You're seeing effects of the death of the Atari marketplace in the US.
There are no longer enough Atari users or advertisers to support large
"glossy" magazines.  There are still a few smaller magazines trying to
support the market, but they may be hard to find.
 
Atari Interface magazine is available at many B.Dalton Bookseller stores, as
well as WaldenSoftware stores, and many Atari dealers (if you can find one).
