Subject: Journal of Homosexuality

Your reactions and comments are needed about the following disturbing fact
concerning the Haworth journal: Journal of Homosexuality.

the subscription info inside v.31 no.1/2 1996:
                   quarterly - 1 year library price: $225-

On the invoice for 9.95-8.96:
                  8 times a year in 2 volumes: $655.- for both volumes. And
this is the price given by several vendors.

We are billed about 300% the stated price in the issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An additional detail: Haworth sends only airmail to overseas subscribers, no
choice, which contributes also, although slightly, to the high price!

When we decided to subscribe to this journal we took the price info from
one sample issue (then $175.-). Useless to say that we have now to consider
cancellation, since this price doesn't fit in our budget.

Is there something I am missing? Please help me to grasp this strange case of
disparity of info for a same item.
