I subscribe to BBC History magazine and am still just finishing up the November issue. You seem to get yours much earlier through the post than we do. I recycle this terrific magazine through three different friends here, so they are still circulating through the Niagara Region from months ago.
It is the best of the various history magazine to which I subscribe. I look forward to the Christmas issue.
