title: The finest motorcycle magazine published!

text: If your interested in motorcycles, (Either thinking about getting one or have one) this is one of the best, if not the best, motorcycle magazines out there.  You may have noticed that most of the mags review the same bikes pretty much at the same time - what makes this one different is that there is no advertising - its supported solely by subscription.  So there is going to be less bias from them.  The review everything from sport bikes to scooters, including things that are not really motorcycles - such as the CanAm Spyders.  There are other features - articles on how to ride more safely, medical issues, and the like.  I have let lapse all my other subscriptions but will keep this one going.


title: Good Reads

text: I am happy they are starting to put more actual affordable items in the magazine to check out.


title: Nice to tesd

text: My 15 year old daughter wasn't interested in it.  I didn't renew this one since she barely read one or two the whole year.  She's a novel reader so it was probably just not her cup of tea.


title: If you like Spam ...

text: At first, it seemed like a great buy. Amazon shipped to my home address, but I wanted the option of sending it to a private mailbox. They sent my home and email address to Wired. I immediately asked to cancel the order. 5 minutes passed, no cancellation. Soon, I was getting "Welcome to Wired" in my email box. Not sure why Amazon did not cancel as requested.<br />I've now gotten 5 emails from various Wired accounts showing me how to download, what I need to know about Wired etc. Huh? All I wanted was a trial subscription, not junk mail! Not pleased that Amazon so readily shares our private data with outside venders. You should be cautious with these "special offers" because you will be added to yet another database for junk mail, postal offers to buy other services and magazines.


title: great

text: great buy, thanks


title: Great read-aloud magazine

text: Great magazine for reading aloud to the kids. I think its tailored to pre-K through 2nd grade, but toddlers will be fine with joining the read-along and pointing out things in the various pictures. Good number of pages and variety of stories in each issue make it a pickup for multiple sessions per issue. Cover and pages are solid enough to resist immediate destruction.


title: Good strong pages

text: These books have good strong pages that hold up to a toddler's way of handling things. Content is good and is aimed at older babies and younger toddlers. Books last through repeated sessions and still in good enough shape for the bookshelf.


title: A rag since taken over by Bloomberg

text: As a long time subscriber (ovr 20 years), I used to enjoy and look forward to each issue. However, since the Bloomberg takeover it is short on busines and long on Bloomberg's left wing agenda. I have tried to stop my subscription but it keeps coming. At least I no longer pay for it as it is a total waster of money.

title: This is a poorly run business with no digital access

text: The billing and internet aspects of this are very poorly done and confusing.  If your buy the print subscription, you do NOT get access to the digital archive.


title: No the same as it used to be

text: I used to subscribe to this magazine a few years ago and it was completely different.  It had a totally different aesthetic to it. It's too couture and boring. Pretty bad in my opinion.


title: Great MAGAZINE

text:
I've been a suscriber of this magazine for about 15 years and find it the most well rounded writings of the motorcycle offerings in the US.
If you are looking for a broad interest in motorcycle coverage this is it. For the price to content ratio this magazine remains a constant in my readings. I currently read about 4 brands a month and Cycle World is the first one I pick up.
 Good Reading!!


title: Great magazine as usual.

text: Arrived early! Was hoping it would so I would have the inauguration cover. Can never go wrong with reading Time magazine.


title: Title deceiving

text: Not exactly what I anticipated it to be being on weight watchers I was thinking it was more weight conscious recipes and it is not.


title: Concise and interesting features

text: Slick magazine with historical info I find interesting when I would not have thought to forage into. I am not a history buff but I find myself drawn into the stories and am glad I subscribed.


title: Too much advertising

text: This magazine is about 80% advertising with very little actual articles. Very disappointed


title: Great buy!

text:
Watches are a great item for the price!!  Gifting the watches!

Enjoying the magazine!


title: Great fir foodies and contemporary lifeatyle

text: Live this magazine. Contemporary recipes and creative decorating, craft and lifestyle features. The recipes are always well tested and so come out well.


title: Five Stars

text: Great price, fun recipes to try, enjoy the variety of content.


title: Would have been nice to actually receive it.

text: Terrible customer service from seller, publisher, and Grow Magazine. Bought a subscription in April and never got a single magazine. Wasted so much time emailing and chatting with Amazon, the publisher, and Grow themselves. Would not recommend.


title: Good value, or it used to be

text: At 5 USD per year, and with a free trial, you won't miss much. I got the print version 12 years ago and it was a stellar magazine. Nowadays, most reviews seem to beg to differ. I say go ahead and try it. As for me, I stay informed about the Tech industry through Google and Youtube anymore.


title: Dont subscribe!

text:
I ordered this magazine from Amazon and this is the first time I am disappointed for a purchase from Amazon. The magazine was delivered to me for a couple of months and then it just stopped! For the couple of months it was delivered, it was delivered late. And they take 6 weeks to process your subscription! Thats crazy...

I would not blame Amazon though for this, its the company Hearst delivering this.. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know.


title: You are neither too advanced - or too much a newbie - for this mag.

text: I subscribed to this for years. Took a year off. Found I missed it a lot and re-subscribed. If you're a landscape photographer, there simply is no other mag. Good articles. Tailored for beginners and more advanced photographers. I've been shooting for 40+ years and still get inspiration seeing what others are doing.


title: Geared toward portrait and wedding photographers.

text: Perhaps they know their audience very well. But their articles seem to overwhelmingly favor portrait and wedding photographers. Articles are OK. But I don't do portraits. I'm a landscape photographer and they have nada for me. Makes me feel better, I guess, to get a "professional photographer" magazine, but I won't be renewing.

text: Happy to purchase the 1 year subscription for such a great price! Looking forward to my reading nook with my favorite magazine! Reading it online just doesn't have the same feel as a hard copy :)

title: A nice magazine!

text: I enjoyed this magazine subscription!


title: Are you an educated and fabbulous black woman?

text: If you are a fabulous and educated black woman then you better be a subcriber to this magazine.  Always with the great make up and hair dos, right along side the current events, book reviews, and articles.  Keep up the good work Essence.


title: Great Magazine!

text: Excellent articles, good ideas, fun facts and many good recipes. I read it cover to cover.

title: Definitely subscribe if you own a Mac!

text: I have been subscribed for little over a year now (no discs on my magazines though - they must have phased this out). I look forward to the day my Mac Addict arrives as it is always full of great tips to make life easier. A must have for anyone who owns a Mac, this magazine contains useful tips, troubleshooting, guides to free downloads, and loads of tech support. I especially love the Q&A section, and find that this part is the most useful to my day to day computing needs. I have just renewed my subscription for another year!


title: Awesome magazine!

text:
I have been subscribing to Wired for little over a year now, and continue to be impressed by the wide range of interesting articles within the magazine.

The latest issue I received yesterday contained a CD with 12 new songs from artists such as the Beastie Boys, produced under a radical new copyright licence. Wired is fighting for free music, and the right to copy and share, and created a licence which allows Wired subscribers the right to share and copy the CD enclosed. The CD alone is worth the cost of a years subscription ~ so an awesome bonus!

Every issue holds something new - I love the way Wired is so far ahead on the technology front - reading the magazine ensures I am kept well up to date on all the latest electronic releases. Wired helps to keep me on top of the information and technology out there that is available to me - and the improvements being made to perform tasks such as surgical operations, immigration etc...

On the smaller front, Wired contains reviews on new and upcoming computer games, and also provides articles and information on historical gaming such as space invaders.

Overall, Wired is an educational, interesting, worthwhile read - I definitely recommend this magazine to anyone interesting in technology and how it is shaping our future.

text: This is probably the worst magazine ever, do not waste your money.


title: Entertainment weekly is always a welcome addition

text: I try to weekly program my Tivo to all the different weekly shows I would have probably missed if I didn't have the reminder in the form of Entertainment Weekly. I enjoy the reviews and it's good<br />to have all the variety of Music, TV  & Movies.


title: Great magazine for everything "Bee" related

text: One of the best bee magazines I've read. Has new and interesting articles in each issue - not the same topics over and over. Great tips for season maintenance and wonderful "How to" advice. Any bee enthusiast will love this American Bee Journal.


title: Just ok. Most of the magazine is advertisement- more adverts than actual content.

text: Pictures are pretty and some nice ideas but projects aren't really useful or worth it to do. Wouldn't get this again.


title: Great magazine, Great subsciption service

text: I got this magazine for my wife and I'm glad I did.  She's already used several recipes and enjoys the articles.  My wife is an awesome cook anyway, but the new ideas and good recipes are helping to make dinner even better.  I also really like the new subscription service through Amazon.  It's really convenient to be able to check on subscriptions to see how much time is left or to add more time.

