Subject: Bundling by Periodical Publishers

Is anyone aware of periodical publishers practicing "bundling"
of their products--I know many of them offer a deal for
combining online and print subscriptions, but is it a practice
to charge higher prices for a single title, but offer a lower price
if other unrelated titles are also ordered?  I ask on behalf of a
colleague who is considering publishing houses for an academic title.
Thanks
