Were you swamped with crossword titles yesterday?

I heard from several newsagents yesterday who reported that they received an increase in crossword titles from Gordon & Gotch.  On one case, titles were sent which had been explicitly cancelled by the newsagent some time ago as they did not sell.  All of the titles were from overseas.

Magazine distributors need to understand that newsagents have finite space. Sending new titles without discussion with the newsagent will often lead to the titles not being displayed and wasting newsagent time and money … and not helping the publisher.
