title: For the weekend warrior, DIY'er and the pros

text:
I've been woodworking for over 20 years, and this magazine inspires me more than magazines geared for woodworking.  The articles are clearly written; the pictures are crisp and to the point (show just what's necessary without slipping in paid name-brand product shots.)  And the ads seem to be kept to a minimum (sure, they are in there, but not every other page.)

If you are simply looking for ideas to show a carpenter, or looking for tips this is the magazine for you.  Each month you will find:

Safety tips

Q&A

Finishing Touches

Testing power tools

Product comparison

Building skills

Replacing the old (doors, windows, decks...)

It seems that every month there is at least one article that is beyond the scope of most subscribers.  But I have found this the most useful, thus far.  A couple of these articles have helped me view / approach a project from a different angle, and each with a far better result than my initial design.  While most of us may not be able to DO all of the incredible things shown in the magazine, we can take away some great ideas and techniques that we can use in other projects.

The best thing is that two articles have already saved me more money than the one-year subscription cost me!

I highly recommend this magazine in conjunction with Handyman magazine.  Together, you can build / fix just about anything.


title: Great magazine

text: Great magazine with lots of helpful articles and tips.  You won't be disappointed if you subscribe to it.  Great price also.


title: Impossible to return!

text: Don’t buy it. Impossible to return!


title: Excellent magazine for preschool and early elementary school children

text: Boys and girls alike in the preschool and early elementary age group will enjoy this magazine.  It has puzzles, stories, facts about the world, activities, etc., some for the children more independently and some for parents and children to do together.  The paper and printing are also of good quality.


beyond not getting all my magazines like i was supposed to, the magazine itsself was very informative and interesting.


title: Food Network recipes from old favorite chefs,,, great price and easy to use.

text: Great magazine for the reduced price.  Love Ina and Bobby Flay.


title: my travel style is not better, only different

text:
I tried a 1-yr subscription for this 8-page per edition newsletter.  Today I got a renewal in the mail - $195 for 1 yr!  Jeeesh!! There may be consumers for this magazine, but I am definitely not one of them.  AH states he usually plans trips one year in advance.  That right there leaves me out.  I’ve done 7 in the past year (5 in, 2 out of the country) and not one was planned more than 3 months out.
The info here caters to high-end hotel and restaurant options.  E.g., “Accompanied to our room by a member of the engaging staff, we found a continuation of the warm color scheme played out in handsome wood panels and stylish furniture with an art deco cast.”  There is little info on active travel, or local culture, or street market finds, or talking with locals unless you count local guides as cavorting with the locals.  Not one paragraph mentions prices, so you know right away if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
Sheryl Crow said, if it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad.  Yes, there’s a market for this type of travel magazine, but it’s not me.


title: bought for mom

text: Bought as a present for Mom.  She requested I not renew the subscription.  In her words, the articles review information she already knows about.


title: Fantastic magazine for today's woman

text: Love the magazine=so does my daughter in love.  She has made some of the recipes and has done some of the crafts.  She likes this magazine because it is for the everyday woman=the cost of clothes, furnishings, everything is more down to earth than items in so many women's magazines. And it is a good size too.

title: Classic must-read magazine

text: One of my favorite magazines I have ordered for years. I love the gardening articles, the decorating ideas, and most of all, the recipes!


title: Missed opportunity

text: Amazing concept. Great photos. Thinnest possible articles imaginable. I'm super disappointed. This is based on only one issue, which is maybe not fair. I'll update if my opinion changes. For now, a sad missed opportunity.


title: Just starting to know themagazine

text: I have seen the magazine before but never bought one and it seems it has interesting articles that are worth the subscription. The had since it was free I guess it is ok, it is not the greatest quality but hey, it was free.


title: Five Stars

text: Great price on a magazine I love!


title: Aw naw.

text: I use to subscribe to this magazine but now, with remarks of being a political rag rather than solid science I could not and will not subscribe again.  Sad, xo sad.


title: Five Stars

text: We love high 5!


title: It's perfect for him

text: Purchased for an 8 year old. It's perfect for him. Loves the articles and pictures. He's even written in to one of the author's.


title: Five Stars

text: My five and eight year old love this magazine. We are very happy with the subscription.


title: Good information for new users.

text: Found some information useful, but magazine s really thin. I was expecting.something more like a PC magazine in size and content.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine. It had lots of great information  and inspiring stories.  Love Oprah.


title: I got this because I would get an email from ...

text: I got this because I would get an email from Wired and try to read the story, but it would get blocked. Int this thinking it would solve my problem. No luck on that, so I am canceling the subscription. They still wanted me to pay extra for the web site.


title: Overall......great stuff

text: Don't always agree with political tones......but beautiful writers..........love to picture myself at the Broadway shows even though I won't actually see many of them......so I very much enjoy the reviews.....Best to all....Stu Harrell


title: Boring.

text: These are really nice quality little magazines. However, they are incredibly lame. The best part is the "find it" page that shows three things to find in an illustration. That rest are pointless short stories and poems. I just think there is so much more you could do with a magazine for toddlers.


title: Happy Reading!

text: My favorite magazine and great price!!


title: One of the Best Magazines!

text:
Ok- I drool the entire time I look at this magazine!  The photos are fantastic, and so inspiring!

The recipes seem much more realistic than what they do on t.v.  I also love the fact that the magazine makes the chefs seem more personal, and it makes you want to watch their shows.  I also love their suggestions for kitchen products.  Most are reasonably priced and can be found locally (Kohls carries their entire kitchen line, love it!), rather than some elite boutique in a remote city.

Every magazine has a little insert with 50 different suggestions for a certain item.  Last month it was for spaghetti sauce.  I never thought to use such a simple ingredient for so many things!  It really makes you look at everyday items in new and creative ways.  Plus, it comes out easily from the magazine and you just stick it in your recipe book for your next party!

If you are looking for a change of pace from the boring cooking magazines, I really recommend this one!  It's fresh, new and one your neighbors will fight to borrow!


title: Always look forward to this magazine!

text: This magazine is great!  As for the advertisements, I don't notice anything more than other magazines.  Although, some of the articles are one page, and could be confused with ads.  I love the articles and the great craft ideas.  My son loves to look at the photos as well.  We always sit down and read it together.  And it's got info in there for all ages ranges of children!


title: Horrible experience

text: This magazine was offered as a $5 deal and I was disappointed in the magazine itself.  I did not want to renew, but especially did not want to renew for the pricy renewal fee.  However - the magazine sent me a letter stating that I was going to be automatically renewed unless I contacted them!  Which was nearly impossible!!!  ESPN The Magazine is a scam.  I have called several times already trying to let them know I do not want this magazine anymore and cannot get through to anyone.  I am so disappointed with this.  It's bad enough that your magazine is terrible, but even worse that I have to go through all of this garbage just to cancel a crappy magazine.  Don't sign up!! Not even if they are promising a free issue!  What a pain.


title: FULL of things for our older grands like to do.

text: Small disappointment that our 5 and 7 year old are somewhat at sea with this mag.<br />I ordered it on 12/15/2020 and first one arrived on 1/21/21 - seems fair to me. I’ll update after the kinder have read a couple of issues.


title: Good guidance, tasty recipes.

text: Another great cooking mag. FC features a 'how to' in most issues and I love those. Most of the recipes are outstanding. Also makes a good gift.


title: Great cooking mag. Good gift.

text: I love CL mag. In fact, other than the beef and pork recipes I cook everything in the magazine. In fact, now I think about it, I frequently sub other ingredients for the beef or pork.


title: His mother says it is great.

text: I got this for my 1-year-old nephew.  He has now turned two and still enjoys it.  There are colorful pictures and the magazine is durable.  His mother says it is great.


title: Mad, satire the way it is meant to be ...

text: Mad, satire the way it is meant to be. Props to Mad....the only comedy outlet that has dinged this president non-stop from his day's as the junior senator from IL.  Speaking truth to power, with humor.


title: My favorite design mag

text: Of all the design magazines, Print, CA, and HOW, HOW is the only one that has continued to match good business articles, print AND web. The only one I need every issue of.

title: True stories about encounters with angels

text:
Some anonymous person left three issues of this magazine in the chiropractor's office, where my wife started reading and then asked if she could have them.  Sure, said the receptionist.  Thus were we introduced to a very inspirational magazine.  Who knows?  Maybe it was angel-guided.  We like this magazine enough to subscribe -- which is what brought me here to do this review.

