title: Kid-friendly, parent-approved

text:
Click is one of the best magazines out there for the 4 to 6 year old age group. Great photos, great articles that explain interesting themes in a simple, concrete, but never patronizing way, and lovely complementary cartoons.

Best of all, there are NO ADVERTISEMENTS. Yup. Just pure reading pleasure for you and your kids.


title: Why buy the magazine when you can watch ads on T.V. for free?

text:
...because that's all this magazine is: an advertising vehicle aimed at kids who aren't old enough to discriminate between ads and actual content yet.

Don't be fooled by the venerable "National Geographic" name: this publications pays only the briefest lip service to educational content. When my son received it as a gift I was shocked to see that the ads were virtually indistiguishable from the articles. And in fact, the ads were often much more visually interesting.

The photos were excellent, I must admit. But the layout was jazzed up to the point of absurdity, as if designed to play to kids with minuscule attention spans. The science facts were sound, but again, the articles were cut absurdly short, more like squibs and factoids than actual articles, as if the editors believe that kids couldn't possibly focus on one topic long enough to actually read more than 250 words about it...or maybe because they didn't want to distract the kids from all that tantalizingly lucrative advertising stuffed onto every page.

As an editor and a parent, I am appalled by this magazine and would not recommend it to anyone. National Geographic should be ashamed of itself for pushing this kind of junk on young readers. Avoid this publication like the plague.


title: High marks!

text:
I subscribed to this magazine one year ago. Out of the four issues I've received this year, I've knitted at least one project idea from each issue, and three so far from the fall issue alone (!) and each has turned out beautifully.

I haven't read any other knitting magazines that appeal to me as consistently as this one. I've noticed that each issue has a careful balance of projects, appealing to both genders and to all levels of knitting expertise.

Each issue contains a few "gee-whiz!" type articles in the front with interesting, exotic and sometimes downright weird news about the knitting world (like, who knew that knitting could be considered performance art?).

There's usually an exotic "catch-the-eye" or cutting-edge fashion project, followed by other apparel projects that are always beautiful, visually appealing and frequently wearable, too! Although the magazine does occasionally include items that make me shake my head in disbelief, Interweave Knits generally seems to select projects that real humans can wear without looking like freaks.

You'll also find a couple of ideas for non-apparel and/or "quick gift"-type projects in each issue, ranging from felted backpacks and novelty purses to baby hats.

Now, if all this sounds good, just wait: it gets better. The real clincher for me is that the patterns seem to have been tested and carefully proof-read BEFORE going to press. I've worked 7 projects from IWK this year, and have yet to catch a single mistake in pattern directions! Maybe I've just been lucky so far, but I noticed on the IWK website that the list of errata is amazingly short...so either they don't update errata onto their website, or they really don't allow a lot of mistakes to slip through.

In short, I think "Interweave Knits" provides a lot of bang for your subscription bucks. Two thumbs up from me!


title: Disappointed

text: We had been receiving Parenting for a few years, and I finally got tired of the focus being on stay at home moms as well as the fact that it ignored dads (or were negative about them as co-parents).  I was impressed with Working Mother's corporate award and parts of their website so I had high expectation that the magazine would be intellectually stimulating as well as practical.  So far, I find it to be about the same as Parenting.


title: Great magazine!

text: I received the first magazine but I don’t know when is coming the next one!


title: Great magazine for children

text: My kids love these magazines and look forward to getting them in the mail. I’m so glad I purchased them!


title: Great reading, great eating

text: I'll admit, the first thing I do when I open a cooking magazine is flip through the recipe index to see which appetizers, entrees , or desserts I want to try in the coming weeks.  With Food & Wine, there are always several dishes that sound scrumptious and are often easy to prepare (especially with their new quick meals feature).  But unlike other food magazines, this one has articles that are just as delicious to savor.  From descriptions of breakfast at a film shoot in Trinidad & Tobago to a writer's loving reminiscences of his ancient, creaky stove, each issue leaves an aftertaste that will make you hungry for more.


title: Miss this mag!

text: Always love to read Lucky, too bad they discontinued!

text: I love decorating and this magazine has everything that I need, I just simply love each and every article.  For those who like to re-decorate your home every now and then, this is the best guide you'll find.  I highly recommend it.


title: Good magazine

text: My dad likes this magazine. It was his gift a few years ago, but he decided to continue his subscription. I think it is a good magazine for wine collectors and those who prefer to know more about good wine.


title: Not excited about printed recipes at all

text: Recipes are way out there


title: Martha isn't just for your mother!

text:
There is a reason that people place ads on Craigslist looking for old Martha Stewart magazines, and why they sell for a pretty penny on Ebay. Martha Stewart Living is a great magazine for those  who really like to try their hand at creation of all sorts.Being a thirty-something gal who is learning to cook, bake, garden, can, decorate and entertain, I am in love with this magazine. Not only is it beautiful from cover to cover with stunning photography and eye-catching layouts, it is filled with ideas and inspiration for young women like myself who are coming into their adult lives who want to make a house feel like a home and who want to host signature events.

Having grown up fed processed foods and taking weekly family grocery trips to the Costco, I never knew the power of tending a garden or making jam. Now,I feel empowered when I create pizza dough from scratch, or make my home beautiful for a party, or create that special greeting card with help from this magazine. Martha Stewart Living is a reminder to all of us that we can do things for ourselves.

Some reviewers have said that ideas in the magazine are out-of-touch, or too costly due to specialized equipment, and that is true. Some of the ideas in this magazine are not five and dime craft time with baby projects - some are very sophisticated and I appreciate that, even if I cannot participate myself just yet. Most the ideas in this magazine are very accessible to anyone who can afford the subscription.  SO much so that for Christmas I bought a gift subscription for my best friend who lives far away from me. Each month, we call each other the day our magazines arrive and get excited about the new ideas together.

My Martha Stewart Living magazines are craft/entertainment library treasures. I look at them time and time again and cannot imagine ever not wanting to keep each issue - now isn't that saying something about the quality of the product? I think so.


title: It's really inspirational and has great information.

text: I got it for Christmas present for a friend. She really enjoys it and I'm considering ordering it for myself.


title: Perfect fo growing a lifelong love of reading.

text: My 2-year old daughter has been recieving babybug for a year now and I couldnt be more pleased with this publication. Each edition contains simple stories, poems, colorful illustrations and photographs that are perfectly suited to very young children. We have kept every issue and they are all bedtime favorites requested and read over and over. The magazine's pages are heavy and have held up well over dozens of readings. Definately recommend for all babies and toddlers.


title: great resource for tips

text:
I have kept all past issues of Good Housekeeping Magazine because of the useful tips each one holds. Unlike other magazines, GH is not based around pages featuring 1 ad each. Instead, each page features, tests, and reviews products (ex: top hair products) and offers the reasons why we should trust them to tell us it the best for our money. In addition to tips, readers can expect to find one to three pages devoted to subjects such as; parenting, exercise and diet, organizing, and money saving tips.

My favorite is the fashion section. Each month, I tear-out the fashion pages and combine them with style tips from MORE and HEALTH magazine and place them inside my own "Fashion Tips" binder. I keep the binder at work on the break table. What better way to inform co-workers how to spruce up their wardrobe!

Plus, there is always a new recipe listed in the Food and Nutrition section. My only request would be to add a gardening section. The section on decorating is also a little weak but that is why I subscribe to decorating magazines as well.


This magazine has been a favorite in our house for years! Our kids all want to be first to read it when it arrives in our mailbox!


title: Reader’s Digest is still my favorite

text: Finally got my first copy after many weeks of waiting.  RD is such a throw back to a world where you could immerse yourself in short stories to get away from all the problems of the day.  The only problem is pacing myself so I don’t finish it off in one sitting LOL


title: Good ish

text: Great magazine subscription! No complaints, what so ever! Happy customer!


title: Name and address of receiver

text: The product is just great this is the second time that aI ordered this magazine for my Grand daughter however it has my Grandson’s name on it.<br />I called twice with regards to having it corrected and the representative assured me that she corrected the right name on the magazine…. Still incorrect


title: Tons of Organized Monthly Recipes

text: Great deal on a magazine subscription. We love getting the new recipes each month.


title: Great deal for the subscription

text: Love getting these recipes monthly!


title: I want my money back!

text: Offers a good cheap deal and SUBSCRIBES you for an additional deal for A HUGE FEE. Will not allow you to cancel. I want my money  back.


title: I guess it's okay if you LIKE paying to read ads.

text: The content IS advertising! The whole magazine is nothing but promotion of products, and they should pay ME to read it.


title: Good....

text: Jane is alright. Not the best nor worst.  They don't have enough styles in it.  I think it's a little too much focus on one thing.


