title: Stereophile "Reviews"

text:
To the casual reader the typical Stereophile review invariably appears to be a glowing endorsement. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find anything that is remotely critical, assuming one can separate comments on the item being reviewed from the accompanying old-boys club reminiscences, conversational minutiae, and self-opiniated verbosity. In addition, one could be forgiven of abandoning all hope of ever seeing comparative critiques of similar components to help the prospective buyer (and at which the UK hifi magazines, for example, excel). It may be suggested that anything negative may irrevocably undermine the mutual admiration section entitled “Manufacturers’ Comments,” and one may also wonder how these comments appear in the very same issue of the item being reviewed. However, in fairness to Stereophile, I believe this does not tell the full story.
You see, after much perusal, I have come to the conclusion that there is an esoteric code practiced by all Stereophile reviewers which is used to conceal criticism from everyone but the initiated, and which, I believe, I have now partially cracked.
For example, reviews concluding “I enjoyed my time with....”  generally mean not recommended, whilst the statement “l was sad to see it go” is a lukewarm endorsement. Beware of phrases like "communicating the music's message," "there was very little bloat," and "positively revelatory" for I believe they are red herrings! I am still working on the phrase “performs like others costing 2 to 3 times more” which, since it is used so often, I can only assume is code for get the kit which costs 2 to 3 times more (if you can afford the price of a new car).
But I may be mistaken!🤔


title: Unfortunately, Collectible Automobile

text: has ceased publishing. I only found out when I noticed it was no longer on the newsstands. Shame because it was a great magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: This magazine combines greats recipes with amazing articles.


title: Highlights are a joke

text: Didn't get this sub. Highlights didn't rectify this situation


title: The Magazine has changed!

text: I won't repeat the information printed in the reviews written in 2008, but those reviews are worth reading. I subscribed to this magazine in 1993 and I thought that I would always be a subscriber. I was wrong. This year I let my subscription end because the changes that the magazine has made has been, in my opinion, awful. It is now a totally different magazine than it was in 1993. Right now, as I see it, its only strength is some visual-you can get ideas for cake decorating etc.(However, I find most of the new layout unappealing.) If you can, get old back issues-I'm glad I saved mine. I find the new issues, from 2008, very unappealing. I miss the old magazine and I wish the editors would change the magazine back to what it once was.


title: Articles more in-depth than many found in publications meant for adults

text: This magazine is excellent. It is very informative and appeals to older tweens and young teens. If only there were a comparable magazine targeting the adult audience, as my children will soon outgrow this reading level.


A lot of the recipes in this magazine are considered "light" or "healthy" just by substituting regular flour with whole wheat flour.  While this does help the nutrition of a dish, I really don't consider that a better way in creating dishes that are better for you.  This magazine was not what I was anticipating when I ordered it.

text: High end cooking challenges in this magazine.  Great for foodies like me. :)


title: Pay attention to your own needs

I asked a friend of mine who is an architecture student to recommend a good magazine for me--a casual reader. He suggested Architectural Record (AR) immediately. I followed his lead and started buying AR from bookstores. After reading about one year, I got some opinions on the pros and cons of this magazine and would like to share them with prospective readers/subscribers. Please note that my evaluation is from a layperson's point of view. It might not work for professionals.

I think the goal of AR is to keep people updated about what's happening in the architectural communities around the world, to present the latest works, and to reveal some patterns or trends in today's design. Based on this mission, I think AR does a great job.

But if architecture is only your hobby, AR might be too much for you. At least we are not making a living with it and do not have to know everything about it. Chances are that only a small part of the content in each issue might interest you. Nevertheless, as what I mentioned, AR is a good and serious architecture journal. So the key question is not whether to read it or not, but how to read it wisely or read which issue(s).

Fortunately, several clues can provide us with good suggestions. Each issue of AR has a special section called "Building Type Study" which focuses on one type of building (such as library, museum, bridge, office building, etc.). You can choose the right issues by skimming through the this section. Moreover, each year AR has a special issue called "Record Houses" featuring about 10 residental projects carefully selected around the world. If you are into residential architecture, you don't want to miss them.

Unless you are a hardcore architecture fan and would like to know all about it, amateurs like me can choose the right issues to read and get the information I need. I think this is the right or smart strategy to take advantage of this quality magazine.

That being said, I am not quite comfortable about the large volume of advertisements in the magazine (though I know it might be necessary).


title: I am not sure...

text:
I have bought several issues of Metropolis, but decided to stop reading this periodical. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that it is not a good magazine. It might be. What I mean is that it does not fit my appetite. And I would like to point out these issues to prospective readers.

1) Metropolis is a culture-combo. It mixes architecture, design, art, etc... But it costs depth to be broad. I am mainly interested in architecture. The projects featured in Metropolis are usually not up-to-date or cutting-edge. I always feel like wanting more information after reading each issue. This might happen to other sections as well.

2) This magazine is a little bit too wordy. It might work for people who enjoy reading. I prefer more pictures. Moreover, the tone of the articles sounds more like that of a typical article in the "opinion" section of a newspaper. For me, I prefer straight forward articles which describe the subjects rather than put into a lot of evaluations. However, all these could be a strength, depending on different readers.

3) I am not sure about the overall design of the magazine. Its graphic design makes me feel un-organized and disoriented a little bit. If you happened to read Phaidon's first volume of "10 X 10", you will know what I am talking about.

4) There are several good substitutes out there in the market. If you like something heavy on architecture, go to Architectural Records or Dwell; if you prefer the hodge-podge style, AZURE is a good choice.

All told, though Metropolis seems to be interesting, I finally dropped it. Again, this evaluation is very idiosyncratic and personal. Hence, I gave it a neutral rating. Just FYI. Hope this helps.


title: This is an awesome mag!

text: Lots of fitness magazines are always getting off topic! This magazine stays totally on the topic of fitness. However, not only does it talk about fitness, but also health! The pages showing women who have succeeded in weight loss are really encouraging, and I also like all of the healthy tips on foods and exercises. Every time I see a very healthy person on the cover it inspires me! The magazine also has very good clothing pages too! A very good buy as one of my favorite fitness magazines!


title: Best book review magazine!

text: I used to get "book" magazine-I was terribly disappointed when they stopped publishing.  I also started to get the riverside review, but then that went out.  I haven't been having good lucky lately with the book review magazines.  Since every book review magazine I've subscribed to have subsequently gone out of business, I picked up bookmarks at the local library, instead of subscribing to it.  Seriously, it's the best book review magazine I've seen in a long time.  They offer caplet reviews of new books, as long as the reviews written by major publications.  The other great feature is their dedication to older, classic authors and their works.  For example, the May issue features Tolstoy, with many pages dedicated to background of him and his works.  They offer works to start with and then follow-up reading.  They also break down the reviews by themes, and the reviews use a star system.  I'd recommend this subscription to anyone who's interested in learning about new books, but not willing to buy (or borrow) unless they know they're good.  Hopefully, I haven't jinxed this magazine, too, and that they'll be around for a long time!


title: Won't let you unsubscribe, NO contacts for customer service!

text:
On Dec. 24th I entered a Marie Claire magazine sweep: [...]

It didn't display well in Safari so I couldn't read anything except the fields to fill in. Upon hitting the submit button I got a message thanking me for Subscribing and saying I'd get my magazine soon.

I IMMEDIATELY tried to find contact information to fix this.
I was unable to use their "unsubscribe link" because it couldn't find me (I guess I was too new to be in the system yet). And you need a code on the magazine itself for the other option.
I found no phone or email addresses.
After about 15 frustrating minutes I found an email for customer service that worked. (Several of their posted email address got rejected & came back to me:  magcustserv@hearst.com, customerservice@email.hearstmags.com, thankyou@hearstmags.com)

I sent them an email explaining what had just happened and that I did NOT want a subscription.

Since then I've gotten TWO email bills and a MAILED bill for the magazine (which ironically hasn't come, so I can't use the code on the front to use their auto-unsubscribe link) - but no response to my email.
I've sent several more follow up emails and have heard NOTHING from them.

I'm currently trying to track down a phone number for them, but I wanted to warn others about how unhepful they are.


title: Great shopping mag for Canadian fashionistas!

text: This is, in a way, a Canadian equivalent to Lucky. It was launched in the summer of last year and after I bought the first issue, I was hooked. It has everything you need to know about new beauty products, new trends and great new stores opening around Canada. It also has this "Remix" section about lifestyles, books, music, etc. In the back, there are also a bunch of great deals that you can use in Canadian stores. The only flaw was that the magazine layout was a bit crowded. It's a great read when you're on the road or on the way to the mall!


title: Travels of the Rich

text: Conde Nast Traveler is a magazine for the wealthy or the want-a-bees.  The magazine is geared mostly to North America and Europe.  It tells where to eat, shop or be seen on the two continents.  For example, an article will inform the reader of a new five-star Sushi restaurant in Florence, Italy.  Thus, if you plan to travel to Florence for Sushi (not Michelangelo), this is the magazine for you.  It is a great coffee table magazine for the armchair traveler, for the pictures are gorgeous.

title: A musical magazine worth reading

text:
Well, if you read Rolling Stone and Spin (as well as Maxim's Blender), they both have one thing in common: Both are about image and pop culture as opposed to actual musical stuff. For awhile AP got way too trendy for me. However, this magazine is on track. Whereas many of the other magazines will only discuss things from artists that are real obvious "elitist" picks and heavy sellers, this album is for people who know of other great music.