"Angels on Earth" is published six times a year by Guideposts, which many people know through the "Guideposts" magazine (inspirational) and holiday theme books.  Although Guideposts is definitely a Christian publisher, the "Angels" magazine itself is non-denominational and even inter-religious at times.  One of the three issues we found in the doctor's office had a story about a Jewish Holocaust survivor.  Another story was about a child looking for a lost cat, with no real focus on God as such, other than being "guided" to look in an unlikely place.  Some of the people in the stories aren't all that religious or, if they are, their particular religion is presented as a part of their personal bio as it fits into the story, not as preaching or "witnessing."
The illustrations, too vary widely -- from "church Sunday school" pictures of angels from the Renaissance Masters, to more ordiinary drawings of sea captains, cops, lumberjacks, ordinary moms and dads  -- depending on the story they illustrate. (If you know "Guideposts", you know the artwork -- otherwise, think "Reader's Digest.")
The purpose of the magazine is not to convert you to anything but, rather, to tell true stories about people who have had encounters with guardian angels.  "Belief" is left up to the reader.  Some of the angel stories are of the "miracle" type: surviving car crashes, shipwrecks, serious illnesses, etc.  Others are of the more "ordinary" type, such as the stranger who is there at the right moment.  This fits with the Jewish POV of an angel, since the Hebrew word, malach, can refer either to a supernatural being or an earthly messenger.
Personally, I believe in angels, and I find the stories fascinating.  Granted, some of them might strike you as versions of "The Vanishing Hitchhiker."  On the other hand, all the stories are first-person, by-lined accounts, often with photos of the people or animals involved.  And how do we know the Vanishing Hitchhiker isn't a real angel sometimes?


title: Fair

text: I asked for this subscription as a gift and received it. I've read 5 issues so far and I'm not really that impressed. I like information that allows me to take action to change my financial position and there just aren't enough tips in this expensive publication. It's usually about 5 pages long with a fair amount of information that is not useful or interesting.


title: Magazine is not what it used to be

text: I ordered this magazine for my boyfriend and his first complaint was that the magazine was practicly all advertisement and hardly anything actually readable in the whole thing. I've noticed this is a new trend with magazines, as I read my Cosmo a couple months ago and the first 30 pages or so was advertisement. I used to get this magazine about 6 years ago and I remember it being thicker and having more interesting stuff in it. I'm not too disapointed though because after all I did get it at a highly discounted price of $5.00 for a year subscription and to me, that's one and a half issues off the stands at the store so I'm really not upset I spent my money on it. For those of you who don't know anything about this magazine it's similar to FHM or a guy version of Cosmo.


title: Love this magazine

text: Arrived on time. Love this magazine!


title: This magazine has some interesting things in it, but ...

text: This magazine has some interesting things in it, but each issue is very, very short/small... there isn't much to it.


title: this magazine is great!

text: I've been a bird watcher for years; backyard watching is very relaxing...this magazine is great!


title: Air Classics

text: Wonderful magazine; I ordered this for my brother and both of us enjoy reading it; we like history of both World Wars, and the photos of the planes are interesting; we go to a lot of air shows so reading up on these planes makes it interesting when we actually see them fly and are able to stand next to them. If you like military history and planes then this is the magazine to read!


title: Bird Watchers Digest review

text: I enjoy this magazine; the bird's are from all over the country and you are also able to contact the author of the article to discuss it or give a comment.


title: Scientific American review 7/2013

text: I've had this magazine for a number of years and always found it interesting; also the book reviews are great!


title: Discontinued

text: I am so sad they discontinued this magazine. I had just renewed it.


title: Country Living Magazine

text: Love my Country Living Mag. and did a renewal at a very good price.


title: Extremely satisfied

text: Consistently useful for daily mass and prayerful devotion to my faith. I would recommend to all Catholics and those considering the faith. Order lead time is a little long but able to get a copy from my parish while I waited till my subscription started. The price is fair.


title: Great magazine

text: Good read


title: romantic home magazine

text: This is my favorite magazine. Wonderful photos and decorating ideas.


title: POSITIVE REVIEW

text: THIS MAGAZINE WAS ORDERED FOR MY SON--  HE LOVES IT--  AND I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW FOR HIM.  HE ENJOYS ALL THE  ARTICLES  IN EACH  MAGAZINE.


title: Great Ideas for Home

text: Love it

text: Great magazine but I think there is one that is specific to the Northwest. I am reading all sorts of articles that apply to L.A. Beautiful magazine though.


title: Gq is dead

text: I have been a gq subscriber for nearly 20 years.  The magazine went from suits and every day dress to weird high fashion unrepeatable garbage.


title: The very best Financial Magazine

text: The very best Financial Magazine.  Except for the Wall Street Journal the Very Best Financial publication!


title: Perfectly Tasty

text: Great recipes from people we know from the Food Network.  I've already made pizzas.


title: Fashion Photography

text: I'm a photographer and like to see what others are shooting. This magazine is slightly better than Vogue.


title: Informative for Pros

text: This magazine is not for amateurs. The articles are written by pros for pros. I like the product reviews.  Bay Photo, and Pictage run full page ads. It's for pros.


title: Great Magazine

text: Vogue is my Bible. I learned to shoot fashion from Vogue and its great photographers. Vogue is a classy magazine, well edited, and with terrific art direction.


title: Read the publisher's statement carefully

text: If you're looking for d.i.y. information on maintenance and minor repairs for your old house, skip this one. As the publisher says, it's pretty much all about major restorations by professionals, and there's very little the average homeowner could even participate in, let alone do on his or her own. If you want to learn how an architect chooses historically correct replacement windows for your old ones that stick, buy "This Old House." If you just want to know how to get the old ones unstuck, move on to "Family Handyman."


title: Great periodical for people who like to travel.

text: What better magazine for people who love to travel and have been sidelined due to covid-19.


title: Lot of info!

text: Not as great as I thought it would be, but I'm still keeping the subscription.

text: Great magazine!!


title: Great read 📖

text: Amazing magazine- thanks to all producing this.


title: Five Stars

text: My grandson loves this magazine.  He can hardly wait for the next issue


title: Yummy ideas

text: Love this magazine.


title: Especially for hard charging skiiers

text: This is a magazine geared for younger, wilder, hard drinking, flying off steep cliffs type of person. If that's you this is an exciting magazine with lots of pictures and articles. I did enjoy the articles and the photos are great. I'm probably too old for this as I was looking for family resorts and information on those types of places. January 2013 correction: SO Sorry, I originally said snowboarders and as I look back over the magazines I realize they are all skiiers. Wow, huge mistake. Again, sorry. February 2013 update: got a great issue with a review of multiple ski areas with insider tips and comparisons. This is a great magazine.


title: Excellent for Fans of the Genres

text: I bought this for my husband who is an avid reader if science fiction. He not only comments that the stories are great but lives the blurbs about the authors, some are known writers, some up and coming writers in the genre. He also loves the size of the book- easy to hold and travel with.


title: not interesting. lacks content

text: not a lot of interesting things in it. only 5 bucks but cancelled it. nothing worth looking at or filling the recycle bin with.


title: Enjoy getting it every month!

text: Have gotten this magazine for years.  Really love it.


title: No

text: I believe if you rate things as five stars you should not be forced to comment on the  product .so I will not rate. Anything anymore.

