After taking into account that the U.S. dollar is worth less than the British pound and then adding the cost of importing, buying a British craft mag can get expensive to the tune of ~$10/issue. U.S. AntiCrafter fans of YARN forward or the new Inside Crochet will be happy (in a jaded and cynical way, of course) to know they have heard your cries for electronic (and therefore, cheaper) copies.

Edited to add a hint from Shannon: "I find, on my Mac, that going to the 'Thumbnails' section and navigating to there is easiest, since in the preview, not all pages are available, and that way you can also see the 'greyed out' pages." I'm a Mac user as well, and this worked for me.
