title: Great magazine gone bad

text: I began subscribing to the Atlantic around the time of start of the war in Afghanistan, and was an ardent fan. I loved the reporting by James Fallows and Mark Bowden, Mark Steyn's obits, and Christopher Hitchens' erratic but occasionally terrific stuff. It was literary, combative, intelligent, centrist but never doctrinaire. But after a few years I noticed a worrying development. Stories kept cropping up that I suppose were meant to attract a young female readership. They were about boring subjects like healthcare and organic food. There was an editorial slant that was indistinguishable from the NYT or Slate. They ran a cover story about the shortage of good nannies and later an adulatory profile of Barack Obama. Steyn disappeared. The month I cancelled my subscription, Britney Spears was on the cover. I read later that the magazine was taken over by a new publisher around the time it went bad, and it had  a callow young editor who was on a drive to raise circulation. Rather than screwing up the content of the magazine, they should have fixed their subscription department. At one stage I had four subscriptions going-- 3 of them gifts to friends, because I was such a fan.  When I started a subscription or changed my address, it would take 5 or 6 months for the changes to be carried out.  Even responding to my enquiries took weeks. -- A young female reader.


title: Terrible

text: Toilet paper


title: why can't we comment on any story that is published?

text: The Atlantic can make comments but we can't make comments to it. They make comments that are at best conspiracy theory.  Not Factual.  Most media now doesn't want comments because they have their own agenda.  The Atlantic could be the one to start comment feeds


title: Bob loves it!

text: The mag is simply the best. Both Vanity Fair and the New Yorker are excellent also. but The Atlantic is the best because it seems to have the best writers, topics, and  presentation of all of these books.  I bought it on newsstands only because, I (used to travel a lot) I am going to actually subscribe today.  Bob


title: Five Stars

text: The magazine features great writing and thoughtful articles.


title: Three Stars

text: Got it for my husband.  He didn't care much for it. Will not renew.


title: You articles are long and not to interesting to someone seeking knowledge.

text: I was looking for an informative magazine.  All you want to do is trash Trump.  I can get that on the TV every day.  I can think of a much better use for it now during the pandemic.


title: One Star

text: He is a ugly raceist peace of crap


title: I used to love The Atlantic...

text:
...umm, I think that was about 1986.

They once had very interesting articles intended to edify the general reader.  David Owen, anyone?

And they published excellent fiction, and not just once a year.  They were in fact known for that!  Weird, huh?

Now, they seem to be on a mission to change the political landscape, and not for the better.  They've chosen their readership, and it ain't us.


title: One Star

text: A magazine without backbone - disappointed. Will never purchase or subscribe again.


title: Still the best

text: Over the last 15 years or so I have found it the only magazine that consistently delivers. With Internet at the finger tips one can find answer to any question. This did not make Economist obsolete, it is not about the information, its about provoking to ask right questions.


title: Amazing read

text: Best publication in America. Very insightful and well-researched articles. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a current events magazine.


title: Pretentious and boring.

text:
This magazine is really horrendous--long, wandering, and pedantic articles guaranteed to make you sleep. The most recent issue has a rather pointless story on what kind of debaters Obama and Romney are and how they will most likely fare against each other. After endless paragraphs we finally learn that Obama is a pretty good debator, by God, and that Romney is too. But here's the big dramatic point: Romney sometimes gets flustered when he debates. Stop the presses!

A second article goes over familiar territory: if you're against Obama, you're a racist. Except in this case, the writer really means it. You can't say anything bad about Obama because he's black and most likely you aren't. So stop complaining about him. Because if you do, you're a racist.

Why would anyone pay a subscription for this kind of stuff?


title: Does NOT include online access!

text: I purchased a subscription, assuming it would include online access. I got no confirmation of my purchase, or information on how to start enjoying the magaine online before the first paper issue arrives. Now, according to the Atlantic website, I find the Amazon subscription does NOT include online access. Why isn’t the product description clear about this??? I immediate cancelled the subscription, and hope it goes through.


title: You can't cancell subscription if you want

text: After one year subscription we were not interested anymore in this magazine because of very poor quality of the articles. We were getting calls everyday from them trying to force us to pay again for the next year and every time we told the person calling that we don't want to subscribe and asking them politely not call again. Today they are threatening me that I have to pay because I have account with them and I can't cancel. It is completely ridiculous and they are annoying people forcing you to pay for the product you don't like.


title: A superb publication

text: This magazine meets and exceeds journalistic standards.  The articles are written well and the research well done for each of the subjects covered.  The authors are exceptional.


Just smh thats all im sad i gave them a hit on their website by reading the one article i did


title: Atlantic Monthly subscription!

text: I'm still waiting for my first issue!  I expect it any day now.  It is a good magazine that I enjoy (or have enjoyed in the past.:)


title: Best Magazine for Intelligent Liberals

text: If you have any intelligent liberal friends on your gift giving list, a subscription to this magazine makes a great gift that keeps on giving. Perfect for people who think for themselves as opposed to regurgitating CNN or FOX.


title: Five Stars

text: fast and great price


title: Not for me

text: Did not relate to it, food and wine are my passions. I didn't realize you had you had to be rich and old to enjoy the magazine.


title: Most recipes are just too weird

text: I thought that I would really like this magazine since I love to cook; however, I look through the magazine monthly and can hardly find a recipe that I really WANT to cook.  Plus, I find that there are some ingredients that are either difficult to find or are too expensive.


title: Okay Magazine... but way too many advertisements!

text: The accounts in Food & Wine are fun to read, and I've gotten many great recipes from the magazine.  However, I do have one major qualm with it: the advertisement to recipe ratio, is aggravating.  When I get a cooking magazine, I expect recipes, not ads galore.  Besides that, it is a fine magazine, but I would recommend something like Cooks Country (my favorite-the recipes are delicious, the tips helpful, the accounts of how the recipes came to be entertaining, and the format both attractive and easy to follow) instead.  Taste of Home is also a good choice.


title: Have not recieved it. it has been 2 months !!!!!!!

text:
I ordered it around the end of November and until now I have not yet received my first subscription!!!!!!

How long would it take for it to arrive ??????


title: no review

text: I have yet to recieve either magazine so I can not review, but to ask why have I not recieve a copy of the magazine?


title: First Rate

text:
This is the perfect magazine for those who like to cook and LOVE wine.  Most of the recipes do not call for advanced cuisine knowledge.  Many are designed for the fast-paced lifestyle of the USA.
The wine segments are very current and accurate.  I live within 2 hours drive of Champagne, Mosel, Rhine, and Alsace wine regions.  There have been many articles focusing on these areas and I know from experience that the reporting is first class and highly reliable.
Cheers


title: Damaged!

text: What’s a shame! The cover came in ruined and ripped. The other pages are also wrinkled up! Not a good package!!

title: Would be nice if it would come in the mail.....

text: Still waiting to receive my first magazine....its been 6 weeks since I purchased my subscription, will update when I receive the magazine.

title: Gave it as a gift

text: Awesome gift for stocking stuffer.


title: Great gift/stocking stuffer

text: gave it as a gift and the person loves it!


title: where are my kindle versions??

text: I had a year's subscription and downloaded the kindle versions as well.  I really liked the kindle versions, so i recycled the hard copies, thinking i would always have access to the kindle copies.  I let the subscription end and guess what?  The kindle versions are no longer available.  I hadn't read one or two issues.  Live and learn.


title: My favorite!

text: This is my favorite magazine.  I love the recipes and the articles, I can't wait till it comes each month... and they have some issues available for the iPad.


title: Good product

text: Takes forever to get here

title: Magazine hasn't arrived

text: I ordered this magazine in November 2009.  It's February and I have yet to receive a copy!


title: Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous!

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for years, and have found it to be the best cooking magazine I have ever come across for the serious amatuer cook.  They focus on a theme, and the chefs who submit recipies do not just give a recipie ... they write an article about the steps involved in preparation.  It allows me to turn out high-quality food every time!


title: Subscription fail

text: This magazine was scheduled to arrive by 1/5. It is 2/9 and I still have not seen it.

title: Favorite magazine from child to now.

text: What's not like?!  Southern Living has it all.  From food recipes, to decorating to house plans, what restaurants to go to in the south.  If you could get only one magazine, this is it.


title: Excellent Magazine

text: Love the articles and recipes.  Also like articles about new chefs coming up.  And wine festivals.


title: Saveur, a Fascinating Magazine

text: Believe it or not, I found this magazine in my dentist's office.  The copy I was reading was the one on Italian food.  It was like a guide of places to visit in Italy.  There were restaurants listed and the food each restaurant served.  It was like reading a travel guide that was enhanced both with  history and food.  (And recipes!)


title: This magazine is fantastic! Gives suggestions for a new dish when you ...

text: This magazine is fantastic!  Gives suggestions for a new dish when you need it.


title: Good Mag

text: I really enjoy this magazine.  It has given me lots of ideas for how I cook at home.  The recipies are great as are the wine recomendations.  Some of it can be a bit trendy, but knowing the trends can be helpful.


title: Tasty review...

text: My husband is a culinary student, so I ordered this magazine subscription.  He looks forward to each issue, and is always finding ideas when he reads F&W.  I know we'll subscribe for many years to come.  This is a fun magazine for those who enjoy cooking, both at home or in a professional setting.


title: The recipes are awesome!!!!!

text: This magazine is the best. I was a bit flustered for the holidays because I was not sure exactly what I wanted to cook. But after receiving this magazine I was able to come up with a menu and everything came out exactly as the recipe predicted.


