Yeah, that's why I stopped reading several magazines, too. That and that they either doubled their price for the glossed-over crap or halved their annual issues.
I still take PopWood and TFH because they're cheap and of occasional interest. The ads are half the reason I continue them, too. I like to keep up with the technology of jigs and tools, and have utilized the concepts they bring to make my own setups or alter the way I do things. I get 2 or 3 years of mags for $10 total on eBay.
I get several trade mags free of charge, and they're mostly worth the price. I laugh at the list price JLC (Journal of Light Construction) wants for their scripts, but take it for a year when it goes on 1/4 price sale. It's pretty good, as are FWW and FHB, but they're not worth full price to me. I got the JLC mag collection on CD for 1/4 the price FWW or FHB wants for theirs, and it feels more germane to me than FWWs. I don't do a lot of (hah, ANY!) period furniture with 5,000 pieces of minute adornments.
(YMMV, Leon.)

108 minus 57ish leaves 51 pages of content, according to your original post, for October. 128 minus 47ish leaves 81 pages of content for November. Therefor the total content increase is 81/51 = 1.59(ish), multiply by 100 to get percent and it becomes 159%, a 59% increase over the content pages from October.
I think you're suffering from that metric system all y'all use.
They hired an MBA who showed them how to save money and bullshit you about what great deal your getting. What they were attempting to do is, tell you to go hell and make you look forward to the trip.
I watched an ad on TV where a guy claimed to have saved an olive producer 86,000$ by leaving one olive out of the jar. In no nonsense terms, he shorted the customer. He was so proud of himself, he was advertising his service.
In a Ford boardroom, an MBA very seriously asked why a wheel needed five bolts to hold a wheel on, when one would do. His remarks were met with incredulous awe. Apparently, he demonstrated the acme of know nothing ignorance and stupidity to the wrong crowd.
Be aware that these weasels are into everything and are part of the corporate culture.
You could call a lawyer to find out if this breach of contract and if so, bring a class action suit forward. If your not into that, then spread the word to all media sources at your disposal.

Ahhh class action lawsuits. Another useless thing. The only people that get repaid are the attorneys. They get paid very richly everyone else gets dirt.
I had an RCA TV that everyone had the same problem with. Cost me $150 to repair it each time. All because it was missing a Heat Sink. The class action lawsuit allowed me to reclaim a coupon for $50 off my next purchase. So it cost me $150 twice, but I get $50 off my next purchase??? Needless to say... no more RCA products..
I have a few of those stories. My car... The dealer pulled a fast one and was caught. The class action suit gets me $20 off licensing my next car. The ripoff was for $100. I didn't get the money back, and $20 doesn't cover the loss.
Yep, the low life attorneys make out, and we .... we get the shaft.
I figured if I told 2 friends, and each of them told 2 friends, etc., then the person/people who made the decision would be destined to regret it. I'm not into creating litigation, but feel free.
