We have exciting news for you. The qualified circulation of Java Developer's Journal print edition reached a record high of 70,017 for the June issue, according to BPA International's June 1999 initial audit report. For the June issue JDJ printed and distributed over 104,000 copies, including 13,000 bonus copies distributed at JavaOne in San Francisco. Show copies were not included in JDJ's qualified circulation figures. Based on the most current data available through BPA International (June statements), JDJ's qualfied circulation now is higher than Java Report and Java Pro combined.

    JDJ's single-copy sales also reached a record high in April among 10 leading consumer computer titles. According to BPA International, 13,179 copies were sold on the newsstands, an impressive net sales number Ð more than twice as many as Microsoft Systems Journal, Web Techniques, C/C++ Users Journal, Windows NT Systems and others.

    I'd like to personally thank you, our readers, for making JDJ your favorite Java magazine since our premier issue more than four years ago.

   Java Developer's Journal's target print circulation is 160,000 copies, and online circulation is 3 million quarterly page views. When the target numbers are achieved, JDJ will have the highest circulation of all consumer software titles audited by BPA International.

   The last news I would like to share with you is that SYS-CON Publications, publisher of Java Developer's Journal was named as the fastest-growing, privately held publishing company in America. We ranked 194th in this year's Inc. 500 list.
