The Art of Knitting partwork is still strong many weeks in. It is by far the most successful partwork I have seen this year.

We are fortunate to not have the supply issues of others and so our view of the title benefits from the protection of good supply - but this goes to show what a good title can achieve if challenges in the partworks supply chain - from UK publisher through - are addressed.

Newsagents want what publishers and distributors want - to sell more magazines. The current model which cuts supply to lower than presold quantities works against all stakeholders. While I understand significant moves are being made to address supply issues, these cannot happen soon enough.