It's got a lot about goth/industrial/heavy stuff, as mentioned earlier. I have to respect them because they actually had a cool article on my favorite artist of all-time, VAST. They are interesting people who like interesting things. I imagine that I'll keep my subscription of this because it's from people who clearly know what they are doing.

Even though they rarely update, Industrial Nation is recommended in addition to this wonderful magazine. I wish people would find that there is a lot of good stuff there that people aren't giving a chance at.


title: Same ol’ CI...pretty much.

text: Chris is gone, and with him a bit  of personality.  Still a good reference for reliable recipes and equipment reviews.  And still a bit East Coast Centric for product availability.  Seems a little less detailed?


title: Nice magazine.

text: Nice photography magazine.  Great value.  $5.00 for a 12 month subscription.


title: Have been a subsciber for almost 40 years!

text: Best way to stay updated with what's going on in Scientific advances!  Have been a subscriber for almost 40 years! Loaded with interesting scientific information!


title: zzzZZZ

text: I used to enjoy this magazine, but I just think it is boring.  Every issue has the same feeling and recycled stories and ideas from back issues.  All magazines have their flaws, but this one is just so milquetoast!  Its flaw is being boring...I can't recommend it anymore.


title: easily one of the best

text: For this magazine genre, I think Marie Claire is one of the best around.  It has all of the typical stuff that magazines of this type "must" include but it also has brighter points, like the "What I Love About Me" section (95% of my reason for subscribing to Marie Claire actually) and some well written human interest stories.  It's like having your fluff and substance in one place...can't beat that!


title: it's been fun, but...

text: In Style is at its core, a "fun" fashion magazine.  I think they do a good job providing an entertaining and luxe-looking magazine for people who aren't really diehard fashionistas but like to look nice.  I appreciate their relatively high quality and inventive ideas, targeting a slightly older audience than some fashion mags, and the refreshing lack of lifestyle information compared to some women's magazines.  However, I am burnt out on all of the celebrity overexposure.  If memory serves me correctly, In Style was one of the first women's magazines in the 1990's to start featuring a celebrity cover model and now that has become de rigueur and it is exhausting to me.  I don't think I'll subscribe again soon, but I will read it when I come across In Style in a doctor's office or similar.


title: Good magazine

text: Good magazine subscription price.  Good for a teenager.

title: National Geographic meets Bon Appetit

text:
What a beautiful magazine (full color pictures on glossy paper), and what interesting stories behind each food.  The recipes are sometimes doable, although most of the time I just like to read about the exotic ingredients in each.

A must have- makes the living room look very sophisticated!


title: Great magazine

text: We have gotten this for 2 years now. The whole family loves it. We also got its companion, Extra.


title: Still waiting

text: I am still waiting for my first issue to arrive so at this time I can't review.  Was told it could take up to 12 weeks to start...apparently that's true.


title: A nice detachment from social media

text: Given that I am looking for ways to engage without the tech overload, this subscription is a nice treat to read.  Selection of articles ranges pretty well, and my child can use them for materials when the random art project comes up.  It's a manageable magazine, and not a bible as others came be overloaded with ads and extra crud I am not concerned with.


title: BAD SERVICE!!!

text: Ordered ONLY<br />by mistake....tried SEVERAL TI.ES TO D/C IT!


title: including nice articles and pictures

text: I used to play on my High School chess team for 3 years, winning MVP in my last 2 seasons, in Monroe, WA.  I went to the State championship tournament twice, in 1979 and 1981, finishing with a 7-2-1 record.  Northwest Chess covered all High School matches and tournaments.  At the end of each season they had the cross tables in the magazine and listed ratings, including nice articles and pictures.  I wish I could pick up past magazines from 1978-1981.  I do have one issue and copied the ratings and cross tables they printed that included my name, but only in 1979.  The magazine also included chess puzzles (mate in 3, for example).


title: High-Lights Magazine

text: I've always like tis magazine. I gave it to my grandkids & now my great-grandkids. It is worth the money.  As long as they stay clear of  'political' adjustment, I will continue giving it. Kids have enough to deal with-- They need to have  just 'kid' stuff right now. Thank you.

title: Still pretty good

I'm not sure why Consumer Reports is getting so much flak in the reviews, because they still are a great starting point for many larger (and occasionally smaller) purchases. Of course you shouldn't ONLY trust Consumer Reports, but for things such as cars and appliances they are usually really good and thorough in their reviews and somewhere in their top selections lies a winner. Even when I bought my Civic previously, they ranked it high but for some reason stated the Ford Focus was the "car to buy" at that price point; still, if you actually read the reviews you can come to your own conclusions. They try to be objective, but choosing a "best of" tends to come down to subjective points and its up to you, as the consumer, to decide which factors are most important.

Since my car purchase, I had unsubscribed from them for a few years (just didn't have any major purchases in the pipeline, so I didn't need it), but since re-subscribing I actually find their articles to be better written then previously. Like I said, you still need to make your own decisions, but if you follow most of their reviews and guidelines you'll at least land in the general vacinity of what you need and avoid some major catastrophes as well. And yes, I'm quite technically savvy, and use this as a starting point, but if you aren't savvy you'll be far better off going with a CR recommendation then you will over just believing what advertisers promote.

And yes a PC magazine might be better at reviewing PCs, but again, as somewhat who works as a computer tech for major organization, they're pretty darn biased as well (my personal recommendation is that the brands don't mean anything unless you're a major organization with a service plan, they're all made with the same parts produced in the same factories; best to look up specific models and read reviews on Newegg or Amazon instead and take those with a grain of salt).

Anyways, I recommend Consumer Reports, but I do wish they were slightly cheaper to subscribe to. I also will state that, as someone who watches a lot of TV, I appreciate many of their articles on "As Seen on TV" products, since I'm often curious (most are garbage, but every once in a while something decent comes along).


title: Such a good magazine, a must for curious minds

text:
A few issues into Popular Science, and I must say this is by far my favorite magazine subscription! I've subscribed to a few electronic magazines, and unlike some of my fellow reviewers, I am not a genius and the stuff went right over my head! Heck, some of this magazine does too! I think this is the perfect amount for an average person interested in all sorts of electronic and science fields, since it gives enough information so those not involved in the field can understand, but also break it down somewhat for those who like a little more substance. Sure, some articles are short, and you're crazy if you think they're somehow going to breakdown every aspect of the Hadron Collider's workings in a 5 page article, but it gives information that I certainly would not have known otherwise, in a language somewhere between geek and normal.

If you have interested kids, this is an excellent magazine. Much of it may go over their heads, but if they lose interest, then at worst you've blown a few bucks on an educational item. However, if they take interest, and try to break down what they're reading, then you may have not only gotten them hooked on a great hobby/career, but you've probably shown them more than they will learn in their high-school science classes!

I will say I'm an adult, I'm a current (eternal) college student, and I've aced all the entry-level science corses, and I don't think this is too dumbed-down in the least. I just think the authors try really hard to make a fun magazine, which I think they accomplish without dumbing it down too much (like a local news story might). I feel uber geeky after reading a few articles, sometimes I'll immediately go lookup more detailed information on the web, othertimes I'll just sit and fantasize. I think they do a great job covering a wide-field of areas, and a general geek such as myself truly appreciates it.


title: Hmm. 6.50 for 48 pages. Ouch.

text: I just got my first issue today and whereas I do not normally come on here and complain about prices, but content, I must break my own rules this time.  There is not enough to this magazine to be worth 6.50 an issue.  Out of 48 pages, at least 5 are devoted to scholarships, something I do not need to read about and three or four are advertising the conference in February.  The articles for the most part are interesting, but few.  Still, considering it took me all of twenty minutes to read it, I think the price needs to modified.  And more about lady mechanics, please.  We are not all pilots.  After all, a lot of us ladies keep em flying..  I hope to see more content in the rest of my years subscription.

