title: Scam!

text: The magazine is fine, but don’t send away for any of their “free” items. They aren’t free and it will sign you up for a subscription to additional magazines that are very expensive. Despite calling twice to cancel, I’m still getting additional magazines and being charged for items I never wanted.


title: Great Info.

text: Great Info.


title: Rolling Stone Magazine subscription

text: Christmas gift for a family member.  This magazine is always a hit no matter when you buy it.  He was very happy to get it.


title: Inconsistent Service

text: Ordered this as a gift.  Sent an inquiry as to why the magazine had not been delivered for a few weeks despite it being a year long (52 weeks) subscription.  I haven't heard anything regarding the subscription.  Ordered in April...started delivering in May and stopped in September.  Given the cost, very disappointed.  Edited to update...the recipient received 3 magazines at one time.  Not sure where the delay was but the service has resumed.  Will update again if there are any additional issues.  Did not give a 5 star because it is very difficult to find out what the status is.  I did not receive any info despite two attempts at contact.


title: Bravo!

text: I ordered this as a Christmas gift  for my husband. He can't wait for each issue to arrive; and, reads it from cover to cover.  The articles, photos and illustrations are superb.  Bravo!


title: Knitters

text: I haven't got my magazine yet, but have gotten it in the past, have always enjoyed it, will be so glad to get it, why does it take so long?


title: Great nature magazine for kids - No ads - Kids love getting mail

text: I grew up reading Ranger Rick, and now get subscriptions for it and the other two kids magazines published by the National Wildlife Federation (Big Backyard and Wild Animal Baby) for all of my nieces and nephews. They love the big pictures of animals, the goofy jokes, games, cartoons and activities. Just like I did, once they've read the magazine four times through, they love cutting up the photos for art projects, or trying to draw the animals in each issue. Ranger Rick is also a great gift!


title: Five Stars

text: Love the articles and builds they give patterns for.


title: The Lateness

text: I do like the magazine, it was just my order was supper late


title: Nothing but ads

text: Even the articles are focused on telling you what to buy. Not interesting.


title: IN DEPTH REVIEWS + LETTERS TO THE EDITOR AAA

text: ONLY QUALITY MAG FOR THE RELOADER OUT THERE


title: Good Magazine

text: I always enjoy reading this magazine. There are always cool and interesting things to learn about.


title: Great magazine

text: I’ve always love the Readers Digest and I’m very happy to have a come to my house.


title: Not worth the ink

text: It's a home decorating magazine, staged pictures of closet, bedrooms, etc.. Only interesting topic is the occasional review of a tool.


title: Love, love Cook's Country magazine'

text: I love Cook's Country.  The recipes are always great and fairly easy!  I think this is the best magazine on the market!  No ads either.  I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to cook.


title: My Favorite Magazine of All Time Ever!

text: I have been receiving this magazine for a few years since I moved out of the south.  I read every page of it and the only problem that I have is trying to get the ingredients for the recipies up here in the frosty north.


title: Three Stars

text: I have only received 2 issues since subscrition started


title: and i love HGTV!

text: not my thing, and i love HGTV!!!!!!!!


title: One Star

text: My BIL hates this, I tried to unscribe but here it is again. grrrrr.


title: waste of money

text: 36 page pamphlet with LB patterns that are free on their website!


title: No service

text: I love these magazines but I'm starting to get the impression I've been scammed, I ordered all the way back in March and almost 5 months later not a single magazine. The expected arrival date just keeps rolling month to month


title: One of the best for kids -- a real classic!

text: This is a wonderful magazine for children, filled with puzzles, quizzes, great illustrations, and articles aimed at 9 - 13 year olds, plus science that's fun to learn. It's been around for over 30 years, so you know that means it truly is exceptional in the publishing world. The other reviewer shouldn't fault the magazine and not update the "review" based on delivery problems, since her complaint came only 6 weeks after the order. It clearly states above that delivery might take 6-10 weeks, and I've learned to be very patient with subscriptions ordered through Amazon. (But they always showed up!) So don't blame the publisher -- it's still a terrific magazine!


title: A great quilting magazine

text: Bought for my daughter but I love to read it too. It's the gift that keeps on giving all year long. She loves to get it every so often.


title: like it

text: We like this magazine, but the cover art is really cluttery, so they all look the same & we have a hard time going back to find articles we like. It covers a lot of basic info about natural living, gardening, farming, cooking, building, etc. A good resource, although some of the topics are covered more superficially than I would prefer, and some of it seems to be wishful thinking (like an article on how to build a home for $10,000, but that requires your whole family participate & that you have engineering expertise, not to mention owning equipment that must cost a lot more than the materials). But still a good magazine.


title: Deal! Deal! Deal!

text: Great gift ideal!


title: The Smithsonian Magazine is a treasure.

text: These are magazines you do not throw away after reading, because they are a treasure. There are too many interesting things to re-visit again and again. I'm so glad that I subscribed to The Smithsonian, because it helps me stay in touch with the world and its history. Excellent reading.


title: Five Stars

text: Fun to read.  I plan to pass it on to my mom and sister when I'm done reading it.


title: Love the content inside the magazine

text: Love it. The ideas and suggestions of the magazine is so great. Give me so much information to decorate my house. Worth it


title: So good I renewed another year

text: Really enjoy this magazine. Great articles, reviews, tips. It is an entertaining and helpful resource.


title: Great deal!

text: For 5 bucks you get a hat and 5 months worth of WIRED. There's some great articles but definitely a lot of filler crap articles.


title: Awesome

text: Bought for a gift two years ago and have kept the subscription going. She enjoys the magazine.


title: Amazon did great, but the magazine isn't what it used to be.

text: i originally bought this for the coupons, so i wouldn't have to go out and buy the magazine each month.  to no fault of amazon, all you just stop putting so many good coupons in their issues, so there was no reason for me to renew my membership.  i bought a yrs subscription and it was delivered each month and on time!!  if the coupons were better i would have renewed my subscription.


title: National Geographic

text: National Geo. was a family favorite growing up. My parents got us the subscription so we could have great references for projects with great pictures. Now, all grown up I purchased this for my brother for his birthday as a staple magazine for his new family.


title: Lots of recipes

text: Like this magazine for the home cooked recipes


title: Multiple stories

text: Like all of the different stories in one magazine. Funnies are great. Great thing about this magazine is that it can fit in your purse too


title: old fashioned

text: Try a subscription to this magazine, it will take you back to your childhood.  The articles are great, and I hope they continue with this publication.  I have passed previous copies on to my sister, but I think I will keep them as I like to read them again.  So if you have a grandmother or mom please order this for them.


title: Cricket offers young writers a chance to publish

text: My subscription for Cricket was for my granddaughter whom has had two of her poems published in the February and the October issues.  It also provides good-time reading for young people.


title: Disappointing..

text: To much Do-It-Yourself things that i dont have any interest in..alot of things for backyard patio which i dont have and around the pool..which i also dont have..disappointing..

text: Very nice


title: The only Food mag youll need

text: So much better than "Taste of Home". Practical tips. They teach you how to do everything, what kind of food to buy, how to cook it, so much more info than what you see on tv.


title: Packed with fun articles, ads and identifications

text: This is my favorite antiques magazine because it's different than any other - tons of research, news and smart, funny columns. It has cool features on really unusual antiques like glasshouse whimsies, Scalp Level School art and industrial antiques. This is for people who are interested in collecting, selling and decorating with antiques. It is much different now than it was in 2005 and is a really fun read!

title: Dissapointed

text: I thought I was going to get a more inspiring magazine, different from the usual, as Oprah is such an icon. But I was not pleased with the content. Same usual stuff that you find in any magazine with a bombardment of advertising pages. To me its just a waste of paper.


