Esquire or Redbook: $8 for 12 issues

It's a tough market for magazine publishers with the internet, rising costs, and a tough economy hurting circulation. But if you're in the market for a magazine subscription, Amazon.com has some good deals. You can get Esquire or Redbook for $8 per year. CosmoGirl is also available at the same price. Hugh Hefner's struggling Playboy empire is also feeling the heat, with its flagship magazine available at a price of $15.96 for 12 issues.
