Although subscription information is always printed at the bottom of page two, I get letters from people who want to know how much money they should send to renew their subscriptions when all they would have had to do was refer to this section of the latest issue. That would save me the time of having to answer letters that request information that is regularly published. If for some reason you prefer to send a regular postal letter, please include your e-mail address if you have one, because I will want to answer by this faster, easier way. However, this deadline cannot always be met. Sometimes I may be a few days late getting an issue into the mail, but I don't recall ever being over a week late.
All mailings are sent at nonprofit bulk rates, so delivery is much slower than first class.
If you have not received your copy by the middle of the month in which it was mailed, this is not at all unusual, especially if you live on the east or west coast. If you fail to receive a copy, even though it is the fault of the mail service, I will send you a replacement copy at no cost by first-class mail. However, I would like for you to wait until at least the third and preferably the fourth week of the posting month to inquire about copies that haven't yet been received. I have sometimes sent replacement copies only to learn later that the originals had finally arrived. In March, the test copy that I always send myself took a month to get into my mail box at the same post office where it was mailed.