title: Same price

text: It’s the same price for one year if you get a subscription from the magazine $30. Amazon doesn’t give you any deals.


title: Five Stars

text: So nice to be able to see the print again!!


title: A magazine to savor

text: I've subscribed to Real Simple since its first issue, and even now I look forward to getting it in the mail each month.  I find that each issue has a wonderful combination of pertinent information and mouth-watering photography and design.  In a world where a lot of magazines targeted towards me (independant working woman) are filled with hot pink headlines and sex advice, Real Simple offers the serene, practical, and understated.  They don't pad the copy to make it fit on the page, and most articles are short and to the point.  The women they feature are diverse, intelligent, and (finally!) have real bodies.  And the longer feature pieces are inspiring without overdoing it.<br />I recommend this magazine to anyone who strives for simplicity in their lives without sacrificing the aesthetics.


title: Guns and Ammo Magazine

text: Enjoy reading this magazine as it provides interesting information.  Again, the magazine is read then shared with others to learn what is new on the market.  Also, started receiving the subscription in a timely manner.


title: Outdoor Life Magazine

text: Subscribed to this magazine for my son and family.  After reading they are to give them to others and share the information.


title: Super short books

text: These have gotten a lot shorter since I got them as a kid myself. The seabirds one we've gotten so far was about 8 or so pages. The toddler still liked it though and was enthused but I imagine an older kid would be disappointed by the length.


title: Great magazine for a great price.

text: Great magazine for a great price. I read them cover to cover when they come in. So much better then just getting bills and junk mail. It gives me something to look forward too.


title: LOVE this magazine!

text: Due to finances I had to cancel magazine subscriptions.  This was one I kept!


title: Five Stars

text: i do enjoy this magazine a lot, seems I learn several helpful tips with each issue.


title: Pleased.

text: I purchased the Muscle Car Review as a gift for my son. He is pleased with all the information in it.


title: Great price All You on Amazon

text: I love this magazine. It is full of GREAT coupons, and practical ideas for saving money in multiple areas in your everyday life.


title: Stretch your brain!

text: I read this cover to cover whether I’m interested in the subject or not. I’ve learned so much. It’s good to stretch! My one gripe - the advertisements are repetitive and annoying.


title: Nice to read; laugh at the prices of things; and recycle

text: It's a lot of very expensive stuff. I live near the beach but I can't afford a $500 umbrella stand.


title: Not for me.

text: I'm not sure what I was expecting but I'm glad I got it at the bargain price.  I'm sure many are very pleased with it but all in all it's not very relevant to our lifestyle.  I love watching HGTV , however.


title: I was amazed of the price

text: I like the magazine


title: I love this magazine!

text: I have subscribed for years. Always something new to try or a change up of old favorites.


title: Love this Magazine

title: dinner!

text: This is a wonderful magazine. It covers sweet to savory, has wonderful tips and equipment reviews, and each recipe is well explained and easy to follow. Probably more importantly, I’ve never had a cooks illustrated recipe fail.


title: Five Stars

text: Great family recipes


title: Three Stars

The magazine is pretty good for anyone interested in poetry or freelance writing. For ordering a magazine subscription on Amazon, I received this very promptly. Tres bien!


title: Fun but....

text: GQ magazine is somewhat fun but is lacking the expected amount of information. After going through the pages there is a feeling of lots of empty information, tons of advertisement and not enough practicality.

title: Not as good as once was

text: Have been gettng the journal for 20 years and they are starting to really go down hill.  It is not much thicker than a magazine now.  Use to see so much good horses in there and seems to be coming to end.


title: Scam, Scam, Scam

text: The product never arrived. This is a scam!

text: Excellent source for people interested in the shooting sports and handguns.  You can never have too much information when trying to select or recommend a handgun.


As a firearms instructor, I enjoy being able to discuss possible trips, equipment, and other interesting facts with my students.  This magazine helps with those conversations.


title: One of the better bridal magazines

text: I got married a few months ago, and I did most of the planning by myself.  For about a year prior to my wedding, I read a lot of bridal magazines to get ideas and inspiration.  Most frequently, it was Brides, Modern Bride, Elegant Bride, and Martha Stewart Weddings.  Elegant Bride and Martha Stewart Weddings were by far the best of that bunch.  (Brides & Modern Bride are practically the same magazine, 75% advertisements, and very little substantive content.)  I know its not as well known, but I think this really is one of the better wedding magazines out there.  Martha Stewart Weddings is great from a planning perspective; I liked Elegant Bride for design ideas.  Elegant Bride has style, fashion and decor ideas that you won't find in other magazines.  They do great multi-page photo spreads on all kinds of things, so if you're a visual person, you can (literally) take pages out of this publication for designing your wedding.  It's also a magazine that pays a lot of attention to the details, and you will get different content issue-to-issue (not true of Brides/Modern Bride).  It tends to be more upscale and appeal to a higher taste level.  This doesn't mean you have to be planning an "expensive" wedding to like this magazine -- but if you are going for a more sophisticated tone, then this magazine will be a good fit.  In the same vein, I also recommend In Style Weddings (although I believe that's a quarterly publication only available on news stands, not by subscription).


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine for the homeowner, experienced or novice, lots of good tips !


title: Good for you

text: My wife likes this magazine.


title: Great for a salon or spa.

text: My salon customers love to get the latest gossip!


title: A must for currency collectors.

text: Great articles that help you keep updated on current currency news. Price guide to help price your collection. Also if you are a member of PCGS a sneak peak at what the next monthly special is. I recommend this newsletter 100% to any collector either beginner or advanced.


title: Can't stop getting it.

text: I love Jazz. And I am overwhelmed with paper and magazines in the house. So I have attempted on multiple occasions to let my subscription run out.  It never works.  I always end up renewing.  I just love the music reviews and the occasional articles about an artist.


title: My subscription started with two back issues

text:
I'm "[l]iterary, brainy, and left-leaning," and I'm sure I'll really enjoy my issues once _Harper's_ stops sending me the old issues from its warehouse. But it frustrates me no end to find yet another outdated issue in my mailbox and to have Harper's ignore my requests to update my subscription.

I subscribed on November 22. My first issue arrived, as Amazon told me it would, a few weeks later. That first issue was the November 2005 issue--the one I'd bought at my local bookstore when it came out two months earlier. There were advertisements in that issue for Christmas television programs, and the deadline for submitting the puzzle was early December. So it was clearly an outdated issue. And I went to the subscriber services page on the magazine's website to get the dates of my subscription updated to reflect my unwillingness to accept old issues as part of my subscription. (The date of expiration on my mailing label, by the way, is November 2006--so this is no simple mail room error.)

No response from _Harper's_.

Three days ago, I found the February 2006 issue waiting for me. Great. The day after that, the January 2006 issue arrived.

Look, I like _Harper's_. I really do. But I don't like receiving leftovers, and I don't like being ignored when I try to get treated like I have half a brain.


title: Magazine subscription

text: Incredible price for one year subscription! I even bought an additional one for my son as a birthday gift. This is the third year in a row I've purchased EW and will continue to do so for as long as they maintain the same price.

title: magazine

text: I got a real deal on this magazine and it is one of my favorites to boot!!!!


title: Subscription games

text:
I've been a subscriber to the New Yorker for many years. I love the magazine, but it has some of the WORST subscription practices in the industry. It's not just the Amazon (or other on-line) "deals." It's in every aspect of the subscription process. First thing to note is that the Amazon deal is basically a come-on. Their purpose is to get you to subscribe at the going rate by automatically renewing your subscription when the deal runs out. That's fine. They do disclose that, if you bother to read the fine print.

