title: Fantastic magazine - tons of great recipes!

text: My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed this magazine. The recipes are varied and well written with beautiful pictures. They include interesting information about ingredients and reviews about kitchen gadgets. We have a ton of recipes in our usual rotation from this magazine. I like that the recipes range from easy to very difficult, so you can pick exactly how much effort you're willing to put in on a particular day. We are looking forward to enjoying Fine Cooking for many years to come!


title: Nice

text: I love this magazine. The kindle version is great too. I really enjoy reading about small business and entrepreneurship. Usually has great stories about small businessmen who bootstrapped their way from nothing to something.


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoy recipes


title: Best Recipe Magazine Ever!

text: We love this magazine. It has a color picture for every single recipe. The recipes are easy to make, with easy-to-find ingredients.  We have thoroughly enjoyed receiving this magazine and have given it to family and friends as the perfect gift.


title: Five Stars

text: Grandson loved this magazine.


title: Trendy

text: I love referencing this magazine to see the latest trends.


title: Can't Say anything about the product

text: I wanted this magazine. But instead of sending it out, they send me a request for email out of "concern for possible future shortage of paper" requesting I switch to a digital copy. I  don't want digital, never do. I have way too much email and my filters never work the way I want them to. So yeah, would love to say this is a good publication, can't confirm or deny at this time.


title: Closer Magazine

text: I love my Closer mag. it has lots of articles that catch my eye, it's not all gossip. My problem is finding the time to read it. I don't buy many magazines but I had to have this one.


title: Interesting

text: Love the magazine


title: RENEWING TIP

text: If you already have an EW subscription and want to renew through Amazon follow these steps to link your current EW subscription to Amazon. Go to the Amazon Subscription Center and click on "Add Magazine". Fill in your account number from the address label on your magazine and the expiration date. Your info should appear. Then you can renew and Amazon will provide the publisher with your subscription account information so the new issues add on to your current remaining subscription rather than duplicate it.


title: High Quality and did not disappoint.

text: Tremendous value for the money


title: Good Magazine, terrible system

text:
It was great to give this as a gift, but Amazon makes it impossible to figure out how to Stop the auto subscription.
It gives you a choice of renewing or canceling the existing subscription too early
Then it sends you into a loop trying to get help.
Still can’t find how to to stop the subscription from renewal


title: Worth the Price

text: We must pay for fair and accurate journalism. It's worth the price.


title: Too many hunting photos

text: They slipped some hunting stuff in this magazine, which I didn't want to see. If I wanted that I would have subscribed to a hunting publication. I don't want to see dead ducks and other animals in my wildlife magazine, thank you very much.


title: Subscribing to TV Guide Via Amazon

text: This is not a review on the magazine itself.  It is a review from a decades long tv guide reader choosing to renew via Amazon.  After overpaying via regular subscription for years, I decided to try the better rate on Amazon and hope that it would all go smoothly.  TV Guide did honor the subscription continuation (I did double check with TV Guide by phone) and there was no break in service.


title: Five Stars

text: BEST PRICE I FOUND


title: I am not getting gift subscription

text: I was given subscription for Christmas gift (2021) So far I have received 1 issue and that was weeks ago.<br />It is now February 2022 and no magazine in sight.  Not great.


title: Very very thin

text: Very thin and not a lot of substance. Disappointing.


title: Only digital

text: Quit printing copy, digital only.


title: They only send 1 magazine

text:
It's supposed to be a 5 magazines and I only Received one.
And that's all.
Is a misleading subscription details.
At the end I paid $5 for 1 magazine.


title: Good magizine

text: Great articals


title: Very informative

text: I love this magazine. Has lots of information I have tried many of the recipes and they all have been delishously great!


title: Good articles

text: My son love it...but now I can not get them to stop sending. It is billed every month. I have to call get a sticker to return. Getting over this


title: Informative!

text: Great value!


title: I love HG

title: Worth it if relative to your career

text: This makes me a better salesman at the mall. And it makes me at ease nudging the ladies towards specific non durable goods.


title: Watch out for Bonnier Corp!

text:
Bonnier Corp is the subscription service that sells F&S on Amazon. I purchased two subscriptions over Christmas time-one for myself and one as a gift to a friend. When my friend did not receive the subscription to the address I had provided, I contacted Bonnier about the issue. They told me it wouldn't be a problem and they would extend my friend's subscription for an extra month. Suddenly, I stopped receiving my subscription. When I contacted Bonnier about the issue they told me that both subscriptions were set for my address, and that they had fixed the issue. Really? So if both subscriptions were detailed to my address, how did I not a receive a single copy? One of my big problems in addition is that Bonnier's customer service never actually reads the emails that I send them...information such as the correct address will be included in the email and then instead of taking care of the problem, they reply by asking me what my address is.

Bottom line, I love Field and Stream, but the subscription service that supplies it through Amazon is terrible. I made a simple order and four months later they still have not gotten it straight.


title: Higher than publisher costs.

text: Gray’s Sporting Journal is outstanding as it has always been. Brilliant inciteful writing and vast outdoor information, however Amazon charged me well over cover price compared to what I could have got from the publisher directly. Live and learn.


title: Great magazine!

text: Started coming very quickly.  Great magazine!!


First issue didn't come with described coasters. Will amend rating if I get them. All in all I do enjoy Vogue, coasters or no.


title: RS is a shadow of what it used to be, and it's a shame

text: I'm 52-years-old and have been (er, used to be) a hardcore RS fan since I was 16 or 17, going back to the 70's. Just like SNL used to be, RS was hip, cutting edge, and like another reviewer said, RS used to create trends, not chase them. Every so often, I see the mag in a store and am so tempted to grab it up....but that temptation last only as long as it takes me to leaf through it, realize there is almost no one I am interested in (and believe me, I am not stuck in classic tracks, far from it - look at my music reviews) ... RS is smaller in format now, much thinner (many less pages) ---- but my main complaint that has me say NFW is that it tries too hard to make everyone happy, from 15-year-olds to 52-year-olds (lol), which is impossible. You cannot reduce the size and breadth of a magazine that much and still have an all inclusive diversity. Nope, doesn't work. And I so want to do it, I want to get it, just like I still turn on SNL on Saturday night at 11:30, but wind up usually flipping the channel by 12:00. Sorry, but someone has to tell the truth. RS has jumped the shark.


title: Magazine

text: The magazine format changed.


title: Great Ideas

text: This is a pretty decent magazine - more advertisements than I'd like though.  I don't get inspiration out of every magazine, but it's a nice addition to my other decorating magazines.


title: plenty info

text: like it


title: Five Stars

text: Too bad it's being taken off Prime!


title: I'm happy with my purchase.

text: Arrived on time, and as described.


title: Auto-Renewel Feature

text: I hate the auto-renewal feature magazines offer, this feature usually renews your subscription at a higher price than you can obtain without this feature, plus it is a pain to cancel your subscription. I would subscribe but not with this feature of auto-renewal. I'm sure I'm not the only person that feels this way.


title: Don't get weekly issues

text: I don't like that you don't get this every week like I have in the past.


title: NCAA Football --ROLL TIDE--  MLB---and--NFL---

text: I look for my Sports Illustrated every week. I am a 72 year old Grandmother of 3 Girls, one is GOLF one is Cheerleader for Football and Basketball and the 11 year old, 5th Grader, is All Basketball.  I LOVE MY SPORTS ILLUSTRATED!!!  I DID NOT get one for the last 2 WEEKS!!!

text: Great mag

text: Great magazine for those that enjoy WWII history.


title: What A Bargain !!

text: Ordered this for my brother in law, who loves golf. What a bargain price for a great magazine !!  Thanks


title: Useful advice without the mainstream media's sensationalization or oversimplification

text: Unlike the information we get from most TV and newspaper articles, the health information here is much more useful and balanced.  It's more objective because it's written by medical consultants and not influenced by advertisers.  It's more comprehensive in that they always put the results of new studies in the context of prior research and tell you how to act based on all of the evidence together.  It's more detailed too.  They describe the number of people in studies and how they were conducted.  They tell you which supplements are dangerous vs. safe vs. useless and for which individuals.  Finally, the added detail is provided in a language everyone can understand.


