Magazines  

Design Addicts website
offers far superior modern design information/ knowledge than any magazine possibly could, so I no longer subscribe to design mag's (which are chock-full-o ad's).

ps. (sidenote) my current preferred cooking mag's are "The Art of Food" and "Lucky Peach". I still receive Dwell for some reason.

There used to be Echoes and Modernism. Now there is Atomic Ranch (which I think is pretty crappy" and Modern Magazine, which I like.

Generally magazines are not really about the thing, they are about marketing to the people that wish to identify with the thing. This means that periodicals these days kinda have limited content value by definition.
I suppose that this answer isn't much use to you, but that's the point, I guess.

YOU ARE A TARGET MARKET.

not really
they tend towards "what a neat room!" rather than detailed info.

I figured as much. On my hunt for such a periodical I've been frequently let down. I am in fact looking for something that comes much closer to a referential source than a pandering interior design magazine.
Thanks for the help.

Modern
Is really the only current print magazine that I'm aware of that is dedicated to the modern collector and enthusiast audience.
Print magazines are rapidly dying. A few good ones already lost.

Mid Century

Modern Magazine stopped publishing
about a year ago. Request your refunds for unfulfilled subs. Too bad.

Midcentury magazine here
in the UK but I am sure you can subscribe to it from overseas.

Thanks for the info. Didn't think it would last.

Bo Bedre is great but
I dunno about getting it outside Denmark.
Also, it's in Danish but a picture is worth a thousand words (in Danish).

oh, wait-
Bo Bedre's website is way more extensive than it was the last time I looked at it. It's not the same as thumbing through an actual magazine, but still--and with google.translate.com you don't need to read Danish to get the content (though it's a little tedious to C&P).
"Stue, spisestue og køkken er efter ombygningen lagt sammen til ét stort opholdsrum. De forskellige zoner er markeret med lyse sisal-gulvtæpper fra Ikea. Sofaen er fra Søren Lund. Sofabordet hedder Giro og produceres af Zanotta. Stolen er Hans J. Wegners Butterfly."
"Living room, dining room and kitchen are following conversion merged into one big living room. The different zones are marked with bright sisal rugs from Ikea. The sofa is from Søren Lund. The coffee table is called Giro and produced by Zanotta. The chair is Wegner Butterfly."

Modernism Magazine stopped...
Modernism Magazine stopped publishing....I believe Modern Magazine is still in publication. It is a really good magazine from a collectors standpoint...A year subscription is $10 and well worth it.
