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

We having national bump week?

Updating what I put in last time, Private Eye, Country Walking, The Engineer, Drives and Controls, and Engineering and Technology (the journal of the Institution of Engineering and Technology).

Just private eye for me.

Although I do occasionally get The Economist, New Statesman or New Scientist.

I read the Economist for the first time today.
Its actually a great read
My partner brought one back from the UK and it seemed to be particularly scathing of the banks and their current problems.

Really interesting, although I would imagine if you knew a lot about that sort of stuff it maybe a bit like reading the sunday mirror or something?

Liekd it though. More than enough information for me.

Oh yeah. When I was a kid a got Select Magazine religiously.

Is there any way of group-buying magazines that would either result in a discount or give a kickback to the server fund? What with all these Private Eye and Economist readers around...

I get the (free) DFID mag, which I think is called Developments. It's pretty interesting (not too PR-y, although that's its job) but thin. At the time I signed up, their dropdown menus had all the honorifics you could shake a shitty stick at, so I am sure plenty of people signed up as e.g. His Excellency The Venerable John Smith.

I used to subscribe to the New Yorker magazine, which was excellent, but a bit pricey, and sometimes a bit samey (oh great, another article about right-wing PACs zzzzzz), but weekly.

A really interesting magazine that's a bit like the New Yorker/Spectator/New Statesman is a Canadian mag, The Walrus: http://www.walrusmagazine.com/ Really interesting for finding out about all the things that you don't know about Canada - although still a bit pricey for me at the moment.

Is that a trade rag you get for free?

It's odd. It's £3.50 or something in the shops but if you subscribe its free. Not really a trade mag though.

Or maybe it is. Dunno.

No current subs, but I regularly read Computer Arts Projects mag (and Computer Arts when it's on a good/relevant subject).

Used to have a sub for Empire mag and read Total Film every month but ran out of room so I stopped and haven't bought one since. Thankfully, a girl at work has a sub to Empire that comes to work so I 'borrow' it sometimes at lunch .

I subscribe to Campaign, the weeky advertising news magazine.

I get one for Brazilian Ju Jitsu - it's pretty good except the English is worse than mine...

 

[bluestreak]

I'm a subscriber to Smoke, and Roc-A-Rolla, and that's it for the printed press at the moment.

Seriously tempted to get a Coilhouse subscription, after enjoying the coolness and informative nature of Coilhouse online

Yeah, thanks for that DC, I'm a fan now too

Linked from Freak Angel, a brilliant online comic by Warren Ellis that goes from the premise 'What if the Midwich Cuckoos had survived?' It's an ace comic.
