Magazine Subscriptions

So many magazines have nearly identical names that the exact title is the single most important part of your request — for research and especially for a purchase. If Barnes & Noble doesn't carry it, we'll tell you about similar magazines instead.

For each magazine, we return the vendor's subscription rates, the magazine cover, and its description — everything you need to decide before spending subscription money.

The period between issues is set by the publisher, and longer subscriptions usually cost less per issue — so our research includes every duration option the Barnes & Noble newsstand offers.

Many subscriptions through Barnes & Noble run 60–80% off newsstand prices. We never mark up vendor prices, and vendor advisories are included with our research. Prices are subject to change without notice.

Send a kite with the exact magazine title and the duration you want. The subscription fee is $6.00 per subscription ordered. We process orders within 24 hours, so there isn't time to mail us an alteration afterward.

Magazines ship directly from the vendor to your institutional address. Monthly subscriptions typically begin arriving in 8–12 weeks — that delay belongs to the publisher, not to us, so please be patient before inquiring.

A subscription can also be ordered as a gift delivered to someone on the street — show a friend or family member you appreciate their support.

It is your responsibility to make sure a publication is within your institution's policy guidelines. We are not liable for rejected magazines and do not refund rejections; the only refunds are for orders cancelled by a vendor.
