I've noticed that too and I find it SO frustrating. Sometimes my local news agent will deeply discount back issues of quilting magazines and and put them on a rack outside the shop unwrapped. I try to pounce then.
The other thing I've noticed is that those magazines that get bundled together in plastic wrap seem to have a fair bit of content that's very similar across the publisher's different titles. Seems to me they're recycling content.
Other than that I agree that books are much better value for money.
I use
http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ for books. Free postage. Gotta love that!
