title: 'Man's' magazine

text:
I had always heard that GQ was great men's magazine, so I decided to give it a try. Whether the fault of GQ themselves or Amazon I don't know, as reported by others they certainly seem to be infrequent on delivery dates.

As for the content, far too many ads. The first one I received was almost entirely ads, close to 90% I would say, I chalked it up to maybe a spring issue thing for all the new stuff for the year. Next one was only slightly better, down to maybe 80%. Obviously still too much, but an improvement.

On the content itself, who is wearing most of this trash? I am not the most stylish man ever, but I know how to wear a suit and what colors go together and the difference between a brogue and a wingtip. Most of what they advertise is the most stupid looking clothing I've ever seen, if this is what they think is what men should wear than clearly they don't know what they are talking about.

I also find it completely disgusting that a 'man's' magazine is going to tell me that there is such a thing as 'toxic masculinity'. If you're going to claim to be for men, act like it. Keep your politics to yourself.

In summary: I am highly disappointed in the quality of nearly every single aspect of this purchase and product. I would never recommend it to anyone for any reason other than toilet paper id you ran out while hunting. I have canceled on their main website and left this review here to hopefully dissuade others from making the same mistake I made. If you want quality men's content, I can think of several far better sources.


title: Too much politics and not enough adventures

text: Unreadable anymore


title: The best of the South

text: Outstanding recipes (I want to make them all!) and interesting articles about great destinations south. Have been reading this magazine for many years, including the one’s I borrowed from my mom. Favorites include the delicious coconut cake recipe.


title: Tea Time Magazine

text: The magazine is excellent.  Beautiful photography and great recipies.  I'm also impressed with Amazon's/magazine's customer service as I received my first issue within 4 weeks' time.


title: Real reviews, awesomely witty writing

text: After reading Car you will be left thinking that english is not the first language of the writers of the US based magazines.  The articles are intelligent, clever, and funny.  Furthermore, they are not afraid of losing advertisers by saying just how bad a car really is - - even when they are british cars.  Naturally if you are a big fan of Detroit, this is not the magazine for you.  Expensive, but worth it.


title: Magazine Subscribers STILL have to pay for website!

text: This is really a grab for money.  I have a subscription to the magazine but to use the recipes online they want another $6.99 every month!  My subscription to Hulu is cheaper!


title: 12-year old Science-lover LOVES this

text: Gifts that continue to arrive each month are always fun for kiddos and my 12-year old, science-loving nephew gave this gift 2 thumbs up. His interest level is far beyond childrens' science magazines and this is not too advanced for his knowledge level.


title: This magazine is a total waste of time!

text: I thought by this magazine's title that it would be useful to myself and wife in the rearing of our kids.  However, the magazine as other reviews have stated is just a bunch of ads with very few articles.  Terrible rag, I canceled my subscription and now use the issues I have for my litter box!


title: What a hit!

text: Our grandsons (3 &4) LOVE this.


title: Five Stars

text: Great mag for kitty lovers.


title: This National Geographic Magazine is Interesting

text: This magazine is nothing like many of the other National Geographic magazines, it has virtually no adds. Cover to cover the articles in this magazine provide interesting facts of certain points history. The articles are not based on any agenda, just a presentation of people, places, and things from the past. I really enjoyed an article about the last days of the Romanovs. One the few magazines that I enjoy reading cover to cover.


title: PERFECT

text: Architectural Digest is my favorite magazine.  I can read them over and over and I never throw them away.  It's a beautiful escape from my normal surroundings, and it's so much fun to dream.


title: Not pleased

text: I ordered it for my son in county jail and by the time you delivered he was out of jail, I tried to cancel even before you delivered but to no success . So I paid for a magazine for other jail inmates to enjoy.


Outstanding magazine. Great photography and articles referencing innovative design.


title: The cover here looks great, but I didn't much  find the contents of the magazine to be stimulating or particularly inspiring.

text: This is generally my problem with art magazines.  I have better luck with instructive videos when it comes to painting and drawing.


title: Love Esquire, Always Did.  Great zine for women

text: Esquire is very informative, and if you're a woman and want to know how and what men this, this is your answer.


title: Great magazine

text: This magazine has some great ideas for your home.


title: Truth in News!  WOW!

text: For anybody who is interested in facts rather than "spin", this is for you.  Only mag I read.  Trust is a good thing!


title: One Star

text: i did not order this


title: Horrible

text: This most disgusting piece of filth illuminati magazine I've ever seen. It was a complete waste of money and I'm disappointed with myself for making the decision to buy this garbage.


title: Five Stars

text: I love this magazine! I enjoy making new things for my family to eat.


title: All Ads, Irrelevant Recipes and Poor Customer Service

text:
This magazine is CHOCK FULL of advertisements. The recipes are few and far between, and the few they do have are not really relevant to people who cook real food for a decent number of people (i.e. if you have a family, this magazine is not for you).

Now, if you're single, love advertisements and fluff pieces,  live in a sky-rise in L.A. and travel periodically just to try hip, new restaurants, then by all means, subscribe.

If you are a real cook and interested in improving your knowledge and skills, your money would be way better spent at Cook's Illustrated, America's Test Kitchen, or Cook's Country.

The worst part is that they outsourced their customer service to save money, so when I had a concern, I had to call multiple times to reach a representative who understood me. I was told mutiple times that I had no account with them. I gave my address - slowwwly - eight times before they were able to confirm my account. The language barrier was incredibly frustrating.

Oh, and BEWARE the automatic renewals!


title: No regrets

text: GH is a known quantity. No surprises here. Got a great deal (sub $2.50 after a coupon).


title: Excellent, as Expected

text: $5 for one year. Too good to pass up. TOH does a great job. I like the wide variety of relevant and interesting topics


title: Three Stars

text: Ok .


title: Great

text: but I wish I could order it on the ipad without the print version showing up... seems a waste to order the paper copy of the magazine just to toss it in the bin,.


title: Five Stars

text: Good quality!


title: a gift

text: Okay, I gave this 5 stars because I gave it to my son as a gift---he's been reading it for years and loves it.


title: Great for getting kids off devices (for a bit)

text: Came with in two weeks! They’re actually packed with cute articles and pictures! I read somewhere, that it had tons of ads but mine didn’t! I got two at once which was great considering I have two kiddos who BOTH want their own mail. This made them so happy. Overall great deal.


title: Best way to renew

text: Entertainment magazine wanted $58 for renewal but Amazon was only $20. Easy decision to make. This was for 1 year too. Always good to use Amazon for magazine purchases.


title: Only 8 issues per year

text: I've been a subscriber of this magazine for over 40 years. You used to get a new issue monthly and I looked forward to each and every issue. Then it changed to 10 issues per year and now it's down to only 8. Of course, the price remains the same. I got so used to not receiving it that it was hardly noticeable when I dropped my subscription.  The part the toasts me most is that I paid for a 3 year subscription when you got monthly magazines. Then they cut the number of magazines. What a rip. When I contacted the company they hardly seemed to care, and did nothing to rectify my situation.


title: I look forward to getting it every month. It ...

text: I look forward to getting it every month. It keeps me informed about healthy living, fashion, current events and many interesting articles.


title: Much improved over the years

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for many years and have seen it change and reinvent itself several times. The 2006-7 version is far superior to its older incarnations. The current version is an aviation history journal and does not cover "current events" in aviation which are reported in duplicate in many US and UK journals. I am also pleased that model aircraft are not covered as there are exellent model journals available. This is a nicely done and well illustrated historical journal and approaches but does not quite reach the excellence of the UK's Aeroplane Monthly.


title: HGTV magazine

text: A little disappointed. I expected to find far more useful tidbits and less advertising. Still got a couple of nuggets.


title: Decent magazine.

text: I like what's there, but would like more of it. Fairly thin magazine. Good articles, and with only one issue under my belt, seems to cover a decent number of species and styles. Not everyone fishes bass only. Would actually like a few more ads for fishing gear. Can't believe I wished for more ads.


title: Not the standard it once was

text: I subscribed to this as a gift for my elderly aunt who loves it.  It's slanted towards a particular narrative now - much more so than in it's glory days.  The lack of objectivity in it's current form makes it more fictional and polarizing.


title: Love it

text: Like everything.


title: Four Stars

text: Like the Articles


title: What new shows are coming in the fall

text: Best magazine for latest information regarding all tv shows


title: Bird watching and identifying!

text: Good reading about the fine feathered friends and other articles!


title: Perfect for him

text: My grand son has loved this magazine for several years.  We are now moving to the next level MUSE.


title: What Happened to EW Weekly

text:
I have been a member on/off since the beginning.  They go through periods where I think they forget what type of magazine it is.  I hate the interviews with actors, I want info on the movies or shows I should see.  I don't care about what so and so actor thinks; for that we have US and People.
Also, I thought it was a weekly magazine? What HAPPENED?  I let my other subscription lapse about a year ago.  I signed up again in November and since then I think I've received 4 issues, if that much.  TV Guide is better than this now.  After this subscription is over, I'm done.