title: Country Living-Not just for Country Folk

text: Love everything about this mag! From the beautiful and easy to replicate home decor, to the recipes, tips and more! The photography is stunning and I can always find something in this mag that I would love to do in my own home, and can usually do it without breaking the bank!


title: Good Housekeeping-Woman's Day's lesser counterpart

text: I didn't care for this magazine at all. I thought it was a cheapo copy of Woman's Day and had less applicable articles in it. The recipes were meh, mostly things that my family would never eat.


title: Woman's Day is Fabulous!

text: Love this magazine! From the handy tips, to the easy craft/home decor projects, to the tasty recipes, Woman's Day has it all!


title: LOVE this mag!

text: This magazine always has such great recipes that are both easy to make and tasty. I use it all the time and my family loves the recipes I try!


title: Prevention Magazine

text: I've been reading Orevention for 9 years and it never disappoint me. It has useful information about health as well as fitness. It has a small pocket size which is convinient if you want to take it with you.


title: lies to readers

text: Putting Vani Hari in the cover? Bad move.  She is the most uncredentialed fear monger out there. Any magazine that would use her to promote themselves is a magazine nit worth reading.


title: Gift for a bride-to-be

text: When my friend asked me to be in her wedding I was honored and wanted to thank her in some way. Getting her a year subscription to "Bride" magazine was perfect. It gave her lots of great ideas for her upcoming wedding.


title: Good For a Few Years

text:
I have gotten this magazine for almost four years now. I have truly enjoyed many of the issues, and not one has hit the garbage can. Several of the recipes have become "regulars" that my husband and I cook and eat quite often. It also helped me to cook more healthfully overall, and inspired me to buy Eating Well cookbooks, which I also like a lot. I really like that the recipes do not call for a lot of over-processed "diet" food that's so chemically altered it's not even food anymore.

I am taking one star off because after awhile, I've found the articles redundant and a little preachy. I've read so many articles on ocean sustainability in the last two years that I'm sick to death of the topic. Also, as some other reviewers have said, the magazine does call for unusual, sometimes expensive, ingredients in their recipes, though most experienced cooks will know how to substitute for things that can't find or afford, or at least glean the relevant information and apply it to a different dish. For instance, one of our favorites is Cube Steak Milanese. In the original recipe, it called for an arugula salad and panko breadcrumbs. Over the years, we've adapted it to include a much more affordable tomato salad and regular breadcrumbs.

I recommend getting a subscription, but it may not be something you hang onto for more than a few years. I, for one, am not renewing my subscription this time, but my collection will be thumbed through for years to come.

title: In-depth essays and reviews for the science enthusiast

text:
American Scientist showcases practicing scientists who convey in-depth technical articles about all matters of science to other scientists and science enthusiasts.  American Scientist goes beyond the general reporting, interpreted research results and headline making science articles found in many newspaper dailies and popular science rags.  Here you get to read scientists in their own words, edited, but not peer reviewed, bringing their research to a larger audience than colleagues in their narrow field of study.  Instead of dumb downed popularizing, American Scientist delivers "conversation-upped" essays and book reviews on all matters of scientific inquiry.

The reasonably well educated public, even without a formal science background, but with an interest in science topics may find this magazine worthwhile.  There are a handful of regular essayists, including the popular Henry Petroski, whose articles are always fun to read.  Feature articles can cover more technical depth and depending on your interest may be hit or miss from time to time, but in my experience they are generally a hit.  A recent issue includes essays on the impending decision whether to continue synchronizing UTC to Earth time or not, and observations about the universe that affect the possibility of life nearest to our own.

As you might expect, you get a good dose of astronomy, engineering, computer science, biology and mathematics, which are among the recurring topics.  While popular science magazines often try to entice you with how it's headlines will change your life in the future, American Scientist takes a more reasonable view and enables you do more of the forecasting yourself by providing you with a better fundamental understanding of what scientists know now.

American Scientist is a serious magazine without being too seriously to be a bore.  If you're interested in science, this is a magazine you should definitely consider adding to your reading list.


title: Fantastic, real science delivered in a kid's magazine

text:
The Cricket Magazine Group produces a number of high-quality, no nonsense magazines for kids.  Ask is just one terrific example in their lineup.  If your child enjoyed Click, a magazine from the same group in a similar vein for 3 to 6 year olds, they are very likely to enjoy Ask.  If they didn't enjoy Click, you might give Ask a try anyway.  It is meant for 6 to 9 year olds, however some of the content is, perhaps surprisingly, relatively mature for the younger ages so they may get a lot more out of it you don't just give it to them and walk away.  That may of course be true for most serious material designed for children in this age bracket.

From a recent issue, allow me to demonstrate with a story about how size influences seemingly super power ability, or not.  They setup the educational part of the article very playfully: `So what are these rules that stop us from having super powers?  They aren't rules made by humans that you can disobey, like "no ice cream until you eat your broccoli."'  Many stories weaves kid-friendly language and serious concepts like that.  This one goes on to say, `How much food and air bodies need depends on their volume and weight.  But the strength of muscles and size of organs depend on the body's cross section.'  Out of context, that last sentence may seem too sophisticated a concept for 6 year olds, but it's marvelously done, not talking down to kids, but reaching them in a way they can understand.

Each issue is about 30 pages.  There are no ads.  There are short recurring cartoon strips, short stories, even shorter one or two paged theme-based "Scoops" and a Contest and Letters section.  The contributions from other kids around the globe is a great part of this magazine and may help motivate your children as well.  Encouraging children to participate by submitting material to the magazine is a good way to keep them engaged and interested.

As a learning tool, a means to encourage curiosity, to develop an interest in science and foster reading, Ask is a wonderful resource in the right setting.


title: Overall, a worthwhile, stimulating and important periodical

text:
Note, below I'm copying the review I gave this magazine a few years ago, but somehow the Amazon entry for this magazine changed and all the reviews did not carry over.  You can still find those old ones by looking at my old reviews.  My original review I still agree with.  However, fiction has been moved out into a separate, yearly dedicated fiction issue.

The Atlantic is a classic cultural, political and literary voice of America. First published by a team that included legendary icons such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, this periodical went on to include articles from great historical figures such as Mark Twain, Woodrow Wilson and Martin Luther King Jr. It may be hard to place current contributors next to those specific individuals who came before them, but they do stand tall with contemparies published in similar venues.

This is not a magazine for those who currently feel they are well enough informed from the current crop of "news-tainment" programs, talking heads and mouthpieces found on the air waves today. Here you'll find in-depth, critical analysis and intelligent literature.

Will you disagree with some points of view and might you feel compelled to label something in it's pages conservative or liberal? Maybe, but it's understandable in today's climate. I would suggest that you'd probably be trying too hard, perhaps unconsciously, to fit authors and articles into a particular partisan column. The letters to the editor tend to highlight differing points of view so I encourage you to read back in the following month to see how others respond to get a feel for the magazine. I think most reasonable people tend to find this magazine well worth the time to read regularly.

Recently there has usually been one full length article related to an issue in the Middle East each month, which should be expected with current events, but the content varies significantly within each issue that you won't feel overwhelmed. There are regular sections and columns ranging from travel to book reviews to fiction to a "post mortem" profiling some notable world figure who has recently passed away.

By way of comparison, Harper's and The New Yorker are probably the closest in style, though The New Yorker comes out weekly (mostly) instead of monthly (mostly) like the Atlantic and Harper's. If you're trying to decide between the three, pick up each of them for two or three months and see which you like best. I prefer to Atlantic overall, but if I have time, I may pick up one or the other if some particular topic in it is particularly of interest to me.

Bottom line is, you could do a lot worse than subscribe to The Atlantic.


title: Excellent starter magazine for kids

text: Along with Ladybug, another Cricket Publications magainze for kids, Click is best in its class for 2 to 6 year olds.  Where Ladybuy is largely fantasy, fables, fairy tales and loose play, Click is more pragmatic.  Each issue has a theme on some worldly issue or basic knowledge. For example one recent feature focuses on recognizing and understanding the value of money.  Another on the recycling.  If that seems dry to you, don't fret, each theme is playfully introduced through cartoons and kid-friendly devices such as cut-out projects and picture association games.  Recurring features such as "Yo Wants to Know", "Click and the Kids" and "Beatrice Black Bear" helps excite kids to look forward to and identify with regular characters and themes.  No less important, no annoying ads.  Highly recommended.


title: On the short list of the best in it's class

text:
There are a number of magazines available for young children, but very few approach the quality of Ladybug.  This monthly literary magazine for very young children aged 2-6 weighs in at about 35 pages and includes no advertising whatsoever.

Inside the typical issue you find poems, songs, short stories, a cut-out activity and other educational devices.  The pages are all glossy color that include drawings of the subject at hand, often involving animals or the types of characters you might expect to find in a nursery rhyme or fable.  The cut-out activity might involve constructing a scene or the pieces to simple board game.

