Great magazine 
2008-02-23
A must have for all "Do it yourselfers". Interesting articles and easy to understand project instructions.
I read it cover to cover 2007-11-25
My daughter has a 90-year-old bungalow in Maine, and reads this magazine cover to cover. It answers so many of her design and decorating questions.
Held hostage by OHJ

My husband had a similar experience to Ellen and Red Two Pei. We never ordered Old House Journal. We had never heard of the mag. After two issues we thought that perhaps it was complimentary because we are long time subsribers to "THIS OLD HOUSE MAGAZINE". Then we got one or two letters requesting that we pay for the subsription. We contacted them to say we never ordered the mag, so stop sending it. We probably received 4 more issues but spaced very far apart. It's been at least a year since we've received anymore OHJ mags and we no longer get requests to pay for something we never requested.
My theory: OHJ purchased mail lists from similar audience magazines (i.e., TOH) and sent those people OHJ magazines. Some unscrupulous person decided to bill recipients to see if they'd pay...and voila! Your're a subscriber. Some people might pay, thinking they are paying for their "THIS OLD HOUSE" subscription.
The Old House Journal magazine features, regular departments and even the advertisements (resources) are very helpful. Good magazine (five star product; 1 star company) but subscribe at your own risk!!!
Warning 2005-01-23
I have had the same experience as Ellen who also reviewed this magazine, regarding Old House Journal. I never subscribed to the magazine but somehow received two issues and then was billed for a full year's subscription. I ignored the subscription payment notice figuring it was junk, and now have received two collection agency letters. I have tried calling Old House Journal and was told twice by two different customer service reps that my subscription had been cancelled out of the system. Then why am I still receiving debt collection notices? I can't believe that these companies can get away with this. And to ruin my credit for a measly $21. I agree with Ellen... if you are unfortunately linked somehow to Old House Journal, be prepared to be reported into debt collection, even if you never subscribed to the magazine.
Horrible Customer Service 2005-01-14
The magazine was fine, but after one subscription I wanted to cancle. But, they kept on sending my magazine and then sent me to a collection agency, North Shore Agency. I paid the bill and called Old House Journal to let them know it was paid (North Shore Agency doesn't include a phone number on thier collection notice). Then, 6 months later I get a nother collection notice from North Shore Agency stating that I had renewed my subscription, which was a lie. Don't get this magazine unless you want to keep your subscription for life. Because if you don't they'll send you to a collection agency.

A Renovator's Bible 2001-12-06
Our house was built in 1838 and as we try and maintain as much of the historical character as possible, we often run into road blocks. With OldHouse Journal we are given step by step instructions on what to do. My husband is very particular and likes to do much of the work himself. OldHouse Journal allows it. It does stories on the old and new which is very helpful. We used to be subscribers to Colonial Homes and found the magazine to be more on comestics vs. updating and repair. We were recommended this magazine by a preservationist specialist and are very happy to have been. So if you own an old home this is a must have magazine.
