“The large order from across the entire United States probably signifies a curiosity about things coming out of Egypt and the Middle East, and – I hope – the fact that The Cairo Review has quickly established itself as a brand with a high editorial quality worthy of a global readership,” said Scott MacLeod, managing editor of The Cairo Review and professor of practice in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, adding that the B&N order is the result of an agreement the journal has reached with a major periodical distributor in the United States. “We expect additional B&N orders, and we are making greater efforts to improve our distribution inside Egypt. Our next step will be to target Europe and Asia.”

The Cairo Review’s Spring 2012 issue is available in B&N stores located in prime locations including Upper West Side, Midtown Fifth Avenue, Greenwich Village, Soho and Brooklyn in New York City; Union Station, 12th Street NW, Bethesda, Tyson’s Corner, McLean and Alexandria in the Washington, D.C. area; as well as flagship B&N stores in major cities including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston and Dallas. In Egypt, The Cairo Review is available at AUC Press bookstores and in other select bookshops.

The Cairo Review of Global Affairs was launched in 2011 by the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. A quarterly policy journal, it brings the insights of global policymakers, academics, public officials and journalists to the Middle East and serves as a global platform for regional specialists.
