Bryan works downtown - had ta go ta a few places before he found a copy for me. (So much fer 'The Biggest Little Bookstore's' reputation - they don't carry that magazine!) - Said he paid over 10$CN for the issue.
He'll be over on Thrusday - then I get ta read my own copy! ;D

Howdy, gang--
I've had a chance to peruse this issue more fully, and I was struck by an apparent omission of possibly up to six pages of text in the special section devoted to Brokeback Mountain! I've not yet had occasion to seek out any other copies for comparison, but it does look like these pages were omitted from the printing altogether and were not, say, torn out of this particular copy by some avid reader.
Firstly, Ara Osterweil's article 'Ang Lee's Lonesome Cowboys' (the fifth item in the special section) begins on page 38, and continues onto page 40, which is faced by an unnumbered page containing an ad pertaining to reprints and copyright permission regarding University of California Press materials. On the verso of this advertisement page, the page is numbered 44, and here begins B. Ruby Rich's article 'Brokering Brokeback: Jokes, Backlashes, and Other Anxieties'! What happened to pages 41 through 43, and the assumed ending of Osterweil's piece?
There is a second similar incongruency with D.A. Miller's article 'On the Universality of Brokeback Mountain' (the seventh item in the special section), which begins on page 50, and is cut off in media res on page 58, which is faced by an unnumbered page containing an ad for the University of Texas Press. On the verso of this advertisement page, we see the beginning of of Joshua Clover and Christopher Nealon's article 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell Me', which begins on page 62!
Just a heads up for anyone thinking of purchasing their own copy of this issue. You might want to check for these anomalies first before investing in the product.

I can hear my Granny now "It's them Russians!" :laugh:
Thanks for the heads up thought, I will be looking for this.

Fabienne - Rather than pay for the shipping why not let me (or someone) get one for you and you can take it home with you from Alberta? Just say some little word about this and I'll order another one.
I just ordered mine last night. I misread what I saw on the website a few days ago and thought that each issue was $40.00 instead of $10.00. The $40.00 was for a year's subscription.
