title: Boring

text: This magazine is the boring version of Fast Company.


title: excellent

text: short reading, but knowledgeable

The subscription automatically renews without permission.


title: good reporting

text: It had good reporting not found in other point media during the election cycle


title: Improved quality

text:
I received my magazine in my P.O. box and the condition was UNACCEPTABLE. The magazine looks 10 years old. The cover is all teared up, ripled and cracked and even the back cover has two huge tears. It looks like someone teared two big pieces out of the magazine. Im outraged!! If i receive a magazine like that again I'm canceling the subscription and will move onto Motortrend..The magazine wasn't even packaged...period. It was just sent as is...? I can't understand how that makes any sense..Plus it took forevvvver for me to even receive the magazine. Something needs to be done about this..

Update 12/11/13:

Quality is now much improved but only because they wrap the magazine up WITH a promo. Basically only when there trying to sell you something will they actually send you a magazine in great condition.

text: This magazine has so much advertising that it's difficult to tell the fluff from the actual articles.  I tried to cancel the subscription before I received the second issue.  This just isn't my thing.

title: ADVERTISMENTS, with NO STORIES

text:
i am half tempted to cancel this, and get my $7 back.  what a horrible magazine.  i kid you not when i say that out of 127 pages, 100 of them are advertisements, and the other 27 pages are "articles"  but out of those 27 pages, 5 of them are really just advertisements written by the guys who make the magazine.  15 of those pages are articles that contain less then 50 words a page, and the last 5 are REAL articles that have some sort of story written on the page.

times are hard, i understand, but i can not see buying this magazine again with that many advertisements.  this magazine is going nowhere fast, do not expect it to be around much longer.  i was looking for a real magazine, with around 50% or less advertisements and good stories.


title: A Young Man with many accomplishments.

text: Can you imagine whats on the min ds of little children and what they must think? Black children and children of colour now have a story book ending. I find it incredibly giving of Harry and I say Bravo. Yes, I am a Trump racist. You;'re a wonderful person Harry and you show us all how human you are.<br />Always a fan of his. I saw him in person when the Helo he was in landed aboard our ship delivering a contingent of Marines from combat. No fan fare we didn't even know it was him until as I was unload the wounded saw him through my googles. Carefully and gentle he land his overloaded helo on our heaving deck, he didn't lift off until he was certain all aboard were attended to and brought below. Accomplished pilot and human being. A real example of what a man should strive to be.


title: Do NOT ever give a gift subscription

text: I finally had to cancel C&D after a 3 yr battle to cancel a gift subscription that Hearst Inc keeps renewing.  This is not an accident or a mistake; this is how this company does business.  No one will answer a subscription question.  Though the renewal says you can cancel on the cus svc website, there is NO WHERE, NO LINK that allows a cancellation.  Love the magazine but had to cancel my subscription as well.  Lack of ethics when it comes to Hearst Publishing.

title: Exceeded my Expectations

text: My brother was in the hospital lately and asked me to get him a Mad Magazine and I have not looked at a Mad Mag is about 30 years but I found where I could get it on Amazon and got him a yearly subscription and he loves it and saw the smile it put on his face and that let me know I made the RIGHT choice.

title: Very interesting

text: Most of the articles in "Family Handyman" are of interest to me even if some just reinforce something I had learned in the past.


title: OK Magazine

text: Popular Mechanics strays a little too wide in subject matter in an effort to reach more readers. My interests vary pretty widely, but they cross my line of interest too infrequently to keep subscribing.

title: This is a womans version of Maxum

text: I can not imagine a straight guy wanting this magazine. Is has some decent health tips but seriously, why does a man want to see ripped guys in marble sacks. They were going directly into the trash half way through the year (after the wife got a look at them).


title: Would not recommend

text: Only received one issue.  Great magazine, bad deal.


title: Not the same magazine . . .

text:
I've read this magazine all my life, but I finally had to cancel my subscription. The content has shifted away from mechanical subjects to more general-interest articles.

Also, the text is much smaller than it was in the old days, and my tired old eyes ache from reading it.

Overall, I just don't find it as helpful as I used to.


title: A luxury getaway magazine

text: If you're looking mostly for affordable coastal decorating ideas, this is probably not the magazine for you.  Five years ago (or more), the magazine content was different - it had fun, affordable coastal decorating ideas.  If you're subscribing based on familiarity with the magazine from a while back, you may be disappointed.  I gave it 5 stars because it does deliver on what it says it has - luxury coastal getaways/vacation/resort areas.  I ended up canceling my subscription after about 8 issues, but it was no fault of theirs; just my incorrect assumption that the content hadn't changed.


title: Five Stars

text: Cool magazine.

text: awesome magazine.  so much information, tips and ideas.  A must have for any DIYer and homeowner who likes to  do projects at home and save some money.


title: Decent magazine at a good price

text: I have subscribed to the nook version for a few years now and thoroughly enjoy this magazine. It has enough tech and what's new to keep me happy.


title: Nope

text: Bought in November. First issue scheduled for January!!


title: Decent magazine.

text: I have always subscribed to Popular Photography (still do) and enjoy the reading. Recently I wanted to try something different in addition to PopPhoto so I decided on Shutterbug. Like most magazines it has a lot more advertisements than I care to see but at the same time I really don't get bored reading it. It has a lot of stuff about the latest and greatest gear which is fine but I would like to see some of that scaled back and maybe have a few more technical technique and how-to articles. In all it is a decent reading magazine but if your looking for a lot of how-to stuff then this might not be the magazine for you.


title: The best Linux magazine currently on the market..

text:
I've been reading Linux Format for a few years now. This magazine is typical of the excellent quality of many magazines published in England about the whole range of subjects. Having said that it's the best on the market, I should qualify that a little, by pointing out that I'm not a Linux developer/guru so I'm coming at it from the viewpoint of the relatively casual intermediate level user. There may be Linux magazines that are better if you're a Linux system administrator, or if you are developing software for Linux.

I enjoy the variety of articles covering various aspects of Linux and the "How-TO" articles as well as reviews of products and software for Linux.

I sure wish it was a bit less pricey, though.


title: An insufferable leftist rag for boomers...

text:
Within the first two minutes of flipping through the Feb. 8, 2021 issue (the first one I was sent), I came across a ridiculous climate-change article, some anti-Trump nonsense (even though, last I checked, he's no longer president), the term "toxic masculinity" used seriously, and general left-wing smugness and insanity.

If I wanted to soak up leftist propaganda from the mainstream media, I could get it pretty much anywhere. I cancelled my subscription, as it's not even worth 48 cents an issue.


title: A celebrity-worship rag with zero quality content...

text: Gone are the days when Gay Talese graced the pages of Esquire with actual journalism. Esquire is basically the men's equivalent of Cosmo--bland, dumb, childish, and so full of advertisements that the content is literally difficult to find and, to add insult to injury, disappoints upon discovery. There is also a left-wing, SJW bent to the magazine that has nothing to do with the modern man (unless you're a member of antifa).


title: Still a great magazine and it feels good to hold paper :)

text: Interesting and we also gave as a gift to 13 yr old grandson.  Still nothing like holding and reading a paper magazine :)


title: Subscriber since 1st issue. 4 to 1 star Update: Shonen Jump Alpha!

text:
Update: Shonen Jump is ending next year, and unless you want to subscribe to the online release of Shonen Jump Alpha, don't subscribe to this.

Update: Just realized my June issue is a June/July issue....great. I guess my beloved magazine is slowly dying. :(

I remember seeing the first issue of Shonen Jump on newstands in 2003 and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I was around 12 or 13 then, and I still love it as a 21-year old. It has always been a great value considering that the average volume of manga is around ten dollars or more.Also, I used to be a yugioh fan, and Shonen Jump provided me with a countless amount of awesome free promo cards.

 Having read every issue, I've seen Shonen Jump go through every phase. While I understand that the economy may cause Viz to have to make certain changes, they are still negative changes and I'll list them here:

First off, Shonen Jump had the magazine, and then they began publishing the manga that ran in their magazine in their Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line. Well, that is fine. The problem is, they began to remove series from their magazine in mid-story. It would say, Hikaru No Go is "graduating" to thier Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line, and lucky you, you can now read it faster! Hooray!!! I got to read it for free, now I have to go to the effort of hunting it down, then paying around a hundred dollars or so for the rest of the series.I get that certain series are more popular than other series, but it has happened many times, and the only series that have finished are Sandland(very short series) and Yu Yu Hakusho.Recently they were really pushing a manga called Ultimo, which is co-made  by Stan Lee. They treated it as their flagship exclusive manga, but once again removed.
That move definitely suprised even me after all the hype. Dragonball Z, Shaman King, Hikaru No Go,Gin Tama,Yugioh GX, Tegami Bachi, and Ultimo, are all victims of "graduation" I can think of off the top of my head.They also do speed-ups where they skip chunks of story to catch up with manga in Japan. Makes sense, so not that big of a deal there.Secondly,the magazine seems to have gotten a little thinner in the past year. Those are my only gripes with the actual magazine itself.