title: Great magazine!

text: I recommend this magazine for anyone in their twenties and thirties.  Lots of variety and keeps my interest.


title: Five Stars

text: Must for young aspiring engineers.

title: I highly recommend this magazine

text: I highly recommend this magazine.  We have two devoted subscribers in our family.  I was worried when I got the newest format in the magazine but I've been enjoying it just as much -- if not more -- than the older format.  Lots of the familiar puzzles with added levels of difficulty and lots of new ones, like the Siamese twin crossword puzzles, to keep us going until the next issue.


title: I was going to advertise in this magazine

text: With all the problems getting this I think we will hold off advertising in it.  Lots of common negatives


title: Got some good stuff

text: I like it. Still has letters to the editor which the other magazine does not.


title: Five Stars

text: great deal


title: Five Stars

text: Nice magazine.


title: Not my thing

text: Much of the content was of little interest to me.  For that I do not fault the publisher, however.  I also don't much care for canned peas.


title: Great first issue

text: Looking forward to more since this first had great tips, recipes and health related articles!<br />Great deal on the price also...

title: Long time Vanity Fair reader (at least 30 years)

text: I have been reading Vanity Fair for more years than I care to recount.  Love it.  I really miss the late Christopher Hitchens and Dominick Dunne.  However, it is still one of my favorite magazines..alight read, but not fluff.


title: Great Recipes!

text: Great recipes.  Like everything.


title: Great Ideas From House Beautiful

text: House Beautiful provides the most up to date design ideas.


title: Great Magazine

text: nice variety of designs....  clear instructions....


title: As advertised.....

text: the subscription didn't take as long to start as the info said.....  has arrived here in good shape....


title: Great magazine for writers

text: This is a great magazine for writers. Easy to use, resourceful, and encouraging.


title: Just As Remembered!

text: Bought this for my wife. She had a subscription to Ganes for many years in the 80’s, and 90’s, and was thrilled to get it again. She will definitely continue the subscription!


title: Hail to the king of playstation magazines

text: Alrightly. Folks it doesn't get any better than this. This magazine blends humor with serious reviewing. They will give the strong points and bad while keeping it real to the hardcore player elite - like me! Anyhow, I've read this magazine for a while and I've never been disappointed. The "Ask the 800 lbs. Gorilla" section is a riot. The Bottomline gamer this is an unbiased, not corporatly owned (like OPM, and XBOX magazine) and a pleasing magazine to read. Anyone "hooked" on gaming and looking for great recommendations on must have games should pick up a PSM and get a subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine


title: Written for Men

text: Some of the articles were interesting/clever, but overall this magazine is aimed too strongly (in my opinion) toward men.  As a 20 something female ordering this subscription to get interesting tech information and stay up on the latest/greatest tech news, this magazine fell short.  I found many of the articles crude and even tasteless.  Maybe the obvious target market of men (probably ages 22 to 35) would enjoy this magazine, but it definitely wasn't for me.


title: Brutal and Fantastic

text: Love the reviews and different suggestions for bands they have in the magazine. I like reading about the album reviews because it helps me get a view about new bands and bands I've never heard of before. Flexidiscs are cool if you have a player for them, nice add-on that makes this magazine unique. Basically if you like metal and lots of it, your $30 a year is safe with these guys.


title: GQ Italian

text: I subscibed to this magazine for a year and I enjoyed it a lot.  I have some difficulty reading and understanding the articles but needed to learn.  I didn't keep the subscription though because it went higher.  I reccommend if you can afford the import premiums.


title: Quality

text: Very high quality and will keep you informed on the trends in the industry. Highly recommended if you are a web designer or dev.


title: one of my favorite magazines

text: natl geographic never disappoints. i usually read it all the way through. the only complaint is i wish it had more articles!


title: i placed order on 9/30 and won't recieve subscription till 11/20

text: there must be faster way to begin subscription - close to two months to recieve magazine subscription is not desirable to my taste.


title: Love this magazine!

text: Can't wait for the first issue to arrive!  Ordered in July, not sure why it would take until October, my estimated date of 1st issue to arrive in today's computer age!


title: Beauty tips are fantastic

text: My daughters and I love the Olay Retinol24 samples and the excellent beauty tips.


title: Detailed information

text: I feel the opinions are based on education and less on personal thoughts.


title: never received subscription

text: I ordered this for a Christmas gift on Dec 11, never received ANYTHING that could be used as even a "promise" of the gift's arrival.  We've received NOTHING from them, no notice, and most importantly, NO MAGAZINE.  VERY disappointed as it has now been 7 weeks since ordering.  I am still hoping that it will come, but am not sure at what point to take action to get a refund of the money -- it's over-prized to begin with.


title: Interesting and Practical

text: Hobby Farms draws you into their 'meaty' articles with good photos and clear writing.  The articles aren't just fluff- they present usable info that helps you succeed on small scale raising-your-own-food acreages.


title: A so-so magazine

text: Many of the patterns in this magazine are old, tired retreads, or silly stuff that you wouldn't actually make if you don't have kids in your life.  I mean, do people actually make a birthday cake hat ... And wear it?  I use these ideas mostly to get my own creative juices flowing.  I also like to read info about yarns and supplies.  But for a pattern book, I would not recommend it ... Take a look around the web blogs, Pinterest and YouTube for much better stuff.


title: Best Girls Magazine Yet

text: I am a sixteen-year-old former reader of American Girl who looked forward to it every month during elementary school. This magazine (as well as the entire company's products) encourages learning, thinking, creativity, independence, appreciation of the past, love of diversity, and self-expression. Finally in a world where half the women are encouraged to just be sex toys and the other half are taught that they should be obedient, unambitious, lower-class citizens and somehow enjoy their subhumanity, there is a voice telling girls to dream big, play hard, and explore themselves and their world. Educational, entertaining, and inspiring.


title: Enjoy WIRED!

text: I have just renewed my subscription Wired..  I was subscribed to about 7 or 8 magazines or more, however I needed to  to focus on a couple of other  projects I was involved.  However the magazine I missed the most was Wired.  They cover tons of up to date issuers that are important to each and ever one of us. The writing was excellent  It was the magazine I missed the most.  So try it for a couple months. Enjoy!


title: Enjoy

text: great magazine for beginner as I ordered for my grandson


title: Great resource

text: I've been subscribing for two years, and there has only been one issue I didn't read cover to cover. Fantastic resource with inspiring, and entertaining articles.


title: Poor editorial

text: Honestly this is the worst written mountain bike magazine, and even the pictures are very sub-par. I do not recommend it...


title: Five Stars

text: Delivered as exp3ected


title: Oh, yes, they're very colorful, when they actually send them.

text: We ordered Zoobooks last Summer and I can't remember when we last saw one. I know that a few issues were sent, but one day I realized that there hadn't been one in a few months, and there hasn't been one since that realization. The few we got were thin but were indeed packed with colorful pictures. However, the money spent on the subscription, even had it been fulfilled, would be better spent on a quality full-color books about animals, with more information and sturdier binding. If Zoobooks put together a bound edition just such as that, well, as it happens, I still wouldn't buy it. I no longer have any faith in their business.


title: Something to get you thinking

text: Finally, I've found a magazine that keeps my mind active long after I've set it down.  Each month I discover a deeper understanding into today's issues and look at things with a new perspective thanks to the thoughtful words in Harper's.  I recommend this magazine to anyone looking to learn more about our country and the vast world around us.


title: Gifted

text: It was a gift.  I don't know..


title: Just Ordered a 2-year Subscription

text: I just ordered a 2-year subscription, and I can't wait to get my first copy.  I have been very interested in the ideas of this Journal for years, but I am only now subscribing.  It is expensive, but the original research and contents of the Journal promise to make up the difference.  It's basically a scholarly journal but presented in a nice magazine format and written to the college educated reader without assuming they have their PhD in Philosophy or Theology.  I look forward to getting my first copy.


title: crap

text: this magazine is bad.  They make everyone and everything that is non-religious sound like it's either possesed or influenced by Satan.  When they rate something they automatically assume it's horrible and if there's something positive, there's a brief sentence about it.  If there happens to be one little thing negative, then they write a paragraph or two on it.  If you read this stuff, remember, nothing is as bad is this magazine makes it seem.

