Yes, Jim has had a couple of health issues and this has delayed things a little, but all is well and you will start to to this great publication start to roll again.his subscription is always ten issues not a yearly subscription so you will always get the full amount but the schedule is liberal so he can juggle his full time business, family pinball and the magazine. Its a great mag to subscribe too as Jim has access to areas no one else can such as engineering at Stern and gets exclusives in the pinball world. Well worth subscribing too and very cheap for what you get.
