Do'h, pressed 'submit' a little too quick...

The figures are average net circulation figures, total (that includes world-wide distribution), based on ABC data, taken from the www.abc.org.uk/ website

How odd....

Not like for like, though.....weekly/monthly/free/cost you.

Are these figures per year? per month?

Per issue, I'd wager to guess. Some numbers look distinctively familiar to me...

There are lots of very popular titels missing here?

Such as...

[motormonk]

Those figures are per-month, so weeklies have 4.2 issues to contend with, and bimonthlies have 0.5 issues.

And no, I don't think there are any titles missing. Go to the ABC website, select all motoring publications and order them by total circulations, and you can see the full list of about a hundred publications.

It *is* surprising reading, but these figures are supposedly some of the most accurate that are available.

All VX employees past and present receive a copy no doubt, whether they want one of not

Ok, point taken - done a check and all the others ones I was thinking of (including Classic Cars, LROI, other 4x4 mags, Parkers) didn't even make the list you posted above - very surprising.

I get sent one regularly, because I entered a competition about 5 years ago....