Ladybug would be an excellent choice for most any young child whether they already enjoy reading or to help encourage them to do so.  I also suggest you take a look at Zootles, a similarly high quality magazine where animals are the main theme for children in the same age group appropriate for Ladybug.


title: Excellent for young children

text:
Zootles is a relatively new bimonthly from the creators of Zoobooks.  Zootles features vivid, colorful spreads of wild animals, drawings of wildlife, stories, poems, games and other activities geared towards very young children aged 2 to 6.  Each Zootles issue features a different animal and the focus tends to be on young animals or those often popular with young children (e.g. baby zebras, tiger cubs, rabbits, horses, elephants).

Zootles presents the material in an educational and fun way without being "baby-ish".  The themes tend to revolve around physical and developmental characteristics of the animal mixed in with fundamental learning skills such as reading, rhymes, counting and pattern recognition.

Each issue features a particular number and letter each month and there is a recurring character, an otter, which is part of an regular comic strip on the back cover, that playfully guides the entire magazine along.  The middle includes a bit more advanced detail about the animal featured and a page or two of additional resources and tips for parents who wish to engage their children further based on the current issue's theme.

There is no advertising other than the subscriber insert cards for the magazine itself.  Each issue is about 20 pages.

This is one of the few magazines I've found most appropriate for and enjoyable by very young children.  I also suggest you consider Ladybug, which is geared towards the same age group, but is a more general literary magazine with stories, poems, songs and games for kids in the same age bracket.


title: Worth your consideration

text:
Harper's, like the Atlantic and The New Yorker is written for those looking for more in-depth analysis and coverage on political and cultural affairs with a sampling of serious literary prose.  Personally I prefer the Atlantic, which I read regularly, only picking up Harper's when I have time and something in it interests me, which is usually two or three times a year.

Just looking at the cover and pages inside convey Harper's as a serious tome, perhaps too serious for the casual reader, especially compared to the more colorful pages of the Atlantic and playful New Yorker cartoons.  Nevertheless, Harper's is an American icon in it's genre having published many articles from great names since it's inception in 1850.

A number of reviewers complain about it being left leaning and that stance clearly sprouts from the now recently departed editor Lewis Lapham, who has been an outspoken critic of the current administration.  Mr. Lapham shares his views in a two page opinion piece and in the full page listing of various "fun facts" known as the Harper's Index.  Serious readers will be able to get beyond this as simply a "viewpoint" and see the entire magazine for the serious writing that it is.  I would contend this represents the best in "critical analysis" rather than bias.  I would also simply suggest you view the other reviews made by people espousing this periodical as overly biased.  For instance, at least one of those claiming liberal bias here is also praising an Ann Coulter book.

So if you feel underwhelmed by the typical content you get even in a 60 minute broadcast or a political round table free-for-all and you're interested enough in this magazine to read it's reviews, you should probably pick up a copy of it for two or three months and give it a try.  I recommend you also check out The New Yorker and the Atlantic to compare.

title: The subscription price is a steal...literally

text:
Let me preface my review by saying V is a 5 star magazine. It's the hip, bratty, younger sister to W.  The format is large. The pages are thick and glossy.  The photography is cool and edgy.

The 1 star is for their mail order subscriptions and customer service.

A few years ago I subscribed to V magazine, received three issues in the mail and never received the remaining issues in my subscription.  I called customer service, which from my phone call experience I imagined a teenage girl working freelance out of her cramp NYC studio apartment. She assured me they will send the current issue asap. I wait and wait and wait some more. I never receive the current issue or any others.

Fast forward to today.  Glutton for punishment I re-subscribed to V thinking my past experience was a fluke.  I've received two issues but have yet to receive the current issue even though I've seen it on the magazine racks. I'm going to give customer service another try but I've pretty much kissed my money and remaining subscription issues goodbye.

My advice DO NOT subscribe to V directly.  You'll be lucky if you recieve even one issue in the mail.  Pick it up from your local bookstore/newstand insead.  Even though the subscription price is a deal they will literally steal your money from you.

Do heed at the 1 star reviews about their customer service.  I will never subscribe to V magazine again.

title: Very Narrow Prime Time Coverage (7:00-10:00PM with 6-10 on Sun) Used to be a 24 Hr TV Guide.  Then it was good!

text: Complete Coverage>> is Prime Time ONLY,  and then near totally divorced from any coverage of the rest of the 24 hour period.  A&E, Discover, and other channels often have totally WRONG programing listed.  You often find article pages placed between the channel coverage for single nights, making it harder than necessary to check programing.  The large number of present day channels, obviously created a problem for inclusion of listings, which the publishers were not able to acceptably handle.<br />This magazine used to be a VERY GOOD "SMALL BOOK" of great TV Programing Coverage.  It also used to cover Local Stations by focus on different regions of the country.  Now it all comes out only in  Eastern Time Zone figures.  It has NO COVERAGE of local events, Like Spring State Basketball Tournaments.  And yes, it used to sell for 15 Cents.  You can get subscriptions now for 36 Cents an issue and you can also pay a lot more.  BUT, It  doesn't hold a candle to the excellent 15 Cent, small size Extremely Informative, Regional programing Centered Magazine----of this magazines long lost but wonderful past.  They changed to the large page format years ago, but present day buyers who think its good magazine should take note of the highly successful Regional Full Coverage magazine that started this company out.  What exists today is a shameful ghost of the useful magazine of the past.

text: My seven year old daughter is waiting for her next issue with baited breath! The articles tap into the resiliency of childhood and give girls articles from girls their own age, mothers and professionals that remember and value what it meant to be a girl before the intense branding and normalization into gender roles began. I applaud American Girl for their efforts and for reminding me of my own childhood and the magic that can still be found there. It's refreshing to see a complete lack of drama, scantily clad girls who aren't ready to be women in contentious realms of modern society, and to witness the conspicuously lacking drive girls today seem to have to hide who they are with makeup and social pressure. Well done! I'm a subscriber as long as I have young girls in my life! Now please help us find an option like this for our sons!


It's a great publication that one can learn a lot from, covering a lot of topics that cover about everything you could possibly wish to learn about.

text: Make Up Artist Magazine used to be a decent trade publication where professional makeup artists could pool and share information.  Unfortunately, that was years ago.

Generally, not worth the time if you're a professional in the business.

title: Totally cool, great deal on

title: Five Stars

text: this is a great magazine...bought it for many years at the grocery


title: Good, not Great

text: I ordered this based on ratings, not realizing that it's not a full sized magazine. Regardless of that, it's good, but not great. I already get Cooks Illustrated and Cooking Light and just wasn't blown away with the content.

title: EXCELLENT GIFT ITEM!!

text: I subscribed to "Martha Stewart Living" last year for my mom for her birthday.  She has always been an avid Martha fan.  She absolutely loved the magazine and hinted that she would like it again this year for her birthday.  She shares it with my aunts, and they gather on Saturdays and bake and make things described in the magazine.  They all truly love the magazine.  I am a Martha fan as well.  All my bathroom decor, linens, etc. are Martha Stewart brand.  If you have a mother, wife, etc. who enjoys Martha's television program, I highly suggest you subsribe to the magazine as a gift for them.  They will truly love it!

text: My favorite magazine and delivered before I expected it!  Thank you!


title: Great deal

text: Love the magazine.


title: I love Surfer magazine

text: I love Surfer magazine. Ive subscribed for years. My only ccomplaint is that I bought this subscription in early December and it says my first copy will arrive late February. Really? What gives? In this day and agee that needs to be sped up- 3 months to get your first copy of a magazine is a bit disappointing.


title: Lots of things

text: Good


title: Mature Audience Only

text:
My daughter (age 9) and I went into the local skate shop and picked up an issue of this mag as recommended by the young clerk. I thought it'd be good to look at since my daughter is showing an interest in the sport and we're thinking about a better board for her.

We thumbed through it together and I found that some of the articles were well-written and interesting, but some were really profane - lots of nasty stuff and promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. There were also no female skaters and nothing good to say about women - bummer.

So I let her look at the pictures and tore out some of the text - probably 10 pages. There was a pretty cool DVD (an extended ad for element skateboards) that came with it that I think she'll enjoy. But parents should be aware that this is not kid-friendly.


title: Subscription Ripoff

text:
I truly enjoyed this magazine for the first year I subscribed. I have been practicing for 38 years and teaching for 28.

After I renewed I discovered Master Kamal was no longer involved and was truly disappointed.

I was even more disappointed when I only received one or two issues from the subscription.

