National Geographic and I'd like to get Nautilus' prints as well, but I've heard that they have (or had) a tough time getting orders fulfilled in a timely manner. I'd really dislike getting a certain month's magazine a month or more later; for me, in such cases, consistency is key.

I am also a happy NG subscriber.

I've worked for a well established print magazine publisher in the recent past, and can attest that in a period when online subscription increased by 100x, print subscription shrank by a factor of 10.

My understanding is that they continue to produce a print edition mostly because of certain advantages it confers in terms of positioning, and that it's now a loss leader.
