Many people who are interested in cooking and food are probably interested in the whole ‘shelter’ area - home design, architecture, crafts, gardening, and all kinds of domestic subjects. At least, I am. So it was very sad news indeed to hear that House & Garden [1] will cease publication as of the December 2007 issue - even though I haven’t picked up an issue for longer than I can remember. (I guess there were lots of people like me in that respect, which is a reason why they did fold.) The web site [2] is still up, though there’s no indication of how long it will be there.
For people interested in the past history of this venerable publication, The Online Books Page [3] has a list of links to archived editions from 1911 to 1922 [4]. Browsing through those old pages makes for some fascinating reading.