title: Great Magazine

text: I really enjoy this magazine.... I love to cook and subscribe to MANY foodie magazines. This is one of my top favs. I agree that the articles don't alwasy interest me, but the recepies are great. I have cooked many things from food and wine and have loved them all.... The recipes are not all "easy" to make and can take a lot of time, so they are not for someone who's looking for quick and simple weekday dinners, or maybe not the best for people who dont have much experience cooking... but I love to cook and find this to be a great recipe book!


title: Outstanding Food and Wine.

text: I love this magazine. It has great recipes with wine pairings and good wine evaluations.  It has excellent holiday menus with recipes and wine pairings.


title: martha martha martha!

text: it's true, she's kind of too perfect...i relish stories about how difficult she is. i realize, however, that it comes from pure jealousy. who else but martha can make pine cones and dried grass look glamorous rather than "kountry"? who but martha can whip up canapes for 40, while shingling her roof and washing her dog? no one. this magazine is for the meticulous, or those lucky souls with tons of extra time on their hands. martha is the leona helmsley of entertaining. be her guest, not one of her staff, and you're guaranteed to be impressed.


title: better than average

text: as women's magazines go, jane is pretty great. former editor in chief at sassy, (the best girls' magazine when i was in high school) jane pratt's clean, quirky style is refreshing. real women write for jane, they all make fun of each other, but in a gentle, sweet way. the articles are pretty much what you find in any women's magazine, but somehow less fawning. celebrity interviews are held with people they care about, not just whoever happens to be popular.


title: a must for the gourmet

text: a friend got me subscription to food and wine for my birthday last year, and i look forward to it every month. it's great because it's set up for a variety of different kinds of readers. recipies are easy to find, and organized into several different categories, great if a reader wants to use the magazine as a cookbook. food and wine also has great bargain & collectable wine tips, and fun interviews with chefs, from famous to obscure. if you're into regional cuisine, food and wine covers more than the typical napa valley/provence circuit.


title: Food 7 wine

text: Saw the next issue on news stand and it was full of ads compared to the one I had read.  So I cancelled it.


title: Good magazine.

text: Love the magazine. It was delivered as promised.


title: I Had Issues Even Getting It

text: I ordered Food and Wine magazine on 6/21/10, even though they estimated I wouldn't get my first issue until August.  Here it is, September 3rd and no magazine.  They apparently kept pushing the Estimated Ship Date, now scheduled to arrive 9/8/10.  I'm not holding my breath.  I probably would have been better off getting my hands on a copy and going directly to the source.  I've ordered many things through Amazon, however this will be my last magazine subscription.


title: You will never get off their email list

text: If you ever get on their email list realize the opt-in is completely non-functional and apparently you will get emails for the rest of your life from them.


title: BEWARE:  Unauthorized renewal!

text: BEWARE!  They just slammed us into an automatic renewal and we never signed up for automatic renewal.  This amounts to hacking our account and stealing the renewal price!  I have never had any magazine or other publication do something like this.  We did not want to continue with the magazine so we did not renew - yet it kept coming.  Most trustworthy organizations purge payment info after they get it - but Food & Wine (and their owners - Time Inc.) are obviously not trustworthy when it comes to payment info - they'll use it to slam you into an unauthorized  subscription renewal.  The reason for the cancellation?  We found the recipes and articles were fine, but finding them buried in the pages upon pages of advertising was a real problem.  We're not willing to pay for a magazine filled with ads.  We cancelled Bon Apetite a few years ago for the exact same reason.  Want something far better than these ad carriers?  Try the new Milk Street.  ZERO ads and GREAT recipes and cooking tips.  IF you're a true foodie, you'll read it cover to cover - worth every penny paid.


title: Interesting articles and tons of recipes

text: I've only received one issue so far but I like it so far.  Despite the ads, there is a surprising number of recipes.  I haven't had a chance to try any of them, but they look simple and delicious.


title: Unhappy

text: I thought it would be for everyday cooks...not.  I found most of the recipes required out of the ordinary ingredients. Sorry I subscribed.


title: Excellent Information

text: I love the articles on ancient America. since I collect these early artifacts, it is very informative.


title: American Archaeology is a must have!

text: American Archaeology is the only national magazine dedicated to covering the archaeology of the Americas. The publication offers readers a chance to learn about the exciting world of archaeology and presents information in an easily accessible way. In addition to highlighting the outstanding work of The Archaeological Conservancy, American Archaeology covers the latest in significant research and discovery, and is a favorite among professionals and amateurs in the field.  A must have for anyone interested in this topic!


title: Slow to confirm

text: Over a month since placing this order and I have yet to receive an issue or an confirmation of my subscription.


title: Cant live without it

text: BASSMASTERS!!!


title: Won't cancel subscription

text: Once this magazine gets your payment information they will charge your card annually for as long as the account is good. I have tried several times to stop subscription with no luck. I have disputed credit card and they win the dispute and get their greedy hands on the payment. Forced to cancel card.


title: Love It !

text: If your Flat Screen doesn't produce the sound you like then this is a MUST HAVE!  I use it every time I watch my TV ..... From sports to news


title: Keep sending to the wrong address

text: I purchased this magazine for my nephew who is in federal prison but the publisher keeps sending it to my address and will not change the address. I already had to cancel the subscription once because they said they could not change the address in the middle of the subscription. The address on my subscription page is clearly his address, yet they keep sending the magazine to me. I would never subscribe again, completely unsatisified.


title: Still Waiting...

text: I ordered this in the middle of March.  If it takes much longer, it will miss the whole Spring season...  Sure would be nice to have what I paid for.  What in the world takes so long to mail a magazine?


title: Poor outdoor journalism

text: Over the years, the magazine has become less about bass fishing and more about pro fishermen. It is now a fan book for bass pros to attract followers. No outdoor journalism here, just info on pro fishermen.


title: The magazine itself is fantastic! Love it- I am a lifetime archaeologist wannabe ...

text: The magazine is fantastic! Love it- I am a lifetime archaeologist wannabe and reading about the new discoveries or keeping up with where the latest lectures are, field work or seminars are help me look forward to when I may be able to go some time! I'll be renewing.


title: High on great content, low on ads!!

text: I look forward to receiving this magazine every few months and I read it cover to cover the same day I get it.  It's a truly fascinating magazine with amazing photography.  Definitely my favorite thing to read in the world!!


title: Wonderful Historical/Archeological Magazine!

text: Overall, a great product that is scholarly as well as entertaining. This magazine is so far the best subscription on the subject of Archeology I have purchased, and is a wonderful addition to any archeologist's or historian's collection.


title: Extraordinary magazine

text: Archaeology magazine is superbly written with beautiful photos.I love to travel to destinations and immerse myself in the historical flavor of the region, and this magazine combines both of my interests.I just received my first issue and am already re-reading it! It's one to keep.


title: Current world archaeology

text: Outstanding for archaeology & history buffs. I read each issue cover to cover very interesting.


title: Very Interesting & intriguing!

text: Love this magazine. So interesting. One of the only magazines I read cover to cover and want more!!


title: Great and informative mag

text: Great magizine


title: Building pyramids at ancient sites worldwide.

title: Review

text: No further comment at the moment.  But this is a helpful book which anyone in the field or with a need can appreciate.


title: Archaeology

text: Excellent magazine.  It was purchased and renewed as a giift. My brother says he reads from cover to cover and really fnjoys the publication


title: Archeology magazine

text: I normally enjoy science and history magazines so I thought I would enjoy Archeology magazine. However the font and article content of this magazine makes it a dry and uninteresting read.  The photography is so-so. Maybe I expected more adventure to the articles, or history...this magazine did not meet my expectations.


title: Excellent

text: Outstanding magazine!<br />Excellent


title: One Star

text: Don't have, yet..


title: Great info

text: good overview of current events in the field.  Written for both the knowledgeable layman and the expert in this field.


title: Archaeology Magazine

text: Despite the arrogant and pompous attitudes and opinions of many of the academian archaeologists, this is a wonderful magazine. Many of them don't have a clue!


title: A good Archaeology Magazine

text: Awesome magazine. Many great articles over a wide range of locations and periods. Definitely something for everyone. Used to get it all the time until I moved. Thanks to Prime I am getting Archaeology Magazine again.


title: Excellent source of information

text: I love learning about this stuff. And having it right there to read and look at is great


title: Good

text: Much better writting then Natogeo History.


title: Great gift

text: Wonderful magazine for those interested in the subject - I give it every year as a gift.  The person always asks for a renewal for his birthday.


title: Great magazine

text: I ordered this magazine subscription as a birthday present for my father.  He is an armchair archaeologist and has thoroughly enjoyed reading this magazine.  It has great world coverage of different events without being so academic as to bore the lay reader.  The articles are thorough and interesting.  I can't say that archaeology has interested me in the past, but I find myself looking forward to each magazine and read it cover to cover.  I definitely recommend this magazine.


title: Awesome

text: Great magazine


title: Said I have not paid -- yes I did

text: I subscribed  to this magazine back in July  and my credit card account was charged for the subscription, but still  got a failure to pay noticed. This is unacceptable. The magazine content is good,  though.


title: Good Job

text: This response is several years late. Did not know there was a responce asked.  So let me say that this was a great easy chirstmas gift to a friend years ago.  It was well done.  Thanks late. Terrance


title: One of the best two opera periodicals

text: Opera News is all the good things the other reviewers have written.  It is a must read for opera fans.  Another super periodical for this audience is The Opera Quarterly, published by Oxford University Press-1 800 852 7323.  This contains fascinating articles, plus book and record reviews.  I am so happy to read both these excellent magazines, and eagerly await their arrival in the mail.


title: OH MY GOD!

text: I am a 16 year old singer and at the moment it is the only outlet I have to know what is going on in the world I WILL get involved in! I love it!


title: Good Gift

text: My grandson was delighted with this gift - a renewal for him.  He's an opera singer in New York City.


title: Leaves a bit to be desired

text: Opera News provides an invaluable service to opera fans with its thorough coverage of the Saturday Met broadcasts.  That being said, its bourgeois attitude does little to stir up additional audience for an art which is unfortunately dying.


title: All set up for Opera!

text: I am a young singer who is really excited about what's ahead.  I love Amazon because I can find everything I need.  Opera News teaches me about all the professional artist, I get Classical singer which talks to me as a young artist with audition listings, and Voice Lessons To Go by Vaccarino (two volumes of singing lessons on CD- yey!).  Now if I could just get an agent of this site!


title: Not Tired of Wired

text:
As a faithful reader for many years I am pleased to report that WIRED still brings me the most innovative articles, thought-provoking "fiction," and eye-appealing layout. Although just about all of the other DOT COM-era pubs have faded away, WIRED continues to put out fascinating articles each and every month.  I have to fight my 14 year old son for each issue. I have even caught my Luddite wife flipping through the magazine for its ad content or the occasional chart.  When my 10 year old daughter starts reading WIRED it may be time for a second subscription.

