Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine

[miserman]

Upon receiving the March 2019 edition of Western and Eastern Treasure Magazine, it was announced in "From The Editor" section that March 2019 would be the last month for printed editions of the magazine. I have enjoyed reading this magazine for over 50 years after having been given hand-me-down copies from my Grandfather in the late 60"s. The magazine had a big part in peaking my interest in the hobby. The articles and photos that were printed monthly helped to drive and inspire me to seek all the treasures that were waiting to be found. Although it will continue to be available in digital format, being able to sit in my favorite chair with a copy in hand will be greatly missed. On the bright side, they have stated that by having issues online only, they will be able to bring more material than would fit in the print magazine. Our hobby is ever changing in many ways, but this latest change feels like a lose and the magazine itself will be greatly missed. ...... Thanks For Looking

I didn't see that in my issue but I'll look again. Lost Treasure has already quit publishing. I heard that they were going digital only but apparently not because they have also shut down their website.

I just recently, (October 2018 ), renewed my subscription to Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine plus paid extra for a copy of their Silver & Gold issue, I paid the higher price to get the hard copies sent to my home. At the time, there was no mention of them going "digital" at all, and if I remember correctly, one "could" subscribe to get "digital" copies for way, way less money. I feel cheated! Now they want to rip us off by offering their on-line crap for the same price as having the actual magazine delivered to your house! I rarely get on this computer, I don't want a "smart phone", I would rather just get a damn refund!