The magazine itself is wonderful. However, the delivery is way off. I thought I'd be receiving one magazine a month, but instead I get two or three on a random cycle. If this was fixed, I would have a five star review for sure!

title: Rock Me, Baby!

text:
I am like a kid at Christmas when my "Rock & Gem" mag comes in the mail.  I read it cover to cover, and find the content absolutely fascinating!! The magazine covers every aspect of rock hounding, working with crytals/gems/minerals. There are always several minerals I have never heard of before, and this magazine does a wonderful job of educating its readers.  And I LOVE the fact that there is a kids' section! I fell in love with rocks when my Dad came home from a trip to the Badlands of S.D. with several minerals, and a big amethyst crystal.  If we take the time to provide opportunities like that to our children, it can open up an entirely new world....a fascinating one to them.

Thank you so much!


title: Great Mags For Kids

text: These are great kids mags. I just wish they were more affordable. As a special needs teacher I can’t afford subscription except when running a really great special.


title: Love this magazine! Takes me back to England.

text: I've been to England three times, and I am just longing to return. If I could afford to move there, I would. Fortunately for me, England comes right to my doorstep via this fantastic magazine. It has heavy, glossy full color pages, great articles on both the tourist attractions as well as more offbeat places to visit, and always follows up with resources for visitors seeking more information.

title: Unreadable

text: I used to ready PopSci years ago, and don't know why I let my subscription lapse.  After getting a new subscription, I think I remember why.  The latest issue (Nov 2018) is unreadable.  "The Most Dangerous Magazine in the World" is like an MTV Pop Up video.  Some of us still have attention spans that last longer than 30 seconds, but this magazine doesn't acknowledge that.  It was like a print version of strobe lights.  I won't be renewing.  Ever.


title: Wonderful Magazine.

text: Excellent articles and suggestions for both large and small scale ideas.


title: Ladies HOme Journal subscription

text: My Mother is 90 years old(young)and likes to stay in tune with the world.  The Ladies Home Journal 1-year subscription is such a perfect gift for her from Santa.  This magazine has been a staple in my house all my life and I know my Mother loves it.  I got mine at Amazon at a great price and am so excited for her to get this every month.  (Ladies Home Journal 1-yr.subscription)


title: Reader's Digest large print

text: My MOther is 90 years old (young);  she loves reading Reader's Digest cover to cover in the large print.  this is one of her Christmas presets every year because I know it brings joy to her all year long...and if it brings her joy I love it!!  I got mine through Amazon for a great price.  A perfect gift for those who like to read and like a larger print.  (Reader's digest large print (1-year subscription)


title: It’s such a mixed bag - but way too bias to be trusted

text:
One article might be informative and the next 5 with be full of liberal agenda driven absurdities.

For example, I quote: “The president laughed off the virus and the Democrats’ response to it, calling it their “new hoax,” which immediately polarized the citizenry’s response to precautionary public-health information.”

Well that is just a bare-faced lie. A “fake news” story that had been debunked, and yet they were repeating it with an updated spin.

The fact is Democrats were not concerned about the virus at all. They were obsessed with an impotent impeachment game when Trump said no more travel from China, they’re having an epidemic there. Democrats ATTACKED him (because it’s all they do - ad nauseam) for having a hysterical overreaction and being xenophobic! It was their absurd spin as they tried to politicize the virus - Trump was doing too much/he wasn’t doing enough - that he was referring to as their “new hoax.” Clearly meaning the new thing they were trying to bludgeon him with.

If anyone’s been paying attention with half a brain cell, or has a modicum of honesty, they could see clearly that the WH has been taking it seriously from the get-go, while not trying to panic people. They’ve been having briefings with experts daily for weeks! If people aren’t taking it seriously it’s because they’ve got their heads up their asses! (Pardon me, but come on!🤨)

 “The Atlantic” is apparently joining the media mob sensationalizing and politicizing this crisis with the virus.  With erroneous panic inducing click bait meant to drive traffic to their stations, websites, and advertisers. Guess who’s going to be making a profit from all the havoc they’ve created?


title: I'm so sad to see SL deteriorating...

text: I still subscribe... Mostly because of the recipes, but I could probably just buy the annual collection in book form and skip the magazine, if the current trend continues. The paper is thinner, there are fewer pages and the "southern" design ideas have been getting downright UGLY. Seriously. I used to pour over the magazine like a design bible, but for quite awhile now I've found myself recoiling in horror at the "ideas" they've come up with. This past year has been the worst. They have left their roots. I cancelled my one other magazine subscription to Better Homes and Gardens last year because their design style had gotten way too modern and cheap looking. I never thought my beloved Southern Living would go in that direction, but it has. After reading for more than 20 years, I probably won't renew.


title: Only targets executives

text: This magazine doesn't have anything useful for the majority of working mothers. Whether you're working for minimum wage, or you're in a professional field, it doesn't matter, this magazine is not aimed at you. If you're not the CEO of Kraft Foods, I wouldn't recommend this magazine to you.


title: Four Stars

text: I've only gotten one issue but i liked that one.


title: NICE!

text: LOVE IT!


title: You won't get it, save your money!

text: I love this magazine. In an entire year I only received one issue. I have no trouble receiving my other publications timely. What gives? Would like to be refunded!!!


title: Great offer of much loved magazine.

text: I don't miss out on my favorites.


title: Too many ads, not enough content

text:
There are way too many ads compared to the amount of content in this magazine. I fully expect every other page of a magazine to be an ad, but in this magazine, you have maybe half a page of content for every three pages of ads (and that may actually overestimate the amount of content).

I have been somewhat pleased with a few of the technique-related articles, but that is generally one short article each month. The rest of it, I could do well enough without. I will not be renewing my subscription.


title: Four Stars

text: A little disappointed in the quality of the projects. It could be so much better.


title: Five Stars

text: not worth money


title: They do not wrap the magazine in plastic

text: The two stars is not for the content. It is the fact that the magazines are not rain protected. I do not like soggy magazines.


title: Magazine

text: I love t.v. guide. It’s a good magazine. Thanks


title: Lots of receipts

text: On the fence out of a dozen recipes per issue only really enjoying two out of each. Will see if it gets any better when time to renew.


title: Only magazine I get

text: I like these because they're practical and have good recipes


title: Good mag for cat lovers

text: This was last years Christmas gift to my daughter who has three cats.  I renewed the subscription this year because she had so many good things to say about it.


title: Highly recommended!

text: Rec'd 1st Edition, highly recommended!


title: Handy Tool For The "Do It Yourselfer"

text: I love this magazine.  It has so many helpful tips and tricks packed into each edition.  I used to dog ear important articles for later review and usage.  I typically had so many pages with the tips bent over, I decided to stop doing so.  From tips on how to keep painting tools clean, to how to remodel a bathroom over a weekend, this is a great tool to keep in your handyman toolbox no matter your skill level.  I highly recommend this subscription for any household.


title: Only Have One

text: We received the first issue of our subscription and after paging through it we threw it in the trash. Absolutely nothing in it sparked the imagination or even looked like much more than shabby craft work.  And I don't mean shabby as in chic. May end up cancelling if the second isn't any better. Honestly, there wasn't one thing in there I haven't already seen on the internet. Why pay for what can be had for free?


title: A Nice Change!

text: I love this magazine. It is the first, and only at this point, diabetic periodical I've found that is useful to me. The recipes aren't filled with trendy/fad ingredients that are pricey (and sometimes hard to find in my suburban grocery stores). Just good sense, good food and good advice. Even the nondiabetics in the house have found recipes they ask me to make for them as well. And yes, there are lots of ads. Show me a magazine that doesn't have to be filled with them these days - it's how they survive in the internet age.


title: Not too exciting. Very few issues received.

title: barely any info

title: Maximum PC - Minimum BS

text:
I started buying this in Sept of '03 because of the short blurb on the cover (of every issue) "Maximum PC - Minimum BS".

