"...we just heard today that with the world situation being what it is, paper prices have risen again, and from April we have to find another £12,000 a year at least to print our magazines... it is looking increasingly like we will have to raise the cover prices on both mags to £4.50 and also put up subscription prices. Our printers say that many small publishers will be wiped out by this, and I absolutely hate having to increase prices when everyone is suffering anyway. We definitely don't want to decrease the quality of our titles though, and hopefully you will all stick with us during these very trying times. I'll be posting the new mags for pre-order this Friday, still at £4.25 each!"

Saw Allan Bryce post this earlier. I'm sure most people won't complain at an extra 25p for them given the situation.
