Hi Dennis,
This is confusing: I've just received my 'Bi Monthly' copy of Blades! But you said you had just taken delivery of the October issue yet mine says November on it!
If it is 'Bi Monthly' then it should say October as it follows Issue 10 February, Issue 11 April, Issue 12 June, Issue 13 August so Issue 14 should be October yet the one that arrived through my door yesterday says Issue 11 November!!!!
Was there ever an October issue?
As regards Loop, that arrived yesterday too...........Issue 62 November.