I have never seen that proved wrong.  Every issue is crammed full of articles that bring maximum PC goodness right to your mailbox.

There are articles about building and modifying your own PC, reviews of PC's and PC components, a "Watchdog" column that keeps readers abreast of problems in the industry (and attempts to find solutions for readers, too - a nice touch), a head-to-head article that compares one similar product to another, an "Ask the Doctor" column that provides answers to both simple and very complex computer questions, and many others.

My favorite is the how-to's in just about every issue.  All of the how-to's show even neophytes how to get down and get dirty with mods (modifications) to their machine.  But, the articles take neither a "write down to the lowest level" nor a "technogeek know-it-all" approach - they tell you what to do and how to do it simply, and reveal many "secrets" you won't read in mainstream computer magazines.

And the reviews.  I love the "Kick-A**" award - you know that product is good.  And when a product doesn't meet their standards they simply come right out and tell you it sucks - saving people lots of money in the bargain, I suspect.

This product is managed by the same people who do "PC Gamer" and it shows.  Many games =require= the latest and greatest machines in order to run well.  And the few game reviews shows that they know games just as well as they know computers.

Their writing style isn't for everyone, but I really enjoy the almost in-your-face attitude that they project.  This is the kind of person I want standing behind me when I make expensive modifications to my computer system - keeping me from making mistakes before I start to turn a single screw.

Recommended to anyone who has ever thought of opening the cover of their computer and doing thier own upgrades and modifications.  Highly recommended to any person who builds and modifies computers - especially highly recommended to any people who do this for computers that are virtually dedicated to gaming.  Well worth reading and keeping.


title: Disappointed. I need my refund

text: It was due to delivery on December...it is February now.....i havent seen one issues yet.


title: Great Resource for DIY'ers

text: I have enjoyed this magazine for years and every issue is filled with some time and money saving hints. I often take photos of the best hints and keep on my personal web as a reminder instead of going through all the past issues. This is the least expensive source of this magazine - period. PS - there is a yearly bound publication I would recommend for your library for extra $.


title: popular science

text: subscribed but hardly get a chance to read them. when i do they are interesting and i would recommend them


title: cool magazine


title: Couldn't Be Happier

text: My wife loves the magazine and patterns. It's become her de-facto b-day present and she couldn't be happier every time a new issue arrives.


title: Know who you are and choose accordingly.

text: Everything in the current one-star reviews is accurate from a fundamentalist worldview. That is why I and many others subscribe and appreciate this publication.


title: Informative with a Disclaimer

text: The magazine does a good job of covering issues and offering information about Philadelphia. But it is obviously written for upper middle-class suburban women. If you don't fall in that category, many of their articles will not appeal to you.


title: My "Desert Island" Magazine

text:
I've been a subscriber to this magazine (and a previous incarnation, Stereo Review) since the early 1990s. It is always enjoyable to read, even after morphing into the audio/video magazine it is today. Print media and magazines are struggling, and to be honest I feel this magazine is a bit "thinner on content and focus" than it has been in the past. Still, this is the one magazine to which I will keep subscribing, even if I cancel the others. The product reviews are a good way to stay informed about new technologies. Interviews with musicians, sound engineers and industry experts are fascinating. There are also occasional features on fancy home theater rooms. My only complaint is I wish the "content" review portion would get more opinionated. Movie reviews describe the image and sound, but in the past they used to also rate the quality of the movie itself. One of the funniest, snarkiest album review quotes I ever read came from this magazine. Can't remember it exactly, but it went something like this:

"Barry Gibb's new album was so over produced and tailored to a known audience that one wonders if it was not produced by the artist himself but by a computer at the Harvard business school."

Unfortunately, you won't find reviews like that anymore! The most recent issue (June 2018) mentions the magazine has changed ownership to a parent company in the UK. It will be interesting to see if that changes anything. If they change trajectory, I hope they introduce a little more risk and opinion.


title: A monthly treat

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

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

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


title: OK Magazine

text: I got this for my wife who is addicted to HGTV.  For some reason the magazines didn't do it for her.  I took a look, and they are nice, but nothing we thought was outstanding.  Other people may like them more???  For the price you might want to give them a try if you like HGTV.


title: Love this magazine.

text: Love this magazine.  Easy read, interesting and wide ranging articles.  A peek into 5 years into the future.  A good place to read about cutting edge and just-on-the-market not-yet-widely-available technologies.


title: Out of date issues

text:
Popular Science, one of many that does this. After about 2-3 weeks after you order it, you will receive 3 different copies of Popular Science. One that is current (selling in book stores) and the 2 month before that one.

Let's say your first copy comes May 25, you will get July, June, and May. Most all magazines ship new ones 45 days before the month comes.

So your 12 issue order is only 10. Ok if you don't like old news and don't mind getting ripped off.

If you call them, they might change the exp. date. They did for me.

Over all I like Popular Science.


title: Global Warming alarmists unite!! Pilots look elsewhere...

text: If you are a global warming alarmist and a big fan of Al Gore, then this Bonnier publication is for you.  Everything in Bonnier magazines it seems is colored by the lens of Al Gore and the AGW crowd. If you are a pilot or prospective pilot, or you're just a fan of aviation, you can do much better than this magazine.  If however you love one sided indoctrinations into the AGW movement, then by all means go for it.


title: Used to be good, now they are just left wing hacks

text: This used to be a useful magazine.  Now they merely carry water for the Global Warming alarmists.  Their July 2012 article titled 'the Battle' is a perfect example of this new endeavor. It is the worst piece of journalism I have ever read.  This is not science, it is political hackery.  There is no circumstance where you should waste your money on this, unless you march in lockstep with Al Gore.


title: It's Mad. Nothing else

text: I used to love reading these as a kid when I would sneak off and read an issue at the grocery store. I got myself a subscription now that I am older, and still love the antics.


title: Better than Nylon

text: Bust focuses on better content than better ads. They choose to feature music that is not so indie it's not accessible or hype generated to be an ad content posing as an article. This mag is also modestly priced.


title: 0/0 Don't do it to yourself!

text: I can't post what I want so all I will say is, Stay away from amazon magazines. It is a third (if not a forth) party purchase. I went direct after this blunder!


title: up to date fashion and fun

text: Been reading this magazine for years and love to get the latest fashion trends.  I love the layout of interesting articles and fashions.


title: Five Stars

text: One of the premier publications for the sport.


title: Five Stars

text: Interesting articles and product reviews.


title: Phily mag.

text: The low, low price of the subscription enticed me to order. My first issue arrive and I found it enjoyable. Being a Philadelphia suburbanite, there are articles of interest and give me better insight into what the city has to offer if I dare to enter.


title: For the 18-35 year old set

text: I've subscribed to this for several years, and I'm letting it drop.  It's definitely, or "def" in the magazine's language for 18 to maybe 40-year-old females.  It's heavy on celebrities and using abbreviated words such as "sess" for session and "inspo" for inspiration, etc.  Ugh.  Plus, there is HUGE product placement in the articles, and you'll see the same item in an ad in the same magazine.  There's a lot of information on clothing, makeup and hair.  Ugh. I get it - they call it "Women's Health" to encompass all of health, but with  fit looking people on the cover, I'm expecting it to be more about physical health.  Oh, well.  I'm not their target demographic.  I've kept the subscription because I can usually get something out of each issue.  It reminds me of SELF magazine, which recently stopped publishing. It's like Glamour with a heavier does of physical fitness added.  It's a Rodale publication, so Rodale books and DVDs are heavily promoted in each issue.


title: Fancy version of Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal, etc.

text: I used to like "Real Simple," but over time, it's become another Good Housekeeping and the like, but much more expensive, due to its arty layouts, thicker paper, etc.  It's definitely geared toward women who are married, who have children, and who have a high income.  It's pretty to look out, but it's certainly not useful for me. I am not subscribing any more.  I get more use out of "Oprah" than I do "Real Simple."


title: Ok . Listings not as detailed

text: I grew up with a tv guide in our home, sure miss the  smaller thicker version from years ago I find with the new thin bi weekly tv guide , too many listings are focused on antenna and cable channels not much  for new age streamers (cord cutters) Improvements  could be made


title: Good and consistent

text: As a "mechanic" I've always thought this magazine veered too far off topic but for the special price it's a good quick read.


title: A good read but their opinions are not gospel

text: As in the past they do seem biased against certain brands. A historical look at Car of the Year shows that sometimes they have made horrible picks.


title: Large print helps Mom. She loves it!

text: Mom loves it!


title: Love love love!!!!

text: Love love love!!!!


title: Good magazine.

text: It is what I was expecting. Good magazine.


title: Nice recipes in each issue

text: Has tons of info in each issue.


title: Good deal 1 year subscription

text: Well, son will love it.


title: For car people

text: Informative articles written expertly. And occasionally Peter Egan articles appear!


title: Fantastic Magazine

text:
I have been subscribing to this magazine since it was first published.  It has a wide variety of foods and each month I find several new recipes that I like.  In the first part of the magazine it shows what the recipes look like and what page they are on so you don't have to keep going through the magazine to find what you want or remember a silly name they gave a recipe and try to find it in an index.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cooking or even just wants to try something new.  The recipes are very easy to follow.  I have given several gift subscriptions and all recipients have really enjoyed this magazine an continue to subscribe.