My main gripe with Shonen Jump is that recently they are clearly now trying to give a priority to newstand buyers over subscribers which is an unforgivable, greedy, and disgusting act. Shonen Jump has always advertised the subscription as "get it before newstands". As a subscriber, I always have. VERY early. That is until the most recent year. Now, while I'm waiting, I go to Wal-mart, FYE,and Waldenbooks, and have to stare at a brand new issue, that I as a subscriber have to wait for.

The customer service used to be good, but has definitely suffered. If I ever miss an issue, I never have a problem. What I dislike now is that the c.s. operator now tries to give the runaround by giving you corporate answers, and doesn't want to listen to your problem.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Shonen Jump. I just hate to see something I love degrade in quality little by little. Please don't forget your core subscribers Shonen Jump.

title: The best PC magazine

text: I have read them all, and for me, this is the best one.  I look so forward to it coming in the mail, that I end up reading it in one sitting when it finally arrives.  Then I spend the rest of the month rereading it & wishing that the next month's would get here sooner.  Great compaisons & reviews that are concise & to the point.  If I want more info, I can go to their website & get more in-depth.  And then there is the disk with programs to try.  Yes, I could download the files on my own, but the convenience of having the collection at my fingertips is very valuable to me.


title: Evenly Delightful.

text:
Shambhala Sun is too much fun to read. After all, the historical buddha (Siddartha Gautama) supposedly
said 'life is suffering,' in a quote I cannot really source (cite).

First the production quality is excellent. Not just this September 2013 issue, but even eight years ago
when I first started reading it.

There is the usual guilt trip about not meditating. Articles by Chodron and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
What more to say?


title: How the mighty have fallen

text: Back in the late 80s/early 90s, this mag used to rock, and I would read it religiously. I kind of lost interest in it once I got internet access in the mid-90s. However, they were recently doing some sort of promotion where they would send you like 12 issues for free, so I said what the heck. Once the issues started rolling in, I quickly realized that even for the price of free, this mag is hardly worth the paper it's printed on. The issues are like 1/4 the size that they used to be back in the magazine's glory days. And with the advent of the internet, it is a wonder how printed magazines like this stay afloat. By the time a new issue is released with a big preview, most of the info has been on the web for several weeks and is already old news. Plus, there are a million different sites/podcasts where you can read reviews, plus see videos of gameplay footage - something that magazines like this just can't/won't offer. Oh well.. I guess some people still need something to read while on the crapper. As for me, I wish there was a way I could stop this mag from showing up in my mailbox. Even for a price tag of nothing, it is a waste of my time.


title: Paper

text: An OK magazine.  Mostly great pictures.


title: Awesome magazine of the past

text: Love live The Official Playstation Magazine! I got this for an incredible deal for only 1 DOLLAR since amazon was having a major magazine subscription sale for hundreds of different magazines for $1 dollar! But this was also during the time when the magazine/print media was slowly dying which resulted in the death of the official playstation magazine as well as hundreds of other different magazine companies as well. I still have my old collection of these Playstation magazines because sometimes I just love to go back in time while sitting on the toilet and peacefully reading this epic video game magazine


title: This was a steal.

text: Groupon had a special for this - $6 for the year. I love this magazine, so that was a steal.


title: Good magazine

text:
MIT's Technology Review covers a respectable range of technological topics, ranging from, for example, computer security to the guts of an iPad to anti-aging drugs, all in one issue.  Also includes a neat section called "To Market," which highlights various tech products, which could be light bulbs, bomb detectors, solar charger, electric vehicles and robots.  Shows just how fascinating science can be.  A credit to science publishing.

I picked it up in the store and became a subscriber immediately thereafter.


title: In depth and original, yet dull

text:
"The Economist" is a scholarly news magazine with a focus on the economic side of things.  It streams in each week with many overlong articles.  You could dedicate an entire evening or two reading the magazine cover to cover, but you probably wouldn't want to.  Many of the articles aren't of general interest, but may be up the alley of a macroeconomist.  The publisher appears to long for a globalized free-market world.  A good magazine for some, perhaps, but not for many, I would say.

I would recommend "The Week" and "U.S. News and World Report" instead of "The Economist."


title: If you buy their book, the subscription is free.  If you bought it that way, you won't be ticked.

text: The title sums it up.  My two pet peeves are the incredible amount of advertisements in the mag.  Half of the mag is made up of advertisements with another 1/4 of the mag dedicated to more advertisement with side notes put in.  Only 1/4 of the mag is made up of actual articles and even those are "bleh".  For example, my buddy just picked up the mag and said, "is there something you wanna tell me?".  Why did he say that?  Because there were 4 articles on being gay or the wonderful rich feeling that comes with being gay.  Uhhhhh, ok.  I just wanted to know how to dress nice.  For example, Tom Ford writes that if your straight you must sleep with a member of the opposite sex at least once in your life and then proceeds to call you a dunderhead if you don't. Ok, fine, I get that, it's an opinion by a fashion designer. But then a couple pages later there's a huge article written by the mag itself about "the rise of the alpha-gay".  Jeesh....just give me tips on how to dress and leave the indoctrination for your spin-off magazine.  I say buy their book and get the subscription free, otherwise don't waste your money.

title: 12-16 weeks for delivery?

text: I have no idea where the other reviewers are buying this magazine, but I pay 10-12 per issue off the shelf at the local bookstore... the ONLY store that carries it where I live. The subscription start date is what's ridiculous. The whole point was to save me having to go buy it every month, and now I have to wait four months for it to start?

title: Very Helpful for the Amateur Photographer!

text:
I really appreciate this magazine.  I have been a subscriber to Pop Photo for many years and have always enjoyed the tips and tricks for both film and digital photography.

The September 2010 issue gets more into Photoshop, how to shoot children photography, and some great new lenses.  I can use the Waterfall How-To step by step article as I've always wanted to make those smooth-looking waterfalls.  Golden Gate Park is full of them!

Do try this magazine out.  The only bad point for me are the large number of advertisements get to be a bit much.

There is also an associated website where they archive their articles at popphoto (dot) com!


title: It's no Saveur

text: For several years I subscribed to Saveur—the gold standard of food journalism and photography. It took you around the world with shared eating and cooking experiences like no other publication. It was like 90% great food writing and 10% recipes and cooking. Well, the publisher killed the magazine last year and now all I get from Saveur is email ads for cooking gizmos. They also substituted F&W for the balance of my subscription. Now if you want recipes and lots of them, F&W will make you happy. But if you want great food journalism, not so much. I'm real mad that Saveur is dead and it's been replaced with this. I find it rather boring. I'll let the subscription run out, then I'm done.


title: Socialist rag

text: Overly focused on false reports on President and lack of real information on music. Key socialist rag.


title: never again

text: when i was a kid, i remembered that there were always great pictures in national geographic.  not so much anymore.  just a bunch of ads and the book seems smaller too.  and there are always pictures of dead animals or animals eating other animals or dead people in 3rd world countries.  SERIOUSLY?  at least put a warning on the front if you are gonna show dead animals or people.


title: For My Grandson

text: He really enjoys the fun stuff in this magazine!  He also likes getting his own mail!

text: Excellent Product and Service


title: A Quick Review of a Key Writing Tool

text: I call Writer's Digest a writing tool because for years many writers have relied upon the information given within the pages of this thin monthly magazine. As soon as I began writing I started buying this magazine and reading it with a highlighter close at hand. It provides information for all corners of the writing industry, whether it's from starting a story to selling an article to doing the taxes at the end of the year; everything here is geared toward making a writer's life just a bit easier (and for those of you who are attempting this as career, you know just how important something like this could be). To add to that, there are a lot of inspirational articles and sections that can give a young writer the push needed to get writing. So, to anyone interested in writing of any form (fiction or non-fiction) then this should be your first step into the field (followed by some education, of course). Writer's Digest to me is almost as important as my Word Processor or dictionary.


title: The Best Digest for Fantasy

text: With its cheap pricetag and thick size, Fantasy & Science Fiction is definately one of the best. It splits it pages into fantasy & science fiction stories and novellas with a few common columns between (book reviews and strange facts). If you write fantasy or science fiction, pick magazine up.


title: Magazine is fine

text:
I was a charter subscriber back when. But I'm much older now and do not find the tiny type easy to see, even with reader glasses. As a result it is a chore to read this (but not as hard as it is to read Wired!

Seems that if it looks ok on a computer screen to 20/30-something eye it is good to go. Well, that's not true. So I am complaining.

