For example, Hauser, a magazine for architects, also began to use this scheme and instead of including plans they "offer" them to the subscribers as a time-limited download from their webpage. A magazine for architects without detailed plans? Ridiculous. Before we know, all the good magazines will become shallow because of trying to attract "new" kinds of readers (i.e. the uninitiated, general public) who are quite happy with a bunch of colorful "design" pictures and exclamations like "innovative idea" or "fresh design".

As I stated in my email to you, it has always been our policy not to sell to online-only shops. When I first sold to you, I must not have realized you didn't have a brick and mortar location. This happens sometimes. In regards to why The Knitter's Purse was discontinued...it was simply time to offer new styles. All our retail accounts received email notices when this style was discontinued. As stated before, I apologize for this inconvenience. Not realizing you were an online-only shop was an oversight on my part. I wish you the very best success with your business. Sincerely, Jordana Hi Venita,