But the "going rate" is always the highest rate. You can usually get a better price by calling the New Yorker number. When renewing 2 years  ago, I called their number and was quoted a price of $199 for a 2 year subscription. A little negotiation and I got the price down to $179. Then I said, "Two years ago I paid $99 for a 2-year subscription." She played with her computer a bit, then said, "I can give it to you for that price." Somehow, I'd just got it for half of the first quoted price. Almost like buying a used car.

This year, when I called to attempt to get a similar deal, the best the agent would give me was $179 for 2 years, though that was a little unclear because she kept reverting to the "price per issue," which just introduces a useless set of numbers. (I don't care what the price per issue is; I just want to know what I have to pay for a 2-year subscription. Should be simple.)

I told her no thanks, figuring I'd call back later and perhaps get a better deal with a different agent. But I did a little digging online, and finally came up with a price of  $136 for 2 years at a site called DiscountMags. Even there. though, I had to be careful to uncheck the automatic renewal box.

The lessons to take way from all this (assuming you want to get the best price you can) :

1) Whatever deal you get for your initial subscription, do not opt for automatic renewal and do not renew using one of the renewal notices they send you in the mail. Those are always overpriced, whatever they say. And incidentally, the "final notice" is never the final notice—they'll keep trying.

2) You can usually get a better price by calling the New Yorker direct (800-825-2510), but that still may not be the best price…though you never know.

3) As a last resort, or as an alternative, try a site like DiscountMags  (I'm sure there are others). But be very careful to opt out of automatic renewal and to uncheck any boxes offering other stuff you don't want.

4) Or, if you're more concerned with simplifying your life than with saving money, just go with the automatic renewal. That's what they're hoping. I just hate to see them playing games like this with the pricing. I always go with a 2-year subscription so I don't have to go through this every year.


title: Great for the money

text: Magazine is very good, Oprah is amazing


title: One Star

text: Worst magazine!


title: More Ads Than Articles

text: Tried it out, Didn't find too many helpful tips, had more ads than articles.  And then auto renewed.  Tried to cancel, but was told that it was too late. Save your time and money and don't try it.


title: Scientific American: A Lifelong Habit

text: I've been reading Scientific American since I was 8, Scientific American can do no wrong. TRy it read it, When you encounter an article that is way beyond your learning, read it as best you  can, then read similar articles in future additions, you will come to having an understanding of articles on obtuse, highly specialized topics. SA is a marvelous learning tool for children, pictures with words improve reading skills, and soon the cosmologist quantum theorist who is you 9 year old daughter today will be born


title: Five Stars

text: Very good publication !  More then I expected !


title: Buy it you'll love it!

text: My favorite magazine.  It has so many decorating ideas and how to transform old furniture. Even if I don't make anything, it is a beautiful magazine just to look at.


title: Fun

text: Great wish it didn’t auto renew


title: better than a comic book, I guess

text: When I was a teenager <cough>, I liked this magazine.  But over the years I've become really disappointed in the thin gimicky style.  Lots of hype and filler, and not much meat.  These types of magazines tend to carry numb-brained scare-and-fantasy oriented titles like "Will Einstein's theories cause lethal tidal waves?!?" and "Nanotechnology's promise of immortality".  <sigh>.  Discover magazine and Scientific American are better, but only slightly.  I'm much more impressed with Science magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: I guess she loved it.


title: good price.

text: very informative...good price....


title: Where Did It Come From?

text: I didn't order this; it just started coming to my house. Most of the recipes call for many, sometimes esoteric ingredients, and I have cooked very little from this magazine.


title: Reader's digest for magazines

text: With copious magazine selections out there, this one lets you have access to news, finance, health, science, art, music, you name it. It's great especially for me since I'm a SAHM and with little time investment, I can still be informed on various subjects going on in the world.


title: Five Stars

text: Thorough research, logical analysis and a stellar  of scientific writing.  Humorous, sharp and informative. I am totally addicted.<br />Contrary to the other readers' comment about the design, I love the appealing and creative design. It makes the reading experience  entertaining. Would renew again.


title: You must like boats

text: It’s a good magazine if you’re not a boater then don’t get it


title: Great work for jewelers

text: An amazing publication for the trade


title: It never came.

text: That's pretty much all. It was supposedly coming on April 26, but it's been ~10 days. Kind of starting to doubt it will arrive.


title: Great Magazine

text: Gots subscription around beginning of Covid unfortunately only received 3 issues


title: If you love mysteries, you need this magazine

text: I have been a subscriber for several years and find the content continues to give me exactly what I'm looking for; great articles, info about mystery authors, and reviews of books I might not have otherwise known about. If you love mysteries (no matter which sub-genre), you need this magazine!


title: This magazine is awesome

text: This magazine is so informative about all of the things I love:  movies, tv, books, etc.  I read it religiously every week.


title: Educational and most enjoyable!

text: Great magazine for the buyer or the one who just loves art and especially the West!!


title: Outstanding Magazine!

text: This magazine does not disappoint! Incredible photos, elegant design, extraordinary taste, and an overall positive theme throughout every issue. Highly recommend!


title: Now geared to the younger hipster generation.

text: It understandable that the focus shifts with the generations but I miss the old format. Call me a geezer!


title: The BEST magazine hands down

text: Are you kidding?! The BEST magazine hands down! It's a gift for my son that I keep renewing for him every year. He loves it.


title: shopping made easy

text: I have truly enjoyed the magazine from front cover to back page.  This magazine is very informative.It also has need to know information for all who read it.


title: Quality magazine

text: Love Oprah & all her media. Was surprised though how thin the magazine has gotten. Quality articles though.


title: My Favorite Home Magazine

text: I rehab and resell homes and have found this magazine to be consistently among the best for fresh clean decorating ideas.  Yes, the cost of the subscription is high due to the import from Canada.  However, it's worth every penny. When you think about it, purchasing one off magazines from a retail store will cost you about the same in a year - and this magazine is better and will show up in your mail box.


title: Make makes me a better maker

text: This is a great magazine and definitely a worthwhile investment in maker skills.  Humanity in general benefits from the collected wisdom of those who go before us, and I in particular benefit from learning about what other makers are doing.  Make Magazine is crammed with good ideas, encouraging words, do-able projects, and helpful tips and tricks.  Highly recommended.


title: Read review

text: I’m a past and now returning subscriber.  There are always good articles and good info in the magazine.  However, it is a privately published magazine and the owner is rather conservative politically and his editors letters reflect that routinely ( read: Trump train).  Beyond that it’s a great magazine.


title: UPDATED!!!

text:
*** Original text ***

I purchased this magazine thru Amazon back in October of this year and the subscription won't start until December. I just received an email from Taste Of Home stating that I am going to receive a bill with the first issue that I will need to pay?!? Why was I charged thru Amazon and again thru Taste Of Home?

*** End of original text ***

UPDATE: Amazon contacted me after I posted this review and said that they would get hold of Taste Of Home to find out what is going on. I was notified that they have been paid for the subscription and that for some reason my name had found its way back into the unpaid bills. All is good now and am receiving the magazine again. I really do appreciate Amazon.com for going out of their way to make sure everything is on the up and up. I plan on putting all my subscriptions on Amazon.com so I have an easy way of keeping up with them all.

