Bonus Booklets Not For Subscribers?

Pathfinder,

Those premium booklets are intended as enticements to get first-time readers to pick up the magazine on the newsstand. But their contents are almost entirely made up of articles that have already been printed in the magazine. If you're a subscriber, you likely already have the material in the premium booklets.

 

Thanks for the clarification, although in my case I can not recall reading any of the articles in the January booklet.

Cheers,

Pfinder

Was the planning booklet inside the magazine (like RMC's bonus booklets tend to be), or was it included in a plastic wrapper around the magazine.
I did not receive any such booklet, and I am a long term subscriber, so perhaps it was an newsstand sales only promotion.

ETA: I see the question was already answered while I stepped away for a moment before submitting. Oh well, at least I guessed right.

I subscribe to MR, usually at a 3 year period so do not look at the newsstand issues.  However a friend who buys his mentioned that the January 2015 issue had an interesting and informative booklet about planning; and as both he and I are in the process of planning layouts he found it very useful and was wondering what I thought.  But my subscriber copy did not come with the bonus, so I ended up buying the issue myself and indeed found the booklet very informative.  Before I discuss this with Customer Service, do other subscribes get the bonuses, and if not do you think we should?

 

Thanks,
