Consumer Reports publishes two issues in December.  The regular sized magazine issue No.12 and the small fat Buying Guide issue No. 13.

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?
