  • Subscription - Advanced Photoshop

    This is kind of expensive, it's a magazine printed in the UK.

  • Subscription - Photoshop Creative

    Another UK magazine, also kind of expensive.

  • Subscription - Digital Photographer

    Yet another UK magazine, from the same publisher even.

  • Subscription - Digital Camera

    The UK produces the best magazines, don't they?

  • Subscription - Outdoor Photographer

    $15 for one year. Hurray! A magazine printed in the USA, with a cheap subscription price! Not as good as the European magazines, but it'll do.

  • Subscription - Practical Photography

    Yup, another UK photography magazine, wish they made magazines like this in the good ol' USA.

  • The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide

    $25 from the LEGO store, but I'll bet you can find it elsewhere.
