I emailed ShopNotes and they confirmed this offer so if you are a
current subscriber or are interested in plans/ideas for shop projects
and jig this may be for you.

I learned that often the best offer is at their site. When they send you a
letter for renewal it often is not as good. I simply request to renew at
the rate being offered on their site for new subscribers. Because I have
too many copies of their free books anyway I simply tell them that I am
only
interested in the subscription and index, not the give away stuff.

You're correct. If you go to their site (www.shopnotes.com) and click
the subscribe button you get the offer I posted above (2 years for
$28). But if you click the renew a subscription button they offer you
a 2 year renewal for $39.

Thanks for the tip. When my other magazine comes up I'll do the same.

Another approach is to renew at a magazine discount subscription site and
tell them it is a renewal. The firm I use for most of my subscriptions is ;

They list various offers for each magazine. Unfortunately, they don't list
Shopnotes.
