Only the first year or two was really wholesome, and then the ads started coming...the ads that made it no different than cosmo or bhg...just junky looking ads. At least they could have tried to make up an ad that looked like a Victorian ad, with borders around it and Victorian etchings or art...instead it was ads for liquor and ads for cars and adsLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-60074509744028045152008-06-05T18:04:00.000-07:002008-06-05T18:04:00.000-07:00It was good of Hoffman Media to revive a beloved t...It was good of Hoffman Media to revive a beloved title, but I too felt it was much too advertisement-driven. Many of the "articles" are just longhanded ads rather than having content, and the writing is not of the same quality. I do hope they improve. Years back, I took Victoria and Southern Lady (another Hoffman title) and found the same contrast.

I don't remember the name, but I was planning to order some after a while, and now I don't see them listed.

You wouldn't be tempted to set a coffee cup on top of one or tear out a page or clip anything. Also the older ones had frames around the features, and sometimes they included a scripture from the poetry section of the Bible (Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-85243508337429254292008-06-04T07:56:00.000-07:002008-06-04T07:56:00.000-07:00Have you gotten the new Victoria magazine yet?

I had never read the older ones, but my library had several of the books (holiday, decorating) that were collabarations of the magazines, and I adored all of them.<BR/><BR/>When I heard Victoria was coming back, I got the first issue for free, and I was sadly disappointed. It held tons of ads, too many compared to the articles, and the magazine as a Mom of Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627718714138307815noreply@blogger.com
