We often get sample issues. However, sometimes the issues are the result of a title change or merger of which we were uninformed. We also sometimes get substitutions if a title has gone under. For that reason, I usually hang on to them for a month or two.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what you do when you receive a random magazine in the mail. We recently received a copy of Print magazine, a graphic design publication, that we don’t subscribe to. I have no clue where it came from.

Do you typically hold on to these types of things, pass them on to interested parties, or toss them?

Thanks so much!

Jaime Hammond
