I am hoping to understand what magazines our community reads. Tells us which ones and whether you buy off the rack (OTR) or subscribe. Thank you.

I am amagazines publisher, so my list is long and not all are for my enjoyment. Some are sent that I don't even ask for. Here are some of the usual suspects that we subscribe to:

Esquire
GQ
Menswear
Vanity Fair
Men's Vogue
Allure
Cigar Afficionado
Destinations

Which do you read?

W, quite often
Elle Québec or Canada from time to time
L'Officiel de la couture et de la mode de Paris(but it's so expensive here that... :eek: )
In Style

Islands (I just can't help it :rolleyes: )

And I do suscribe to PC Photo because it came with the purchase of my last camera

Pretty good guesses. I used to subscribe to Esquire and still do subscribe to Cigar Afficianado. Then there are all those car magazine, Reminisce, Collector and Forbes once in a while or when they send it to me free. ;) :D

It used to be Detroit....
I used to subscribe to Model Railroader, then buying it off the rack. I've stopped buying it because the articles resemble more catalogs than the DIY type they used to be.

And I must admit to reading my sister's Glamour magazines once in a while just to get some sketch ideas.

I use to buy magazines and subscribe to them more frequently, but I've been trying to save money lately so I've cut down. Occasionally though I do buy:
Premiere
Empire
And less frequently:
Smithsonian
Conde Nast Traveler
And I bum second hand copies from friends and relatives of magazines like:
Cosmopolitan
Marie Claire
O
Martha Stewart Living (I like the recipes)

Weird NJ. Bi-yearly, but still a magazine and a great one at that. Does anyone outside of my state even know about it?

Oh, one more: I forgot that I'm subscribed to The Historian. It's more journal than magazine but I figure I'd mention it anyway. (What does define "magazine"?)

I enjoy free subscriptions to several magazines for the sole purpose of selling them at the library book sale. People get new mags for .50 each and the library gets money to buy more books:
Bass Master
Log Cabin Living
Real Simple
Cowboy
Vibe
Spin
Interview
Woodworker
Nursing Made Incredibly Easy
Cruise Travel
Entertainment Weekly
and others.

Each week I read an issue of Saturday Review and work the Double Acrostic. I am now up to 1972. :D