03/16/20 I Just received the most recent monthly copy and probably at least 1/3 was a discussion with actors and basically fluff pieces. What a disappointment. I used to see movies or read books based on what I found in the EW of old.  Now it's how an actor feels about a getting a role, staying in a role or leaving a role and I don't care.


title: It's not what it used to be.  Too many ads, fewer articles and recipes.

text: I just enjoy looking at it, but find no substance to the magazine any more.  I will be cancelling my subscription.


title: A Pleasant Surprise

text: I have yet to receive my second issue of Cooking Light, so I'm only speaking from a first impression point of view... And I loved it. For the last several years I've subscribed to Taste of Home, and it's been good--I've always found a recipe or two to try in each magazine, but it wasn't until reading Cooking Light that I realized I've wanted a bit more.  More information, that is.  For each Cooking Light recipe, there was enough background information or enough article about the recipe to read that compelled me to give the recipe a try.  We tried the cover recipe "chili"; the carrot-cake pancakes, the chipotle tacos, and the oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies. And each of the recipes turned out even more kid friendly than I'd hoped--our five and two year old weren't up for the chili, but they enjoyed the tacos, pancakes and cookies--all of which I'd originally thought might be on the gourmet side for them. No complaints, and clean plates.


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: US Magazine to keep up with the latest news

text: I enjoy receiving my weekly magazine to keep up with the Hollywood Gossip. I live in a Retirement Center and I pass it around, I have seen my copies even in the Beauty Parlor.


title: Four Stars

text: I think Saveur is the best food magazine in the absence of Gourmet. It is heads above the competition.


title: A must read at a good price

text: Best price around on one of my favorite magazines!


title: Soon as I got It I forgot how to read ...

text: Soon as I got It I forgot how to read and now can’t read cause I dropped my eyes. So weird


title: Cancelled for no reason.

text: Ordered this as a Christmas present, then earlier this month got a cancellation notice with no warning or reason. Very disappointing. Wouldn't try this one again.


title: Web membership nearly impossible to cancel

text: I like Cook's Illustrated, and have used their website for years. Lots of good content. However this year I finally have had enough of their user-unfriendly web site. Constant "opportunities" to upgrade membership to access recipes that seem to always pop up first in searches. When I got an email for renewal at nearly $40 per year, I decided to cancel but found after searching through their website that a PHONE CALL is required to do so. That was the last straw.

title: Western Horseman Magazine Subscription

text: If you are looking for a subscription to a magazine about the West, Western riding, horses, horsemanship, and the lifestyle associated, then buy this product.  You will not be disappointed.


title: great magazine

text: I, have been flying rc helis for years and am currently most interested in scale. This mag covers new helis, scale . and a lot of other neat stuff!

text: Fun, fun, fun.  Bought this a s a gift for my 13 yr old niece.  She loves the pictures as well as the helpful articles.


title: Fun, fun, fun


title: Too good to be true.

text: I have heard a lot of good things about this magazine leading to my purchase of a subscription.  Maybe too many good things as it did not match my expectations.  I do not plan on renewing.


title: Five Stars

text: enjoyable reading-great recipes.  Thanks!


title: would recommend this magazine.

text: Reupped my subscription. Really enjoy this magazine, and love the kindle version that comes with the subscription. A must for the watercolor artist.


title: Amazon is a good deal for money

text: Not true.  The magazine website subscription for 1 year is $34.95.


title: Great magazine.

text: Great magazine for beekeepers.


title: waste of money....

text: unless you're rich and you could bring it all to life with your unlimited bank account..


bought this for my son when he was little and now my grandsons. great for kids and lots of learning about animals.


title: A good magazine.

text: I have been a subscriber since the premier issue, and will continue to be a subscriber, because I feel it's the best XBox magazine their.  Yet, at times I get bored with it's writing style.  They don't make it that fun to read, sometimes its too silly to read, at other times it's written with too much depth, to where it bores you.  Plus, it doesn't have any good features (special stories) in it, they are all stupid or boring, with the only good one being in the first issue (the one about the perfect XBox setup, and the XBox set-up quiz).<br />Why two stars then? The reviews are actually well written, and are truthful, and I trust them.  So, if all you want are interesting reviews, try this magazine, but if you want to know about other things without getting too bored, look elsewhere.


title: Fast shipping

text: Good magazine


title: Good product

text: Good read


title: Five Stars

text: my 4th grade girls love this


I was once a member, and and received the American Quarter Horse Journal many years ago.  I have not had horses for many years, as one of our best friends and old neighbors moved to Whitesboro, TX., and we moved to Bristol, WI. That would have been the late Hadley Campbell and family, we were neighbors in Gurnee, IL.  I understand son, Butch and wife Patti Campbell are both judges.  I always enjoyed reading the American Quarter Horse Journal, and I know I will enjoy it again.


title: Sky and Telescope.

text: This was a gift for my nephew and he loved it. He got a new telescope for his birthday and I thought this would be an important adjunct to his interest in astronomy.


title: TV guide - No delivery

text: We enjoy the print version but it is not worth the hassle, missing issues consistently, once again have not an issue in 3 weeks.


title: great little magazine

text: i just love this little magazine; I like the little, easily held, format, as well as the great content. I have learned a lot from reading this magazine and would highly recommend it. Initially, by the title, for some reason, I assumed it was for older people, but I ordered it at age 38, and it is one of my favorites.


title: 5 Gold Stars is not enough!

text: A great magazine for the family.Very informative and fantastic pictures. It proves this world is interactive.You will not think this was a waste of money.


title: Best cat magazine

text: Best cat magazine around! Fun, modern and visual. Forward thinking magazine for cat lovers.


title: Rolling Stone has become a joke,except for Taibbi who's great

text: The 50 greatest concerts weren't even concerts,Matt Taibbi is the ONLY reason to buy this mess


title: Time?It should be out of Time

text: the 100 most influential list was a joke and a waste of  my time......Time magazine has fallen on hard times


It is a beautiful magazine visually with loads of useful information.  it is a magazine you do not merely read you keep it as a reference and just to look over again or share because it is so aesthetically pleasing :-).


title: Seems more like tabloid science

text: I've found the articles lack clear links to some of the connections they try to make and all together come off as spurious. I much prefer Discover or Science News.


title: Informative, concise articles

text: Thoroughly enjoy Prevention as this magazine is jam packed with a wide variety of healthful tips.  Articles are concise and informative with most 1-2 pages in length, maintaining your attention.  The size of the magazine itself makes it a great companion for travel.


title: Three Stars

text: really too many adds and I wish that all recipes had health values listed


title: Cancel

text: I only received 2 magazines. Cancel my subscription and do not renew.  I give this 0 stars


title: awesome

text: Fast Company provides readers with insights into some of the most fascinating companies and developing industries on the planet. It is a must read for me!


title: RUN AWAY, FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!