I'm not a magazine guy.. really. That said, I feel that if you're a 'guy's-guy' and you like gadgets, airplanes, cars, computers and whatever else is out or coming out.. this magazine is the way to go and you won't be dissapointed. I find that if I'm sitting down (figure it out) and start reading.. I can't put it down and then I end up taking it away and reading through page after page.. until it's finished. This magazine is really awesome.. I really mean that guys and gals into this stuff will NOT be dissapointed!!!

Get this Amazon has a GREAT price..

Sadly since Amazon sold me a defective Nikon CoolPix P950 for $1406 and only returned $106 when I sent it back cheating me out of $1300, I cancelled my subscription from Amazon and will have to purchase it elsewhere.

title: Flashier than TIME

text: After reading TIME for a while, it became boring. Newsweek is flashy, the cover stories arent so boring, and the format is better. For a news magazine, Newsweek beats TIME


title: Needs to be in color

text: The recipes and information is great in Cook's Illustrated. The only really bad thing is that it's not in color. When they're comparing the a burnt bread to a well cooked bread it would be easier to see it if the photo was in color.

text: I’m not sure when I started my subscription or when it renews. I’m going to be moving & as much as I enjoy reading articles when I have time, they’re stacking up on me as I’m too busy!! Anyone know how I can access my account to do so?<br />Thanks


title: EXCELLENT!

text: I got this as a gift 2yrs ago & I found myself looking for it in the mailbox. Although my home will never be so nice lol, a girl can dream right? I find it to be relaxing & mesmerizing eye candy. I love all the ideas, colors, textures. I got DECOR ... YUCK!! It is like a cheap wanna be version of H.B. to me. So glad to have again is all I can say.

title: Food porn

text:
I’m honestly torn about what to write in this review. This magazine is for food stylists, not home chefs. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I’ve gotten inspiration from it many times, but it’s also rife with ads for $60 cocktail glasses and weird brands of food you can’t find in a real grocery store.

I renew my subscription every couple years when I can pick it up for super cheap, but I don’t get enough serious inspiration from this publication to take it seriously.

If you’re pursuing a career in the culinary arts, if you love fancy pictures of fancy food and posh people who passive aggressively make you feel inferior for sometimes using processed ingredients, or if you want to be an edgier Martha Stewart, you’ll love this. If you’re looking for a fun new twist to cook for yourself or a family, try this when it’s on sale and don’t judge yourself for having realistic standards or substituting the reasonably-priced alternative from your normal-person grocer.


title: Some projects more practical than others

text: Decent instructions for most of the included projects. I do like the color inspiration, and there’s a lot of focus on organization for things like toy/craft areas. Some of the projects I’ve seen in the issue I’ve received and the two issues I read at someone else’s house are a little less practical, and it’s definitely geared for homeowners (rather than renters). Be ready to make holes in your walls!


title: Wait for a sale

text: I’ve had a subscription for a few years and love all the inspiration. Most of the restaurants are ridiculous, but there are some really interesting suggestions and good bios on people I wouldn’t find in my normal reading. It’s a fun magazine for my coffee table.


title: Mostly ads and beauty products

text:
I was looking forward to some articles, but this was mostly ads, with very little nutrition or workout science. I’d call it more of a fitness-minded beauty magazine than a health magazine.

It did have good recipes here and there, as well as a few workout routines…. But I see the same stuff for free on Instagram. I’m glad I got a trial subscription, and I might give it another try in a few more years.


title: Don't waste your time on this one.

text:
If you're looking for advertisements and NO substance, then this magazine is for you! All it is is ads, ads, ads for paints and silly knickknacks, mostly.

The tiny bit of 'substance' in the magazine is some nitwit giving his/her opinion on pointless things like whether or not using body sunscreen on your face is bad or not so bad.. it's really stupid, honestly.

I would not order this subscription again and I would not recommend it to anyone. If you're looking for a home building/design magazine, there are plenty of other subscriptions on the market that have good photos, good articles, and decent how-to advice. Skip this one.


title: Indeed!

text:
Super duper!

Inspiring. It makes me want to be filthy rich reading about all these ultra billionaires and millionaires and start ups and sensations.

I'm jealous.

text: First, editorially, it has gone to the dogs. Junk articles written to teen level with too many ads.<br />Second, was to receive digital and print versions and after three months and many emails to Amazon cs, have yet to receive digital edition


title: Like beer, tea, and coffee?

text: I recommend this for all drink enthusiasts -- key word, generically, "drink."  We are interested in everything from cheap wine to gourmet teas and experimental brews; we love to forage and make chaga tea; we like to learn new recipes and utilize things in our garden.  This, then, is the perfect magazine, with interesting articles, non-annoying advertisements, helpful recipes, and cool stories.  A fun read if you're into that sort of thing.


title: This is my favorite magazine EVER!

text:
The first time I read Entrepreneur Magazine, I was delighted. I thought, "These are my people! They think like I do, they are creative like I am, and they are determined to succeed like I am."

  I read so many stories about people who walked away from their regular jobs and lives to pursue their passion. I related to their stories because I had done the same. I resigned from my advertising sales job to publish my book, [[ASIN:1564148513 The Art of the Business Lunch: Building Relationships Between 12 And 2]]. I didn't know what the future would hold - but after many years, I am a successful, professional speaker and author. My book is now published in EIGHT languages worldwide.

  I love to read about the latest techno-gadgets and use Entrepreneur's great reviews when deciding on new equipment for my home office. I get inspired and impassioned for my work when I read about the people behind the small start-ups that have become tremendous - and I read every word to learn tips so that I can grow my business as well.