Enjoy

title: Where to Retire Comments

text: Reasonably informative but could/should be a lot better. Style and content not up to date; related website totally useless even for magazine subscribers.


title: Affordable Rolling Stone Substitue

text: Now that Rolling Stone jacked up it's price to $89/yr, thought I'd give this a try and was pleasantly surprised.


title: Relaxing read

text: Great magazine and a great price


title: Tv options

text: Make sure you have a Kindle having access to this feature,


title: One big, bad advertisement

text: I purchased Forbes magazine from a mail solicitation.  The price was very good, so I signed up for a 2 year subscription.  Once it started I kept waiting for some sort of substance to show up in the articles.  The Steve Forbes editorial is about the only decent article in the magazine.  Everything else is a glorified advertisement for those who have a lot of discretionary money. I can't wait for the subscription to expire.  When I get a Forbes magazine now it basically goes straight to the recycle bin.  If you like this type of magazine, then you'll like this one.


title: Happy birder

text: Bought this gift subscription for my dad. He is a senior citizen who has been quarantined at home a lot lately, so this magazine has given him something fun to read. He enjoys the bird profiles and seeing the beautiful pics in each issue.


title: Five Stars

text: Really like this magazine,  they are full of short stories and jokes.


title: I enjoy working Sudoku puzzles

text: I enjoy working Sudoku puzzles, and I especially like Pennypress/Dell Sudoku magazines, the ones whose bindings are stapled, not glued. They are MUCH easier to handle while I'm working the puzzles on the bus or in a waiting room.


title: Lift your spirits everytime you read.

text: uplifting stories about angel encounters that will make you feel good everytime you read them.


title: great short relevant articles

text: This magazine has lots of great short relevant articles, and I always learn something everytime I read it. I especially like the health tips.  This makes a great potty break or waiting room magazine.


title: A Mother's Day gift she loves

text: I bought this subscription for my Mom.  It is the only magazine that she requests a subscription to.  She really enjoys reading all the gardening information, and learning new ways of doing things.


title: Good thing the price was cheap, because magazine was disappointing.

text: I got a subscription to this magazine for $5, which was a good thing because I was disappointed with this magazine.  I was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so I am always on the lookout for good recipes that I can prepare and eat without messing up my diet.  I had heard good things about the Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine, so when I found this great price I decided to try it.  I loved the general setup of the magazine, but was disappointed that the recipes didn't show any nutritional information.  How am I supposed to know if the dishes are diabetic-diet friendly, if there is no nutritional information available?  I already received a renewal bill, but I won't be renewing the magazine unless I see some improvement in the next couple of months.


title: Great magazine for a fantastic price

text: I love this magazine. It has short articles that can be read on the run, and I learn something new everytime I read an issue.


title: Great magazine for a great price

text: I love this magazine.  It has short articles that you can read on the run and I learn something new each time a read on of these magazines.

text: We love Reader's Digest and this was a great offer.


title: Great Magazine, Great Price

text: Great Magazine, Great Price. Would buy again.


title: Bring mom to the mountain

text: My mom is unable to visit me in Hawaii, but she just oves the magiazine and my attempt to share some of the beautiy of my home. She really likes it. I'm glad.


title: Must have if you shop rather than buy

text: Good reviews. Been buying it for years


title: Expensive for what you get

text: A lot of money for 10 or 12 pages. Articles are good if not a little short.


title: I grew up in the 70s reading Popular Mechanics and ...

text: I grew up in the 70s reading Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazine. Popular Mechanics is not the ssme magazine. When you start seeing discussions about fashion it is time to bail.


title: Price2

text: Good price $5.00


title: Disappointed

text: Major- doesn’t really have a lot of reading that targets 50+ y/o especially considering Oprah’s age.<br />Minor yet annoying is the cover is so slick it won’t stay stacked. Don’t like the feel of it.


title: hubby happy

text: he likes


title: Missing issues

text: Received about 2 issues after start of subscription and then none for a few months. Then email apologizing and saying that subscription will start again soon. Got one issue and then none again. I would not recommend ordering this magazine subscription through Amazon.


title: Great garden tips

text: Great magazine, love the new plants every year.


title: It good

text: I haven't approved of where Food Network TV has gone the past few years.  But, their magazine has done a great job with Miele at the helm as their editor.  I have subscribed to the magazine since the beginning and it has only gotten better and better.  The only thing I miss is Paula's wisdom.


title: Grandson Really Enjoys

text: My grandson is 6 & goes to a Spanish Immersion School & has for several years. Highlights Bilingual reinforces what he learns at school & he loves it. It also helps him learn Spanish/English reading.<br />With Spanish being the 2nd most used language in the USA my daughter is preparing him for his future & this supports those goals.


title: Great Magazine for Kids

text: I got this for my grandson. My daughter loved this as a child and I knew he would love it too. What kid doesn't like to get something in the mail just for them. He is learning about animals, etc in a way that doesn't feel like learning. He's is curious and loves to learn. This is one of several magazines I have ordered for him.


title: Very handy

text: Great ideas for a great value.


title: Great Content

text: I've been reading Popular Mechanics for so long I don't remember when I started it's THAT good.  The magazine has the most up to date and interesting articles.  If you have even just a little bit of curiosity in your brain then you will enjoy reading about all of the new gadgets and new technology that is out there.  Along with Popular Science these two magazines will keep you riveted with their new product features and the really interesting articles about various interesting and significant facts, figures and data.  Keep your mind refreshed and your knowledge up to date with the two Populars.  Mechanics and Science for those who like to stay at the forefront of what's going on in the world.

text: Very chill magazine full of luxury ads and this awesome feature where a famous fashion wacko narrates 24 hours in their shoes.


title: order it as a birthday gift

text: I ordered it as a birthday gift for a 11 year old boy, he loves it! It is great for children/ adult interested in history and geograhy.


title: Political Humor Magazine in a Fun and Quick Read

text: If you like left wing political humor, this is your publication. It's done in a traditional newsprint format and contains evenly distributed sections of comics and articles. It's about 20 pages and can be read in a single session.


title: Great magazine and great museums.

text: I used to subscribe to the Smithsonian for years and like many things, cut back due to expenses. When I saw this deal, I jumped on it.


title: Thick, glossy paper, impressive.

text: This is an exceptional magazine if you're at all interested in the hobby.  It costs a bit more than popular magazines, but once you see the paper quality alone, you'll understand why!


title: So far, so good.

text: I've read quite a few negative reviews about RD, but I decided to give it a try anyway after picking up a newsstand copy.  I do not regret my decision, it seems to contain everything I remember liking about the magazine.  It's nice to take out on the deck and relax with.  There are quite a few ads, but that's in every magazine.


title: Decent magazine, horrendous company

text:
This will be my last year of this magazine.  It's not a bad magazine, but the company behind it is the most lowdown, dirty, stereotypical "used car salesman" style company I have ever dealt with. And that's unfair to the car salesman.

Get prepared to make some phone calls.  They've sent me two books, then aggressively tried to charge me for them each time.  Problem is, I didn't order either one.  I didn't use a credit card, but I wouldn't put it past them to make unauthorized charges, so be careful.  Enough verbal threatening over the phone will eventually get them off your case, and they'll just tell you to keep the books.  Believe me, not worth it.

