didn't want to create a new thread as this is just a quick question about Paperback Fanatic publications so this seemed as good a place as any.
Obviously older editions are no longer available but it seems that the recent ones have been available for quite sometime and I'm collecting them at a rate of a couple a month. Is their a rule of thumb as to how long they stay in print on Amazon as I was thinking I should prioritise if any are due to go out of print.
Also are any likely to come back into print?

Is their a rule of thumb as to how long they stay in print on Amazon as I was thinking I should prioritise if any are due to go out of print. Also are any likely to come back into print? All issues and titles published through Am*z*n are POD (print on demand) publications which means that - theoretically - they will remain available until the heat death of the universe or until such time as Justin chooses to withdraw them (whichever comes first). Some of the earlier self-published issues have been resurrected in POD format such as the first three issues of Pulp Horror in THE COLLECTED PULP HORROR and some of the early Men of Violence numbers too. It would be great to see some of the early issues of Paperback Fanatic especially similarly resurrected. But Justin really finds it more satisfying and rewarding creating new stuff rather than revisiting past triumphs. But if there should be a vocal clamour for it then who knows? Never say never.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I've always assumed that if an item is labelled on their website as being "shipped by Amazon" then that means they have it in one of their warehouses and it will continue to be available until they have none left and can't get any more supplied.

On the website most things are labelled as 'Sold Out' but a lot are still available on Amazon. I'm not sure if the website is that active? There are no cover pictures for instance?

All titles published POD through Am*z*n - which is everything since the summer of 2017 - remain available. Everything before that time was self-published and should be considered Oop.

Sorry, I meant if it is described that way on the Amazon website. I'm pretty sure that they would have bought up some copies to hold in stock (especially if they know the items are selling), rather than relying entirely on POD. As Cromagnonman said though, if the more recent issues are being printed through Amazon's own POD service, then there shouldn't be a problem with them running out.

Off topic, but the PODs delivered in Germany from Am*z*n are printed in Poland. As delivery is never more than 3 or 4 days it is a fast service at low prices.
