Beaver
My father sent me a gift subscription to Beaver magazine, and I just can’t resist letting you know that IT’S NOT PORN! I don’t know who named this magazine but they either led a very sheltered life or they have a dark sense of humour… I would have gone with something like “Moose” or “Great White North” or even “Dominion”, but no one asked me. The magazine is published by the Canada History Society and is really great quality on heavy paper with many full-colour photos and graphics. It’s not an overly thick magazine, but as it contains no advertising you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. The articles are well-written and entertaining, so it’s great for a history buff but still tolerable for someone who just likes a good story. I’m both a history buff and someone who likes to read, so I’ve enjoyed my first issue and look forward to the other 5 to be delivered over the course of the next year. I’m still concerned about the name of the magazine, though… next thing you know, someone will start a magazine called “Willy” and claim that it’s about whales.
I love “The Beaver”. It was a staple back when I was doing my undergrad in Canadian history, although I always felt weird having it sitting out when a date came over to the house. LOL
I no longer have a subscription, but I do like to read it online! :o)
