title: Customer Service is not good

text: Ordered this for my niece as a gift. They mistakenly sent the first issue to me (billing address) instead of my niece. I emailed to correct the problem. They said they would update the address, but said the October issue would also go to my address. The address correction would be for issues after that one. It's August! I'm cancelling the subscription and getting her a subscription to Animal Baby instead. My niece's older sister loved that one and I never had any issues with them.


title: Informational

text: Magazine is quite nice but it mostly ads versus articles about areas.  As we live on the coast we still enjoyed it.


title: Good reading

text: The magazine is in keeping with Nat Geo's glossy pics.  I was a bit taken aback by the selections as they are all very pricey.  I was sort of looking for more destinations in the U.S.  nonetheless, it'a a great read!!


title: Great Magazine

text: I get so many good ideas from this magazine. Anyone with a older home, or even a newer house can enjoy the articles & tips. Plan to keep my subscription for years to come.


title: What is coming next month.

text: I liked the recipes the most.  I want more.  Air fryer recipes. It is interesting to take a look into the chefs kitchens at home.


title: It is ok, that's why I re- ordered it ...

text: It is ok, that's why I re- ordered it.  I am a Cranialsacral Therapist and occasionally you have articles about that.  As true of all magazines there are way too many ads.


title: Disappointing!!

text: Not the Yankee of old! Very disappointed. Too slick.


title: The ironic thing is that they talk about how the other side is filled with hate. You forget that most people just want to ...

text: I'm very sorry I get this, it is just so filled with hateful writing toward President Trump. The ironic thing is that they talk about how the other side is filled with hate. You forget that most people just want to live happily. I bet you do too. You think he is wrong.. fine. A lot of people thought President Obama was wrong too. I call them both my president. Let me ask you if it doesn't make sense that you can't have open borders while providing a welfare safety net for everyone that comes in. This probably wont help because haters gotta hate.


title: it's dull and it's not even funny

text: Mad changed the format of their magazine this year. Now it's a shiny, it's dull and it's not even funny! What a pity. Where are all the great writers gone? Spy vs Spy is still in there and that's all there is left. Terrible and so sad.


title: I Recommend The Mystery Scene Magazine

text: If you like mysteries you will like this magazine.  It gives you information about authors and at times you will find out snippets about unusual mysteries. This magazine also has short stories in it.  I am a fledgling writer of mysteries so I appreciate Mystery Scene.  I do believe, however, that a person who simply enjoys mystery stories will enjoy this magazine.  I can't wait to get the next issue in the mail!


title: Five Stars

text: I gave it as a gift. The recipient loves it!


title: Must read

text: Good magazine! Lots of great ideas.


title: Good magazine

text: Liked everything


title: Good for a non-techie too!

text: I've enjoyed Wired for years, but was recently given this subscription. Great magazine for a non-techie, maybe even better for a techie? Helps me keep up a bit. Everything came sooner than expected. I haven't accessed the on-line version yet, but am looking forward to it.


title: Inquiring minds

text: My grandson loves getting his own mail. He loves the magazine with all the animal pictures and information.


title: Missing Issue

text: My son never received his February 2019 issue. His subscription doesn't end until June,  and I have already received a subscription renewal mailer. He does love the magazine, hence 3 stars.


title: News the way it's suposed to be

text: Fantastic news magazine. Look forward to every issue. Have had a subscription for 2 years now.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine to learn financial history.


title: Four Stars

text: My 4 y.o. loves it. Looks forward to it when it arrives.


title: Not as much useable content anymore.

text: I used to be a hardcore Bon Appetit fan.  I probably don't cook as much as I used to but I also just don't find that many useable recipes anymore, more articles about cooking.  Still this is a very user friendly magazine for home cooks and beginners and very pretty.


title: Five Stars

text: Fantasy & Science Fiction is still putting out a great collections of short stories in every issue.


title: Flash Art

text: I wanted the English edition and for some reason I must have signed up for the Italian one.  i am receiving the wrong magazine.  What do i do?