title: Great magazine for socialist

text: Great magazine for socialist. The first two issues I received were 100% focused on bashing Trump and Americans. They will be tossed in the fire from now on.


title: LOVE

text: I love this magazine. The only thing I would change would be to make it monthly and not bi-monthly.  It has both an educational aspect and provides healthy recipes.  I have suggested this magazine to several friends, including a vegetarian (the magazine always provides some vegetarian options - including categorizing them in the table of contents) and a dieter. I may be a meat eater and not looking to loose weight, but am always looking to make my diet healthier and some of the vegetarian options are definitely appealing.


title: Great magazine - terrible policies

text: This is a great magazine, but the company happily takes your address (and your child's name, if you're lucky enough to have received a gift subscription from a naive relative) and sells it to anyone and everyone. Once I found out about the gift subscription, I called Muse and made sure that our information was marked as "do not sell". They assured me that it was, and then, after my child began receiving credit card offers and real estate solicitation, called back and found out that "oops - it was never marked". Three calls later, they still could not manage to keep from selling our child's information. I told them that I was cancelling the subscription because of this, and their response was pretty much a shrug. They told me that it was my problem, and that next time I should ask to have our information kept private. Not a good attitude when you publish for kids.


Meh - Unfortunately it's packed full of Ads, half the pages as it was when I grew up (1980s) and the content that is there is mediocre at best. Bought for $5/yr and regretted even spending that much.

text: NYRB is incomparable not simply because of the quality of its writers but also because of its breadth of subjects.  It is the one magazine I religiously read cover to cover.


title: From a purely academic standpoint...well maybe not "purely"

text:
I'm a magazine major in college, and I'm studying AG this semester. I actually wanted to thank you all for your great comments on Amazon- beleive it or not, they're really helpful for my research paper!

I was a huge fan of AG as a young girl, and honstly, even at 18 I'm finding that more than just researching the magazine, I'm really enjoying reading it. This is, in my opinion, the only respectable magazine left for young girls. It will never ask you to grow up too quickly or to change who you are. It will never tell you there's a certain way to act around boys, or wear your hair, or paint your lips. It doesn't insult with dribble about scandals and celebrities.  AG glorifies girls. It asks their input, and really cares about the feedback (yes, I found out from interviewing the founding editor that they actually file every piece of reader mail for future reference). I urge you to get this publication for your daughters. It is truly exceptional.


title: Too much junk

text: I did not like it.<br />Too many ads inside the magazine


title: Supplement magazine to sell Life Extension products

text: The magazine does have informative health info, but it is a magazine that is just a sales flyer for their products.

title: One of my Favorite Magazines

text: I like holding a magazine n looking through it.  Good Housekeeping is one that has SO Many Great articles that covers the seasons with recipes n decorating ideas, hints/tips on how to make your life easier from A to Z!!


title: I love Southern Living

text: I love Southern Living! The recipes are delicious and the travel articles are great. And I love the house plans and redos. Thanks, Southern Living for having such a great magazine. You make me proud to be Southern.


title: Great publication, terrible service

text: I'd give Mojo six stars and Amazon zero stars for handling the subscription, hence the three-star rating.  It will not automatically renew, nor do I receive any advance notice that the subscription is about to expire.  Once it expires and I manually renew, it takes several months to begin receiving the magazine again, so I miss several issues. To make matters worse, Amazon does not respond to my inquiries asking why this situation exists.


title: Don't buy...

text: I did not enjoy this magazine. The articles aren't that informational. Items inside are nice but over priced.


title: Women's booklet of knowledge and ideas

text: Enjoy reading all the informative articles. Great magazine!


title: Great read for dog lovers

text: I enjoy receiving this magazine to read and learn techniques in dog care.

text: good product


title: from best to better

text: A couple years ago, this was the BEST source of Linux applications reviews and news from the field. Also with highly interesting tutorials, that you could NOT find somewhere else, for the pro and beginner alike. It was probably worth the high price tag. These days, the magazine kind of repeats itself, reviews of same-o apps from precedent years, most of the time not worth citing for the minor additions from rev. 0.7 to 0.8 and so on.. Also the tutorials seem to have lost some of the insight and edginess from a couple years ago- definitely not worth the price tag; especially with high bandwidth easily available in the States, you are better off sometimes just  downloading your own distro's and/or huge apps. Just as a suggestion, in the spirit of yesteryear: why won't they write a cool script to parse the kernel sources, and fetch only what you need for your hardware instead of the huge 40MB plus of kernel sources? Most people would probably care for x86, and maybe ppc, seldom maybe sparc ! They could put THAT on the dvd, and renew the interest (could be fun to do, relatively easy and in the process they could add in some stellar tutorials on how they did it too ...)


title: DO NOT ORDER THROUGH AMAZON

text:
Popular Photography is a great magazine.  I've bought issues through my local bookstore for years.  Then I saw the great prices offered here through Amazon.  Unfortunately, my credit card was charged the price the price shown, but since then I have received several bills for the $6 difference from what was shown and Pop Photos regular price.  They are now threatening to send me to collections.  Another magazine I ordered was never recieved.

Amazon told me to contact the publishers.  Pop Photo could care less, they just want their $6 and the second magazine did not have a working number.

This was a HORRIBLE situation and I would suggest just getting the card out of the magazine at the store and mailing it in.


title: Great magazine to get ideas on remodeling to recipes

text: I have always liked Southern Living since I first came across one back around 1972 while at a Drs office. Never ordered a subscription until last year. I love the recipes that are in it and the articles inside. But Recipes is the main reason and I have used a lot of the.

title: Not the agazine I remember

text: Not like it used to be!


title: Awful!

text: The new look is terrible.  Looks like they are trying to make it look like some high society or cutting edge fashion magazine.  When my subscription runs out  there will be no renewal and I wouldn't take it if it was free.

title: Dittos from a grandmother

text:
I just read all of the currently posted reviews and  will just say dittos to all!  I met PHS at my daughter's home when she was a beginning home schooling mom about 1990 or so. I have been subscribing ever since just to keep informed and because I thoroughly enjoy its appearance in the mail and then reading most of every issue.  It also just gives me a plain old good, warm, feeling about what is going on with the families and young people who are coming up to be the next adult generation.

I taught in a pretty good public school system for 25 years and our 5 children attended Lutheran elementary and high schools, but if I could do it over I would love the joy and privilege of teaching them myself with PHS  to help and encourage along the way.

title: Read the small print!

text: Liked the magazine, but I was unaware that this would be automatically renewed.


title: What happened to the old Harper's Magazine?

text: Harper's used to have excellent articles about a range of different topics. Where did they go? Last weeks magazine was all about fashion and picture's of various models in every kind of outfit. That's not what i expected from Harper's. Hardly any interesting articles.


title: What happened to Scientific American?

text: I have subscribed to Scientific American for years. Today, after leafing through the latest issue during lunch, I called and cancelled my subscription and will receive my unused money back. I've been considering this for some time, but kept hoping that somehow that the Scientific American I loved would be back. Alas, no. This latest issue has just 2 articles written by scientists, and all the rest is just fluff written by science reporters, etc. It is curiously empty of scientific content and full of political propaganda dressed up as science. This just makes me want to weep because it is so indictative of the dumbing down of everything these days, along with the fact that nothing seems to be free of a political slant anymore. I hope that the powers-that-be at Scientific American take notice of the cancellations and change course, otherwise, this venerable magazine's days are numbered.


title: Great content!

text: Articles are well written, subject matter is interesting.  Equipment guide is very helpful.


title: Five Stars

text: R & T is a great read if you like cars and want more than the standard technical review.


title: Great for art students and lifelong learners

text: I like reading about art and painting and painters and like the tips in artists magazine


title: A must have subscription-DIY

text: Love this magazine!  Great content and photography. Additionally all the products they utilize are listed with contact information. Highly recommend.


title: Great Magazine

text: My husband has issues with small print, this magazine worked out terrific for him. Now, we both enjoy reading it!


