You have to look pretty hard to find a good Columbia House offer these
days.  I have one at home that I found last year for and 11-for-1 offer
(I keep meaning to join). I believe you can find the best offers in
Rolling Stone and Glamour, altho I have not seen any in RS lately (I
check at the bookstore). TV Guide also used to have the best CH offers
right after New Year's but I didn't see one there, either. CDHQ has
similar titles to CH (but not as large a catalog) and their buy 1 offers
are much easier to come by.
