About a year ago I joined the History Channel Club as a life member which is wonderful. Every two months I receive the History magazine. In every issue there is a postcard to be sent in to win a trip and several giveaways with retail values fron about 135 to 400 dollars. In the Sept – Oct 2007 History magazine members can win a great historic vacation on a Majestic America Line Cruise aboard the American Queen cruising the legendary Mississippi and Ohio rivers. This is a 7-night cruise for two. A winner will be selected by random drawing on or about Nov. 5th, 2007.
The giveaways are:
2 winners will receive a 1930s – era Classic Cruiser
1 winner will receive a Silver DC-3 Mode
10 winners will receive The States United Edition Collection.

One of the oldest magazines we associate with sweepstakes is the Readers Digest. It was started in 1922 when DeWitt and Lila Wallace published their first issue of the Readers Digest. They sold their magazine exclusively by mail for a quarter. The two worked out of their Greenwich Village apartment and printed 5000 copies. To enter their sweepstakes people are asked to subcribe to their magazine or buy their books and then at the end they say “No purchase necesssary”.
Readers Digest is a monthly family magazine with lots of tips for the consumer and general interest stories. It is the best selling consumer magazine in the US with over 10,000,000 copies in the US. The global editions reach an additional 40 million people in more than 70 countries with 50 editions in 21 languages. It is also published in large print.
My favorite product is the Readers Digest Select Editions Large Type which is published by Partners for Sight Foundations. This is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1955 by Readers Digest co-founder DeWitt Wallace. These condensed large print paperbacks come in 6 yearly volumes with two books in each, fiction and nonfiction. It is awesome how easy the text is on the eyes, even messed-up ones like mine.
