i recently received my first issue of Black&White Photography,
to which subscribed sight unseen, and i must say it's a real pleasure.  
imagine a magazine with more photographs than product placement!
it motivates one to get out and take photos, or down in the darkroom
to make prints, instead of featuring endless product placements and 
shootouts.

i had never heard of it (i am in the USA) and would like to thank
the group for recommending it.
