I would love to be able to do that.
The bookstore we have here...IF you can call it a book store...sells pretty much nothing. Magazines are mainly the wedding ones, mens, house beautification...no craft magazines whatsoever.
Our exchange sells ONE quilt magazine. They get 10 copies in. If you aren't there the minute it comes on the shelf, you are pretty much out of luck. There used to be 3 quilt magazines, but they downsized the "womens section" and added more cars/mens magazines.
I have asked if they could order more than 10 copies AND more quilting mags, but was told they have no space for it. Right now, anything that has to do with crafts, has 2 shelves...3 feet wide. That's it. Sucks!
