I have the same problem. It's the difference between magazines that can be used as reference material and trash magazines like Womans Day/Vogue etc.
I have a mountain of Electronics and other Engineering magazines here dating back to the 70's, I still search through them for circuits and machining ideas etc.
Most reference magazines are collectable, deceased estate auctions and auction sites like Ebay regularly have large collections for sale.
(Type 'Model Engineer' into Ebay search)
