May

One of my favorite shopping locations is Barnes and Nobles, where I can find a nice assortment of Genealogical Magazines.  With the subscriptions cost of international magazines, it is nice to review before I buy.  Finding genealogy magazines at the bookstore can be a hit and miss when knowing what section to look in.  As a nice marketing ploy, sections move, and magazines get reclassified into different sections.  I need to check family, history, entertainment and women sections each month to see what is new.

I am not sure if genealogy is becoming more popular, but I have noticed that Family Tree Magazine and Internet Genealogy have moved from the back shelf to the coveted front row, eye level position.

There are many genealogical magazines that are not available at Barnes and Noble and need to be found through historical and genealogical societies.  Printed Sources edited by Kory Meyerink has a great chapter on Genealogical Periodicals that explores where to find these periodicals.
