Hey all!

What do you guys think about the Mercedes Enthusiats magazine? I was reading it on saturday and i gave some good reviews of the upcomming SL55 as well as MB in general! Good magazine and i would recommend reading it!

 

I would like to know more about this magazine. Publisher, where published, web site??? Up here in the boonies where I live, there isn't much available, so any information you can provide will be much appreciated.

I think you can pick one of these mags at your local Borders or Barnes and Nobles.

 

OK thanks, however there won't be a Borders here until mid summer, and there is no Barnes And Noble. That's why I asked for publisher info. Like I said, I live in the boonies!

 

Jam, I have a Borders and a Barnes and Nobles right near me and they both don't carry it.

 

It seems like it's hit or miss on which mega bookstore chain carries it.

I got issue #2 at the local in n. NJ, but couldn't find later issues. Had to go to NYC, and found it at the stand in Grand Central. They have everything at that place. It's pretty cool, but I'd hate to have to go there every time to get the mag.

Has anyone in the US attempted to subscribe?

Ive gotten the last two issues and I plan to get future issues as well. Its fun reading for those who own MB's and look for fun facts and tips as well as things to do with your car. Its a UK mag though so many of the the items may not apply to US buyers. I have really liked the past two Jan and Feb issues. Where is the store that you found it in Grand Central? I know of a big mag store in the middle of Grand Central but they did not seem to carry it. Info would be very helpful.

 

It's about time there is a publication dedicated to MBZ. I like it.

 

Where to find in NYC:

Borders: Park and 57th

Grand Central: the large Hudson News on the main Concourse
but you have to look in the British magazine section....to the left of the eastern entrance to the stand.

Barnes & Noble: Union Square

but none of these shops get very many so you have to time it right.

That is very interesting..??? On saturdays i go to Burbank where they have Barnes and Nobles and that's how i knew about this magazine. The only thing i can think of is that this mag has a limited circulation??

 

Next time i'm there i'll ask at the little information desk. Mabye there was not enough interest in it, so they are just circulating it at a select few bookstores in big cities to see how it sells?

 

I was originally looking in the Automotive section of the mag store but the MB Enthusiast as you mention is in the British section. It is a UK magazine but I would have still thought it would have been in the Automotive section. Hope that helps some of you others find it. I went to the Grand Central magazine store many times but not till yesterday did I realize it was in the British section (then I read your post). Thanks for the info. Its a good magazine and on a subscription it should be significantly cheaper. Its $7.95 an issue.

 

The magazine stand that I got it in is not really part of Grand Central, it's the lobby of the met life building, on the Eastern side of the lobby, before the big entrance to GC. Kind of diagonally across from the Godiva shop.