A lot of good it will do, I realize. Wish a digital version came with the print version subscription. THAT I can enjoy reading because I had increase the type size and reading a long article isn't as much of a chore.


title: I was disappointed

text: I guess I'm just too damn old to "grok" the whatever Wired seems to emit and I find it trivial. I will cancel.


title: just okay

text: so far I've received one issue, but it wasn't exactly the type of magazine I was looking for


title: I hope it gets better

text: I normally liked this magazine, but my first issue was just an big book of commercial backpacking items for sale, just a waste of magazine!


title: Love my Wired magazine

text: Love my Wired magazine! Price can't be beat! This is a lot of good information at a very reasonable price.


title: Great read

text: My husband loves this magazine


title: Informative and Educational

text:
Likes: The articles are perfect for the layperson who is a history buff but has not majored in history while attending college. The articles appear to be thoroughly researched and are certainly well written. The quality lives up to what you would expect from Nation Geographic.
Dislikes:
The magazines are shipped without any protection. They should at least have a protective plastic wrap. Mine have arrived with dirty covers and bent pages. This is not conducive for those of us who are saving them as a library for future reference.  When delivering the mail, the US Postal Service just folds them in half and shoves them in your mail box. Poor handling for a quality magazine.


title: Fantasic magazine for digital scifi/fantasy artists.

text:
I am a regular U.S. reader of other Future Publishing art titles, and was overjoyed to see the first title on the newsstand of this fantastic magazine.

ImagineFX explores the digital science fiction, fantasy and anime genres through letters, interviews, portfolio expositions and fantastic tutorials. All issues also include pull-out artwork by the featured artist, as well as a companion DVD featuring files for the tutorials, artwork and software. Within the magazines pages one will find a wide assortment of styles and artists, including everything from tutorials by noted conceptual artist Ryan Church to explorations of gothic art by several fantastic artists which all serve to expand your creativity and help you along your own creative path.

On the minus side, most of us U.S. readers will be put off by the per-issue pricetag. But for those living in the U.K. (lucky!) or those U.S. readers willing and able to part with the money, this magazine is not to be missed!

title: Subscription of Readers Digest

text: I’ve subscribed from Amazon for a year and have enjoyed reading Readers Digest.


title: Future subscription cancelled

text: I occasionally read this magazine at my barbershop and was going to buy a subscription through Amazon.  When I looked at it on Amazon, I noticed that there were some reviews with one star and comments about the magazine sending a special issue and arbitrarily counting it as two issues against peoples subscriptions.  I think this practice is terrible and understand that it is becoming more prevalent in the industry. Remember when a half gallon of ice cream was 2 quarts not 1.5 or a half gallon of orange juice was 64 oz. not 59 oz.  I understand the concept of inflation and the need to raise prices but ethical businesses do it up front publicly, not by sneakily under-weighing or short-changing and covering their butts in the fine print. I go out of my way to find ice cream that still comes in 2 quart containers and orange juice in 64 oz. bottles.  We constantly read stories in the news about greedy businesses ripping off people just because they think that they can get away with it. I can certainly understand why subscribers would be upset.  I will not subscribe to a magazine that does this and the next time I go for a haircut I will encourage my barber to complain to the magazine and to tell all his customers about this practice.

The Harvard Business Review is a very well written publication that has served me well over the last few years of graduate school.  I feel the subscription falls short because it does not offer any additional features such as reviewing past editions on-line or down loading the articles.  When I wrote to them, this was their (HBR) response:

  "We offer an online subscription to hbr.org which includes the following, but would cost an additional subscription price.

What comes with an HBR online subscription?

An online subscription to HBR includes online access to individual full-text HBR articles, but only individual HBR articles and HBR case studies. You may read the articles online but you cannot download the articles.
The subscription does not include access to HBS cases or cases from other academic institutions. Those can only be purchased individually.
HBR case studies differ from other case studies in that the HBR case studies are fictional.
An HBR  online subscription does not include access to the PDF reprints, just to the full-text online versions.
The PDF files are reprinted versions. All the past editions of the HBR until about 1960 are available as a part of the online subscription."

This tells me that everything for this publication is an additional charge.

Not quite sure, but I think I started getting MT when I was fifteen or sixteen; thus, it's been a staple in my life for close to 45 years.

Because of this long association, I can wholeheartedly recommend the magazine for its coverage of the auto industry: developments, innovations, prices, and its history.

The photos of cars from all angles give the reader a great "look" of what he or she may be interested in purchasing.

The magazine has quality editorial content that is both informative and thought-provoking.

MT is the premier auto magazine on the market.


title: Rather "superficial" if you ask me!

text:
"Shape" is a magazine that I receive as a "freebie" because of membership in a periodical service.  This is one that I forward to my sister and she doesn't even find it a compelling read.

Sharing some of the same components as its "brother" magazine "Men's Fitness," "Shape" is for the woman that desires to look like the waifs that adorn its monthly covers.

The feature articles and regular departments are rather routine and the information contained within can easily be found on the Internet or the local gym, without having to subscribe to the magazine.

When my sister finishes with the ones that she gets from me, she donates them to an area doctor's office.

That's about all they're good for, she claims.


title: It serves its purpose!

text:
For the guy that loves the outdoors and all the wonders that it provides, "Outside" is the magazine for him.  Filled with straightforward info on travel, workout and health tips, and those little gadgets that make outdoor activities easier to tackle, this publication hits the nail on the head.

I would've never discovered it if it hadn't been offered as a one of the perks for renewing my subscription with a magazine readers' service, and for that, I am grateful.


title: Science made entertaining and simple

text: As the earlier reviewers have stated, "Discover" is not a heavy hitter.  It presents the world of science and technology in such a way that the average reader does not need a degree in quantum physics or paleontology or forensics to understand the articles contained within its pages.<br />In fact, this reviewer has used the magazine in his seventh grade class and the kids love it.


title: A little too "yuppy" for the average guy...

text: But, Men's Journal is acceptable for the guy that dreams of a carefree, debt-free, toned-body existence.<br />Hey, we all can't be "Joe Millionaire".


title: Awesome!

text: Great mag! Numerous articles that will inspire you to get off of the couch. Good job Handyman! Very well written.


title: Amazing publication

text: Subscribed once again to get the latest tech and science info. Always very well written and concise. Very little advertising and amazing articles. Recommended buy.


title: Numerous updates

text: I purchased this for the price and the updated on current and upcoming stories. Very informative and accurate. I don't really use the guide as I set my dvr all the time. The articles and updates makes it worth it. Combined with Entertainment Weekly you'll be all set.


title: One of the few magazines that I actually have delivered to my home.

text: I have been receiving HGTV since the magazine started and I still look forward to each new issue.


title: book

text: love this magazine and my subscription is running out but right now can't renew it but hope to real soon.


I have subscribed to Rachel's magazine in the past, but was able to receive it in an electronic form that I do not see as a choice.  While I love magazines, and Everyday Rachel Ray, I do not love storing hard copies, and it is so easy to look through the electronic version and find what I want when I don't have to dig them out of a pile or storage.  Without the electronic option, I will not be purchasing this publication any more.


title: Real Motivator and Educator

text:
I've been reading Runner's World for about three years now.  It seems that whenever my motivation hits an all time low another magazine will end up in my mailbox.  After reading half of the magazine I am forced to put on my running shoes and hit the streets.
There are many educational benefits I receive from these magazines.  I enjoy their training tips to help me improve my running time.  I enjoy their list of races in the back of issue so I can plan what I want to run next in my geographic area.
Most importantly, I highly appreciate the safety tips that are included.  Running can be very hard on your body, as most of my cross country team learned in high school.  This should become standard reading for high school students.  I wish my coach had gone through an issue every month with us, highlighting how to run safely while diminishing run times.
If you run, get this magazine.  If you don't run but would like to, visit their educational web page to get an idea how to start and then subcribe to the magazine so, like me, you are reminded to get off your duff and hit the streets.


title: Handyman Delivered

text: My wife and I got Amazon gift certs from the parents for Christmas past.  Handyman was part of my spending.  It presents cogent articles on a number of home repair projects.  The layout is accessible and entertaining, yet informative.  It keeps you abreast with the latest in equipment offerings and reviews.  The instructions for projects are straightforward and easy to understand with great photos.  The professional tips splashes on many of the pages are great to put into practice.


title: Five Stars

text: Fun issue.


title: we all know its awesome

text: I love my POP SCI, who doesn't. My daughter loves reading it and looking at research topics for her school. It is simple science that is easy to read and you get it in the mail fast. and it is a cheap subscription.


title: good

text: good


title: I'm hoping future issues will prove me wrong

text: I'd read a few Hot Rod issues years ago and liked the direction they were headed (or so I thought). I ordered a subscription and got 2 issues at the same time. Unfortunately I didn't find a whole lot that interested me in either one. Very little if any articles aimed at the grassroots hot rodder. I hope to see more builds and articles of things the average guy can afford to do rather than mega-buck Riddler quality rides.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome magazine. Ordered expecting bi-monthly but have been receiving monthly!!!


title: Poor execution

text: Subscribed over three months ago and no magazine.


title: Real Forbes Subscribers will Want a Better Price

text: Forbes is outstanding.  You will be among the top professionals that read for information and possible investment choices.  Yes, they are Conservatives but how refreshing when compared to most media.  I keep renewing because in the past I have made money by taking suggestive investments.  They present investments and political slants in an interesting format.  RHF


title: Not what it used to be

text: What happened to this magazine! All the men are dressed like women. The articles are simple ridiculous. This magazine has gone downhill.


title: Don't bother.

text: I dislike that this is months late and can't get a refund.


title: Don't do it.

text:
Cannot recommend this deal. Ordered back around the holidays as a gift for family.  Looked like a great deal.
Expected delivery for first issue is end of March.  WTF?
Cannot stop it or get a refund. Had to give it 1 stars for the review, but really should be no star.


title: Rip off

text: Received two mags with a notice to renew subscription. Paid for a year. WTF


title: Good job.

text: Arrived sooner than I expected!  Good job.


