I read on social media that Dell was sending their magazines inside a plastic sleeve to protect the magazine and keep the ugly mailing label off the cover, so I subscribed to AHMM to give it a try. Yes, it came as expected along with flyers for Penny Dell’s Puzzle books and their 4 fiction digests. Overall, I’m quite pleased. The magazine did not arrive in pristine condition. The trip through the mail left the book with a few bumps and bruises, but I’ve seen similar wear and creases on newsstand copies, so I think subscribing in 2021 offers a good alternative to newsstands. Off the rack, Dell digests cost $7.99 each. Via a 6-issue subscription they’re only $6.00 each.
