Future Gifts: Magazine Subscriptions

Apart from Amazon electronic gift certificates which can be printed and gift-packaged within minutes, another last minute gift idea is Magazines. Since magazine subscriptions take a couple of months before they start, it doesn't really matter when you order them, as long as you do :-)

And better yet, Amazon has an on-going promotion where you get $5 off the current price of over 100 magazines participating in this promotion. And you can use the $5 discount as many times as you like - whether you subscribe to one magazine or ten! The discount will be applied to your "Checkout page". Look for the discounts in the upper right-corner of the Checkout page!

Two Photography Magazines
+ Popular Photography and Imaging for $14 - $5 = $9 for 12 issues (one year subscription)
+ American Photo for $13 - $5 = $8 for 6 issues (one year subscription)
+ If you already have a subscription, be sure to check that it will be added to your existing subscription, and they do not create a second one running in parallel

Over one hundred general interest magazines
Over 100 popular magazines are available as part of this promotion including:

+ Wired, Popular Mechanics, Discover, Scientific American
+ Brides, Modern Brides, Elegant Bride, Mujer
+ PC World, Sound and Vision
+ Smart Money, Fast Company, Inc, Forbes, Portfolio
+ Maxim, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Redbook, GQ, Oprah, Cosmo
+ Vibe, Traveler, EW, Elle, Details, Essence
+ Mental Floss, Mother Jones
+ ESPN, Men's Health, Car & Driver, Outside, Road & Track, Black Belt

Popular Photography for $9, American Photo for $8 (annual subs)

You can subscribe to one-year (12 months/12 issues) of Popular Photography and Imaging at Amazon for just $9. The regular price is $14, but Amazon has an instant $5 off promotion, so when you reach the Checkout page, the price will drop from $14 to $9. There is no shipping fee for magazines regardless of the amount.

The other benefit of getting this from Amazon is that you can use it to qualify for free shipping. For example, if you get this magazine ($9) and a $17 DVD, you get free shipping on your order ($9 + $17 = $26).

Pop Photo is not the only participating in this promotion, lots of other popular magazines are participating in this promotion, from Brides to GQ to cars, outdoors, sports, business, fashion, science, even some ...unmentionables! There is no limit on the number of $5 instant discounts you can have!

Also available is American Photo for $13 - $5 = $8 for one-year (6 issues).

Books for a penny and with reasonable shipping

A1Books.com is having a book penny sale! The shipping and handling fee for the penny books is reasonable - about $4 for a typical book. Look for the "Books for a penny" orange-copper banner, and then click on the "Arts & Photography" section. Some of the photography-books we noticed (as of the time of writing) that are offered for a penny:

• Thierry Bouet Hotel People (motta Fotografia) [Hardcover] by CACUCCI


• Heather Braginton-Smith [Paperback] by editor Karen Aude


• Amazing Men: Courage, Insight, Endurance [Hardcover] by Joyce Tenneson
  
• Close Friends [Hardcover] by Larry Gianettino


• Main St.: American Retro (American Retro) [Hardcover] by Sourcebooks


• And the usual assortment of Arts books, like Monet (no, not Panasonic Lumix), Renoir, Rubens, Van Dyck, Goya, and more

Please note that presumably because of the penny promotion, the A1Books website is a little bit slower than the average website!
