  1. on a related note,

    I know that everymonth, people come and restock newstands. When there are issues left over from the previous month for some magazines, I beleive the stockers take those issues back. Where are they taking these issues? sending them back to the publishers? there must have been so many gaming magazines that were taken back, I would love to get my hands on them. The reason I think they do this is because I recall there being several times when it was the end of the month and there was a stack of gamepros sitting on the shelf and then the next week, those issues were gone and a stack of the newest issue was sitting in their place. I doubt the stack suddenly sold out right at the last week, the stockers must be taking them away.

    Also, if its true that the publishers keep digital backups, what do you guys think it would take to convince them to sell them or distribute copies? This website would really benefit from such backups, there are so many missing issues in the archive. Its not like the publishers are ever going to use them to print out back issues and sell them.

    they "pulp" them.

    the covers are ripped off and returned to the publisher for credit, but the rest of the mag is recycled.

    it broke my heart a few years back when i worked at a place that sold books/magazines/etc. Every month, i'd have to pulp all the unsold comic books and music mags.

  2. i see that this is a very old topic that has already been revived once, but it fits what i'm asking and doesn't seem completely answered.

    I've been trying to find the Super Mario Bros. 2 "Inside Out" tip book published as part of Nintendo Powers #7 and 8 but haven't been able to locate it. Does anyone have it scanned yet, and if so, how can i get a hold of it?

    this obviously refers to other "mini strategy guides" too, like the Dragon Warrior one mentioned above.