And lastly, I'm no longer getting my money's worth.  The price per issue has gotten far too high, and keep in mind each issue is only approx 30 pages.  Pair that with only 6 issues per year, and you're not getting much for your money.  Their equipment reviews are nice, their product comparisons are nice, but the recipes are hit or miss. Far too many tend to focus more on how pretty they look rather than how they taste.  But overall, it just isn't worth the hassle any longer.  Not to mention you'll get inundated with junk mail.

Warm up your cross-cut shredder, you're going to need it.  I'm here today because I got a warning that my subscription was about to expire, even though I swore I just extended it a few months ago.  Since there are only 6 issues, they pretty much bombard you with renewal requests right out of the gate.  Annoying, to say the least.

If anyone at Cook's Illustrated monitors these reviews, let it be known that your PRACTICES are why I will not be renewing, not your content.  Impossible to recommend until they change their ways.


title: This is a great magazine.  I look forward to every issue.

text: I am an older guy who grew up with an interest in science, astronomy, and techie stuff.  This is one of my favorite magazines.  Almost all of the articles are interesting to me.  The wording and illustrations are very good.  I wish it was a ‘monthly’ magazine.  But, I’m still very happy with it.


Today I received my first issue.  I gotta say, this magazine has surprised my with the amount of handy tips and articles it contains.  My first issue contained a comparison of several small air compressors and suggested which compressors were the best and "why".  Very informative.  Yes, it also contains ads for products.  But, they are type of ads that us DIY'ers enjoy seeing.  I am very happy with my first issue and look forward to future issues.


title: But I like the information

text: Way to much adds. But I like the information.


title: Great product

text: Great product


title: Great product for the value.

text: Great product for the value.


title: Excellent, classy, informative

text: There are precious few magazines out there for the military historian with the appeal that this one has.  The illustrations are stunning and complement the well-written and informative text month after month.  One of my favorite magazines and a must-have for the military historian.


title: Investment newspaper with interesting articles (sometimes.)

text: I have enjoyed subscribing to this newspaper; also for it's online access. It has some interesting articles some times. It provides insight and valuable information about many companies (stocks) that I find interesting as well as about other news related to business.  It does have some conservative writers; but it is only in the editorials and a few articles.  I recommend this newspaper along with the Financial Times. The IBD does not have the range of articles as the Financial times.


title: Great price

text: I received my renewal notice from EW and wasn't sure I wanted to renew.  Amazon's price was a bargin.  I'm not so much interested in who is doing what in the entertainment world; I get it to keep current with what movies I think I'd like to order.


title: Five Stars

text: very good


title: Probably won't renew

text: Guess I will get used to this, but so far, there's too much information.


title: Expensive but worth the investment

text: This magazine is excellent if you are serious fly tier. If you are just looking for some cool patterns to tie and catch a couple of fish, y o u t u b e and g o o g l e should offer you everything you are looking for. But for the serious tier, this magazine is great. Lots of great advanced patterns and techniques. I only wish it were at least bimonthly rather than quarterly.


title: Still relevant

text:
Although the TV Guide isn't what it used to be (I miss the little book with all the listings for all the days),
I still feel that I need to read it each week.  I no longer refer to it for programming, since the tv itself has that info,
But I like to feel "in the know" about what is happening in that tv world.  And the best price I could find was on
Amazon!


title: Fun and Challenging Patterns

text:
I learned how to crochet when I was about 8 years old. Now I'm in my forties and I don't think there's any crochet I haven't tried. I get bored with patterns for toys or to cover your dishwashing liquid container, etc.

I never get bored with this magazine. There are a mix of challenging to easy/intermediate patterns. They are outside the norm and I find that lots of times I can easily alter them to incorporate beads or whatever. I've made a few wearables for friends and family and it's so gratifying to see someone enjoy your work and get to wear a pretty much one-of-a-kind top. Also, crochet tops hide a multitude of "sins". I have a friend who has a nice figure but she's had a few children now so is uncomfortable showing her middle. I made her a top from a pattern from this magazine that had tight stitching at the top for modesty but I did a more openwork diamond type of pattern on the bottom that let her skin show through and she wore it lots of times this last summer. I'm working on another for her for next year and will give it to her for her birthday in February.

I really enjoy this magazine and hoard the issues to keep coming back to them as time allows. I think this is definitely one of the better crochet magazines and worth the money.

text: Less adverts interrupting the articles so credit for that. Worth the cheap subscription offer tho would not pay full price.


title: Informative and Beautiful

text: I live this magazine. Beautiful pictures and informative articles.


title: Great pub!

text: I really enjoy this magazine and find many things to refer back to over and over. It's great for a versatile design novice, like myself. I like mixing classic with contemporary and can find a little of everything in this. I've only liked one design mag better than House Beautiful(Domino).


title: Fun reading

text:
Yes, there are a lot of ads. No, this is not award winning journalism. Regardless, I like Details, quite a bit actually. I travel a lot and subscribe to MANY print publications when they are on uber sale or free. One never knows what he will learn when reading. Anyway, I find myself folding more pages to refer back to in this mag than in the majority of my others. I also find myself laughing out loud, like a crazy person. There is usually one to two very funny articles every month. My favorite of all time was 'Are you raising a douchebag?' complete with a young kid wearing a blazer picture flipping off the camera.

Plus, I don't feel like a pervert when reading. I honestly don't usually take Maxim with me anymore.

I have been waiting for two months now and it is supposed to be another month and a half before the first issue would maybe make it to my door. What a joke.

No, it is not about the magazine, but how could anybody rate it when delivery for the first issue is almost half a year after placing the order?

text: Don't know what to say, We got the magazine on the news stand but saw a discounted subscription price for 10 issues and decided: "Why not" One issue so far came slightly mangled in the mail but I've had that problem in the past. It's a good magazine for recipe ideas.


title: Interesting topics

text: My grandchildren ages 8-10 still enjoy it & have read it about 5 yrs. Each child has his own magazine & they look forward to it coming.


title: Pleased

text: I was very pleased the ease of purcasing this as a gift for my sister


title: Overall satisfied. It's full of coupons - some rare, some not

text: I found All You magazine to just be ok this last year. I think it used to issue better coupons, although there still are some good ones! But... not enough. I find that I don't use the coupons in the magazine as much so I will probably stop my subscription. Although the articles are good, I find that the pay out isn't worth it for me anymore. It works great for some, but not for all!


title: Just what I wanted

text: Great magazine


title: Granddaughter loves getting her own magazine

text: We love getting this magazine for our granddaughter and it gives her hours of enjoyment reading the stories and going through the magazine.  She loves getting something just for her in the mail, too.


title: I enjoy this magazine.

text: I had not read it for a few years and was looking for "All You" which has gone under. This is nice but each issue is much a repetition on the last. Probably will not renew.


title: Great Magazine!!

text: This is one of my favorite magazines because there are no stars in it or petty advice. I thought the price on Amazon was excellent.

I had the Cook's Illustrated magazine and the America's Test Kitchen.com online - BOTH - but I just went to find a recipe for brisket and for an upgrade of ONLY $89.00  they  would let me see it!!!!  WTF!!!  I've been a subscriber for years. I've bought about 6 gift subscriptions over and over for years but today I've reached the end.  these people make me sick.

I like CH alot. Excellent seasonal recipes with good techniques made with ingredients available from almost every grocery store. Really good subscriber Q&A and tips and tricks section. Recipes are generally simple, easy to follow, and I have always had great success with every one. Really good flavors and results every time. Nutrition information is given with almost all recipes, great. The themed books are great as well: Light, Grilling, Summer, Holiday..., I think I have every one. Pictures are real, not doctored and give some nice presentation inspiration.

One reviewer stated they didn't like the advertisements, I don't get advertisements in mine, not sure what that was about and I've had my subscription expire and I never had any problems like another reviewer.

There is a CH website but no database, would live to see that sometime in the future.


title: Ok, but not 5 stars

text:
I have been a long time CI subscriber both magazine and web. They teach viable, updated techniques for a hoard of main ingredients. I like the publication for its lack of advertisements and honest, no-nonsense character. Background and trial and error information is shared for featured recipes and that makes interesting reading. Every CI recipe I've ever tried is successful to a basic extent. But many, like other recipe sources, lack the results to warrant the titles CI endows on them like "ultimate" and "Best ever". About half the recipes are simply lackluster. Most of the recipes have no consideration for nutrition and all lack nutrition information.

