Stephen, we got the same notice from our subscription
agent. The reason they gave is that the journal hadn't increased in
cost in many years, which is true. It was about $40 for the past 4
or 5 years.

Hello,
We just received a notice from our subscription agent that Scientific
American was raising their print subscription price for 2010 from $41.91
(which includes the agent's service charge) to $299.00 Has anyone
else received this outrageous increase notice?
We are in the process of contacting the publisher to find out what might
be the cause of this dramatic price rise.