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Helpful magazine

text: I read this magazine and enjoy it.  A lot of the projects they have in there I would never make, but they have a lot of other tips and tricks that really help out and make life easier.  A lot of ads also, but you get that with every magazine.  Especially from readers digest


title: good magazine

text: Got this for my mom, I don't read it but she likes it.


title: gift for mom

text: bought for my mom and she loves it


This is a great magazine if you are a watercolor artist.  I have subscribed for a few years now.

text: Great Book


title: Great Gift Item

text: Brought this magazine for my brother...the craftsman.


title: Great Magazine

text: I got this for my brother....he really likes the magazine.


title: Love this mag

text: I have been cooking dinner for my family since I was in high school (now almost 29). I have only been exposed to this magazine for about a year but I love it. I don't subscribe to magazines but after one look at this mag I was hooked and had to order it.


title: One of the best.

text: EW does a great job of covering all forms of the entertainment industry, from movies and TV to books and music, and at a much lower price than People.


title: Five Stars

text: finally


title: I purchased a 1 year subscription. Within 3 or ...

text: I purchased a 1 year subscription. Within 3 or 4 months National Geographic started sending me renewal notices. I received one today stating that they won't be able to send anymore issues unless I renew now. I have 6 months left on my subscription! I doubt they' won't honor the subscription, but they sure are trying to trick me into paying more money. Needless to say, I won't be renewing my subscription.


title: Only thing my husband will READ.

text: This Magazine is great for a man who likes to putts with things. My husband is very handy and loves are the projects, tips, and tricks that they have in them. He will sit down and read it from front to back the day it arrives in the mail. He doesn't read books, magazines, or anything else but this is one thing he loves to read.


title: Love this magazine!

text: We have been receiving this magazine for over a year now and we always look forward to it! So many great ideas and how tos!!


title: This is a great magazine, FULL of tips

text: This is a great magazine, FULL of tips, tricks and all sorts of information. Most are short and to the point items, which makes it an easy read.


title: guitar magic

text: I love this magazine and read every word printed in it.  I'm a regular reader of it, just don't screw up and miss an issue!!


title: Simply Outstanding

text:
"INTERSEC" is one magazine that is absolutely indispensable for a macro view of the worldwide security industry. The magazine covers the whole range of security issues including the terrorist threat, human trafficking, emergency planning, economic crime, security technology, security operations and management.

This is an enlightening magazine which is a valuable asset for those involved in security. It has well written feature articles, special reports, commentary, trends and news on security issues written by well informed journalism.

It is the most important magazine I read professionally on security issues. If you are involved in security anywhere in the world, this is one magazine you must read to know what is really going on.


title: Perhaps Africa's Best Business Magazine

text:
"African Business" is filled with real life issues of business success and failures on the African continent. It is very informative and enlightening and highlights aspects of doing business in Africa which other magazines from outside the continent ignore.

This is a first rate business publication with helpful and interesting topics for both the African business people and investors from outside the continent. Those people interested in business and investment in Africa will find the magazine very handy.

Among the issues covered by the magazine are business developments and trends, business opportunities, risks of doing business in Africa, financial news including African currencies, feature articles, African and international economic issues.


title: South African Airnews

text:
Airnews is a magazine that provides articles and news concerning developments and trends in the aviation industry in South Africa, although it claims to be a magazine for the whole African continent. For those stakeholders of the aviation industry in Southern Africa, this is a very interesting and enlightening magazine on developments in the industry. However, for those outside the region and particularly outside the African continent, the issues covered in the magazine may be of limited relevance and interest.

Having said the above, it is worth noting that South Africa accounts for a large proportion of all aviation activities in Africa, estimated to be up to 40 percent. Therefore, the developments in this African economic giant are of interest to many aviation professionals especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The coverage of the magazine is quite wide, including military and civil aircraft, training, airlines, corporate jets, commuter operations, helicopters, aircraft sales, aircraft maintenance, aircraft financing issues, regulatory developments and other news items.


title: Good Communicator

text:
This magazine provides business people, government officials and Africa-watchers with interesting and enlightening information and commentary on telecoms and broadcasting in Africa. It delivers telecoms and broadcast issues in both French and English, enabling it to reach business and telecoms operators, suppliers, consumers and other stakeholders throughout almost the whole African continent.

I particularly like reading the feature articles and special reports on developments in various countries on the continent, ranging from issues pertaining to privatisation and liberalisations of telecommunications to the latest developments on mobile services.

"Communications Africa" is an important magazine for stakeholders of the broadcasting and telecoms business who are kept up-to-date with developments and trends on the African continent.


title: Valuable Magazine

text:
"MRO Management" is a leading magazine serving the needs of the global airline MRO business. I have read quite a few issues of this magazine and I found them to be filled with real life issues pertaining to effectively managing an MRO business.

The magazine features articles, commentary, interviews, special reports, business profiles, market, MRO technology, issues pertaining to engine management, IT solutions for MRO business, warranty issues, among several others.

The MRO Management magazine is so far the most in-depth journal that I am aware of that is available on the market focusing on MRO business. It is an interesting blend of current developments and insightful analysis of prevailing and at times, not so apparent trends. If you are a stakeholder of the MRO business, then this magazine is required reading.


title: Helpful Magazine

text:
This is a good informative magazine on cars in South Africa. It is your ultimate guide to learning what you need to know about the latest development with respect to cars in South Africa.

Buying a car is a considerable investment for most people and one needs all the information one can lay their hands on to avoid making the wrong purchase. Car-South Africa is one such good source of valuable information and news including results of road tests, feature articles on cars and what is happening worldwide with respect to cars.

If you already have purchased a car, this magazine will provide useful insights and tips that can help you know your car better and ensure that you're able to better look after your investment.

If you love cars and you live in Southern Africa, then this is a recommended magazine for you.


title: Interesting and Insightful

text:
I enjoy reading New Scientist as it provides interesting and insightful information on scientific news and breakthroughs written by journalists who seem to know what they are doing. The magazine has a wide breadth of coverage which makes it possible for any scientist to find an area that is interesting and relevant to them.

This is a magazine with good, enlightening and well written articles on recent research that one can look forward to reading every week.

However, sometimes the magazine strays into irrelevant and arguably unscientific areas like politics which can offend some readers. Thankfully, this is not overdone and the reader should enjoy the various fascinating scientific articles that the magazine produces at a reasonable price.


title: Good Read

text:
"Time" is a fascinating magazine to read. It provides insightful and enlightening news most of the time. The magazine provides more balanced reporting than say Newsweek. I find its coverage of the wide range of issues it covers including politics, the arts, business and lifestyle, and many other areas to be interesting and enlightening.

So for those looking for a weekly that is largely educative on developments worldwide, then Time Magazine should do. To those already subscribing for the magazine, congratulations for making a good choice.


title: First Rate

text:
"Flight Journal" is a first rate aviation magazine which features well written articles on a wide range of aviation issues ranging from civil to military aircraft, aviation history and art, latest aircraft technology and vintage types, safety issues, among several other subjects. This makes the journal very appealing to a wide readership. Aviation enthusiasts will always look forward to the next issue of the journal as it is bound to come up with something new and enlightening, whether it is reports of restorations, some rare photographs or a feature on the latest jet fighter aircraft.

However, some readers with only specialised areas of interest in aviation may not find this journal appealing. Such readers could include those only interested in aircraft maintenance, or just regional airlines or airline fleet and network planning etc. For me, however, I love anything to do with aviation and thus this journal was produced for the likes of me.


title: Important Magazine for Airline People

text:
"Airline Business" is an indispensable part of my library since, as a senior airline executive, I need to keep up-to-date with developments worldwide. In the current highly competitive operating environment, it is critical that we have the right information timely so that we can anticipate trends and proactively make decisions to ensure the survival and prosperity of the airline business.

By reading this magazine regularly, I am able to learn what is happening in other parts of the world, alliances being formed and broken, the latest management techniques, effective cost management and reduction strategies, revenue management and industry performance, among other important information.

This is a recommended journal for airline executives who do not wish to be left behind in the current highly dynamic operating environment.


title: Maintenance Updates

text:
"Airline Maintenance World" is a magazine produced once in two months and provides important and insightful information on aircraft maintenance issues. It covers a wide range of maintenance related subjects such that the reader is bound to find something interesting related to their area of interest.

