Thank you for writing to Borders Customer Care with your title assistance request. You have reached a central email address for the Borders stores, but not a specific store.
I'm very sorry that we were unable to answer you more quickly. Although we strive to answer customers within 24 hours, we sometimes receive more inquiries than we anticipate. If you need or prefer immediate assistance in the future, you may wish to contact our Customer Contact Center at 1-888-81-BOOKS.
I appreciate your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have the systems in place to check the periodical titles that are carried in our stores. This is in part due to the fact that more specialized periodicals can very from store to store depending on the customer demand for that area, and I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause for you.
However, please feel free to contact your local Borders store to see if they carry the new special issue of "Billboard."
I hope that this information is helpful. If you should have any other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Malcolm Bondon

**Here are some EXCERPTS from the magazine I found online at Billboard. Then below is what I paid though their website for that issue. I paid $6.99 the other day, and I see today when I just checked it now says $12.99. Stinkers! Of course, I have no clue if it is the same identical issue. So, when it comes in, I shall see.

Power Players 2006: Women In Music, Twisted Sister
These are EXCERPTS from the article you requested.
Twisted Sister: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE
October 14, 2006 -RAY WADDELL
"Twisted Sister is a machineâ¿¿an unstoppable, unpredictable freight train that has derailed and destroys all in its path," longtime band associate, tour manager and European booking agent Danny Stanton says.
Formed in the early 1970s by guitarist (and erstwhile Deadhead) Jay Jay French, the glam-metal band hammered out a name for themselves on the New York club scene, then a thriving, vital bar band environment.
[...] the bands that played them were for the most part cover bands.
Twisted Sister: STILL TWISTED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
October 14, 2006 -BRYAN REESMAN
By the time Twisted Sister broke up in the fall of 1987, it had played thousands of shows, scored a double-platinum album with "Stay Hungry" and made two iconic videos ("We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock").
With personal in-fighting adding to the sense of disarray, the New York-based cult band that had transformed into an MTV darling fell apart and became a distant pop-culture memory.
Snider wrote and co-starred in the horror film "Strangeland" and enlisted his former bandmatesâ¿¿guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, bassist Mark Mendoza and drummer A.J. Peroâ¿¿to record, albeit separately, the song "Heroes Are Hard to Find."
Twisted Sister: STARTING A REBELLION
October 14, 2006 -TAMARA CONNIFF
Five middle-aged men, average height 6 feet (average height for males in Switzerland is 5 feet, 9 inches), long hair, ripped jeans and thick Long Island, N.Y., accents.
Who the hell do we look like? the band's manager replied.
"Being a band member and the manager was crazy," French says.
Twisted Sister: 'TOOK ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN'
October 14, 2006
Often perceived as a two-hit wonderâ¿¿said songs being the rousing '80s rockers "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock"â¿¿Twisted Sister's history is deeper than most people know, and its influence on hard rock more profound.
Frontman/songwriter Dee Snider contends that Twisted Sister was not only the original hair metal band but that it also invented speed metal with such fast-paced anthems as "Tear It Loose."
Originally formed in 1973 in New York by Jay Jay French, the band had formulated its classic lineup by 1982 with Snider, guitarists French and Eddie Ojeda, bassist Mark Mendoza and drummer A.J. Pero.
