Book excerpt: This volume provides concise, in-depth histories of 106 of the most significant mass-market or general magazines in the United states--both active periodicals and those which have ceased publication. Included are magazines of wide audience appeal (e.g., People) as well as major tabloids, Sunday supplement magazines, regional magazines, and the most widely read publications devoted to specific audiences (e.g., Mechanix Illustrated) with a circulation of over 100,000. Emphasizes the modern mass-market periodical, but thirty-three titles have been included that were established or whose entire existence occurred in the 19th century. Profiles are arranged alphabetically by magazine title with cross references to title variations. In many instances, the history included here is the only source of information on the magazine covered. In others, large amounts of material written over the years have been consolidated, and along with accompanying bibliographies serve as a definitive source on the magazines in question. Locations have been provided in cases that might prove problematic. An indispensable resource for journalism students and researchers.
