The trick they've missed is reprinting the guff from the old rags. They could create a new journal each time.. and nearly fill it.

This is the secret behind brides and babies magazines. Those 20 hot tips for seating ex-spouses and their squeezes without offending your new in-laws, or sure-fire ways of knowing which end of your offspring you're meant to speak to, are only of interest to one-time buyers: anyone who's been around the block in question isn't particularly bothered to read it all again.

As a result, you can happily recycle articles with minimal editing and a few new glossy photos. I had a publisher for a client who specialised in it and paid lots of lovely fees to me. Happy days indeed.
