Just this morning ( have a cold and can't go out to take photos of the fall foliage) I was thinning out the last 9 months of mags and it really is increadible. For the most part the photo mags like Popular Photo. are unpaid ads in the front disguised as product debuts and the the last 2/3 of the magazine is paid ads with little information in between. I have however been impressed with some of the UK mags like Photo Technique and some of the Magazines from Canada. Anyway just my $0.02 Ernie Nitka
