ceratinly the sale of sf books and magzines has declined.
Either this is due to the availability of alternatives: television, flim, 0r....
the eyesight of the aging sf fans is failing, and they're dying off, or simply finally growing up. Carefully note the general age of HZ regulars.
I haven't seen magazines on the newstands for years, so I susupect that they have "dedicated" markets - probably an indication of high returns by newstand dealers. On the other hand, the movie industry special effects mag cinefx enjoys newstand sales
My work is all text based, so I don't much care to spend my relaxation time sampling sf looking for something good. The last thing I read was pretty much all of William Gibson, where quality was assured.