I agree with all the critical reviews here concerning the tactics of the publisher. Most disturbing is my latest subscription debacle. According to CI I had "auto subscribed", but after checking (yes I kept the paperwork) I had not. They didn't send me any reminders, nor did they have my credit card information to just bill me. Instead, after sending me 2 issues beyond the expiration date of the old subscription, they sent me overdue notices. I called the customer service and told the rep how disappointed I was that the publisher uses these tactics. They agreed to cancel immediately (of course) and that is that, I'll never subscribe to CI again, it's just not acceptable to try to trick your way into continued business.

The website is really convenient and I do maintain that subscription for now. Like other reviewers stated, you still don't get access to "Editors Pics", the so called best of the best. Another shady tactic to bilk more money from you.

To CI: What's more important (and profitable), Keeping lifelong customers through a good magazine (which it is) and honest business practices or constantly trying to scam your way into more subscriptions? Why don't you put that in the test kitchen and see how it bakes up?


title: Great Gift!

text: I purchased this magazine for my grandchildren who are interested in history and archaeology. They read every exciting issue. It is an EXCELLENT GIFT for inquiring minds!


title: Five Stars

text: Great deal


title: Well done magazine

text: On my second issue already. I share this with my mother-in-law and she loves it as much as I do.  This magazine seems to have a feminine side to most of the articles and maybe that is their target audience; but I find plenty of good things in there too and I'm an older guy who became a Catholic convert over 15 years ago.  This was a great price for one year, but I'm not sure I would renew for $40 a year if that's what they want come next year. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

text: Love the down-home thinking with a modern twist.  I didn't rate it a 5 star because it doesn't come 12 months.  Some of the suggestions are also hard to do for those of us who work and have children and live in the city.  Many articles are pertinent and do-able for city dwellers.

text: This is a great magazine. I love looking at the photos sent in . It covers pretty much the 40's to the 70's. Since i was born in the 50's I can relate to a lot of what is written. When I am through reading, I put out at a local nursing home. It is always grabbed up with in a day.

text: Great travel rag!  Enjoyable, timely.


title: not for CRUSING!!

text: Misleading


title: They have taken a good magazine and reduced it to a 50 page commercial.

text:
This publisher thinks that they are providing content when they talk about "New Products".  In reality, its just a forum for advertising items.

There was one recent article on how different shades of paint can be combined to make your house look pretty.  Funny, but there was just one manufacturer of the paint, and all the colors were their particular names for the color.  I can go to any box store and see handouts on ideas for combining paint colors, for free (ask the paint guy in the store to show you a "collections fan deck" and they will show you hundreds of combinations).

This magazine used to have all sorts of projects, complete with measurements and part lists.  You're lucky if you see one every other issue.  And what happened to handyman how-to stories?  What about DIY maintenance ideas and shortcuts?  What happened to Product COMPARISONS (not just regurgitation of the advert from every one of the manufacturers)?  Are they afraid they will alienate a potential advertiser if they dare to tell you one product is better than the other?

If you can't get how-to ideas, DIY maintenance articles, product comparisons, or well thought out projects, just what exactly is left?

You got it - advertisements.


title: It's Ok but Not Quite There

text: Publishers must think that once you're over 60 you're not interested in staying current.  What about us 70-somethings? Today's "senior citizens" don't sit in rocking chairs and let the world go by.  We are interested in sharp and beautiful fashion (just please don't show ONLY $200 t-shirts, etc.), skincare, makeup, interesting things to do and learn.  This magazine seems to think it's women's answer for all ages....but it misses the mark.


title: for more experienced photographers

text: It's not a magazine for a beginner.


title: How do they stay in business?

text: Ordered a sub on Dec 17th, 2016. Emailed Feb 9, 2017 to see what the hold up was, I was worried they were being mailed and not getting to me. Blade Magazine said I'd have to email publisher, they don't handle the subscriptions (?!) Emailed F&W. On Feb 13th, was told I'd get my first issue in May! Five months after pacing my order!!!! Emailed and cancelled subscription. Feb 14th, was told I'd get a refund in 4-6 weeks. Be warned, these people are still living in the age before computers. I'm surprised they figured out how to use email. Wonder if I'll get a check as a refund. Will never order anything from this publisher again. This could be the best magazine in the world, but I'll never know.<br />On a side note, I ordered a subscription from a different magazine a couple days after Christmas. I received my first issue the second week of January. So it's not like it can't be done.


title: Great magazine

text: Popular Science is a great magazine at a great price. I read every word of the first issued I received.


title: Beware rodale scams

text: I've been receiving prevention magazine for years even after being scammed ,I moved at one point ,forgettig subscription I started getting demand for payments on a magazine I had not been receiving and was reordered without my know leg .further more NEVER order a book as you will get taken for a lot of money on any of there books the 30day to see ,well if you return the book your looking for at least spending 30 ,so much for a free look.  As for the last person I agree ,every month it is the same thing new? Diets ,not much of real value anymore also stoked with questiol advertisement for items defiantly not heathy


title: Well written and beautiful magazine

text: I disagree with viewers that said too many advertisements. Only 9-10 pages on over 109 pages isn't bad!!! That's less than 10%. Compare that to Martha Stewart Living!!! Practically 80% ads!! Theses are unique and quality articles, recipes and inspiration! I do buy Used but if I could afford subscription I would. Good going Chip and Joanna!!!! Love you and your lovely family. I feel many people are a bit jealous. Ignore them.

text: Easily outstrips Psychology Today in regard to an intellectual approach to the subject matter and rivals, and in places excels Discover's quarterly brain series.  Smart, cutting-edge articles that the even somewhat initiated layman will be able to comprehend, while none of the writing is at all dumbed down.  A great find!


title: How can a magazine about guitars be bad??

text:
I've been playing guitar for almost twenty years and I love Guitar Player magazine. I challange myself with every issue to learn something new. No matter how minute, there is something new to learn in each issue. There are advice columns, gear reviews, and tablature for 5-7 songs.

Of course the highlight of the year is the July issue. It's better than Sport Illustrated's swimsuit issue. Guitar Player has there intrument and equipment review with the most beautiful models you'll ever see. And they're dressed like real rockers.


title: Helpful Pineapples?

text: This magazine has had it's ups and downs. I think they're on the downswing right now. The last three issuses have been pretty bland. Do not look for well written or insightful articles here. This magazine is your basic college dorm humor that tries sometimes too hard to be hip. My advice to the editors and writers of this magazine is to be yourselves before you become Rolling Stone.


title: Literary sporting journal

text:
Gray's sporting journal is to hunting and fishing as A Tale of Two Cities is to pulp fiction.

Not for the Field and Stream crowd. This is a journal that deserves to be read on a rainy afternoon, with a cigar and a single malt, preferably with your favorite gun dog coiled at your feet.

title: The definitive Dr. Who magazine in a convenient, if pricey AMAZON package

text:
It's a glossy high quality mag. done for fans by fans. Cover to cover it's 66 pages of interesting stuff about 41 years of Doctor Who. Doctor Who Monthly is loaded with original color photo spreads and articles about the TV show, new and old. It covers related books, DVDs, CDs, appearances, conventions, merchandize, and more. DWM has insightful interviews with series stars past, present and future. The new series' producer Russel T. Davies, as a fan, gives exclusive info and interviews to the magazine, out of respect and thanks for all the years he enjoys DWM before working on the series. Learn TORCHWOOD spin-off info here first, which books, toys and DVDs are due out and reviews for them in OFF THE SHELF. Read set reports from the episodes in production and post-production. Read regular features like my favorite: THE TIME TEAM, a monthly column in which 4 reviewers are watching all 723 original episodes (about 8 per month), commenting and keeping track of "DEATHS ON SCREEN SO FAR" (830 as of episode 537), also "instances of 1 or more REGULARS  BEING RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS" (163 as of episode 537) and " 1 or more REGULARS BEING INCARCERATED" (216 as of episode 537) on the CLICHÉ COUNTER. DWM is published by MARVEL COMIC UK so there is always a 4 or 6 part comic strip, currently featuring the 10th Doctor and Rose.