text: I subscribed to this publication back in the 90's and it was excellent and since I have renewed my interest in playing acoustic I decided to give it a try again. Really bad idea. The quality is gone, the magazine is a lot thinner with a lot more ads. It used to have a lot of technique and the songs were both tabbed and in standard notation; the examples had links on the website so you could get the audio along with some brief instruction. The magazine is now a joke; the website is mainly a ploy to get you to subtribe or renew your subscription. As a subscriber you are supposed to get a free digital copy of the current month's magazine and access to free digital copies of old issues but they always seem to pop up as $6.95 each. Customer Service is the worst I have ever seen. If you decide to purchase some of their lessons (which used to be free to subscribers) stay away from the video lessons. What you get is a PDF of the song tab and the "video lesson" is simply someone playing the song through. Once my subscription expires I will never, repeat never, subscribe again. On the positive side, the print magazine is great for starting camp fires (but not much else)


title: Industry related publication

text: This magazine is great for industry professionals.  If you are looking for more decorating type magazines, I recommend Architectural Digest, Veranda, etc.  Architectural Record is more technical based and offers industry related information such as elevations and floor plans.  In that respect, if you are a student of Architecture or Interior Design, get this magazine because you will be introduced to things you just cannot get in school or in other non-industry magazines.  It is wise to add this magazine to your list of subscriptions.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine


title: waiting...

text: I ordered a magazine a few weeks ago and he won't receive my gift til late April.  I wish I had known that before I oredered.


title: not realistic on this planet

text: I ordered this mag because my nephew was selling subscriptions for a fund raiser.  Boy howdy, did I waste my money.  The articles are absolutely absurd.  I agree with all the other reviews that this is a extraordinarily pretentious magazine.  Do yourself a HUGE favor and get Wondertime instead.


title: Update: Worthwhile Subscription to Have

text: Love the Robb Report! I mistakenly wrote a previous review saying that the issues only arrived sporadically, but I was wrong. The real problem was that I was responsible for not being able to find the magazines after they arrived, because I misplaced them. As such, I've updated the review.


title: Still Waiting......

text: STILL waiting, I REALLY Hope I get my 1st issue Before the All Star break in July. That might change my rating but as of now if I could put 0stars I definitely would.


title: Great horse magazine!

text: This is PERFECT for girls who love horses and own one or don't own one. Good articles, and lots of pictures. I have posters from the magazine all over my room!


title: Scam

text: Scam


title: Unsatisfied readers beware!

text: The articles were okay, but clearly had a political bias. I signed up to get a neutral stance on the news and unfortunately that’s not what I got. When I went to cancel the subscription, I found theres no link to do so on the site- you have to do a live chat with them, spend 15 minutes turning down “exclusive offers” and “loyalty discounts”, and tell them about 4 times you would like to cancel the subscription before they do it. Such a pain to cancel that I don’t think I’ll ever get a subscription again.


title: Awesome

text: Awesome little magazine


title: Good price

text: Enjoyed the magazine read each week or so.


title: Wired is awesome

text: I started reading when they first started and it is still my most favorite tech magazine out there


title: Very cute

text: My 2.5 year old son loves it! We read it together before bed. He especially has grown to love the matching game on the back cover. :)


title: Best magazine

text:
very well written article. Variety of topic discussed in depth.
Astonishing pictures and global coverage.
I mostly like short article and information


title: Love!

text: I love fhis, from cover to cover. It's shot beautifully and the articles are well thought out.


title: Great magazine

text: Kids love this magazine


title: Four Stars

text: Like the format. Will probably renew my subscription when it expires.


title: Great!

text: One of the best gifts I have gotten my husband! He love this magazine. We have renewed this for the past 3 years.


title: Great source for latest in books, TV, movies, etc.

text: Keeps me up to date on latest books, movies, TV and other entertainment in general; Good resource and good price.


title: Culture

text: You cannot beat Vogue for great arrticles on art, culture, and design. However, the magazine is clearly geared toward the rich. Do not expect any "cheaper version" of runway designs.  It's a great indulgence for those of us that want to live in a fantasy world of rich socialites.


title: Cozy escape

text: Settle in with a cup of tea or coffee and just relax. This is an amazing magazine for ideas and rustic cottage comforts. I love the seasonality of the articles and photos.


title: renewal of tv guide

text: length of time for renewal to kick in seems quite long given today's technology.  price isn't as reasonable either since we are paying more than last year.


title: subscription

text: I would have liked to have received only current issues.  received two copies together and one was an older issue.


title: worth getting

text: Some interesting articles and gorgeous photos.  Will renew.


title: Finally here

text: My husband is very pleased with it and will enjoy reading the stories!!


title: Not Happy!!

text: I only received one issue!!!!!!!! Then received a bill to renew!! Not Happy!!


title: Five Stars

text: Great reading


title: What's New with latest Cars

text: Great articles about the latest new cars. Enjoy this magazine very much.


title: Conde Nast is terrible.

text: I was disappointed that after only one month, I was automagically charged for a year's regular subscription at the regular price. I sighed up for 6 issues for 5 bucks. I expected a catch, but not one month in. I'm very disappointed in the publisher, and as a result, I will not subscribe to another Conde Nast publication. As far a the magazine goes, I rarely read it after that went down. It just made me mad to think about it. I think the tech part of wired is great, the frat boy mentality of it's writers leaves much to be desired.


title: Great read.

text: Always interesting articles about southern places to visit.  Excellent recipes, and the Grumpy Gardner.  What more could you ask from a great magazine?


title: Purchase with caution

text: The purchased somehow signed me up for a subscription many years ago after I purchased 1 magazine. I then received a magazine every year, not knowing I was being charged until I saw it on my credit card statement. Purchase with caution.


title: Excellent summary of current health news

text: Wish the isdues were thicker


title: Not a great gift

text: I got this as a gift for my nephew but it didn't work out.


title: Four Stars

text: Good


title: haven't gotten it yet

text: Haven't gotten this subscription yet.  Apparently it takes about 6 weeks to get.  We've gotten this magazine before and my girls love it.  Very clean and age appropriate.


title: Five Stars

text: I have this to my nephew's for a Christmas present last year. They live it.


title: Great magazine. Highly recommended

text:
Great magazine. Highly recommended. I read may be 100 releases and learned tones of info.
Worth every penny.
One thing they can do better at is having better distribution system in the US.


title: There is nothing else in its class. Top notch stories.

text: I've been reading this magazine since the early 1970's and it has always been a paragon of high quality, engaging science fiction writing. The Science Fact articles are also a nice forward-looking way of being aware of things I might not have known about otherwise.<br />The editing (story choices) and the editorials have continually been top-notch. I intend to remain a subscriber until I die.


title: good publication

text: good magazine to go along with knives illustrated.  enjoyable, good information on the pages that are not ad's.  for the price of this good magazine there should be more articles and pictures, less ads.


title: Works great!

text:
I give five stars because it works and looks awesome on my new Kindle Fire HDX.

