content: Yes, americanradiohistory is nicehttp://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.

content: 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.

content: I like Nuts and Volts and I used to subscribe to Everyday Practical Electronicshttp://www.nutsvolts.com/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 Radiohttp://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/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.
