It's not clear to me that NYBC has tried to distribute it other than as
part of membership or at their gift shop, which is a shame because is is a
wonderful magazine (and the past two issues have touched upon the Klezmer
Revival and John Zorn). As for the reduction, I guess that NYBC felt that
they had to devote their resources to their main mission - saving and
distributing Yiddish books - rather than Pakn Trager.
