            Classic Sewing Magazine offered a two year subscription on ******* b day after her death. I took out two of these one for me and I gifted another. Now we learn that the company will cease publication with the last issue being winter 2024. I would like a refund for the magazines that I wont be getting nor my friend I gifted them to will be getting. Its unprofessional for a business to keep my money after they advertised and offered subscriptions. Also tacky that the downloads have to be downloaded before the end of 2024 or you lose that money that was spend also. That will take hours upon. Hours to download all of this information for approximately 32 issues. I paid for this information and was told the downloads would exist for a lifetime.

            I was wondering why ************************* cookbooks were so cheap on your website, now I know. I research everything before I order on line, especially if they dont take PayPal and require a credit card number. Shame on you people. Everyone not as patient as me to spend the time to check things out. I decided at the last minute before I clicked on Purchase! Glad I did.You do not deserve a one star rating !!!

            We are the publisher of *********************** three cookbooks and the only location where you can purchase her cookbooks unless you purchase from her directly at a book signing. If you purchase from Amazon or **** you are buying from an individual that is reselling their book. We can not accept Paypal for cookbooks that are preorders as we do not charge your card until your cookbook ships. You can also order by phone at *********** or you can contact us at ***************************************** I'm sorry but we are not sure why you are leaving a comment and 1 star. Hoffman Media publishes 11 magazines and we have published over 120 books. We ship and fulfill thousands of books and magazines each month to many happy customers.
