Magazine

Not to be confused with Magazine (firearms).

A magazine is a type of book people read. Magazines differ from books because a new issue of the magazine is printed many times each year with new contents. Magazines are a type of periodical. They are called periodicals because editions are published at a fixed frequency. Magazines are similar to newspapers, but usually the time between new issues is longer. Each copy of a magazine costs more money than a newspaper, and many are in color on every page. Sometimes magazines come with little gifts to reward the readers who buy it.
