If you love art, why aren't you reading this?
This magazine does a great job covering contemporary art, especially in areas of the United States that often get overlooked by other publications. Especially refreshing is the subject matter, which is always new and relevant. Another great thing is the magazine covers a wide range of art (performance, music, visual, conceptual, etc.)with focus and clarity. ... Read more

Scroll Sawing
I bougth this magine to find different things to fill my time after becoming diabled. After I started to read the magazine I became hooked on scroll sawing. I bought Creative Woodworks& Crafts when ever I had the money, and I have kept all the issues that I could afford. I checked out all the advertisements on different scroll saws that advertized in the magazine, the ones advertised were perty expensive. I looked around at other stores and found one I could afford. I used the patterns from the magazine with any wood that came along that would work. It seemed that I at the machine all day doing different projests until the saw broke. When my saw was being repaired I continued to buy the magazine and had some surgery, when I returned home the saw was repaired, now I just hsve to wait until I'm well enough to work on the saw again. While I was laid up I was able to reread the magazines over a few times. I feel that this magazine that started me scroll sawing was a God send and really helped me through some rough times being disabled.

An Amazing String of Creative Projects!
I first subscribed to this magazine when I bought my scrollsaw and have kept getting it ever since. There are lots of patterns and projects in each issue for scrollers, carvers and intarsia. They have about a dozen regular contributors and guests who are successful crafters in these genres - Dirk Boelman, Judy Gayle Roberts and a host of others.

Most projects include a set of plans that pull out of the centerfold. Painting and finishing instructions are included as well. Many inovative projects, such as intarsia created with Corian and multi-level scroll-cut scenes have been included in the past.

If you have a scrollsaw, carving set, airbrush or other tools of creativity and are wondering what to do next with them, this magazine will give you the answer every time it arrives. I'll bet you keep your back issues around, too - "someday I'm going to make that ..." ... Read more

A Great Magazine For The Music Enthusiast
Goldmine is a music magazine that caters to record collectors. The cover stories and articles deal with all types of music (rock, r & b, pop, country, jazz, reggae, punk, alternative, etc.) with the greatest emphasis on artists who were popular in the '60s and '70s. Recent cover stories include interviews with surviving members of the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, the Four Seasons, and the Dave Clark 5's lead singer Mike Smith. There are also annual issues devoted to Elvis Presley and the Beatles.

Each issue of Goldmine contains reviews on recent cd releases (new product and reissues/collections). There are also country and jazz sections that contain interviews with vintage artists (recent country interviews include Bobby Bare, Guy Clark, and Merle Haggard) and cd reviews. The country section also provides helpful info like upcoming tv appearance and cd release dates, while the jazz section offers esoteric essays from jazz historian Carlo Wolff. Dahl's Digs is one of my favorite columns, where celebrated author Bill Dahl (Motown: The Golden Years) "digs" up some rare musical treasures from the past that have been recently reissued (or should be).

Since Goldmine is a magazine for record collectors, there are a number of ads by vendors who carry rare/promo vinyl and cds, as well as a classified section where you can state what you're looking for (I have bought some rare radio promo collections this way). If you like a lot of genres of music, especially music recorded during the '50s through the '80s, then I think you will enjoy Goldmine.

Highly Enjoyable

Great resource for large format photographers of all levels
I am sorry to see that the previous reviewer had a problem with his subscription. I always get my issues, although they may show up at the bookstore before they are end up in my mailbox. But it's a small publisher, so some hick-ups are to be expected.
The magazine itself is always a joy and a great resource. The articles are well written, and the quality of the illustrations is excellent. It is always an inspiration to see what can be done in large format bbeyond the obvious calendar photography. One thing that sets this magazine apart from many other photo rags is the fact that they also review older products that aren't sold anymore by their advertizers. Large format technology (aside from digital) is fairly mature, and there is no reason why a 40 year old lens shouldn't do a good job for your needs. View Camera tells you which lenses are great finds, and which cameras will do the job.
I can only recommend that people interested in LF photography read a couple of issues of View Camera. They will come away with a good impression of what is involved, and if they finally step up to large format, they will be able to save a bundle by knowing what the used LF market has to offer

Never Received
I ordered the subscription to this magazine months ago and never received a copy. Don't waste your money or time, go to a bookstore and buy it. I emailed both amazon and the supplier, nothing has been done. Very disappointing. ... Read more