Despite the deluge of online material still available, there is something to look forward to each month. When you flip through WIRED, you never know what the next page will bring. Industrial Technology, Internet Technology, Cyber-Politics, New products, Ethics, WIRED covers both the domestic US and International cyber beats as well.  I know of no other single publication that covers this breadth of content. Even the advertisements are special and unique.

title: Great Resource

text: I have been reading SM for about 3 years now.  I have it in rotation with Money, Black Enterprise, Kiplingers, Forbes and Fortune. I only recently officially subscribed. With anything investing/finance related, you need to do your homework.  It has given me great tips and information I've further investigated to make my own decisions.  I will remain a customer and will be sending gift subscriptions to my Mom, sisters and brother.


title: Just another arm of the NewsCorp propaganda machine

text: First and foremost, SmartMoney magazine is owned by Rupert Murdoch.  Secondly, the misinformation and half-truths that routinely appear in this magazine are an insult to the concept of objective reporting.


title: SmartMoney is a smart buy

text: Quality magazine for people interested in saving and investing.  This magazine doesn't get too complicated so it is good for novices.  The topics are timely and well written.


title: Easy, Yet Interesting Read

text: "Smart Money" magazine is very informative, but at the same time, easy to read. I had been wanting to sample it for some time. My husband gave me a subscription, and I turned around and gave one to my brother for Christmas.


title: Makes a Great Gift!

text: Great!!  Awesome info included.  Makes a great gift!


title: Smart Money

text: Not a bad magazine.  I haven't really had the chance to explore all of the articles yet.


title: Nightmare Customer Service: Ten Things Your Personal Finance Magazine Won't Tell You

text: I cancelled my auto-renewal on the Smart Money website in April 2009 and saved the online confirmation.  I am stil receiving threatening letters from the "collection manager" for not paying for a subscription that began in July 2009.  Unfortunately, there is no email contact information on their website for magazine customers and no phone number either.  This is really frustrating and inexplicable for a personal finance magazine.


title: Looks Good, but I Never Received This Magazine

text:
This magazine looks good.........I do wish I had received it!
I have sent messages to the seller, but they went unanswered.  I was looking forward to getting and reading the magazine.

I don't think I will order any more magazine subscriptions from amazon. but I have always been happy with the books, CDs and DVDs I have ordered.

Anne


title: Subscription

text: I purchased a subscription 11/30/09 and I have yet to receive the magazine.  Who do I contact?


title: insightful but limited

text: not as broad or specefic in analysis. uses commentary and editorial type format for a large portion.


title: money smarts means smart money

text: as a working man living the American dream (its still alive) i needed that extra knowledge .knowledge that could help me defend my self within the pros and cons of big business in America and the international community.  reading the first issue of smart money,brightened my outlook,gave me confidence that i had someone in my corner a real some one to watch my back.the writers are knowledgeable and forth rite the information is on a superior time line.the bottom line is  accurate information. i recommend smart money to all who show interest too increasing their wealth .  make your money the smart way.<br />  seven arrows


title: Received very quick!

text: This magazine is very useful and contains lots of advise.  I received it in the time that was stated.


title: Horrible company that doesn't communicate at all.

text: I have contacted Smart Money Magazine about 10 times letting them know that my address had changed and they never changed it.  After 6 months of not receiving the magazine, I asked to cancel and they never got back to me.  Horrible Company.  Whatever you do, don't move or need to talk to them about anything.


title: Better than I had imagined!

text: I purchased a value-package of this magazine and Kiplinger's, and I've been thrilled with both. About 20% of the articles and info are over my head, but the balance is understandable, helpful, and easily applied to my average money management skills.  I've since ordered a SmartMoney subscription for three friends and relatives!


title: Have not yet received first issue

text: I have not yet received the first issue - I ordered this on 12/4/07 and it is now 1/7/07.


title: Great Magazine

text: I just recently received my first copy of the magazine subscription "Smart Money" and I just really enjoy it. The text is informative but uses language that makes market concepts easy to understand. Especially for students entering college in a business-related field, this magazine subscription is a great way to stay current on market trends.


title: disappointed

text: I just received an e-mail that smartmoney will cease publication and that I will get a weekly business magazine as a replacement.


title: Smart Money

text: I just received my first issue and I find the articles are informative, timely and easily understood.  I purchased this magazine mainly for my son who follows the market trends.  This was a wise purchase.


title: smart money mag ordering through amazon

text:
I ordered this magazine thru amazon Got it delivered in less time than they mention. Delivery has been continuous and i don't recall missing a single issue.

Changed my address couple of months ago and delivery continues to my new location.

Magazine - its not a bad one if u can get the subscription for a good price. Their content is educative and brings the reader upto speed with recent developments in investing.
I wish their articles dig deeper and provide more insight into the workings of a fund, fund manager, etc. Some of them appear to be written to meet publishing deadline and hence, stops short of going one step further to provide its reader with info that would help him discern where his investment is most likely headed towards.

Summary - Worth my money and looks good on my desk. Visitors think I am savvy when they see it lying on my desk or coffee table.


title: Although I prefer Forbes, this is still a 'must read'

text:
As an investment professional, I am a voracious reader of business periodicals.  I subscribe to and read four major business magazines and three financial newspapers on a regular basis.  In rank order among the big three, my favorite is Forbes, then BusinessWeek, followed by Fortune.  But don't let that dissuade you from subscribing.  Fortune is still a very valuable publication and I try not to miss an issue.  What does Fortune bring to the table that still makes it so vital?  Several things:
- The most in-depth feature stories among the three magazines.  They are thoroughly researched and Fortune works hard to interpret the facts and draw conclusions, as opposed to just aggregating and reporting information.
- More than either of the other two, Fortune will profile prominent executives, giving you a unique window into their philosophy and how they rose to prominence.
- The investing section near the back is always decent and there's a reasonably good focus on technology, both devices and companies.
Why is it my least favorite?
- Fortune clearly has a liberal bias, with frequent articles on employee rights, racial or gender-oriented issues, philanthropic causes such as AIDS, and the general plight of the poor, the elderly, or working mothers.  Nothing wrong with that, and some of these articles are eye-opening.  But I mainly read business magazines with an eye toward investing, so these types of articles fall outside that scope.
- Yeah, there are too many ads and special advertising sections.  It is a necessary part of the world of magazines (or else you'd be paying triple the price for a subscription).  But it's still annoying.
Although they seem to be substitutes for each other, Fortune, Forbes, and BusinessWeek each provide something different enough that I see the value in subscribing to all three (and I have been doing so for a decade).  If you're looking to go beyond the weekly headlines and want business-oriented articles that don't always have an investment angle, then Fortune seems to be the best bet.

I am a voracious reader of business periodicals.  I subscribe to and read four business magazines and three financial newspapers on a regular basis.  Between Forbes, Fortune and BusinessWeek, I always look most forward to receiving my next issue of Forbes.  Why?  Several reasons:
- The articles are generally shorter and more "to the point" than Fortune.  Forbes is also not as beholden as BusinessWeek is to cover the hot news stories.
- This magazine is the best of the three for discovering new investment ideas and it is generally more investor focused than either Fortune or BW.
- The editorials throughout the magazine are usually thought-provoking and I guarantee you will develop your own favorite columnists whom you will look forward to reading in each issue
- Forbes has a politically conservative and pro-business slant (with Steve Forbes as Editor-in-Chief, that should be no surprise).
- Forbes offers two supplemental issues, which are quarterly.  Forbes ASAP is entirely focused on technology and many articles are actually thought pieces written by influential executives, investors, and technology visionaries.  Forbes FYI features lighter articles which are thematically aimed at the upper class.  You will probably find some of the stories (and the ads) irrelevant to your life (we're not all millionaires yet, are we?).  But it's an amusing magazine and it's a good break for me from the stream of more business-oriented stuff I read.
I do enjoy all three of the major business magazines I mentioned.  But if you made me drop two of them, I'd keep Forbes. The reasonable price is just icing on the cake and gives you no excuse not to try it out.  I bet you'll be hooked.