title: My Grandaughter very pleased

text: Educational & fun


title: Don't judge the contents by its title

text: Great for filling the doctors office magazine selection - if it's free - but not worth your money to own. I bought if for gardening inspiration and there is really nothing about gardens or gardening in here. Oh, once in a while they remember to put a garden shot in the magazine, but not consistently. The home section isn't that inspirational either. Go for it if it's free, but if it's not, don't buy it.


title: Great idea for gifts!

text: This was a Christmas present for my 20 yr. old son who really likes to work out.  He was so surprised and happy to get a year subscription.  Magazines are a gift that they get all year so it's a great present.


title: Essential survival information

text: Good mag to pro you for tough situations. Very high quality printing. Good to keep in your library


title: Well done and well written magazine!

text: I’ve always enjoyed SI because of the variety of topics and sports covered, in depth, the authors and the timeliness of topics covered.


title: a magazine

text: Matt TAibbi and Bill McKibben both write for RS.  genuine political journalistic integrity with a point of view... plus some music stuff about lots of music and musicians and gossip that I could care less about.


title: Articles.

text: Great articles.


title: and every issue has been a delight. It's one of the best things I've ever ...

text: I've had this subscription for a year now, and every issue has been a delight. It's one of the best things I've ever bought myself. The quality of the paper and binding is high, the cover art is always interesting or beautiful, and the poetry is excellent. There is a themed section and a fascinating interview in each issue. I'm grateful to them for making poetry accessible at this price while maintaining a high standard. I will be renewing.


title: Read what the rich read

text:
I understand that the average net worth of a Barron's subscriber is just under three million dollars. I read Barron's for the same reason I read CIO magazine. I want to know what the leaders are reading. I do use the articles in Barron's as investment leads. I recently read about the good prospects of a company and took a small position in it and have been rewarded by a 19% gain in under three months. This is the third time in a year I have had such results with a Barron's pick. I suggest you give it a try by reading a issue on the Sunday it is available and watch any company's stock that they praise for a week and see how you would have done.

Also it is just excellent quality writing and entertaining.

text: Enjoyed the recipes and will order again for the right price.

text: I'm only on my first issue of Texas Monthly and it has some good articles however the magazine is loaded with a ton of ads. I will let you know more when I recieve more issues of the magazine.


title: meh

text: It's kinda dated, not really relevant.  I thought it looked cool at first but now I've changed my mind. okay


title: Not as advertised

text: I did not order this magazine, do not want and do not want to pay.  Want it cancelled. Have disputed this claim.


title: Did not get a complete order

text: Only got 2 copies will not order again.


title: Good Magazine

text: This magazine has lotsa tips and inspiration. After looking through it, It energizes me to go scrapbook. There is A LOT of words everywhere in the magazine, so a lot fo reading is required. But well worth it!


title: The Opera Lovers Best Friend

text: I have been a subscriber of Opera news for over 5 years now, and I eagerly look forward to the arrival of each issue. Not only does Opera News provide information about the Metropolitan Opera in New York, but also every major opera house in the world. I feel connected with all that is going on in the world of opera when I read Opera News. The timely articles about performers, performances, and recordings help me to make informed decisons about what to see and what to buy. I highly recommend Opera News to anyone who loves opera.


title: Five Stars

text: My son-in-law likes it.


title: Still a great magazine!

text: This subscription was a Christmas gift for my grown daughter and it was on sale at a fantastic price so I couldn't have asked for anything more!  I bought this magazine individually a lot for myself and it was so helpful on so many subjects and so relaxing to read at the end of a hard and hectic day.  It is still, in my opinion, quality after so many years in business but if you want heavy duty articles with stars, I'd suggest  you try elsewhere.


title: Favorite Dog Magazine

text: This is packed w/wonderful, exciting, well written magazine that is greatly enjoyed by every dog/cat/other animal lovers.Easy to read and never too long on words, just right no matter what age you may be--ha-ha I'm 70 and share this w/co workers and friends from age 21 and up!

I am 70 still working for 22 years in a very professional environment and am a "news junky" always wanting to keep up on everything.  This is so great for anyone, any age.  Expand your knowledge!!!


title: The evolution of style

text: GQ provides a roadmap for male style.  Over the years the magazine has branched out from a narrow focus on a male model ideal (at least the '80's vision of that ideal) to cover a wider range of male style and culture.  The covers and articles present celebrities from the sports and entertainment industries.  And the content shows the modern professional male everything he needs to own or do to be on the cutting edge of sylish New York sophisticated hip.


title: Good Texas reading

text: This magazine pleases us very much and we get it at very good price from AMAZON.  Think any TEXAN would like it!!!

title: False Advertising and Difficult to cancel

text: I think I got like 3 magazines before they charged me again. So I don’t know why it says 12 issues. Also, amazon makes it REALLY difficult to try and cancel these stupid subscriptions. This whole thing is really sketchy. Would not recommend.


title: Awesome gift for my Dad

text: Bought this as a Christmas present for my Dad who was an engineer. He LOVED it. I was actually surprised by how much he enjoyed the content & receiving gifts throughout the year.


title: Fab Photos

text: W has the best layouts of any mainstream fashion magazine today - they are creative and often quite wacky. It's not that their content is different from any other magazine, but the presentation is unique. Apart from the aesthetics of the fashion spreads, this magazine is pretty much like all the others. If you want visual inspiration, this is a great magazine. If you are looking for good reading or fascinating articles, don't buy it.

title: Bass magazine

text: Bass angler magazine and flw magazine along with in fisherman are much better. Bass uses it as a marketing tool to sell more fishing stuff and promote their products. One of their features is a small piece on "4-5 lures I never leave to fish without" and some pro names each lure and most often each lure is made by berkly or strike king,etc. Give me a break! Insulting.


title: Irrelevant depraved and toxic sub-sub-sub-genre rag

text: GQ stopped speaking to normality sometime back in the 80s or 90s. I remember the last time I picked up a copy. It was a European version with an article that chortled depravedly about the author witnessing James Carville's response during the Bill Clinton re-election campaign to a couple of men on his staff achieving some tactical campaign coup. Carville called over a pretty female secretary and commanded her to give them bjs. Whether or not she did, the fact that he would think that, let alone actually say it, floored me. And the fact that a writer for GQ would then write it and the editors would print it was far, far, far, far beyond the pale for me. Ironically, in today's "me too" culture, they would never get away with it, any of it, any of them. Sadly though, today's gender revisionism and sexual totalitarianism are far worse in their way. Ah for the old days of straightforward cis bigotry and chauvinism.  (</sarc>)

title: You need this...

text: If you're a predator hunter, or think you want to become one. The information packed into this magazine is unlike any other out there. It's geared towards getting you more success in the field against these wiley predators. Plus there's a lot of particular product info in there too on equipment to make you a better hunter. Great mag.

title: Not for the casual cook

text:
Gosh I never knew cooking could be so... boring!  Like many other reviewers, I was annoyed by the profuse amount of advertising included with a subscription to this magazing.  The worst part is how each magazine has a dense construction paper-like front cover ad actually stapled into the binding of the magazine itself, which makes removing a hassle.  So much for paying extra for a magazine without advertisements!

I generally subscribe to cooking magazines for inspiration to try new dishes, but the dull writing style and lack of pictures (especially color photos) in Cooks Illustrated really never made me very enthusiastic about the recipes.  On the bright side, their more scientific approach to finding the 'optimum' recipe for a certain dish, and discovering the purpose of how adding ingredients led to a successful recipe, is quite interesting to a serious cook.  I can certainly understand why some people enjoy this magazine, but it was not for me.

Considering a subsription to CI costs about twice as much as the other cooking magazines for only half of the issues, I felt that the magazine really lacked content or many interesting recipes.

Lastly, I originally subscribed to CI based on all of the positive reviews here on amazon, but to my disappointment I received three letters informing me that my subscription was running out and that I should resubscribe BEFORE I even received m first issue!  Pretty tacky business practices if you ask me.  In the end, I only received 5 issues of the expected 6 issue subscription, but I had lost interest in the magazine by then so never bothered to track down a 6th issue.


title: The best of the bunch

text:
Hooray for food porn!  Bon Appetit is stuffed with tons of great glossy photos of attractive dishes... a foodie's dream come true!

