Tohru Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I like the idea of these magazines, however just can't seem to hit the check out button. Has any one used this series? What ages? Was it worth the cost? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjarnold Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I like the idea of these magazines, however just can't seem to hit the check out button. Has any one used this series? What ages? Was it worth the cost? I have a good friend whose 12yo son has a subscription to this magazine. He loves it and reads it from cover to cover. We did borrow a copy once to consider subscribing to and found it good, but not amazing. My history professor-husband described it as being good amateur-level writing, meaning not bad for a journal not written by professional historians. (Not sure if that made sense. I haven't had my morning quota of coffee yet.) If you think it would inspire your kids to love history, then I'd say go for it. If you're still on the fence, then it's probably smart that you haven't hit the Check Out button yet. Hope this helps, Tiffany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjarnold Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Could you ask your local library to subscribe to it? Tiffany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Why not order a single issue copy about the most relevant subject, or one your family is most interested in, to check it out? I only buy single copies. If you are on their mailing list they will occasionally have sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