The reader benefits from news pertaining to airline maintenance, interviews and technical tips which might provide the reader with some solution to some maintenance challenges they may be facing. The magazine also provides information on the use of the latest information communication technology in the maintenance, repair and overhaul field.

This is a recommended magazine for those that work or are involved in the airline maintenance area as it keeps you updated on important developments worldwide.


title: Great value

text: Always love the Readers Digest!


title: One of the best mags for homesteading!

text: Lots of great info. for homesteading and living off of the grid.<br />Similar to Mother Earth News and a few others.


title: Five Stars

text: Nice magazine for the great low price!


title: Not as interesting as it used to be

text: Too many one sided views and articles. I like variety and different opinions. This used to be a great magazine, but not anymore. I will not renew my subscription once it runs out. Also, there isn't much to it....it's very thin. Overall dissapointed.


title: A great read

text: Love the stories and facts


title: My fav Magazine!

text: One of the best magazines ever for the alternative artist. Fantastic techniques & tips, article, plus outstanding photography of a wide variety of artists. I look forward to this magazine arriving in my mail box & enjoy the challenges plus inspiring ideas.

title: Love it!

title: Dirt Rag Magazine

text: A gift for our son who enjoys the magazine immensely.<br />Many thanks for offering on amazon.com.

title: Mountain Bike Action Magazine

text: This is a Christmas Gift for our son who enjoys mountain biking.  He believes the magazine provides great techno information regarding mountain biking.  Guess that's what counts.  Thanks for offering at Amazon.com.


title: Always something Great to try

text: I love the recipes and make at least one of two things from each issue--I save the issues and go back later--my issues are filled with tabs sticking up for recipes I want to try--keep up the good work


title: What Can Be Said?

text: Just as the title says.


title: Picture quality is very poor

text: I used to get this magazine for the breath taking photos, paper quality is do poor I Will not be renewing


title: This was a gift!

text: This was a gift


title: Haven't received yet

text: I ordered this on Sept 13.  Today is Oct 14.  Have not received the first issue yet.  I will submit a review after the first issue arrives


title: Liberal tripe

text: some parts are ok (gear testing and what not) but I couldn't read most articles because of the heavy political viewpoints. The writers are rabidly anti-gun, pro-abortion, and anti-capitalism which seems weird given the capitalist nature of their BUSINESS.<br />I thought it was a magazine for men but it seems to be for yuppies, progressives, and feminists.


title: Very enjoyable

text: This was a gift and the recipient loves it!!


title: Nice

text: Gift for hubby.  He loves it lots of good articles too


title: so at this time not sure how they liked

text: This was a gift for someone else, so at this time not sure how they liked it

text: I found this to be just okay. There was really nothing different than I could've found online or even on the Rachel Ray website. I personally like to see what others have to say about a recipe before I just make it. There's always tweaks to make them better and I find using an online recipe site is a lot better.


title: You will not get all 10 issues

text: I got maybe 7 issues even though this was for 10? Pretty poor subscription service.


title: YOU WILL NOT GET ALL YOUR ISSUES

text: I got maybe 3 issues, but I think only two? Then they stopped coming. Will never do again.


title: Great magazine.

text: This is a great magazine. It also has a lot of coupons. Basically your subscription will more than pay for itself if you are a coupon clipper. I don't know why people give bad reviews on magazines being delivered late when it clearly gives you a time line of when you should expect it to arrive. If you thought that time line was too long than you shouldn't have ordered it to begin with.


title: what happend?

text: Don't know what happened or who to call, going on 7 weeks and still no magazine.


title: Losing its "Southwest Art" focus

text: I'm a long-time subscriber to the magazine, but have joined many other readers in noticing its drift away from the genre of its own title. While "Art of the West" and "Western Art Collector" both maintain a strong focus on true western art, "Southwest Art" is becoming more generalized in its content, overlapping "Art in America" significantly. There are always a few pages of true southwestern art, but the vast majority of the magazine features cityscapes, floral still lifes, ballerinas and dancers, seascapes and boats, roads, etc. In fact, most of the glimpses of actual southwestern art (mountains, Indians, cowboys, buffalo/elk-style wildlife) are found not in the magazine's content, but in the advertisement images. I'm hanging on for another year, but if it doesn't remember its own focus I'll have to let it go and stick to the other two magazines by themselves.


title: Five Stars

text: liked it


title: Varied, in depth content.

text:
Approximate ship date for first issue was 2 to 3 months out, but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived just 1 month after placing order. After receiving this publication it was clear that the articles were written for individuals with an interest and a background in science. The articles aren't just a page with flashy pictures and a short write-up. All articles gave a brief synopsis of the technology and research behind the topics being discussed before diving into the details. I also subscribe to Popular Science, which pales in comparison to American Scientist. American Scientist gives readers realist applications for the topics covered and gives information sources after most articles.

My only wish is that American Scientist was published every month, instead of bimonthly. But you can't have everything.


title: Bought as a gift

text: I bought this as a gift for my brother, a budding outdoor photog, and he says he enjoys it. I have bought a renewal because he said he enjoyed it.


title: Love the magazine ... when it is actually delivered to me

text: I have probably missed two or three months of this magazine, and after switching to a digital subscription so I could, you know, actually get my magazine, it starts coming regularly ... sigh. At least they extended my subscription to make up for the lost issues. Good magazine. Don't complain it is mostly ads; I know 80% of all magazines are ads. It's how they make money.


title: I really do enjoy it

text: I don't have any time to read magazines anymore, but if I did, I would get this subscription again. It has a lot more than just beauty tips. There are real articles (not just about Taylor Swift and stuff nobody even cares about). I miss my subscription, but I know even for the cheap price, it would just go to waste.


title: great readable cooking magazine

text: A great readable cooking magazine with very nice illustrations. Have cooked many recipes from this magazine and NO advertisements. I also subscribe to Cook's Country.

text: Easy to read, relevant content and interesting topics. Readers digest has been in my life since I was a kid, and it is still timely in today's world.


title: As good as I remember it.

text: Glad to get this claim magazine.


title: Interesting short stories of interest!

text: Very nice, handy little magazine!  Slips into handbag easily for short trips!<br />Would recommend!


title: Whaaaaaaaaaa?

text: A free hat! Wow never did I think I would be a lucky recipient of a free hat! I've had to pay for all my hats, this is the first free hat I've ever gotten. Did I mention I got a free hat? Oh and the magazine is good as well.


title: Excellent, well-rounded magazine

text:
Shutterbug is an excellent magazine with good coverage on a wide variety of topics aimed at the average "prosumer". The magazine is jammed with more articles and reviews than most other popular magazines.

It doesn't cater to the artsy snob crowd, so if you're looking for photography that requires you to have a finicky ego, you're probably better off looking elsewheres.


title: Easy Access, But it takes forever to load

text: I like that I can access the magazine on my Kindle but it takes forever for the articles to load.  I wasn't very impressed.


title: This is an excellent magazine.

text: Always something unique and interesting.


title: Superb mag for gamers who care about older games

text:
I won't waste your time with pointless babble...

Retro Gamer is a truly remarkable piece of video game history. If you play games from yesteryear, then there is absolutely no reason you should
not have an ongoing subscription to this incredible mag.

Just the fact that it exists is a testament to the fact that you NEED this mag in your collection. It will undoubtedly become rare and valuable over the
years, as video game journalism is a hot commodity.

5 stars. Remarkable!


title: good mag....

text:
usually informative... but with mags on the decline, you should subscribe to get a piece of vg history before you have to pay mad money for back issues on ebay...

just subscribe and be done with it....


title: Could be better....

text:
not bad, but is very lazily done.... I liked it more in the old days when CREATIVITY was a part of the creation process...

still... a good collectible since video game journalism will not be in print forever because of the advent of the internet....

collect game mags while you can... they won't last forever... get a piece of vg history before it's too late....

nuff said....


title: Finally a magazine for real women

text:
I stopped buying and ordering magazines because it seemed all they ever told you were things to do for your "man".

Glamour actually has articles that make you think and make you laugh.