I was expecting that it will appear either in my kindle or pdf link would be given. Instead it says: "Current subscribers – your subscription may include access on Google Play.

text: The only periodicals you can trust are those that start each letters page with challenges to the last issues content.  The Atlantic and the Economist and Fine Homebuilding are of those ilk.

title: Fun way to spend time with your kids

text:
We got our first issue and it is a lot of fun. I have a seven and four year old and we look through the whole issue together. We get a lot of time together per issue. I spend more time in this magazine than I do when I browse my wife's entertainment weekly. Lots of content

I also had highlights as a kid


title: Baltimore Magazine

text: I ordered a subscription to Baltimore Magazine through Amazon.com.  I was expecting to receive my first magazine in Feb., but it actually started with the Jan. issue.  I was pleased with both the quickness with which my subscription started and also with the price of the subscription.


title: Not the same ole Motor Trend

text:
First, I have subscribed to Motor Trend for decades. However, I will NOT be renewing my subscription.
The main reason is that MT seems to have taken a LEFT TURN. By this I mean the pushing of electric and hybrid vehicles. great example is the current Car of the Year. Most people have never heard of this brand, most people cannot afford this car, plus the infrastructure for this car is NOT OUT THERE YET!
These vehicles may be the future, but, the future is not here yet. One computer keystroke can disable a million vehicles at once.
MT is not for the general public anymore....!

title: Only 4 issues as subscription says for one year.

text: This subscription is for a year, it includes 4 issues, so for $6 I guess that's ok.  It's always been 4 issues, even with regular subscription not from Amazon, that's why I  just picked it up in Target or the grocery store.  I wish it was a monthly subscription but it is not.

title: Most of the magazine is in English

text:
I am disappointed in Latina. Most of the magazine is in English. The ads are mostly in Spanish and in the articles there is a Spanish flavor in the language, but it is NOT written in Spanish. That is what I wanted and expected and I am not pleased.

I will not renew my subscription.

title: Just as interesting as I expected

text: I really like this magazine, as it is not like the newspaper and other media - full of bad news.  It is very interesting to the curious among us to hear about new inventions.


title: Better than Cat Fancy

text: Great feature articles interspersed with informational articles. I like this new format much more than Cat Fancy.


title: Fun & informative

text: Our child looks forward to receiving each edition in the mail. They’ll read the magazine several times and share fun facts with us.


The TV Guide is no longer a complete listing of the TV shows that are on the evening. It has become a useless publication and I will not my renew my subscription


title: What a Deal!

text: I have enjoyed Popular Mechanics Magazine for years; usually at the magazine rack in some store because the cover price was more than I felt like I could spend on it.  This deal, $5.00 for an entire year is just incredible.  I hope they have a similar deal when it is time to renew.  This magazine has lots of good and sometimes useful articles about everything from cars to home improvement to tools.  If you are a guy between 10 and 70, there is probably something in here you will find interesting.


title: Great articles, but disorganized a bit, plus too much Ads.

text: I am royal reader to Businessweek and Fortune. I love both, but which is better? Fortune is like the fashion magzine in the business world, and Businessweek is more news centric. Fortune always has at least 5 or 6 very interesting featured articles about people, companies, or the economy.They are always insigtful, personal (as if the writer is talking to a friend), well researched, and perfectly structured. These long essays is the core of Fortune, but the rest of the magzine, columes, personal finances and so on, aren't as good. 50% of the magazine seems to be ads, and the contents are not as tightly connected together in a clear manner as the Economist or Businessweek. That's why I think it's like a fashion magzine. On the other hand, Businessweek doesn't have articles as well written, but comes weekly and covers everything important during that week or so, which gives you a complete view of the business world. Both magazines are fasinating to read, so what are you waiting for?

It keeps me up to date on the latest goings on in equipment and photography.
As an old professional photographer it's in the blood stream to know the
latest trends.

title: I miss the daytime listings

text: The magazine has fun articles on actors and stories on what is coming up on various shows without giving the story away. It would be really great if there was a listing of all the premium channel movies. If it had that, I would have given it a 5 star rating.


title: Real Simple

text: I love Real Simple and it was so easy to renew with auto-renewal.  This magazine always has lots of good tips and I highly recommend it.

text: This magazine is probably just right for some, but it is not my cup of tea.  I like Country and Victorian decorating.

text: I am an intermediate French learner amd I thoroughly enjoyed this promptly delivered magazine


title: Tags to Freshness!

text: This magazine brought back a lot of childhood memories, especially the jokes. The "Who Knew"  articles forced me to look at the tags on bread; very helpful.


title: Bought in the Past

text: Excellent cuisine, but very expensive to replicate recipes.


title: Subscriber for 15 years or so

text: I subscribed to Piecework in the beginning but eventually let it lapse because of uninteresting content (at the time, textiles and clothing from obscure cultures).  I picked up my subscription again when the focus was on historical knitting, lace, stitching, etc.  By today, it is one of the few magazines that I continue receiving and generally consider the issues to be well-worth keeping/archiving.  However during the past 2 years or so, the paper and print quality have become abysmal and certainly not up to the PRICE and keepsake quality of the content.  In addition, I find F-W Media to have distasteful marketing practices.  I'm extremely disappointed and seriously considering to NOT renew my subscription.


look forward to this arriving in the mail


title: Look out on something beyond photography

text:
After reveived the renewal letter and getting my friend's phone call yesterday, I decide to say good-bye to this magazine --

I have been reading Popular Photography for about 8 years.  I had feeling for several times that they sent me renewal letter earlier that it should be, but because I was busy, I just sent them checks and had it renowed.  But this time, My last renewal was in June or July 2012 when I moved to my new home -- I had a clear starting point.  As I concerned, only after about 6 issues, they stopped sending me magazine and let me renew again!  Meanwhile, a friend who used the subscription card I gave to him 3 months ago also had trouble.  He paid for 2 years, but they said he didn't pay after cashing the check.  After my friend further explained he had already paid (including providing copy of the check), a third-party money-collection company sent him letter to threat.

Shame of you, Popular Photography!  Because your articles sometimes were helpful, I give you two stars instead of one star.


title: Waste of $$$$

text: Paid for subscription, and never got an issue.  Money "UP IN SMOKE"<br />Do not recommend trusting this publisher.  Go with Cigar Afficiando rather than this publication.


title: Question about subscription??

text: More of a question that a review, does this subscription come with access to a version I can downloads to my kindle too.


title: What?  Conservative BUT worthwhile?

text:
Sorry, but I have to chime in, since actual conservatives don't seem to review this magazine.  I'd hate for the Standard to become the "Conservative magazine for the thinking leftist."
This magazine is a taste of the conservative movement.  It's a good way to ease into conservatism (and yes, they did comment on that whole Lewinski/purgery/obstructing justice "nonsense")
The first thing you'll notice about the Standard (and indeed most conservative publications) is how bare-bones it is.  Very few full page photographs with two words ever grace it's pages.  The pages contain plain text, thoughtful opinions from various authors.  (The website even features Larry Miller-- among the funniest comediens who doesn't need the "f" word)
Conservatives and liberals alike will find enough to disagree with in this one (though the latter will have a harder time with it).  I recommend getting the National Review/Weekly Standard bundle just to balance out the McCain worship from the Standard.


title: I Don't Think So

text: I'm only giving GL two stars because I used to like it.  Sort of.  But it was really superficial.  I never really loved an issue, I just searched for some articles that were okay.  The real turning point was when it changed its look.  Instead of Girl's Life, it was GL.  Okay, I thought, this could be cool.  I soon thought again.  The editor's note is usually funny and nice, but this time, she was saying how all other magazines are bad, and that they are the only ones who care about you.  Whatever!  They dissed other magazines that I like, and their new look was all about looking like all the other magazines.  I cancelled my subscription, and I don't recommend it to anyone.


title: Great magazine for cat lovers

text: This magazine is a cat lover's dream.  It has interesting articles, lots of cat pictures, and websites for cat accessories and breeders.  If you like cats, you will like this magazine.


title: Feels like sitting down with a like-minded mentor

text: I am always so blessed by the articles in the magazine.  It provides great information and advice.  I am never disappointed.  I love to give these subscriptions as gifts to my friends so that they too can be encouraged in their calling to be Keepers at Home.  This magazine feels like you are sitting down with a like-minded mentor and it helps "fill my cup up" so that I can pour out myself to my family.


title: Five Stars

text: Great buy, great price


title: Too many adverts, not enough content

text: I grew up with Better Homes and Gardens in the 70's and 80's. I even got a subscription for a few years when I was married in the 90's. I came across one of my old 90's edition's I had saved and put it on the table next to this current edition. First of all, the one from the 90's was double the thickness. There were WAY more articles and picture's and great content. The current editions of BH&G contain more advertisement that content. I literally went through and counted the number of pages from front cover to back cover and more than 1/2 of the pages were advertisements. I realize this is probably to do with so much info/ideas being able to be looked up on online but there was not enough content in this to warrant anything past the $5.00 for 6 issues. I'm disappointed but glad I didn't pay retail price!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine for those beginning to create visual art.


title: Sunset Magazine - a great regional source

text: This informative magazine contains articles that talk about places to visit (that even locals don't know about that are close to home), home and gardening ideas that are appropriate to the area, and some great recipes.  I enjoy reading it every month!


title: Affordable Projects

text: Love this magazine. Great ideas for affordable projects.


title: Great magazine

text: Covers home decorating, cooking, gardening, travel and more.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine... started on Amazon, with subscription, will continue.. look forward to each issue..


title: Great recipes!

text: Great recipes!  Cover to cover recipes!


title: I'm just not a complainer

text: This is not really me.  I live in a small space, and I am raw vegan. I do not have a big budget to redecorate my mansion (as a matter of fact, I am working hard on storing those things I really need to get at, at a a bargain price, with an eye of being able to navigate my space.