After reading some of the reviews from other users I was a little afraid to purchase this subscription to GQ but since it is only six dollars I went for it. All I have to say is that it only took me less than a minute to purchase it through my Kindle Fire HDX and the download took less than two minutes. I was able to access it within seconds from the cloud as it was downloading. What I love the best about it is the resolution on the images and how easy it is to navigate from one page to another. With this I don’t think I need the printed version of it, we’ll see how long it takes to arrive.


title: Five Stars

text: Great. Love it


title: Fantastic magazine

text: From a girl born & raised in the midwest,no other magazine can quite compare to Southern Living. I love everything about it. From the feature of southern locales to the wonderful recipes. It is delicious...it feeds my southern soul!


title: Best Yoga information Out There

text: Yoga Journal is the definitive yoga periodical. The special offer I received was unbelievable, so I had to snatch it up immediately. Love the pictures of the Asanas, the articles about instructors around the country, the ad's for yoga equipment, and especially all the NEW information re: types of yoga out in the world. I have discovered YIN yoga and it has changed my life-and my body. Great information for those interested in Yoga.


title: New reader

text: Just started reading this.  It seems very elegant, but also down-to-earth.  I enjoy the photos, too - very informative and attractive.

title: One Big Ad for Nintendo - Trash It

text: I thought I would be ordered my 4 kids something worth reading, something educational, etc... the whole magazine is one pathetic advertisement for Nintendo - SHAMEFUL, PATHETIC, WASTE OF PAPER.


title: deceptive ad!

text: Never have received it!!!


title: Love it!!

text: I love this magazine since I know how to read. I think is more like a family tradition, my father used to collect this magazine and we used to read it again again and again.<br /> The magazine have everything.


title: Junk

text: The thing is 95% advertisements.  Don’t waste your money


title: Digital photo pro magazine is just a scam!

text: They stopped printing their magazine, but till took my money... sent an alternative photo website access code which never worked!!! Amazing how people have no problem stealing money from consumers and never have to face any type of justice. Digital photo pro magazine is just another scam out there!


title: great magazine

text: great magazine! Many fun ideas for families! I love the crafts and recipies, and games. Thank you disney for bringing our family together!


title: Four Stars

text: The Grandkids enjoy it. I think it is pricey for the amount of pages


title: Not the same magazine it used to be......

text: I've been a MD reader for NLT 30 years. IMO it got REALLY good in the 1990s into the 2010s, when there were TONs of really good pix & articles written/ghostwritten by top bodybuilders.  Now this magazine in 90%+ ads and "advertorial" articles.  There are still lots of good pictures, but the majority of what made MD THE best bodybuilding magazine, is now gone.  Not only is the magazine now primarily advertisements, but it is now also considerably fewer pages than it used to be. Don't believe me?  Pick up any copy from the 90's and compare the ratios of ads-to-articles to a 2020 copy.  2020 was the first year I subscribed and it will be the last.


title: Not bad

text: This magazine isn't bad, but it feels more like a printed forum for liberal opinions than a source of information.


title: Biased Rag --- NOT totally Texas thoughts

text: I enjoy most of the articles especially the ones that are not laced with liberal prejudice. The rag has taken a bad turn twisting the stories to reflect not the truth but a bias to the left.


title: No thanks. There's a reason it's always on sale.

29 August 2015

First of all, readers should know that Scientific American is not a product originating in the United States.

It has been owned by a German publisher since 1986.

The editors frequently note that Scientific American is owned by Nature Publishing Group (since 2008), but that in turn had been owned by the same German publisher as part of a purchase of yet another company, Macmillan, in 1995.  There is nothing about Scientific American related to the United States of America other than it was originated in the United States in the 19th century.

I started reading Scientific American shortly before the change occurred.

In my opinion Scientific American has over a period of years gone from at least a minimum of science articles to nearly 100% consumer conditioning, pseudo-science, and misinformation by design.  Like all magazines, Scientific American profits from advertising.  One might expect at least some sincere attempts at elucidating science, given the title.  But that would be an unrealistic expectation.

The range of misinformation appearing in Scientific American these days includes long debunked race schema rants to religion rants (more on that below). I can no longer recommend this magazine to anyone.  In the distant past there were actual science articles, by design.  Now if any science gets into the magazine it is completely by random error, not by design.

It is only due to those few examples of insight with practical value that I look through the magazine for useful content, but no naive reader not well educated in the alleged subjects presented within its covers would be able to discern the ruse.
______________________________
When I first began reading Scientific American prior to 1980, I was inspired to set a goal for myself to be able to understand the science articles.  So I set out to educate myself with a broad foundation in the fundamental paradigms of science.  Scientific American shortly thereafter set out a goal to go in the opposite direction, deciding to misinform for profit, and in a very blatant manner.
______________________________
I do not mean to advertise the two editors noted below (Michael Shermer, Steve Mirsky) or change this review of Scientific American to a critique of either of them, but rather to use them as examples of the anti-intellectual and anti-science paradigm of Scientific American.

Michael Shermer has posed as a scientist for many years but really has no knack for it and does not appreciate the nature of science at all.  He seems to be under the impression that atheism and science are the same thing, and that critical reasoning and science are the same thing, too.

But atheism and science are completely unrelated, and critical reasoning in and of itself does not add any content to science.

It is no surprise that he is more inclined to ruminate on religion and to otherwise promote pseudo-science:  for at least part of his career he was a professor in a private Christian college, and apparently not required to undergo peer review from real scientists in his chosen specialty--psychological science--of which he has demonstrated little to no knowledge or insight.

Steve Mirsky specializes in attempting to vainly appear more intelligent and knowledgeable than he really is by pointing out that some selected target of derision is stupid.  When he cannot accomplish that, he writes filler consisting of a seemingly endless stream of puns, but no science content at all. He also holds and from time to time promotes a race-religion schema in complete contradiction to biological science.  In particular, he appears to believe that Jewish religion is transmitted genetically.
______________________________
As a typical example of gross incompetence and worse, consider the December 2012 Scientific American wherein Michael Shermer wrote some ad copy and as usual presented it as an alleged book review, conveniently for a product of the parent company:  "The Wisdom of Psychopaths".  The title itself should give readers the general idea.  He was dead serious, as usual.

In another book promotion--his specialty--he attempted to qualify the content of the book by repeating a claim from its author that only human beings exhibit cooperative behavior, narrowing it down to some unrealistic ad hoc constraints.  But anyone familiar with animal behavior knows that there are numerous examples of cooperative behavior among and between other animal species.

One might expect that a man with PhD in psychology would have learned that by now from standard texts of comparative psychology--also known as animal behavior--but he did not know, or simply chose to mislead the readers, or both.  The result is the same:  the magazine is spreading pseudo-science by design, not by random error.

In his previous life, before becoming an editor at Scientific American, he was a born-again-Christian activist.  I think he still is but has since claimed to be an atheist.  Not that it makes any difference.  There is no reason to believe that an atheist has any more insight into science than anyone else.

science (noun): The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment, and the data and conclusions founded on that activity.

Atheism, by contrast, just means that some person does not believe that there exists one or more alleged gods in the real world.
______________________________
Like the video infotainment industry, Scientific American magazine is in the business of consumer conditioning, i.e., advertising and propaganda.  It only poses as a science journal.  And also like the video infotainment industry, there is no way Scientific American will publish anything that might conflict with the goals of their clients, be those multinational corporations or governments who pay for the content.

That has not always been the case but it is now the guiding rule for content at Scientific American.

Two other examples follow, both of a generalized nature.
______________________________
Scientific American and the Psychiatric Drug Industry

It is not uncommon for Scientific American to include in some otherwise mundane and unrelated article a statement to the effect that "we hope our research will help us better understand schizophrenia and other genetically transmitted mental illnesses."  I do not mean to imply that that exact wording has been used, but the message has been used frequently and without challenge.

The consumer conditioning aspect for their corporate clients is obvious.  They are pushing Big Pharma's disease model of mental health to basically sell quack medicines for imaginary mental illnesses invented by the American Psychiatric Association, a trade group that profits from it in a quack like manner.

Given the goals of the multinational corporate clients of Scientific American, those sort of embedded claims are meant to promote what amounts to witchcraft and magic potions with no clear benefit to the consumer.  That may not be obvious to those of us who live in countries where witch burning, mandatory religion, and child sacrifice are not common.  But that is not the case everywhere and there are plenty of gullible, under-educated people who will believe just about anything if it is presented in an alleged science journal.
______________________________
Scientific American and the Nuclear Power Industry

In the past, when there was a different editor and editorial board, Scientific American was proud to announce that it had predicted the catastrophe that arrived as 2005 Hurricane Katrina:  "Drowning New Orleans:  In a harrowing prediction of what would become the future, this 2001 feature notes that a major hurricane could swamp New Orleans under 20 feet of water, killing thousands"  by Mark Fischetti.