Great mag for those who want more out of life than how to please their partner.


title: Review on Runner's World

text: This magazine is very informative on how to prevent injuries, run faster and train for new types of races.


title: A really great read.

text: Love the great stories, wish there was more.


title: Save your Time & Money !!!

text: It started out a good size TT paper .It has went down in size and useless information


title: Mom said its "OK"

text: Ordered as a gift. Mom says the magazine just isn't like it used to be.


title: Not good if you want a fast easy meal

text:
The receipes are very difficult  The ingredients are things you normally don't have in your pantry
Their receipes call for too many things
Not a family receipe magazine.
It's not a eating well magazine.

title: interesting, too many advertisement thought..

text: interesting , too many advertisement thought.. did not renew


title: Chalk it up to a learning experience

text: Amazon has a great magazine subscription program, where, on selected products, they discount the first year very heavily.  This smart program gives you a chance to try new magazines with a very small investment.  I have discovered several magazines I really like - this was not one of them.  This was a waste of money.  I do not enjoy the magazine, and the publisher of Esquire has already tried (outside of Amazon) to scam me into renewing.  Epic fail - have already cancelled the auto renewal, but will continue to try new magazines as Amazon discounts them.


title: Too good a deal not to check it ou

text: Amazon has a great magazine subscription program, where, on selected products, they discount the first year very heavily.  This smart program gives you a chance to try new magazines with a very small investment.  Kudos !


title: Buy your magazines on Amazon

title: Very uneven

text:
I have several criticisms of the New Yorker:
1) Editorials--It's like reading Pravda. Tell me the title and I can tell you what will be written. In brief, EVERYTHING Bush--Evil terrible. EVERYTHING Obama--Great.
2) Snob articles--Who wants to read puff pieces about Nora Ephron and her buddies?
3) Seymour Hersch--He is accurate maybe 50% of the time. In many cases things he wrote were proven to be wrong and we never get a followup or correction.


title: interesting reading

text: Still a wonderful magazine, so much information that you can''t find in the main stream news.


title: Five Stars

text: I love, love, love this magazine.  I look forward to reading it.


title: Best Magazine ever

text: My brother asked me to pick it up for my husband and we have been giving subscriptions out ever since.  Even my hairdresser enjoyed it.  The only complaint is it comes out every other month and we are wish it was more often.  Worth the money.


title: Not Techy enough

text: I ordered this hoping to learn more about the latest gadgets, and I did learn some things but in over my head over all.  I do not enjoy this reading at all.


title: Four Stars

text: good magazine to order. very informative,


title: Beautiful styles and patterns

text: Wonderful fashions -  and the patterns are in the magazine!  I look forward to this every month.  It is the best treat I give myself every year.


title: Very Helpful Magazine but Beware of Unauthorized Charges!

text: I thoroughly enjoy the contents of "The Family Handyman." I assumed I would renew my subscription when it was time to in 2019 & was considering a 2017 Christmas gift subscription for a family member. Moreover, I was really excited when I received two hard copies; I thought my subscrip was only for my Kindle HD Fire, but then the hard copies cease to come, & I assumed it had been in error. Now, I see where $10.70 has been automatically deducted from my bank account on 10/16/17, FOR WHAT? The product I like; the UNauthorized auto-deduction I don't like! I saw no other place to write this complaint but here.


title: Gentlemans Quarterly is still the best

text: I was first exposed to GQ while in the Navy. I was stationed in Pearl Harbor, so fashion was very important. A shipmate always had the latest edition, and would discuss what to buy after next pay day.Anyway since then I enjoy the up to date fashion for mature intelligent gentlemen. Of course there are many other matters discussed in GQ for example food, music, women, shoes fragrances, etc.The main reason that I enjoy GQ is for the latest fashions that are in season. I hope that GQ keeps up the good work.


title: Fun read

text: Liked fun read not really what I wanted however enjoyed all the magazines..


title: CJR for all my journalism needs!

text: In a seemingly dying field, CJR reminds you that not all is lost. Excellent insight into who's left, what's new, and where the industry is going in the 21st century.


title: I Love Reader's Digest

text: Enjoy reading this magazine as it contains a variety of informational, inspiring & witty items.


title: Mental Floss "BEST" Informational Magazine (from Amazon.com)

text: I finally received my first issue of "Mental Floss" Magazine & literally read it outloud to my husand as we were driving in the car! I couldn't put it down! I learned about Understanding About Traffic Lights & how they correct the light display for people who are color blind, 10 Living Things Thriving in Death Valley (very interesting), 10 Things about Great Britain more interesting than Will & Kate (also very informative information you'd never think about, 10 Most Interesting Numbers in American Culture (anywhere from the number that defeated the Nazis to the number that gets us drunk), The 5-Second Rule can make you sick... a scientist showed that food actually follows a "zero-second rule", meaning bacteria such as salmonella transfer onto food instantly upon contact!), 10 Celebrities Who Spied on the Side (get this... "Julia Child" & "Harry Houdini" were just two!), 10 Secrets from the Wonderful World of Disney (from how to score a cocktail to where to scatter Grandma's ashes!) and 10 Perfectly Incredible Moments in the History of Editing (novels, movies, cartoons, tattoos... everything for you writers out there)! Did you know George W. Bush was #1 of the One Most Edited Wikipedia Pages... number of edits was...44,169? Then there's a quiz in the back of the magazine. Who recorded the top-selling album released in the U.S. in the 190s - Garth Brooks, Alanis Morissette, Santana or Shania Twain? I guess you'll have to go to [...] to find out if your answer is correct (pg. 71)!!! I'll give you a hint though... it's not who you might think it is! THIS MAGAZINE IS AWESOME!!! It gets 10 fingers & toes up for my rating!! This is a great reading material for all ages; I'm going to get my dad a subscription for Father's Day - he's 77.5 yrs. old & loves Jeopardy, so he's going to love this to help him answer those Jeopardy questions! Thank you "Mental Floss"; keep up the good job!


title: Amazing Magazine

text: I rarely read a magazine from cover to cover, but this one I did.  There is so much useful information in it.  I have been gluten free for several months, but I thought all the information in the magazine was beneficial.


title: Okay

text: Okay


title: birthday presen

text: my nephew loved the magazine. He loves reading about all the different animals and cultures. He is 10 yrs old. I would recommend this magazine to any adult who wants their child to have a well rounded education about animals and other cultures.


title: Way TOO MUCH "L Word"

text: Yes, like every other dyke in America I watch The L Word. But too much of the content of the magazine is about the show and it's actors: straight and lesbian. Give us a break, there are too many smart,strong,talented lesbians that would be of interest to focus on one TV series.


title: Not what I really wanted...

text: Trying to cancel..finding it imposdible!!!


title: Ehh, I thought there would be cooler interveiws and research of bands, behind the scenes stuff -not here.

text: So, to start off, they didnt ship me the magazine of the month I signed up, which was a bummer because my favorite band was on the cover. Second, they dont have much going on in the magazine,lots of adds, boring short articles, lots of gear adds. I felt like I would get a better deal picking up guitar centers free add. Wont be buying another subscription.


title: My kids love this magazine.

text: My 9-year-old daughter literally reads these from cover to cover within an hour after getting them in the mail. It's a great magazine for her age level and the articles are fascinating even for a quick read for adults!


title: Four Stars

text: Great magazine priced a lot lower than newstand


title: one of my favorites

text: I love this magazine and it works great on the kindle fire as well. I highly recommend it and the price is great too.


title: Husband enjoyed it.

text: I got this as a gift.


title: Great magazine!

text: The articles are great, helps you expand your imagination with technology. It has always been one of my favorite magazines.


title: A slick professional magazine for advanced photographers

text: A fairly thin magazine (approx 105 pages per issue) that is packed with information. Too many ads for my taste - but even the ads are informative (so not a complete waste of space). Bi-monthly. Recommended for advances photographers.


title: Five Stars

text: The magazine was delivered in a timely manner. It is exackly what I thought it would be.


title: Really like cats.

text: I really like cats and this magazine has wonderful stories, great health tips and ideas for pet toys. I get a good laugh out of the Stella collum. And every time I read the feature cats (there are to of them every issue), I almost always want them (I would have over a hundred cats, if I got them all). I currently live in an apt that doesn't allow pets, but I hope I will be able to move late 2023 or early 2024 into a place that allows pets.


title: Wife loves it

text: Got this setup as annual renewal for my wife.  She loves the magazine and looks forward to receiving them.


title: More ads then your magazine has room for

text:
I picked up this magazine, as I'm sure many people will, because of the current issue (May 2010) with the big words "FREE - 159 Things To Do This Summer" plastered all over the front. I thought, hey, great! What a great feature article, for everyone looking for a cheap way to get out and see their city. When I first picked it up, before I read any of the magazine, I was thinking it would be nice to subscribe.

No.

The subscription price is ridiculously low because of the millions of ads. You will not go one two pages without hitting an ad. The feature story was mediocre, and you can find their information on the magazine's website.

In short: Don't bother subscribing, any information that's worth getting is on their website.


title: Enjoy this magazine

text: I look forward to my Family Handyman magazines in the mail. Without fail I find at least one useful tip/tool/project in each issue.


title: Lots and lots of ads

text: This magazine contains mostly advertisements with a few articles. I won't renew subscription.

Long time reader of Nat Geo & enjoy every issue. Amazon has great price & convenience of reordering.


title: Great Magazine for the Average DIYer

text:
I can't even remember how many great, simple, or inexpensive tips and tricks this magazine has provided to me over the past few years. As an avid Do-It-Yourself type who literally grew up in a family hardware store, I have an education in the material this magazine covers and I still find it well worth my subscription fee each year.