title: Still bleeding edge, which makes it different

text:
The best thing about Wired is that it has stayed true to its roots over all of these years.  Wired has always had a forward-looking, sophisticated attitude toward technology.  You can tell that every article is well-researched and no feature in the magazine is an afterthought.  In every issue, you will find:
- stories about the unsung heroes who are really responsible for pushing the limits of technology
- some politically-oriented article that shows the growing interplay between technology and politics
- cool digital and electronic gadgets (that usually cost a lot of $$)
- fun stuff like Jargon watch, Wired vs. Tired, and even some of the ads (how often can you say that?)
Beyond that, I find Wired is the best place to read about things like the melding of human and computer and the progess of technology outside of the U.S.  So, I find every issue interesting.  It's a little less useful to me as an investor in technology stocks, but it does offer me that broader perspective on technology that helps put investable ideas into context.  The clincher is the price - a small sacrifice for so much intriguing and entertaining content.  I once considered discontinuing my subscription, but realized that it's so different from everything else I read and just one decent article an issue makes it worthwhile.  Very glad I kept it.  So, if you've never read Wired, I would give it definitely give it a try.


title: The best personal finance mag out there

text:
I have been a subscriber for 5 or 6 years now and I always find each issue to be valuable.  SmartMoney strikes a good balance between investment advice/coverage and information/articles that deal with the other aspects of your financial life.  Among the features I look forward to every month:
- Ten Things:  a "watch out" list of 10 things that you should know about the different professionals you interact with (your dentist, your accountant, a real estate broker, etc.).  Always an eye-opener.
- Stock Screen:  Paul Sturm is a knowledgeable, value-oriented journalist who puts together a list each month of 8-10 stocks that make it through a rigid screen of several characteristics.  Each month, he features a different screen and he uses a good mix of quantitative characteristics and common sense to generate the list.
- Feature articles that profile common people and the serious personal finance problems they have endured (e.g., collecting on insurance, fighting the IRS, traveling overseas).
SmartMoney is frequently compared to Money magazine, but Money is often more narrowly focused on investing and it sometimes dumbs down its articles.  I also read BusinessWeek, Forbes and Fortune regularly.  While they all have their place, none provides the depth and common sense focus of SmartMoney when it comes to personal finance.  I have photocopied and saved countless articles and I sometimes refer to them years later.  ...  my advice is to get a subscription now - it's definitely worth it.


title: Bottom line:  worth the money

text: I've been a subscriber for about five years now.  A couple of times, I've considered not renewing.  Then I'll get an issue that seems to make the entire year's subscription worth it.  Stuff like washing machines, new cars, computer monitors, even sunscreen.  At a minimum, these truly independent reviews (the organization is non-profit and the magazine is ad-free) focus you on the pivotal issues regarding each product and provide questions to ask in making your purchase.  At its best, it pretty much does your screening for you and all that's left for you to do is choose between 2 or 3 brands.  I also have to admit I get a good chuckle out of the last page, where consumers have submitted ads or product descriptions that are either misleading or just erroneous.  Every issue is not necessarily useful.  I think it's ridiculous for them to review things like cereal or restaurants, which I feel are personal preferences, or detergents, which are pretty similar nowadays.  But think about this magazine subscription as insurance against a bad purchase or as an investment that can pay you back several times over by saving you hundreds of dollars.  Bottom line:  it's worth the money.


title: Lives up to its name!

text: This magazine is a fabulous little gem from the Wall Street Journal.  It has sensible, useful articles that can be used in your everyday financial planning.


title: Excellent magazine

text: I recommend this magazine to anyone with an interest in the financial world. Very informative.


title: Makes me harder than chinese math

text: Yeah baby, I am sure that all the letters are in fact absolutely true.  I mean who doesn't want to see their wife get laid by 10 large black guys every night?  I know that's why I got married.


title: Science hijacked by leftist political ideologues

text:
I subscribed thinking i was going to be reading the science focused journal I remember—written slightly above the level of most non-scientists. This once world-class, rigorously objective magazine was noted for challenging lay readers and respecting their intelligence, while exposing them to rigorous, timely research and intriguing features that summarized findings across a broad array of topics and disciplines.

To my horror I found that Scientific American has been captured by woke, pop culture ideologues and now is little more than “progressively” spun polemic that uses science as a vehicle for archly liberal political and cultural doctrine.

Scientific American used to  publish authors with doctorate level training, strong publication record, and research activity. The authors today are mostly staff writers or freelancers without scientific credentials, or records of contributions to their fields.  What you get is a pop magazine style and level of writing that promotes a strongly liberal world view.

If it weren’t such a tragic loss, this magazine would be an entertaining parody with the premise: what if a traditional science journal was taken over by MSNBC and edited by Rachel Maddow and The Squad?

The result is this sad satire: today’s Scientific American. How did this happen? Who let this happen? Return science writing to scientists who seek to educate, challenge and inform, rather than indoctrinate or feed ideological pablum to like-minded consumers of mainstream media.


title: Scientific American - what is there to say

text: They really need to start printing an electronic version. Still great!!! If you want civilization to continue, you must subscribe.


title: Scientific American Magazine

text: Scientific American is a monthly magazine written to anyone comfortable with the scientific lingo on any of a wide range of research subjects.  It shows what's going on at the forefront of science breakthroughs and what they could mean in the marketplace when completed.It offers a periscope view of these topics written by the people doing the research, in as clear and communicative a way as can be. Every issue boggles the mind, is actually an understatement.


title: Favorite magazine subscription

text: Love the diversity of scientific topics SA writes about. From evolution, to nanotechnology found in nature, to the newest earth like planets found outside our solar system.


title: Scientific American seems to have a left-leaning agenda.

text:
I have been a subscriber for more than twenty years, but for several years now I have seen the magazine moving more and more to the left. Where climate change is concerned the staff of S A appears to consider it settled that human civilization is responsible. I never see any articles that consider evidence such as the earth goes through periodic cooling and warming phases or that the sun is going through a warm phase (as evidenced by the fact that Mars is getting warmer, too).

I would prefer to see objective evidence on both sides rather than articles that presuppose, when there is evidence to the contrary, that one side of the argument is correct.

I will let my subscription expire and find a source of objective, hard, science.


title: Great magazine

text: I decided to get a subscription after being assigned readings from the magazine for a college biology class. Very pleased with the magazine and the speed at which it was shipped.


title: Right Wing Nut Jobs are Back Here Again - Ignore them, it's a great magazine

text: First off, you get a decent amount of invigorating scientific articles written and cited by people who know what they're talking about. Anyone on here that is asking for politics to be left out is a half wit. First, there is a large portion of this country that denies science so you know, that's kind of part of it. Second, do you know why it always seems like progressives have such close-ties to science? Oh yeah because they are actually smart and educated, oh and they likes facts!! Science is fact-based, you can actually learn it and test it yourself when you aren't a moron. So yes, maybe educate yourself before you try to read documents based on science, fact, and an underlying requirement of being educated yourself!


title: GIFT

text: THIS WAS A GIFT PURCHASE TO A FAMILY MEMBER THAT LOVES THE SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE HUMAN BEING THAT ARE OFTEN THE TOPICS IN THIS PERIODICAL.

title: very disappointed! too many political articles

text: Very disappointed! Too many political articles. It isn't  a scientific magazine; it is a political magazine. We don't like it very much. Never subscribe it again


title: American Icon Reduced to a Political Rag

text: Thank you Amazon for supporting unbiased customer reviews.  I've  been a subscriber to Scientific American for over 40yrs.  During this time I've always had the opinion that if the current issue did not have content that was of interest to me personally that the next issue or two would eventually have some technically interesting content. However since SA issued an unscientific and politically biased statement condemning the Trump administration for their  political views this publication has transformed itself to a 90% politically biased publication.  I have since canceled  my subscription never to return.  Scientific American is not the publication that the founders originally visioned for the  for the technically orientated American citizen.  I wonder how this period will be portrayed in future  SA's "100 Years Ago"  if the publication is still around.


title: President of the United States

text: Scientific America has for many years been a resource for those of us that long for scientific information, breakthrough’s and explanations for common riddles. This is the first time ever in well over one hundred years this periodical has endorsed a canadate for President of the United States. Years of pollical controversy, wars and scientific findings that have changed the word as we know it have had little to no political influence in this honored publication. Now with a new editor (April 2020) previously with the Washington Post, the years of unbiast information has stopped. The reputation of thousands of contributors and those readers that trusted them with this the perfect format for unbiased views has been changed to a soapbox. A soapbox to push an agenda far from the nature of scientific study.  This long-time gem of information has now been reduced to a supermarket tabloid.


title: It definitely has declined it “ scientific “ rigor.

text: Unfortunately Scientific American has “ dumbed “ down it’s once very high quality magazine to a great extent.<br />It’s very sad. I started reading it in 1972 and the decline has been precipitous. Today it much more based on emotion, feelings, being green, being woke etc. than ever before. I definitely do not recommend it for purchase.


title: Not what it used to be

text: There are still good physical sciences articles from time to time, but it's drifting away from what it used to be.  The MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) article was the last good one I've read.  From my point of view, there's only about four really good articles a year, so not worth a subscription anymore.  It still beats most of the stuff in your supermarket checkout lane, but I won't be renewing after my current subscription runs out.


title: Social Progressive Magazine

text: I really used to love this magazine. I subscribed to it for a year and couldn’t stand the content. It’s much more about a progressive social agenda than science. Subscription canceled.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent magazine with cutting edge articles.


title: Virtue signaling American

text: Science is about being open to challenging the current dogma. This magazine perpetuates the issue with modern “science”. What ever happened to Nullius in verba?