I've had a subscription to Bon Appetit for about 4 years now, and it is my favorite of all the cooking magazines out there.  It is not too high-end or snobby and for the most part you will be able to find the recipe ingredients at your local supermarket.  The recipes are generally not too complicated so an amature cook can create a classy meal to impress guests, or just try new things in the kitchen for fun.

My one complaint would be it seems that the issues are beginning to contain slightly fewer recipes than before and it sometimes feels like their target audience is more of a priveledged high-class lifestyle than an everyday home cook.

That said, considering all of the competitors, I think Bon Appetit is the middle ground and I would recommend it to all aspiring home cooks.


title: New Beauty Magazine

text: Great tool as I am a licensed esthetician and this publication keeps me informed on new techniques and products.  It also provides a list of physicians in my area who are board-certified in their respective fields.


title: Love this magazine

text: Very well written, not predictable, and always some good advice for the man who needs to look sharp either for work or just because he wants to. I've read this magazine for years and while it's changed throughout the years, it's never been for the worse.

title: Unparalleled GREED!!!

text:
So we have been long-time  subscribers  (22 yrs). My husband & I mainly subscribe for reviews about kitchen equipment and culinary products, along with a few recipes researched per year (less than a dozen.

All of a sudden, our access is blocked, under the pretext that we have to subscribe to 3 or 4 differenti subscriptions simultaneously in order to access our infrequent searches.

NEVER have I encountered a GREEDIER bunch than the collective groups of Cooks Illustrated.

Truly, their unmitigated greed is unprecedented. They can take their precious publications and stick them where the sun doesn't shine.

We will not be renewing our long-time subscription.I'm DONE with these crooks.


title: GREAT MAGAZINE

I am very glad I could purchase this suscription through Amazon.

text: I like the articles and good ideas.


title: Repeat articles with Motorhome magazine

text: Lots of work goes into these magazines and my wonderful wife and I are planning on this major purchase within three years. She wants to keep the house as well but I am not so sure. These publications will help us out and I will retain them for reference.


title: Mediocre magazine at best

text: I got a subsrciption to this magazine because I thought I would enjoy it and as a newly wed glean some ideas for my home and I couldn't have been more wrong.  The recipes are overly complicated and some of the dishes just don't even sound like they would taste good and the same goes for the crafts.  Any articles on decorating show drab, boring homes.  Overall I was just very disappointed and will not be renewing.


title: Great Magazine

text: I just recieved my first issue today, and it looks to be a great magazine.

text: This is a men's magazine that still drinks it's liquor straight up, and has a steak dinner three to four nights a week. The articles are good and they have alot of cool pictures.

title: The Arist's Magazine

text: The magazine is well written and includes a good mix of art, reviews and articles.  The option of Kindle viewing and hard copy is what I was looking for in portability versus longevity.


title: Quilting Arts

text: This is a great magazine for quilters and artists.  There are so many ideas for expressing your artistic talents and ideas.


title: One Star

text: Only received three issues .


title: Five Stars

text: bought it as  gift


title: Back on track...

text: A ground-breaking magazine when it first came out, Fast Company kind of fell apart after the Dot-Com bubble.  It was almost like they stopped employing journalists.  Now it seems to be finding its way again by focusing on leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity rather just on the latest technology craze (there are blogs for that).  This is a worthwhile subscription to have if you are interested in what's happening now and what's next in today's information economy.


title: Four Stars

text: The size of the current version is good.  But the original version was a lot better.  It not only provided 24 hour coverage (for those people who work nights and watch TV during the mornings and afternoons), it also provided brief descriptions of the shows.


title: Articles

text: Articles are well written and informative


title: Love This Magazine!

text: I love to cross stitch! I've always had a problem that most of the cross stitch magazines out there are ones that feature designs/charts that are of no interest to me. I was very near giving up buying any more of them but something has drawn me to Cross Stitch Gold. I ordered a subscription and boy was I shocked.  I found project after project that interested me!! I would strongly suggest that if you're looking for a cross stitch magazine, don't let the price worry you. I'm certain there will always be a few objects in each issue that will want to stitch!

title: Nice quality mag, but boring, colorless, "restful" interior decor

text:
I have subscribed to both The English Garden and The English Home in the past, but I decided a couple of years ago to drop The English Home, not because the quality of the magazine itself was lacking in any way -- the glossy, heavy pages are beautiful and there are hardly any ads, except a few very British ones that actually add to the English feel of the publication. No, it's because the house interiors shown are 90% boring, with bland, nearly colorless decor. Almost every room is painted white, cream, very light gray or some variation thereof, with pale furniture, carpets, curtains and perhaps a few pops of color in the accessories ventured by only the boldest of homeowners.

I know it is not TEH's fault that the English are going through a collective decorating phase in which they are pathologically afraid of bright or bold colors -- I theorize that this must have something to do with the social anxieties built into the British class system, with most middle-class people terrified of being "tasteless," or vulgar/common, the worst epithets one can hurl at an English person. Occasionally the magazine features rooms with beautifully colorful wallpapers covered with the over-sized flowers or birds that characterize the updated wallpaper styles after the bitty patterns of the 1980s. But I think most people are still recovering from the excesses of pattern that characterized the Laura Ashley era, and they therefore paint everything in "restful" pale tones. It's akin to the gardening phase when pastel flower colors were the only permissible colors and "hot" flower colors such as yellow, orange and red caused English people to feel faint and fan themselves on garden tours. The trend for American prairie plants has thankfully paved the way for more color in English gardens now, but the same cannot be said for English interiors. I crave beautiful colors!

Bottom line: if you adore pale interiors, you will love this magazine. If you like color, you may be just as disappointed as I was. The exteriors of English Homes are still lovely, with old cottages surrounded by cottage gardens, or beautiful stone manor houses set amid yew hedges and grand gardens. But the interiors are quite a disappointment, and I can't wait until the next era of English decorating asserts itself -- I hope color will be socially permitted.


title: Gret Publicaion and most cost efctiway to subsrbe to it

text: It would get 5 stars if it was really Auto WEEK.  It was a sad day when they switched to BI-weekly.  A lot of people get this publication for its racing coverage. Now they only cover the most recent race and if you are lucky give you a paragraph on the race before that.  Very disappointing.  Someone should force them to change the name to AutoBiWeekly so that it more accurately describes the publication.


title: Look to the Skies through your Telescope

text:
I recently purchased the March 2008 issue of "Sky & Telescope: The Essential Magazine of Astronomy."  As expected, this magazine is filled with advertisements for various telescopes and components.  With my interest in photography, I found most of the ads very interesting and spent more time viewing and reading the ads than I would have previously thought. My oldest son has a student telescope that we cannot seem to get to work properly.  After he viewed the advertisements in this magazine he has asked for a telescope "upgrade."

  In the middle of the magazine are various pull-out March 2008 star charts.  I will admit that my first experience with the star chart was a bit intimidating and took several minutes to decipher.  However, I have successfully used this chart to locate Ursa Major, Polaris, and Cassiopeia.  Once our Upstate, NY skies clear again, I am looking forward to using this cart to help locate the Winter Circle and the accompanying constellations and stars.

 This magazine features several articles each month.  The featured articles of March 2008 include: "Cosmic Superparticle Mystery: Solved?" "Origin of the Elements of Life" "Where Did You Come From?" "Gaia's Mission to the Milky Way" and "Polestars of the Future: A Journey in a Celestial Time Machine."  The second and third featured articles both interested me in this issue and both were also featured on the Cover of the magazine.