No I will not renew a magazine that is not delivered as agreed.

title: Thumbs up

text: Saving a lot money with this gift. Reading Popular Science  all most every day infrom me on up and coming products.


title: Really???

text: My wife ordered this subscription for my 13-year old thinking that it would be a little more tame than Seventeen. Boy, were we wrong!!! This magazine is full of obsessing on guys and (...crushes on girls), very little on fashion, and friendship. This magazine is targeted for teens that have no home life and are seeking their identity through who they've kissed and how popular they are. We're canceling!!!


title: most excellant

text: purchased a  gift and was told very very satisfied with it. very good articles clear and concise glad I purchased it


title: A great read

text: Topics, interesting, factual.


title: like everything else

text: I was 15 Y.O. when I received my first subscription to Prevention Magazine. I am 55 now.  The magazine was made from recycled paper, with very few, if any advertisements.  Now, like everything else, it has been bought out and corrupt.  The ads run in this magazine are mostly for pharmaceuticals.  Why is a health magazine promoting use of pharmaceutical drugs?..........Money!!!!!!!!!!!  Shame on you Prevention/Rodale press. Some things shouldn't carry a price tag....


title: Woman's Day has always been awesome!

text: Great price for a subscription. Arrives on time as promised. Great way to receive my favorite magazines.


title: Got to keep it real

text: No substitute for natural


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine for knife collectors!!!!  if you really really like/love to collect knives - this is a mandatory subscription


title: For Music Mavens ! RECOMMENDED

text: MOJO magazine is simply the best reading a music lover can get their hands on in the 21st century ! It covers rock and roll ,and all its off shoots, from back when "ROCK" meant everything to its early fans ; recommended for those of us with an English rock music addiction : The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Hendrix ,The Who,Yardbirds ,Pretty Things, Genesis, Hawkwind ,Motorhead, Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, etc.Usually available at Borders and Barnes & Noble the 15th of each month.  Howard D. White, collector.


title: A solid magazine

text: EQMM is definitely a worthwhile magazine for any true fan of mysteries.  Is every story exceptional, of course not and that's unrealistic to expect it to be.  The stories are however entertaining and you get the opportunity to see something from some of your favorite writers.  I think it's enjoyable to read a short story from writers you like whether it is a surefire classic or just another tale.  To address, some of the issues by the jaded first reviewer, look at it from the standpoint of a mystery lover.  If the publishers only produced great classic books, we would have only a handful of books each year, instead of the masses that readers have the fun of combing thru each year. The pages smudge, but this is not a magazine that is mass produced like People or Time or Sports Illustrated.  At the current price, you could probably only get one to two stories a month for glossy pages.  If you're reluctant to get a subscription then at least go to your local bookstore and buy the latest copy of EQMM and find out for yourself how enjoyable getting a quick glimpse into dozen of mystery writers can be.


title: Rolling Stone Magazine

text: Rolling Stone magazine has been THE magazine for music and pop culture since it began in 1967.  It also has excellent political pieces which I enjoy as well.  It is a magazine that many should subscribe to.


title: Good ole boat indeed

text: Wonderful publication for those of us that own boats of a certain age


title: Cheapskate No More

text: CJ is one of my favorite sites, a daily go-to. Excellent writing, and a handsome site. So, today I decided to stop being a piker and subscribe.


title: Culural Outpost

text: I'm not qualified to say what the best magazine covering culture is. But from what I've seen, The New Criterion is my favorite. Congratulations to Roger Kimball and his crew for keeping the flame of civilization burning in a dark epoch.


title: Rolling Stone subscription

text: Being a former subscriber and having let my subscription lapse after moving from New England to SW Florida 17 years ago, I had forgotten just how much I missed the reviews and news in each issue. It's good to back in the know.


title: not what i expected about the magazine

text: Not what i expected needs more news about stars i think its for young people .it shows only glamour and make up


title: Don’t read it any more

text: Please cancel this subscription.  It keeps renewing and I no longer want or enjoy this r


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine. Lots of great articles and pictures !!


title: Not again...sorry.

text: Well...I wish I could glow about this mag as I have in the past, but I can't. 1) I thought with a subscription I work also get the on line version as well. My mistake.  2) My paper copy was always later than news stand version. I have enjoy this mag so much in the past, I now buy it at the store. Yes, the quality has gone down also. So would I subscribe again. No. rh


title: Waste of time

text: Weekly magazines in the digital age really aren't all that useful--it's old news by the time it reaches your mailbox.  The marriage of Bloomberg and BusinessWeek is no different.  Business requires a faster turnaround time than what a weekly print publication can deliver to end users.


title: Informative and Fun to Read

text: I am a repeat subscriber.  LOVE this magazine.  Very informative and wonderful photos.


title: From a 13 year old

text: This is the only political magazine that makes legitimate points that are not bias and then acutully supports them. I am sick of all this liberal propaganda that is everywhere. Newspapers, Magazines, televison, and even at school my teachers try to influence the students' political views. If you like Sean Hannity than I garrenty that you will enjoy this magazine.


title: Great-Great Lakes refference!

text:
The most thorough and learned and not to mention the most well-illustrated annual magizine guide available from the Great Lakes shipping scene. I've been ordering each one since 1996, and it's not just for the casual or consistant boat watcher, but for anyone interested in the maritime world as well as the Geat Lakes. Some of the world's most unique vessles are in this region, and the book that showcases the boats and ships of the past, present, and future is Know Your Ships--publishing since 1959, the year the St. Lawrence Seaway opened. A must-have.

My only worry is that the subscription goes through well here as it did for Barnes and Noble, the people I used to order from, but it should. Each issue comes out by late March through early April each year.


title: Best little magazine

text: I thoroughly enjoy reading this magazine. So many human interest stories, Word Power, stories sent in by readers: all are interesting reads.


title: ... take the magazine but I am sure it is good.

text: I never did take the magazine but I am sure it is good.


title: Awful

text: Awful


title: Five Stars

text: Ok


title: Personal mail for granddaughter

text: This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter and the first issue arrived in plenty of time for Christmas.  She loves the magazine and it makes her feel grown up to be getting mail delivered to her personally.  She enjoys the activities and storys and I enjoy reading them to her.


title: Lots of variety in a small magazine.

text: This little magazine is full of a variety of beautiful, charming and useful patterns from seasonal decorations, doilies and afghans to very pretty clothing and accessories.  The patterns don't employ lots of special stitches so it's easy going for just about anyone. Having checked out nearly every crochet magazine currently offered, I'd say this is well worth the subscription price for all but those who want only specialty and/or really challenging projects.


title: Very satisified with it.

text: I have subscribed for many years and have been satisfied with it.


title: It is just one source.

text: It is a good source for finding out how people are thinking about international relations. I don't agree with most of them


title: Rock and Gem...the best! 40 years and still going strong!

text: It is hard to believe but I bought my first "Rock and Gem" magazines when I was a kid in New Jersey. Garden State News on Central Ave, Jersey City, NJ. Recently I received a magazine in the mail from my subscription and it said 40 years old! Wow! Is that how long it has been? I was like 9 years old when I bought my first Rock and Gem magazines! I am 50 now...man where did the time go?! Anyway this magazine is still superb and even better now because the quality of the photography has improved over the years. Yes it is true the advertisements tend to be the same a lot but that is how they can afford to keep going. I hope they keep going as it is nice to be able to get a magazine that has good and interesting news and articles and makes you feel good! It keeps you interested in your hobby that you have loved for so many years. Or maybe get someone else interested in it for the first time! Great magazine!


title: kind of wimpy

text: OK, the articles in The Atlantic are really good but it seems like a somewhat equivocal magazine, like the editors sit on both sides of all kinds of fences and try to maximize their readership by carefully picking articles that will not go too far in any particular direction. During the election season they had a nice photo of McCain on the cover and then a rather menacing photo of Obama--one of those few photos that make him look like an angry Malcolm X kind of figure--and then after he won they put a very nice photo of him on the cover and have been very glowing about him ever since. I don't find that this magazine goes as deep as it should, considering its age and venerable status. It's really good and the editors get the cream of the crop to pick from--every good writer would want to be published in it--but I feel somewhat let down by it. In other words, it's seen better days....and years...


title: good writing but the cynicism drags it down

text: OK, this is major league journalism and if you want a leftist progressive perspective it's about as good as it gets. But what turns me off--even though I still reluctantly read it--is the level of cynicism that typically pervades its pages. It ought to be called "Sardonica." No matter what, they will criticize, they will find fault, they will give reason for despair. Sometimes the editors rise out of it, as when they did an article on how capitalism might be saved in which they included the brilliant thoughts of a number of well-spoken visionaries. But in general the cynicism drags it down. There's also a kind of stylish decadence about it, an undercurrent of futility. I mean, when GWB was elected, all the conservative publications were like "Here's our chance. Let's make the most of it." Obama's hasn't even served a year yet and Harper's has already run a feature article about how he is going to fail. With friends like that, who needs....Harper's!

