Dragon/Dungeon Magazine Recommendations

[AugustNights]

A gaming store I've recently found has a lot of Dragon/Dungeon Magazines for sale on the cheap, and I was wondering if the playground had any recommendations.

Here's (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=5523.0) a good list of useful stuff in the magazines, and here's (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=9028.0) a list of all the Dragon Magazine ACFs. Personally, unless there's something specific, I'd go for the ones with neat Ecology articles, the April Fool's issues, and anything that has something neat you'd like to read written on the cover.

The issues with planar stuff are pretty neat, too.

Get as many as you can!

The lists referenced above are perfect if you are looking for something or anything in particular.

Even if they are 1st or 2nd edition magazines get them. Of course you would need to update them to 3.5 to run them as is. But maps are maps and pictures are pictures no matter the edition.
