Sex slave book from Gotch

sex-slave.JPGGordon and Gotch sent out this book, Sex Slave, to some newsagents with their magazines.  I bet magazine publishers would not be happy with it being treated like a magazine.  Newsagents are certainly not happy – a book at magazine margin, an odd size for newsagency fixturing and delivered late in the month putting newsagents out of pocket for at least a month.

While I am no lawyer, I consider the supply of books to newsagents without giving us the opportunity to say no is an abuse of the magazine distribution model.

I didn’t receive this title so I cannot protest.  If I did, I would certainly protest to Gotch and use any other low cost regulatory avenue available.
