It's now part of the Nature(London) group, and it seems that it will now be priced like Nature. We will be canceling. That's way too  much to pay for a popular magazine. Perhaps they will make it available as a package deal with Nature.

Subject: [SERIALST] Publisher price increase!!!!

Hello,

We just received a notice from our subscription agent that Scientific
American was raising their print subscription price for 2010 from $41.91
(which includes the agent's service charge) to $299.00  Has anyone else
received this outrageous increase notice?

We are in the process of contacting the publisher to find out what might
be the cause of this dramatic price rise.

Stephen
