Cinema Retro issue #22, the first issue of Season 8,  is now shipping to all subscribers in the UK and Europe.  We expect the issue to arrive in the USA in early January and it will be sent out to American and Canadian subscribers, as well as those in other parts of the world as soon as it lands on our doorstep.

It's a pretty joyous way for us to welcome the holidays- that is, celebrating the eighth year of Cinema Retro. It's been quite a ride. Thanks to all who have purchased issues and especially those loyal readers who support us by subscribing. Many of you have heeded our annual plea to renew your subscriptions ASAP. This helps insure there is adequate cash flow to help us continue to limit the amount of advertisements in every issue, thereby giving you 64 pages of great content.

If you have not renewed your subscription for season 8, please do so today. Remember, every issue is a limited edition collector's item and the longer you wait, the greater the chance that you might find yourself paying sky high prices on the collector's circuit to get the ones you are missing.The closing of Borders stores also means there are less copies available for the American market, so subscribing ensures you'll never miss an issue.

As we celebrate another successful year, we also have to thank all of the enormously talented writers who contribute to every issue. Without their willingness to share their insights with our readers, Cinema Retro would be a pale shadow of what it is today. We also want to thank all of the noted professionals from the film industry who are so supportive of our efforts to pay tribute to the great films of the 60s and 70s. There are also world class authors and film scholars who enrich our every issue with their talents. (It's a bit humbling to have the likes of Sir Christopher Frayling volunteering to write an in-depth article about the making of How the West Was Won.)

We have another great season lined up for you this year, so get on the Cinema Retro bandwagon by subscribing or renewing today.

We wish you all the best for the holiday season.
