storing magazines

I have a giant stack of New York Review of Books and London Review of Books but don't have a good way of storing them. They are oversize periodicals, so it's trickier than regular sized magazines.

Any ideas?

Can you find magazine holders that are open on the front as well as the top? That would accommodate oversize periodicals.

Something like this:

IKEA has that same style made of metal reinforced paperboard for a fraction on the cost.

I'm sure they do; I was just looking for a picture to demonstrate what I was describing.

As I don't live in a hangar I long ago gave up on the idea of storing periodicals. And as I've got older I find myself increasingly asking (not just in the periodical context) "when did I last use that?". If the answer is "so long ago I can't remember" I often just throw it away. But subscribers to many periodicals, including London Review of Books often have full online access so can copy the articles they are interested to a hard drive. Not an option to suit everybody perhaps but it works for me (in the past things would go in the attic, now the the hard drive is a "virtual" attic).

As a scrapbooker as well as a book adict I have found that I tend to take the interesting parts out and put them in a scrapbook, throwing the rest of the periodical away. I know it sounds like sacralidge but
*it does cut down on the necessary storage space
*Gives me a reason to look through them all again
*stops my husband from leaving me
*and importantly stops the hose looking like a mad catwoman lives in it.

After saying that I managed to lay my hands on some cardboard boxes that were just the right size

Consider dropping off periodicals your finished with at the local public library. Recent periodicals and older ones that are still relevent are usually gladly accepted. Our local has a rack for donated periodicals that you can take from anytime and bring them back or not as you wish.

Os.

It amazed me sometimes that I live in a country where a library is offended when I offer them periodicals, books or dvds.

>5 PossMan: PossMan I have a lot about the London Review of Books - is it worth the subscription - (there is also a NY Review of Books). I have just that they don't do many review of books but rather general commentary.

Anyone have experience with The Book Collector?

ironjaw #8: I think you're right about the tone. I got a subscription at a very cheap rate so I'm fairly happy with what I'm getting but not sure that I will want to renew — certainly not at the full rate. Reviews are often much later than in the general press. But often very lengthy and as you have heard are not always to the immediate point of the book itself but often discuss the wider issues. There's generally one article in each issue of interest (to me), but not always. The subscription gives full internet access to the archive and I'm intending to look up articles on some of the books I've had for quite a time. Both in the contents pages of the paper product and on the website it's interesting that they often give more prominence to the names of reviewers/article writers than to the titles or authors of the books being discussed which is perhaps an insight into their mindset. And because of the length of the reviews only a small number of books are reviewed each issue often quite a while after publication - the last issue had a review of "The Pregnant Widow" by Martin Amis which has been out for quite a while. Perhaps try to get hold of a couple of issues or look at the website (off my head it's www.lrb.co.uk) before you commit.
