I always have a subscription to Yankee. Have for many years. After all I’m a Ct Yankee retired in sunny Fl. I do miss the wonderful countryside. I grew up in NW Ct in the village of Cornwall. At 91 I hope to enjoy many more Yankee issues. Carolyn Caprio
Hello. I also have always loved Yankee Magazine covers and to tell the truth, I sometimes just bought the mag BECAUSE of the art cover. I used to have a collection of them on my walls. Would you at least consider publishing calendars with them? I must not be the only one to have asked this.
Hi Carol! Thanks so much for your kind words! We do often hear from readers that especially enjoy our classic cover art. This year, to celebrate our 80th anniversary, we did offer a calendar that featured our classic covers, along with highlights from the Yankee archives. Sorry you missed it! Perhaps we’ll have to do it again for 2016? 😉

Do you ever offer your old covers as prints that could be used as wall art?
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for taking the time to send us your question. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer our covers as prints at this time.
