Cambridge's Out of Town News so far is the lone Massachusetts retailer slated to receive the "survivors edition" of Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine that yesterday released its first issue since last week's deadly attack by Islamic extremists in Paris.
The Harvard Square newsstand will get five to 10 copies from the first print run of the edition, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on the cover, according to Martin McEwen, sales and marketing vice president at LS Distribution North America, the Montreal-based North American distributor for the magazine.
"We're trying to get them there for Friday, but it will be probably be over the weekend or Monday morning," McEwen said. "For the first distribution, there are only 300 copies going into the U.S."
The new issue of Charlie Hebdo, which had a press run of 5 million copies, sold out within minutes yesterday in France. Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for the Jan. 7 attack on the magazine's offices that killed 12 people, saying it ordered the killings because it believed the weekly had insulted Muhammad.
LS Distribution has been inundated with calls from U.S. and Canadian outlets seeking copies of the magazine. "We're expecting additional copies when they do their second print run, but we don't have any confirmation on timings or quantities," McEwen said.
The owners of Out of Town News, which a worker said was slammed with calls yesterday, couldn't be reached. It's unclear if the copies that it will receive already are spoken for by customers. "Most of the retailers I've spoken with, all of the copies are reserved," McEwen said. "They have waiting lists."