text: Brother in law loves it


title: A "must have" for anyone interested in the past

text: I love this magazine! It is full of interesting and unusual articles about things I never knew about as well as things I wanted to know more about. All written professionally, with great photos. Does not have filler ads.


title: Couple of writers do all the articles, most pages only ads

text: This is a skimpy magazine with several writers doing all the articles. It is not worth the price, or the time to read it. Dreadful stuff, poorly written, of marginal interest. The body of the magazine is nothing but ads. If there were a place to put zero stars, that's what this would get.


title: This is great!

text: We have always been a Reader's Digest family.  Love this magazine!!!


title: Love this Magazine--great travel tips &insight into culture

text:
This magazine has beautiful photography and excellent articles.
It covers all of German speaking Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) as well as covering German events in the United States.
There are often historical articles and nostalgic pieces as well as news stories and editorials. I especially like the travel advice as it is often for areas off the beaten path.
I end up reading it cover to cover each issue


title: Not As Good As Creem, But Not Far Off...

text:
My head pulsates with useless music trivia and knowledge, most it from reading magazines like "Mojo."  Let's face it - the Brits have the market cornered on quality music-centric publications right now with this one, "Classic Rock," "Q," and, occasionally, "Uncut," - but "Mojo's" editors need to get over their obsessive compulsive infatuation with The Beatles and Bob Dylan, both of whom's influence and importance in the grand scheme of rock and roll's lore has been grossly overrated.  Live with it (and let the hate mail start rolling)!

That minor caveat out of the way, "Mojo's" writing is the essence of drive, simplicity, and reverence for its subject matter (two words - Ben Edmonds), no small feat.  Their feature articles are loaded with facts and information even I've never read before and the layout is spot-on brilliant.  And how's this for innovation?  The reviews section skimps on neither quantity nor quality.

While I can't pretend to automatically snap up each issue of "Mojo" like I do with "Classic Rock," I'm usually on the latest issue at my newstand like dirt on a dog, as evidenced by the stack of back issues at Casa Paull which now towers above all three of my kids.  And if all of this isn't enough, most issues come with a free sampler CD of tunes at least marginally related to the cover story - that's called "gravy."

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  It's not half-full of ads, like "Rolling Stone."

Highly recommended.


title: Bird Lovers' Magazine

text: It's a wonderful magazine for the bird lover.  The articles provide good tips on how to attract "good" birds to your feeders.  I'm not a flower guy, but the information provided regarding flowers is very useful.


title: Magazines

text: I can't live without NY Magazine. My family and friends call it my "bible". I live in NYC and mostly want to know goings-on within NYC & NY State. Occasionally the primary theme of an issue is shopping or sports, neither of which I have any interest in, but there are always things to read about theater, music, real estate, movie and book reviews. I've given subscriptions as gifts to family and friends in NJ & FL and they've enjoyed it too. Amazon was fast in filling my order too!


title: Fantastic magazine

text: I love this magazine.  It makes me long to get back to Maine.  I've been there many times.  I read it cover  to cover

text: When they decided to get Political, I decided to drop my subscription. I read this magazine for tech news, not for Politics.


title: Not thrilled.

text: If you only do silversmithing, this is a good magazine. I do lapidary also and prefer Jewelry Artist which has articles on both.


title: Good Mag

text: This is a good magazine. It has good articles on health and diet. The recipes and beauty articles are a plus.


title: Lindaz

text: This is a good magazine for lapaidary and jewelry beginning artists to learn from the experts. I especially like the new tools articles.


title: Excellent professional journal, but time to cancel for us

text: It is a great journal, though a bit depressing if you are an environmentalist.  We would like to cancel our subscription. Are you at Amazon renewing it without getting our permission?


title: Always many fascinating reads

text: This is absolutely the most interesting and informed magazine, and I read a lot of magazines


title: Five Stars

text: My favorite magazine! I love everything pop culture and entertainment weekly covers it all.

text: Great magazine. Lots and lots of cool and interesting projects.


title: If you ;ove the magazine you will love the app.

text: Sometimes VF is just to big to lug around.  It jams up the mailbox too! But with the Kindle all that weight is lifted.  If you like the advertisements they are all there too, but they are rather unobtrusive.  They did a great job.  If you already subscribe the app is free.


title: Best cooking magazine available

text: I subscribe to Bon Appetite and Food Network magazines, and Food Network is the best one by far. Better recipes, better articles, and better food.


title: GREAT MAGAZINE

text: very informative articles & beautiful pictures. worth a look !


title: LOVE THIS MAGAZINE !

text: GREAT RECIPES & PICTURES !  I LOVE ALL THE RECIPES, HAVE TRIED 5 ALREADY JUST FROM ONE ISSUE.


title: One of my favourite magazines

text: "Moment" is an excellent magazine.  It discusses many various issues that concern the modern Jew; politics, culture and -- of course -- religion.  Often the magazine will discuss controversial issues (with reader imput) so you can get the "scoop" on the latest debates.<br />I especially appreciate that fact that "Moment" does not take a specific position on issues; the magazine is very good at providing the viewpoint from the perspectives of all types of Jews.

title: No nonsense magazine

Five Stars


title: GoodHouse Keeping for the new century

text: One of the better magazine on housing design. More finish and furnishings, and the reviews could use more floor plans, but a DESIGN magazine base in reality and not theory.


title: Four Stars

text: As advertised


title: I like this magazine a lot

text: I always look forward to the arrival of this magazine. It helps keep me up to date on technology and I find its approach to subject matter varied, interesting and understandable. The new products section almost always has something I didn't know existed and usually wish I had. If anyone reading this has anything as good or better to offer, I'd like to hear about it. That is, unless it is Popular Science which I also subscribe to and think is great.


title: I lke Car and Driver

text: I ordered the magazine because I'm thinking about buying a new car. Mostly I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing pics of latest model cars. It definitely fills the bill.


title: Nice Magazine

text: The first issue had information that held my interest from cover to cover. As the title says it's popular science which means it contains brief overviews rather than in depth coverage of scientific developments. Perfect for those who want to keep up with what is happening in the world of science but do not need all the specifics.


title: Always interesting

text: Love the pictures and they make everything  LOOK so good!

text: I will not renew....quality has been in decline over the past 1-1/2 years.  I prefer cooking light for recipes, more feasible recipes.


title: just ok

text: This magazine is just ok. I ended up subscribing to pc world instead. They are more for the technician and not just the cusumer.


title: pretty good firearms magazine

text: This magazine is pretty decent. They cover all of the new stuff and perform side by side reviews/testing. Worth getting.


title: Informed Consumer

text: This is the place to find our about any thing you want to buy and make an informed decision. Also they are now added it all kinds of little ideas to save you time, money, and stress.  I just wish you could write them and e-mail or call if you have a question. Thank you.


title: get back in the game

text: As I expected inspired me to grab my camera and get better at my favorite hobby


title: No help for and old guy.

text: This era of Guideposts falls well short of the issues before Edward Grinnan took over in the early 90s. I recently subscribed and so far it seems to be a magazine for middle aged women. I'm 74 and depressed about life and society in general with it's dependence on personal electronics carted around and abused not unlike alcohol and/or drugs, street variety or prescription. Norman Peale did a good job of it. Grinnan turned it into just another magazine, but with poorly written, soppy stories and advertising aimed at old people.<br />He may have hit the target, but he's way out on the edge, no where near the bull's eye. Don Schade

title: I like magazine but they are getting too political.

text: I want to escape & enjoy this magazine but lately it seems like they let politics influence & infiltrated a lot of articles. Too bad.


title: Good Luck

text:
Never got the item (over 6 weeks waiting!). In the end I had to cancel the order.