  If you want to quit the rat race, subscribe now! You will be hooked and want to become an Entrepreneur.


title: Love this magazine

text: Gives me so many great ideas.


title: Nice

text: Loaded with great ideas.


title: Great price, but bad timing!

text: The price is right @ $1 per issue, but the timing messed me up! I was being bugged relentlessly by Vogue to renew, but then this Amazon offer popped up and it was a better deal (Vogue & other mag's often 'punish' longtime faithful customers by offering better subscription rates to newcomers and raising rates for regular subscribers). What I didn't expect was immediate results - so now this Amazon order crisscrossed with my few remaining issues from my Vogue subscription, resulting in 2 magazines arriving for the past three issues. Usually it takes a long time for a subscription to be activated, so I didn't expect this to happen. For me, the savings have been diminished, but it's still a good deal. Just make sure you check to see if you have an ongoing subscription that hasn't really expired, even though the publisher might make you think that it has.


title: Beats the newsstand prices

text: Good pricing


title: Great car magazine for the ages.

text: A classic auto magazine.


title: Books

text: This book is a laugh it not what I excepted not enough for kids to even get intersted


title: Best mag at a low price

text: This has always been my favorite magazine and to get a whole year of it for just a few bucks was the best deal anywhere.

title: Love this magazine and price

text: I love this magazine and the price was great..


title: Beautifully Done Magazine

text: Very nice magazine. Having lived in England for several years, I do enjoy this magazine.


title: A gift subscription for a friend

text: What a great value during Prime Days. This is a gift subscription for a nature enthusiast and I know she'll enjoy this subscription.


title: Great healthy magazine.

text: I like this magazine a lot.  It has many colorful photographs of really wonderful recipes that are healthier for you.  I find it informative and up to date on what not to eat and what to eat.  Highly recommend.


title: Best Knitting Magazine on the Market

text: Vogue Knitting International is in my opinion the best knitting magazine on the Market. It's not too far out there with strange designs, but you get a good mixture of quality knitwear designs. I started out by getting subscriptions to other popular knitting magazines, and was disappointed in the lack of quality and the lack of really good designs. So I purchased a copy of Vogue Knitting and was instantly hooked. They have a good range of modern designs, classics, contemporary, and now and again knits with a vintage feel. You will get your money's worth with this magazine.


title: Check policy changes as well as seemingly reduced variety of information offered.  Still has goes articles

text: It's gone to 4 issues a year!!!  Also they seem to focus on one aspect of science for an issue.  In the past I liked it so much because I read it to see what was NEW in scientific endeavors as well as new products I might be interested in buying.  I cancelled my subscription because I did not like the direction the magazine seems to be heading.  I will check issues as they come out and if I am wrong I will subscribe again.  If you, reader, like what you see in your latest issue and am not put off by the 4 issues a year concept then by all means subscribe!  There is always good information in the magazine and well presented.


title: Best US Publication for me personally and expect it to be great for any landscape photographer as well.

text: I have found Outdoor Photography magazine to be the best for me of all USA based publications.  There are a lot of British ones that are excellent but they cost a lot more.  If you are a landscape photographer I recommend this magazine to you.


title: Just another boring Good Housekeeping now

text: This used to be a great magazine that was actually what the name of the magazine says. It was about organizing. Now it’s just like a more modern good housekeeping. They write this magazine to the lowest common denominator of intellect. There interesting ideas about organizing seem to be something that they’re not very interested in talking about anymore… I.e. not an interesting magazine anymore. I canceled it.


title: if you love British style, you will love this magazine!

text: Beautiful pictures! features many old/historical homes in the UK. Very relaxing and fun magazine!


title: real good news

text: nice to have


title: Ok

text: It’s good but charged me twice so I was gonna givethe as a gift but only one order showed up


title: Publisher has an agenda

text: When I ordered this magazine I thought I was getting a subscription to a business news publication.  Most of the stories are left-wing political rants with very little current business news.  The publisher obviously has an agenda.


title: Five Stars

text: i love this magazine


title: Where are my issues...?

text: I subscribed on Mar 3, 2006.  It said 6 issues/12 months.  Over a year has passed.  I received 2 issues.  Where are the other four?


title: Great Buy

text: I always read Reader's Digest growing up. I purchased this subscription for my son. He really enjoys it.


title: Dont like because Less articles and too many advertising pages

text: Was previously favorite magazine but now too many advertising pages


title: Great Gift for Car Lover

text: Renewed subscription for cousin who loves this magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: as expected!!!!


title: Surprised this is still being published

text: With information online these days, more and more physical publications are disappearing.  As a teenager I regularly picked up copies of hot rod magazine and enjoyed it.  I figured I would subscribe and re-live my youth.  Definitely thinner than I remember and not the quality of content that I recall being in issues of years past.  It’s cheap enough though that I’ll continue receiving it until they pull the plug on it which I would think isn’t too far into the future.

title: Compromisingly Unique

text: Saveur got a new Editor-in-Chief in 2006, when Colman Andrews (one of the original founding crew from the magazine's inception) stepped down after long-running battles with the new corporate ownership (World Publications out of Winter Park Florida.) Andrews was a curmudgeon, and a brilliant iconoclast.  For years, he refused to run an image of a turkey on the cover of the November issue, to the displeasure of the newsstand sales dept. He was replaced by James Oseland, a contributor and Associate Editor at the magazine (one of his first acts was to run a picture of a turkey on the cover of the November issue - get it?) Saveur has fallen on tough times. Since most ad budgets for the food category are gobbled up by Rachel Ray, Gourmet, BonAppetit, Food and Wine and the like, Saveur is left with table scraps, and issues are skinny. Photography and art direction have always been first rate, and Oseland builds on this tradition with his passion for food photos that border on pornography, they are so luscious) But a shift in focus from Andrews' euro-centric vision to Oseland's more pan-asian outlook (he is the author of an excellent book on Indonesian cuisine, "Spice Islands") leaves something in translation as these themes don't resonate as heartily with Saveur's core audience.  But he does seem to be attracting some younger, more urban readers. (Somehow, images of sweaty, grimy cooks behind-the-scene in a Bombay restaurant doesn't stir my soul for Indian food, though.) There is one bright spot - a greater focus on Asia has lightened up Saveur's previous artery-clogging fare. The editorial staff write for themselves mainly, so if you share their vision, then you'll love Saveur. (A special issue in 2007 was all about Chicago for instance, which happens to be Oseland's home town.) And other reviewers are spot-on about the recipes - if you don't live in NYC, you'll have trouble handily finding ingredients such as chicken feet, although they do reference websites for you to source things via mail-order. Wine coverage since Andrews left has been improving but still not back to where it should be - Oseland isn't a wine drinker, and wine stories compete for precious editorial space in these lean times for magazine advertising.  I give Saveur high marks for uniqueness.  If you do subscribe, broaden your palette and pair Saveur's mineral, flinty undertones with a more practical, off-dry recipe holder such as Bon Appetit, Southern Living, or even Everyday with Rachel Ray (especially if you are the type that likes to hit the "Easy" button!)


title: Please cancel!!

text: I was surprised to see this subscription offer but wanted to get back into Sweeping.  I am very happy with the subscription and it started promptly.


title: Pamphlet not magazine

text: Thought it would be a quality magazine. Turns out to be a few page pamphlet. Definitely not worth the money.


title: Interesting magazine.

text: Interesting articles on dogs. Maybe not a lot of new information if you are well versed in canines but if you are in love with dogs reading about them I quite enjoyable whether information I new or jut a refresher.

title: For $50+ a year go buy a video game instead

text: I used to love entertainment weekly when it had depth to the articles and reviews that I agreed with. Now it seems to focus on who can pay the most to get their "ad" item in. The only part I was reading by the end of my subscription was the bullseye page on the back.

title: $5 for a jam packed, quality magazine. Can't beat it.

text: I grabbed a subscription to this magazine for my mother and she loves it. At only $5 for a subscription and full of seasonal tips, tricks, and ideas you can't go wrong. I have already been given new opinions about paint colors.  Don't be fooled by the $5 cost either. This is a high quality, commercially printed magazine. As far as the recurring subscription goes(always be sure to check if you are auto subscribed! ESPECIALLY for magazines), it's simple to opt out. Just go to "Account & Lists" scroll down to "Memberships & Subscriptions". You then go to the section labeled, "Don't see your subscription? Take me to my...", tab over one page to the "Magazine Subscription Editor" and then select "auto-renewal settings" and "turn off"

title: Renews without approval

text: I bought a 6 months subscription for my granddaughter.  The magazine have nice photography but really did not hold her interest enough to be worth another 6 months.  They are extremely thin for the price.  I can get her a year membership for the zoo or aquarium for that price.  Now they want to latch on a further subscription I did not approve!  That is unethical.

