LRF's post about Modern Magazine has me looking for other good design magazines. I already subscribe to Atomic Ranch, and I devour each issue. What design mags do you like?
Modernism magazine
Modernism magazine is pretty good. Their old issues are available online.

Old issues of Arts & Architecture, Domus, Abitare, Graphis, Architecture Record's "Record Houses," Progressive Architecture and Interiors are what I enjoy. I don't really look at many new periodicals other than Modernism, Atomic Ranch, Dwell, and Monocle
I'll second that.
I like looking at modernism's roots, and heyday, "in the original." Period periodicals (sorry) provide that in spades: no "reinterpretations" or guesses about what's genuine -- and the ambience of contemporary advertising and entourage (cars, food, appliances, etc) are genuinely and unavoidably "of the period." One gets the full flavor of the day -- seen perhaps in the light of commercial interests.
Indeed, one can narrow down the date of introduction of a particular item of furnishing, say, quite precisely -- if that becomes an issue (another pun, I suppose).
It's unfortunate that libraries which preserve back issues of such magazines, tend to have them bound into annual volumes -- which makes it difficult to photocopy or photograph full pages of memorable material. . .
GA
-- Global Architecture, a Japanese publication -- appears at intervals as GA Houses (both built and projected), and GA Document, which contains larger work. Wonderful documentation of work from around the world. Modernism is very much alive and well, and thriving, on many fronts. I see these expensive magazines at my local big-city library. . .
