> Hello,
>
> It has been brought to my attention that the issues of Paris Match that we
> are currently receiving do not begin with page 1.  For example, our copy
> #3018, 22-28 March 2007 begins with page 19.  The last interior page is
> numbered 114 and the inside of the back cover is p.131.  We keep 3 months
> of this publication on our shelves and every issue is similarly numbered.
>
> I'm wondering if such is the case for anyone else and whether or not you
> have any information on why this is happening.  My guess is that something
> is published that "stays in France" and is not included in issues sent to
> the U.S.
>
> Thanks for your help!