title: Another cancelled order...

text: As others have stated, probably not a great idea to order Nat Geo through Amazon.  I placed my order in June and received a cancellation e-mail from them today.  If Amazon can't fill the subscriptions at this price, they shouldn't be offering it.  Great magazine, just don't order it here.


title: My favorite magazine

text: The new one do not show as much as they did before


title: It is what it is.

text: I enjoy it for the articles...really. OK, no I don't. I enjoy it because it has some good reading in it usually AND it has good pictorials of attractive women that range somewhere between Playboy and Hustler in terms of content.

text: Recipes are very hard to make. They want you to go and collect exotic spices and other items which are not available at most supermarkets.

title: The Second BEST cooking magazine I have.

text: Just received this and for the first time, ordered it through Amazon. Took less than 4 weeks to get started. That's not bad. It's one of the only 2 cooking magazines I order. This one is my second  favorite. The seasonal cook books are great too. The other is TASTE OF HOME. It's a great, pretty practical cooking magazine.


There are few magazines that are simple and worth reading.  Most magazines articles are not worth  the paper they are printed on.  They only show pictures of food, clothes, houses, etc.  These magazines are published to make you buy more "stuff" that you truly don't need. This magazine helps to inspire you to read material that really matters.  This magazine helps to make you a better person.


title: About the only magazine I have found

title: Only for the wealthy/Tiny print

text: I had to cancel my subscription because the articles and reviews focus on products that most cannot afford. Sure I enjoy reading and dreaming about $35,000 turntables and $200,000 speakers, but how does that help me if I can't afford it. I have been a so-called audiophile for the past 35+ years and have had subscriptions to Stereophile Magazine on and off during that life span. What I noticed is that the equipment that is reviewed is increasingly becoming more exotic and outrageously expensive and that nobody has ever heard of ?  If I did win the Lotto, I would not know where to go to audition this equipment, because it is so exotic. Not only that, the print in this magazine is so small, I am relegated to using a magnifying-glass just to read it due to my aging eyes. I wish publishers would take into consideration the aged as well as the young, but it's all about saving space for full-color ads.


title: Five Stars

text: The large print make this a KEEPER + the stories are heart-warming.


title: more magazine

text: As magazines go it's good. Some useful info and product suggestions for we mature women. good reading.


title: Great magazine for German Americans

text:
I saw this wonderful magazine at the newsstand. I liked it so much I sent in my subscription immediately. I look forward to each issue and read it from cover to cover. There are articles on notable German, Swiss, and Austrian destinations, customs, and events as well as articles featuring German American points of interest. The photography is great. The book reviews are always informative. I usually end up making the featured recipe and many have been excellent. German Life is a wonderful magazine for all German Americans interested in their heritage; a real gem.

Some of my fellow reviewers complain that the magazine's articles aren't substantive. Hogwash! I cannot believe the smallness of some people. I truly appreciate the succinctness of the features. If you want a tome on German culture, visit the library.


title: Brief Critique of Polish American Journal

text:
The Polish American Journal is published monthly in newspaper format out of Boston, New York near Buffalo. The journal presents news and information regarding Poland and American Polonia from a very conservative, traditionalistic point of view. This is a folksy paper geared towards the Polish American blue hairs who still attend functions down at the struggling Dom Polski so you won't ever find any articles critical of Poland. While one would not expect a Polish American paper to present Poland and Polonia in a negative light, many of the most chauvinistic, parochial attitudes associated with Polish Catholic ethno-nationalism, including a certain degree of anti-Jewish bias, can be found in the pages of the PAJ. The paper advertises that it provides features by "Polonia's finest academicians and historians" however subscribers will instead find the paper's actual writers rarely measure up to those credentials. They can, however, usually be counted on to present news and opinion from very conservative and far-right points of view. For example, articles regularly appear in the PAJ in support of hyper-catholic, ultra-nationalistic Radio Maryja, which is so extreme it even rankles the conservative Polish Catholic Church and the Vatican. Letters to the editor asking that the paper present the news in a more moderate, objective voice are ignored.

Of course, the Polish American Journal does have its good points. Readers are able to keep current with what's going on down at the Polish embassy and what new polka CD's and books are out. There's also plenty of apolitical features on traditions and holidays. So while I do recommend the PAJ, I caution potential subscribers that they will be getting only a very conservative slant on Polish current events and history.


title: Brief Critique of The Sarmatian Review

text:
The Sarmatian Review is an academic journal published three times per year by the Polish Institute of Houston at Rice University. The dearth of information on Poland in the U.S. makes The Sarmatian Review a must for all serious students of Poland. However, the publication does have its faults. Many of the articles are devoted to topics drier than the Bledow Desert. Also, as one might expect, many of the articles are written in flagrant academese and are barely discernable.

Perhaps most disturbing is the journal's decidedly chauvinist, right-wing editorial bent. I've noticed many, many pro-Kaczynski, anti-liberal quips in the Sarmation Review since subscribing in 2006. Of course, this is not surprising to anyone familiar with the Endekian leanings of American Polonia. However, my jaw dropped while reading ""People's Poland" in the Third Polish Republic" by Barbara Fedyszak-Radziejowska (April, 2010) in which the author, an obvious Kaczynskiite, compares the centrist Civic Platform Party to the PRL! I have never read such reactionist nonsense in my entire life.

While Fedyszak-Radziejowska fumbles for an explanation for PO's popularity among Poland's "elites" by making slanderous comparisons to the PZPR, it's extremely easy to understand why the hyper-nationalistic, ultra-catholic, xenophobic, Germanophobic, anti-European, Radio Maryja-endorsed, conspiracy-driven rhetoric of the Kaczynskis and PiS wouldn't appeal to Poland's educated, urban voters.

In its defense, the review does run some very interesting articles at times, the data sheet is often entertaining despite a regular right-wing slant on the numbers, and the book reviews are often informative. But as I wrote before, the review is strictly for the serious Polish enthusiast. All others will find it insufferably chauvinistic and boring.

Postscript: After receiving the Sarmatian Review for several years I finally allowed my subscription to lapse. The chauvinist right-wing, neo-nationalist editorial bent and boring articles were too much.

The magazine has really evolved over the years. Oddly, the subscription version seems much thinner than that sold on the shelves. It doesn't feel quite as good or display as nice. I'd be willing to pay a little extra for the same thing they sell on the newsstand. Still, excellent work to all involved. Keep it up and I'll keep subscribing!

title: This is PS Magazine?

text:
I haven't picked up a PS in a long time and what I have read thus far is not very good. Many of the articles I read were written by the modern day journalist; poor grammar, lousy editing, and lame activist kinds of vernacular. If you like your science with herd mentality, emotion, propaganda, and hyperbole then PS is for you. It is sad to see the politicization of science.

I don't know who is running that magazine but since my order I have only received two issues since April of this year. It appears their subscription department must be run by millenials too.

title: One Magazine Where You'll Actually Make the Dish You Read About

text:
Taste of Home is one of the few magazines with recipes you'll want to cut out for future use, and the only one where you'll actually use that recipe.  All of the meals in the magazine are simple for average cooks to succeed with. While no one will find every recipe useful, or even in their realm of eating, every issue will have several recipes for anyone's tastes.

