We also subscribe to Stern. We did not receive v.59 no. 35 Aug.24, and have not yet received v.59 no.47 Nov.16.

I assumed this was over explicit nudity, but I see it's political. Why would the publisher self-censor that? I think the academic libraries in the U.S. can handle it. (You can see far worse photoshops anywhere on the web).

Subject: [SERIALST] Stern Magazine Censorship

Hi everyone,

Do any other libraries on this list subscribe to the print format of Stern Magazine?  We subscribe and we just received another notice from GLP International that "due to circumstances beyond our control issue 47 of Stern was not made available for export to the USA.  We regret this inconvenience and have extended your subscription by one issue."

We have noticed a trend in these notices and based on the cover art, we believe the publisher is censoring what is exported to the U.S.  We are not interested in an extension of our subscription.  Rather we are interested in the missing issue with which we subscribed.

Has anyone else received these notices that the publisher is not sending issue 47?  We are also missing issue 35 and were sent the same notice for that issue.  If you look at the cover art for the missing issues, they have a common theme.