title: Scientific American Subscription

text: This review was solicited before too soon.  I have yet to receive a magazine, which means a complete review of the process is not possible.  However, when I initially ordered the magazine, the website claimed I would receive the magazine by a certain date.  AFTER I paid for the magazine subscription, I received two more communications, each with a starting date further down the calendar than the one before.  I've now been told three different dates, the latest saying I will receive the March issue as my first issue- this for something ordered before Christmas.  Seems like an excessively long lead time in the electronic age.  The whole magazine industry appears to require unreasonably long lead times, though. Perhaps if I actually start receiving the magazine, I can give more stars, but my experience to date doesn't warrant more stars.


title: Bad Customer Service

text: I subscribed to the Scientific American Digital version about a year ago.  When it came up for renewal the magazine charged my credit card with no warning.  I have tried to get this charge reversed and the subscription cancelled but have been unsuccessful. First I logged in to my account. But there is no way to unsubscribe and also there is no way to delete your credit card number.  Next I emailed customer service asking them to refund the renewal fee and to cancel my subscription. They wrote back with the following comment: "Please clarify what assistance is needed?".  So, I wrote again with the following:"Please cancel my subscription!  Please refund the $40 you have charged my credit card for renewal starting in August 2016!  The website given below is unusable!".  They wrote back with the following comment: "Please clarify what assistance is needed?". What can a person do with a company that runs its customer service like this?


title: Changed for the worse

text: I used to love Scientific American in the 70s and 80s and saved all the issues. But I started noticing a fundamental dilemma: each issue had an article that was superficially science but mainly political, and always of a left-wing nature. If they labeled these articles as editorials, there would be no problem, but they always tried to pass them off as scientific truth. I dropped out. Then I started a subscription recently in order to not lose my airline miles. The January 2010 issue was a big disappointment. About half the articles had political messages, much worse than in the 80s. How sad to see a great magazine taken over by political ideologues.


title: Sliding Downhill

text:
Like many here, I have been a subscriber for more than 20 years and was a regular reader years before that.  I used to subscribe 3-4 years at a time, lately that's dropped to yearly and I will probably discontinue.  Here's why.

The last chief editor took the magazine down a notch in quantity and quality of authors & material, for example by using more reporting *about* science as opposed to peer reviewed articles by those *doing* science.  I was hoping to wait him out, however the newest editor seems to be accelerating the previous trend as well as adding a "color" to the overall offering.  The authors of articles are more and more not the people doing the science and (unprofessionally) often insert themselves into the article.

Take the September 2011 issue for example: it begins with 20 pages (of 80 total) from "the editors", a politician commenting on science (Bloomberg) and various "science writers".  Only on page 21 do we get a 2 page article from those engaged in doing science.  Then more writers and editors until page 30 when we get a 6 page general piece on "harnessing a city's potential for creativity and innovation..." (not "hard science"), followed by another similar piece.  Pages 42-56 are more stuff by writers, then 2 pages on why "Mayors are often better equipped than presidents to cut greenhouse gases".  Then it's writer, architect, SciFi writer...  Academic qualifications of the writers are not included, so it's hard to tell without doing your own research which if any of these are the Nobel Prize winning authors that are the oft mentioned (past) foundation of the publication.  Are they masking the qualifications of writers or do they feel it's unimportant for the reader to understand the credibility of the writers?

My relationship with SciAm took a hard wrong turn in the June 2011 issue; it had a quote (page 16) that from its tone I suspected of being at best out of context and at worst plain wrong.  For the first time since I started reading SciAm I felt compelled to check the accuracy of something there and in fact it was both out of context and badly quoted.  It appears the writer misused their editorial position to impart a personal slant to the reporting (i.e. activism).

 The airwaves and the internet are full of low quality, opinionated, biased, politically oriented, activist generated materials written by pseudo-experts.  I don't want that junk for "free"; I certainly won't pay $44 a year for it.  The chief editor needs to do a reality check on who's buying and why they buy among the longer term readers.

Whether the magazine and I can reconcile remains to be seen; it's hard to part ways after so long, but at this point it's not looking good.

UPDATE 20130422: Ended my 32 year unbroken subscription.


title: Catering to the Twitter Woke and White-Phobic Academia

text:
Sci Am has been my favorite overall science magazine for as long as I can remember. focusing solely on its mission: science. But now, that has all changed. An anti-establishment, white-phobic blanket of Twitter-appeasing hatefulness and Kendi-X "racism-in-every-molecule" viewpoint has been pulled over the corpse of the magazine thanks to its new editors, hired no doubt to perform the posturing necessary to protect the board from the fanatic cancel-culture mob. The only demographics which really count now are the Ivy League white-phobes and the fourth wave feminists.

But what about the real science, you ask? There are still some good articles, but the pervasive odor of misandry and racism cast a twilight tone on the entire magazine. The politics are SO obvious and SO slanted and SO finger pointing that it calls into doubt the very content of every single article. Was the best source on Topic A tossed out because he was a white male? Was Choice A made because the writer is on the Twitter cancel-culture circuit? Because she or he or "they" have written articles for the Harvard Crimson attacking male students?

It's hard to believe SA doesn't pass everyone through a Woke screening now.

My only hope is that circulation decreases to the point that the board reboots their cowardice and atones for their betrayal of a once fine and objective science magazine.


title: High Quality, Well Written Up-to-Date Science Reports.

text: I have had a subscription to American Scientific magazine for many years. The scientific articles are well -written and always interesting.


title: Now Run By Left Wing Political Hacks

text:
My family has had subscriptions to Scientific American for three generations.

I have old copies announcing the Wright brothers famous flights.

Sadly times have changed!

In the past 20 years this once great magazine has been turned into a political left wing activist rag.

Every single issue now has several articles about global warming just for starters.

If you are a left winger then this is the rag for you.

If you want to read about "Industry and Enterprise" and/or "Mechanical and other Improvements" forget it; this ain't that!

2/3's of this magazine is now devoted to political discourse.

If you want science then get a subscription to "Science News" or "Science" if you can afford it.

Don't waste your time or money on this propaganda until they scrap their editorial slant and go back to their roots.

I am sure their subscription numbers are sinking fast!


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine


title: Keep politics out of it

text: Too much liberal slant. Just want facts not opinion


title: Perfect example of politically biased pseudo-science

text: What was once scientifically relevant information has become nothing but a bunch of scientist-wannabe bloggers trying to manipulate readers towards a political agenda.  Politics has no place in science, and ScAm is just that... a scam.


title: Canceled My Subscription anbd Got A Refund

text:
I have canceled my subscription and got a refund as I will vote with my pocketbook.

I suggest that others who do not like what this magazine has become do the same.

Do not support such tin foil hatted self indulgent buffoonery.

This magazine is now a waste of time and money.

I give it 3-5 years before it folds.


title: No issues received

text: I was supposed to have received my 1st issue by now. I was quoted between Jan 7 - 14. Maybe it will pick up with Feb issue?


title: Great magazine. Keep up the great

text: received first issue yesterday. Great magazine. Keep up the great articles


title: Superb Magazine!

text: Real science, not the usual right wing anti-science slant, especially re: climate. No Rush Limbaugh is not a climatologist. Buy this magazine. It is superb!


title: Best in Overall Topics

text: Covers broad range of topics on overview without equations.  More diverse range of topics needed.  Geosciences neglected, such as geochemistry, mining, oil exploration.


title: Mediocre science and lots of politics

text: The bulk of this magazine focuses on soft science and social commentary with a thinly disguised political agenda.  There is little emphasis on physical or applied science.  The lack of objectivity makes it just another manipulative piece of pulp.


title: In the 1990s, *Fad-SciAm* replaced SciAm

text:
I am terribly impressed with the reviews by Thom Wikman, Iain Massey and Bryan Catey. In Grade 13 my Bio teacher impressed me with the idea that I should be able to read SciAm as a High School Graduate.  For 15 years I read every (non-advertising) word in every issue I received.  Month by month it became more and more odd to me.  Why those articles on Soviet weaponry?  Why were they so fascinated with the Soviets, and with communism itself?

I kept reading, still in trust.  Then the Environmentalism began to take over.  No longer were the communists a threat... Gorbachev had diluted it, partly in response to Reagan, and partly in response to economics.  Politically, the U.S.S.R. was a failure in economics and in the life and happiness of its citizenry.

Sci Am persisted in one or two articles per issue on *Russian* stuff.  There could be little doubt, they were promoting Russian style communism as a political ideal, even after it proved clearly violent against citizens, lead to massive economic failure and mass starvation, depression, alcoholism and so forth.  By SciAm's editorial policies, we Westerners *needed* to be reined in and taught to adhere to the Collectivist party line!

But as the fear of nuclear winter faded, the new doomsday scenario was the Chlorine monoxide Ozone Hole and Anthropogenic Global Warming. Even in the 1980s AGW was blatantly false.

CO2 on Earth was at an 800 million year ebb (atm [CO2] =.027%).  It was so low that plants were evolving new ways to capture CO2 (Crassulacean Acid and C4 plants).  In 1000 AD Scotland had vinyards and a climate equivalent to today's Southern France!  Thee facts were plain in 1980, yet SciAm editors could not be bothered with them.  So...

Scientific American is NOT scientific.  Its editors play into fear-mongering and readily fall for transparent hoaxes (the three top Global Warming Scientists should spend at LEAST 25 years in jail)!  No, the editors of SciAm are NOT scientific and should be embarrassed out of their positions.


title: Amazing waste of paper

text: Incredibly BAD and not the same Scientific magazine it once was. Now it's filled with woke orthodoxy and garbage instead of scientific articles.


title: Deceptive sales practice, the content is ok

text:
I have been subscribed from 2011. And I love Scientific American articles (most of them at least). As of 2017, I am still subscribed to the digital edition only, but that is going to change.

