As a contributor to Links, I have to defend the gang by noting that this stand alone real estate issue has been done before.
Geoff,
I'm glad you chimed in because one of the things that I always like to read in LINKS is your "whats going on" section. I have subscribed to LINKS for about 5 years and apparently never noticed these annual real estate issues.
Adam:
I'm also a regular contributor and I'm a bit surprised at your outrage. This necessary moneymaker has been an annual issue, as others have pointed out. In some circles very important to the life of Links, this is a much-anticipated issue.
To put your comment in perspective, what was THE BEST ISSUE OF LINKS MAG! in your opinion?
Anthony
Anthony,
Good point. I should have qualified what was good to justify what is bad.
The September 2003 cover is a classic (West Coast Heavyweights issue).
The Irish "Pitch and Putt" article from the Jan 2004 issue, is a great 'off-the-beaten-track' highlight.
Jan 2006 issue has a great juxtaposition of the new architects vs the old ("On Site Training" vs "Common Vision, Uncommon Ground" respectively).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to cancel my subscription, but the recent issue rubbed me the wrong way. And Clyde, I agree that the $15.00 annual subscription cannot be beat (but I sure as heck would not pay the $7.50 cover otherwise).
P.S. who cancels SI because of the swimsuit issue? I would have to guess that the swimsuit issue is the #1 issue in SI annual sales.