The magazine is well edited, well reviewed and the recipes have suggestion that can make them as individual as the cooks.  Since each has clear instructions, a clear ingredient list and excellent photos of what the dish can look like (It never does, home cooks don't have food stylists...) the recipes are easy for anyone with basic kitchen skills to execute.


title: good magazine for kids

text: My daughter like cricket a lot


title: Five Stars

text: My great granddaughter loves the magazine.


title: Hit or miss

text: Let's be honest, the internet has kind of ruined magazines. Every other issue had something I enjoyed. Mostly it felt like a printed blog. The tip of the iceberg maybe, or just something for the coffee table. I'm not trying to be a troll, as I do like the ideas behind much of it and the pictures... I admire the visually stimulating art work that it contains. In addition to the photography I like the drawn adds, those are fun to look over when they appear. It's very comforting to peruse and leaves you content visually. But the meat and potatoes, writing, landed somewhere between Southern/Country Living's Showcase style ("Get to know Lucy and her life as a self funded stay at home parent of 3 dogs, 2 goats, and a sheep in 5 paragraphs and 3 pages of staged pictures, also learn how she refreshed a 100 year old house with paint from behind the barn and a keen design eye that matches what we like") and weaker articles about collectioning things. It's just that there always seemed to be a lot left out. Our library has a subscription. I'll probably just stick to that unless an issue has something truly riviting, then I would buy just that issue for my reference. We bought my father in law a subscription as he is a perpetual dabbler of all things farm and he enjoys getting ideas from it. A nice gift, but not something I'd rebuy for myself.

title: This is a fun to read magazine

text: I like this magazine.  I have yet to tackle many of the projects in my first few issues, but I did find some handy tips.  I am new at doing many carpentry projects or other home improvement tasks and this magazine provides simple and easy to understand tips on how to do things in a logical way.  My only gripe is the magazine is very  slim in content and could provide more information per month.


title: Publishing on an old format to a marketing susceptible readership

text: I have subscribed to Wired in the past and have found that its articles seem to have gone more main stream when compared to other sources. Furthermore, it is so advertisement heavy and aimed at a middle/upper income  consumer market. The ratio to information to marketing persiflage continues to make it unattractive for the future. The cap is useful, internationally, where there is so much clothing being dumped that logo merchandise is meaningless and functionality is the measure.


title: Entertaining and informative

text: Great magazine. I look forward to each issue. Great articles.


title: I hope you get well soon

text: Man, a family handyman must be one sick dude. There are so many ads for diseases that I've never, ever heard of that now I'm convinced I have. The articles are cool. I like seeing the new tools and tips for making a project easier.


title: Great for education

title: On time arrival

text: Sent as a gift to my adult daughter. A great magazine to read that promotes stimulating, well timed,  and informed debates about the current issues on the national and international arena.


title: gift subscription

text: This is one of my old standby magazines. Nothing fancy but it has lots of up to date content. suitable for a nice gift.


title: An old standby

text: This is one of my old standby magazines. Nothing fancy but it has lots of up to date ideas and down to earth recipes.


title: nothing modern

text: Just more of the same patterns available everywhere. I didn't find anything new or exciting.  I also dislike when you order a magazine and they send out the past 2 issues at the same time as the current one.  I got three of my years subscription within a week.


title: Best Magazine Ever!

text: I just turned 25 and was looking for a magazine to help me simplify my life, organize my apartment, give me some cooking tips, etc - the stuff you don't learn in college.  This magazine does the job perfectly!  This magazine is chock full of tips to help you save money, time and energy from everything from cooking and cleaning to parenting and hosting a party.  It addresses every day issues (how to stop your sink from dripping) to life issues (secrets to a happy marriage from couples who have been married at least 50 years).  I think it's a must for recent college grads and would be very enjoyable to everyone else!  Let's face it - who couldn't use some tips on how to make their life real simple?!  Some of the products they review can be on the pricier side but they give you cheap alternatives as well, which is great for someone like me!  Buy it for your sister, girlfriend, wife, best friend, mother and/or grandmother - they will not be disappointed!  This is the only magazine that I can't recycle after reading it because every issue has too much useful information!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine, too bad it's no longer in print.


title: Young collector found a lot to like

text: Great gift, all books diff enough to all count to young collector


title: Good recipes

text: Enjoyed browsing through the various items.


title: Five Stars

text: awesome seller and great product. thank you


title: Better than Horticulture magazine

text: It is more down-to-earth and every issue has some terrific ideas that I feel I could actually implement (Use a string trimmer and trash can to mulch leaves; why you shouldn't plant even heat-tolerant plants at midday; how to pick a a good, healthy plant at a garden center...)  A friend loaned me her copies and I found so much useful information, that I didn't want to give them back.  Asked for a subscription for Christmas.  Love reading it -- get all sorts of good ideas.


title: Highly Recommend!

text: This magazine covers a wide range of things that pertain to women's health such as beauty products that are good for your skin, healthy recipes, tips to deal with stress, etc.  I would not consider it an exercize magazine as some people thought it would be and were disappointed. Yes it contains tips and workout routines, but this is not the focus of the magazine.  If you are looking for a magazine that covers many topics that relate to a healthy lifestyle, this is the magazine for you.  Another magazine I love and would recommend is Cooking Light.


title: Some interesting content, but not that great

text:
I like to do a lot of my own work around the house and almost always have a project of some kind in progress. Well this magazine does have some interesting tips and project ideas, most of it is kind of useless and some things are pretty poorly written.

An example of a useless article is one that gave all these "helpful" tips for around the house. One was to put a lazy susan on your counter and put your olive oil and such on it. Kind of a stupid tip as a lazy susan would look pretty ugly on the counter and would be of dubious value as far as getting to bottles easily especially when you factor in all the wasted counter space compared to just putting the bottles themselves there. A couple pages later another tip, put a lazy susan in your refrigerator... seems like the same crappy tip only it wastes space in the fridge where it's even more precious. This magazine is filled with a lot of things like that and is really geared towards the much older crowd.

As I said some of the project ideas aren't bad and some of the product reviews seem somewhat helpful, but I even have a little trouble trusting their expertise in the reviews based on some of the other clueless things that they say.

One other thing that kind of bothered me is that they sent me an issue that was supposedly a special extra large issue with a note that it counted as 2 issues from my subscription because it was so  much extra content. This was kind of annoying as I paid for a certain number of issues and they take it on themselves to reduce that amount based on this "special" issue that was actually only 20 pages longer then the issue before it. There was something in there saying I could contact them if I didn't agree with it and presumably be credited another issue, but I don't really have the time to waste dealing with a trivial thing like that. I know the subscription isn't super expensive or anything but I don't like being ripped off like that even if it is only a small amount of money.

