Wow that is bad I would not renew at all.

Definitely a typo or a scam email so be careful

I always do a google search for the magazine and usually find some fantastic prices.

F&P have been sending out the CD's with lessons and then repeatedly dunning people for payment, even though the CD's were unsolicited and therefore can be considered freebies. Perhaps this is their next marketing ploy? Maybe they figure that a few people will just renew without noticing the price.

Personally I don't care for the magazine.

I just got my renewal subscription and mine says 1 year $16.97 + $4s/h or $26.97 +$6s/h for 2 years. I don't any magazine is worth $77.00 a year.

A friend told me about receiving a notice from Love of Quilting that her subscription was due for renewal. She called Fons and Porter to tell them she still had 2 yrs left. Its not them doing this, and they aren't happy about what is happening. Its too bad Fons and Porter doesn't do something about this company. I'm ready to just buy at the store if I want a mag because I never know when I'm going to get one in the mail. LOL

My husband has gotten some "renewal" notices on magazines that he still has 3 years to go on his current subscriptions. These notices are sent by magazine services that must take their commission out of getting you to send money early through them.. After seeing that Newsweek has gone to electronic issues only, I'd be leery of signing up for more than 2 years of ANY magazine. The time of using electronic tablets/readers is fast approaching!

AHA!! I renewed my subscription to Love of Quilting in October for $32.97 for two years. In November I received a statement like you did, for the renewal of the magazine for $77.91 for one year or 155.82 for two. I just ignored it but kept the statement for some reason. How interesting!! We are also having a problem with another well known magazine. I get calls about our subscription all the time ttelling me it is time to renew. Right now we are receiving 2 a month of the same magazine. I refuse to talk to them and will just let the subscription lapse.