title: If you see the name, you know you are at the right place!

text: if you identify as a Southern woman (okay, maybe a man, too), this is an interesting trip through what well-to-do Southern ladies might like to know.  I am a Southerner living in New York City.  This magazine takes me back, reminds me of who I am, throws some good recipes my way, and, best of all, mentions things that I can ask my Momma about  (especially recipe based, but also history based).<br />At this point in my life, Southern Living is the best magazine for me (I'd say I get enjoyment from at least 1/4 of it, and that is saying a lot, since I rarely enjoy reading magazines these days)


title: Not for me...

text: Articles are way too short, not very informative, and most of the magazine is about selling items. In order to combat climate change people are going to live in simpler life styles, upcycle more and not buy more stuff.


title: Not bad!

text: Mostly enjoying this but their at too many short articles not enough detail. A lot of ads too and sometime the ads look like articles.


title: Hope the buy out doesn't change this mag.

text: NatGeo is so interesting.


title: Three Stars

text: I don't have a home to work on anymore


title: Three Stars

text: Don't take it anymore


title: Mid Century Wonders

text: If you like mid-century modern design...get this now!


title: Good magazine

text: The price was good through Amazon.


title: Four Stars

text: Let's you know what's new in entertainment news.


title: Good info

text: I always enjoy The Trail Rider and get something useful out of every issue. I enjoy the ads, too. I just wish it were a bigger magazine with more content -- it's pretty thin.


title: Possibly the greatest literary periodical in existence

text:
I finally received a subscription to this amazing magazine as a gift, and I've read my first issue cover-to-cover over the span of two days.  This month's (February 2003) issue includes, among other things, an essay on the inevitable doom that humans will eventually face when our planet experiences its next major cosmic collision..  Unless, of course, we manage to annihilate ourselves via environmental, militaristic, pathological, or technological means, pre-empting the arbitrary extinction caused by an asteroid or comet.
Every issue of Harper's contains excellent essays, fiction, political discussion, and of course the Harper's staples, such as the Index.  Many of the stories and essays win major literary prizes such as the O'Henry award, and get included in high-profile anthologies such as the *Best American* series.  Certainly, for a writer, if you are chosen to appear in Harper's, you are at the pinnacle of your craft.
Although the New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, and many other smaller literary magazines consistantly offer excellent content and visually pleasing formats, Harper's seems to lead the pack -- maybe because of it's no-nonsense approach, limited advertising, regionally non-specific content, and diversity of topics.  The fact that Harper's is aided by a non-profit organization must contribute to its quality; certainly any independence from advertisers can only improve the open-endedness and creativity that Harper's excels in.


title: Great magazine for Dog people

text: Now renamed Dogster, even better new look and wide variety of helpful articles.


title: Corporate Capitalism Kills

text:
Mother Jones offeres a fresh and unique point of view that is much needed as an alternative news medium that has not been overrun by corporate greed. It is a shame that so much in our society from our clothes to sports arenas to television to even the internet has become nothing more advertisements for coporations. Even our favorite celebrities and favorite songs are used to fuel the corporate giant that is run by an unholy desire for greed and profit at the expense of workers.
Mother Jones is independant and one will hear stories you will not hear anywhere else. Certainly not from news channels like Fox and CNN whose opinions range from center-right, conservative, and reactionary. For example, less than 5% of African Americans describe themselves as conservatives, yet 50-60% of African Americans pundits on TV are, you guessed it, conservative Republicans. Understand that there are more Black militants and Black Marxists than Black conservatives. (But don't hold your breath waiting for those guys to appear on Fox's Hannity and the Cowardly Lion)
And as for the previous comment that "Socialism Kills", I would like to mention that not every country that claims to be "Socialist" actually follows Socialist principles. (And no I am not a Socialist, although I admire certain aspects of Socialism) Just like I'm sure there are and have been many nations that have called themselves Democracies, yet violated human rights, do not follow Democratic principles, etc. For example, wouldn't it be terrible to have a country call itself Democratic, claim it to treat all its citizens equally, but overwhelmingly caters to the richest 5% of the population, overwhelmingly caters to corporate interests and makes its policies around serving those interests, has a one party system that claims to be two parties even though both parties agree on just about everything, a country that has a nasty habit of undermining Democratic, legally elected governments in support of military installed governments and those that have an atrocious human rights record but as long as they are not too left-wing, its ok, a country that has a nasty habit of ignoring international law, the ONLY industrialized nation on earth that has the death penalty even for children, one of the very FEW nations that has not signed the United Nations Declaration of the Right of the Child (the others? Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Etc.we're in good company, the same nations we gave weapons to!), the ONLY nation on Earth condemned as an international terrorist state by the World Court and ordered to pay reparations for our illegal activity in Nicaragua and El Salvador. That country's response? Ignore it. The ONLY industrialized nation on earth that has condemned for violating International Labor standards. A country that inacts inhuman and evil embargoes on third world nations we don't like even if that embargo is condemned by nearly THE ENTIRE WORLD including our most steadfast ALLIES! The list goes on and on, but tell me, wouldn't it be terrible live in a country like that?


title: Waiting for Godot... no more

text:
For the past few years I had struggled with the decision as whether or not to renew the subscription to New Yorker. During such struggles, I would recall a few great pieces from the year past (e.g. Hersh's, Surowieki's) that always outweighed my increasing doubts about the magazine. And then, on the plus side, there are the cartoons and cover art that never fail you plus the last ten pages or so, with the arts and book reviews.

Over time I saw that renewing the subscription became almost reflex, just like waiting for a redeeming next issue. It seemed its editors were trying still to figure out what to make out of it(s audience). Issue by issue, I've found it less engaging and even annoying in its obsession with everything hip and on the fringes. I then started to realize that New Yorker cultivates the illusion of people's being in the know, amidst the stuff that matters, yet it's all noise that fades into monotony. Canceling the subscription mid-course was the right thing to do, and in retrospect, the easiest.


title: I love Food and Wine

text: This is one of my favorite magazines for recipes, ideas and updates about food. Keeps me in the loop for what's happening with foof.


title: Five Stars

text: This is my favorite magazine. Great ideas, beautifully presented, and reminding my how much I love France.


title: Rolling Stone still Rocks!

text: A classic that is still relevant. With editorials that cut to the heart of problems in America such as corporate banks and right wing extremists.


title: The BEST magazine on collectable rugs and textiles

text:
This magazine is downright gorgeous and you will find that sometimes the ads themselves to be almost as interesting as the articles.
Hali spares no expense in  the high quality color photos of textiles shown in both the advertisements and the articles.

The primary focus of the magazine is on antique rugs and sometimes some of the oldest  types, such as classical carpets, are spotlighted. The articles  can sometimes be uneven in quality  some being written by the leading experts in their fields on some occasions while on other occasions being written by  aspiring scholars. From time to time you will run into articles  that are actually tailored to sell the author's own rug (!) but those are few and far between. Most of the articles are high quality and some of them actually  add to what we already know  about the field of rug history. In that way Hali is like a book on oriental rugs that is constantly updated. Many times we will see in the magazine rugs that have been  newly discovered that add to our knowledge of  the history and aesthetics of the oriental carpet.

The magazine gives good insight to the novice collector about both the rugs and the hobby whereas  for the hard-core collector and dealer of antique textiles it is a must have.

Included in the magazine a reviews of rug shows as well as an auction section spotlighting rugs  from recent rug auctions and the prices they fetched. If you are a rug collector you will find  that information extremely important.
And you will learn that as with many  antiques there are collecting trends and with those trends  prices  can and do fluctuate. This is important information not only for the rug buyer but for anyone that has an heirloom to sell.

 You will also learn of something  about the personalities of the worldwide rug community by reading this magazine.

If you can't afford to collect antique rugs but enjoy their beauty having a subscription to Hali is the next best thing to collecting rugs. I strongly recommend it for anyone who has just been bitten by the "rug bug" to get themselves a subscription to Hali first before you start going on a rug buying spree.

I also recommend this magazine for antique dealers for  although  antique dealers can price a variety of antiques very well they sometimes  have a blind spot when it comes to oriental rugs. Anyone that has a good sized antique business should be subscribing to this magazine.

The novice will learn from this magazine that their are certain rugs that even though are in such horrible shape that they are just a  part of a rug and one that is worn and full of holes (although these cases are few and far between) can command astronomical prices.

One should not  be too concerned of the price of the subscription. The magazine itself is highly collectable  and in a few years  you might find yourself selling your old issues and actually making money.

