I dropped my subscription a year or two ago and had one for 3 or 4 years before that.
This was really the magazine that introduced me to the joys of the silver age. When I started to get into buying older books, I would often add books to my want list based on columns in CBG.
I even did a 'fan reviews' article once for them. My first published work!
Will miss that they are there. Hopefully something else comes along to scratch my itch for history on older books.

I still had a sub and will finish it out with some issues of Antique trader that I'll likely toss directly into the recycle bin.
I think the day of print magazines is over, the Internet has done them in.
Newsweek stopped print publication also.
The really sad part to me is they are ending on #1699. Would have been nice to have stuck it out one more month to go out with #1700, I like the round numbers.

Here are thoughts from long time CBG contributor Tony Isabella:

Very cursory for now. He'll have more to say tomorrow.