Nunca me enviaron el magazín. Al fin tuve que cancelar la orden.


title: Lacks Daytime Schedule

title: Kids magazine

text: Great magazine for kid


title: Rip off

text: Great magazine, but they started soaking me 20 dollars a month for this subscription.  Watch what they're doing. Buyer beware


title: awful shipping

text:
we got notice that the item will arrive well after the absolute maximum shipping
period of ten weeks will have expired.  you people have a lot of nerve.  my
daughter loves her soaps and dotes on any information she can obtain. i
personally think you overcharge for this subscription substantially.


title: Great down-home cooking mag

text: Any magazine that doesn't except advertisements seems to be a step ahead of those that do. This is the case for Cooks Illustrated. Some of the recipes this family loves are: Best Beef Chili, Ground Beef Tacos, Glazed Carrots (although I prefer the recipe in the Northern Exposure cookbook), Maple-Glazed Pork Roast, and many of the pastas. The drawbacks I've found for this magazine are that sometimes the spices are a bit powerful. This is usually true for the chicken sauces. They have one in which they recommend 40 garlic cloves to be cooked with the chicken breasts. This is just too many cloves and leaves one feeling like they just bit into a head of garlic. I suppose that being these people work in a test kitchen all day it takes a lot of spice to activate their taste buds. Being one has to alter some of the ingredients for any recipe this is not a huge burden, it just takes awhile to get used to. I also don't like the fact that they always use no-boil noodles for their lasagna. I hate these noodles. They never turn out as good as boil noodles and it only takes 10 minutes to boil them. When you're taking two hours out of your day to make Lasagna Bolognese an extra 10 minutes for good noodles shouldn't be too much extra work. I've also found that the baking recipes aren't the greatest. I've tried the chocolate chip cookies and they are too thick. My three year old didn't even like them. The New York cheesecake was ok, but that's it...just ok. However, aside from these minor quibbles a lot of the recipes are fantastic for making dinner. It's one of the few mags where you can grab a recipe out of it and know it's going to be edible... and possibly exceptionally good. The quick tips section is also a joy to read. I also enjoy their equipment reviews (although The Cooks Catalogue is a must have for this). They used to have cookbook reviews where they tested recipes in different cookbooks and printed the results. They seem to have withdrawn this section, which is too bad because I really enjoyed it. It gave one an idea of what cookbooks to stay away from and which ones were really good. I especially liked how they would mention if it was for an average cook or an advanced cook based on whether or not the cook listed exact recipes or just gave a general idea of what to use and let the reader come up with their own measurements. Overall, if I could have only one cooking magazine this would be it. It has many great things going for it. I also subscribe to Intermezzo for the "fancier" recipes.

title: Renew here!

text: Great way to renew a favorite!


title: Additional reviews

text: I disliked is that I would liked more information regarding channels I have that were not listed.


title: Excellent magazine

text: Although I might be prejudiced as in being from the state, I have not read a better magazine dedicated to its history and cultural event's.  With most magazines of this day and age, it has become apparent that the commercialization of the publication has led to more and more ads in which are related to sometimes what has been written about them.  It's thought provoking articles and excellent photography, are why more and more people are subscribing to this fine magazine.


title: my 9 year old loves this magazine

text: OK, the advertisements are a bit much, but the magazine is great. My son has subscriptions to Cricket and Kids Discover, too. He has had many other magazine subscriptions over the years, and this one stands out to me because, unprompted, he has always found fun information that he felt was worth sharing. This magazine was also a favorite with my niece who does not like to read at all. The magazine format is easy to read, yet rich in content.


title: Great Magazine for Everyone

text:
Its a really good magazine and everyone can benefit by reading it. The overall content, layout and presentation is very good. The content does show that some research has gone into the article which is very good .

I would love it if they could include some Yoga exercises for different conditions like High Blood pressure, diabetes etc.


The subscription service is great.  On time every month.  But, like most magazines, the content seems geared toward selling the ads.

title: Consistently good magazine.

text: I have been a female reader of Men's Journal for 10 years. The articles are always very good, open and fair, and of excellent journalistic quality. They have product reviews, health questions, sports information, etc. The magazine is well balanced and only has a few 'men only' related articles. It is also very cheap as far as magazines go and this was a gift subscription for someone. Everyone I have ever gifted it to has liked it.


title: Elle Decor - just a little over the top

A little over the top, but that is what I expected.  I want ideas that haven't been published before.

No, I don't like all of it.  But I like most of it and love some of it.

If you are involved in staging or just into decorating, this glossy little magazine is a must have and I keep a file for future reference also!


title: Teen Vogue is a class act

text: My daughter gets 17, and she enjoys its, but I like the Teen Vogue because it is a little less casual and a little classier.  With both publications, she is well balanced.


title: Great gift

text: I purchased this for my daughter who is living in the "big apple."  It is a great gift that continues for a year.  She loves it!


title: Five Stars

text: Great variety of topics, always something new to learn.


title: Perfect for us Southern ladies

text: Beautiful magazine.  Very stylishly written articles that are perfect for us Southern women. Very impressive decorating as well as recipes


title: Five Stars

text: Just what I expected


title: Not as good as the 80's

text: Use to get this magazine in the 80's, with a novel and two short stories plus several info articles. A lot of good<br />ideas, arts and crafts and decorating ideas.  Todays magazine does not even come close.  I am very disappointed.


This item was a gift to someone else. They really liked it and will order it again.


title: I am loving this magazine. If you need inspiration ...

text: I am loving this magazine. If you need inspiration and information on travel destination this magazine will fill that need. It's packed with knowledge and photographs to whet your appetite. It sure does every time I get my copy.


title: QUESTION??

text: DOES THIS MAGAZINE CONTAIN PATTERS LIKE BURDA?? I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO IT BUT IT MUST CONTAIN PATTERNS.


title: Daughter loves it

text: My daughter loves this magazine.  I like it because the articles are age appropriate.  Not trying to promote "adult" behaviors.


title: Love It

text: Packed full of inspiration.


title: Very helpful

text: value for money nothing to say. no fuss with this product it does its job and the quality is good.


title: Five Stars

text: IT'S GREAT


This is a great magazine, but since August, I have gotten 1 issue - which means 5 have been "lost in the mail". Again, I love the magazine, but I would recommend ordering it from another distributor. We've complained and only been offered extra issues in 2018 (which makes little sense when I am currently getting none).


title: Great recipes!

text: Excellent recipes with each new issue.  Forces you to consider, read about and see pictures of healthy eating.  You won't be disappointed.


title: Well worth reading

text: Beautifully presented magazine!!


title: Essential for any New Yorker

text: This magazine does a great job of featuring good articles at the beginning and then breaking down events you might want to do in New York City that week. The magazine is organized into various categories that are color coded so that when you get it, you can just skip to the section you're interested in. There's a whole city out there to discover and TONY can help point you in the right direction.

title: Sigh..........................

text:
This use to be a swell magazine for the amateur digital photographer.  However, for some reason, this year it has gone more "pro"...which means such things as much more talk of Photoshop; more reviews of really expensive cameras and equipment the amateur would never consider buying; and more ads, ads, ads.  Even the price has gone up.  Last year, I paid $11.97 using an enclosed subscription card in a magazine.  This year the cards show $14.97 for a year's subscription.  And I received a renewal letter today from the publisher saying I could have a year for $16.97!  Gee, thanks. But no thanks.  I'm not interested in a "pro" type of photo magazine.  There's already enough of them anyway.

Sigh...............


title: Three Stars

text: Like the magazine, just wish they would have more objective reviews instead of just reiterating what the manufacturer publishes.


title: I hate Auto-renewals. Let me know before your charge my card!

text:
I hate auto-renewals...
Let me know before you charge me!
Magazine if great for photographers... I just would like to have more control of the billing.... so no more auto-renewal for me


title: loves it

text: Christmas gift for my son last year.  He loved it so I have renewed it.


title: Five Stars

text: My granddaughter loves this...


title: Five Stars

text: Such a neat and useful book.


title: Still Going Strong

text: I have been reading Analog and its precursors avidly for the last sixty years of so, and it never palls.  IMO it remains the best SciFi mag out there  and will do more to expand the reader's imagination and breadth of vision than just about anything else they could as easily expose themselves to.


title: art magazines

text: This is an excellent publication for all artists at all stages of their artistic development, from beginners to those who have painted forever!


title: Great publication

text: Excellent printing quality with exciting images and stories.  Product reviews and buying guide are useful and insightful.  If you enjoy the sport will make a good reading room addition.


title: Fun Decorating Ideas for your Romantic Side.

text: Great Magazine but a little pricey for the amount of issues you receive.  It's a cool magazine none the less. It's a good magazine to get decorating ideas for your home.


title: A Magazine Worth Buying Somewhere Else

text: 4 months, no magazine


title: A monthly treat

text:
I'm always excited around the end of the month because that's when the mailman delivers my Popular Science magazine. Whether it's the latest in space technology, human science, or cool things that we won't have for another 10 years, PS has got it covered. The pictures are great and the stories are always easy to read.

The one thing I wish that PS would do is bundle the subscription with free mobile application access, but hey, you can't have everything.
The magazine's also gotten a little fluffy with the ads, I would love to see more content delivered monthly, but I understand they're really web-based now.

