Just got my copy of The Sports Forecaster in the mail from Amazon this morning, however a little cautionary tale for those of you thinking of doing the same - I was going on a road trip this weekend, so I decided for the first time to order The Forecaster from Amazon. At $9.99 plus $5 for shipping that's not too bad, but I didn't know if that would get it here in time for my road trip so as an experiment I decided to shill out for expedited shipping (Canada Post, I'm in Edmonton they ship from Toronto). Expedited shipping is $15 instead of $5, a not insignificant amount. I ordered it on Tuesday, got a confirmation email from Amazon that it had shipped on Wednesday, and it did not show up until today. If I'm spending $15 to "expedite" something, I expect it at most two days later, not the following week. Yeah maybe I'm grumbling a little because I didn't have it to read for six hours in the car, but that's a pretty pricey freight charge for a mag if it doesn't come sooner than that. I highly recommend that you do not bother with the expedited shipping if you are going to order it from Amazon.
Other than that, I haven't seen any other mags here - I'm a bit of a pool fiend so I usually buy them all, but oddly enough I haven't even seen The Hockey News Pool Guide yet and they usually rush that one out by now.
I've also bought McKeens for a couple of years now, as I appreciate pool guides that give write-ups for individual players, and I have access to a printer where I can print out the mag. I really wish they would print that for newstands though.
