If I can't see inside, I don't buy.

I would not buy a magazine if I couldn't see what was inside. I bet they loose a lot of sales for that.

Yea anything that I can't see before I buy it makes me think long before I buy it.

I agree with most of you. I used to buy about 4 or 5 magazines a month. I don't anymore because of the plastic. I wouldn't buy anything without seeing it first & that includes magazines. I don't have a problem buying them if there is something inside I want. As to the people that tear pages out I think that is terrible. Seems like the stores could arrest you for that because that is just plain stealing. I am emailing some of the magazines also to put in my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I will not purchase any magazine wrapped in plastic. I also am dropping my subscriptions to most of the quilting mags because they have had such dismal patterns. I have a good library of my own and belong to a guild with an extensive library so I don't need their expensive magazines that are now full of advertising and stuff for sale rather than new quilt patterns.

There were 2 other magazines that were wrapped up in plastic and I forgot which ones they were.... I always like to leaf through them to see if I want them - and on occasion I've bought them - although I'm still upset that I actually misplaced one I bought 2 winters ago and now I'm ready to make the project and can't find it lol. I'm determined to find that magazine!!! Is anyone else annoyed that you can't see a preview of the quilts inside a magazine?? I can't be the only one... |
I also fret about the plastic. In this economy, you would think they would forget about the plastic. It justs makes the magazine more expensive to make.
