Call it nostalgia....

Call it nostalgia, or just maybe getting older and looking for magazines that I remember from visits to my aunt's house. She always had The People's Friend and Woman's Weekly, and I'd find myself a corner and a piece of one of her wonderful apple tarts and lose myself for an hour....the magazines were then passed on to my mum, (another wonderful cook and crafter), who duly passed them on again to another aunt.....reuse and recycle for the 1970s!! So, here I am, trying to refresh my love of crafts, reading and cooking by going back to my favourites from my youth....but I like the digital versions because a lot of newsagents only seem to want to stock the glossier monthly magazines, but not the ones I want to read, so, online is the way to go. I can access them any time, and they don't get dog-eared!! Pocketmags is a great website with a huge selection of magazines and periodicals, all available as a stand alone issue, or with subscriptions. Either way, you'll find what you want at a good price. Enjoy!

This was my first use with PocketMags - I was not impressed

This was my first use with PocketMags, and I wanted the 3D Make and Print Digital download, it was a good price and I duly paid it. The digital copy was added to my library, however I am unable to print it ALL to my printer OR ALL to PDF, and if I try to download the pages, I am restricted to 8, and whilst I get a PDF file, it is 1k and won't print as it says it is corrupted. I emailed they customer support and it has now been 2 days. I will gladly update this review if this problem is resolved and I even reached out to Magazine Direct to see if they can help, as I noticed they also sell the publication.