Some issues are more valuable to me than others, but without fail each issue provides at least one quality idea or nugget of information that makes it worthwhile. Whether you are a novice, or a seasoned pro, you should find something of value in each edition of Family Handyman

title: Cheap material, confusing articles and ads

text: This magazine is mostly ads. The material is cheap. The articles are confusing. Places are not clearly identified, so I find myself searching for "where?" a lot. They cover stupid idea places -- vacay in Rwanda anyone?


title: Bought as a gift

text: Stepdad loves the magazine, so I get it for him every year. No complaints so far!


title: Magazine Isn't Bad But Doesn't Know Its Audience

text:
I love motorcycles. Always have. I currently have 4. I subscribe or have subscribed to every cycle magazine. I'm an AMA member. But I cancelled my sub once Cycle World switched to becoming Architectural Cycling Digest. I can't imagine any significant number of motorcyclist want this faux high brow moto-naval-gazing bullshirt.

For example: I was very interested in the Yamaha Nikken. And it was the cover story. But good luck finding out what it actually looks like since the design department seems more interested in winning design awards from their friends at Adobe than actually conveying visual information. All the pics of the Nikken were covered with a heavy red filter. At least Rider magazine had a story on the bike the same month and took actual unmolested photos of it so you could see what color it was.

And of course nothing says froo-froo design than making type as small as possible. Many of the captions in this version of Cycle World I can't read even with my glasses.  But the run amok designers at CW can do you one even better. In the article on the Yamaha GTS1000 they made them light gray instead of black. Apparently some people over 40 were still able to read some captions and they couldn't have that. Maybe lemon yellow next month.

I didn't care that it was expensive but between not being able to read portions of it at all, other parts seeming to be more interested in design for its own sake and the ever increasing amount of moto-naval-gazing I decided to cut my losses. I'm hoping enough others do as well so we can get the good old Cycle World back. You know the one that was about motorcycles first and had regular pictures of them, lots of them. In colors other than just red.


title: Five Stars

text: Good Stuff


title: Love This Magazine!

text: Interesting article, full of ideas and inspiration.  Love it!


title: Some interesting stories

text: I bought the subscription for my husband.  He reads it but, he did not want me to renew the subscription.


title: Excellent Resource

text: I have depended on Consumer Reports for buying many things.  From cars to appliances to tires to lawnmowers to TVs.  It has NEVER failed me!


title: Not like the old Digest

text: It is not the old Reader's Digest. It seems politically flavored & preachy, and reads like one writer does all the writing. I'm sorry to say the "Quotes" sections is horrible. The true stories are good and the humor at work, life and military are still funny.


title: Average

text: Ok to read, but predictable...if you love a magazine and cup of coffee in your hands, worth getting.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine! And awesome price!


title: Long time subscriber

text: Long time subscriber


title: Good Mag. Love the look!

text: Took forever to start the subcription but that is what it is. They always say 8 weeks and they mean it. Love the look and feel of this magazine. It is definitely quality. I see what folks are saying. It does seem to be going a little main stream. Not as technical as some would like it to be. But the do cover what's popular and what's old. It could be a great reference. It's a good read for reloaders.


title: Five Stars

text: ok


title: Love the Magazine... But price is out of wack

text:
I gave this Item 5 stars because the actual magazine is really awesome for Star Wars fans! I have had great luck with delivery and changing the address when I moved was no problem.

That being said, amazons current price is crazy expensive. I bought it when it was about $38, which was a good deal. If I renew through Insider instead of amazon its only Forty something dollars... not $68. That is just ridiculous. Go to Insider if you really like the magazine until the price is more reasonable!


title: and recipient liked it.

text: Gave as a gift, and recipient liked it.


I don’t have time to read it I would like to stop my subscription


title: This magazine covers many different kinds of guns. Since ...

text: This magazine covers many different kinds of guns. Since I'm only interested in certain kinds and uses, not all the articles are of interest to me. Of course, I knew this before I subscribed.  I've only received one issue so far too so my opinion is based on that.


title: Great magazine

text: First time I've gotten Cigar Aficianado. I've glanced at it at barber shops, etc. Really enjoying the magazine now that I get it at home - good articles and plenty of diversity in photos and topics covered.


title: No good

text: Not worth it at all. Almost all ads and very, very little actual home/architecture/design info or photos. Architectural Digest, though far from ideal, is way better. I was highly disappointed in Veranda from the very first issue and actually couldn't wait for my subscription to run out.


title: out of print

text: I just wanted to warn any potential subscriber, this magazine is ceasing publication.  They are substituting Creative Crochet.  A shame, it was a good one.


title: If you love wine, this magazine will make some excellent suggestions ...

text: If you love wine, this magazine will make some excellent suggestions will also provide you with some ratings so you know what year vintage of your favorite wine you should buy. They also include articles on the wine making process, the wine regions, wine pairings, restaurants and food.


title: Five Stars

text: It is great! I love the recipes that are included. I will renew my subscription.


title: Stop asking for renewals! I'm good till year 2021

text: I love the magazine birds and blooms. However I cannot stand the constant renewal reminders that they send me. My current subscription does not end until the year 2021. Ask me then


title: Laffin' to the oldies

text: I haven't bought or read a Mad Magazine in probably 35 years or more, but there was a recent article in AARP magazine on Mad and it revived old memories and piqued my curiosity. The AARP article said quite a few of the original writers and illustrators are still there from the 1960's and they're in their 80's and 90's now, but still enjoying their craft. It still has a familiar look, the humor is from current pop culture, so some of it doesn't make as much sense to me as it did in my heyday. But the self deprecating humor, the funnies, even Alfred himself are still fun to look at and read and just enjoy some stupid and adolescent laughs. Let's this 63 year old kind of giggle like a kid again. Thanks Mad!


title: The Car & Driver of Computer Magazines

text:
I have been a subscriber to PC magazine for over ten years and watched in dismay as slowly but surely the magazine has become painfully boring.  Max PC may not have the erudite vocabulary, it may not have the latest outlook or word-processing tips, but it has FUN.  The joy of doing something faster and better is back.  I read Max PC and it takes me back to the seventies when computing power hitherto available only to businesses started to leak down to the public.

Most of the other magazines have lost the hardware angle completely.  Max PC is for those who take pride in the hardware.  Forget the corporate drones who are forced to review the best mini-mouse for cramming work in coach class--instead, read about how to make a PC case shine like a Ferrari.  Learn how to overclock a processor with liquid cooling (who would have thought?).  It is simply fascinating and has taken me back to the days when new developments were fast and furious.  Worth every penny--heck, I may even get back into computer games.


title: Always Interesting

text:
I get lots of magazines.  Some are in decline, TIME & P.C. for example, but I have found others that have an uncanny ability to hold my attention.  WIRED is all about holding attention.  WIRED also manages to avoid the prurient and I hope it continues to go for readers with ideas rather than exercise the bottom-feeding tactics resorted to by competitors and which have made television news an utterly useless exercise.  There is no better magazine out there for staying current with the technological state of the art.

Magazines haven't changed--they have to offer something not available anywhere else in order to stay alive.  WIRED has managed to find a seemingly impossible niche as the commentator of choice on cutting-edge technological and societal trends--which, interestingly enough, are most often inextricably combined.  Some articles will be about technological advances, others scientific, some will be purely about the people behind the science--others about how the subject is changing society. It is a measure of the skill of the production team that WIRED has stayed ahead of the trends and manages to hit topical issues regularly and with unmatched depth.  The newsweeklies can't keep up--they are dinosaurs in comparison.

WIRED has good editors.  The articles that you hope will go long are usually long--longer than other magazines.  Short observations are just that, short.  Now, I thank all those reviewers who have identified the "north shore" scam, but overanxious marketing aside I look forward to each and every issue.  It is always interesting.


title: Did not expect something like that!

text: November issue came with some page torn. Did not expect something like that!


title: Highly recommended for powerlifting

text: great great great magazine. No random articles on things other than fitness. Awesome!


title: The best way to get the news

text: Humor Times is the best way to get the news.  You can keep up to date on current issues without needing an antidepressant.  I only wish they had a daily newspaper.


title: Still the best cutting edge hard science fiction and fact out there

text: Ignore the bad reviews.  They want to pretend that in the future, there are no gay people, people of color or issues of inequality.  Science fiction has projected current trends into the future since the 19th century.  If you want to have "hard" science fiction, you have to deal with the sociological and political trends that are likely to emerge in the future.  If you fail to do this you are limited to space opera military fantasy.  Social and political issues will continue too emerge in the future.  Would be dictators will continue to be a human curse and the threat or actuality of warfare will not stop at the edge of space.  On the other hand, if you are a climate change denialist then Analog is a very uncomfortable place to be as the science fact articles will lay out what we can really expect from high levels of temperature an carbon dioxide increase.  If you are uncomfortable with potential mass starvation or future warfare over scarce resources such as fresh water then you will find Analog uncomfortable.  If you  believe that homosexuality is immoral an that they should be imprisoned, a future that does not find this unusual will find you uncomfortable in Analog and most science fiction for that matter.  As a reader and reviewer of science fiction since the fifties, its a genre that should make you uncomfortable and stretch your perceptions of the world.  An old name for the genre is speculative fiction and that is what the best of it does, it makes you think.  So if your current beliefs are homophobic, in the slightest racist, jingoistic, anti-feminist or generally stuck in the 19th century or perhaps the 8th century, then Analog is not for you.  for the rest of us, while all the stories are never perfect, the gems within these covers are well worth the price of entry.