Regardless, it's always a pleasure to read and for as long as I can I'll have them saved so possibly one day my kids can see that no, not everyone always had flying cars.


title: Should be named White Trash Cooking

text: I received this magazine as a gift unfortunately. It is more for the cool whip and gravy packet crowd I guess. If that's your thing then go for it. I will have to pass on this one though.


title: Great magazine and service

text: Fantastic.  So glad to have this come directly to my home.


title: Nothing but Fluff and Guff

text: Southern living use to be a great magazine - back when the magazine was stapled (remember when?)  Now it's full of fluff and guff.  Makeup and fashion?  Leave all that to Glamor Magazine and bring back the classy magazine Southern Living once was.  After 40 years of subscribing, that's it for me.


title: Great Magazine

text: Excellent! Owning a log cabin, it provides lots of information on how to maintain, how to build,  and numerous other helpful tips.


title: Four Stars

text: My kids love the activities.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the magazine


title: Very interesting and timely magazine

text: Enjoy the magazine very much.  Great content.  Share the magazine with my 98-year old father, who reads it also, then donates it to the local library.  Our daughter and son-in-law also expressed an interest in the magazine, so we ordered a subscription for them also.  Also have given it as a gift in the past.


title: Only get it for the magazine!

text: Seriously small Don't bother if that is all they can send!


title: Five Stars

text: Satisfied


title: Loving it!

text: Wife and her girlfriends love it!!!!


title: Great content both pages

text: Well I have been getting this publication  for years now and I am to the point that I cut out all the ads, in it . I was left with  80 % ads and 20% content. I understand  they make money from the ads but really to charge me for it when it is mainly ads is not cool.<br /> Marketing people take note there was some empty space on page 47 in the margins.


title: Love This Magazine!

text: I LOVE THIS MAG!  Okay, I'll admit I'm an Anglophile.  But even so, this magazine exceeds my expectations.  It has the most beautiful photos.  And the articles are so well written.  And they all have that distinctive British flavor to them, so they're just a delight to read.  I look so forward to every issue.  And by the way, they have wonderful articles about traveling in the U.K. so I'm saving each issue in hopes of someday seeing all these lovely places.  (Besides, I can't bring myself to throw away all those gorgeous photographs!)  I highly recommend this magazine!


title: Only 4 issues

text: I use to get this at the news stand and it would come out ever other months 6 issues a year, so thought it was a deal til i saw it was only quarterly now


title: Archaeology

text: Great magazine


title: Five Stars

text: This magazine provides good reading and interesting perspective.


title: Great price for great magazine and speedy delivery

text: I looked at multiple sites for pricing and found best price on Amazon.  It said 4-6 week delivery, but I had the magazine in about 3 weeks.  This magazine is full of great recipes by all the chefs from Food Network.  I really like the pullout booklets...so far I have 50 popcorn recipes and bacon recipes.


title: entertainment weekly quite entertaineing

text: I have been following the entertainment business since I was ten years old and nobody does it better than Entertainment Weekly!


title: Awesome deal

text: A gift that is loved


title: Great magazine!

text: Keeps me up to date on everyday events with more details, even though biased at times.


title: TV Guide

text: I prefer the old smaller version of several years ago but, this is helpful and has good articles about present and upcoming shows.


title: 25% received

text: I only received one magazine all year... don’t buy through Amazon.


title: Full of errors and misinformation

text: I recycle this magazine every month when it arrives.  Every issue I've picked up is full of errors and biased opinions which are not good to have in this area, especially when they are harmful to those looking to get well.  This is not a PROFESSIONAL publication, but instead it is like the Fox News of psychology magazines.  Please save your money and don't purchase this subscription.


title: Utter trash

text: Made from trash you could go fishing in a dumpster that's lit on fire and get better stuff from it


title: Five Stars

text: I find this to an excellent magazine in the same league as National Geographic.


title: save your money

text: Will not renew. Prefer the print edition. Cannot find what I'm looking for. If you don't like ads then this is for you.

text: very informative nagazine


title: Five Stars

text: Great service and value.


title: Caution!

text: Well, as a subscriber to the digital version of the Artist's Magazine...it may seem like a good deal, but this company is totally unreliable and do not respond to your email inquiries if you have a problem. I purchased the download version in September...and have YET to receive notice of when it will start...and no one will reply to my emails. How is that for customer service!<br />Just buy it on the magazine shelf...when you feel inspired...the download version is a total unreliable rip off. Too bad..good magazine, but customer service is non existent.

text: For 3 months, I only received 1 issue.


title: Very imformative

text: Always enjoyable to read this magazine


title: Ranger Rick

text: It is an overall pretty cool magazine. It was exactly what I needed and it arrived on time. I would purchase a similar magazine again.


title: tv guide still growing strong after 60 years

text: The tv guide is a wonderful value at 5.00 for the year since 1 isssue is 3.99 plus tax and other issues may be as high as 4.99 plus tax. 60 years old and still a good magazine


title: New 2017 format is ridiculously out of touch with previous subscriber base

text: I've subscribed to this magazine for over 15 years and always looked forward to it being delivered, as there were pieces of it which were relatable and inspirational to me and my style, as a fashion magazine should be. That being said, the new format under the editor who came in late 2016 is so, so disappointing. Gradual changes have been made over the past 6 months, with the past 3 really kicking into a new format - artsier covers and photo spreads, more celebrity interviews taken from an "insightful" perspective which isn't pulled off, more high fashion and less anything relatable to anyone outside of New York, over 25, or larger than a size 2. Just went through the issue I received yesterday, with Nicole Kidman on the cover, and there was absolutely NOTHING of interest or appealing to me - the clothes were truly universally unflattering and overpriced, and the content out of touch. It's like they are trying to be Vogue...but Vogue has a different purpose. Know your audience. I desperately miss the old format.


title: All good

text: All good


title: The only Cycling magazine you'll ever need.

text: I'm a huge cycling fan and had been looking for a good cycling magazine that focused on Pro-Cycling and chanced upon this mag in an airport in Europe. It was amazing - had all the Pro coverage I had been looking for, as well as coverage of road bike equipment that I might be interested in. As in all printed media, especially monthlies, news often outpaces their printing schedule - but their interviews etc. remain relevant. Great photography, lay-out and historical articles.<br />British publishing house - so a little GB centric.


title: Don't waste your money

text: The biggest waste of money on the planet. Bunch of elitist propaganda. Even makes for poor toilet paper. Stories are about hot air bigots and money corrupt idiots.


title: Horrible Customer Service from Reader's Digest; Great Customer Service from Amazon

text:
When I ordered, I had it shipped under my name and fully intended to change  just the magazine over to my parents.  Amazon lets you change the addressee however many times you want on a magazine subscription.  So, I changed it to my father's name.  No problem. Then I decided to change it to my mother's name...Reader's Digest said that I couldn't change it to her name because she wasn't "my husband" (which meant that they assumed my father was?).

To make matters worse, when the first issue came, Reader's Digest had shorted the subscription from a 12 month to an 8 month without explanation.  I complained to Amazon about this, and they strong armed Reader's Digest back into their original 12 month contract.

However, the new contract was independent of Amazon and Reader's Digest sent five additional issues before not sending anything except multiple renewal notices...addressed to me. Even though the new contract wasn't considered a gift and was solely under my mother's name.

I always read negative reviews and think, "Oh, that won't happen to me," but I was wrong this time.


title: Has Carpe Articulum ceased publication?

text: This lavish literary magazine appears to have gone belly up.  Its ghost lingers on, on the Web, along with opportunities to purchase it from Amazon, but there is no sign of any issues having been published thus far in 2012.  Does anyone know what happened to it?  Could you let the rest of us literary types know?


title: too many ads

text: Got this for my mom.  She likes it but over the past year there has been a large increase in the amount of advertisements and a decrease in the qty and length of actual articles


title: Not for the regular, working class guy

text: The magazine usually has pretty good true adventure stories and such.  Celebrity interviews are okay in that it is hit-or-miss in whether the reader is interested in the person and/or what they're talking about.  However, what led me to discontinue my subscription years ago was that the magazine is pretty much directed not at your averaged working class blue collar guy, but the guys who make 6 figures a year and can afford $5k watches, $7k bicycles, $200 ink pens, bi-annual trips to the tropics, month long vacations to climb a mountain, cross a desert, or explore a rainforest.  While maybe not quite the 1%, the target audience appears to be the upper 20%.  Somebody really should publish a good magazine for the average guy.  There is plenty in this world within his financial capabilities and news/adventure articles he'll read but doesn't need a magazine full of gadgets, clothing, equipment, and vacations he cannot afford.


title: A literary journal?

text: I just cancelled my subscription after a couple years.  I used to like FT a long time ago, saw a good subscription deal, and signed up.  Rather than being a magazine that deals with the issues of Church and State along with perhaps some historical articles about the Church, instead what I've seen is month after month of lengthy articles about literature and poetry.  As someone who doesn't like poetry, I finally ran out of patience with multi-page dissertations on obscure poets, authors, and their works neither of which I care about.  Then there are the frequent articles about economics.  Not what I had hoped for though I will say the articles are obviously well-researched and written, but I just found most of the topic matter uninteresting at least for what I had been expecting.  As a journal of poetry, literature, and economics, FT is great.  If you're looking for a more Religious oriented magazine, I would recommend Touchstone.


title: A good enough Catholic newspaper

text: The only problem I have with NCR is I wish it were more about the Faith and Liturgy and maybe a little less focus on politics and articles that appeal mainly to specific regions.  Their reporting on the sex abuse scandal has been top notch.  I just think more articles about Church teaching and biblical texts would make it a better paper.  Some criticisms of the occasional US "right wing" political bent are justified, but they are no different from those of a "left wing" perspective you can read in other Catholic publications.  Also, "Inside the Vatican" is a great magazine that is well worth the money and time to check out.


title: Something to blow your mind in every issue

text: This is my favorite magazine.  My subscription lapsed so I thought I'd renew via Amazon so I can keep better track of it.


title: Great Magazine for poeple interested in Design, Restoration, Buildings, and more

text:
I'll keep my response short, but overall extremely happy with the magazine. It is affordable, and has a vast selection of interesting articles. I am a Architectural history buff, and my education is in building design and technology. I find this magazine to have alot of interesting parts that relate to many different aspects of buildings and design.