title: Keeps me up with trends

text: I use the magazine to see what sort of trends are out there and try and look for less expensive versions in store. Most of the menswear shown is high end and out of my price range. But like I said it gives me some good ideas


title: Cost effective and interesting reading

text: I knew about popular science before purchasing at amazon.  What I was looking for was a great deal that would guarantee delivery.  I've ordered from discount websites before that later did not have the product.  Getting a refund was difficult.


title: Beautiful homes with great tips.

text: Love this magazine.  Gives you get inspiration and ideas.


title: NIce offer

text: I got this subscription to a nice offer from Amazon. WIRED is a cool magazine.


title: Reasoned and logical.

text: Something that gets you away from the 24hr news cycle. Well reasoned and logically laid out arguments. Even if you don't agree with the conclusion, it provides a rational argument for what the author believes.


title: Five Stars

text: great pictorals and write-ups!


title: Short, sweet and somewhat repetetive

text:
This is a great deal on this magazine.  I think you could even find it for less than $1 per issue.  So, the value of the magazine is fantastic.  However, I think the content leaves something to be desired.  I have subscribed for several years and I have two major critiques:

1.  I can read the entire magazine (obviously excluding all the ads) in one sitting.  I wish there was more actual content.

2.  The content that is there can be very repetitive.  For instance, every year there's an article on how to photograph fireworks, one on how to photograph animals, etc.  It seems to be a lot of the same information repackaged.

That said, some of my favorite features are:

1.  Great gear reviews.  They are very thorough in their testing of equipment.

2.  Variety of articles ... instructional, theoretical, artistic, practical, Q&A, etc.

Great bang for the buck!


title: Keep up to date

text: It is a very interesting magazine and helps keep me up to date.


title: Five Stars

text: enjoyed the fasions.


title: Canceled and they still charged me

text: They renewed the subscription after I canceled and they did not credit my account...  Make its clear of start and stop dates as they have assumptive.... renewal practices


title: Five Stars

text: Full of great recipes. Very well laid out magazine.


title: Nothing more than a Liberal Rag...

text: I found more use substituting it as t.p.  Not looking for a far-right mouth piece at all, looking for something that provides consistent balanced views.


title: Three Stars

text: The quality of the mag isn't as nice as shown in the photo


title: GQ: A Stylish Cut Above the Usual Men's Mag

text: Unlike Maxim, Stuff, FHM and the rest of the new breed of men's magazines, GQ is in a class of its own, with a more style-conscious, upscale leaning than its upstart competitors. [It tends to be heftier than those mags, as well: Special issues, like the 'Men of the Year' annual, weigh in at as many as 500 pages, which- despite an abundance of ads- includes a wealth of interesting stories and photos]. Unlike its more glib offspring, which tend to rely on short, candy-ish items on sexy women, GQ focuses more on men of style and substance. Investigative reports by experienced, skilled journalists also separate GQ from other fashion-oriented magazines, which are often visually appealing but short on journalistic content. With its consistently strong photos, layout and design, GQ is handsomely ahead of the pack. For those less interested in fashion and more interested in journalism, Esquire is a good alternative choice. And readers after flashy, voyeuristic flair might be best served elsewhere, but GQ readers will be rewarded for their restraint with the occasional raunchy- but refined- spread. GQ seems aimed at the over-30 male, but the mag's assortment of model males apparently appeals to women as well, since they seem to be well represented in the magazine's readership. Overall, GQ is a stylish, elegant read that stands apart from its newer, splashier, offspring. A good choice for the style-conscious male reader.


title: i loved it, but couldn't keep up with the frequency of publications

text: so, i stopped my subscription and give to my guy friends. they love it, too. when time permits i borrow their copy without feeling like i am wasting my money.


title: more is more regardless of the age demo

text: at first i was insulted to receive a mag for 40+, but i like it. it's not an older woman's mag. it's a mag for the everyday woman--seasoned professional, with or without a family. now i receive it and give it as gifts to friends.


title: perfect for the fashionista

text: lucky is a great, quick read. the stickers make it easy to tag and remember great looks, fab stores and products/websites to check out.


title: I also noticed the price difference!

text:
Having submitted my order in May 2005, and getting my first issue in late July, I was somewhat irked when I also noticed the subscription price difference.