Highly recommended

title: A good and ambitious magazine

text:
A magnificent magazine full of breathtaking photos and quality articles. Offers great advice for the hobbyiest. Not only does it keep one abreast of space science I think EVERYONE will find it  highly inspirational.  The articles that take on more technical topics in astronomy and Cosmology sometimes leave one wanting but those wanting more accurate and detailed information on these topics are guided by the magazine to other sources. The magazine walks a tightrope and more often than not it is successful.

title: Una revista muy chevere

text: This magazine is wonderful if you are looking for a magazine that is easy to read, entertaining and yet informative all in one. It is geared toward the Latin community but I think it could also interest anyone who speaks Spanish and has a love for the culture. I started buying this magazine regularly in 1998 and I am still a fan of People en espanol. At first glance one may think that it's the Spanish version the weekly People magazine in English but believe me the only element in common is the title. This magazine has a section on "la farándula" and "en familia" which I find always nice to read and sometimes there are good articles about infants and kids that give helpful tips about childcare. There are other informative sections that you can read according to your personal preference. Lastly, the quality of the Spanish is very good in comparison to other magazines in its class in which I have found major grammar errors on a regular basis. This magazine is worth every cent and can be read through an through.


title: Promotes spanish

text:
If I wanted my child to learn the language of the barrio, I would purchase some spanish materials.

While High Five has activities for the English-speaking child, it also provides English-into-spanish translations.

So, because I am absolutely disgusted with the promotion of spanish in the USA ("press one for spanish", product labels in English and spanish, government publications in English and spanish, et cetera ad nauseum), I have cancelled my child's subscription.

Instead, I have purchased learning materials in French, Chinese and Farsi.  My child will be multi-lingual - - but I'm refusing to promote the fractionalizing of my own country into englispan.


title: Downbeat is what one should expect from a Jazz magazine

text:
Ok, you can say that Downbeat reviews are neglectable for a top Jazz addicted reader.

Also forget those unnecessary annual reader's polls and reviewers' polls, another neglectable part of Downbeat historical existence.

Suppose I am a Jazz instrumentalist or singer and I claim desperately for success. Then suppose I buy some 50 Downbeat subscriptions and distribute them as a gift to 50 different people under the condition they vote for me in the reader's annual poll. Well the game's quite ready for my career to be launched under Downbeat's poll parameters. Be sure I would hit a wonderful position in the poll and Downbeat would not have any chance to contest it. Quite fragile!

The good side is that there's a lot of good and updated information on albums, performances and artists. Also a good interview in each issue. Also the interesting Blindfold Test which exposes an artist to his memory capacity to idendify peers' recordings.

That's Downbeat, not the best, not the worst of Jazz magazines.


title: THE magazine to read!

text: Vogue has been the top fashion magazine for decades.  If you want to know upcoming fashion designs from the world's greatest designers, you will want to read Vogue.  Always a thick, lushly photographed production, you always get more than your money's worth subscribing to Vogue.


title: One of the most wonderful magazines in existence

text: This magazine has evolved brilliantly over the years.  It’s beautifully written & startlingly informative. And what spectacular photographs!!  I find the articles mesmerizing. I am a subscriber but bought two special copies in an airport & read them cover to cover on my flight without a second of boredom.  In my opinion, Nat. Geo. Is essential  for any home in which there are children. It’s a glowing masterpiece!


title: Great Guide for Recreation in Northern VA

text: This magazine does an amazing job of detailing anywhere you could want to see in the Northern Virginia area. For instance, a sampling from the July issue: Where to go for hot air ballooning, rooftop dining, natural swimming holes, innertubing, spas, ice rinks, dog parks, boat rentals, shaded trails, run through fountains, waterfalls, fireworks, county fairs and so on, along with any applicable dates or addresses. There are also restaurant reviews, recipes, and articles of interest to those living in the area. So far, I have found the information helpful, accurate, and up to date. Having lived in Alexandria for about 3 years now, I feel like this has opened me up to the bounty of activities within a short drive. I have not found a single issue lacking in at least one or two interesting articles or places to visit.


title: Bon Appetit Magazine

text: My Son in Law looks forward each time to new recipes. he is a great cook and used it cover to cover


title: Okay, but not great

text: Given the title "Image" I expected much more in the way of visual art.  In my first issue, of 120 pages, only 8 pages contain any visual art, and although printed in color, they are mostly small (2"x3"?) and hard to see.  The rest of the magazine is filled with a long interview, 3 short stories, 13 poems, 4 essays, and a book review.  Overall, the mix of material was disappointing.  Too much to read and not enough visual art to experience.  I already have too much to read.  I was hoping this would be something different.


title: Favorite

text: These crossword puzzles are just the right level for me.  I have been a subscriber for over 20 years.  I find they are not too easy nor are they too hard.


title: Gift for son

text: My develomentally disabled son loves movies and dreams of going to California to work in the film industry. This gives him a chance to feed the dream and to at least gain some insight into the industry


title: Purchased for a friend's birthday and she is crazy for ...

text: Purchased for a friend's birthday and she is crazy for this magazine.  She can't tell me enough how much she enoys reading it, learning more about the city and collecting ideas for restaurants to try.


title: My hubby is pleased

text: My hubby is pleased, but it took over two months for our first issue to arrive. but I called customer service and they sent out an extra one right away. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE at Penthouse.


title: ehhh...

text: The writers are damn funny.  I love the caustic sense of homor.  They don't really do anything truly revolutionary, but they entertain me about the kids I already know.<br />Hey, it beats rolling stone...


title: ah

text: basically a teeny bopper magazine... with the disguisal of cheerleading.<br />nothing really pertinent.


title: The best teen mag out there!

text: It is the best.  Thicker and Juicer, It's like the Cosmopolitan(c) of teen.  Lots of style, fashion, fun, and flair in every issue.  Great for girls 13 and up!


title: Keyboards and more

text: If you are a keyboard player, you probably already know about this publication. You are aware that there is no other magazine that fills this niche quite as well (although Electronic Musician comes close). You likely are a subscriber already, or you pick up an issue at the newstand every month. But anyone, keyboard player or not, who is interested in making music with technology, would be served well by checking out this magazine. "Keyboard" is almost a misnomer, actually, because, while keyboards are emphasized, there is much here regarding recording and using computers for creating music. Strange as it may sound, sometimes keyboards get short shrift in favor of coverage of software and technology. The crux of this magazine, to me, is the product review section. If an item wins a "Key Buy" designation, you know it is worth adding to your musical arsenal. It's worth saving the back issues for reference. All in all a splendid magazine for musicians.


title: Lukewarm enthusiasm for pop-religion journal

text: I have read Charisma magazine for many, many years, and over those years my enthusiasm for this publication has waned, perhaps coinciding with my spiritual journey away from the more excessive fringes of the charismatic movement. Of course, what I consider the "fringes" (Word-faith theology especially) now unfortunately seems to be the charismatic mainstream. Charisma takes a far too uncritical stance when it comes to aberrant theology like Word-faith, and in some instances seems to have "sold out" to that particular interest. Sometimes the magazine does dare to take an unpopular stand, which is to its credit (like an article a few years ago criticizing multi-level marketing techniques). Most troubling to me is the perception of pandering to the Christian "star system" that makes celebrities out of people in an arena where there should ideally be no celebrities. The magazine also accepts dubious advertising, publicizing conferences featuring self-proclaimed "apostles" and "prophets". As much as I criticize Charisma, it is not a totally useless publication. The news section is informative concerning trends in popular Christianity, bringing attention to grass-roots movements that sometimes flies under the radar of other publications like Christianity Today. But while Christianity Today can be likened to a full and hearty meal, Charisma can be likened to a Twinkie: tasty but ultimately non-filling and non-nutritious.


title: More ads than content

text: Okay magazine but more ads than articles


title: There is a life  besides the Computer

text: I bought the subscription to Sports Illustrated as a gift for my 15 year old grandson who almost never looks at a magazine. He is always glued to his computer. Now that he is on his second supbscription, he excitedly greets each new issue when the mail comes. He is an avid basketball follower and Sports Illustrated helps him keep up with the teams and players. It is the best money I have spent in a long time.


title: informative

text: This magazine writes many personal accounts of near personal disasters. It writes about very current items.I enjoy reading all of these articles.


title: Three Stars

text: Too much stuff to read and not enough TV info


title: A+

text: A+


title: Five Stars

text: Always loved this magazine and am happy to be receiving it again.


title: Keep it  Alive

text: World War Two must never be forgotten. The most significant event of the twentieth century changed world politics forever. WW2 History takes us inside the big stories as well as bringing us the smaller, though no less important, stories of the war as it actually happened. If you study WW2, you need this magazine.


title: Fine Cooking was great

text:
Fine Cooking was great.  Interesting articles, some short stories, and great recipes.
Now, recipes are good but that is it. No stories, and pictures of people eating.
I have been a subscriber for many years. However, this coming May, my subscription will end and I will not renew it.
Sad, it was a really excellent magazine, now ruined.


title: Printing Problems

text: This is a great magazine. Great content. My three year old daughter loves it. The only problem I found was in several of the issues there are printing errors, like where pages will be cut off at the bottom and the bottom of another page will be at the top of a page. Also one issue, all of the pages were blurry.


title: The BEST for book lovers!

text: I have read Bookmarks for 5 years now, and I give subscriptions as gifts at Christmas and birthdays. It is a bi-monthly, but when it comes I read every page.


