Texas Monthly (Dec. 2007) Vancouver magazine (March 2008)

Anonymous said...: Now what are are you doing reading Texas Monthly?!

I guess they were expecting that none of their 248,000 readers are familiar with that fabulous southern regional magazine.

I suspect that Vancouverites may be partial to Sushi, so I'm guessing it flopped like a dead tuna.

Yep, CCAB shows 4,500 sold, but that appears to be an agressive estimate, given the timing of the statement. Probably sold 3,400 or so if they were lucky is my guess.

I hope it hasn't been entered in any awards, unless it for the Shameless Rip Off Category, or the Copying is a Form of Flattery Awards.; 12:16 pm
