BBC History Magazine

I too recently subscribed to BBC History Magazine through Amazon and had no problems. It's a colorful magazine full of interesting and lively articles and stimulating ideas. Indirectly, I also see BBC History Magazine as a kind of travel magazine. There are lots of historical places I want to check out after reading a few issues. Highly recommended!

I have been getting BBC History magazine for a few years now. I wanted to rebut the previous reviewer who had subscription problems. I did my renewal through Amazon in April 2007 and have no problems at all, and it was much cheaper (nearly half price) than through the BBC History subscription agent directly. I have never missed an issue, and it comes in a plastic wrapper so the issues don't get wet or damaged.

The magazine is full of great, many 5-page articles on all topics of world history, not just UK. There are book reviews, articles on travel to historic sites and more. Many color illustrations, on heavy paper.

I really enjoy this magazine, so much so that I asked for it as a gift for Christmas. But, as of ten months later I have not recieved any of the magazines. If you want a subscription for BBC History my suggestion is to contact the magazine directly, especially if you live in the U.S. I have contacted the magazine department at Amazon and have not received any real response. This was supposed to be a gift subscription. It was not worth the money.
