Title: bookstores in Glasgow suck. Post by: boldie on July 04, 2007, 07:58:40 PM Tried to get my hands on the inside poker mag today..nowhere to be found.
WH Smith at Central station stopped selling pokerplayer magazine.....or any other poker mag for that matter I went to the WH smith on Argyle street (the biggest WH smith in this damm city), rang them first because it's a pain to get there after work.."Yeah we sell that" was their reply when I asked if they sold inside poker. No they don't...they sell "Flush" magazine..(Presumably because it looks like a lads mag this month) and WPT mag and one other one I'd never heard of but looks like something you wouldn't even pick up at your local casino. Borders was pretty much the same..though they do still sell pokerplayer magazine. RSMcoll..well in city centre the lady just gave me a blank look when I asked for something different from what she usually sells (From the look of the store it was either Hello!, OK! or porn...and buckfast and cigarettes. not happy....

Definately going to have to subscribe now! Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck. Post by: boldie on July 04, 2007, 08:26:18 PM Why not get a subscription? that's what I'll have to do...I always used to get pokerplayer mag..never read inside poker but some people said it was good so I thought I'd give it a crack...don't like taking out a subscription on a mag I've never read before.

Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck. Post by: Jon MW on July 04, 2007, 08:28:02 PM They probably do stock it, but they've run out.
Most poker magazines won't sell much in the 'high street' so most shops who do stock them won't order many copies, 'Inside Poker' is one of the more popular magazines - so the ones they do stock will run out. Its been too long since the last issue, that's why you won't find it anywhere - the next one comes out in the shops on the 12th. EDIT: Although saying that, none of the poker magazines get that high circulation - e.g. Poker Player sells around 10k copies a month, Cross Stitcher magazine sells around 65k - so it wouldn't be that surprising if many shops just stopped stocking them altogether.

I thought it was just in the hills of wales we had problems getting anything poker related, obviously not! Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck.

That offer is for Poker Player. thought so, just signed up for it, but trying to find a cheaper one than £9.99 for inside poker. Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck. Post by: Sark79 on July 04, 2007, 09:11:07 PM I am sure I got it from WH Smith once before mate. Not the Argyle Street WH Smith though, the one on Sauchiehall Street I think it is Sauchiehall Street, I never use names of Streets. I use landmarks. Even now walking round Killie I probably know about three street names and use landmarks to navigate around.

Post by: boldie on July 04, 2007, 10:52:27 PM Glasgow has bookshops?? wtf well..when I say bookshops I of course mean they mainly sell gossip magazines and colouring books... it's what the locals want (and are able to comprehend ;) Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck.

Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck. Post by: lazaroonie on July 04, 2007, 11:26:40 PM Glasgow has bookshops?? wtf Glasgow has no decent bookshops left anymore. The last was John Smiths on St Vincent Street, which became so horrible orrange internet cafe. Even all the second hand bookshops have gone. I guess the same is said of most cities - Amazon is to blame Title: Re: bookstores in Glasgow suck.

Post by: Indestructable on July 05, 2007, 08:44:24 PM bit of a coincidence that the WH Smiths have the same mags as Glasgow, ie no pplayer or inside poker.
