Back in the late 90's I was the editor at Corvette Fever. Our circulation was over 100,000. The magazine was making huge amounts of money. It was so rich I think we got sold 3 times in one year. It was crazy.
The suits sat me down one day and explained that they wanted to take the magazine in a new direction. I was shown the door.
The suits are still there and Corvette Fever is gone. I never really understood that that the "new direction" was to kill the magazine.
btw - I'm having a great time over at Vintage Motorsport magazine these days.

We still subscribe to Vette and Corvette Magazine but have to say that the magazine we most look forward to receiving is Vintage Motorsports. The quality of the articles, photography and coverage of the vintage racing events is top notch.

Paul Z. passed away last year.
D. Randy and I are back together at Vintage Motorsport magazine. We're one of the few magazines that's gaining in both circulation and ad revenue. The issues have been running 160+ pages.
There are some good things happening in the print business.

I don't get into the sales stuff very much but I know everyone seems happy with our distributor. We're in all the Barnes and Noble stores. At least the ones that are left.
The IPad sales are growing slowly - but consistently.
Everyone at Vintage Motorsport magazine believes we have to give the read a quality product. That means good paper, a thick cover, great photography and of course good writing. If you want to succeed in today's market you have to do it all.
The true test is what you do with the magazine when in arrives in your mailbox. Is it an event? Or, does it get thrown in a pile on the dining room table.
