Fine Woodworking Magazine

Hi John,
We have a used bookstore here in the Phoenix area who will buy them at 25 cents each and resells them for $2.00 each.  Other that that in my travels I have not seen much action on the resale of wood working magazines.  I have a full library back in CT of WOOD, Woodsmith, and a fair accumulation of FWW magazines and do not know of  an outlet to sell them in my area.  I have also seen them given to woodworking clubs to sell as fundraisers.  Good luck and let us know what you finally decide to do with them.

Speaking aa a person with boxes of old magazines..............     They are only valuable if you can easily go back and refer to them for needed material.  For example, there was an article in FWW several years ago about making a spray booth.  Go find that in your stack.  I can't.  I did receive the CD version about 10 years ago for Christmas and find the digital version easy to navigate, search and dig out information.  I have given away old issues of multiple publications to fellow woodworkers figuring that if the info is many years old, it will probably be repeated or is outdated.

Now, my wife would love for me to clean out the 5ft stack in the corner of my closet that hasn't even made it to boxes yet.

Speaking of digital versions.  FWW is excellent.  Easy to use, search and retrieve info.  I have the Wood magazine version from several years ago and found its searchability lacking.  Can't speak to any others.

My grandparents used to keep magazines in their outhouse to use to wipe.
