***CR has always published a December issue.  The Annual Buying Guide is additional to the monthlies and traditionally comes separately.

Subject: Consumer Reports Buying Guide

We just received Consumer Reports v. 67, No. 12 Dec. 2002.  This is a
separate issue which says "The Gift Guide" on the front.  It is my
understanding that the December issue is always the Buying Guide for the
year.  Many libraries catalog this separately as a monograph.
Has Consumer Reports changed this?