In 2015, I switched from print-only to print+digital. Every year I manually renew my subscription, and that was my intention in 2016, until I noticed that digital part of the subscription was automatically renewed. To cancel the subscription you have to call 0800 number within 30 days (it goes without saying that I've noticed it too late). It was just a few clicks to subscribe, but I have to call an overseas phone number and probably talk with a sales representative to cancel the subscription. That kind of deceptive practice I didn't expect from Scientific American. This alone is the reason for one star, not the content of the magazine.

PS. If you want to know more about those kinds of practices look on the web for "Dark Patterns - User Interfaces Designed to Trick People". If you don't care about corporate behavior, please disregard one-star rating, the content is quite ok.

title: Selling out and a loss of scientific astuteness

text: I subscribed to this magazine for a number of years and found that it was really a delight to read. I was interested in science and the magazine challenged my knowledge as a student. I learned a great deal from this magazine over the years but in the recent years the quality has gone down substantially. The pages are beautiful to look at but the content has been dumbed down to the level of a tabloid. No more is the witty humor of the authors and the authority that used to come across in the material. I have discontinued my subscription and moved onto "American Scientist" which has not sold out the true science to sell magazines. I wish that Scientific American would learn that there are people out there who are really very interested in science and want an intellectual look into topics not a superficial glance.


title: we love our scientific american

text: we love our scientific american. best magazine ever, and I love that I am made aware of when my subscription is coming to an end so I know when to renew.


title: A present

text: I gave this magazine as a Christmas gift, it was loved so much that I continue to give it each year. Great read!


title: Gift

text: This magazine is an on going Christmas gift. Both people love it and share it with their son. Great magazine


title: What happened to the content?

text:
This was a first-rate magazine. I looked forward to its arrival each month and read it from cover to cover.  The articles had depth and the superb, scientific illustrations aided in understanding the text.  Now most of the articles are short, superfical teases.

In fairness, there are usually two good articles each month.  But, ten pages of the April issue were wasted on huge stock-photo-type illustrations.  These trite fillers ate space that could have been filled with valuable information.

"The New York Times" offers more in-depth articles on science.  "Scientific American" editors must have decided that Americans don't want to read.  I keep hoping that this magazine will return to what it once was, so I am subscribing for one more year.  After that, if the publication continues on its present course I will not reorder it.


title: trash.

text: Social Justice the magazine.


title: Order canceled with no explanation

text: Nuff said.


title: Scientific American has Lost it's way

text: I've let my subscription to Scientific American lapse this year.  After 30 years as a subscriber, their publications during 2020 has shown me they aren't a scientific publication any longer as they've turned toward political activism.  They may see this as an expansion of their mission but I found it somewhat out-of-bounds to endorse political candidates and political agendas with no real ties to science.  I found their feeble attempts to justify these actions to be wanting and reluctantly resigned my subscription.


title: Now a news and political magazine

text: I was a subscriber for years, but the last issue was a real disappointment. There were articles about social issues, definitely slanted to the left, that didn't really have anything to do with science. They also endorsed a presidential candidate and listed all the reasons he should be voted for.<br />I don't know what could cause all these changes in a magazine I always found interesting and informative. I cancelled my subscription.


title: interesting magazine

text: I read each issue cover to cover.  Has many interesting articles.


title: Five Stars

text: I enjoy it very much ! And will subscribe in the future


title: I miss the old Scientific American

text: I am a Chemical Engineer and have fond memories of reading Scientific American for many years.  It was written by experts in the field for people with scientific backgrounds but not necessarily in the specific topic.  Today it is a platform for liberal leaning journalists.  Its fine to have such a platform, but I wish they didn't destroy something I once loved.


title: Five Stars

text: on time and as described


title: Three Stars

text: Not what I have expected.


title: Articles have similar themes every month

text:
I do not like that the quality of the magazine has drastically diminished.
Even 4 to 5 years ago, they had in depth, thought-provoking articles that were insightful and interesting!
Some were dense and hard to understand but had novel themes that were not often discussed and therefore broadened my exposure to different ideas in science. Now, the themes seem to circulate every few months and the articles all meld into one long summary.
They are all "dumb-ed" down so to speak and are no longer as engaging. Instead of being the mid level mag between something like Discover and Nature mags, it is nothing more than an elementary review of science topics. I am very disappointed and will be cancelling my subscription.
Have ppl become so disinterested in science that its (presumed) loss in revenue has caused it to PACK the magazine with ads?? :(
SAVE your money and subscribe to American Scientist!!!


title: Love the magazine, but Amazon made a mistake.

text: I have no issue with the magazine itself.  In fact it is a great magazine.  The trouble is with ordering the magazine with Amazon.  I submitted my order on 11/20/2016, but my first order was the October issue.  As such, my last issue will be March 2017 issue.  Fortunately I called Scientific American magazine.  The customer service at Scientific American was good as they agreed to provide me with one more issue.  So the lesson learned here is to go directly to Scientific American website for ordering.


title: SCAM!!!!

text: Love the magazine, but cannot cancel the subscription.  DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!  Scam that just continues to renew your subscription whether you want to or not.  Contacting my credit card company tomorrow.  SCAM!

title: Disappointed

text: When I subscribed, I thought that Coastal Living was a monthly magazine.  Doesn't give you much for a quarterly.


title: Three Stars

text: Its really nice just extremely THIN!  If it gets much thinner, it will have to be called a Periodical.


title: Coastal Living

text:
As a person who lives in a coastal town in New England, I like Coastal Living because of the ideas they present in serval areas of interest to me. My wife and I are always looking for new ways to decorate our house and garden. They show what is happening in New England as well as other parts of the country.

I also appreciate the articles on food and their approach. Very often presenting the basics and then related recipes. For example they recently told how to prepare freshly harvested clams.

Before I subscribed to Coastal Living, I was familiar with the magazine.

title: Dream a little with Coastal Living....

text: For those of us not fortunate enough to live near a beach, Coastal Living lets us pretend we do! I feel like I am on vacation as I turn each page.... I especially love the decorating ideas, as I live in the desert, but want to have a "beachy" feel in my home. The retailers in the magazine may be pricey, but similar items  can be found for much less if you do some smart shopping. For example, I fell in love with some beach-inspired throw pillows that were outrageously priced, and found a much more affordable and equally stylish alternative at Kohl's.


title: Love this magazine.

text: Love, love, love this magazine. I'm remodeling a beach ouse on the coast of GA and this magazine gives me so many good ideas.


title: Where's my magazine ?

text:
I can't review this product because my first issue hasn't arrived,

Okease tell me that might be.

Jack


title: Not what it used to be

text: This used to be one of my favorite magazine but the quality has gone way down. The content is very confused and there are too many ads. It used to have nice recipes but they are very few now. The magazine has lost it's heart. Very disappointing.


title: D Richards

text: Coastal Living is a great magazine.  If you like the beach, you'll love the articles, pictures, and decorating ideas.  I can't wait to get mine each month.  It gives me that sense of escaping to the coast for a brief period.


title: Five Stars

text: Always love this magazine


title: Love it

text: I Love the information & pictures for sure.


title: Vacation in the mailbox

text: I used to subscribe to magazines about living in the mountains. Now, I am turning to the sea. It all feeds my  fantasy life, as I am a devout city dweller. This is the only shelter magazine I read the same day it arrives in the mail. It represents a lite-ness not achievable in a dense, crowded city.


title: Feels like lyou are on vacation

text: My wife and I and entire family love the ocean and spend as much time as we can near water. This magazine makes us feel like we are right on the ocean edge.


title: Great

text: I love this magazine , it is always interesting and has so many great ideas !<br />I would recommend this subscription to anyone. Great gift idea !!


title: Coastal Living

text: I can't wait to get this almost every month.  It's colorful and full of wonderful ideas even if you don't live close to the beach.


title: Margarita Bliss

text: Have had a subscription to Coastal Living for two years now. Others have come and gone but plan to keep this going no matter what! Between the daughter's bedroom ideas to margarita recipes with Maine lobster as the course,I really enjoy it. My husband even likes to read it which really shocks me. Everybody can get something from this magazine.


title: Loving it on the Gulf Coast

text: I have been getting Coastal Living since we bought a condo in Orange Beach, AL in 1997. We retired here in 2005 and love<br />reading about all the beaches in the USA. The articles and recipes are genuinely enjoyed.


title: I know I'd enjoy the magazine though

text: Have yet to receive an issue. I know I'd enjoy the magazine though.


title: Love this magazine

text: Love this magazine , all about coastal decorating and beautiful places to see. Definitely a great magazine to purchase


title: Great magazine

text: Great magazine that keeps the high standard as seen on the different programing HGTV shows. Great articles, helpful hints, something for everyone. Inspiring!


title: Coastal living

text: Excellent magazine. Ideas very do-able. Great articles!A great over all magax=zineif you have a homne near a beach or even just want to dream of one!


title: Four Stars

text: Would like to see more west coast articles.


title: Going Downhill Fast

text: I have been a subscriber to Coastal Living for about a year now and I have to say the quality of the magazine has really gone downhill.  I got the magazine because it's eye candy.  I wanted to see beautiful beach houses and learn about exotic destinations.  Now, it's a knock-off of Southern Living and Better Homes and Garden. They seem to have a new editor (maybe the 3rd one this year) and even the layout has changed.  They keep featuring these tacky cottages and reporting on the most boring things (200 things to do with salmon, diners in Florida).  I will not be renewing my subscription and will try my luck with another magazine.


title: Wonderful Magazine

text: First issue arrived last week.  It is a wonderful magazine, including different beach resorts to visit, items to purchase and decorate your home with, different stories of beach houses, renovations, and more.  It's a great magazine with a lot of good and interesting information for the beach lover.

