This article presents information on the closing down of many publishing houses which published British periodicals. Since the end of last year more than twenty-three journals have ceased publication or have merged with others, or have appeared less frequently than they did. All of them represented an extraordinary diversity of opinion and interest. The basic trouble causing the closure is the cost of paper. There are many types of paper, from newsprint to art paper, and the rise in cost varies from 100 to 160 percent, but the difficulties are also due to advertising fluctuations.
