Each month, Magweb.com uploads an average of 22 magazines (over 100 articles a week), so the content-rich site remains fresh and valuable to anyone with an interest in military history and war-related products. MagWeb's reach is global, with members in 34 different countries.
Because it contains solely content and no ads in the subscribers' area, MagWeb can be compared to a premium cable channel, according to Russ Lockwood, CEO of Magweb.com.
"Although there are some quality shows on free TV," says Lockwood, "The best programs are often found in cable. Similarly, people are willing to pay a small price for full access to hard-to-find magazines, saving them from wasting time wandering the Web. Our premium site helps you research faster, the product reviews help you buy smarter, and the electronic format makes it easier to use what you find. And there are no banner ads, pop-up ads, or other advertisements on the inside."
Other recent additions to the MagWeb.com archive include: KTB (U-Boats and submarine history), Time Portal Passages (all eras of military history) The Armchair General (all eras--now out of print, published in late '60s-early 70's), Europa (WWII), Cry Havoc (an all eras Special Interest Group publication from MENSA), and a number of small product-oriented newsletters covering books, games, toy soldiers, and other items. In all, MagWeb.com members can access over 15,000 articles in the archive.
"Paying an annual print subscription to all of Magweb's 75 magazines would total over $1,200--assuming you can even find the out-of-print journals," says Lockwood. "Our search engine, subject index, and newly revised interface design make finding a particular article or subject a lot easier than flipping through years of musty back issues in a library. We are able to deliver a treasure trove of downloadable military history and product information from global sources, 24 hours per day, at over 90% off list price."
MagWeb, now in its 4th year of operation, provides easy access to a multitude of military history and product magazines such as Age of Napoleon, The Courier, Campaign, Battlefields, First Empire, Saga, Lone Warrior, Conflict, Seven Years War Association Journal, English Civil War Times, and The Zouave. Award-winning MagWeb is the only web site of its kind offering unlimited access and downloading to an ever-expanding archive of over 15,000 articles from more than 75 magazines from the US, UK, and now Canada for under $5 per month ($59.95 for 12 months). A 1-month subscription is $19.95, and 3- and 6-month subscriptions are $34.95 and $49.95. A list of all magazines plus sample articles from each may be viewed at no charge at http://www.magweb.com.
