Like I said before, the magazine just hit the stands in England late 
last week. We who have subscriptions get them sooner than they actually 
hit the newsstands because the subscriptions are mailed about a week in 
advance of the newsstand date and US subscriptions arrive via air mail. 
Overseas newsstand copies of this magazine are usually a MONTH to SIX 
WEEKS behind the issue date because the magazines are bulked to an east 
coast distributor who then sends them to magazine retailers all over 
the country. So you WON'T find the November Issue of this magazine at a 
US store until AT LEAST the first of December. They likely aren't even 
in this country yet.

Also, be prepared for the newsstand copy NOT having the calendar in it. 
While it MAY, I've seen instances where the "premiums" included with 
domestic and subscription magazine issues (such as calendars, CDs etc) 
don't make it to the foreign newsstand issues.

But, be of good cheer. The Brit magazine "Classics and Sports Cars" 
(the one with the stylized "Bentley" wings as part of their logo) 
always includes a very nice automotive calendar with their December 
issue, even in the US newsstand copies, but you'll still have wait 
until January, most likely, to get it.