title: Popular Science Magazine ( present )

text: The past year's magazine seems rather light on content/depth in its articles, as compared to the same magazine 10-15 year's ago.


title: Esquire magazine subscription ( 1-year auto-renewal )

text: Simple review: I ordered the subscription and the magazine arrived. Must determine what "1-year auto-renewal" actually means. I do not object to renewal at the original price; if the tariff increases automatically on renewal, then this could be a ripoff.


title: TOO LONG A WAIT TILL IT STARTS

text: I LOVE THE MAGAZINE AND WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PRICE, HOWEVER ONCE I CLICKED TO PURCHASE, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY SUBSCRIPTION WOULDN'T START FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. HOW DISAPPOINTING. I WANT IT NOW (DOESNT EVERYBODY?)


title: Fantastic

text: National Geographic magazine is the only magazine I like(I usually read only news and books). Other scientific/geography magazine still can't surpass the fabulus articles, pictures, and maps. If you like geography, enviroment, and wildlife articles(and pictures),than subscribe now! The articles are in depth and accurate. Don't just stand there people!! Subscribe this magazine for your friends or family(as gift) or to yourself. You won't regret it(unless you don't like geography magazine)


title: Gift to share.

text: Still a wonderful mag.  Gave as gift - much appreciated.


title: Not bad but used to be better, and as with any tech magazine, is outdated as soon as you get it...

text:
I used to subscribe to WIRED magazine roughly ten years ago, but stopped when the content became more gloss and less substance.

With that said, for casual nerdy readers, WIRED is a great magazine.  The articles are usually very interesting and it always offers new information that wouldn't necessarily be readily available elsewhere.

The biggest problem is that technology these days evolves so rapidly that, like financial publications that purport to give advice about stock trading, as soon as the material has been published it is already outdated.

If you are interested in WIRED magazine, I would recommend instead adding the WIRED website (or Slashdot DOT org) to your internet browser's bookmark list and just checking that daily -- the content is always updated quickly and will be more relevant.... and it's free.


title: Fabulous magazine

text:
I'm kind of a homebody -- I love making things, sewing and cooking, and making my home as nice as possible for myself, my kids, and my guests.  When I found this magazine, it was love at first sight: crafts, easy sewing projects, home-made decorations and beautifully photographed meals, all in one spectacularly well-put-together magazine.  To be honest, I always loved Martha's work but could never stand her show; now I can have all that her show offers (and more) without having to be annoyed by a tv programme.

I highly recommend this magazine if what you're looking for is a source of inspiration for home projects, rife with easy -- and mostly quick -- crafts and decorations.  I would almost recommend this even if you only buy it for the photographs.

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because, as another reviewer mentioned, it is loaded with ads.  That's my only complaint!


title: Avid  reader & experienced traveler

text: Excellent mag, not just fancy pics of expensive resorts! It shows the real caribbean w/ real people. Great articles about regular people who travel to, live in or just love the caribbean.


title: A funny, interesting magazine.

text: There is stuff for everyone here: interviews, puzzles, interesting facts, contests, pull-outs, and a lot of humor. I really love this magazine and find it both interesting and funny. You don't have to like the channel to like this magazine. There is one star off because I'm a bit older then the demographic (I'm 12) so sometimes the humor consists of immature potty humor, but this is rare.


title: Sometimes good, sometimes not

text: I am writing simply for the magazine. The disc doesn't matter to me. Usually this magazine is so awesome, I can't stop reading it. Other times, I have to withstand waiting a whole month for my next one because I finished after reading for a minute. Take my advice, and read it at the store before buying. You'll be glad you did.


title: Fabulous

text:
I've recently been trying to de-clutter my house. As part of that project, I've been going through 20 years of Bon Apetit magazines, culling recipes that I remember fondly and recalling a few food disasters. I've also noticed how the magazine has changed over the years.

Photography is and always has been a strong point for this magazine. I rarely get a new copy without seeing a beautiful picture of something I just have to try making. I've cut out hundreds of dessert recipes - I find pictures of chocolate cakes much more evocative than pictures of steamed vegetables. A large number of the recipes in Bon Apetit come with photos, and I find that helpful in deciding whether I want to try them.

The recipes usually turn out very well. I've made some wonderful desserts, and my wife was stunned (favorably) by some black bean cakes I made for her birthday. The writing is clear and I'm not often left wondering what exactly is meant by the instructions. A few recipes haven't turned out well, and I'm an experienced enough cook to believe that it wasn't my fault, but over 20 years and out of hundreds of recipes, that isn't at all bad. There have been more than a few recipes that simply didn't sound good, but the magazine staff has generally avoided strange food combinations just for the sake of novelty.

My complaint is that the ratio of recipes to other stuff has fallen over the years. Bon Apetit has become more of a lifestyle magazine, and the lifestyle isn't mine. It seems aimed at young and fabulous singles, footloose young couples, and retired couples who don't have young children. After reading some of the party, travel, and buying features I come away with the vague sense that my own kitchen and lifestyle would be found wanting by the editorial staff. I find that very annoying. I sometimes wish that the editors showed more recognition of the fact that not all readers are organized and fabulous and possessed of vast amounts of unused storage space. Some of us are harried, insanely busy, and couldn't find the nutmeg grater if the childrens' lives depended on it. How about occasional restaurant, vacation, and purchasing tips for the unfabulous?

The magazine generally includes several recipes that are easy and fast. My wife and I usually like them a lot; the kids squinch up their faces and act like we're poisoning them. I guess we'll stick to the desserts. I still like this magazine, but I'm afraid I don't like it nearly as much as I used to. We've grown apart, I'm sad to say. I think I've been left behind for people with ovens that can cook wonderful intimate meals for their 50 closest friends and grills that crank out enough BTUs to melt the polar ice caps.

title: Great bargain

text: I love this magazine because it keeps me up to date on all the new movies, TV shows, best-selling books, and even Broadway shows. Amazon offers the best competitive price for a subscription.


title: As ordered

text: Exactly as ordeted


title: I Love

text: I Love sew news is excellent magazine,very good,is magazine nomber one in sew. I Love yes I love, five stars


title: Fantastic

text:
Beautifully produced, incredible detail, gorgeous photography.

Articles generally are about a series of similar cars; for example, 1964-66 Mustangs, which generally have the same body and chassis with superficial differencies over the model run.  The typical article treats the subject as a business project over the course of  several years, following from the design/engineering/tooling stage through the evolution and changes.  The writers usally set the subject in context by describing the market conditions, competing products, and the product that the manufacturer superseded with the subject design.

If you are an enthusiast of a particular car, it is very likely that "Collectible Automobile" has previously covered it.  The magazine hasn't rehashed exactly the same subjects, though an area may be revisited from a different perspective (eg, a recent article about GM's fleet of 1959 cars, though all of GM's 1959 cars have previously been covered in separate brand-specific articles that span several years).

Because there's no advertising (other than other products from the same publisher), there's no significant discount for subscriptions.  I recommend buying a single copy from a newsstand, then ordering other interesting issues from the list at the back of the magazine.


title: mircosofw surface users!

text: I do like this magazine but I'm sorta annoyed that I can't get the Digital access because I only have an iPhone and a Microsoft surface tablet. Why doesn't his come available on these devices. I feel like I wasted my money a bit. So anyway, beware if you don't have an ipad or kindle I guess :\


title: Five Stars

text: My daughter loves this magazine!


title: Glamour magazine review

text: I am amazed at how fast the subscription started.  I signed up through Amazon and within 3 weeks I had my first issue.  It's a great magazine and I could not believe the price, 12 issues for $1.50, that's just too good to pass  up.  Highly recommended!


title: Martha Stewart Living

text: Martha Stewart is a super-high quality magazine with the best recipes,  craft ideas, and  gorgeous photography.<br />I have been a subscriber for many years.


title: Business Week Review

text:
Very detailed information on the economic and business news on a global
scale.  This info is broad-based, and helpful to private and corporate
investors.


title: Often has good articles

text: Good writing and a great subscription price.  I don't actually get outdoors as much as I'd like but enjoy the writing.


title: Excellent mag! Not a "Fan-zeen"!

text: Enjoyable!


title: Not happy

text: Years ago I saw it and loved the brightly colored diverse ads. Now same ads repeating and far less attractive ones. Disappointing. Will not renew.


title: Grate Magazine

text: I love this Mag.  Been reading for years, but like that I'm getting it though the mail better.


title: Not recommended

text: Magazine is not as good as it used to be.  Also RD auto renewed my subscription early without notice.  Still working to cancel it.


