Did you specifically request a paper version, or, did it just show up as in the past?

Got mine on Saturday, not due to a specified request, but coming in the mail as usual. I'm not fond of the online version. It consumes more of my time that I'd rather devote to playing my guitar.

No specific request required as far as I know. Once you're registered you get the print mailed to you and online access (to a bunch of past issues too).

I SO prefer the paper version and almost never look at it online.

I got mine this past Saturday in Southeast PA. No request...just showed up and I was happy.
However the front cover was mangled a little.

I received mine yesterday, in perfect condition.  After all these years I still get wide-eyed and my heart beats a little faster when I see it in the mailbox.  The same feeling as when my Boys Life magazine arrived in the mail as a young lad.

In the past I have waited weeks longer than others on occasion, but this one arrived yesterday in great shape. Add my name to the list of prefers the hard copy, and maybe to those being called old too.

Well, so much for being an insider!  I’ve been a freelance writer for Wood & Steel, and I haven’t received a copy in almost three years.

I haven't received one in a while either.  I don't like, or spend much time viewing the e-editions, but pretty much much read the paper versions front to back

I had to call them a few years ago and then they started arriving again. I almost think you drop off the list after a few years unless you contact them, FWIW.

I had the same problem with being dropped from the mailing list.  Luckily, I had to register a new guitar and solved that problem.