Thanks Amazon.com - 5 stars for Amazon, 4 stars for Taste Of Home...

title: Upward trend on this local glossy

text: I've plucked Philadelphia off the stands two months running & it's time to get a subscription.  The malaise that gripped the mag during the 90s seems to have lifted & they are once again into the entertaining investigative journalism that was their hallmark 15-20 years ago.  More mainstream, no longer dedicated to...errr...whatever it was dedicated to post Mike Mallowe which was basically nothing.  Would give it five stars but Philadelphia needs to show me that it's got legs (as in a fine wine...).


title: Ugh! Now constant “woke” emphasis

text: I used to really like this magazine and subscribed for years. They have changed a lot in the last year or two and I can’t stomach all of the constant woke preaching. I don’t need a lecture- I just want to enjoy a little time to read about light subjects. I cancelled and won’t be renewing.


title: Love Country Living Magazine

text: Received my first issue quickly. Check out process via Amazon.com was quick and simple. I subscribe to a lot of magazines and this is one of my favorites. Love it!

title: Don’t Subscribe Thru Amazon; Magazine Sucks Anyway

text: I have been charged no less than three times since canceling this subscription IN the Amazon magazine manager. I will NEVER order magazines through Amazon again. The content sucks. I can Google better recipes.

text: got this on a promo 3 mags. for a year. @ a great price. it took 2 mo. to start, got 3-4 mags ea. in about 2 mo. now they want to charge full price about at $60 for all 3 mags. it's not even close to a year!

title: High Quality Throughout! Love it!

text: I love this magazine. It has a heavy glossy cover. The pages are heavyweight glossy with full color photos. Tons of information and how-to's which is why I subscribe to it. I moved to the country 2 yrs ago and need help getting into the groove of making efficient use of the land and living in a healthier way. Remembered this publication from the 70's and was excited it is still very much an active publication. Very grateful to the founders and those who have continued a very necessary tool for those of us who love "Mother Earth". Thank you!


title: Five Stars

text: love the magazine.


title: Lost It's Magic

text: As a Martha fan and long time subscriber, since inception, I have to say I'm seriously considering not renewing my subscription this year.  The magazine has lost it's magic and become predicable, boring and full of ads that I tear out first thing when it arrives.  Very little creativity & a  predicable format.  10 minute page turner and I'm finished with it.


title: Not receiving!!

text: Only received two mags.


title: Disappointing - Won't be renewing

text: My kid didn't go for this one, and much prefers National Geographic kids magazine over this. The content is not very engaging. Won't renew this.


title: Five Stars

text: Interesting and entertaining.


title: Florida Designs

text: I used to get this magazine about 7-8 yrs ago. I saw it on Amazon & ordered it again. Beautiful colored photos & lots of design ideas.


title: Promotes all things “New England”.

text: Great magazine, appreciate environmental concern, travelogue, food, recipes, photography, and historical perspectives relative to season place and time


title: Cheap crafts

text: While it's great to re-purpose, weaving cardboard into anything is not my idea of suitable home decor. Not that it can't be, but for me, the do it yourself projects overall seemed a little too cheap. I have only received two issues, so maybe the best is yet to come.


title: Great mag

text: This is my favorite magazine. I actually look for it every month


title: OK, but if you have an issue (no pun intended).....

text:
When you order through a third party or broker and have a problem, the publisher, in this case TimeOut New York cannot or will not help you, they send you back to the "broker" as they describe them.
Unfortunatetly there was a problem with my subscription and I called TimeOut, they sent me to Magazine Outlet the firm behind the Amazon site. The service was just OK, not great.  I had to escallate to a manager, the customer service person was sending me back to TimeOut after the sent me to Magazine Outlet!
Magazine Outlet has a very painful voice response unit, slow, they repeat everything, TIP: To bypass and speak with someone live hit zero twice after the voice prompt, and long wait time to speak with someone. When you do speak with someone they are inexperienced and the more challenging issue, they need to resolve with the magazine publisher vs. resolving it on the phone. I called four days ago, received a call back that they were working the case but to date no call back indicating a resolution.
Magazine subscriptions are pretty basic and most folk probably don't have issues but if you do, the process to resolution is a painful one so keep that in mind.


title: Three stars

text: They've done something different because now it is one of my favorites. Well that was then and this is now. Do not like the latest issue but I did love the previous several months. But you cannot make everyone happy all of the time.<br />Sue osborn

title: Best Food EVER!!

text: This is one of the best southern cooking sources you can get. It’s of course kicked up a notch with lots of Creole and Cajun spices, techniques and wonderful combinations to delight your taste buds.<br />Recipes are always accurate, photos of all recipes besides Tid bits of New Orleans culture and stories of local places to eat and visit. I will ALWAYS get this mag..., worth every cent.


title: BEST ONE I GET..

text:
If you like FLAVOR and Southern cooking, you need this in your collection. I will never stop getting this Mag. It does have a lot of spice and heat to the recipes but you can always adjust that according to your level of tolerance! What is fun are all the recipes from the best places, reviews of restaurants in different regions and they feature different cusines each issue, Mexican, Cajun, BBQ which are all just excellent. I have kicked up my cooking a notch with this mag. and have found many new recipes my family just raves about.
GET IT...you won't find it easily in the stores...SUBSCRIBE!!

A fantastic magazine which has set the standard for periodicals for decades.

If you want, crave, or desire stories about a chic period of American history...then this magazine will be just what the doctor ordered.


title: A very good magazine that has a lot to offer

text: I like the magazine itself. Great advice columns, recipes, and beauty suggestions.


title: Small Magazine

text: I wasn't very happy with this magazine.  I wanted a farm mag. that came every month, but just didn't find the articles very interesting.  It is a very thin publication that I often mixed up with coupon flyers.


title: Good info. Smaller size.

text:
I remember several years ago the Traveler was much larger in size and had more pages. The past photography was so beautiful I used to hang them on my wall in a frame.

Recommend for the newer travel crowd.

title: Easy to do's

text: Very nice

YOUNG Women's Health would be a better title. Not much in here for older women, even those of us in good health. I will go back to finding information on the internet. I won't be renewing this one.

title: Not what I thought.

text: When they say there is a version for a tablet, they mean it. Unlike Kindle for PC, it's tablet or nothing. Next time I'll take their word for it.

title: Do not buy.

text: This is a complete waste of money. Almost no classified ads, which is what I bought it for. Never again!


title: Lots of recipe errors in this magazine...

text:
I purchased a fine cooking magazine from our local bookstore as I was going to find a special occasion recipe for a "Wow dessert". I decided to pick up their holiday edition and was sad to say that this magazine is riddled with errors. I found multiple recipes where pictures and instructions were missing.

An example: Chocolate Mousse Layer Cake. This is a layer cake with chocolate mousse filling / topping. Errors in this recipe include:

A. No picture or instruction that tells the reader that they will need to cut the cake in half to make the layer cake or split the filling into two pans. The recipe referred to the cake "pan" as a singular and it was very confusing. It was not until I went to the site to verify the recipe did it include the proper pictures / instruction.

B. Missing ingredients from the list. I don't know who edits this magazine, but it really is horrendous to exclude ingredients. The above chocolate mousse layer cake recipe requires that the wet and dry ingredients be added together, then additional water needs to be added. There is no reference in the magazine to the amount of water that needs to be added. On the website for the magazine the recipe was corrected.

I'm okay with a minor error or instruction, it happens, but to have such HUGE RECIPE ERRORS really is unprofessional and frustrating.

I personally will never reference Finecooking again for any recipe. There are better, more reliable sources out there.


title: Very informative

title: Ladybug Magazine

text: I ordered a gift subscription for my 6 year old niece, and she just loves this magazine.  She reads it every night before bed and is always anxious for the next issue to arrive.


title: Age appropriate and entertaining.

text: My daughter enjoys this magazine. It is appropriate for her age. She enjoys the quizzes, exercises, and most articles. Teen Vogue is definitely NOT age appropriate, I highly recommend Seventeen.


title: Love the magazine (when it comes)

text: Paid for a year(6magazines) only received 2. Not to mention the ones I got were more ads than articles. The articles were good though.


title: What happen?

text: Used to be monthly, now 6 issues per year.  I guess the magazine business is over.  Too bad this was our favorite.


title: Best Source for New Vegan Information

text: I couldn't be happier with this magazine. Wonderful recipes, inspiring stories, and new product information makes this magazine a valuable & trusted source for new vegan information. I am at 7+ year vegan on my second year of subscribing & have no complaints.


