Things Placed in Front Of The Magazine Rack: Part 4 of...

For those of you who are paying attention, the correct title for this post should actually be "Things Placed in the Book A Zine Pocket". But let's not quibble.

This submission is from Mark White, the head of Specialty Marketing at US News and World Report.

Don't forget to keep sending in your photos of "Things Placed in Front of The Magazine Rack." And while you're at it, please follow this link to printbuyersinternational.com and check out the recap of Mark's presentation at the Publishing Business Conference and Expo in New York last month where he discussed how US News broke the "11 Unwritten Rules" of Book A Zine publishing. It's well worth the side trip.

Who knew our industry was so big on oral tradition?
