 BBC History magazine
I love this magazine.
Covers a wide array of topics, from medieval to WWI and WWII.
Very well written and researched.
I'm a loyal subscriber
 british rubbish.
I bought a subscription as I thought this magazine would cover "World/Ancient" history when that was NOT the case. This magazine covers various aspects of world history/ancient as well but its focused on Britannia history. Very boring. I did not renew my subscription and was disappointed with every issue. Furthermore, there is more advertising than there are articles..........what a joke of a magazine. Rubbish.
 Great magazine at a great price
I too recently subscribed to BBC History Magazine through Amazon and had no problems. It's a colorful magazine full of interesting and lively articles and stimulating ideas. Indirectly, I also see BBC History Magazine as a kind of travel magazine. There are lots of historical places I want to check out after reading a few issues. Highly recommended!
Beautiful magazine, full of interesting things
I have been getting BBC History magazine for a few years now. I wanted to rebut the previous reviewer who had subscription problems. I did my renewal through Amazon in April 2007 and have no problems at all, and it was much cheaper (nearly half price) than through the BBC History subscription agent directly. I have never missed an issue, and it comes in a plastic wrapper so the issues don't get wet or damaged.
The magazine is full of great, many 5-page articles on all topics of world history, not just UK. There are book reviews, articles on travel to historic sites and more. Many color illustrations, on heavy paper.
 The Magazine is great, But the subsciptions service is not!
I really enjoy this magazine, so much so that I asked for it as a gift for Christmas. But, as of ten months later I have not recieved any of the magazines. If you want a subscription for BBC History my suggestion is to contact the magazine directly, especially if you live in the U.S. I have contacted the magazine department at Amazon and have not received any real response. This was supposed to be a gift subscription. It was not worth the money.
