Just got the premiere issue of Arts & Crafts Homes, a new magazine from the same folks who make Old House Interiors. Several things recommend it over American Bungalow, which I do also enjoy – better quality printing and sharper photographs; far better typography and better laid-out pages (in fact, generally better art direction than most home magazines, and more sensitivity to the subtleties of type); a wider range of subject material – they are not quite as orthodox as Style 1900 and American Bungalow; and a better article-to-ad ratio. Of course, that last one could simply be a symptom of this being the firsts issue, so I’ll have to keep reading to find out if it stays true.
It’s definitely worth picking up a copy; the current issue has extensive articles on Chicago bungalows, new work from a California artisans guild (including Debey Zito) and lots (really!) more.
Am I missing something? That link you provided offers subscriptions for $39.65 ($9.91/issue). How is that better than $7/issue? Did the price change on Amazon after you posted this item?
Even the subscription options from the magazine’s website are a better deal ($29/ year) — though still not cheaper than the cover price unless you opt for 2 or 3 years.
Thanks Keith – link removed.

I have been charged on my credit card for my subscription, however, did not receive the first issue. I noticed that it is out in the bookstores. Can you help?
