January Burda Style was supposed to be available in the UK from 22/12/17. I have it reserved for me at my local WHSmith and when I went to collect it today found that they hadn't had it delivered. I was told that the next one would be available on the 19th January with no explanation as to what had happened to the January edition. I know that this has happened before which is why I decided to get it reserved but as they didn't receive any last month reserving is no help!
Has anyone seen a copy at their local store? Just wondered whether this is a nationwide thing or whether it's just Plymouth. Also, does anyone have it on subscription? I assume that subscribers received their copies, I think I might consider subscribing in future :(

I ordered the January copy in December from Unique magazines and it arrived a few days ago!

I have. Mine is quite a big branch and it carries copies of all the sewing titles, although Burda and Ottobre will number no more than five.

Thanks, I've just ordered a copy from Unique magazines but I'm reluctant to take out a subscription as it's not difficult for me to pop into town to collect the reserved one and that end of town is almost shut up these days, it would be a bit sad if Smiths left too. I'm just a bit annoyed that this isn't the first time it's happened, I can only suppose that if the UK distribution centre is short that Plymouth is bottom of the list to be supplied. I think I might send WHSmith an email about it as it's really not on to ignore pre-paid ordered copies. The daft thing is, I don't really make many items from the magazines, but I do like to look at them and dream...

Passed through my local branch of Smiths' and there was only a single copy of January's Burda style left on the shelf, but as I said before, there is never more than five in store.

Mine usually has Burda but I have to practically fight for Ottobre. Last time I was in there a lady picked up the last copy. Then she put it back down on the rack. I picked it up and she shouted at me saying it was hers! Then she left without buying it anyway?! It's a war!
-
I hardly ever see Ottobre, occasionally the kids one is there but I have only ever seen the adult version once.
-
They only release two (or is it three?) adult issues a year so it's rarely about.
-
Our local WHS didn't have any at all.

One copy left today. Burda style does sell otherwise my local Smiths' wouldn't carry it but once they're gone, that's it.
