Hi,

Comag are the main magazine importers into the UK, you might be able to 
setup a subscription relationship with them.  Or do the legwork on 
behalf of your newsagent by getting in touch with Comag and finding out 
how to setup a commercial relationship with them - then passing that on 
to a nearby papershop.  They were based in Middlesex when I last dealt 
with them, 192 should be able to help from this point.

Alternatively, if you have to visit Leeds, you could just buy SysAdmin 
from Borders.  I think I've also seen Doctor Dobbs in WHS on Fargate in 
Sheffield.

Six years ago my local newsagent (back then on the East Coast) was 
trying to get hold of SysAdmin for *six months* before a supply 
appeared.  I'd wager this has changed now.

Good luck.