title: Metric and Harley cruisers side by side!

text:
Are you a cruiser owner that is sick of all the Harlier-Than-Thou magazines out there?  Let me tell you, if all you want is to see a magazine chock full of awesome V-Twin custom bikes and you don't care what part of the globe they are from or what badge was on the tank then you better slap yourself down for a subscription to V-Twin magazine.
While pouring through a recent issue of V-Twin I find numerous four page spreads on fantastic custom cruisers that include a Kawasaki Vulcan 800, a Yamaha Road Star and a Yamaha Royal Star plus pictures of reader's rides showing a Yamaha Road Star and a Suzuki Intruder.  Of course there are your typical custom Harley entrants including a fantastic Knucklehead and an INSANE custom from Eurocomponants!  There are also heaps of ads for vendors that cater to both the Metric and Harley owners which is nice to see.  And of course there are naturally write-ups on product reviews, wrenching advice, bike events, biking editorials and general bike news geared to the cruiser owner.
To me this is a great magazine that doesn't try to push the Harley world down my throat and I don't think I found a disparaging comment towards Metric bikes anywhere which was quite refreshing.  V-Twin isn't about bad ... `tudes, nor is it full of half naked women and profanity, it's all about custom cruisers and doesn't attempt to be anything its not.  Don't get me wrong, I love a picture of a half naked woman laid over a bike as much as the next guy, but at the end of the day we are here for the bikes, admit it.  For the record, I`m the owner of a 1999 Yamaha Road Star that I bought almost four years ago (my eighth bike), plus I am the owner of RoadStarMagazine.com, so you can see that metric cruisers and cruisers in general are a passion for me.


title: A REAL car magazine

text: Motor Trend may well be the last old school car magazine....and that is a GOOD thing!! Some of the mags today have become fluffed up coffee table books. Lots of pictures and wasted whit space. MT is still the one to read if you want informative and entertaining articles about the cars you are likely to buy or at least wish you could. Still, and I hope always, the best.


title: When everyone else fails, make your's better

text: Just received the new magazine and it has been taken up to a whole new, and better, level. Everything about the new Car and Driver is up scale. From the actual physical magazine to it's content it is by far the best car magazine on the market (although that number seems to be dropping daily). The content is interesting and diverse. The articles and photography are excellent. I would like to see less white space and larger print but that may be just me.


title: going, going, gone

text: I AM PISSED!! Not long after renewing my subscription to what is an outstanding automotive magazine I received notice that it is going to be discontinued. In it's place I am being offered a choice of "online" magazines and podcast. NONE of which I want. What a crock (you know the rest)!


title: Intellectual, Artistic, Esoteric

text:
This is a fascinating quarterly magazine.  I'm modestly well read, but am reduced to nil as I read the pieces in here, having to do my own research in the middle of articles to keep up with references.  The content is highly intellectual, thought-provoking, and always new, different and interesting.

Reading this magazine exposes me to facts, ideas and concepts that I would never encounter in my work or in my daily personal life, like how German "bergfilms" of the 1920s and 30s assisted in the rise of the Aryan/Nazi concepts of nation, individual, and destiny.  This month's issue has a fascinating history of Day-Glo colors and paints, as well as an extended meditation on the color maroon.  This is a quarterly injection of serious and deep intellectual/artistic inquiry and exploration, and while I have a very small (yet growing) platform from which to understand and appreciat this content, I find it engaging, informative and educational.  With every issue I get a little bit smarter, so I figure in another ten years or so I'll know what's going on.

Bottom line: this is not an artsy picture-book of art pieces and commentary/review of art and artworks.  It is a much deeper collection of sociological and historical explorations which take place in the context of, or slightly touching upon art.  It is deep and at times convoluted and difficult to follow, but unmistakably interesting and rewarding.


Great magazine! You can get to this stuff online, but it is much more fun kicked back having a cup of coffee and browsing the recipes.


title: Fake and phony!

text:
What is the National Enquirer, you ask?

It's a phony as hell newspaper that provides all the latest gossip about celebirties but they come up with fake stories half the time.

Avoid it like the plague.

text: Politically correct. Biased,  Unnecessarily so. It was a clothing magazine, now  a hack journal.. Long time subscriber, cancelled.

text: Great magazine n lots of fun


title: Great magazine bad service

text:
some of the best articles I've read in a long time.  I'm an engineer not a journalist so maybe I'm not the best judge but I think some of the best writing  available.
 The digital option is well formatted too.
 The product deserves 5 stars but Amazon shared my email address and I can not seem to stop  receiving spam emails from the New Yorker.  I recieve at least two per day.  Additionally my subscription was auto renewed without my knowledge at 5x the price I purchaced The original subscription.


title: If you're looking for access to the digital issues, don't do this.

text: At no time was I ever able to access the digital issues. I went to the extent of changing to digital only and still could not access. Multiple e-mails were answered with rote instructions that were already on the website which did not work. I received emails promising calls back to help me deal with this issue, not a single one was forthcoming.<br />I finally cancelled the subscription. The person I talked to about cancelling acted as though hearing that the digital issues were not accessible was nothing out of the norm and just processed the cancellation


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine full of cutting edge ideas and information.


title: Great information on Tech and the Internet

text:
I have subscribed to this magazine for over four years.  I like that this magazine is constantly fresh and doesn't seem to get stales.  There are always great articles about what is new and upcoming in techonology, new trends on the Internet.  Some magazines have a lot of filler and tend to be a vehicle for selling advertisements.

What makes Wired extra special is that they don't pander to products that they do advertising for.  Unlike other computer related magazines they write about trends, and outstanding products.  This leaves them more room for good reporting and less veiled advertising.  They often feature articles written by famous people in techonology.

I have operated a cooking website since 1995, so I am familar with the Internet, and how it works.  What I like about Wired magazine is that they constantly write about what's new and upcoming in trends for the online world, and they tend to be very on the mark with where the Internet is and where it is going.

If you are interested in techonology, and what is going on online this is the magazine for you.  Wired magazine is fresh, and is free of pandering to the products they help advertise.  I like that this magazine is high on content and low in advertisements.  Always fresh content about new products in techonology, trends in the high tech world, and a good insight on the Internet make this magazine an excellent choice.


title: You don't have to have a perfect body for this magazine

text:
At last a fitness magazine for real people.  I love how this magazine covers many different topics, and often does so in a very realistic way.  To me, magazines like Cosmo and Glamour really don't represent real life.  Nor do they have pictures of real women in the magazine.

I like this magazine for inspirational stories about women who got into shape.  Their health articles extend past the symptoms, and often have suggestions on prevention.  Their articles on nutrition are good, and once again realistic.  This magazine doesn't make you feel like you have to be a size 0, but rather small changes go make a difference.


title: It has recipes you can really use.

text:
This magazine is completely useful.  It is filled with good recipes you can put together any day of the week.  It features pictures with their recipes so you know what your dinner is susposed to look like.  It also lets you know suggestions and alternatives for what you can do with your left-overs.

This magazine has a well rounded assortment of recipes that are meatless, make ahead, and much more.  What I really like is there is also a nice cross section of side dish, salad, dessert recipes along with a couple of informational articles each week.  This is one of the few food magazines that really encourages you to use what you have on hand, and adapt recipes.  Ingredients aren't too exotic that you won't find them.  Instructions are clear and concise.

I would highly recommend this recipe magazine to anyone that wants to liven up their day to day cooking, or for someone looking for some new and fresh ideas in cooking.


title: Fascinating Articles

text: I have taken this magazine for about 2 years now, and personally, I enjoy it quite a bit. I am not a native of the New York area, nor have I any affiliations with the fine city. Personally I find the articles to be so well written in the New Yorker it is hard to put down. For me this means the first section of the paper is under appreciated, as its all about New York City, gossip and much more. The articles are of a wide varity of topics and often bring up points that may have had rolling around in your conscious but have never let them bubble up to the top. Fascinating articles can range from politics, famous lives of famous peoples, religious societies, and so much more.<br />This magazine is great if you are a reader. Articles are wordy, and worthwhile. This isn't something your going to be reading just the highlights through. I hardly find myself able to finish a magazine before the next one comes. If you are open minded, and love to read quality articles that will make you think, this magazine for you.


title: Good things come in small packages.

text: I have taken this magazine for almost three years. While I can not dispute the indepth study of each recipe in this magazine, I wish there was more content in each magazine. I respect that there is no advertising in this magazine, and they take their craft seriously. The back covers are extremely artistic, and of high quality. I have sometimes wished I could frame the back covers.  Articles in the magazine often cover a particular food product and which one with really is the best. Its kind of like Consumer Reports for cooking. I honestly dislike the price, and you can pick up all issues in their annual addition, which I now do. Some of the recipes that I have tried from Cooking Illustrated have been my favorites. If you like in depth coverage on any aspect of your cooking you will adore this magazine.
