Minerva - International Review of Ancient Art and Archaelogy

Minerva - International Review of Ancient Art and ArchaelogyMinerva is one of my favorite mags. I studied archeology in graduate school and classical civ in undergrad and I find it a fun way to maintain a flavor of both. I'm also an artist and I've always been facinated by ancient art forms. Most of the items shown are museum quality artifacts, but I get great ideas for my own work from these issues. The articles tend to be obscure for casual readers, but I find them informative and interesting.

Do yourself a favor, and buy this magazine subscription directly from the Minerva magazine website. You will pay $50 versus the $71.71 on Amazon for 6 issues. Sorry, Amazon! Maybe you will lower your prices.

Buy Minerva - International Review of Ancient Art and Archaelogy Now

I am a sculptor, and this is my only magazine subscription. I stopped buying U.S. magazines because of the art speak, and the U.K magazines have now gone international. This is the only magazine which I have ever read religiously from cover to cover. I get to see things that get missed in art magazines, and the object's context is always considered. It is also mind broadening, as I see images that I would never see anywhere else. A major benefit of the magazine is the book reviews. I have bought several international books based on reviews in Minerva, and have never been disappointed. An associated resource is the catalogs from Royal Athena gallery in New York at $5 each, they are a steal.

On November 29, 2012, you sent me a ship-confirm order for Minerva magazine. Without the

slightest intent of sarcasm, I believe a sailing ship would be faster. WHERE IS IT?

I cannot understand for the life of me why anything should take 12-16 weeks to begin getting a subscription. I got this for my uncle who is a true history buff and it will take 3-4 months for him to get his 1st magazine. I tried to buy a copy of this at one of the book stores or stands to show him what he would be getting and could find it nowhere. I had to print the page from Amazon to get anything. This is a wonderful, high caliber magazine and it shouldn't take this long to get. Can't something be done about this?
