Do you get any 'specialist' magazines or mag subscriptions?

[Chairman Meow]

My Private Eye sub needs to be renewed.

My husband buys me Your Cat if I'm feeling poorly.

 

[Roadkill]

I've a subscription to the London Review of Books which I was given by someone I know who subscribes and offered his 'introduce a friend' subscription to me. Oh, and I read Rail magazine.

 

[Zorra]

Sound on Sound, Private Eye, Airflash (community radio news, I'm thrilling, me) and Third Sector. But my favourite read is the Waitrose glossy recipe / shopping mags that my mum sends me

 

[moose]

Baseline, Vogue Knitting, Volkswagen Camper & Commercial, The Golf, Songlines.

 

[Ms T]

I get Good Food and Olive magazine (I get them half-price). Hendo gets Private Eye and The Economist.

 

[moose]

One of my clients used to advertise in Potato Review, so I used to be sent free copies

 

[HackneyE9]

A-B, the Journal of the Folding Bicycle Society
Isis - the Bob Dylan Newsletter
Economist
Frieze
Architects Journal
Rail

 

[ICB]

I get lots of free subscriptions to IT stuff at work (Computer Weekly, Computing, Government Computing, MIS, CIO), most of which get a quick skim on the khazi and then recycled. For some reason I also get Young People Now, which is occasionally interesting. I've been having a concerted effort to get myself removed from lists lately so I don't get nearly as many as I used to.

At home I get The Philosophers' Magazine and Think.

 

[May Kasahara]

Oh, I forgot, the mister has a subscription to Rock-a-rolla, which is an excellent music mag.

 

[PursuedByBears]

I don't subscribe, but I regularly read Private Eye and SFX. Oh, and a new SF mag called Death Ray - it's "where science fiction lives" apparently.

 

[bluestreak]

nothing regularly but i'll pick up the obscurer music mags such as plan b when i see them, which isn't often these days as i live and work in brixton and streatham. the last thing i subscribed to was 'comes with a smile' which was great but they couldn't afford to keep going. i don't seem to have any time to read these days. i was sent a review copy of the NME the other week and it was one of the most depressing things i've ever read. no real journalism, very little criticism (in the review sense), i managed to read a music mag cover to cover without actually elarning anything about the musicians or their music.

 

[dash_two]

Used to get Bird Keeper magazine, and a couple of science journals, but don't bother now.

 

[Chairman Meow]

My favourite obscurity was a cooking mag aimed at men called 'Pure Soup', It didn't last long though.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Bumping this thread because I was searching for TLS.

I really want to subscribe to some literary mags but I don't know that I can justify it. I'd quite like to subscribe to the New York Review of Books, and probably the London Review of Books and TLS, but they're all so flaming expensive.

I'll stick with my one subscription to LivingEtc.

 

[Geri]

I had subscriptions to Which? and Marie Claire, but I've just cancelled them.

I only did them because there were special offers. Bit disappointed with the Marie Claire, as they don't send the free gifts you get if you buy it in a shop. It was only £1 for three issues though.

 

[cyberfairy]

What a bump! Still get Plan B and When Saturday Comes on subscription and Private Eye most fortnights but not seen any interesting new mags in a while.

I have an LRB subscription.

If you want to read any on the website I will let you use my subscription thingy.

You can always read it in the Library at Keele! I use to read the TLS in there every Thursday, and then buy it from the newsagents on campus, if it was any good.

I wouldn't mind reading the New York Review of Books more often, though!

 

[Homeless Mal]

Restaurant magazine

 

[Bungle73]

I get Tate Etc. and the British Museum Magazine because I am member of both organisations.

 

[stavros]

The Ecologist is the only one I get each issue of, but I'll buy The Wire if it's got a free CD with and/or I feel like being recommended some very left-field music.

 

[purves grundy]

New Statesman
New Left Review
Private Eye

Not that special tbh

 

[butterfly child]

Peppa Pig

Although gotta cancel it this week as the recipient is leaving the fold...

 

[pinkmonkey]

I subscribe to Private eye and Drapers Record. I've also got an online subscription to Footwear News - at $50 it works out alot cheaper than $300 for the paper one - I've no idea why more companies don't do online ones.

I get every issue of L'Officiel Accessoires 1000 models, Canal Boat and Waterways World and Zoom on fashion trends and View (trend forecasting mag).

 

[Vintage Paw]

I have an LRB subscription.

I honestly didn't know they have it there! Thanks Now you have to PM me where it is, and your LRB log in

The one I really want is the NYRB. I wonder if they have that at Keele

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Fortean Times

 

[NuttyHarry]

I don't subscribe that much, but I do buy 'Linux Format' regularly.

Does it count?

 

[cesare]

I get 'Lifeboat' because I am a member of the RNLI. I don't often read it though, just a quick thumb through.

I get that too for the same reason. Likewise with the National Trust one. And I get an employment law one for work.

 

[Madusa]

most magazines are such a waste of money!

 

[Detroit City]

Do you get any 'specialist' magazines or mag subscriptions?
.

i get Information Week which is an IT magazine but more from the business side vs. the technical side. I've been gettin' it for free for the last 13 yrs. Just need to fill out a survey questionaire every year.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I was in WHSmith's yesterday, and highly tempted to pick up a copy of Railway Modeller. My father used to get it every issue back when he relived an idealised version of his own childhood through my hobbies (ie model railways, stamp collecting).

Whilst I was never that into model railways myself, I was always fascinated by the photographs of amazing sets built in attics, home offices, under floorboards, in gardens etc which featured in RM.
