While I agree with the other reviewer that this is a truly marvelous and inspirational magazine, the potential buyer should be aware that this offer is just for the magazine subscription. SNAG membership plus subscription is twice the price as the magazine alone - unless you happen to be "attending an accredited educational institution full-time."

Whether you are a professional, student, or just interested in metalsmithing and jewelry, this is the magazine to subscribe to. I have been continually pleased with it and have found myself looking through back issues for ideas or just to admire. I am especially pleased with the annual exhibition in print that has an open juried exhibit within the magazine. You really get the chance to see the up and coming artists and fatastic new ideas.

Sponsored by the Society of North American Goldsmiths(SNAG), it is well funded with quality glossy paper and full color images. The articles may be a little short or lacking in content some of the time, and it may have more advertisements than desirable, but they are easily overlooked.

What, you still haven't decided? Ok, they also offer a student discount and full membership with SNAG (worth the subscription price in itself), information on conferences and events, hard to find vendors information (some of them I would never have heard of, even with the internet!), and did I mention the quality of the printed page?! Go, go now, subscribe. You won't regret it.

Would never know about available products for metalsmithing that come on the market without this resource.

This is the magazine that my friends and I wait for every month. It is inspiring and informative, I am one pleased customer.
