I've got a really easy pattern I follow each and every time. First, I examine the cover. After that is over and I'm back inside the apartment, I look at all the pictures front to back. Later on, it follows me into the throne room, where I read in this order: I read the editor's page, workbench reviews, gallery captions, the historical thingy in the back, and then the rest front to back. It usually take a few sittings.

Are you left handed? Do you do it for all mags?

I do the same thing for every mag I read- and I notice my daughter does, and she's left handed.

Just curious. Now back to our regular subject....

Yep, every mag. I'm right handed, but my Dad is left handed.

Yep, that's me. I try to save the Galleries if I can, just because it's such a treat to view them. Last is the reviews, because that is my favorite place.

I usually go to the galleries first ,then do a quick recce from the front and then read it, and read it again. Then it gets added to the mountain in the spare room to await its turn to be re-read Wink [;)] !

I only read the articles and don't look at the pictures. Oh, sorry, wrong magazine.

I read the user tips first. I find many of them very interesting and I can read them quickly. Then I read the main articles and last I read whatever is left over that I find interesting.
