I'm so pedestrian...

Golly.

You folk sure do like your magazines! I'll read darn-near anything in the doctor's office... several year-old National Geographics, Reader's Digests, Time, Newsweek, etc. Only thing I actually subscribe to is "L'Actualité" (French-Canadian newsmagazine out of Québec).

I'm too cheap to subscribe to any, but I will usually read these, if a copy comes my way:

Newsweek
The New Yorker
Latin Mass

I also dip my nose from time to time in literary periodicals (The Paris Review, The Kenyon Review, etc.) and am routinely disgusted.

As far as old magazines, I love old McCalls and better Homes and Gardens.

Oh, golly. Old magazines. When I was a lot younger, say in my teens, my parents used to go to estate auctions as a hobby. They collected darn-near everything and anything that caught their eye.

One day they came back with the station wagon STUFFED with old Saturday Evening Posts- literally thousands of them- going back to the late 1890s. I spent a very great deal of time going through them, and especially loved the 30s & 40s issues. Automobile advertisements, cigarette ads, etc. I bet I learned more about life in the U.S.A. from those magazines than I ever would have had I only watched TV.

Unfortunately, the entire collection was sold at an enormous yard sale in 1976 when my father got transferred to a new town and bought a smaller house. Of course, the editions with any Norman Rockwell artwork- especially the covers- were first to go, and sometimes only the cover, or a single page were taken. :eusa_doh:

*sigh* Memories.

I LOVE old 30's - 50's Lane Bryant and Roamanns catalogs. When I see one, I try my best to snatch it up.

Hi Rosie,

I'd love to see some scans from these, especially the 30's and 40s ones. Any chance you could post some in the Powder Room?

You know, I've been meaning to do this. I'm thinking of taking pictures of them though because I have no idea how to use my scanner properly [huh] I'm dense in that area.