Keeping that in mind, directly after the 2011 Fukushima (Japan) disaster, wherein a tsunami disabled a nuclear reactor, releasing radioactive material that has made some areas of Japan into ghost towns--and which is still leaking radioactive pollution into the ocean the last time I checked for news--the only comment that Scientific American had was that we need to convince the general public to believe that nuclear power is safe.  By "we" I suppose the editorial management was describing their directive from corporate management, an internal matter that would be obvious enough from the nature of their articles promoting allegedly new and improved reactor designs.

But where I live (California, USA) if either the San Onofre reactor (closed but stocked with spent fuel) or Diablo Canyon coast-based reactor is breached by a tsunami, a similar outcome can be expected.  Tsunamis are not predictable except by one metric:  they happen along coastlines.  We know they will probably occur sooner or later, we know where, but we do not know exactly when.

That was of no concern to the editors at Scientific American (nor to current California Gov. Jerry Brown or President Barack Obama, for that matter) because it would be contrary to the interests of their corporate sponsors to consider that cogent message.  Likewise it is of no concern to the Japanese government corrupted by the manufacturers and operators, nor to the Chinese government which is corrupt from the top down, and both of which still promote coastal location of nuclear reactors.

So what is the problem?  Climate science related to Hurricane Katrina is far more complicated than the geography that assures us that underwater seismic events cause tsunamis and are inevitable.  But not even the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami event, and again, the Fukushima disaster, has convinced the editors at Scientific American that there is an inherent safety problem with coastal siting of nuclear reactors.

Scientific American will still report on the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster and its effect on the environment, rendering some places unlivable and affecting the genetics of at least some species of fauna.  But there is no way Scientific American will take a stand on the ill-advised propensity of nuclear power operators to site reactors on coastlines.
______________________________
There are many similar problems with the credibility of Scientific American.  A great deal of the magazine's article content is no better than someone selling snake oil to ignorant and gullible persons.  It is clear that promoting science is not now and probably never will again be a mission of Scientific American.  They are not out to educate readers; they are out to manipulate readers for profit.

Don't waste your time on it if you want to learn more about science.

Your best bet would be to acquire overstock or used college texts online for a few dollars and start educating yourself.


title: It's so good that only one issue satisfies

text: One...


title: Great Magazine, Great Pack-in Disc!

text:
PC Gamer is definitely the best magazine out there for PC-centric gaming.

Most other gaming magazines just gloss over the PC side of gaming.  Also, the pack-in DVD is always full of good stuff.


title: Love to curl up and relax with this one

text: Finally! A cerebral health and beauty magazine that isn't just about appearances. This one is inspiring while also helping me to stay up on current issues. Love to curl up and relax with this one. Definitely not a flip-through-it-once kind of mag.

title: I did not order this.

text: There is nobody in my house that would order this.  I don't know what the price is, but I expect reimbursement.  I have received a single magazine (nothing else).  I have not yet read it, so I don't know if it is useful to me.


title: I just renewed my subscription because I love Outdoor Life

text: Not sure that this is what Amazon wants from me, but I love Outdoor Life and this is actually a subscription renewal. If you know the magazine, then you know why it is so popular. I'll say that ordering it through Amazon is a great idea because they take care of your renewals and also give you a fantastic price. You just need to order once and then forget about renewing. Sit back and enjoy every issue of a great fishing and outdoors mag.


title: Good magazine, better price

text: I wouldn't have got a subscription this cheap except through Amazon. Love the magazine and I love the outdoors. Field and Stream is one of my favorite magazines by far, and it is a treat to get it at Amazon's specially discounted price.

Overall, it is well worthwhile.

title: BW is not what it used to be

text: I have been a BW subscriber since junior year of high school, over 9 years ago. Since the sale to the Bloomberg group reading this magazine has become unbearable. BW was always cheap to subscribe to and always kept me in the know, but now all I would get is basic news coverage and no indepth stories or analysis. Even the tech guy who I liked to much has been let go. I guess Bloomberg can flex its news muscle and just aggregate the BW content from their news sources, but experienced readers will realize that the stories are lacking the overall quality we came to expect. I have cancelled my subscription and received my refund. Economist subscription costs twice as much, but at this point this is the only quality consistent alternative that I am aware of. Big does not mean better, at least not in the Bloomberg Business Week situation.

title: The best

text: My children love these.  High quality,  engaging, beautiful pictures,  relevant content,  interesting and educational.


title: Years worth would be nice...

text: Nice magazine but didn't get a whole year worth. And then I also started to receive TIME magazine for some reason, which is only good for burning.


title: Conservative magazine

text: I enjoyed my first issue...can't wait until the next issue. It's nice to read articles that don't follow what MSM puts out there.


title: Favorite Canadian Magazine

text: If you're going to subscribe to one magazine to find out issues in Canada, this is the one to get. Excellent publication.


title: Crossword puzzles only.  Not too difficult, but gives my brain a workout.

text: This is exactly what I wanted - crosswords only.  There are no other puzzles or games.  The clues aren't too difficult or obscure.  I'm able to complete each one without having to look at the answers, but only after having some letters filled in for clues.  You know how that goes... first you fill in the words that you know for sure, and then you go back to see if the blank words come to you after you have a letter or two filled in.  It's just the thing I was looking for to give my brain a gentle workout.  The size of the magazine is 6" x 9", so it's small enough to tuck into my purse.  The cost of the subscription is a big savings over buying the crossword books individually.  This one is just right.


title: Hopefully no more Bush bashing

text: Great articles if you can stand the extremely liberal, for Texas, writer's snipes. It and would be fantastic if they would leave the political commentary to the political commentary page.


title: Self indulgent and archaic

text: But merely OK. Who needs this archaic format, a  single sheet of paper folded cleverly, and filled with "OK" content, but not a good deal when you can pick up creative text in so many other venues. Waiting a long time for it to be put together and mailed, was a huge letdown. Someone's indulgence in an archaic  format idea from the early 19th century?


title: Wow, something worse than Spin�

text:
I could pretty much copy my review of Spin and paste it here. This is pretty much the exact same thing, just worse. A magazine for brain dead morons that have to be told what is cool, so they know what they like.
This is just another media outlet that pretends to be important, pretends to be `counter-culture' and pretends to care about something other than their profits. This magazine is the tripe that the bottom feeders of the world dwell on. This magazine does nothing, and has never done anything, other than push the mainstream pop culture. Its really pretty pathetic.
I don't think it is possible for the staff of this magazine to pander more to the rest of the `music industry'. My god it's pathetic.
And what's hardest to believe is that all this criticism is based on the content of the magazine, of which there is so very little. After your done with the ads, there really isn't a whole lot left. Except maybe some pathetic attempt at political commentary (coming from someone grossly unqualified to provide it). Yeah, this magazine is REALLY cool. At least it is if you're still waiting for your first pubic hair.
If you can't think for yourself, regarding anything in pop culture, let Rolling Stone do it for you. Let them tell you what music to buy, what movies to go see, what TV to watch and what books to read.
The content regarding music is nothing short of a joke. The content on other areas of pop culture such as television and cinema aren't much better. The political insight is so far past pathetic I don't even don't what to say about it other than it's scary that someone might actually considerer an editorial printed in Rolling Stone to be an educated and/or intelligent opinion.
I hate this magazine. I hate everything it stands for. And I hate everything it represents. Someone actually had the audacity to say that Rolling Stone has `weathered the trends over the years'. There is huge difference between `weathering the trends' and jumping on any and every trend that comes by. This magazine has gotten so bad, they don't even know who's [rear] they are kissing anymore. This is the worst of pop culture.