That aside, it's really an interesting magazine.

Please don't think it's for everyone, however.  Unlike other publications that look at the archecture elements or design elements, I believe this is for folks interested in preserving a shrine to the '50s and '60s life-style.  It is innocuous enough to use that weird green and pink, together, to make some sort of statement I suppose -- but I didn't like it when it was "trendy."  The boomerang accent tables are a wonderful comparison for the difference between "mod" and "modern" and why alot of folks wouldn't want to get too far back into that "mod" thing.

Overall, pretty good.  Just don't get stung on the subscription price.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Magazine


title: I so look forward to each issue

text: I've had an ongoing subscription to Vanity Fair for about 10 years.It is the one magazine subscription that I won't let expire.I really love it,especially Dominick Dunne's articles and the rabid anti- Bush stance of the entire editorial staff. Well worth the price.

text: There should be more magazines as informative and exploiting of new up and coming technology and science going on in real time.


title: Every thing we expected!

text: I ordered this subscription for our two grand-sons.  Both of our sons had the subscription when they were young and it was important to us that their children be introduced to a fun, learning experience through this magazine.  The boys are having a grand time. It is every thing we expected.


title: On target magazine for the enthusiast trek and climb.

text: An outdoors enthusiast, enjoy reading the articles and the pictures are dramatic. A we'll put together magazine for climbers and Trekkers alike.


title: Don't receive all issues!

text: Ordered March, 2021 ... First issue received was June, 2021. Did NOT receive July. Then received Aug, Sep, Oct, and November. Just received January ... so NO December issue. It's supposed to be 12 issues per year! Don't waste your money on this!


title: Best magazine for food lovers.

text: Love this magazine, everything about it.


My grand daughters ages 11 and 12  love getting this in the mail.  They have proudly stated "I really do read the entire magazine - and not just look at the pictures".  Because this world is so technically advanced, getting a preteen to read for pleasure is hard.  Thanks to their love for wild animals and national geographic kids magazine, reading for pleasure is no obsolete.


title: dont know how to acess the sd card

text: always reboots itself after power outages. always able to connect with my android. never had a problem.


title: Used to be a better read

text: I feel like the editorial quality has declined. I now skip half of the articles as irrelevant.


title: Fantastic Coastal Magazine

text: Love Oregon Coast magazine as I can only get up to the Oregon coast a few times a year and this magazine brings the coast to me. Great photos and articles.


title: Good Magazine

text: Other than the septillion pages of ads that they put in the beginning pages, this is a great magazine. I enjoy the articles, the women that they sometimes feature are pretty attractive and the tips for style and grooming are in the ballpark. I recommend.


title: Okay...

text: Idk i find myself not looking through these magazines anymore. They're kind of boring. I tend to read gamepro more often than not. But hey, the demo cds are a plus.


title: Scam ?!?

text: How can Amazon continue to offer this item with all the negative reviews about it being a scam?


title: Only received one issue

text: Only received one issue in 6 months time.


title: Men's Journal - birthday gift for hubby

text: I got this magazine on a promotion for $1, and the timing coincided perfectly with my husband's birthday. It took several weeks for it to kick in, but we just got the first issue last week, and I think he was tickled. He's from a country without the robust print-media culture we have here, so at first he didn't really get it. Then, when I suggested he take it with him to read on the bus on the way to work, he said, "Good idea," and he's been mentioning things he read in it to me since. He even suggested it to his friend who came over to visit. I really think he likes it, and although I haven't taken a look at it myself, that's enough for me! Plus, the price was great! I may renew the subscription if he keeps enjoying the issues...!


title: Five Stars

text: Best for home improvements and ideas.


title: Refreshing

text: Just a nice change of pace.


title: As far as visuals go, this mag is a work of art!

text: This magazine is extremely well designed, produced and it's content is intriguing. I would have to admit, this is pretty much GQ for home renovators, meaning, most of us will never ever have enough money to buy even a faucet from any of the designs. As a Graphic Designer I have to say this magazine is one of my favorites to just glance at. Every picture is amazing, every page is well designed and laid out. The content is well written. The materials used wreak polish and quality. It's not the magazines fault I'm poor, but its images of extreme opulence remind me.


