Should I resubscribe to Architectural Digest?
I love the magazine, and I've gotten it for a few years and loved every issue of it and even saved them all.

But it's $29.95 a year, and I'm just not sure if it's worth the price.

If I could get it for $19, I'd be good to go. Maybe even $24.

What think thee of the DU?

1. Go For It!

Fine architecture is ART!
30$ a year for a chance to transcend the ordinary with each issue is cheap therapy!
I'm a former geodesic builder/dweller.

2. Architectural Digest doesn't have much to do about architecture
It's more about interior design.

Southern Accents and Veranda are similar magazines (I like their style better, BTW). I don't know how their prices compared to AD.

4. Yeah, it really is much more about the interior design
I wish they did more with the actual floor layouts and construction of the places, and not so much on how the interior was designed. Still, I love the pictures and what I've learned from it.

But I wish there was a magazine similar to it, but that actually focused on the architecture.

But maybe that's "Home Interior Digest".

3. The continent is sinking under the weight of stacks
of back issues of Architectural Digest and National Geographic. Everybody saves them, nobody wants anyone else's.
Somehow, looking into rich people's apartments that were designed with the express purpose of being in AD leaves me cold.
