I noticed right at the top of the .pdf it states "a new magazine" with "no
ads". It's going to have to be an exceptional magazine if it's going to
survive without advertising of some sort.

Consumer Reports and Practical Sailor are a couple of rags that survive
without paid advertising.

Don't know about the latter, the former is essentially useless imo--at
least they and I almost never agree in their assessments...

Shopnotes and Woodsmith really don't have much advertising. I like
Woodworking magazine and will probably subscribe to it.

Try the free issue.

I did. It's fine, but that's not the point. Most new magazines come out with
interesting stuff. It's maintaining that level of quality and getting in
enough cash flow to keep the magazine going that will determine it's
longevity.

I agree. "Woodworking" has been around since 2004.

No, it's going to be an EXPENSIVE magazine. They have to make their
money somewhere and if it doesn't come from advertisers, it's going to
come from consumers.

Not going to be, "IS" 4 issues for $20 is pretty high. Having said that
most all the WW magazines I subscribe to are pretty expensive. You
generally get what you pay for.

Has anyone seen the cover price of most magazines?

Depends on what you compare it to. Many mags are cheaper, some even
down to about $1/issue on eBay or with multi-year specials. And they
may be worth it at that price. However, per-issue, Woodworking comes
out about the same as Fine Woodworking, right? IMO, Woodworking is a
far nicer publication (especially compared to recent FWWs), and the
lack of ads is a nice bonus. I have all 8 issues published so far,
and would happily give away the rest of my WW mag collection (and many
of my WW books) before I gave up these 8 issues.
I subscribed as soon as I got the email.

Content has nothing to do with ads and honestly, I'd much rather see
the ads because I often find out about new products that way. No ads
isn't a selling point for me at all.

That's $5/issue. Not horrible. Compare this to other magazines (there's
one dedicated to Linux I'm thinking of) that want almost $10 an issue.
It is, however, ultimately up to you whether or not it's worth the money.
You may enjoy $5 worth of screws more this month. *shrug*

I've purchased three already and I don't consider them over priced. The
cover price on Woodworking is the same as the popular magazines that are
mostly advertising.

Woodsmith has been around for a long time and they don't have advertisers.

It's "Popular Woodworking" on steroids.

I check out all the woodworking magazis when I'm in the store.
Even a few of the craft magazines. But I think it's been over a year
since I bought ANY woodworking magazines. Quit subscribing to all but
one many years ago.
The one woodworking magazine I subscribe to is WoodenBoat. Lovely
woodworking, and excellent dream material. I used to get National
Fisherman, many, many years back, and they always had some fascinating
wooden boat plans, ranging from rowboats, up to large boats. I think
I'll try checking that out again.

By the way, WoodenBoat recently had a very interesting article on
shellac, and it's use in batbuilding - quite a bit of which could be
applied to 'conventional' woodworking.