Very thoughtful articles written by knowledgeable people.  They do a great job covering a range of topics.  I really enjoy the opening section: Citings where they have short 5 paragraph blurbs about what has happened in the week.

text: This is a review of the purchase of a renewal subscription to Fine Homebuilding Magazine from Amazon.

I have lost 15 pounds by getting chemically laden foods out of my diet with help from this magazine. I never buy anythign that has an ingredient I can't pronounce and typically never buy anything with more than four ingredients on the list. It has been easy and enjoyable. Full of great clean recipes, hints, meal plans, nutritional information.

title: Multiples at once not bi  monthly & only 4!

text: Received multiples at once instead of bi monthly as intended. Not very happy with subscription and cancelled future payment for renewal. Also never reciped the 5th magazine. So 3 all at once followed by 1 random one a month later. NOT AT ADVERTISED! I'm very unhappy with this purchase as a whole!


title: Not at all what I remember from my childhood. ...

text: Not at all what I remember from my childhood.  It used to have projects that taught you how to build things and sparked your imagination to invent.  I flipped through the latest issue and pitched it in the recycle bin in less than 5 minutes.

The Penthouse Forum is very arousing and really make any man very sexed up.
I am glad I took a chance on a one year subscription.
The nude pictures go al,l the  way.


title: Five Stars

text: Perfect!


title: Great Magazine for Fashion

text: This magazine has lots of pictures of celebrities in their clothes. I would say this magazine is more useful for ideas for formal and semi formal events. It doesn't show as many ideas for casual, everyday outfits. I got this mag on amazon for $5 a year which is a great deal, so keep checking back as they run this deal a few times a year.


title: Great ideas

text: I enjoy getting and reading the magazine.  I don't pay much attention to the ads. I do get ideas and information from the ads, and  they provide me with new product information.  I'll never do that many of the  projects,  but I  enjoy seeing what others are doing.  I  just keep renewing to ensure I don't miss anything.


title: Great articles

text: Read from cover to cover each month. Great articles for gun lovers from beginner to expert.


title: The best (almost) - but definately the best read

text:
Automobile magazine emerged from the creative mind of David E. Davis, Jr. who founded it in 1986 after leaving Car & Driver abruptly.  Their moto: "No Boring Cars."  This moto has largely succeeded.  Davis left several years ago - he's in his 70's so he's entitled to slow down - and left the editorship to Ms. Jean Lindamood Jennings, also formerly of Car & Driver.  Personally, I think she is brilliant, but Davis and the suits didn't agree.  She assumed the position of "President," while Brit Gavin Conway joined as the new editor in chief.  Jennings colum returned to it's traditional place on the back page.  She is charming, sharp-witted, and just a share irreverant.  Like I said, brilliant.  Other notables include the incomparable Jamie Kitman and the newly discovered Ezra Dyer.  Both write with a candor unmatched by any other automobile publication.

The downside: the magazine is a bit thin.  They charge as much or more than other magazines for a subscription, but include less "stuff" each month.  Their tech stats also pale in comparison to others.  But if numbers are your thing, read Road & Track or Car & Driver.  However, if you read to read, you'll love Automobile.  Personally, I just subscribe to them all.


title: Bloody great!

text: I read several monthly automotive publications and this one is my favourite.  The photography and layout are excellent.  And the colloquial writing style is fresh and engaging.  Kudos especially to Jamie Kitman and Georg Katcher, who both write for American publications as well.


title: Delivery Problems!

text: Why is it that Us Weekly can't get a copy to me weekly?  Sometimes three weeks will go by without an issue.  Then I'll receive three in one week.  Us Weekly assures me that everything is normal and that they ship them just as soon they come off the printing presses.  I'm not buying their story or the magazine again.

text: We bought this subscription for my fifteen year old daughter as a birthday gift.  She kept asking when the magazine would start arriving.  I told her it usually takes 6-8 weeks for the first issue.  This was not the case at all!  It was only a matter of a few weeks and she was so excited to get her first issue!  This is a magazine I grew up with and now my daughter gets to do the same.


title: Fun reads

text: I miss playing the word quiz<br />Along with good reads too


title: have not received the item yet!!!!!!

text: Would love to review if I had received it but I have not gotten the first issue yet!!  Any idea why?


title: Great magazine

text: Has tons of patterns. Have only tried one so far but there are endless options to choose from. They also give you tips to tweak the patterns for personal style. I look forward to my next magazine.


title: An Excellent Resource for all Russophiles

text:
Russian Life provides a fascinating mix of articles in each issue on things reasonably related to Russia.  Some stories cover current events, others delve into recent and ancient history.
All articles are very well illustrated and are written at a level that can appeal to both the casual and the dedicated Russophile.  I enjoy the magazine on one level, and my Russian born wife enjoys it on a very different level, with the main point in common being that we both read it from cover to cover.
I love the short little factoids that they also include each issue, and even find the advertisements interesting!
Lastly, they have an annual Russian calendar that I've been buying in copious quantities each year - excellent for personal use and for gifts!  A great magazine from a great company, and about a once-great and potentially great-again country.

title: Customer Service is anything but

text: I like this magazine. Full Stop. The problem is, when I called customer service, and I use that term in it's loosest possible connotation, they said they couldn't tell me where I could buy their magazine in London. Not outer Slobovia. London. They said yes, they do distribute to retailers in London, they just couldn't tell me who they might be. Hmmm.


title: Fun in every issue!

title: Diversity in social issues, history, science, and art

text: I love my subscription to Smithsonian!  I have had subscriptions to several magazines in the recent past- New Republic, Discover, Popular Science, Harper’s, Time- but have found Smithsonian to be my favorite in content and quality.  It is a magazine you can savor in several sessions (and I keep my old ones for future viewing like on long car trips), because there are a great deal of articles to read.  A nice mix of articles on social issues, history, art, and science- I really like the diversity. ALSO, as an added bonus, you get a Smithsonian membership card, which allows you 10% off in the Smithsonian stores and on admission to special showings…definitely worth it when I went to DC this September!

text: I’m only giving one star because literally that’s how many issues I’ve gotten. I’ve only gotten 1!!!! I bought this last year and I just got the notice that I need to renew my subscription...well, that’s not happening.


title: I love it. I have not read everything as of ...

text: Thank you for this magazine Amazon. I love it.  I have not read everything as of yet. Very resourceful and great meaning in the articles i have read. There is one article about women and her body and I decided to look at the website right away. The item I can not mention here but I looked into it and it was exactly what I needed for me since I have been having problems. I have tried other products and they just didn't work for my body. Love that web site all because of Dr OZ. Thank you Doctor OZ for the article and for helping me.


title: Real simple

text: I got a membership on this magazine years ago. I really liked it for the first couple of years. It was interesting and unique<br /> But this is the last year I will have a membership. It is now degraded to your average kind of magazine. Uninteresting an boring, like all the other ones I do not want a membership for.


title: Looking for articles? Enjoy adverts.

text: Half or more of the magazine is filled with advertisements. If you are looking for actual reading that you expect when you spend money, I would find another source.

title: but fun to browse

text: Lots of ads, but fun to browse.


title: tailored for me

text: I don't often have time to read magazines, and then they just pile up. But this one caught my attention when I first found it at the gym, because it's tailored for ME: a woman over 40. As I flipped through it, I realized that most other magazines can't keep my attention because they have a much broader audience. Admittedly, this one is only tailored in the age it's aimed for (not necessarily hobbies, politics, faith-based issues), but I already can relate much more to the content than to many other lifestyle magazines. Looking forward to issue #2. . . .

title: Mountain Bike Advertising?

text:
I'm not sure why this magazine is so highly rated. Sure it's an O.K. magazine, if you like immersing yourself in hype, marketing-speak and incredibly superficial language. Admittedly the pictures are pretty and as an obsessed mountain biker i can say we like bike porn. I just cannot read any of the articles. Chock full of over-the-top adjectives and 'xtreme' language. I don't trust a magazine that calls every new incremental advancement in biking technology 'revolutionary' or 'amazing' or any number of disgustingly inappropriate modifiers. They ceaselessly use vapid 'technical' jargon made up to sound high-minded and high-tech, but is nothing more than marketing spew.

