Daylight Magazine

Choosing to express the realities of life through pictures rather than words, Daylight magazine captures the mood and atmosphere of today’s greatest political and social topics. The visual editorials of Daylight serve to lend a human element to issues buried in lines and lines of black ink. The squared-off 8” x 8” size of the magazine works well for the emphasis on pictures, reading almost like a photobook. Although Daylight carries with it a $10 cover price, readers are paying for a publication with a wealth of dynamic visual content.

In addition to information about spas and golf courses, readers will be privy to advice from the Travelsavers chain of independent travel agencies. Expert advice combined with excellent visuals and a consistent, uniform layout make this publication well worth the $12.99 cover price

NASCAR Puzzles & Games

When is a puzzle magazine more than just puzzles? When it has NASCAR attached to its name. NASCAR Puzzles & Games is your average, run of the mill puzzle game book, complete with crosswords, wordfinds, mazes and more. However, tack the NASCAR name on it and you have a unique publication; Unique enough to carry a $4.99 cover price. That’s three dollars more than your average puzzle magazine.

Just as NASCAR itself “is one gigantic, colorful puzzle” for the drivers racing in it, “it’s also a heck of a lot of fun for everybody involved.” Now you can get involved in NASCAR through the world of puzzles.

Robb Report Vacation Homes

If you’ve got a lot of money (and we mean lots of money) and an affinity for homes to go with those piles of money, this is the publication for you. Robb Report Vacation Homes is geared toward an audience of affluent, upper class readers looking to purchase a second home. You’ll learn how to round out your property portfolio and acquire a home for nearly every occasion, whether it’s “at the beach, on a golf course, a mountain chalet or a fishing lodge.”

Argosy, Black Clock, WSQJ

If you classify yourself as a content nut, look no further than this trio of literary magazines. Each with a different delivery and subject matter, they justify their high cover prices with pages upon pages of dense literary content. The digest-sized Argosy is a cross-genre literary fiction magazine with an antique feel to the design. WSQJ, or Wordsmitten Quarterly Journal, delivers writing tips and opinions on how to navigate the world of literary publishing, in addition to short stories by contributing writers. Black Clock is by far the most artistic and vague of the three, providing poetry and short stories in a package whose design rivals the creativity of the stories themselves. Black Clock presents each story in a format that’s easy to read and handle, allowing readers to actually enjoy the pages upon pages of content.
