Consumer Magazines of the British Isles Riley, Sam G.

This reference volume offers a sample of the current British magazine market, providing detailed profiles of fifty magazines and supplementary data on many others. The separately profiled magazines range from the venerable The Scots Magazine (1739), Spectator (1828), and Punch (1841) to newcomers of the 1980s like Country Living, Prima, Q, and House Beautiful. Included are major circulation leaders like Radio Times, Smash Hits, and Women's Own, prestigious and influential journals like The Economist and New Scientist, regional magazines like Cumbria and The Dalesman, general interest magazines, and a wide variety of magazines in targeted subject categories. Each essay consists of a narrative history and concludes with information sources and publishing data such as periodicity and title changes, editors and publishers, and circulation. Appendixes categorize the magazines, by date of founding and by subject; succinct data on 330 additional magazines appears in a directory.