I won't be re-subscribing


title: Looks like Handyman and I aren't getting off to the best ...

text: I bought a subscription through Amazon back in early December 2014 and am told my first issue won't show before March 2015. Looks like Handyman and I aren't getting off to the best start, plusI bought the 101 Saturday Morning Progects book published by Handyman and it was comparable to a very basic starter manual for first time home owners or renters, a waste of my money. Hope the monthly is more for the advanced project specialists like myself.


title: Recommend to purchase

text: Great magazine with lost of good information & beautiful pictures


title: Great magazine... I'll be a subscriber for life

text: Love this magazine


title: Cancelling

text: I used to get this magazine years ago, and decided to try the kindle version, because I love collecting recipes. It's changed a bit.  There are a lot more ads, and I don't like the recipes as much. Despite the number of ads, it still has many recipes. Will be cancelling though, since I don't care for those recipes.  I also signed up for the trial of their Simple and Delicious magazine, and will be keeping that one.

text: Reviewing the january 2013 issue.... 113 pages... 60 pages are ads... 16 pages are cover shoots to promote products, so 76 pages of ads... 16 more pages of poses with ZERO content.  4 pages of a story introduction with no content..so basically right off the bat we are at 96 pages of worthlessness.  Take a look yourself!  I mean your paying for NOTHING!  Im paying $1.00 per month for what?... 17 pages of print?  WOW!  what a ripoff!

title: Delivery handling

text: On January 4th, I deliberately ordered two subscriptions of Ask to be delivered to my home address to be given as gifts to two brothers.  The first subscription arrived on time.  There were no signs of the second, nor was my Visa charged for almost two months.  I was told that somebody "assumed" that I'd mistakenly double-ordered and never conveyed the second subscription order to the publisher. By then, I'd bought a replacement gift for the kid who didn't get the magazine as a Christmas gift.  Since then, 15 emails have been exchanged between Amazon's magazine service people and me.  Five months after the original order was placed, the situation still isn't straightened out.  Though I'll never understand exactly what transpired, it is very evident from the responses of the service people that few if any bothered to read the email thread that stated the problem repeatedly.  All in all, this experience has been a royal pain!

text: My grandkids love these as I did when I was a kid.

title: Basic subscription rip-off

text: I ordered a subscription to this for someone. He received ONE ISSUE and a notice that it was time to RENEW HIS SUBSCRIPTION!! So I thought - fine - I'll just to to amazon and find out how to contact the magazine to fix this..............but there is no way to contact them that I can see. This has happened to me several times with subs I have purchased on Amazon. I simply gave up altogether on Archeology, which sent me two copies of the same issue and THEN the renewal notice. But this is a gift for someone else. And this isn't working, guys.


title: Great DIY helper magazine

text: Great DIY helper magazine. Usually has a longer article about one thing in particular. This month was about building a shed. Would have been helpful.


title: Five Stars

text: great help enjoy reading


title: Lucky to Find It

text: Dynamite.  Great material, usually well written, though the authors often assume I know more about what they're writing about than I do.  Inspiring when they speak of how readily they can return the Earth to her natural fecund state from the tattered shambles humans have left Her in.  Amazoo should also include the North American edition.  When they released the North American version all the local stores stopped carrying the European edition, so I was lucky to be able to turn to Amazoo (assuming I actually get the European edition and not a second copy of the North American version - Amazoo isn't particularly careful about their product descriptions).  The two editions have complementary contents, and they're only quarterly, so both is better than either by itself.


title: Bargain

text: Same great product at a fabulous price. Subscription was extended existing subscription without a hitch. Price was substantially less than special deals that I have found elsewhere. I'm going to auto renew because I don't believe the price can be beat!


title: Gave as a gift

text: Gave this as a gift to a new photog hound. He likes it and is learning all the tricks of the trade.

title: Such lovely photos!

title: Nothing exceptional

text: The mag is filled with ads. The cars featured are not really interesting.  It is still a teenagers window to the world of could be.


title: Mostly ads, but some locale information

text: I subscribed to the magazine since we are going to spend time in Texas May 2013. Wanted information on local color and different places to visit. First issue was an okay start.


title: A very classy magazine

text: The magazine actually is about New Mexico. Articles are well written. It will help in the trip there this spring.


title: 56 pages of photographers work

text: We are planning to visit Arizona. I remembered seeing  copies of Arizona Highways describing the state. I ordered the magazine 9/15/12. The first copy arrived 11/19/12. The December issue has 56 pages. Everyone a professional photograph of southwest images. No information about Arizona life or places. Zero usefullness. Maybe future issues will be about Arizona.


title: Fishing and Hunting magazine

text: I thought this would be about the great Colorado outdoors that I could use for an upcoming 1 month Colorado vacation. It is primarily a hunting and fishing magazine. I am a photographer.


title: get it

text: great hiking magazine that will not disappoint .... check it out


title: umm

text: i thought this was a magazine that would tell me how to be classy. and it does that but having that pit-boss guy on the cover of my first issue was kind of disheartening. OF COURSE HE HAS A CUSTOM SUIT! dont try and sell me on a tailored suit by using a dwarf that still looks like he went to the children's section at JC Penny


title: Five Stars

text: Great Mag!


title: Ok

text: Love the magazine. Although the ads make up entirely too much of it.


title: Nice magazine for the price, but skin-deep reviews and weeks behind on the latest news

text:
The Good

--------

* This is a nice magazine for the price.

* It has some informative articles, which maybe useful to newcomers to photography in general or the digital aspects of photography.

* If you are getting started in photography, or you are at a beginner/amateur level, this magazine can be very helpful as a stepping stone

* If you are an experienced amateur/pro, you can still like this magazine, but don't expect many in-depth/advanced topics.

* The Monthly Lens reviews are helpful to SLR/DSLR users

* For people who like to flip through magazines and even look at ads from different vendors, this is a good resource.

The Not so good

---------------

* The technical reviews of digital cameras are skin-deep compared to the in-depth technical reviews by the online photography sites (such as dpreview).

* Sometimes the reviews are word-smithed in such a way that they avoid saying negative things, so -at times- you have to pick-up on what is not said in the review in order to figure out if there's something wrong with a product.

* The "News" are 4-12 weeks behind real time.

* If you expect in-depth or pro-level articles, those are rare.

Consumer beware segment

-----------------------

Towards the back of the magazine there are plenty of ads from various mail-order vendors. Some of them are very reputable, honorable and reliable vendors such as B&H and J&R.

However, some other vendors are less than stellar - to put it in mildly. You will recognize them by the too-good-to-be-true super-low prices, and they usually practice "bait & switch" among other things. These have been documented on various websites and photography forums. If you are not familiar with all these, and you see prices that are very low, you may want to do some research before purchasing.

text: Mostly advertisements


title: Lots of great information for novice writers

text: I like to think that someday I will write the great Texan novel, but I have no idea about writing, publishing or any of those things.  I have a story in my head and this magazine helps me in the construction of my novel and what I need to consider should I hope to publish it.


title: For my Mom

text: I ordered this magazine for my Mom has additional reading material during this quarantine.  She really likes the large print and all the interesting stories.


title: Not like OLD READERS DIGEST ://

text: Chinese??


title: They've gone downhill

text: It used to be that the center of the magazine contained recipe cards on near-cardstock.  Now the "cards" are gone and in their place are recipes on regular magazine paper. Plus, advertisements used to be non-existant in the magazine, and I LOVED that. Now the pharmaceutical companies are pitching their drugs with ads that take up a full front and back of a page. In the most recent issue, Easy-Off oven cleaner has a full page add, and miscellaneous food/products have claimed spots in the magazine. It doesn't seem that the magazine has added pages to compensate for the ads, so that means less space for the articles and recipes. Sorry, but I just don't think I want to bother with it anymore.


title: Great magazine.

text: This is my only newsweekly magazine, and I love it. Unbiased, brief, clear writing. Been a subscriber for 8 years.


title: My favorite magazine

text: Bloomberg Businessweek is the only magazine I still subscribe to. It's like "People" but instead of silly movie stars and performers, the stories are about the movers and shakers who make our world what it is, and also about all of things in it — supply chain, manufacturing, design, fashion—it's all there. BBW digs deep and writes some of the most engrossing stories you will find. AND, as an added bonus, you can read it in the bathtub!