title: Completely worthless

text:
If you are completely unable to develop and form opinions on your own, sign up. Spin will do it for you. This is horrible, god-awful tripe. Only the lowest forms of life on earth read this. Those who attach themselves to whatever the trend of the day is, or those who believe that their musical taste is inherently superior to everyone else's.
Is it better than Rolling Stone? Yes. Could there be a more back handed compliment? No, I don't think so.
The magazine is the typical major media garbage. They want to pretend that they are counter-culture, but the truth is that this magazine does nothing but skim the surface of everything that is mainstream pop culture. There is so much non-music related filler it's insane.
The reviews provided by Spin are just what you would typically expect from brain dead critics. Aloof, condescending non-sense, and a whole lot of butt kissing.
You won't hear about any bands from Spin magazine that you didn't hear about on MTV News first. It's just pathetic.
This magazine has absolutely no redeeming qualities. It tries so hard to be whatever is cool and hip, and it fails miserably. At best, it's a print version of MTV, and who needs that? If you want something that skims the surface of flavor-of-the-day pop culture, this is for you.


title: Rock!

text: Can't go wrong with this. Keeps me up to date plus the articles are interesting.  Rolling stones been a favorite of mine for some time now and will have them around longer.


title: British Version Recieved in US

text: Great magazine and came a little later than I expected (more than a month after ording) but no complaints. However they seem to have shipped me the British version as all of the inlays have UK addresses


title: Average Joe Guitar Dude

text: This is the best magazine for guitar interested people. I have looked at all of them and this one has a good thing going. I just hope they can keep it going. You will love the wide selection of coverage in all fields of music, especially on the gear and technical side of town.

title: Good reviews but some seriously foolish pontification

text:
The New York Review of Books is somewhat of a mixed bag.  If you have objections to pretentious pundits passing judgment on anything that comes their way, or are irritated by insipid intellectualia, there will be something in every issue to drive you crazy.  But if you can get past that, you'll find some high quality writing about some of the most important new ideas out there.

As far as I can tell, the NYRB does two things.  Sometimes it gets a great new book and sends it out to someone who is deservedly prominent in the field and then you get a wonderful combination of a recapitulation of someone's argument, a critical examination of this argument, and references to other related pieces.  The other thing the NYRB does it get one of their usual suspects--freelance intellectuals, i.e., retired something-or-others, i.e., has beens--to write about whatever they want, whether they know much about it or not.  So you will get preachy articles in foreign affairs written by someone who hasn't been out of Sardi's restaurant in Washington in 30 years, telling you what "the real scoop" is on country X.  Except for those written by Gary Willis, these articles are usually sub-par, and those who read them aren't well informed--they're just regurgitating whatever is the received wisdom among the involuted circle of greying New York intellectuals that runs this paper.  (The worst is reviews of biographies--watch out for the little footnote that goes something like this:  "In the interests of complete honest disclosure, I must say that famous person, subject of this biography, always was chummy with your humble reviewer, and we once split a six pack of malt liquor while riding the rails across Wyoming."  Oh please!)

But the reviews--and sometimes the debates--are usually stellar.  I wonder why they don't just switch to all reviews.  Of course, I bet some of those big names wouldn't be willing to write reviews--why, then they'd have to actually READ something they hadn't written, and they might come across a new idea.  And actually, I do understand that.  It is a lot of work to do a thoughtful and balanced review.  And while people will always faun all over some pseudo-reportage with plenty of name-dropping flashbacks (oh my!  he just let slip that he once smoked a cigar with Franco!), reviewing isn't always rewarded.  I certainly know the hurt of spending a great deal of time on a serious review, and learning that "0 out of 5 people found this review helpful."  Why bother?  And it goes deeper--if you find something seriously problematic with some product, keep it to yourself!  An honest review...or interference with interstate trade?  Someone in the pocket of the company is likely to be the judge! [22]


title: No news is good news

text:
I picked up the New York Times recently after a 15-year hiatus.  I admit it was better than it had been circa 1988; at that time anything any Washington insider said was reported uncritically and the NYT had and has its share of the responsibility of pushing our nation closer to barbarism.  But overall, I found the paper nearly as complacent, banal, thoughtless and ignorant as before.

Now I am man who used to read the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Economist and Christianity Today every day (I know not all are dailies, but you have to spread it out).  I was frighteningly informed on most things.  I did not read the Sunday paper which even then made me sick.  But I began to notice that something I'd devoted hours and hours to reading over the past years was false.  That is, I had learned about some series of events that turned out merely to be statements made by one "source" to a reporter.  I noticed that huge stacks of words formed piles on the floor until they were taken out to the "paper drive."  They started as words--not facts--and they stayed that way.  (Perhaps we should call it a "unwanted words" drive and we could put all the other words that won't change our lives in the same bins--words like "kindness," "decency," "sweepstakes," "fortitude," "help wanted.")  I noticed that I wasn't a better person for knowing what one horrible person was doing to another somewhere else.  I began to think it strange that the NYT had quarter page advertisements for watches that cost $10,000 and tiny letters urging us to "remember the neediest" at the bottom.  And I noticed something in myself--a deeply insane belief that simply by knowing about something I was doing something about it, that I was a cut higher than the average man on the street.

So I stopped reading this or any other paper.  I did more.  I moved out to the country (not immediately, but within a year) and changed trades.  And yet, that was not the most important, or even the most revolutionary, change that I was to find I had to make.  But it was a start. [1]

title: New Format Dissapoints

text: I have subscribed to flying for 25 years.  Recently, the magazine changed formats again in efforts to boost revenue and cut costs.  Favorite sections were eliminated, excellent articles are gone, the size and quality have shrunk, and advertisements run wild.  I'd recommend an AOPA membership as it is a good organization with an excellent magazine that comes with the membership.  Flying, sadly, has lost its way.


title: great ads

text:
I wanted to get a small book of advertisements delivered monthly and this really hits the spot. I sometimes get irritated with the placement of these "articles" but they are easily skipped to get back to the ads.
Now if only I could figure out how to get YouTube to stop showing me so many videos in between ads life would be consumerist heaven.

Weekly Standard has always been a terrific magazine.  It covers many topics of interest.  I particularly like the book reviews.  It is the closest thing we have to the Saturday Review of Literature, a magazine sorely missed.

However last issue received in mail was May/June issue. They had double issues when they started and subscription was $8/year. Would do 5 stars even if they just sent an email explaining why no more print issues even though other magazines are on newsstands.

text: I bought this for my 11 year old granddaughter and she reads it cover to cover. Sometimes, she shares things she has read with me and she gets so excited! Informing, entertaining and just FUN for her.


title: Good reading with morning coffee

text: I used to take this magazine, but let it lapse.  Sure missed it!So I decided it was time to renew again and I'm glad I did. Great to read as I sit on my deck with my morning coffee.


title: Debunkers, Not Skeptics

text: I've read a number of articles in this so-called magazine of skeptics. I'm not impressed, and I'm a natural skeptic myself.  I follow the evidence where it leads, even if it doesn't fit into my world view, something the Skeptical Inquirer doesn't even try to do. Instead, they debunk the evidence with an "It can't be, therefore it isn't" attitude. When someone does meet their high standards, but, fails to get past their "It can't be" attitude, they raise the bar for evidence. If that fails, they attack the credibility of the witnesses. When all else fails, then they resort to character assasinations. These illogical ways of thinking are strange for "skeptics" who pride themselves on their logic and rationality. Don't get me wrong, there are a number of good articles in every issue, but, the debunking attitude, with its closed minded preconceptions, ruins the premise of the magazine. If you want to debunk evidence, fine, but, change the name of the magazine to reflect its content. Otherwise, the contents are as misleading as the magazine's name. I think "Evidentiary Debunking" is a more appropriate title. Give the illogical skeptics their own magazine and let the rest of us read a true "Skeptical Inquirer".

title: Reason: is great!!  --  Amazon Subscription Service: tends to be  lame!

text:
[Wednesday 2020-03-11] Update: Amazon just sent me another renewal notice for Reason Magazine (Print + Kindle) despite the fact that I have never received a single issue of Reason in the mail from Amazon.  Every time I attempt to contact them about the issue, the

I do not think I have received a single copy of Reason via the USPS in recent months, if ever, since my subscription to Reason [Print + Kindle] was supposed to go active.  I did cancel said subscription as soon as I found that Amazon has a perverse policy of insisting that customers accept auto-renew when they subscribe.  I think when I first wrote this message, I managed contact Amazon customer support and was asked to spend a lot of time checking my Kindle compatible devices to see if it was there.  I do not give a damn about the Kindle version, since I prefer to read the print edition  magazines such as Reason  -- which is a great magazine, by the way.