title: Well-presented, Unique, Helpful, Tasteful

text:
Martha Stewart Living magazine--one of many of Martha's current projects--is a magazine that traverses all levels of domestic life, attempting to ameliorate household problems and enhance every day urban and suburban living.  In its glossy pages, helpful ideas, recipes, tips, and steps for everything from upholstering furniture to planting those trees you never seem to have the time to plant, abound.  Special features like "Ask Martha" cover ideas and topics the magazine would never have time to cover through its highly structured articles.  While, many of these articles feature things we'd never attempt to complete, "The Guide" offers ways to procure the various elements and ingredients required to accomplish these creations and feats of ingenuity.  "Special" themed issues, focus on everything from gardening to decorating, and are great reference sources when remodeling your house or planting a burgeoning bush of roses.
Still, Martha Stewart Living is not without its faults.  Copious amounts of advertisements abound, and easily annoy when trying to locate a certain article or feature.  Martha's pretentious style and language, which seems to transcend her television show, subtracts and adds to the content of the articles, depending on the subject matter.  But the greatest foible of this magazine is the fact that Martha has very little hand in the writing, composition, and photography of the articles.  Perhaps her three television shows, commitment to her stock on the New York Stock Exchange, her other magazines (including "Baby," "Kids," and "Weddings"), books, and various K-mart "Everyday" lines take away a majority of Martha's time, but one would think that she'd attempt to include more self-penned articles than simply "A Letter from Martha" and "Remembering" features within the magazine, considering she slaps her name almost everywhere else in the magazine.  To compound matters, Martha has over-saturated the market, causing less time to be spent on the magazine, and consequent quality irregularities and size differences (ranging from one hundred and fifty pages to three hundred pages per issue) within the magazine.
Despite some glaring negative points of the magazine, one cannot help but indulge in a subscription and the brief peek into the life of the social elite and well-connected, even just for a few pages.


title: One Star

text: This magazine is no longer publishing.


title: Discover Magazine Is One of The Few Mags Left Worth Purchasing in Paper Copy

text: My wife and I are huge Discover magazine fans.  Like most people I do alot of reading online these days but Discover is a magazine so filled with great articles that you have to have the paper copy in your hands to read whenever you have a few moments.


title: Beautifully done

text:
This magazine is beautifully done.  The articles are well written and the pictures are magnificent.

Unlike other travel magazines, these articles are about the area, people, history and culture.  They aren't so much about expensive hotels and spas.

It is not loaded with ads either, as with some magazines that seem to be all ads, France magazine has them, but in the back of the magazine.


title: THis was a subscription

text: Threads is a very good magazine. It is a bit more advanced than most people can handle... If you are in to couture sewing and tailoring, then you will enjoy this


title: Don’t Waste Your Money

text: Bought this magazine from Amazon last year since I was picking up at the grocery store anyway.  Well turns out you rarely get this magazine, no fault of Amazon but whoever is suppose to actually send them out.  They don’t send them.  You waste your money plain and simple.


title: Love it!

text: I have been subscribing for several years now. I always find interesting and useful articles, different points of view, and food for thought. It is well put together. A great resource!


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: I love Bon Appetit . . . chock full of awesome recipes

text:
Bon Appetit is a magazine devoted to those who want to cook "gourmet" (or at least delicious) meals at home.  The recipes are creative, unique and tasty enough that even an expert or professional chef would enjoy them, yet the intermediate at-home cook will have no trouble finding the ingredients or preparing these lovely meals.
One of my favorite parts of this magazine is the recipes from popular restaurants.  It is always exciting when a local eatery is featured in this area, and even if you don't have the option of eating out you can bring a little bit of fine dining into your home!
Bon Appetit is not full of advertising like some other cooking magazines.  Yes, there are sections where cooking tools/pans/various dining items are discussed and reviewed, but for the most part these are actually helpful (as opposed to other magazines that blantantly advertise items the average person couldn't afford anyway!) and I always enjoy looking through them.  Also, LOADS of color photos which is a big plus over even expensive cookbooks.
In short, if you like to cook and want lots and lots of new or seasonal recipes to look at each month, subscribe to Bon Appetit!


title: Addictive!

text: Ok, these are "real" recipes! I have yet to come across an ingredient that I didn't have in my kitchen or know immediately where to find. Nothing exotic or over-priced, just delicious ways to feed your family and feel like a boss doing it. The articles are fun to read, the pictures are gorgeous, and it's just become a necessary staple in our home.


title: Great articles on wildlife in Virginia, almost want to make you move there

text: A wonderful magazine


title: Great

text: Great to have Wired on my iPad.  Worked first time and I get the mag early without going out to the mail box.


title: For the Price Mavens

text:
I love consumer report.

For all of those whom spend hours researching what product is the best value, works the best, or is the cheapests - this magazine does all the work for you!

Every issue that comes out I find out new facinating things that I wish I knew sooner and allows me to be a better informed consumer. Things that I have been unable to make decisions about for months are solved by this magazine.

Buying this magazine is worth it because of the money it helps you save in the long run!


title: Not worth it

text: I thought this would have more material, more information than it does. My kids have even said they think it's junk mail at this point. Too bad there isn't something between this and regular NatGeo magazines.


title: Cannot get money back on "Good Housekeeping" endorsed product

text: I bought a Conair WW Scale which does not work as it's supposed to and it was the featured product in Good Housekeeping magazine. I emailed Good Housekeeping to request a FORM on February 14th and received a response that would attended to this when they had time. Requested a second time; same response. Only way I was able to get ANY response was to cancel my subscription. Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval is worth NOTHING.


title: Lives Up To The Wonderful Covers.

text: I've always been attracted to the REAL SIMPLE covers often grabbing one at the cashier stand.  After a while I noticed quite the collection of issues around the house that weren't getting recycled so I must have been enjoying them.  A subscription has proven to be one of the best gifts I have given myself. The articles are truly thoughtful and informative and each issues' theme seems to be directed towards me personally. An example of how a theme continues through each issue is a SPRING CLEANING one which included some chapters titled  *The Mind-Set  *The Basics  *The Tools  *The Tough Spots  *Extra Credit.  Within those chapters are great articles "Getting Ahead of the Mess", "How To Clean Anything", "Car-Washing Crash Course", "Take Control of Your Pet Mess" and many many others including "How To De-Germ a Hotel Room" and a surprisingly useful  "What's Your Cleaning Personality". I could go on forever but I'd rather just reread this one. I love having a subscription.


title: One of my favorites

text: Of my cooking magazines, this is one of my favorites. Amazon makes it so easy for me to renew and never miss an issue.


title: Five Stars

text: I ordered this magazine originally for my 10 year old grandson.  He's almost 13 now and when it's time for renewal I always ask if he still wants it and the answer is always yes.


title: Not Renewing

text: Cool pictures of animals and such..but I didn't like how they inject politics into it.


title: They should put this magazine out of its misery

text: I remember looking forward to reading this but it seems like it is on life support, thin and not especially good opinions that match average people.  It is as if their reviews can be bought.


title: Beware.

text: Non existent customer service. Not sure this magazine will continue to exist. We bought a subscription to the print edition for a granddaughter for Xmas. First issue arrived with notice that from now on it would be digital format. My daughter and I both tried to contact the publisher via e-mail with no response. Beware.


title: A magazine unlike any other

text: Reason is one of the best magazines out there, hands down. Origionally just a libertarian political magazine, Reason has spread to cover politics, culture, the environment, economics, and social issues. The libertarian perspective is a breath of fresh air in a market dominated by liberal and conservative viewpoints. A must read for anyone who considers themselves braod-minded.


title: Five Stars

text: Mmmm penthouse


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent graphic design and well-written, concise stories.


title: Great

text: This is great for keeping up with new developments in technology. I prefer the electronic version for iPad.  They do a great job compared to other digital magazines.


title: Scam

text: Got it for one year for $5. Now it's kn auto renew for $25 and I can't figure out how to turn it off. May have to call them...


title: Love this magazine!

text: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this magazine! No advertisements, just great recipes and techniques. Would definitely purchase a subscription as a gift to those who love to cook.


title: Still the best general sport magazine available

text: While the page numbers and amount of stories have decreased, they still have great writers and photographers.


title: A mag for the ages

text: I've always loved RS and find the articles on politics as fascinating as the features on the recording artists. Great writing.


title: Beautiful photography, solid writing

text: I was recently introduced to "Northern Woodlands" by a friend of mine, and I'm quite impressed with the magazine.  Not only is the photography stunning, but the content is of high quality.  I particularly like that it isn't purely a conservationist's soapbox, but they offer information on forest value and management as well.  I'm not a forester, but still enjoy this magazine.


title: The best recipes!

text: Although I use the app more than the magazine, I think both have recipes that work every time and I love the reviews. I have learned a lot from using All Recipes!


title: Good read for kids :)

text: My 7 yr old grandson looks forward to receiving his every month!


title: A Tea Time Treasure

text: A must for anyone who loves tea and the art of entertaining!


title: I think the quality has gone downhill...

text: I used to LOVE this magazine.  It was for real women and was inspiring, but now it is like all the other high ad, high fashion magazines out there.  The ads and fashion part of the magazine has increased and the REAL articles have decreased; very sad.  If I wanted a fashion magazine, I would subscribe to the other highly known fashion magazines.


title: Has Not Arrived

text: I purchased two subscriptions on the same date. The first one came and this one has not arrived yet.  I am dissapointed that it is taking so long!  Very poor.