title: Great Women's Magazine, Great Price & Super Fast delivery

text: Bought the magazine for my wife and she loves it. Great sale price on subscription, and initiation for delivery of magazines was faster than I had expected. Wish I could find the same deal on Maxim and Men's Health!


title: Think of the magize as HOTROD  for  PC Users!

text: I have been subscribing to this magazine for about a year now and I totally love all the articles in this magizine.  Think of this as your PC technology monthly update.  I am a Network Administrator for a Fortune 500 company and this magazine is extremely relavent to my desktop duties.

title: Aggressive Subscription Renewal Scam - Subscriber Beware!

text:
Beware of Country Living magazine.

My wife purchased a 1 yr. subscription to Country Living magazine, but one without the automatic renewal option.  She didn't care for the magazine and thought the magazine lacked enough substance to make it worth even the modest subscription price.  So, she wrote cancel on the renewal notice and sent it back.  She thought that would be the end of it.  Wrong.

She continued to receive issues and renewal notices.  Four months later, she received a rudely worded letter from the magazine's credit and collections department stating, "When we agreed to bill you later, we anticipated that you would forward payment upon receipt of our invoice." (This was a blatantly false assertion.  We made no such request or agreement.)  It closed with, "Take a moment now to settle your obligation with us and we will promptly reinstate your subscription."  Remember, this was a subscription without the auto renewal and one that had been canceled.

So if you do subscribe to Country Living and then decide you don't want to continue at some point in the future, expect aggressive renewal practices ("refusal to cancel" is the technical term) and attempts to intimidate you into sending payment for something you didn't request and/or no longer want.

I'd read about these practices (most recently on an Amazon Customer Review!) but I never expected to encounter them.  I will be sure to pay attention to them in the future and offer this review in the spirit of sparing someone else this hassle.


title: Poultry Press

text: Great publication for those poultry enthusiasts that want to keep up with current shows and exhibitions.  Many ads for stock, equipment, and feed.  A lot packed in to each months issue.


title: Great magazine

text: This was a great gardening magazine it also taught my family how to create a rain barrel which was actually pretty easy and considering we are in a drought it is wonderful to use rainwater to water our plants.


title: Specialkids

text: Got these for friend's 3 children & they LOVE the magazine (2-4-6)


title: Customer reviews and product info helped me decide to purchase ...

text: Customer reviews and product info helped me decide to purchase  this magazine for our grandson; however, I took the advice of one customer and went to NWF website and was able to save $$ by ordering there.


title: Reader's Digest Large Print is a winner

text: I bought this subscription for a friend who has difficulty reading regular size print, even with the aid of reading glasses. This is the second year I bought her the subscription and she assures me that it has helped her stay more connected with what goes on in the world. Reader's Digest has quality articles and the large print edition is a great service for people who need extra help to enjoy them.


title: magazine!?

text: You must be kidding me! This is not a magazine, just a few pages of easy-reading articles. It is literally 3 to 5 pages. When I first got it I thought it was some kind of an ad or something.


title: Fun read!

text: My grandsons are very interested in science & animals so they are enjoying their magazine.


title: Worth every word written

text: Excellent magazine, a must have for all Whisky and Bourbon enthusiasts (new and old alike). Great articles, information and whisky tastings...!

text: I ordered this magazine for my son last year for his 9th birthday.  He loves it and looks forward to each new issue.  He reads them over and over again.  When I asked him if he wanted to get a subscription for his 10th birthday that is coming up, he answered, "YES"!


title: Good.

text: Always a favorite.  Miss Brock Yates.


title: No good.

text: All about foreign cars, especially<br />BMW. Don't waste your money.


title: Great, healthy preteen magazine!

text: My girls (8 and 10) LOVE this magazine.  It's full of things preteen girls are interested in--crafts, rooms, quizzes, friendship information, and so on.  But it is NOT full of advertisements, celebrities, and images that will corrode girls' self-esteem.  A really fun, healthy magazine for girls this age!

title: Crap

text: I wish it was possible to give this zero stars.  Elle used to be a big thick book full of gorgeous clothes and makeup and trends.  Now it is nothing but a thin pamphlet for man haters and socialist agenda.  I’m canceling before my subscription is up because I’m embarrassed to have this in my mailbox.


title: Good reading

text: Bought this magazine subscription as a gift for my wife. She looks foreward to receiving the monthly  magazines, the different articles. She would recommend  the magazine to a friend.


