Q: Where can I find a copy of Fingerstyle Guitar?
A: Although we can’t say exactly which stores carry it, Fingerstyle Guitar is carried by many of the national chains including Barnes & Noble, Borderbooks, Walden Books, Books-A-Million and Tower Records. Many independent music stores also carry it. But since each store, even the national book chains, select their own inventory, it’s best to check with them first to ensure they carry it.
Q: Does every issue of Fingerstyle Guitar include a CD?
A: Yes. Since its inception in 1993, companion audio has always been included, first on cassette, then on CD. All back issues now include CDs, cassettes have been discontinued.
Q: Why do I sometimes see the new issue on the newsstand before it reaches my mailbox?
A: All copies are shipped from our printer at the same time, but since the subscriber copies are mailed 3rd class, and depending on your location (the east and west coasts are the last to receive copies), the stores can receive their copies first because they are sent via UPS ground.