title: Ordered it and never received it.

text: Still waiting for 1st issue. Nobody can answer me when it is coming. Very frustrating when you can't get answers.


title: WHAT MAGAZINE??? BOO FOR COASTAL LIVING

text: ORDERED 12/13/09 AND NOW (2/10 ALMOST 2 MONTHS LATER) STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SINGLE COPY.<br />BOO COASTAL LIVING!!BOO SOUTHERN PROGRESS!! BOO AMAZON!! UNABLE TO LEAVE COMMENT OR RATE THIS ITEM WITHOUT SELECTING A "STAR" -OTHERWISE NONE WOULD BE SELECTED.


title: What happened to Coastal Living?

text: What happened to Coastal Living?  I had a subscription from the inception of the magazing then about 1 year ago it stopped arriving and apparently stopped production.  Too bad.  I really liked it.  Wish they would reinstate the subscription I lost when they stopped production vs charging me another $10 to repurchase what I already paid for.  Susan aka Elk's mom.


title: Best coastal magazine ever!!!

text: I have been subscribing to this magazine for a long time. I just love it for decorating ideas, recipes and where to shop for coastal / nautical product.<br />The best value is from Amazon. Love them both.


title: Four Stars

text: A wonderful resource for decorating ideas.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine.


title: Coastal Living

text: I love love love this magazine. I live in Arizona and reading this magazine takes me to the ocean. The articles are great and the pictures even better.


title: One Star

text: i never recieved any of the issues


title: Wonderful magazine. Makes you feel good just looking at ...

text: Wonderful magazine. Makes you feel good just looking at it! Also great decorating ideas and recipes! Love this magazine!


title: ordered this in aug and as od oct 17 still have not recieved!

text: I have read this many times and order a year and still have not gotten one copy!  It is now mis oct!!


title: Coastal Living Magazine

text: Coastal Living is a very nice magazine with lots of pretty pictures of the homes and different recipes.


title: My Very Favorite Magazine

text: Of all the magazines I receive each month, Coastal Living is my favorite.  I've been a subscriber since the beginning, and it's the one magazine I literally look forward to each month.  We plan to buy or build an affordable beach cottage, and the photos in this magazine are my inspiration.  Plus the food articles and recipes are the best.  Thank you, Coastal Living.


title: Life is a Beach !

text: My family as well as myself absolutely love this magazine. The wife enjoys the articles and I enjoy the recipes. Have tried numerous resipes and have turned out as tasty as they look. We enjoy the whole relaxing coastal atmosphere due to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I save all my latest for camping so I can enjoy the whole magazine. Highly recommend you try it, you won't be dissapointed.


title: TERRIBLE shipping . . . .

text: Very disappointed in shipping it loose without wrap or cover to protect from bends/tears. I use this magazine also as a display in my beach home. This magazine is NOT the size of a mailbox & it should be shipped accordingly. It looked like a piece of my ad papers . . . .


title: Coastal Living Magazine subscription

text: My subscription was purchased on May 28, 2012.  I have not yet received the first issue, which is very disappointing.


title: Pleasantly Surprised

text: I have been surprised be this publication, at first I did not like it but it has really improved in the last year. I like that it is more international but still has an average home in focus - a pretty good balance.


title: Still one of the Best

text: Year after year - editor after editor, this magazine still cuts it for the average home. Always interesting ideas, problems and solutions. I really think the mail and electronic subsciption should be one, it is cheating the way theyhave it set up. But on the whole it does try to keep one ahead of the curve decorating but just bearly. I think they should have longer articles if they want to continue to compete with electronic sources of decorating information.


title: Too fluffy

text: I enjoy  magazine but  there is not enough to it. Many times just too light and fluffy. I wish they would have more depth to the articles.


title: I have noticed a decline in quality of the publication since I first subscribed about 6 years ago.

text: I gave this publication 3 stars as it has become pretty mediocre in my book. Not bad, just mediocre, with a decline in quality both of the physical appearance and in the content. Sometimes it feels like an infomercial... Would love to see more coastal home makeovers and creative ideas, and leave out the beauty products and fashions. I get plenty of those magazines, and look for a more beachy approach in this mag.


title: Four Stars

text: Great pictures for decorating beach homes. Would love to see more west coast homes, though.


title: great magazine

text: Whenever I read this magazine, it makes me think of vacation! I am relaxed and inspired and develop a desire to remodel, renovate & go visit whatever I read about! Great job, Coastal Living staff


title: Two Stars

text: Lots of advertisements


title: fab5

text: Outstanding magazine! I love the high quality photos, informative articles and practical ideas. Looking through the magazine not only gives you the feel of coastal breezes and a splash of sunshine, it also reminds you that it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Pick up a copy today, relax and enjoy your tour of the coast.


title: One Star

text: No substance all ads. Cancelled subscription after receiving first magazine


title: Coastal Living Magazine

text: Really enjoy this magazine!!  Great for those who live on the water, and those who don't.  Wish it came out all 12 months!!


title: Coastal Living

text: I love love love this magazine. I live in Arizona and reading this magazine takes me to the ocean. The articles are great and the pictures even better.


title: Great subscription price! Two for one deal cannot be beat!

text: Great magazine, great subscription price. Value cant be beat and the magazine is wonderful. Great for Christmas giving, keeping a copy for myself


title: Wonder Magazine a Delight!

text: Wonder Magazine is a refreshing magazine for Parents. It is the kind of magazine you read and pass on to share with others, too good to toss! All about children and their growth, lots of pleasing, helpful articles. Fun to read and the photography is amazing! Subscribe today! Great price as well.


title: Five Stars

text: Love coastal living and the recipes are good and a nice addition


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: I Love Coastal Living

text: I have always loved Coastal Living magazine. It has provided me with a few ideas of amazing places to visit on the West Coast. The special price was great. The photography and feature articles are excellent. If you love the coast, this magazine is worth the investment.


title: Coastal Living is the best!

text: I love Coastal Living. We have a house at Oak Island, N.C. And I have used ideas from your magazine while decorating our house. Thank you for a great magazine with fantastic ideas for decorating, product updates, and recipes.


title: Look back at 50,s

text: If you are in to the fifties then this magazine is for you.


title: Coastal living

text: For any lover of the coast,This magazine covers it all. I have been a subscriber for many years.It covers coastal living locally and internationally


title: Dream a little with Coastal Living....

text: For those of us not fortunate enough to live near a beach, Coastal Living lets us pretend we do! I feel like I am on vacation as I turn each page. I especially love the decorating ideas, as I live in the desert, but want to have a "beachy" feel in my home. The retailers in the magazine may be pricey, but similar items can be found for much less if you do some smart shopping. For example, I fell in love with some beach-inspired throw pillows that were outrageously priced, and found a much more affordable and equally stylish alternative at Kohl's.


title: One Star

text: Did not meet my expectations.


title: My favorite home magazine

text: I love this publication, plain and simple.  It's a lifestyle I aspire to, and it suits my taste perfectly. Beautifully photographed coastal homes make the arrival of this magazine in my mailbox a real pleasure.  I highly recommend.


title: Disappointed

text: Haven’t been receiving any issues.  When will they begin ?


title: have not received it

text: I have not received it yet, still waiting, I wanted to check out the digital copy but need the code from the print copy. It has been weeks


title: Love this Decoration Magazine

text: I get gorgeous ideas from the different articles ,and dream about my abroad holidays by the sea.<br /> Take your time and get your issues, enyoy them  in you terrace with a cup of tea, it will relax you.


title: Love, love it

text: I've been reading this magazine since I was a teenager and my mother had a subscription. Love, love it!


title: Beautiful magazine; however

text: Beautiful magazine; however, it must be published for the "high-end" spender. I have been a subscriber off and on for years and when I didn't subscribe, I would still pick it up in my local grocery or bookstore. I have seen the items displayed in this magazine continue to move to the upper end and while I enjoy the pics and places, I will never be able to afford such luxury. Could you possibly have something for the middle class to enjoy and spend money on without feeling they need to rob the bank, so to speak?


title: get it

text: good deal


title: Ok lots of ads

text: Not as good a mag as it used to be


title: The best magazine

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for several years now and this is the best subscription rate I've found.  I love this magazine and look forward to receiving it each month.  The photography is great.  The places reviewed are all interesting and places you'd be interested in going.  The articles are also interesting and just the right length.  I have come across places want to travel to and great decorating ideas as well.  This is my favorite magazine.

title: The best all-purpose motorcycle mag.

text: I've been reading Cycle World since 1977 and it's by far the best all-round motorcycle mag you can get. It covers every aspect of motorcycling, including sport bikes, dirt bikes, standards, cruisers, racing articles, top-notch technical articles by experts like Kevin Cameron, wonderful features and articles by Peter Egan (America's most beloved moto-journalist), op-ed pages, etc. It covers British, Italian, American, Japanese and German bikes alike, with detailed performance and technical data. Even the advertising is good. It's a fun read, from front to back. Cycle World is a high quality magazine, just like its sister publication for car lovers, Road & Track.


title: Make an EV mag that's this good.

text: This is the best motorcycle mag - now, make an EV mag that's this good.<br />Do some actual motorcycles, not so many aspirational exotics.


CW is still the best in business for real-world riders. However, as is the case with 99.9 percent of print publications, shrinking margins mean skimpier content than just a few short years ago. Even so, the editors and writers manage to pack more usable info on new products, new bikes, used bikes, engineering and maintenance than any of their competitors. Just wish there were more.


title: CW is still the best in business for real-world riders


title: Good Mag, but...

text:
I initially received the September issue long after it had hit the newsstand.  Then, two weeks later, I received the AUGUST issue.  C'mon!  What a freakin' gyp.  Last time I subscribed, the same thing happened.  Great magazine, which is why I subscribed, but never again.  My subscription from Rider magazine was much smoother, with the October issue arriving the same day as my Cycle World August issue.

