They're losing 4 more magazines, shutting them down. Gourmet, Cookie, Elegant Bride, and Modern Bride.

I'm sorry to hear about Gourmet and Cookie; we will miss those.

Gourmet started publication in 1940.

I get Conde'Naste Traveler, although it gets tiresome to read sometimes with their increasing zeal to mix politics into everything. That magazine certainly has no advertising problems - it is about half or more ads.

I used to like Reader's Digest. We still get it, but it seems most of each edition is pharmaceutical ads.

I dropped Conde Naste Traveler a couple of years back for the very reason you mention; then they sent me a "we want you back" offer: $1.00 an issue--how could I refuse. Now that has lapsed and I'm still waiting for my $1 offer.
