Curious. I always used to get my 2600 from their shelves, and they were always prominently displayed.

- cantankerous 14y agoI did too, though it made for some weird conversations at the checkout counter.
- Canuteson 14y agoI came to say the exact same thing. And they still carry "The Hacker Quarterly". http://www.barnesandnoble.com/c/2600-magazine http://www.barnesandnoble.com/c/2600-magazine
- rbanffy 14y agoThey must think it's about woodwork with axes or for people who have chronic coughing problems.
- jlgreco 14y agoThey still carry them, but recently (starting maybe 2 or 3 years ago really), the BN in Philadelphia has been 'hiding' their copies of 2600 in the cabinets underneath the magazine racks. I don't know if poor sales or customer complaints are the cause.
- mjwalshe 14y agowell back in the early/mid 90's in the Uk Forbidden Planet used to have Mondo 2000 and Wired in the rack next to Skin 2. Skin2 is a famous Fetish Mag - for those you who don't get out much.
- AJ007 14y agoSame here. Additionally Amazon carries the digital version of 2600 (although I wish it came in the same visual format as the print version.)
- GBond 14y agoCame here to say the same as well. My guess? The same management that "knee-jerk reaction" bans a mag just because it has the word HACK in bold large text doesn't bother to figure out the actual contents of 2600.
