Plus one surprise...
Over 70% of our magazines come from our supplier The News Group who distribute mostly North American titles. People have often asked me "What is your best selling magazine?", so a number of years ago I checked and found that one year #1 was The New Yorker and #2 was People. The following year the numbers were reversed. I love what that says about our customers: we get everyone in here. I think the diversity of our customers is perhaps the most interesting parts of our business. I am not sure how I forgot to get 2008 numbers (see below)! The Surprise best seller though comes in all by itself and it is Frank Magazine. It outsells New Yorker by almost 2 to 1. But then again maybe the local "news" isn't really such a surprise seller!
