You're gonna know pretty quick that I don't have too much to do today after reading this. I always wondered what the actual makeup was of any magazine so why not use Antique Power Magazine as a topic of study. It is probably pretty much the same as any "hobby-topic" magazine so I took an old back issue and started counting pages.

And I know that this is what pays the freight, I don't think much is made from the actual magazine sales themselves. It must cost a ton of money to publish a high-quality magazine like that one. Just thought it might be interesting for you.
