Thanks for letting me know. Seeing I'm not a pharmacist or doctor, I'd probably be happy with the online version & only print out the articles I want to read.
I agree about having a copy in your hand to read in bed. The New Scientist (British journal) is one of my favourites but it costs a few hundred a year too. There's someone who gets the sub as a present every year & the mags filter their way down through family. After the family reads it, it's passed on to me. I'm quite happy reading the articles a little late. :)
> IsoM - The $60 is just for access to the JCP site. I like having the journal. I mean I'd print all the articles anyway, so I'd probably spend more than a couple hundred dollars on paper an toner. With the print journal you get full access to the site, as well.

I wanted to subscribe to Neuropsychopharmacology, but the owners, Elsevier, want an outrageous price (something like $500 CDN). Until I can write off journals on my income tax, I really can't justify another expensive journal to my wife ;^)