 Within this magazine there are many "departments" that would appear every month including a monthly information regarding the sky in general (moon phases, planets that may be visible, and a celestial almanac), The Northern Hemisphere's Sky chart, A Binocular Highlight (tips and what can be seen using binoculars), The Southern Hemisphere's Sky chart, Sun Moon and Planets (what can be seen and expected by the various planets and our sun this month), Exploring the Moon (this month's article highlights craters and lunar impacts), Celestial Calendar (the path of asteroid 7 Iris is highlighted this month), Deep-Sky Wonders (highlighting the stars of Gemini), S&T Test Report (various telescopes, lenses, and parts are evaluated with specifications given), Spectrum (a short note written by the Editor), Letters by readers, Skyscape (Images of the sky), News Notes (short blurbs about recent discoveries and notable news), Mission Update (concerning space telescopes and observations), 50 & 25 Years Ago (discoveries from the past), New Product Showcase (highlights new products, lenses and telescopes that have just been released for consumers), Rambling Through the Skies (an article giving the history and mythology of constellations), Star Trails (general articles about stars, our Sun, Moon and comets), Books & Beyond (recommendations for various astronomy and telescope books), Astronomy Online (reviews of various on-line reference and astronomy related websites), Telescope Workshop (building your own telescope), Hobby Q&A (questions and answers related to amateur astronomy), Gallery (reader's images showcased), and Focal Point (a short, humorous article that closes that magazine).

 Overall, I am highly impressed by the quality images and articles found in this magazine.  There is such a range of information that any person looking at the night sky would be able to find an interesting article among this issue.  The graphics and images that are included in this issue complement the articles and discussions that are presented.  This is a highly informative magazine concerning technology and the night sky and I am already looking forward to the April 2008 issue next month.

title: Want a brief overview of conservatism?

text: I subscribed to this magazine for a short time.  I was interested in the conservative perspective on political issues.  I got bored with the magazine after a few weeks.<br />Though I do not often disagree with the political views presented, I found most of the essays far too short and lacking in-depth discussion of either current events or the conservative slant.  I would personally prefer a magazine that is more unabashed about going into great detail about the whys of issues and events, something that spends more time explaining and defending its position.  The writers for the Weekly Standard seem to take it for granted that their readers are in complete agreement with them, and bypass argument, effectively going straight to conservative venting about political issues.  There is a place in the world for publications like this, but it isn't quite what I had in mind.


title: Consumer Beware:  Consumer Reports Magazine "Auto Annual Renew" Option is not Optional

text:
A couple of days ago, I got online and subscribed to Consumer Reports Magazine.  When the order was complete, the confirmation screen that popped up said that I had the "Auto Annual Renewal" option.  Well, I hadn't seen any such option during the subscription process!  So I went back to the subscription screen, and, sure enough, in tiny text, were the words:
"Safe Renew Offer: As an added benefit you will receive uninterrupted service and delivery of Consumer Reports, and your subscription will be automatically renewed at the lowest publicly available rate on our website. You won't be bothered with any renewal notices in the mail; instead, you will receive a clearly marked reminder at least 45 days before your credit card is charged. You may opt out of the automatic renewal program at anytime (sic) by contacting customer service."
Man, did I feel SAFE!!!!
I had to phone the Customer Service office twice (the first time I was told that my subscription hadn't yet hit their system, and to call back in 24 hours).  The next time, a few minutes ago, I was told that "Auto Renew" was the only option for online subscriptions, but that I could opt out of the option by calling them up.
Now, that's not what I expect from a consumer-advocacy organization.  Not even close.

text: Lots of good recipes and cooking tips.


title: BUYER BEWARE!

text: I love the magazine... but unfortunately had to cancel my subscription because Synapse Inc. (the company that is shipping arch-record through amazon) is incompetent.  The magazine arrived badly damaged (they don't wrap it in plastic when they ship it); to be honest, the injuries to the magazine looked so bad that I suspect it was shipped that way.  I was incredibly disappointed and tried to contact Synapse to ask for a new magazine... the only problem is that you can not talk to a live person at Synapse.  They have an automated customer service hot line with cleverly-worded questions that make it impossible to get satisfaction.  Their website offers no other emails or phone number to contact for help.  There is not even an option to cancel your subscription!  Thankfully Amazon is very helpful and canceled for me.  All in all I would say that Architectural Record is a great magazine and a must-have, just DO NOT order it through Synapse Inc.!!


title: Great Price and Great Guide!

text: This was a requested subscription from my cousin and he loves being able to plan what shows he will watch. A++


title: Gifted for my cousin and he loves it!

text: My cousin requested this subscription for his bday and he loves it. Plan on renewing it. It was super easy to set up and took a few weeks to start receiving... which is normal.


title: Putting Food Babe on your cover just cost you all ...

text: Putting Food Babe on your cover just cost you all the respect you've earned. I will cancel my subscription in a separate email.


title: Great magazine

text: Classic monthly that I truly enjoy.  Articles are not newsbites, but moderate-length texts written mostly by scientists involved in the actual research.  It is refreshing to read "My team" or "I" researched this or that subject in the articles - unlike some mass-market science monthlies.  The 'new' SA does go further now in explaining the basics behind a subject, with a phrase or word of background interjected here and there.  I say, if you want pure science, read Science.  This is a magazine for the somewhat better informed individual who wants to keep informed on many facets of science.

text: REALLY great deal, THANK YOU!!!


title: Educational Magazine With Entertaining Format for Youth

text:
This is a magazine for youth ages 9-14 years-old (grades 4-8) whose sole focus is American history.  Each issue concentrates on a different time period (e.g., The Great Depression), or a historical event (e.g., the bombing of Pearl Harbor) or a famous historical personage (e.g., Henry Ford) of which it provides in-depth coverage throughout its pages, making use of descriptive articles, real stories, photographs (both historical and modern) and colorful illustrations.

The publisher boasts that each issue is created "with input from noted historians, museum curators, and leading children's authors."  Additionally, the publisher's website maintains free online teaching guides for each issue with a variety of ideas, activities, and classroom exercises that teachers can employ using that particular issue.  I'm sure this would also prove helpful for parents who home school their children.

Cobblestone is the only American history magazine specifically geared for children.  Just don't expect it to come every month, as I believe only 9 issues per year are published, corresponding to the school year.


title: Not really a 6 month subscription

text: Was excited to get this for my little ones, but instead of a 6 month subscription we received 3 at once (current month pills two older issues) and then only received three more.  Technically I did receive 6 issues, but didn't expect it to only be a the month deal with a front end load-up.


title: Just get the magazine.

text: It's National Geographic, come on folks.


title: Solid read every month.

text: Fantastic publication, highly recommended.


title: Martha Stewart magazine

text: Always a great magazine and much cheaper bought here

title: Great Magazine, but you can read alot of it for free...

text:
Sure you get a free CD with each issue but if you go to the website, mouse over the "Magazine" link at the top, and click on the "Current Issue" link, you can read all but a few articles for free.

If you still want to buy the magazine, you could probably do better by snagging an insert out of a friends issue.

Hope you have great SUCCESS in all you do!


title: Very nice magazine, but...

text:
... instead of buying a subscription you should go to [...] and see all the articles of any of their magazines up to and including the newest edition.  Then if you feel so inspired to get print copies, it'll be alot cheaper to get it from the CardPlayer.com site.

The forum at the site has alot of good info too.  You don't have to be a member to read from the forum.  Good Luck!

text: Love it, this magazine has so many good ideas month after month.


title: Great magazine!

text: Great magazine for texans. Will continue to subscribe!


title: Happy I subscribed

text: I have allways enjoyed the readers digest it has been around forever with stories that are of interest to everyone.  The only thing that has changed over the years is the thickness of the editions they used to have a lot more in each issue.  Also didn’t care for the hard sell on books that came with first issue. Thought it was a bit aggressive.  Looked like you could easily end up spending a lot of money ,maybe not intentionally.  All in all still happy I subscribed.


title: Not Here

text: I have yet to receive my first issue, and it is two weeks late. I keep getting to run around. I won't do this again.


title: where my copy

text: Cant rate something that I have yet to get a copy of. I feel like I calomst could have done better by going to the store and buying it. I have yet to get my first copy of the magazine

text: The magazine is good-I've read it in past.  However, I haven't received any issues yet from subscription and am hoping I'll get it.


title: Perfect

title: Great Fly Fishing Magazine

text: Bought this for my husband, an avid fly fisherman. It's a great magazine with interesting, relevant, and informative articles. It has articles about locations throughout the US and does not merely focus on the most expensive or exotic locations. Not too many ads. Good customer service so far. Highly recommended.


