Newspaper Designer's Handbook
by Tim Harrower
Magazine and newspaper design is now very similar and this is simply the best book on the subject we've seen. Currently in its 5th edition it comes with a near-useless CD but the book itself is worth many times the total $60.70 price. As it is used by many colleges as a text book you will find secondhand copies around

Starting & Running a Successful Newsletter or Magazine
by Cheryl Woodard
The author was one of the founders of PC magazine, then after losing that in a sale/takeover, did it again. She went on to become one of the industry's top consultants. Good solid advice and this is the updated 4th edition.
How to Start a Magazine and Publish It Profitably
by James B Kobak
The author has been an adviser to magazines since 1946, and, despite the first part of its title, this includes a superb guide to how to cure the ills of a sick magazine plus an insight into the life cycle of magazines. Not in doubt is the fact that he knows the business.
