What Magazines do you buy/subscribe to?

[eldargal]

Thinking about White Dwarf and magazines and teh general decline in magazine sales, I got to thinking about what magazines people subscribe to, if any. So, what magazines do you subscribe to an what magazines do you just buy whenever you fancy it?

I subscribe to:

White Dwarf
(every issue back to 1 thanks to my brothers getting in early and buying issues they didn't have from friends and older brothers of friends)

Vogue
(have every issue of British Vogue and French vogue back to 1916&1920 respectively, yay for fashionable ancestors)

The Chap
Queen/Harpers Bazaar/Harpers & Queen.

I buy:

Various food magazines
The Oldie
Vanity Fair

The only current subscription I have is to No Quarter Magazine.

I've picked up WD in the past, but haven't purchased a single issue in the last 2-3 years.


I occasionally buy Traditional Bowhunter and Primitive Archer. Being an avid trad archer (but not a hunter) there are some great articles, but it's situational.

I'm much more of a book person than a magazine person, to be honest.

I used to get Wargames Illustrated, Miniature Wargames, After the Battle and the occasional WD but Ive stopped buying all of them over the last couple of years due to cost mainly.

I still read Globe and Laurel but I get to do that for free at work in the College Library.

[Grailkeeper]

I don't regularly (unless you count the ones that come with the Sunday Times), The only time I'd buy a magazine is if I have a long flight - then I'll ususally pick up a copy of Wired or Phoenix(the Irish equivalent of private eye)

[DarkLink]

We have like a lifetime subscription to Popular Science, which tends to have some pretty cool stuff in it even if two thirds of the articles never end up bearing fruition (since technology changes so quickly). I also get Guns and Ammo, because shooting stuff is fun. Unfortunately, about half the articles in all gun magazines are about either AR15 variants or some company's new version of the 1911. Gets kinda old after a while. Worth it for the articles about cool new guns like the ACR, though.

I get Rolling Stone as a gift from my grandparents. Sometimes there's an interesting article, but seeing monthly Matt Taibi articles has been turning me off. I'm not even conservative, I just find him a vitriolic propaganda artist. I just don't feel like Rolling Stone is an appropriate medium for politics... but that's neither here nor there, I guess.

I used to get Boys Life when I was in Scouts, and Highlights when I was a kid, but I haven't gotten either of those in a very long time.

I was once given a WD by a friend.

White Dwarf is the only one for me

Used to buy the occasional gaming mag when it came with free stuff, but not any more

[Gotthammer]

Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine (http://www.andromedaspaceways.com/), though it's more of a digest than a magazine per-se.

[Denzark]

I peruse the Chap now and again.

I purchase WD almost every month. Wargames Illustrated now and again. I used to buy the odd copy of Military Illustrated. Fortean Times, Private Eye.

Occasional WD and the odd archery mag to check new technique and kit, other than that none.

[Lord Azaghul]

none - I tried 'popular science' a few years ago - but it seems to have lost alot of the quality I remember it having, in both presentation and content.
I've picked up the occasional WD - but I'm more of a book person, and mags just don't get re-read: books do!
My wife orders one called 'taste of home' or something - it has a lot really good/easy recipes that we like trying.

[The Girl]

At the moment I subscribe to Spin and Cook's Illustrated, and have gotten RS and VF in the past. I steal issues of Mother Jones, Texas Monthly, and The Utne Reader from my father when he's done with them.

I'm very envious of the French Vogue collection, btw... lucky :)

[wittdooley]

Spin's iPad app is really cool; I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out.

We (the wife and I) subscribe/regularly purchase the following:

White Dwarf
No Quarter!
ESPN the Mag (electronic edition)
Food Network Mag (electronic edition)
Real Simple
Whole Living

[Psychosplodge]

Regularly buy WD though keep telling myself i'm going to stop hence the lapse of subscription, did have every one from 207 but things "disappear"....

Occasionally buy the odd metal hammer,

rarely buy random car/land rover/custom vw camper mags if they catch my eye with an article on the cover.

[Drew da Destroya]

My office has a subscription to "Departures", which is just ridiculous. Ads for cars that turn into planes, watches made with fragments of the Titanic, articles on buying condos in trendy European cities and trying to fit in... it's good for a laugh.

[Necron2.0]

In order of importance:

1) Parenting
2) IEEE Spectrum
3) Unmanned Systems Magazine
4) Avionics Magazine

I forgot, I also subscribe to Apollo Magazine (http://www.apollo-magazine.com/).
