  1. Is there a reason you do not include
    Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine in your listings?

  2. Dear Jim,

    Thanks for your comment. There are so many great magazines out there that I had to leave some out that were either less relevant to art investors or the information they provided was already covered in another publication. Fine Art Connoisseur is a great magazine and is definately worth reading but it just didn’t fit in my list.

    Regards,