title: Good Magazine

text: For several years I have subscribed to Southern Living Magazine.  I enjoy the magazine very much.  I especially love the recipes and look forward to them each month.  I have made some great things for my family from Southern Living and they have enjoyed everything I have made.  I have some dessert recipes I treasure and have made them time and time again.


title: do not subscribe, I renewed for two years and got one issue-they are out of business!

text: gone; and so is my money


title: the most helpful

text: good old boat is the most informative, and helpful magazine for repairing and improvong a gold old sailboat.


title: More than light

text: This is such a great magazine.  It is more than great light recipes, but also has other health information such as exercise.  If you are wanting to take care of your body and your family it is a definite bonus to make it fun and easy!


title: Politics in disguise

text: I wanted a magazine about style. If I wanted a magazine about politics, I would have subscribed to a political magazine. I wasted my money. Never again. I guess you can’t subscribe to magazines anymore without left wing politics being shoved down my throat. Never again.

title: stupid magazine

text: It is no wonder why ESPN has to give this scrappy mag away just to get ESPN insiders at a reduced cost. If you are looking for a resourse to know what is happening is sports then this isn't for you.


title: They’ll keep billing

text: I’ve tried to cancel for 6 months and it’s still coming 🤬


title: Kudos for putting Vani Hari on the cover!

text: I applaud Experience Life magazine for choosing Vani Hari to be on the cover of the current issue.  She truly is a food warrior and her message deserves to be spread to all Americans.  Shame on all the trolls (who most likely have been paid to write negative reviews by food companies) coming on here writing negative reviews.


title: So inspiring!

text: I love Cooking Light.  I use their website a lot but there is nothing quite like thumbing through the magazine, with it's beautiful pictures and inspiring ideas.  I have given a subscription as a birthday, wedding and just because gift and all I get is thanks.  I recommend it for anyone who loves to cook. It will only inspire you more to get out and try some new recipes. Enjoy!


title: Great Magazine...too bad i didnt get it

text:
I love this magazine. I've been picking it up in stores for a while now. I saw the subscription for sale on amazon and thought "what the hell!" even though it suggests a 12-16 week for delivery. Well...after 16 weeks and no magazine, i sent a message to amazon...then another, and then two more messages. All i got was a canned response telling me they were looking into it. Finally called and cancelled after 6 months and no sign of it.

V Magazine= 5 stars
Amazon Customer Service = 0 Stars
Magazine Distribution company that Amazon uses= 0 Stars

bummer.


title: Sophisticated stuff, interesting for kids

text:
If I listed the topics Muse covers, you'd never imagine

that anyone would be excited about it.  It's just

so well done, though.  My kids read it instantly,

cover to cover, and they even push it to their friend's

parents.

Even more oddly, most of it is good for adults, too.

At least, for adults who haven't had all the curiosity

and silliness beaten out of them.  And, it's even right!

(I used an article in a University course I teach.)

It has a little of the flavour of Buckaroo Banzai,

of Dark Star (the Movie), of Larry Gonick's Cartoon Guides,

a touch of (but only a touch) of Horrible Histories...

There isn't anything quite like it.  I hope they can

keep it up.


title: Modified Mag is the $#!t

text: Sure, it doesn't have as many chicks as Super Street or Import Tuner, but Modified Mag somehow manages to get better feature cars and find better parts every single time. Not only is it awesome, but it is consistently awesome. Best tuner mag every - subscribe!


title: Four Stars

text: Good for daydreaming about future projects!


title: Three Stars

text: Too many advertisements


title: Just what I needed.

text: I subscribed to this magazine on a whim, and am happy to receive a copy each month. There is great information in here for working moms, and the additional information on the magazine website is also very helpful. The only draw back, is that I wish they produced 2 a month :)


title: A wonderful discovery

text: Popular Science entered my household during the past year via our resident seventh grader. I must admit that I had not picked up a copy of the magazine in a few decades (since I was a seventh grader?), but it has quickly become one of my favorites (no fights yet over who gets to read it first, however). I can't say enough about the magazine itself: In short, it has adapted its content to a Men's Health-influenced architechture, editorial sensibility and pace. Great writing ranging from two sentence "cool gadet" finds to indepth investigative journalism offer the reader plenty of pleasurable surprises in each issue.


title: Very funny!

text: Lots of laughs on every page of every issue! I wish I had subscribed years ago.  But subscribe on MAD's website (as I did), so you don't have the delivery problems many reviewers here on Amazon apparently encountered.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine.


title: Convenient and affordable

text: My subscription comes each month just as expected.  Will order more of my subscriptions thru Amazon... even though my New Years resolution is to cut back on magazine subscriptions.


title: great gift!

text: magazines always make a great gift cuz its so much cheaper than buying them at the store and my grandaughters really loved this magazine.


title: grandaughter loved this

text: this makes a great present for a young girl. my grandaughter is 10 and loved this. the newstand is so expensive so this is a great deal!


title: Excellent writing, great tech historyb& future

text: Excellent writing, has been one of my favorite magazines since I used to have a subscription. 10yrs ago, magazine is still great, writing maybe even better


title: Beware! No sales tax, but the publisher notifies the state revenue department of your purchase.

text:
This magazine was a gift, and the recipient enjoyed it very much. However, be forewarned that when purchased on Amazon, no sales tax will be charged.  Because of this, the publisher sent me a letter to notify me that they had sent a summary of my purchase to the state revenue department in Pennsylvania (where the gift recipient lives).  As a result, my tax preparer charged me $25 extra to prepare and send the PA Use Tax Return (PA-1) form required to pay the $1.38 in sales tax I owed, thereby more than doubling what it cost me to buy this subscription.

In fairness, I did find out later that I could have downloaded this on my own and filled it out for free, but when notified by my tax preparer that I owed PA sales tax while I was standing there in his office, I did not know what other options there were.  Overall, the best options are either for the publisher to find a way to collect the sales tax through Amazon if they are going to sell here, or the purchaser should be aware that the publisher will send a record of the sale to the state revenue department.

text: I use it every single day! I love the articles in each edition as well.


title: No magazine

text: I never have received one magazine.


title: Missing Issues

text: Love the magazine but rarely get them. My husband got my a subscription last Christmas and I have received about two thirds of the issues. The customer service usually responses quickly and about a month after I complain, I get the issues about a month later.


title: Wonderfully nuanced look at international occurrences

text: I have a student subscription to The Economist, which provides an excellent look at a variety of political and economic occurrences around the world - this includes quite nuanced and in-depth peeks into the internal politics of other countries, which is a large part of what I read about and study. Each article is an informative read. While the magazine does have its biases (and to be fair, what news magazine does not?) it more than adequately explains the intricacies and complexities inherent in the issues it discusses. Recommended for anyone who is looking not only for the news-in-brief, but thorough analyses of global current events.


title: Five Stars

text: i like to study turquoise and silver and red stones and settings and this is the best


title: Great stories and information

text: Love this magazine!


title: Ok

text: Nice magazine, when it comes...I don't seem to get it each month.


title: Too Left-Wing

text: I subscribed to Wired because I work in technology and I love all things technology related, unfortunately, Wired is just too left-wing.  If you're a liberal, you'll LOVE Wired, but if you are a libertarian or conservative, you will hate this magazine.  Why are they alienating half of the population?  I have no idea.


title: Food and Culture at one of its best.

text: I recently moved to the plains states region of the United States and was absolutely clueless on most of the cuisine of the region (well, most of middle America, actually) and this magazine has been so much fun and I've learned so much about food and culture. Taste of Home is down home cooking and if you're not careful, you'll gain a bit of weight trying more than a few recipes a week, but your taste buds will thank you. Have fun!


title: Book vs the  Nook

text: I just wish you could get it at no cost on  your Nook when you have subscribed to it too...


title: Interweave knits

text: I never received it, giving it any stars is sort of pointless. Likewise I really don't see much point in being required to write 20 words for a product I have never seen.


title: Complex Topics, Easy Reading

text: I ordered this magazine on a whim with some airline miles that were about to expire.  I didn't expect much, so I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.  I look forward to receiving each issue- the articles tackle complex issues, but are easy to read.  The articles are original, interesting, and insightful.  I subscribe to several business magazines, and this is the only one that I consistently read cover to cover.  I'm here to order a gift subscription.


