Today in the post I recieved the November AND the October issue of Astronomy Now. The October issue is a little dated at this stage, and the September issue was about 3 weeks late also.
I rang the distributor today and they told me it wasnt their fault since they dont handle sending out subscrptions, and gave me the number of the folks responsible for the subscription deliveries. So I rang them.
Apparently they have been having trouble with the subscription agency (again) and have now gone back to sending it out via Royal Mail. They apologised for the late deliveries and hope that it wont be repeated again. However I was on the phone to them complaining last April also so I'm not convinced the December issue will get here this year!
Cheers,

I had the same trouble, so I just cancelled the subscription. Newsagents get the mag three weeks before subscribers, so why bother subscribing?
At the other extreme, the December issue of S&T will probably arrive this week.
