While Vintage Caravan magazine is no longer being distributed by gordon and Gotch, it is alive and well and available to be socked by newsagents – for a better margin. here’s a letter to newsagents from the publisher.
Dear valued Vintage Caravan Magazine stockist,
It has been brought to our attention that Gordon & Gotch have been wrongly informing some of you that Vintage Caravan Magazine is “no longer in production” and that this incorrect information has also been being passed on to our customers.
The truth is that we have ample evidence of Gotch’s wrongdoings with regards to the distribution of Vintage Caravan Magazine and when we attempted to pull them up on this they reacted by ending our distribution agreement.
As a consequence of this we have made the decision to switch to IPS for distribution from the next issue and hope that this resolves some of the supply and remittance problems we have experienced with Gotch over the past two years.
Vintage Caravan Magazine is getting bigger and stronger than ever and has a growing and loyal readership and we will be increasing the magazine by an additional 8 pages from the next issue on.
We have also just been accepted by the distributors for America’s biggest book seller Barnes & Noble so no, we are not going away anytime soon!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to quash these malicious rumours on the head so that I don’t keep getting emails from my panicking customers who have been made to believe that their beloved magazine is no longer available.
If any of you have any documentation to indicate where this unethical misinformation is coming from I would appreciate it if you would send me a copy as this is grounds for legal action against Gotch and highly defamatory to my business.
I hope that you will continue to stock Vintage Caravan Magazine and place your orders now through IPS.
If you would like us to include you on our online stockist list please email me direct with your address so we can add you to the list.Kind regards,
Lisa

Glad to hear that Lisa. We have a new magazine – Vintage Made – so we will try placemant of your magazine with this one in our craft section.
The last issue we received from G&G was no. 13. Will order from IPS today
IPS just informed me they don’t distribute this title…. Maybe wait a week or two.
IPS have the very next issue, which will come out in August
I was sent the same reply but try again May, it’s on their website when you search the title. I’m going to email them the screen print showing it when I get off the counter.
From IPS at 4:24pm
“Hello Brendan
It seems we now have Vintage Caravan on the IPS publication list – an order will be processed.”
Congratulations on a wise move Lisa, we have faith in IPS and I hope they serve you well. We have to fight the good fight for home-grown successful product. You get a full-face from me as often as possible. I will make sure we don’t miss an issue – love your covers btw, keep it up