I hate being ripped off.


title: Motorcycle mag

text: Cool magazine


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent Magazine.


title: Great mag!

text: I've been a Cycle World subscriber for a long time and Amazon.com has the best prices on magazine subscription renewals!


title: Great Magazine!

text: Been reading Cycle World for decades.  Always a great magazine.  The only thing I don’t like is the switch publishing it quarterly!


title: It was the greatest bike mag still left for decades. Now a quarterly photo shoot.

text:
I've also been an occasional reader since the 1960's and a steady subscriber for the past 15 years. For what was left in motorcycle journalism for many years, CW was the essence. Sometimes accused of trying to cover all facets of motorcycling, but that is why they were the best. A mix of real road tests, racing coverage, tech information and human interest. I subscribe to two other bike mags that have nothing about the bikes being ridden, only travelogues and a rush for the latest 700 or 800 lb. touring bike.

The quarterly issued "coffee table" version that now exists is a very pale version of what they were for so long. Seems as if nearly all the staff is gone. No more road test, racing or tech editors left. It seems that the chief editor Hoyer and engineering editor Cameron are essentially putting out the mag themselves. Glossy photos, but not a lot of meat except for Cameron, who is great historian, especially on racing engineering back in the day. I guess it is the only thing left to do as advertisers sadly are not spending on print in a depressed motorcycling market. No one it seems, will check on all traditional and cultural matters of motorcycling.


title: where are the new bikes ?

text: come on man ! been putting up with this mag, for quite a while. went to daytona this past march @ was shocked with all the new bikes,this year.. here i was totally in the dark, about these new bikes. and i am subscribing to a cycle mag !! yamaha's niken- kawasaki's z 900- the ninja 400 !! i was dissapointed that i was subscribing to a motorcycle magazine, and had no clue these new bikes were even out !! i dont care about riding thru vietnam, riding thru australia !! i want tests on new bikes out ! want fork teardown @ rebuilds ! tire reviews ! oil test !  come on !  wont be renewing. sorry


title: A once great monthly publication, now a poorly re-designed quarterly

text:
I recently re-upped my subscription to Cycle World, more to show support for the motorcycle industry and media area than for the actually quality of the current publication.
Cycle World has become a shell of its former self. Even if you didn’t ride a bike, you probably knew of Cycle World, and even seen a few at the school library, or a friend’s house. Not anymore. It no longer stands out. What was once a terrific magazine for motorcyclists, published monthly, with the latest industry news and bike reviews, is now a quarterly publication, with a cosmopolitan re-design. High gloss paper, a lot of white space, many title pages to articles just taking up space, acting as page count filler, and very little actual content.
Cycle World and Motorcyclist used to be two great monthly publications, annually publishing 24 editions a year. Now, after Bonnier bought both, making Motorcyclist a bi-monthly publication, they tried the cosmopolitan redesign on it first, before shuttering it last year. We have now gone from 24 issues a year between two magazines, to 4 issues a year. Personally, if they were going to keep one, I thought the redesign on Motorcyclist was better, but quite frankly, that was also a very weak version of what it once was.
I don’t know much about magazine publishing, but with fewer people reading magazines (and numerous titles closing up shop in the last couple of years), and fewer advertisers in the motorcycle realm, it’s only a matter of time before this lesser version of Cycle World is no more.


title: Five Stars

text: Great value


title: Five Stars

text: Great deal


title: Cycle World is NOT the best

text: Magazine does not have enough road tests.  Some months, there are no road tests, which is the main reason I subscribe to the magazine.  There are way too many advertisements too.  Motorcycle Consumer News has Cycle World beat hands down as it has no advertisements and cares less about what people, or manufactures think--they just report the truth!


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome


title: Four Stars

text: These were all gifts. They were all we received.


title: Perfect

text: Perfect gift for my boyfriend glad I spotted it and bought it before the issue came out he loves it


title: Great magazine.  Easy subscription renewal!

text: I renew every year.  Always enjoy reading!


title: Price

text: This magazine was advertised on Amazon.com in an e-mail to me for a price of $2.97, how come I paid double that ??


title: Paper quality is not very good and photos are flat compared to all the other ...

text: Got two months of magazine at once.Have four left in deal ,next customer should get magazines one at a time. Paper quality is not very good and photos are flat compared to all the other mags. in existence.


title: Good mag, but like amazion's policy

text: Good magazine.  The reason I like amazion is that you get honest renewal notices, not 6 m0s early and they are 90+ of the time more competive.


title: Kitplanes priodical subscription

text: The first copy is not due or arrived as of yet. I have purchased Kitplanes on a number of occasions and have enjoyed it. I am considering building an experimental airplane from a kit in the near future so this magazine is the most appropriate while I'm deciding what kit to purchase.


title: It would be nice if I ever recieve this item!

text: It would be nice if I ever recieve magazine.  Been waiting for the better part of six weeks.  This is just too long.


title: Never received it

text: I cannot provide a good review for this purchase because as of today I have not received it yet.  Still waiting..........


title: I Love Kitplanes

text: I love Kitplanes because it focuses on what I'm interested in -- building experimental airplanes. I'm an EAA member too, and I get their magazine. I will remain a member of EAA because of the good work they do, but their magazine has gone steadily downhill for years now, and with their new president it just seems to be getting worse, at least from my perspective. Others, I'm sure, like their new focus. But for me, Kitplanes is right on the mark.


title: Don't accept a free issue from these people.

text:
Nothing against the magazine's content, but some of their business practices border on extortion.

I filled out a coupon for a free issue, which I received along with an invoice for the entire year.  I returned the invoice with a letter stating I didn't want the subscription.  Three times I got that same invoice, three times I returned it with the same letter, and the fourth time I received a threat-filled nastygram from a collection agency.  And all this over a simple $20 magazine subscription!

I blew it off and decided to just take the hit on my credit score (the collection agency left me no way to contact them) and now I won't have anything to do with them.  The funny part is - I'm building my own airplane!


title: KitPlanes

text: I never received an issue. Indeed, they seem to have sent another magazine, "Plane and Pilot," which I did not order and in which I have no inerest.


title: Five Stars

text: love the stories and the fashions


title: Five Stars

text: its a magazine one i enjoy reading and my Mistress enjoys it also


title: Do Not Subscribe!

text: They said they sent 2 issues but i never received any of them.  Waited 1 more month & never received single issue.  Called them to cancel subscription & got my money back.


title: Worst magazine ever!

text: This magazine is a complete waste. I am somehow receiving a free subsciption or I would never even look at this piece of junk. It takes me less than 5 minutes to "read" the whole thing. There is no content other than a bunch of pictures of clothes and shoes that most people can't afford to buy. Do not waste your time on this magazine!!


title: Lucky is about what girls love best: SHOPPING!

text:
I was so happy when my boyfriend surprised me with a subscription to Lucky!! This is a great magazine for women aged 20-35 and is about the thing we love best: SHOPPING!
Lucky is a great resource for extending your wardrobe in a smart, fashionable way that won't break the bank! If you're looking for real tips on wearable clothes and makeup and are  tired of reading articles like "How to Please Your Man" (Cosmo) and "Here's What the New York Socalites Are Wearing" (Vogue), then Lucky is the magazine for you! Here are some of its monthly features:
- A page with "Yes" and "Maybe" sticky tabs for marking things you'd like to buy. No more messy dog-ears!
- Lucky Breaks: The back of the magazine has listings of clothes, accessories and makeup from hot stores that you get discounts on! (Many are online too, for easy at home shopping!)
- Four Girls, One...: This section shows one article of clothing worn by 4 different women in 4 differnt ways (ie. tough, sexy, work, weekend)
- The Lucky Guide: Showcases pages of a particular item of clothing including price and where to buy them. (January's issue featured lingerie)
- A Week's Worth of Style: Shows a modern woman and how she turns a few articles of clothing and accessories into a weeks worth of great looks. (January showcased Carolina Herrera Jr)
- Lucky Life: Great ideas for decorating your home in a fresh, funky style.
- City Spotlight: Showcases the great stores in one city per month, including such places as London and Vancouver, not just the US! (Includes phone numbers and/or websites so you can actually buy the clothes!)
People may complain that there are a lot of ads in Lucky, but have they not noticed them in other magazines? Lucky is dedicated to shopping, so ads make sense, and they're not any more prevelant than any other magazine.
This magazine gives fashion and beauty advice that you can use, and clothing you can actually afford to wear! As a 22 year old, I know that's what I'M looking for in a fashion magazine!


title: Deceptive Subscription Practices

text: Not only did I find the magazine nothing more than a junky catalog...but you should watch out when you subscribe to Lucky Magazine or any other Conde Nast owned magazine. They will automatically renew your subscription after the first year (I DID NOT sign up for auto renewal) and will continue to send bills. I asked for and paid for one year only!


title: lucky magazine

text: This magazine has the unique aspect of being presented in the voice of the editors for each section.  The highlighting of different products is helpful due to the insights given.


title: Like a good deal.

text: Do you like a good deal or want to know what's new-this is the magazine for you.


title: If you love to shop

text: If you love to shop you will love this magazine.  It has tons of  up to date fashion tips and showcases products that range from affordable to something that is more of a splurge.  It also has coupon codes for things that are shown in the magazine.  Great great articles as well :)
