Click on the image the see the screen shot showing the data Bauer has relied on to set our supply of Zoo Weekly. Look particularly at issues 28 through 33. Without justification our supply was increased.
While it’s only an extra copy, Bauer is hard on newsagents who are only a day late paying their bill.