The one start rating I gave above is due only to the incompetence of Amazon.com.  I have bought and thoroughly enjoyed several issues of Reason at Barnes and Noble over the past couple of years  I know my mailbox can get full of junk mail and other magazine format publications, but surely Amazon could have sent me at least one issue of Reason by snail mail, as they promised me a whole year of them.

In the future, if I subscribe to anything from Amazon, I will select just the edition on physical media.  Kindle-only magazine subscriptions are useless in ordinary circumstances, as far as I am concerned.]

Anyone with a clue would be crazy to want to default to auto-renew (on a subscription to anything).  Why?  Well, now I am being bombarded with spam asking if I want to renew, which is what I expected after being told the subscription would not expire until the end of the (one year) period had expired.  But at least I have not been billed for another year of a [Print + Kindle] magazine where I do NOT receive the print version.

I have several copies of Reason magazine I purchased at Barnes and Noble a few miles from here over the past several months and have NOT received a print copy in the mail from Amazon.  I really do not care for Kindle except as a reference tool or for times and places where carrying around printed publications (including books, especially hardcovers) is inconvenient.  For a magazine I generally read from cover to cover, it is delivery of the print copy that matters to me.

There may be Kindle editions of recent issues of Reason are on my computer or one of the several other Kindle-compatible devices I own, including desktop and laptop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Amazon makes it an incredible PITA to communicate with a customer representative by phone which is what most intelligent people I know consider a major sign of poor customer service, so I was glad I cancelled my subscription to Reason [Print + Kindle] when I was told that would be the only way to avoid being "auto-billed" (read: suckered into paying more) for another year.  It was not worth my time and effort to try and get the matter corrected because I do not recall if I ever received, much less read Reason in Kindle format in 2019.  I did read many issues I paid for at Barnes and Noble and other physical bookstores because they showed up as I organized my magazine collection in the process of committing a neatness ("Spring Cleaning") so that I could put all the 2019 issues of Reason and other magazines on yet another set of (still in box) bookshelves I need to build to make more shelf space.

Reason magazine is great and I have been making a point of getting a print copy of each new issue for years when I am in a brick and mortar bookstore that carries it.  I often end up with duplicate copies which I usually give to friends who happy to get them but have returned if I catch my mistake soon enough to still have the receipt available.

Reason covers a wide range of topics well and tends to be very informative an usually entertaining.  I just checked my Kindle subscriptions on this laptop computer and found no issues.  There may be some on the one Kindle device I have or on any of the machines/devices around here that can load Kindle eReader.  I really do not care as without the print copies, the Kindle edition is not worth subscribing to if one likes to read magazines and books printed on dead tree products or large digital displays, an mostly for reference even then.

In summary: Reason magazine is wonderful and I have enjoyed reading the paper edition since the 1990s (1980s?).

Amazon subscription service is something to be avoided, in my opinion, yet I DO like Amazon.com a lot, overall.  I learned that there is a brick-and-mortar Amazon store two or three miles from here and have yet to visit it, but I may be able to get this subscription to the [Print + Kindle] edition of Reason straightened out with a human customer service representative there when I go to check the place out.

I should point out that when it became clear to me that going completely deaf in one ear with hearing replaced by loud tinnitus in that ear made Audible subscription products rather useless for me, I had little problem getting Audible subscriptions cancelled, twice, because I subscribed to something on Audible again (on impulse or out of habit) before I remembered that it would end up being hard to hear well.  That was back before it became as difficult as it is now to get through to Amazon by phone and bypass the annoying bot that tries to keep you away from a person you can actually converse with in a normal manner.

I would love to have all the print issues of Reason [Print and Kindle edition] I did not get because I am sure I missed at least two or three  months of the print edition in 2019 when did not drive to a bookstore every month-- it is hard to tell because I do not keep every issue, especially when I thought I would have it available on Kindle as a backup or reference copy.  I avoid throwing any issue of a publication that is less than a year old to avoid the duplicate issue problem that occurs when I have not gotten around to binge reading the last few months of some subscriptions.

Another caveat: I know a lot of tech-savvy people who loved Kindle to keep up with their regular reading and used various kinds of optical enhancement equipment to read medical and other professional journals they enjoyed long after they retired from active practice.  When a portable eReader is my only option due to failing eyesight or more situational reasons, I will probably end up using and liking eBooks for purposes other than reference a lot more.

title: Don't order magazines this way.  Never arrived.

text: I'd give zero starrs if it was an option.  I got a supposed notice of shipping from Amazon a month ago, but to date have gotten nothing, not a single issue.  No wonder magazines are dying in this country, if this is how publishers operate.  Two months ought to be enough time for a publisher to get around to at least sending a post card stating that they are going to start the subscription.  And it's way too long for them to have my money and do nothing.

What a great magazine! I'm sure a lot of people will whine and moan because it is not politically correct to like smoking cigars... but they can go jump in a lake, if you'll pardon my French. Some people don't like the smell of cigars, but I always tell them (after I've knocked them to the ground) that individual liberties cannot be silenced! And yeah, cigars leave your breath a little manky, but real women will put up with it if you slip their "agent" an extra [...] bucks. And while I'm being non-PC (not personal computer, hehe. See above) let me just say I love throat cancer! If there was a magazine called Cancer Kazoo I'd be out the door of my extended-stay motel room and down to the lobby to smack all the homeless guys out of the way to get to the newsstand! I don't care how many "warnings" the cops give me. I can do a two year "warning" stretch in the joint without ever breaking a sweat. You think they don't have cigars in the joint! Oh yes they do, my friends. And they have this magazine there too! In fact, Big "Zizzy" Baker (Mr. "Backache" we use to call him) use to bring me my Celebrato Extra Fine Rolled stogies wrapped in the magazine! He'd complain like always and the plastic bag was a pain in the backside to clean (no pun intended Zizzy), but after that second hour when you could see the face on the cover and you knew you only had another hour to go... man! Good times! Good times!

Keep on rolling Cigar Afficiando (get it?!!!) and I'll keep reading!

Jethro Bovingdon.  Richard Meaden.  Harry Metcalfe.  Who are these men?  Has it ever been important, even plausible that the reader would desire to not only know the names of, but get to know an automobile journalist?  These exceptional men are not just magazine editors (Although Harry, and now Jethro, do hold that title), but the guys out there in the trenches putting the rubber to pavement, driving some the world's best vehicles to 9/10ths and telling you the absolute truth about their performance, handling, and day to day livability.

The MotorTrend so called "Car of the Year"?  Fuggedabouit!

The EVO "Car of the Year" actually requires someone to have driven the car before handing it an award.  To have driven it HARD.

I started reading EVO a little over 3 years ago.  To be honest, at the time the initial appeal was the larger form factor (larger than any U.S. car magazine) and breathtaking full-page photography.  However, it only took a short while to realize I was holding in my hand the gold-standard for automotive journalism.  The on road and on track reviews in each issue,  the hard-hitting interviews with the newsmakers, designers and industry leaders that are responsible for the direction of automotive performance, and the unique British sensibility and the pleasure of seeing a $500,000 supercar struggle on a classic B-road, put them together and you have the best English-language car magazine published in the world today.

I remember one time expressing to a female friend how EVO posseses not only incredible technical acumen--some of the most accurate road tests in the business--but nearly every issue embodies some of the finest prose put to page in _any_ monthly journal.  It just so happend in that months issue there was a  particularly moving passage from Harry Metcalfe on a group of Ferrari's that were being road tested.  The beauty of Mr. Metcalfe's evocative language could bring a tear to any car lover's--even a grown man's--eye.  With such automotive passion, is it any wonder that Sir Harry went on to own a 512TR himself?  And how many auto journalist live with (and pay for!) the exotic cars they test and so readily praise?

