I would recommend this technique and if you find one that consistently has projects you like then subscribe to that one.
I am dropping my subscription to QN after 30 years. Reason being that I paid for three years of this magazine, for 10 magazines a year. Now they have gone to 6 a year. Didn't ask me if it was alright to shorten my subscription or offer to lengthen it to the right number. Ten magazines for 3 years is 30 magazines, now it is 18 for three years. See my point? They are ripping me off and it really makes me mad. Now I go tot he magazine area of my store and stand and look thru to see if there is anything of interest in the magazine. If so I buy it, but more often than not I walk away. Yes it is more expensive buying a magazine that way , but If I don't like anything inside, I save money in the long run. I also do not like the new format they have come up with.
