Citromania magazine - BX special

Post by KevR »

Just picked up issue 37 of Citromania here in France, and there's a 22 page special on 30 years of the BX - lots of pics I'd not seen before, and this is just part one...

You can flick through it (or buy it, for that matter) here:

Do Citromania do UK subscriptions? I picked up a copy in Switzerland whilst on the challenge.

Nous vous rappelons les délais indicatifs :

This could mean 3 days to 2 months or 4 - 6 weeks ?

A reminder of the delivery times:
2 to 3 days for a magazine or a collection
From 3 days to 2 months for older brochures
4 to 6 weeks for subscriptions

That should be 2-3 days?

Looks like ordering on line is the way to go :) - thanks for the link Chris - the one in the first post will work equally well.

I've tried ordering it via the link in the 1st post and it requires you to be registered, with an email and password. Any way of buying it directly?

I registered Mark - it's not dissimilar from Amazon or any other online retailer, just use a "throwaway" e-mail address if you don't want to put your daily one up there.

I've also asked Chris to get everyone to bring along any other publications with BX content on 22nd so we can all have a good p^He^Hr^Hv^He^H look at the pictures - looks like back copies of Citromania can also be ordered if anyone IDs anything of interest (and same is probably true of other magazines).
