1. $1020 is nothing. You should see what libraries have to pay..

...especially for science journals. Some are $10,000 and up a year - and they don't come out every month either.

[Muttocracy]

3. yep. And some of the publishers want them to buy huge packages of them. nt

8. Really? I never knew.

So scientist to scientist publications pushing the envelope getting the latest scoop type of magazines?

[skooooo]

11. Science publications ..

..are very expensive. Stuff in the social sciences too. If libraries had more money, EVERYONE would have more access to this kind of information.

9. I was just looking for maps to the bike trails. Going on vacation.

WHo knew? It's just we have such a wide membership here someone almost always knows something. It seems to me it compiles information from the various sources listed. But then what is it for and who is buying it?

Things that make you go "Hmmm?"

2. When it's a magazine for a program that costs $15,000+ a year for licensing

:P

[Muttocracy]

5. I'm confused about that in the OP - the Amazon add doesn't look like a license

But yeah, if includes an ESRI license, it might be a deal.

6. What is an ESRI license?

I was just blown away by the cost of the magazine. I mean you'd have to gold plate it for me to spend that much for it.

12. ESRI is the company that does ArcView and other software for GIS

Geographic Information Systems. http://esri.com/

I don't quite get what the journal is for - Washington state, or out of D.C.? Cost is amazing, and I'm surprised for a tech journal that they haven't gone to online subscription?

4. Why do you suppose they call it Mad Magazine?

:D

10. Oh, good grief.
