August strong for magazines

We had a good August for magazines compared to last year, especially for womens weeklies – unit sales declined just 23 copies off a considerable base.  Given the volatility in sales of the weeklies this past year, a decline of 23 units for the month on a year-on-year comparison is good.  Gifts, books, stationery and ink also recorded solid growth.  The surprise of the month is the 262 calendars we sold – all at full price (yep, no discounting here) and all with an excellent margin.
