Would a package of magazines (not DVDs) sent from Europe be free from U.S. import and other Customs duties?

I think there is no duty or tax, because magazines and books are educational and taxing them would be taxing learning. And you can learn quite a lot from some of the Europorn mags, believe me!

I'm sending some mags from Olde England to New England and I don't want the buyer to get any nasty surprises.

Many thanks for any feedback. Moderators, please do not molest this completely innocent (if slightly off-) topic. Ta!

Like our Customs I would guess the US has a similar system and base any charges on the Customs Declaration form on the front of the package.

You need to fill out a Customs Declaration Form whenever you send a package to the US. Mark the item as a gift with a nominal value to give it a chance of avoiding the charges.

I have to say that sending stuff from the UK is not cheap and magazines are quite heavy items to send.

Yes, I just posted the parcel to the USA and it cost me £50/$80!

The total price for each Euro mag (top-quality in new condition) was still only $10, though.
