Please bear this in mind when studying this report Page 11 Basic Cover Prices are used by ABC to determine what circulation should be classified as being at full rate or at a lesser rate, and in determining if a copy may be counted at Special offer prices and similar short term promotion prices will not be reflected in the prices shown above. The highest price in a territory is the ABC Basic Cover Price. A cover price that is reduced from the previous price will not be considered by ABC to be the full price until it has been in place for at least two complete ABC audit months. ABC do not keep a database of cover prices, we are concerned only with cover prices as they affect how circulation may be declared.