Every month this magazine covers the creme of performance oriented automobiles, many of which are only available in Europe or the UK.  From the Renault Megane to the Pagani Zonda, EVO will give an accurate, thorough review of it's performance in both on track and real world driving conditions.  Due to their location in Europe, and their extensive connections throughout the car world, EVO often travels to Australia or even Africa to see some of the best sedans, coupes, convertibles and exotics in their native or not so native environment.  How does a Rolls Royce fair under the harsh conditions of Turkish roads?  Find out in EVO!

You could buy EVO just for the pretty pictures and there are a lot of them.  You could read it for the articles as some would be wont to do.  Combined, with its superior prose and gorgeous photos, there can be no higher recommendation for car enthusiasts than EVO magazine.


title: No magazine in months

text: I have subscribed to this Magazine from the very beginning. As of this year I received two issues and no more. They do not return phone calls their voicemail is full, and they don't return emails. Don't waste your money, looks like they've gone out of business!!!

text: The whole family found things of interest in it.  We received two copies this month, one for me as we ordered it and now one sent to my husband,  it has us anxious that we'll be billed twice, but I don't see 2 orders so we'll wait and see.


title: Use it to develop your style.

text: As it is a matter of taste, some of the themed issues won't inspire you much.  It's not a shopping guide, as nobody should spend $40,000 on a bed.


title: Focused on interviews/bios/reviews, heavy on ads

text: Certainly, it depends on what you're looking for- this periodical is thick and comes every two months.  I felt that maybe too much of its thickness came from the large number of ads, mainly ads for writing retreats, seminars, or contests.  I was interested in those things, but I was more interested in instruction/tips/exercises that would help me learn about writing, and this I felt was in somewhat short supply.  So I didn't renew this, and instead subscribe to "The Writer," which comes monthly, includes lots of instruction/tips/exercises, as well as some ads and notices about opportunities for writers, but not as many as this publication.  "Poets & Writers" does include some good interviews, bios, and reviews, but for my money, I favor "The Writer."


title: Look at the dates on the 5-star reviews---it's a different magazine now.

text: All readers of Marie Claire reviews, please take note: the positive reviews here are all from years ago, before Marie Claire totally changed into a different (boring, useless, though with an inexplicably hugely increased number of advertisements) magazine. I had it sent to me for free after a purchase, and it's been a confusing disappointment. When I had more impulse-buy budget, I used to buy Marie Claire regularly, and enjoyed its fresh angle toward women. A little bit of everything for anyone, presented with some smarts. Really the only option for intelligent women if you didn't want a narrowly focused magazine. I don't know who it's for now, but it's certainly not me. I don't even see how it could be aspirational, because it's so elitist and ridiculous. And if you're the woman they're portraying, you're not buying magazines anyway! I suspect they're catering to a small cache of wealthy teens and twentysomethings who aren't acclimated to real life yet. And they're obviously getting their revenue not from print sales but from the endless advertisements, since they are literally giving away subscriptions. As for why the advertisers would pay for the space, I can't imagine it has anything to do with the actual magazine. Possibly Nina Garcia's connections thanks to Project Runway. In fact, I fear the whole Project Runway affiliation was what ultimately caused this decline in quality. The original Marie Claire was fun enough to be involved with an upstart artsy talent competition; this Marie Claire would scoff and sniff and turn away. It's rather sad. I wish it would turn around and return to the more accessible, attuned, fresh magazine it once was, but given the heft of its advertising, I doubt that's going to happen. Until my free subscription runs out, maybe I'll try some collage or decoupage---I can't see any other purpose for the new Marie Claire.


title: All Ads

text: This mag should be given away for free. It is non-stop advertising, which is OK, but when a publication is making that much money from ads they should be putting it in the hands of potential buyers for free.


title: So enjoyable to read!

text: I love Reader’s Digest. It’s the only magazine I’ve consistently subscribed to for many years. Content is excellent with so much variety. An enjoyable read every time!


title: Coincidence.....I think not!

text: Well, you don't have to be a scientist to be smart enough to notice that a number of the negative reviews all just happened to occur right after the Food Babe cover story using the same buzz words as "pseudo-science", "shills", and mentioning Food Babe over and over. Here's your proof that big pharma is a BIG problem!

title: Traxxas must own RC Car Action

text: I have had this magazine now for 2 years... There has NEVER been anything negative written about ANYTHING built by traxxas.  Traxxas seems to be on their cover every other month.  Even tho I own some traxxas rc's I am not >> live, eat, breathe Traxxas like these guys are.<br />If I need a Traxxas fix, I think I will pocket my money and just go stare at the traxxas website for 5 sec and be done.  If you are looking for any other content in this magazine besides Traxxas covers, 10 page traxxas ads (not exagerating), and short articles on things that might actually matter in the rc world.. Then you will be disappointed.  Like the title says.. I think Traxxas owns RC Car Action Magazine.

I learned a lot, had fun processing my film and printing my own pictures. I regret not having those photos today. However, Leica started my intense fascination with photography. I still enjoy photography immensely. I also enjoy reading about others who obsess about the shutter snap as well. LFI is a brilliant magazine for slipping down the rabbit hole. Try it...

If I do not pay them $19.97 immediately I will be reported to the Credit agency(s), and my Credit will be ruined. I am not kidding. I cannot prove I did not receive these magazines, so they got me. In my life I have never heard of a magazine taking a person to Collections! What a scam...


title: My Favorite "Light" Read

text: I put "light" in quotation marks because the main articles in this magazine can be far from light, but they're always well written and absorbing. Yes, they love the Brits, but so do I, and they may feature a few too many articles on Hollywood, American, and British aristocracy for some tastes, but I don't care. These are almost always fun to read. Their more serious articles on topics such as the Stuxnet virus or the state of the Irish economy, to give but two examples, are well researched and absorbing. Long may this magazine exist.


title: Confudido

text: I'm still confused.  Did I get a subscription or just one magazine?  It's not clearly defined.  I enjoyed the magazine.


title: Good food and decorating ideas

text: A lot of good recipes with pictures.  I like to see what it is supposed to look like when I make a new dish.


title: Glad I only bought a single issue

title: Hands down the best modern day Christian reading material today

text: Growing up in the church, I've received a lot of Christian magazines, from in depth analysis on Scripture, to Q&A on highschool drama help, but all have fallen short of what young Christians today are looking for.  I followed Relevant magazine before they released their 1st magazine and kept up with the amazing articles online.  I was very excited for the debut of a magazine that made God relevant to specific everyday life decisions and made God seem ever more practical in the way we construct our lifestyles.  God has obviously done great things with this staff and is still working.  Their podcast is also great and really demonstrates the character of today's young christian thinkers who are excited in their faith and are willing to show it.  They bring a lot to hope and pray for for the Christians living in a culture that denies Christ.  I'm not a twentysomething quite yet, but the message of Relevant is important which is: put away with your indifference and go out and make a mark on culture for the glory of God.

title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine


title: BUY!!!!

text: Lovely


title: NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS

text: Subscribed 1966 to roughly 2008. Have glanced at it occasionally since. This was for many years a magazine of big ideas and terrific writing, even if not always entirely right in its' predictions. Declined to become mostly about trivia, merchandise and the famous. It gets 2 stars only because its competitors have gone downhill as well, especially Bloomberg's Businessweek.


title: LOTS OF USELESS PAGES

text:
Long time subscriber, but has really gone far downhill. Lots of political opinion (Bloomberg's?), especially around elections. Enormous number of pages demonstrating how virtuous they are. Some issues now have well under half the pages of even minimal interest. They also shortened my subscription by 2 months for no obvious reason. (They have NOT reduced the number of issues they skip per year, as far as I can tell.)

Don't think I will renew. Some useful pieces, I must admit, however.
