What paper magazines do you still subscribe to?

Magazines on paper may be dying, but they aint dead yet. I am down to five paper subscriptions (from my high of about 50 in the late 90s). Every now and then I check the newsstands and the library looking to see if I am missing something. What are some magazines worth subscribing to on paper? |

Small craft advisor. The only NA magazine catering to small sail and oar powered boat. From Port Townsend. Watercraft. UK magazine on the same thing as Small Craft Advisor.

Books and Culture - a tabloid sized magazine similar to the New York Times Review of Books. I love the aesthetic of reading it spread out on the kitchen table like a map and being able to circle authors and references on that thirsty newsprint paper. And it's strangely satisfying to rip out a page for handing off to a friend. (And it's available digitally if I'd rather send a link.) |
To answerers of this question: I'd be very curious to know why it's better in paper form than in electronic?