If love the series this is the best publication on the market related to the series, although DreamWatch is easier to find at a Barnes and Nobles, but you might get only one Dr. Who article in it. DWM runs about $7.99 cover (apart from AMAZON), publishing 13 magazines per year (there's an ANNUAL special), you can special order issues without a subscription at some bookstores or most comicbook shops. That's actually $113. 87 after tax, so for convenience (17 dollars of convenience, sir), the Amazon subscription at $130.73 maybe the choice for you or one at a time somewhere else, either way it's a great mag.


title: Not Good

text: Definitely not as good as American Bee Journal.  Won't re subscribe by no means.

text: "National Geographic Kids" was ordered for my grandson. He is looking forward to having mail arrive in his name every month and to learning new information.


title: All The Depth of a Pancake

text:
Geared to the gay community, OUT is a glossy magazine designed to appeal to individuals who find PEOPLE too deep.

The magazine is advertising heavy, and not surprisingly the advertising in question tends to be fashion-and-style oriented.  The articles follow suit.  This might not be a bad thing but for the fact that it is all 1980-ish clone in nature: guys in tight pants and open jackets, snippets of exercise advice, hair-style how-to, and tiresome underwear models.  There is the occasional celebrity piece and the occasional nod to lesbians.  When all is said and done, OUT has all the depth of a pancake--the sort of thing you flip through once and then throw away.  Yawn.

title: Great magazine. I enjoy every issue

text: Great magazine.  I enjoy every issue!


title: Happy with the magazine

text: It took a while for the first issue to arrive but it finally did.  Happy with the magazine.


title: Good reading

text: Iv read this book from cover to cover absolutely love it!


title: If you're a writer, especially writing fiction, every issue is helpful

text:
For years, I didn't read this magazine because I was focusing on nonfiction.  At the time, "Writer's Digest" magazine seemed written for novelists and short story writers.

That's still somewhat true, and I didn't re-subscribe until I began drifting back towards novels.

However, every new issue includes something of use to all writers -- book length as well as those who write shorter works -- and nonfiction writers as well as novelists.

The convenience of both the print version (which I highlight, or at least clip and put the key articles into a binder) and the Kindle edition... that's more handy than I'd expected it to be.

All in all, this has turned into a far more useful tool than I'd anticipated. Every issue has something that saves me time and improves my work.


title: Delicious ideas for anyone living in... well, any kind of dwelling

text:
This is one of those great magazines that pack a lot of ideas and information into each issue.  I love the innovative photography, the fresh ideas, and the range of dwellings (apartments to mansions) they cover.

I'm really pleased that Amazon suggested this magazine to me, and -- as usual -- offered it at a great price.  If I use even one idea from each issue (and I'm likely to use at least a dozen), our home will be more comfortable, attractive and efficient each month.

Sure, I get starry-eyed over the color schemes and frou-frou ideas in magazines such as Country Living and House Beautiful.  However, Dwell is the one that gets me out of my reading chair and actually making positive changes, right away.


title: Always interesting and a classic

text:
This is one of the few magazines that provides genuinely interesting, varied and useful information to people who enjoy a "financially comfortable" lifestyle.

They cover a wide range of topics, and are known for photos from recent charity events, debutante balls, and notable weddings.

From designer fashions to collecting art to their regular lists of best charities, best doctors, and best places to visit, this is a reliable magazine. It eschews fads and focuses on getting true value from everyday life.

This is not a magazine for everyone, but it's greatly appreciated by its regular readers.  I've read almost every issue since I was 14 years old, and... well, that's a long time.  If I could read only one magazine each month, this would probably be it.


title: Good even for someone that isn't a GAMER!

text: Love this magazine! Truthfully, I got it for my son who has a Wii (and now recently a DS..) but it is a little over his level to read (he's 8) But we sat together and read a GREAT article....10 Great Wii Games You're not playing...and why you SHOULD.... it was great...informative, interesting. This was a FABULOUS deal thru amazon...only $5 and it is a really super magazine that I know, as someone that is NOT a gamer, I will use to pick out future games for our son, my husband and friends ....


title: Awesome projects, tips, techniques

text: Each issue contains one or more awesome projects from beginner to expert levels, tips, techniques, product reviews and more.  I never throw out an issue.


title: Great value

text: I love the Amazon price.


title: Improve your artistic know how and stay up to the minute in all mediums

text: Whether you are serious about your art or just find it your passion to create....The Artist's Magazine spans all areas of medium from drawing to painting offering schedules for Exhibitions, Workshops and Competitions. You will find it all here...an Artist's Toolbox of discovery into the world of business as well as the latest in supplies. I know this Aiken Artist is left anticipating the next issue before it ever arrives. If you want easy to understand and a great overview of the market and what is happening...this is a broad range Artist's Magazine you just can't be without...I love portrait, Drawing, Watercolor, Gouache, Oils and Ink...and this magazine always touches on my interest.

title: An Excellent Magazine With or/ Without The Disk...

text:
The PS2 has sold over 30 million units (or so) as of late....
The XBOX has sold close to 11 million units as of late...
Q: Yet do you know which magazine (official PS2 or XBOX magazine) has more subscribers?
A: Official XBOX Magazine (OXM) does, with over 400,000 subscribers.
Q: Do you know why so many people subscribe to this magazine?
A: Because it has excellent reviews, great articles, fair- unbiased opinions about all systems, up-to-date news, and accurate rumors about what to expect in the near future...
Here's what I thought of OXM, the OFFICIAL XBOX Magazine, after a 12-week subscribtion....
1) The columns: First off, these magazines are PACKED with information about not only the XBOX (mostly), but just gaming in general...  Interviews, reviews, previews, rumors, specials, tips, etc...  Its all here, all about XBOX.  We recently found out (officially) that Grand Theft Auto and GTA: Vice City are coming out for the XBOX...
If your read OXM a few months ago, GTA was reported to be coming to XBOX in a 2-game package...
Months before HALO 2 was announced for the XBOX, OXM predicted informed us of it in an earlier issue...
I was low on cash, and didn't have the money to rent a lot of games that "looked" good.
Weeks later, I noticed that the games that I bought and were reccomended by OXM were great, and the ones I tried that OXM dismissed...were average to bad games, and were not worth my cash...
My point in all this is that this magazine is full of people who know what they're talking about.  Experienced gamers who have accurate sources, and get the info out to us, is what OXM is all about.  They have accurate ratings on games, know their rumors, and really get you excited about not just XBOX, but gaming in general, as they tell you about some of the things they get to experience, sometiems YEARS before people like us will see them.
Creative, fun, and accurate (and with a good sense of humor), OXM is a great magazine, and definantly worth my fifteen dollars...
2) Reviews/Previews: This magazine reviews 30-40 games a week, and previews at least 10 games.  ANd the reviews are for the most part accurate and well done.  Most reviews have 7-8 articles of real info, real opinions, and real descriptions of the game.  If you can't rent it, this is the next best thing.  They gave HALO-Splinter Cell-DOA3 all 9.0-10 scores, and they were all fantastic games.  Other games like NFL Blitz 2003, Obi-wan, and Crash Bandicoot, they gave lower scores of 6-8.5, which I agreed with as well.
These guys know what they're doing, and actually play these games thoroughly before writing the reviews.
As for the previews, we were hearing information about Splinter Cell, DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Amped 2, and Project Gotham Racing 2 months before they hit the shelves...
These guys (and girls) play these anticipated games, or at least early demos of the game, months before they're released, and get the information out so you can start saving up.  An excellent magazine, OXM has prepared me and steered me away from a number of games, and just keeps on doing it...
3) Interviews: Almost every issue of this magazine has interesting interviews with makers of dozens of games.  They talked with Ubi-Soft about Splinter Cell, RARE about being bought and joining the XBOX team, Bungie when they announced HALO 2, Microsoft XBOX employees about the future of XBOX and current plans...  They got the scoop on XBOX Live almost immediatly after the XBOX was released...( months before it came out)  These guys are weaved into the gaming world, and give people like me abd u a little bit of where gaming is headed, and of what's to come...
4) Hints and Tips: Another thing this magazine has is a ton of great hints and tips.  Beleive it or not, the people who write about and give us the scoop on all these great games coming to XBOX, are also gamers themselves...and they are good ones too!  And every issue, they give you step-by-step tips to dozens of great games.  In the past, they've helped us with LOTR: Two Towers, Splinter Cell, HALO, BMX XXX, etc...  When you hit a wall in a game, OXM just might be the ones to bring that wall down...
5) Opinions: This magazine, last but not least, is full of great opinions from not only xpert gamers and XBOX fans like these writers.  But every issue has letters sent to OXM, with XBOX gamers asking questions or stating opinions, and OXM responding to them.  Curious about what fellow XBOX gamers are thinking about?  This magazine brings your dozens of opinions every week...  Very interesting read!
Overall, this magazine is just incredible.  When comparing it to other magazines, OXM just has a style to it that others lack.  With it's accurate info, great articles, in depth hints, and just love of gaming, OXM is a winner, and for fifteen bucks, a must have for any XBOX gamer...
Oh, and if your wondering if I'll be renewing my subscribtion (mine ends next month), the answer is a definate yes.
Thx!

