The magazine was available through INI Sales and Distribution, 161-166 Fleet Street, London E.C.4. The original cost of the magazine was 2 Shillings [5] (equivalent to £ 2.45 today). By the end of 1962 it was retailing at 2 Shillings 6 pence [6] (written "2/6d", £3.06 today) and currently retails for £4.30 per issue, though various other deals are available by buying subscriptions and / or the electronic version of the magazine.
