Chop Talk magazine returning in April
The official monthly magazine of the Atlanta Braves for the past 11 years, ChopTalk, will return in April after a three-month hiatus. After being unable to reach an agreement with their prior publisher in December the Braves were forced to discontinue the fan magazine. Current subscribers were refunded for all unfulfilled issues. At the time, the Chop Talk website cited “changing conditions in the publishing industry, including rising costs,” as reasons for the action.
Wonderdog Publishing, Inc., led by the former editor of the magazine, Gary Caruso, will take the reins in late March (though the issue will be dated April 2005). A new, more expansive format featuring columns by Bobby Cox, John Schuerholz, and various Braves players will go a long way toward bringing both old and new subscribers into the fold.
Fans wishing to subscribe can send a check or money order for $34.95 (for one year / 12 issues) payable to “ChopTalk” to: Chop Talk, P.O. Box 922847, Atlanta, GA 30010-2287. Subscriptions can also be had by calling 800-268-6942. Long live the Chop!
