Magazine Drive
No, I’m not soliciting. I’m probably not even buying, though some are quite tempting. No, you know me – I’m savoring the names and descriptions. Fasten your seatbelts.
Good job with these:
Chirp, Turtle Magazine, and Zootles, all for preschoolers
OWL, Hopscotch for Girls, and Zoobooks, for the 5-12 set.
BIG REEL, a magazine for Hollywood collectibles.
Dirt Rag, “the forum for mountain biking enthusiasts to stay connected.”
Domino, “the guide to living with style.”
Goldmine, for music collectibles.
Justine, for teenage girls (get it?).
Mental Floss, my favorite magazine name ever.
Pointe, “ballet at its best.”
Soundings, for sales of boats and waterfront homes.
Who knew?
Bowhunter, Bowhunting, and Bowhunting World. All 9 issues a year. Why, and what’s the difference? Inquiring minds want to know.
Garden & Gun, “A celebration of Southern lifestyle at its best.” ‘Nuff said.
The Highlander? Or Scottish Life? Both about Scottish life and history. Your choice.
Inside Kung Fu, “the ultimate in martial arts coverage.” I just want to toss an issue on my coffee table to see if any guests notice.
Rev., “’Revolutionize’ your ministry with a new magazine just for pastors!” This one cracks me up.
And my favorite description, for Trapper & Predator Caller: “A trapper’s best friend. Tips for set-ups, snares & scents plus detailed instructions for skinning & drying top-dollar fur.” Do you think they have scent strips in this one? Ew and double ew.






I did a doubletake when I saw Garden & Gun. Think my firm should sue?

One of my fave mags is "The Oldie". It's for British senior citizens (I am neither Brit nor over 60, but hey, it's a great magazine)!
