“How strange!” I thought as I searched in vain through Amazon.com’s new magazine category for Cook’s Illustrated. They have everything else “Illustrated”. I poked around a little more, and then found that Amazon is running a special Cook’s Illustrated feature. They have “how to” do things like bake a waffle, kill a lobster, make universal cookie dough. And, mystery solved, there’s a link to a “free trial issue” of the magazine. The link goes offsite to a fulfillment company. I assume that Amazon had to omit Cook’s Illustrated from their regular magazine database because of this cross-marketing deal. They should’ve put in a special case for their search engine, though.