The tech advice column is full of suspicious letters that have the stench of stealth advertising. If there's one thing that's well thought-out about this magazine, it's how best to bombard the reader with sales pitches, half-truths and hype.

In short, this magazine is blatant industry propaganda. My first advice: don't buy it. If you do buy it (for the love of god) don't take anything between those covers seriously.

title: Card Player Magazine - for people who play to win!

text:
CPM is distributed for free in many card-rooms and casinos. Because of that more than half of the pages are full-page ads for gaming equiptment, for poker-tournaments and for card-rooms, brick & mortar as well as internet-based. If you (like I) live too far away to pick Card Player up for free twice a month it's a treat to have your copy brought to your mailbox. I've been an avid reader of CPM for many years, a subscriber for close to one year, and I'm a big fan.
All issues contains articles covering poker-strategy, low and medium stakes ring games and tournaments, reportage from big poker-tournaments, and legislative, judicical and taxation-related info. The articles are mostly written by professional poker-players from CPM's roster, including some of the most successful tournament players. It's not unusual to see the same tournament, sometimes even the same hand being analyzed and discussed by different players, each from their own perspective.
Articles on the psychology of poker, on common mistakes or misconceptions by players, and of course on the World Poker Tour all add up to make the magazine not only fun reading, but also a precious learning-tool for the aspiring poker-champion as well as the interested home-game amateur.


title: Wired/Conde'-Nast DECEPTIVE, will auto-renew no matter what you do

text:
Had a Wired trial sub, disabled auto-renew two months before sub was supposed to end.  Conde'- Nast (the publisher) auto-renewed it anyway, and when I checked my sub account with them, auto-reset was turned on again.

There was NO place to turn off auto-renew - NONE.  The page said to go to the main account page to cancel to sub to obtain a refund, BUT there is no way to cancel the sub on the page.  Called the 1-800 number.

At the 1-800 number they list six items, but NONE to CANCEL the sub, so you press #7 for "All other...".  The person answering trues to sell you a digital sub, even after you tell them you want to cancel.  Eventually they will cancel the sub and offer a refund, BUT THEY DON"T PROVIDE ANY REFERENCE NUMBER, which leaves me suspicious that they will "forget" that just like they did my previous attempt to end auto-renewal.

CAVEAT EMPTOR:


title: How to be sexually and politically active guide, not a fashion mag!

text: Encourages sexual promiscuity instead of responsibility. I purchased this in order for my daughter to see what is in style. It was really just an ultra liberal political magazine. Not what I was looking for and not suitable for young teens. My daughter doesn't even open the issues when they come in the mail. This wasn't what I thought it would be.


title: Large print addition is excellent choice

text:
I purchased the large print Reader's Digest for my Mother and her roomate who are in a care home. They are both avid readers.
 They loved the last subscription of RD so when I saw the large print version I thought I would try it. They called today to say how much more they enjoyed the
large print because they could read it for a long time without any eye strain. Thank you RD for making their lives a little more enjoyable today!


title: Love this Magazine

text: This magazine has great articles that are informative, relevant and interesting! I highly recommend this magazine to gun lovers!


title: beyond the usual intelligence

text:
a lovely magazine filled with insights that go beyond just about anything else. The spectrum of human mystical/spiritual experience is covered with eloquence and uniqueness.
I wish magazines like this were available when I'm waiting to have my teeth worked on or my car fixed. The human mind is polluted by so much sports and celebrity trash - that works like this end up soothing the soul and revivifying the mind.
Editors - you have done a brilliant job, indeed.


title: Yes, we have a magazine too

text: It comes out four times a year for people who give money to the association and/or pay the subscription. There is information for members, a pull out section for families (with good activities for all ages) and housekeeping material for the denomination. It has depth and meaning because we don't go around shoving it into the public's faces. If you want it, you have to search it out for yourself.


title: Save your money

text:
I used to subscribe to Ms. but an inaugural editorial by Elaine Lafferty forced my cancellation.
Despite the genre's start-up of 'Rock for Choice' and consistent anti-racism/GLBT rights support, she somehow managed to list 'grunge' as an anti-feminist artifact the magazine survived. Ms. Lafferty is actually thankful Ms. has outlived a feminism which is important to the political consciousness of myself and many other gen-xers.
Instead of conceding her mistake, this same editor snappily responded to my letter with a sarcastic one. Age discrimination is this person's idea of progressive organizing. She does not care to realize that no feminist lives forever, and this magazine will fold if my generation and others are not taken seriously. Even agreeing on most other issues, we have little reason to continue subsidizing a project mocking our own generational identity.
Since Ms. is supposed to be a feminist magazine, I no longer need to subscribe. I am saddened by the lack of alternatives available in the 2004 media, but reason at least they will not insult my generation while then insisting they need our money to fight discrimination.
Ms. can fight discrimination only if it dumps Lafferty. Until then it is obsolete.


title: Nice gift

title: MEMORIES BRING BACK FUN MOMENTS

text:
REMINISCE is a wonderful magazine. I re-live my childhood and chuckle at some of the stories. I enjoy passing these on to shut-ins, friends and I also leave them in the doctors office when I have my appointments. I was delighted to see that the senior center has them for reading as well. With all our life's changes from Model T Fords to computers, we need a magazine like this. Its enjoyable reading.  REMINISCE has you stopping the merry-go-round of our lives, and take time to relax, laugh, enjoy and stories about men and women in the armed forces. Our prayers and respect to this day go out to the folks in the Armed Forces and their families. This magazine gives young people an insight that way back then, when things were tough, we all survived by doing whatever had to be done.
A young friend asked me what a party-line was when talking about phones. I was able to explain what it was.  He being in his early 20's, looked it up on his phone. He couldn't fathom how we could talk to one another.
Thank you REMINISCE for giving us memories and stories of how it was. And we all managed to survive because we were all in the same boat. Just trying to make a living and keep the roof over our heads for our families.
PLEASANT, STRESS-FREE READING THAT IS ENJOYABLE.
PEACE TO ALL

title: Fun for MET fans

text:
I started watching opera almost nightly during the pandemic, thanks to the nightly free operas streamed by The Met. I subscribed to this magazine as a way to treat myself. I felt I got to know some of the Met stars by seeing them onstage and thought this magazine would be a way to get further information.

I've enjoyed it fairly much. One suggestion is that I wish there were more articles on the singers starring in the operas currently being shown. It seems there are many articles about "classic" singers from the earlier 20th century, and many about up-and-coming singers, but not a lot about those from say 2000-2020, which is what I was hoping for.


title: I love Lucky!

text: I have never been a big fan of the magazines aimed at women.  They only contained a few things I was interested in and never enough about the things I wanted to read.  The few shopping articles were generally devoted to high dollar merchandise that I could not even dream of being able to purchase.  Enter Lucky - a shopping magazine for REAL women.  Sure, there are some big ticket items, but they have no fear of recommending a shoe from Jimmy Choo right beside one you can buy from Target.  They show you how to get the look for less and have more articles about the things I want to know.  And at this price, it is not a big risk to give it a try.  You never know, you might end up hooked like me!


title: GREAT PRICE---THANKS AMAZON

text: EXCELLENT


title: Interesting and Educational.

