Sorry to all those that lost jobs.
And thanks for all the hard work you put into the mag--especially thanks for the cameo shot in the July issue!

I was about to use this same method w HPP: I've been a charter Hemmings Muscle Machines subscriber, and look forward to every PRINT issue. Hemmings had a great deal IMO to receive ALL of their magazines IIRC for $25 in digital format. I did this when it was 1st offered and still maintain my HMM PRINT sub AND the digital format for all.
Bonus feature w Digital issues was ability to download all available back issues available for each magazine. Especially handy for use w Hemmings Motor News "Bible" collector car issue with most all ads articles and vehicles & parts For Sale images and URLs are hot linked and option to view company websites and/or Hemmings website listing for more info & images. Also enjoy viewing "other" make, model, yrs that I'd may be interested in learning about; and no "storage issues" with those fat Motor News print copies.*
... was about to do the same with HPP & Hot Rod if it was available...my HPP last issue sub ran out w the 1971 GTO info. I'll purchase the last issue w 1972 GTO info at B&N...and that Brick & Mortar bookstore chain is soon to end up "DARK" same as Borders & HPP IMO.
And it wouldn't surprise me to see HPP, or a similar variant, be resurrected such as MCR, etc. Over the yrs HPP has changed ownership, publishers, etc. and too, as pointed out here many of the articles are by freelance contributors and certainly there is a backlog of already written articles and pix to be published?