title: Best house magazine.

text: Provides a mix of history and home renovation with tips and tricks from the experts.


title: Wonderful resource for young Catholics/unacceptable length of time for subscription activation

text: I love Magnifikid, so highly recommend the product. However, I am very disappointed with the amount of time it took for the first packet to arrive. Order was place in early November 2016, and I didn't receive the first pack until this past weekend. For a product that is intended to be used on a weekly basis, this was a ridiculously long time to wait for the subscription to activate. I presume that delay was caused by the intermediary subscription manager. Going forward, I will order any Magnificat/Magnifikid subscription directly from the publisher.


title: Good overview, but facts not always accurate.

text: I enjoy the brief glimpses of relatively new scientific discoveries, but I've noticed when I research more on a topic the articles are not always accurate. The opinions are always slanted liberal, which is diappointing since I'd like both sides of issues. Sachs, in particular, has glaring inaccuracies in the last 3 issues. If the magazine is liberal biased, fine, I just wish they would be accurate. There has not been a good essay writer since James Burke. I try to skip over those now. Their essayists are not only inaccurate, but lousy writers and boring as well. I realize Burke is impossible to replace, but they could try a little harder! Scientific American is worth getting for overviews of science today, but keep in mind that the fact check level is about the same as tv news. Think of Scientific American as a stretched out tv news science section!


title: YES! IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT SEATTLE!

text: What I really love about this magazine is that it's not just about Seattle. It include Seattle and the surrounding Area. I Live in Tacoma Area and after trying other other magazine, Seattle, South Puget Sound, Sunset. I really like Seattle Met. I love article about weekend getaway ideas and other northwest flavors. Keep it up Seattle Met! That is why I continue to have a subscription.


title: PII risk - lack of account info security

text: I canceled my subscription IMMEDIATELY after signing up when I discovered my personally identifiable information from the Bloomberg subscription out on the Web without a login password protecting it! Bloomberg customer service flatly refused to remove my data or to disable the account access. They lied about canceling the subscription - I had to get my credit card company involved to get that done - and they refused to understand that anyone with an old magazine or a ten-digit number string generator can access this information.

text: I have only received 3 digest


title: The sandwich issue was the last straw

text:
The quality of the recipes has gone downhill significantly.  Used to dog-ear four to eight recipes each and every issue to make.  The last year or so, I've been thrown in the recycling after arriving.  NOTHING of interest.

(On a side note - I used to be excited when it arrived in my mailbox.  Then they started to deliver it via newspaper carriers.  Less excited to find it soggy in a bush weeks later.  By the time it came back to the mailbox, it started to go downhill.)

This month's COVER STORY / FEATURE on sandwiches was the worst.  Three ingredient sandwiches?  Broccoli and melted cheddar on a baguette.  Grilled cheese.  Tuna salad.  Surprised they didn't include Jif peanut butter and Smuckers jelly on white bread.

Other treats from this issue include:

- Nachos.  BUT WITH CAULIFLOWER
- Another sandwich.  Jambon Buerre.  BUT WITH SAUERKRAUT
- Chicken and rice
- turkey meatballs
- Clothing I can't cook without
- WATER IS IMPORTANT FOR COOKING


title: Great magazine if you can get a dry one

text:
They have recently switched from shipping the magazine via the postal service to contracting with local paperboys.  Now I walk down my driveway to find the magazine in the bushes or a puddle - instead of placed in the mailbox with my other mail.

A friend of mine who lives in an apartment building has learned that while people generally won't steal a day old newspaper from the floor of the building vestibule - magazines that cost $8 a copy on the newsstand usually don't last a day in his building.

Print media was slowly dying; Conde Nast finished it off.

And the cover story, A to Z guide for sandwiches?? Boring. Not many interesting recipes to be found either. Won’t be renewing.


title: Don't get scammed

text: I subscribed to BA for many years.. but after I was offered a deal for a few months I thought why not try it again..<br />So after ONLY 1 MAGAZINE... I was given a billing offer with FULL PRICE.. so I stopped it... BA is thinner and not like the ones I ordered for more than 5 years... Im glad for the internet..


title: appropriate for 12+

text:
I've been looking at the other reviews and noticed a lot of them are saying innapropriate, or shallow, etc. I agree and disagree. On the agree side....I don't think all of the articles in this magazine are appropriate for younger girls. But I'm 13 and yes, we do kiss boys. We have boyfriends, some of us have started dating...this magazine is really relatable  for girls 12+. However, I do think the three page kissing article was kinda overboard.
On the disagree side, GL actually has a lot of helpful articles. I don't find the articles "gossipy," I find them inspiring. for example, in the December/January issue they included an article called "unbroken." It was about how Miranda Cosgrove got in a car crash but is recovering. They have book suggestions that are pretty cool, and I like their articles about keeping new years resolutions, etc. They also have Dear Carol, a section with advice about not just boys and dating, but friendships and problems that girls start to experience in middle school. I have personally found this advice helpful. And, okay, let me just come right out and say it, they have good advice on your body...
As for the clothes and makeup, I do think that's more for the older teens.
There are a lot of varied opinions about GL. I would read an issue yourself before you decide if it's appropriate. If you don't get GL, make sure that the mag you do buy will actually interest the girl (wouldn't recommend American Girl for 12+). Hope this helps!

title: Favorite Cooking Magazine

text:
My Grandma gave me a few old copies of Cook's Country and now I'm hooked. I now own the complete collection of Cook's Country through both books and magazines. Having just thumbed through them all to create a recipe index, here's what I think:

Pros: No advertising. Recipes that actually work, the first time. Hardly any convenience products (i.e. mixes or cream of chicken soup) as ingredients. I'm a meat & potatoes kind of person, so I like the type of recipes they include. I also like that there aren't too many casseroles. The dishes focus on meat or on vegetables, making them easy to tweak for picky kids or guests with special dietary needs.

Cons: Large size means I can't fit them with my other cookbooks. Some of the recipes are too elaborate/expensive to make regularly (or at least on a weeknight). Some of the recipes are modified slightly and included again in later years. I am at a higher elevation (3500 feet) and stovetop recipes take a lot longer than they say they should. The recipes almost all use flour and/or butter/dairy, making them hard to modify for gluten-free or dairy-free diets.

That said, this is my favorite cooking magazine and the only one I currently subscribe to.


title: The best computer mag on this planet

text: The title says it all. I have been a reader of PC Mag, Electronic Games, PC Zone, PC Gamer, PC world etc in the past. The reason I prefer Max PC over the above is that it contains just the right amount of information about hardware, software, technical details and games. I ordered the CD version from the maximum pc's website. The CD contains some cool applications, graphics drivers and game demos / mods. It will save you some time in finding and downloading the apps (especially for non-broadband users).


title: i like this mag...

text: def a cool mag i like to read alot since growing up as a kid i can rememeber reading all theses cool mags back 20yr ago.. my fried always had cool mags like theses..i love them ..

text: It’s all adds, and a total waste of money.


title: Excellent  Computer Magazine

text: Maximum PC is an interesting well written magazine. It is  also loaded with information about new technology and hardware not yet on the market. I love this magazine.


title: Lots of Fluff...not much Stuff

text: This magazine has lots of nice pictures.....but lacks the indepth articles that Fine Homebuilding or Fine Woodworking offers.  Its basically a promotional of the long running tv series, and will disapoint anyone above a novice in construction.


title: Excellent

text: This magazine has so much interesting information! I try to keep up with Russian culture and I love the little slices of history and language that are added in. Those are the building blocks for all the changes Russians have already accomplished and what they hope for the future. I have been a subscriber for many years!

title: Inspired to experiment

text:
I've always enjoyed this magazine, but I've come to be devoted to it since the new editor took over. It celebrates a wide range of cooking styles, gives helpful advice with the recipes, and takes you to other parts of the country and the world to learn about food.
What really turned me on recently was an article on the art of the dumpling. The author included a number of recipes, one of which I tried--matzo balls made with the addition of ground almonds. Oh, boy, was it great.
Gourmet will give you a lot of inspiration for giving meals variety and will encourage you to try new foods and new ways of preparing food.
