More on the Magazine Swap: A Letter from HBP to Industry

Dear advertisers, partners and friends: We are pleased to announce that Active Interest Media/Home Buyer Publications has completed a transaction with F&W Media that should be of significant benefit to the log and timber home market. The former F&W log and timber group of publications, events and websites will now be combined with HBP’s similar group, creating one stronger, smaller and more efficient platform for marketing log, timber and hybrid homes. In return, F&W Media has acquired AIM’s western art publications, Southwest Art and Collector’s Guide, which dovetail nicely with F&W’s art group.

The new combined group of publications at HBP will be: Log Home Living (monthly), Country's Best Log Homes (bi-monthly plus two special issues), Custom Wood Homes (bi-monthly) and Timber Home Living (8 issues per year).

Log Homes Illustrated, Log Home Design and Timber Homes Illustrated will be folded into the remaining magazines and will no longer be published independently. This will strengthen the remaining titles in newsstand sales, subscribers and page counts.
