Newbooks
|
|
I found a new (to me) magazine in Borders yesterday called 'newbooks'. It's aimed at readers and reading clubs and although I bought number 46 I haven't seen it before. It is interesting - includes extracts (couple of pages long) from some new books which give a flavour and interviews with writers etc....has anyone else seen it?

Hi Ashbee (new name?!),
A year's subscription for 'newbooks' (6 issues) was one of my Christmas presents (and a very thoughtful present!). I really enjoy the articles about writers and the extracts from new books. I expect you noticed that you can claim a free paperback and buy paperbacks from the 'garage sale' for £2.50. All the titles are relatively new (not old rubbish!) and orders are delivered in about a week. I think the magazine is great for avid readers!

Definately a thoughtful gift! Better than bath salts any day. I'll be keeping an eye out for the next issue...
(PS a slight amendment to the screen name...I'm not very imaginative but I've gone back to the old way of spelling the name)

Hello jdm and Ashbee,like the sound of the magazine"Newbooks" but cant say that I have ever heard of it,is it just a store magazine(dont think I have ever seen a Borders shop either)or can it be bought from independant newsagents?Certainly agree that it sounds a good idea for a gift so a little 'info' would be great-----please.

I have just been on their website, and it looks really good, I am taking them up on their offer. For a free copy of magazine, also a couple of mags are available to download for free. Just put new books in your search engine!

I'm a subscriber to New Books and I really enjoy it. Their books offers are very good value.

I took this magazine on subscription for a year, but then got bored with it to be honest and didn't enjoy it that much. But I know lots of people who really like it, so it's obviously a matter of personal choice. I get bored easily!!

I only discovered this mag at the weekend but am curious why you changed your mind about it Gothfairy - it made a change from the usual highbrow literary mags but I wondered if it might just publish the same sort of stuff every time?