title: Country Magazine at it's Best.

text: I saw this magazine at a hair salon where I go to often and I saw this magazine pocked it up and enjoyed it right away. The photos of America's beautiful land and the people made this a wonderful magazine :) I 'knowing the hair stylist' asked if I could have the magazine. No problem in having it I later subscribe to it. And I'm waiting for my first issue :) There really is nice photos inside like horse buggies , mountains, trees, lakes and people. It has wonderful articles also and If your an artist like me and love to draw this mag is the perfect way to come up with your own creative drawings.


Beautiful photography, informative stories.  One of the best magazines around and one that the whole family can enjoy.  Love it!


title: Sick but sometimes quite beautiful

text: I know men are dogs, but come on do we still need magazines like this with the internet and all the smut available? I think these magazines are piggish, but even as a hetero woman I can admit to the stunning beauty of some (not all) of the women models. This magazine's photography is sometimes "soft focus" which makes it look like it was photographed by a Sears family portrait specialist. I think that clarity, especially in the digital age, is actually more important. So really based on the misogyny and poor photograph clarity, I would say that this dirty magazine is not worth the price.


title: Garbarge stinky waste of paper crud

text: Everything from the writing to the photography - heck, to the typesetting! - found within this magazine is total dog doo-doo.  My friend's teenage daughter, who used to not be "too cool" to hang out with me, absolutely idolizes this magazine.  In fact, this magazine (or 'rag' as I should call it) even came between our special relationship.  The only reason I ever buy a copy of this 'rag' is to burn it for kindling.  Unfortunately, it's been too warm lately for a fire.  Fortunately, I have many copies stacked up for the winter.


title: Beautiful magazine loaded with art treasures!!

text: Beautiful magazine with awesome artwork of every kind. My brother has been a “picker” 47 years so I bought him this magazine to which he’s very much enjoying.


title: My daughter loves HGTV.

text: When the magazine came out several yrs ago I was going to get her a subscription, but the reviews I read were not good, so I waited. She wouldn't stop talking about it. A couple of years ago I got her the subscription when there was a special on them through Amazon. She loves it!! She is a computer lover but she loves getting this every time it comes out. I think about every 2 months it comes. Sorry. She keeps them all and starts projects at her home from the ideas she sees in it. It has been a great gift for her birthday each year. I will say, the price is way more than it should be, so I look around for best price now. Sometimes that is Amazon and sometimes not. She loves it. If you have someone who watches all of the shows on HGTV, She would love to tell you, She loves it!!


title: It is simply the best!

text: This magazine is simply the very best there is - and I too have been reading it faithfully for many years now. It is THE magazine for anyone who wants to  be any kind of globally aware citizen in these troubled times - and it is always easy to understand and written in plain English as well (which certainly does help....) I will be a happy reader I trust for many more years to come. Christopher Catherwood, author of CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE (Zondervan, 2003)


title: You don't need to be conservative to enjoy this magazine

text: You don't need to be a conservative to enjoy this magazine! (I am a Tony Blair supporting Briton, who reads it faithfully!) Both Fred Barnes and Claudia Winkler, the real power houses behind this magazine, make it lively, well-written and entertaining reading for people of all political persuasions, from ultra neo-con to British Blairites, and all shades of opinion inbetween. Even liberals should enjoy the excellent  book reviews! Christopher Catherwood, British Blairite Evangelical Weekly Standard reader - and author of CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE (a forbes.com bookclub selection in 2003)


title: The easiest read of the Business magazines

text: Forbes is by far the easiest to read for a non-specialist like me (I am a writer) and therefore essential reading for those of us who want to know what is going on in the business world who don't know all the endless jargon that the more specialist magazines tend to use. This is my magazine of choice when I spend time in the USA writing books (which includes the forbes.com bookclub book CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS AND ISLAMIC RAGE, Zondervan, 2003) - that book club being another benefit of a subscription


title: Experience the Power of SELF

text:
I first became a SELF reader after its sister magazine, WOMEN'S SPORT AND FITNESS, went out of print. Initially, I was a little uneasy with the switch, but I have come to love this publication.
I have read many fitness and health magazines, yet this is the one I look forward to every month. There are many different sections, and they are all inspirational yet practical. The beauty handbook offers tips such as how to get a certain look for less money. The health section explains, in plain English, various studies, health information, and recent developments. The fitness section offers easy-to-do, relatively short and simple workouts that are effective. The nutrition part gives readers easy, tasty, and healthy recipes to follow.
Unlike many magazines, SELF is not depressing to read. I have never felt negatively about my body or image after reading it. I feel energized, motivated, and inspired. Try it -- and experience the power of yourself.


title: Not a lot of Stuff....

text: Stuff is best described as a supplement magazine to Maxim. Both feature more or less the same thing (girls, jokes, articles for those with short attention spans, girls, guy's fashion, useless trivia, girls), but Maxim is slightly thicker and therefore has more value, considering that both have the same cover price. While the articles in Stuff are interesting, they're slightly sub-par compared to Maxim. Stuff feels like the leftovers that didn't quite make it into Maxim. However, the girls are just as beautiful, and the magazine has one monthly feature that Maxim missed, Dawn's Column, where she interviews a group of everyday (but still beautiful) women who reveal all kinds of valuable tidbits for guys. If Stuff was slightly cheaper I'd give it a higher rating, but if you've already got Maxim, you should get Stuff too.


title: Silly and meaningless

text: I suppose meaningless is what skin mags are all about; after all, guys don't want to infuse photos of Brooke Burke in a bikini with Hobbesian logic. Nevertheless, there are much better alternatives.<br />If I want to see photos of hot women, I can order the Victoria's Secret catalog, which exceeds hundreds of pages just of photos, and save myself the annual subscription. Don't waste your money on Stuff, because the content is childish and silly. The articles have brought even soft-porn journalism to a new low, the comics aren't funny, and the entire outfit is generally the kind of thing high school sophomores would pass around at an underage party. You don't want to associate yourself with the IQ of a 16 year old, do you? Save your money.


title: Live it

text: Victoria magazine and Veranda are the only ones worth having in print.  Absolutely beautiful!


title: Takes me to another world

text: One of the few magazines that are worth getting a subscription for


title: Its still iconic magazine

text: However, not as good as years ago.  The writing has changed.  Ads are incorporated with regular writing.


title: Still worth it

text: Great article but also a  bit overzealous in their ads .a lot of ads disguised as articles.


title: Pure ads everywhere

text: Remember the old Glamour magazine that used to have such great articles with some ads here and there? this is not it!<br /> this is all ads targeted to young women.


title: Great Magazine

text: The problem with these is that their are articles on "the contents of rich peoples cabinets", they also don't give great ideas about holiday decorating. Instead of offering classy, design minded ideas, they sometimes offer ideas that you might see on Martha stewart.


title: Certified teacher says YES!!!!

text:
I have not bought this on amazon yet- (trying today due to sale)-but we have had this for years. My daughter absolutely loves it and it is probably the thing I enjoy reading most with her. This is such a great tool for teaching non-fiction reading skills.

I only stepped up to do a review because I saw poor reviews and it shocked me. I have several years of these in a book cabinet that my daughter will not get rid of for anything. She is 10 now and has been reading these since as early as four.

The reading level is not for a four-year-old, but it is a tool to get them interested.

I am a 20-year teacher of reading, writing and history. I am Nationally Board Certified. I am currently teaching US History to high school seniors, but I am cerified k-12.

Please help our children love the animals and skills of reading.
