Stockists

COVID-19

During the Covid-19 crisis, the majority of the bookstores and newsagents around the world that usually sell Philosophy Now closed for some time. Most have now opened again. Here is a brief summary of the current availability as we understand it, with apologies for any errors.

UK: All WHSmith high street stores are open once more. Most branches of WHSmith Travel at train stations and about half of their branches at airports have reopened. Some Waterstones and Blackwell’s bookstores have switched on the lights but may not yet have restocked. Most of the independent newsagents that stock Philosophy Now never closed.

USA: Most Barnes & Noble bookstores are now selling magazines again. They all either have or will shortly receive supplies of Philosophy Now. Some independent bookstores and newsstands also sell the magazine.

Canada: Most branches of Indigo Books are now open.

Ireland: All branches of Eason’s are now open again, with safety measures.

Australia: Most independent news agents around the country remain open and continue to sell Philosophy Now.

Worldwide: We are still able to send subscription copies and single copies of Philosophy Now to most addresses around the world. There are still delays to international airmail due to the reduced number of passenger flights.

Stay well and stay safe!
