I’ve purchased almost every issue ever produced, and ultimately subscribed (the first time ever in my 50+ years of living) to ACG two years ago. I recently renewed, and then of course received the notification that AMG was to cease publication. I suppose that in this allegedly wonderful utopoia which we are now supposedly residing in, literature in any form, which requires cognitive skills, is an endangered species. It does not compete well with the instant gratification offered by electronic gaming and entertainment venues. However, I was able to utilize AMG with my sons quite well, and turned them onto history and reading. My youngest is just now graduating high school, and EVERY history teacher he had, informed me of his engaging and prescient views of history. Thanks AMG! I’ll of course be coming to this site regularly, but will miss the AMG magazine as I would an old friend. I looked forward to my frinds visits every couple of months. Take Care.</p> </div> <!-- end comment-content--> </div> <!-- end comment_area--> </article> <!-- end comment-body --> </li><!-- #comment-## --> <li class="comment odd alt thread-even depth-1" id="li-comment-45748"> <article id="comment-45748" class="comment-body clearfix"> <div class="comment_postinfo"> <div class="comment_avatar"> </div> <!-- end .comment_avatar --> <span class="fn">Steve</span> <span class="comment_date"> 6/17/2015 </span> </div> <!-- end .comment_postinfo --> <div class="comment_area"> <div class="comment-content clearfix"> <p>Sorry to see it go.
