So...who's buying these?
"Lifestyle" magazines, that is. The rack at the local bookseller is always full and I never see anyone buying, or even just browsing them. I would assume that publishing a magazine isn't a trivial (or inexpensive) venture these days. Is there enough revenue to be had from print ads to make it worthwhile to wrap some advertising around a bunch of fluff articles and put out a magazine? Who's putting up the money to get these things up & running?

The Surfer's Journal is the equivalent of The Rodder's Journal, which is a very, very good magazine about hotrods.

There is nothing my GF likes more than to have an imaginary dose of the flue and spend a few days in bed reading a stack of them.

Different strokes. My gf wonders why I buy and keep back issues of Octane and Evo. Then again, she's one of those people that wonders why I've got a bunch of books I've already read.
