Since 1997, Martha Stewart Living has distributed up to six special issue magazines each year: suplemental issues based on a single homekeeping, entertaining or culinary topic. These magazines were not included as part of the general subscription: available on newsstands only, or by phone order. Below is a description of the special issues that have been released so far, excluding the first Martha Stewart Living Weddings issues,which began publishing once a year in 1995. (These were the seeds for Martha Stewart Weddings magazine which began publishing as its own entity in 1999 on a quarterly basis.) The issues below are now out of print but can often be found at online markets, such as eBay, Etsy or Amazon.

That's such a great list...I've been looking for it since I discovered MS Living. THANK YOU very much!
Silvia
Wonderful list! FYI, Kmart handed out copies of the 2002 Holiday Baking issue free (I think day after Thanksgiving). The only difference was the cover. I can send you a picture if you like.
You did a really great job with this post. It is a great resource for us magazine collectors.
Thanks for the list! I have an almost complete collection of every Martha magazine and I needed to know which special issues I might be missing luckily only 6!
hi i was wondering where i could get a copy of her weddings collectors edition apparently the number for back issues and all said they dont have it, my email is cess_querubin@hotmail.com, i'd appreciate your help!
Your best bet to finding any of these special issues is to use eBay and purchase them through a private seller.
I missed seeing the update. Oops! Beautiful, Andrew.

Hi Andrew, your blog is such a great resource for me as a collector! I've got all the regular issues and am working on filling in a few gaps (5, to be exact) in my special issues. Have there been any special issues since the 2016 25th Anniversary Edition? Looking forward to your next update. Thanks!
Hi Inga! There was a re-issue of the last Organizing magazine that came out earlier this year, but it didn’t contain any new content. I’ll keep you posted!
