Tactical Knives, at $14.95 for a year, makes the subscription worth it...I've found that B&N's vary tremendously in their magazine coverage. Borders, on average, seems to be better.
I was told that there's usually an in-house person who keeps them up and decides what to carry and order when it comes to "marginal" special interest magazines. That may be why the closest B&N buries their Soldier of Fortunes, knife, and gun magazines behind martial arts ones...