Many years ago I subscribed to this magazine and I'm about to subscribe again. Whenever I pick it up, i realize I regret not subscribing to it.

This magazine is about exactly what it it is title. It is about money- earning it, keeping it, investing it, saving it, etc.
One month you might see an article on the cover about what types of home additions are the best for increasing home value. Another month, the front cover article might be about learning from the Great Depression. Still another month might be about college loans. The main articles are wide ranging and mostly interesting and very helpful in learning about money in some way.

Additionally, each month, once you open the magazine you might find articles about looking at one particular stock a little bit deeper. You  might see an Q and A session with a money manager or financial planner, you might see a book review (or two or three) and so on. Many of the articles are fairly easy to read. The pictures that are included with the article are usually instructive and add to the article, but there are plenty of people pictures so you can put names to faces as well.

I have never read one of these that I haven't walked off feeling a little bit smarter. I often will read this and act on the information or go search out a book it mentions etc. I always feel that it has helped me have a better relationship with money and how I manage it.


title: Enjoy!

text:
Boy do I love this magazine.
This magazine has such striking gorgeous pictures. Even if you do nothing but look at the pictures and read the captions you can't help but learn and be drawn into the article. There are a lot of pictures.

The magazine is a larger format than a traditional magazine so it's easy to handle for older hands (at least that is what my parents say) and the pictures are so much easier to enjoy.

The articles have a wide range of topics. One month you might be reading the cover article about the New York skyline and another month you might be reading about Egyptian discoveries. There might be articles about sunken ships, a famous painting or an interesting person in history.
While some of the articles don't appeal to me, most of them do.

What this is not- is the most in depth history magazine available on the market. What this is is a National Geographic magazine but more about history instead of geography.


title: Great Magazine.

text:
I've been trying improve my eating habits and so I subscribed to this magazine.
It is well written with nice pictures that only add to the text. The recipes for the most part are easy to read and require easy to find ingredients. There is rarely, if ever,  a recipe that requires some strange ingredient or some strange cooking method.

I will agree with some that it seems particularly ad heavy. This seems to be the case for many magazines I get lately as they are trying to stay at a reasonable price and compete with the recipe sites on line. However, the opportunity to have yummy recipes that are healthy and easy to prepare in one place is a big plus of this magazine.

I like it enough that I have given it as gifts to some of my friends for holidays.


title: One of my favorite cooking magazines.

text:
I love this magazine. In fact, I enjoy it so much I have given it as a gift this year to several of my friends. This is a cookbook every month in the mail. What is not to love?

THe pictures are bright and colorful and only add to the article or recipe.

The recipes are generally family friendly. Most of the recipes, if not all of them, require very little in the way of difficult to find ingredients, special cooking equipment or strange methods of cooking. Occasionally it will cover a new fad or piece of equipment (Such as an electric pressure cooker) with a few recipes to try if you buy this new gadget.

If you have ever googled a recipe and stumbled across the recipe on allrecipes.com then you know exactly what your getting when you get this magazine. Yummy deliciousness.


title: Enjoyable and lovely. A tour of the South.

text:
This is a beatiful magazine.

It is a magazine directed to those women who live in the south, wish they lived in the South or typically enjoy what the South has to offer.
The decorating style is very over the top much like you might see in Tea Time magazine or Southern Living or Victorian. It is very lush and fancy in many ways.

One of the things I like is that it highlights different cities in the South. For example, the last magazine that I looked at had an article about South Charleston and another about good food that you can try in Louisiana that is outside of New Orleans. This seems typical of all of the Southern Lady magazines I have read.

There are also articles about cooking with recipes, decorating, throwing parties, etc etc.

I have enjoyed reading this magazine. It is not my style of decorating as I prefer a less cluttered look. However, I still get many ideas from this magazine. Enjoy.


title: Lush, Victorian Bliss. More of everything fancy.

text:
I have really enjoyed this magazine lately.

It is full of lush, colorful photography. The reading is simple and enjoyable.
Everything about this magazine is about elegance, tradition, and taking the time to have a lovely life. Many of the suggestions are not difficult or expansive, while some of them are just that- difficult or expensive to duplicate. There are recipes, decorating ideas, vacation places and more.

This is quite simply a magazine for women who want to live in elegance.

Enjoyable.


title: Enjoy.

text:
I subscribed this magazine as a gift to my mother. It is typical of magazines in that it has articles about diabetes and recipes and pictures and advertisements. This magazine though is directed to those with diabetes. The recipes are generally easy and typically require easy to find ingredients. There are pictures of many/all of the recipes and all of the ones that we have tried are good. The articles are sometimes helpful and sometimes filler as is typical of magazines similar to this.

She has enjoyed one year of this magazine and has asked that we subscribe to it again as a gift for her.
Well worth the money.


title: I want to Like this

text:
I want to like this magazine. In fact, I do like this magazine, except for the many many ads. There are ads on almost every page. There are full size ads, small ads, business card sized ads.

The pictures are lovely and the cover almost always draws me into the magazine. There are some interesting articles about this fascinating state I live in, and I am always interested in what they have listed inside. However, once I start reading it, I'm always frustrated trying to find the articles in between the ads.

This magazine has always had a lot of ads but lately it seems to have even more than normal.

I won't subscribe to this magazine for that reason.


title: A favorite

text:
My daughter is reaching the age where she is a little bit old for this magazine.  Yet she continues to request this magazine as a gift subscription from family each year for her birthday. She completely enjoys this magazine.

IT is a high quality, well put together magazine. The art is lovely. The pictures are bright, appealing, and only adds to the text of the magazine. My daughter particularly likes the little bugs. They are funny and cute and have running little stories through out the magazine.

Each month there is usually a game or a small craft in a pull out section of the magazine. These fascinate my daughter and we have played many of the games included in the magazines. Some of the same people appear in story to story each month such as a group of plucky young kids who have to learn to work together, solve problems and help others.

There is no advertising so this is a great magazine for young readers.

Enjoy.


title: Delightful

text:
I even like the ads in this magazine.

Everything is about being a little bit feminine, enjoying some 'me time', living in beauty and generally slowing down to enjoy what is around us.

The recipes are seasonally appropriate. There are lots and lots of recipes and they are about the yummy tea time type recipes. Chicken salad, napoleans, dainty cookies, tiny sandwhiches and more. Yummy.

The pictures are lovely and only add to the text.

This is truly an enjoyable magazine.
Enjoy.


title: Excellent, Learning Happens Between the Covers

text:
I always learn something new from this magazine. And if I don't learn something, my son does, my husband does or my daughter does. This is full of gorgeous pictures, interesting articles and lots of information.

I think it is a bit overpriced and sometimes the articles are a bit dull and dry. That is why I ranked this a high four/low five stars.

Overall, if I could only get one magazine; this would be one of the top contenders. Well worth the money.
Enjoy.


title: A Great Gift

text:
I bought this as a gift for my mother in law. Having paged through a years worth of these magazines I can say that it is full of pretty pictures that compliment the text. There are many helpful hints in this magazine.

My mother in law really likes this magazine and has mentioned repeatedly how helpful it is each year as she grows her flowers.


title: What a Great magazine

text:
I picked this up when I was visiting Louisiana and wow. The photos are great and make my mouth water every time. There are clear directions, lots of recipes, not too many ads and interesting articles all about Louisiana Food and cooking food that you might eat in Louisiana.

The price seems high but I have renewed my subscription for several years now. That is how much I like this magazine. This is one of the favorite magazines I get now.

I will be honest, if you do not like the type of food you might find in Louisiana (Gumbo, shrimp, oysters, crabs, spicy food etc) then you will not like this magazine. It is dedicated entirely to Louisiana Food.