title: Great Reading!  Came on time.

text: Great Reading! Came on time. after 30 days i already have 2 issues. Not sure why I recieved the December issue as I made the original purchase on Jan 1st.  I would buy again!


title: Five Stars

text: Only magazine I receive now because it is worth the time to read it.


title: Love receiving!

text: Truly enjoy receiving this magazine; look forward to it!


title: Enjoying this

text: My husband is enjoying his subscription!!


title: Im pretty bummed about that

text: Apparently it takes 2 months to start getting the magazine. Im pretty bummed about that.


title: Good Read

text: It's a good lite read on what's happening in the science world. I've been reading it for years. It makes a great gift for your kids (sons or daughters). It's good for sparking interest in them and hopefully causing them to have an interest in science and technology. Ignore the post who has a political agenda of their own - beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so is evil. People see what they want to see. The magazine is a good read for you and your kids and sure beats them playing video games.


title: Great magazine

text: Great stories, pictures, and voice for cycling advocacy. Gets into touring, and commuting, covers bicycling for those of us who aren't into spandex.


title: Somewhere between Wired and the Economist

text: I like magazines that are heavy on meaningful content and light on sponsored ads. This is a necessary read for the typical IT person or those investing in the industry.


title: Always a fun read!

text: Great magazine. Fun to read.


title: What's On?

text: It supplies the basics and is in an easy to read format. Some of the articles about upcoming shows or new series are interesting.


title: Real Simple magazine

text: This is a maazine with lots of valuable tips and life strategies to use on a regular basis.  Thanks you for the low rate.


title: Great magazine

text: I've enjoyed this magazine for years.


title: Great mag for birding

text: Great for bird watchers


title: This Old House magazine and Amazon pair up for good reading and great savings!

text: Just when I thought that the wonderful savings from Amazon couldn't get any better, the people at Amazon.com did it again.  For years I have been buying "This Old House" and as time requires I have had to renew.  There is no question that This Old House magazine is a great publication otherwise I wouldn't keep renewing, but the price this year on my renewal through Amazon is the best ever.  Keep up the great issues "This Old House" and the great saving Amazon.com.


title: Five Stars

text: just as advertised


title: Not Like I Remember

text: Bought this for our 11 year old grandson. Two magazines came in today. As I was thumbing through them I came across a Viagra advertisement . I sent Amazon a request to cancel.


title: Good choice

text: I loved to look at the recipes in this magazine but, did not have enough time to check them all out. A shame!


title: Disappointing

text: It was a good price to try out this magazine.  Oprah is all about oprah and I did not find it interesting.  Perhaps it is for younger women with financial means.  I am retired, was raised in the country on a farm, limited funds - but, more than enough to meet my needs.  Featured shopping often does not show any items under $500.00.  Not a consideration for me.

text: I loved Wired, and the price ended up higher than I thought. Just use the mail slips after your first one.


title: I like it

text: I just got my first issue and I really like it.  A lot of detail but not overly technical.  Good job.


title: Each issue is better than the last!

text: Fantastic magazine full of great information, tips, tricks, decorating ideas, sensible & realistic fashion!  Highly recommended...one for you and one for a friend, too!


Great latin entertainment magazine!!!!!!!!!!  Makes a great gift!!!!!  My Mom loved hers....

My Mom is a latin gossip and entertainment enthusiast so I surprised her with this gift subscription and she was thrilled.  Once again, thanks Amazon.com  You're the best!!

title: I recommend this magazine.

text: Can't beat a wired magazine for keeping up with all kinds of topics.  Highly recommended for EVERYONE.


title: Wired has great variety

text: Wired has the perfect mix of articles ranging from tech to general.  I would rather read this than any other general news-related magazine.


title: Not like it used to be

text:
Not like it used to be.  If millenials living in shoebox apartments reviewing overpriced clothing and power tools they don't know how to use is for you, buy it.  This rag is more like SkyMall meets Sharper Image than anything to do with Science.  One big advertisement for overpriced junk.  Not to mention they cut back to 6 issues a year, only have about 80 pages (70 of which are ads, hard to understand graphs, or full page drawings like a kid was let loose with a box of crayons.  And they won't stop charging after canceling or stop emailing me clickbait crap.

Believe me, I bit my tongue plenty in this review, next time I'll tell ya how I really feel ;).


title: Great magazine for the curious!

text: Love Discover mag, especially the 'Vital Signs' column (medical mystery) each month.


title: sail magazine

text: Fairly good magazine. The articles are short, interesting, and often include sailing stories. SAIL could use more hands on information. Overall evenly balanced between stories of interest, and "how to" articles. SAIL seems to be targeted at the middle class boat owner. You may need to subscribe to a mag more focused on your particular needs or two to three magazines on sailing.

title: Still waiting......

text:
I have no doubt that my father will love receiving the large print of the Reader's Digest, however, he has failed to receive his first copy.  My family and I love Reader's Digest but their customer service leaves alot to be desired.

In the past, I have ordered and paid for Reader's Digest directly through their mailings.  I hesitate to do this any longer because I have received multiple bills for the same subscription which I continued to receive LONG after I had paid them in full.  I was (am) hopeful that purchasing the subscription through Amazon will side-step some of these concerns.

I will let you know...............when we receive our first issue.


title: still havnt received...

text: I still have not received this magazine.  the other magazine i ordered has sent out 2 issues so far...

title: Only advertisements

text: It is really bad, mostly advertising and uno project impossible to built for a normal shop guy<br />Incredible difference with the old PM magazines I used to read when I was a Kid. Very sad


title: Truely horrid and unreadable

text: Mistakenly thought this was the Current Events of ten years past.  It is now wholly anti-American and anti-family.  One of the recent articles was, "Families, are they truly necessary?" Really? Who thinks that is the way our society moves forward.  Could not cancel the subscription fast enough.


title: Jeeps! That’s what!!

title: Good magazine

text: Information


title: Don't Believe "Times"

text: At one time, I read "Times" and thought it was unbiased. Don't waste your money! This publication has become too liberal. Cannot focus on what is relevant to an American. Last article with Whitehouse colored red! Do these people listen to facts? "There is No evidence of collusion with Russia!" I am a well read intelligent lady! You have dropped to bottom of my list!

title: So Glad 2 get this GREAT Magazine

text: My dad subscribed to National Geographic and I enjoyed it in the 60s and 70s.  Now that I'm retired and have time to read all the excellent stories (and accompanying fabulous photographs) that transport you to to all ends of the Earth.

text: I was looking for tips about owning a log home. This magazine is nice but it has a lot of floor plans and building information. It is great to flip through but I am hoping for more "owner tips" and less sales pitches.


title: Best Interior Design magazine out there

text: This is a better architecture and interior design magazine than Architectural Digest, Dwell, Veranda, and Elle Decor combined. I am blown away. I’ve been watching the TV show since I was a child but had no idea how great this magazine is.

title: Meet expectations

text: Meet expectations


title: 7 Year Old Can't Put This Down

text:
I was skeptical about ordering a subscription to this magazine, due to many bad reviews, but Im so glad I ordered! My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves it. From the minute we receive it in the mail, she can't put it down until she's finished the entire magazine. And during that time, she'll tell the entire family all the cool facts she learns from it. My 5 year old son is also interested in it, but his reading skills prevent him from truly enjoying it.

I'm not sure why there is so much criticism about the ads, there is only one double page ad in the beginning and another ad on the back page. The magazine is on the thin side, but I think that it's perfect for the age range as there is plenty of content without being overwhelming. We will definitely be renewing this subscription again and again!


title: Great product!

text: Love this magazine! Look forward to it each month


title: Beautiful

text: Love the style of this magazine


title: Information!

text: Love love love!


title: Great magazine! I enjoyed reading it

text: Great magazine! I enjoyed reading it! I also enjoy their show, and the magazine reads very much like how they are on the show.


title: A great magazine!

text: I got a subscription to this magazine for my father last year for Christmas.  I looked at as many of the various cycling magazines I could get my hands on and this one is hands down the best.  My dad loves it!  He reads each issue cover to cover and then reads it again.  It has some of the best advice on parts and trails and how to train and prepare.  It's not the fluff you get with American cycling magazines.  This is for serious cyclists who want more out of a magazine than an advertisement for the latest, most expensive part.


title: Five Stars

text: I love this magazine.  It is the only one I read on arrival.


title: Love this Mag!

text: Loads of neat information and recipes.


title: Don’t buy!!!!

text: I payed for a year subscription and only got one magazine in four months.


title: 6 year old likes it

text: I haven't gotten any of the junk/promo subscriptions that others are complaining about.  That said I teach my kid about things in life and to never trust when someone or something says 'free'.  My 6 years old knows that in the end, everybody just wants your money, so don't get fooled/tricked.  So when he saw the 'free/ask your parents/you win' promos, he checked with me first and I read him the fine print and explained how the hook and sinker of 'the free deal' to him.<br />The magazine itself is pretty fun for him, some stuff he is too young for, some stuff is too easy. Thats good this way he can grow with it.