title: a great read

text: I just received my first issue of Science News.  It is so interesting.  I'm reading it cover to cover.  If you like science, this is the magazine to read.


title: Lot's of ideas. Too many ads... ...

text: Lot's of ideas.  Too many ads... lol.


title: Good value, good reading

text: This was a perfect gift for my husband. He loves Readers Digest. And the large print is a must. Great value. You really get your money's worth.


title: this magazine used to be great,now it is mostly ads and half the size,do not waste your money!

text: magazine is not worth buying anymore,keeps getting smaller in pages every year and to many sales adds compared to the actual fishing info!


title: not worth the money

text: very thin magazine and not worth the money! not a very good magazine period for learning anything about fly fishing except for expensive items to buy and rich places to fish! do not like the magazine at all and will not buy again!


title: At least the new editor is better than the old one

text:
Currently (as of Feb. 2014), Susan Spencer is the editor. This is a great improvement over Elizabeth Mayhew, who took over as editor for Jane Chesnutt and served in that role from 2010 to 2012. Although I like the new editor much better than Mayhew, this magazine still isn't as compelling as it once was (pre-2010).

There are some decorating articles which are always my favorite, as well as lots of recipes, a few health-related articles, at least one article on clothing / outfits, and usually a few life stories (human interest stories). Over all, this article is a quick-read - you can get through the entire magazine in one sitting in about half an hour. I think the target demographic for this magazine might be women ages 35 to 65 years old. For example, there is usually at least one article related to coping with senior parents.

While this is not a bad magazine, you may be better served by subscribing to a magazine that more closely matches your specific interests and hobbies.


title: Husband loves this magazine!

text:
I bought this magazine for my husband and I to enjoy. He loves the magazine and always finds at least one project per issue that he wants to do. Sometimes it's a big project and other times it's a tiny project.

I enjoy this magazine as well, although since I'm less handy, I rarely feel confident enough to make the projects on my own. It's still a pleasant read though, and still has good ideas. Plus, I usually find at least one product mentioned in each issue that I didn't know about before and that I want to locate at a hardware store and buy. So, in terms of making me aware of products that I didn't know existed, this magazine is helpful.

My husband has already requested that I renew our subscription :).


title: I love this magazine!

text:
The mark of a good magazine might be having a good editor. Newell Turner is excellent as an editor! I find myself frequently agreeing with him about almost everything.

I love the following things about House Beautiful:
the organization and logical, recurring placement of articles
the themes
the "I love my Bed" article
the instant color palette article
the color articles
the "I'm looking for a..." article
the low price

The only thing I would change would be to potentially print this magazine on a higher quality paper. This stuff is not great for clipping out and saving because it is so thin. However, if this paper keeps the subscription price low, then by all means continue to use it!

To summarize, I am one very content subscriber!


title: Love the content, hate the tiny font

text:
I usually enjoy about three of the articles in this magazine, which makes it worth the price of the magazine to me. I find particular enjoyment in the house and organization articles.

However, is it just me or is this magazine plainly hard to read on the subway? Its large size and heft make it a little bit of a drag on my shoulder to carry in my purse. Plus, its small font size makes me have to place my face a little too close for comfort to the page in order to read it. I wear contact lenses so I don't have "bad eyes". I think I have normal eyes, and yet, this font is uncomfortable to read because of its small font size.

In summary, I enjoy this magazine a lot, but prefer House Beautiful for its easy-to-read font size and ease of carrying (not too heavy/bulky). True, I get less content with House Beautiful, but that magazine also costs less on Amazon, which makes up for it in my opinion.


title: A fun magazine, but going downhill

text:
This is relatively light reading. Don't expect detailed plans for how to implement any of the ideas shown. However, I usually get at least a couple good ideas of out each issue. I prefer this magazine to Martha Stewart Living, which is more food-focused. Don't get me wrong - there are still plenty of food recipes in each issue of Country Living. However, it's a nice balance between articles on food, decor, DIY/crafts, flowers, and entertaining.

UPDATE: I used to look forward to receiving my issues in the mail. However, the magazine seems to be going in a new direction. One part of that is focusing more on older items, such as expensive vintage items I could never afford to buy. Another part is focusing on rustic items with patina, but to me, the items just look rusty and neglected. Those gruff items are pricey too. I don't want to fill my home with a bunch of nonsense items. That includes the nature-inspired items such as taxidermy. I'm not sure what is going on with this magazine to be honest. It's still somewhat enjoyable to read, but I may not renew my subscription.


title: Fabulous magazine

text: We love this magazine. So informative, well-written, fascinating and surprisingly relevant. The photos are fabulous. I often find that topics I hear about on WNYC were first printed in National Geographic.


title: Family Fun

text:
I've got a new Teen (girl) and Tween boy and they love MAD magazine.  It's at exactly their level.  Goofy humor and all.

The adore SPY vs SPY, and the various 'Mad Looks at' pieces.

I happen to like that the kids feel like they're being exposed to something edgy, but it's mostly all within PG-13 bounds.  (There is some edge which makes this magazine possibly inappropriate for younger readers.  To give you an example, in THE MAD 20 DUMBEST PEOPLE, EVENTS & THINGS OF 2013, item #13 is Russia Passes Anti-Gay Laws --- because 'Russia's National Destiny can Only Be Imperiled By Two Dudes Kissing'.  My husband and I are cool with this as it gives us a chance to discuss our family's values. Other families I know would rather drink the kool-aid than discuss this topic.)

So it's great for us.  Funny things to entertain, and conversation starters.

title: Unparalleled Magazine

text:
In this digital age, I get most of my news information online; I recently cancelled my subscriptions to Newsweek and Time, because they simply don't match the breadth of information I can receive online.  The one print subscription I still maintain -- and will continue to maintain until they rip it from my cold, dead hands! -- is National Geographic.

Why is National Geographic a must-have item in my household?  This magazine offers something that no other continues to do: in-depth journalism, coverage of global issues, and stunning photography.  Unlike many magazines, which tried to shorten content to "digestible" sizes to appeal to digital readers with short attention spans, National Geographic has done the opposite.  Each issue contains articles that are several pages long, requiring months of research and planning.  The journalists capture, with vivid detail, the experience of being in a particular place at a particular time, reporting objectively but gripping the reader nonetheless.  And, oh, the photography!  From large photographic spreads to smaller, thumbnail-sized frames, each photographic demonstrates sheer artistry.

I also love the global scope of National Geographic magazine.  Its content covers history, psychology, evolutionary biology, ecology, anthropology, geopolitics, astronomy, technology, and more.  From an article on an early Antarctic expedition to an in-depth look at the encroachment of oil companies on some of Ecuador's last remaining unspoiled rainforest, National Geographic offers unparalleled breadth and depth of coverage.

I could go on, but suffice it to say that I look forward to this magazine's arrival every month.  No matter what your background or areas of interest, National Geographic is sure to have something to capture your imagination.  Enjoy!

title: Cigarette ads? In a science magazine?

text: Magazine is good, but I plan on canceling my subscription after finding cigarette ads inside. I have no intention of exposing my kids to cool-looking fools wasting their lives and their health on tobacco. I seriously can't believe PopSci would stoop so low for funding. I expected more from a scientific magazine that often covers health topics. If you've found yourself similarly dissatisfied with the ads, I would suggest emailing their editorial board and letting them know. Their emails are all available on the PopSci site.