Also, some of the ingredients might not be what you would consider normal in a household other than one in Louisiana (boudan, andoullie sausage etc) but if you look a bit you can find those ingredients and it is worth the search to make some of the recipes in this magazine.

Well worth the money.
enjoy


title: Educational, Lovely Pictures

text:
If you are thinking of ordering a magazine and want something that is a bit more National Geographic like and want to skip the ads, this is a good magazine to consider. A huge plus for this magazine is it is ad free.

Each magazine covers one animal, or one type of animal, with lots of information about the animal. There is usually a puzzle page, a centerfold spread with drawings, pictures, and detailed information about the animal and where it lives.

The magazine is filled with lovely pictures. There are drawings such as the leg and foot bones of an elephant that only enhance the text. If a child did nothing but look at the pictures, the child would learn something.

I particularly like the fact that if an animal  is endangered it deals with the facts and information in a very straight forward manner. It does not get into large discussions about how to save the animal by turning off lights, with little or no connection between the two. Rather this magazine gives factual information and helpful ideas.

If you are a homeschooler or a teacher or a parent with a child, this is a great addition to your monthly library.


title: Superb

text:
This magazine takes one topic and delves into it in depth. The articles are interesting and useful. The pictures, drawings, cartoons and photographs only enhance the text. They are colorful and enriching and a child can learn simply by reading the information with the pictures. This magazine is appropriate for about 4th grade and 5th grade.

This is a great magazine and while it is a bit more expensive for a subscription than other magazines directed towards children; I would say it is worth more because it is such a good magazine.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.


title: Love this magazine

text: This magazine is fun and upbeat. The pictures are bright and colorful but more importantly they add to the text. If the text is about cooking a steak for example the pictures will be clear and easy to understand and will fully document what the text is saying. There are many many recipes. One section actually has a pull out shopping list and menus for a week. A great magazine. Well worth the money.


title: A lovely magazine

text:
This magazine is lovely.

It has beautiful pictures and great recipes. There is not one recipe that I have tried from this magazine that has not turned out great. The best part about the recipes is that it is usually fresh foods that are in season and are not difficult to find.

It touches on home decorating and despite the name and despite being directed towards southwest living it is not the type of home deco you might expect. It is classic, stylish and modern decorating.

There are travel ideas and it is usually something the whole family can afford. They are usually a little bit off the beaten path and feature something quirky, fun or plain interesting.

Well worth the money. Enjoy.


title: Excellent

text:
No ads. Large print. Beautiful illustrations. Interesting age appropriate stories. Every magazine by this publisher (Cricket, etc) are all quality magazines that are child centered.

My daughter is five. I think this is a bit young for her but she loves it and 'reads' it cover to cover. She also enjoys looking at the pictures as well.

This is worth every penny.


title: Great Magazine

text:
This magazine is a great one. My son (age 7) looks for it in the mailbox and when it arrives he reads it cover to cover. He particularly likes the section about scouts saving their leaders or scouts helping scouts. It is an interesting book. It has badges you can earn at times and hints and helps and advice for a variety of scouting type activities and events.

Enjoy.

Well worth the money.


title: it is a better choice to purchase a magazine when I have completed ...

text: Not enough challenging crosswords in the magazine to suit me...and I ended up canceling the subscription after 6 months because I didn't<br />have enough time to keep up with the arrival each new magazine. Fo me, it is a better choice to purchase a magazine when I have completed one that I have on hand.


title: Beautiful

text: Beautiful pictures of birds, flowers and butterflies.  Dislike the advertisements, multiple, in magazine.


title: A blessing

text: A clean, uplifting message for Women. Tips for homemaking, and child rearing. Idea, and recipe sharing. A Christian message that can be enjoyed by everyone!


title: Not just for dieters...

text: I bought this magazine for myself and for my parents because I bought Cooking Light off the rack at the store, and ended up using almost every single recipe in it!  My mom has diabetes, so she found it a great help and was also nicely surprised to find that the recipes actually taste good (and use common ingredients).  I highly recommend Cooking Light, not only because it's easy to read, the food looks appealing and is mostly very easy to prepare, but because my family and I all love it.

I like some of the articles in this magazine.  Like so many other magazines it carries too many advertisements.  The other issue is that the issues sometimes dwell on just one subject for the month.  If you have no interest in the subject it is disappointing.

title: Okay kids' mag.

text:
I got a free subscription to this magazine when I became a Scout.  It had some articles in it to augment my already healthy camping and outdoors-man skills; skiing, fishing, hiking, general outdoor survival and first aid, and the like.

In addition to scouting skills, it also had small articles on topics mainly geared for boys.  The prose was fairly simple and easy to read.  There were mazes, maps, games like crossword puzzles and such inside the pages.

It's okay for what it is.  I haven't glanced at an issue in twenty years, but seeing it listed on Amazon brings back some fond memories.


title: Why I lost respect for PC Gamer

text:
Throughout the 90s I was a computer gamer.  I would occasionally flip through the pages of a mag called PC Entertainment, but paid it little mind.  I knew what I liked on the computer store shelves, and spent my money where I wanted.

But I got burned by several bad titles.  Then I looked at PC Gamer, and lo and behold I was getting reviews of games that were winners and losers.  Hard honest reviews of intelligent games written by veteran gamers old and young alike.

Now I've aged, but I still game, and there are still a lot of older gamers out there who, like me, used to subscribe and read PC Gamer with a lot of anticipation.  But the days of war sims and flight sims are gone.  Now it's all hit-scan shooters and social games aimed at the younger generations, because hey, that's where the money is.

No problem there, but PC Gamer used to be on top of ALL the games aimed at ALL the demographics.  Not just young gamers with spending cash, not just old retirees with fixed incomes and spare time, but EVERYONE.

Now the games are aimed strictly at young people (as most games always were), and the reviews of past games are no longer found on the PC Gamer archive.  Even games that are as young as maybe four or five years old have had their reviews purged, and audience for those games completely shoved aside.

And what's to come next?  No one knows.  But it's clear that the once PC Gamer with a kidnapped Ricketts the monkey who was replaced with Cocoanut Monkey as their mascot, has made a move to cater strictly to the young hip gaming crew still in high school or coming out of college.

Well, this gamer said adios to his subscription, and recommends everyone else do likewise.

title: Good News/Bad News -

text: I have to say that this didn't work out well for me. Instead of renewing my subscription, it started a second subscription and I received two copies of the same issue. I've had to contact WIRED directly in hopes of straightening things out.


title: BARGAIN

text: GREAT


title: Enjoyable, but not a truly accurate title!

text:
If readers will notice there are very mixed reviews on this particular magazine. I agree with almost all the ones I read, but the magazine is neither as good or as bad as they say. Yes, the magazine is chock full of adverts for relatively expensive items (I really wonder what the editors think is the difference between expensive and nonexpensive it...I suspect their 'definition' of the term is going to be significantly different from mine!). But there are actually some good ideas in there about making things more simple. So the reader doesn't run out and buy exactly what they recommend in their clothing section! Go find the same thing, only less expensive...it can be done.
They have had a few interesting articles about women and friendship, fulfilling needs, etc. that I have found worth my time to read. Also some on women surviving traumatic ordeals. What I find hilarious is they ask questions of women and the one who writes in the 'best' answer, gets something from the recent issue. First off, this type of situation is very subjective. I got a kick out of the issue where they asked what women would choose to do for themselves for a weekend. I am sure it was just me...but some of the answers were very self-centered and a bit on the selfish side. I don't think I would have included those...
In order to survive, magazines have to advertise. The BOSC ads don't bother me...I am deaf. If I don't like the ads, I skip over them. However, when I want a magazine that is totally different from my everyday life in academia and disabilities, but something not totally inane as many of the regular women's magazines are...I reach for this one. It's my hours break away from 'reality'. Suits me.
