everyday practical electronics is a good one, and its base in the UK.

Yeah found that one, just put in an order at my local newsagents

[niladherbert]

archive.org and americanradiohistory.com have scans of older popular electronics and others

Yes, americanradiohistory is nice http://www.americanradiohistory.com/ - the basics never change - discrete, opamp etc. Look up Practical Electronics, Electronics Today UK, Wireless World, etc.

There are only two available in the UK now (excluding Practical Wireless if you want RF/ham stuff), that's EPE and Elektor. Your best bet is to look at their websites - or more usefully, nip into WH Smiths and flick though the current issues.

Saelig tossed a copy of both "Circuit Cellar" and "Nuts and Volts" in my last order.  They had sent me a "Circuit Cellar" in a previous order so I have checked out a couple issues.

I found "Circuit Cellar" a little too advanced for my interests right now but I enjoyed the "Nuts and Volts" issue and am considering subscribing.  Worth a look IMO.

Not a magazine but a lot of electronic circuits......you must have !!!!!

Look on Internet for : Graf - Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits
NB: 7 volumes.

Not exactly cheap, but another vote for ELEKTOR magazine

They offer DVDs of their back issues.

I like Nuts and Volts and I used to subscribe to Everyday Practical Electronics

There is a fallacy in recommending a magazine as 'best' without knowing the topics of interest. 

CQ Magazine might be 'best' in terms of Amateur Radio

Probably better to spend time on Google with specific interests.

My interests run toward analog computing and I don't think I'll find a magazine.
