I used to be a subscriber to House and Home Magazine quite a few years ago but let my subscription lapse as I was not pleased with the amount of advertising that was contained within.
Yesterday, I bought the October issue for $5.50 and found almost 200 pages of advertising. I see things have not changed.

I agree with the last post - the advertisements can quite often give you a great idea also. I have bookmarked many websites that I have seen in the advertisments in H&H that really helped us when we were looking for furniture. Loved the last issue by the way (but then I love them all :-)
I have found that although there is more than enough pages of advertising, I still get a months worth of enjoyment out of the magazine, and every now and then, I find an ad that answers a design dilemma for me :-)
I think advertising is a necessary evil! :-)
