years high school
Spanish so English versions are what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
Toby Erkson

The availability of magazines tends to be a vicious circle: people
don't ask for them, stores don't carry them, so people don't know
about them and don't ask for them.
Here in Vancouver we can get VW Motoring, Volksworld (both U.K.) and
Super VW (France) at all decent magazine stores. I subscribe to Super
VW, which costs about the same as buying it over the counter (FF475
last year), but it comes by airmail, so I get it a month before the
stores do. It's also great fun at the bank getting bank drafts in
French Francs - they *always* have to look up how to do it. :-)
I have a few issues of VW Scene International that I've bought on
trips to Germany. I also have a special French issue they did a while
back. I can't get VW Scene International locally, but can (and
sometimes do) buy Gute Fahrt and Auto, Motor und Sport. My German is
just short of causing an international incident, but I work with
customers in France and Quebec. Besides, German companies rarely take
credit cards. :-(
If you want the magazines, demand them. If your local supplier can't
or won't get them for you, why not check the soc.culture.whatever FAQs
for magazine stores that might be able to help you?
