Re: Economic reality check

I have been a life long subscriber to both Fine Woodworking and Home Building. There has been a major degradation in the publication when Fine Wood Working sells the January cover for advertising. Looking at past and current content, this has got to be a low point for the magazine. The cover should be the introduction to the magazine not an advertisement.

Maybe this is a good time to take a hiatis from the service until standards are re-established. Both magazine subscriptions are expensive. For $35, there should at least be a cover with art work about one topic in that months issue.

How about developing some loyalty to your subscribers? I find it interesting that there is no reason to purchase the monthly subscription when as soon as the year is over, Tauton wants you to purchase those same issues on CD for an amount that totals near the cost of another subscription.

I have boxes and boxes of Fine Woodworking and Homebuilding and it would be nice to have them on CD but not at the price being charged.
