Magazine pass-along value

Question
Should I value the "pass along" distribution numbers that the magazines give me to estimate a larger circulation? 
Answer
Pass along readership is when readers give their magazines to a friend who shares it with other friends, etc. Any value given to pass along readership figures typically should not be used to justify the expense of the advertising.
