Amiga Magazines

@Starke

Now I just bought two recently from the company

We are not a company, we make no profit, we are just a bunch of Amiga users in Essex, UK that belong to SEAL and are mad enough to take on this task of filling in the gap of no English speaking Amiga printed magazines in the world!

In general Amiga Mags are alive and well in:
UK, Germany, Usa, Italy
the other countries, only have one mag usually left in their country:
Czech, Japan, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Sweden.
One country hangin on:
Australia, the Amiga gazeete
And the others that had it, dead:
Canada, Norway, Spain(dead 4 now)

We have a distributor that operates in Canada so that people in North America (USA, Canada etc.) can get the magazine and at a reasonable price due to lower postal costs compared to us sending them over from the UK!

Also we have another team in Poland that translates the English version and distributes there for us.

@Starke

I happily oblige in this instance, as it is only one website I need to give.

http://www.magazines.ch/

Apart from the fact that it doesn't even mention Total Amiga which is the ONLY printed English Amiga magazine!

@Starke

You saying you work For TOTAL AMIGA magazine??

Yes, I am one of the main contributors, also the treasurer and indeed the whole idea of producing the magazine was my idea, all put together and implemented by my good friend and editor of the magazine Robert aka Rhino.

If so, then why that particular price was chosen for selling the magazine??

Because that is what covers the cost of printing a low production run (600 copies) complete with postage! We were also advised to put a little bit on the price so that we could sell to re-sellers at a discount so that they had a small mark up when selling the magazines to their customers.

At the end of the day we make no profit, nobody gets paid anything whatsoever, it's the cheapest we could produce the magazine!

@JimS

I'd like to make them available, but for that copyright... someone must still own them, and starting to sell them would be the quickest way to find them... and their lawyers.

You can bet your bottom doller that if you published them they would all appear out of the woodwork with lawyers in tow!

@dolescent

Which 8?

Same thing entered my mind, there is our very own Total Amiga which is English and distributed throughout the world (21 countries), Amiga Future (Germany), Bitplane (Italy) and I believe a French magazine (sorry can't remember it's name), can't think of any others but not saying they don't exist just don't know of them personally!