Very Happy with it, If you like restoration, buildings, and a dash of sustainability; I would suggest this magazine to you.


title: Second Best

text: My favorite photo magazine in Popular Photography, this is a very close second.  Buy it if you are into Landscape photography.


title: Great Gaming Mag - Great for Playstation - Not Bad Turnaround Time

text:
I've seen a lot of people comment about this, so I thought I'd weigh in.  I purchased this subscription on Amazon on September 16th.  I got my first issue yesterday, October 25th.  While that isn't a great turn-around, that's about average for most magazines, I think.  I know a lot of people have said it's taken them months and months to get it, but one month, not bad.  I say, for the price, this is worth it.  Especially considering how expensive this is to just pick up off of the rack and a bookstore.

If you're not familiar, this is a great magazine for reviews and previews of new games for any of the Playstation family of gaming systems.  As I subscribe to Game Informer, I'm not sure I need both, but I do wish someone would rate the PS3 vs. Xbox version of games, that'd be nice.  That's what I'm trying to do artificially by subscribing to different magazines.

Anyway, good buy (I got this at 50% off after buying a video game here) - worth the wait for the price!


title: Great Magazine

text: This new magazine is wonderful and chock full of great ideas. Haven't had one issue without finding many terrific ideas.


title: How would I know?

text: How would I know how the magazine is since it has been paid for and I have not received a copy yet?  I think that it is a little presumptious of anyone to ask until the appropriate time!  After I have had the opportunity to read and review the magazine, feel free to ask my opinion at that time.


title: Best magazine ever

text: My children 10 and 12 yrs. love this magazine. It is young enough for the age group, but not too young so they lose interest. The content is very well put. The problem/solutions are true to life. My little girl said "I love Club magazine, it's the best ever. It teaches me about God, and explains problems." That encouraged me to find old issues of the mag. for sale. I have renewed our subscription as well.


title: Excellent Learning Tool !

text: I did not subscribe to this magazine through amazon, instead through the magazine's website.  I highly recommend getting the CD that goes with this--about half of the articles (about an hour's worth of audio) are recorded.  The magazine comes every two months and is full of articles about different regions and cities, history, wine and a lot of other topics.  It is actually very varied in its content.  There is a section about current events, and also articles about how to communicate in certain types of situations.  The articles range from easier to quite advanced, and the advanced articles tend to incorporate a lot of more idiomatic phrases and words.  The website actually has about 10 pages worth of sample from one of the issues, and I would say that it is representative of the product.  This magazine is very interesting and I look forward to every issue I receive.  And with the audio component I really have noticed an improvement to my comprehension, both written and spoken French.


title: No recipe cards in magazine

text: This magazine has changed from the past.  I did not care for it.  Will not renew


title: Country Woman

text: This magazine did not have recipe cards nor ideas as in the past.


title: Reminisining

text: I enjoyed reading and remembering things about the 60s and 70s.


title: Discover Magazine

text: The mix of articles is always balanced.  Some articles are short, others are long. That fits my typical magazine reading - I browse when it first arrives, then take more time for the in-depth articles.  Some articles are easy reading, some are more arcane, I like that mix, as well.  I really appreciate reading about the most recent theories then reading valid criticisms.


title: Getting Lost in New Mexico

text: New Mexico true Adventure Guide provides little, disconnected clips of locations and activities in New Mexico.  I was forced to grab a magnifying glass to read the tiny typeset.  No maps helped to guide me in a direction through the state.  Although I studied page after page of potential places identified in the short paragraphs describing various sites, I did not draw any kind of plan to tour New Mexico in the tour guide.  Random locations threw me into spontaneous confusion.  More useful, produce a guide that goes down a particular pathway through the state; choose a city along that road; isolate the most important sites, restaurants, campgrounds, resorts, artifacts, and cultural or historic or outdoor locations for that particular city.  Take a direction on a map and provide a flow to explore.  The travel sites that I chose for my vacation adventure are marked by a yellow marker on a standard map of the state where significant monuments and parks are printed.  From those locations, I will seek out my own restaurants and shops to explore because New Mexico Magazine’s tourism guide is worthless to me.


title: It is a good thourough magazine on current events, politics and no fake news

text: Great writing and accurate and factual info


title: A must to read if you are interested in your health

text: Have read this publication for years.  Accurate information that is appropriate for anyone who wants to be healthy.  Sources are professional...not hearsay.


title: Great gift for the avid bee lover

text: This is just perfect for anyone who is a bee hobbyist! I used it as the best Mother's Day gift.  Dad enjoyed it, too!


title: Best Christmas Gift Ever!!

text: Very educational and informative for young girls. Excellent gift for all year round and she loves coming home from school to find she has mail!


title: Five Stars

text: The best business magazine


title: Five Stars

text: Husband loves his subscription !!


title: Every recipe has been wonderful!

text: We got this magazine instead of the Everyday with Rachel Ray magazine. Every recipe we have tried out of it so far (after only 3 issues) has been excellent. And the little booklet insert that is included with every magazine, such as 50 holiday cookies, 50 soups, and 50 mashed potato recipes, are great. It's jam-packed with recipes and worth the subscription. Star-ogling included.


title: Great Mag

text: What can I say, it's Net Geo!!


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine for small children to learn by


title: Horse Illustrated

text: I chose this for my 10 year old granddaughter.  She, like many girls her age, is horse-crazy.  She enjoys receiving this each month and I have been pleased with the quality of the magazine and its prompt arrival.


title: magazine

text: Ive had a subscription to this magazine in the past and I liked it. So I subscribed again. But its taken about 3 months and I still have not had a magazine delivered. Im rather disappointed that it would take so long for them to deliver to an address they have delivered to in the past, and no word as to why. I dont know if I will renew again at this rate.


title: I love this magazine

text: I've gotten this magazine for a couple years now and I love it. I've saved every copy and refer back to the crafts and interesting articles all the time. It's certainly not Better Homes and Gardens! Yet it has crafts, fashions and interviews with famous people but with a twist. It's not just a women's magazine, it's more of a magazine for an open minded person.


title: Ads ads ads

text: More ads than magazine.


title: inexpensive & entertaining

text: I do wish magazine orders were processed faster, but I did get three issues at once to get me caught up from when I placed my order.


title: Shape - now with 50% more ads and fluff.

text:
I used to read Shape regularly years ago. I decided to get a subscription again recently, and I can't believe the changes. Every other page at least is an ad. "Articles" featured on the front page, in nearly every case but perhaps one, consists of a 200 word blurb, a giant photo and a couple fluff facts to go with it, all on less than one page (sometimes half!).

The actual exercise articles and tips are few and far between. There is a lack of any health news, no breakthroughs, no  Q&A,  nothing really but "fun" layouts in place of actual text, and fluff. Lots of fluff. You could combine all the actual content in this 162 page magazine down to 15 pages.

The Editor's page alone should tell you that you are going to be in trouble. On her note from the Editor's page she always puts photos and info on what she finds "necessary" that month. it's usually a lavish vacation, some expensive spa, some $400 dollar dress that she proclaims is a "bargain". It's like she is writing the page to all those high school friends that she hated and wants to know she's doing well, not to her actual readers. Sounds catty, but I can't think of why else she would put such irrelevant information as where she took her last expensive vacation. It's not relevant to nearly anyone reading it. I got the magazine for health and workout info, not overpriced clothing info. I get Vogue for that. The biggest problem is overall content however. It's a terrible excuse for a magazine and not worth the paper it is printed on. Poor trees.