Great magazine! Lots of interesting recipes with photos...no advertisements, either! It lost one star because the recipes are (sometimes) not foods I would choose to cook. Generally though, I love Cuisine at Home!


Cricket media produces excellent children's reading material! My children enjoyed it… Now I'm sending it to my grandkids! Keep up the good work!

title: Amazing magazine

text:
Wired has been the magazine that I've enjoyed the most.  I am desperately waiting each month for it to come.  I've been a subscriber for 3 years and before that, I used to read it online.  The only thing that annoys me is the high volume of advertising, but I've got used to it.
I read about 80% of the articles every month and still I think they are the best on new trends of technology.
I highly recommend this magazine for technology enthusiasts and techies.  It really worths the money.


title: I love the magazine but everytime I get an e-mail from ...

text: I love the magazine but everytime I get an e-mail from HGTV it wants me to buy a subscription to open the articles. I thought I got an all-access subscription already! I have trouble with the website too. I made a account but it still wants me to buy a subscription. I guess I don't get it...I thought I would get a code or something to prove I bought the subscription. How do I prove I alread y paid for it????


title: My favorite magazine

text: Haven't read or subscribed to Golf in a long time but saw a good deal and signed up. Wish I had done so sooner. Magazines seem to be a dying industry but Golf is the one I read straight from the mailbox. Not entirely focused on instruction like Golf Digest; more equipment, travel and lifestyle features.


title: Five Stars

text: Best magazine ever!!


title: Great magazine

text: -although I can read  it on my iPad I enjoy receiving the  magazine and once done I  sent it to my friends overseas


title: Old issue mailed

text: While I love the magazine, after waiting over 5 weeks for my first copy, I received a older issue that has been on the newsstand for months. And I had already purchased it. Since the magazine is only issued 4 times a year, I disappointed that I will really only receive 3 issues .


title: The ultimate magazine

text: My favorite magazine!


title: Not the magazine it used to be

text: Very little tech articles, and those seem to be politically motivated. I tried a few issues before canceling and all were pretty horrible.

title: Magazine subscription

text: It's nothing wrong with the product. However the problem is about buying magazine with this site, cause you will not get every issue, may be just 6-7 issues. I had read same comment before I bought it last year but I didn't think anything. It's a lot cheaper to buy form here that buy from the magazine publisher itself. Nothing wrong with book. Just want you to rethink before you subscript.


title: Double subscription problem

text:
I renewed my subscription through this method.  Unfortunately, I am
receiving 2 magazines.  I have contacted GH 2x, but still receive
duplicates.  I will be complaining further if this continues, or if
my subscription is lessened by the duplicates.


title: Five Stars

text: my daughter loves the magazine


title: Four Stars

text: Decent read with great work out routines.


title: Magazine or Advertisement?

text: This magazine is waste of money.  It is so full of advertisements it's ridiculous.  Had to turn 25 pages before getting to a page that wasn't an ad.  I will stick to Marie Claire where you at least get some decent articles in-between the ads!


title: National Geographic.

text: I bought two subscription, one each for my two sons. Hope they will read the upcoming series about the DNA steps of the Australian aborigines, from Africa to Australia..


title: too big!

text: I do not enjoy the whole book idea od the puzzle on 2 pages. I like one puzzle on each page.


title: The real deal

text: This magazine has grown from its original Mississippi roots, to be one of the premiere blues mags anywhere. You'll learn more than you can imagine about the music and those who cultivate it.


title: Handloader

text: Even if you're not a handloader, "Handloader" magazine is still packed with interesting firearm related information.

text: A very good informative magazine. Has lots of good and useful information.


title: Seven Year Old Enjoys

text: Seven year old granddaughter looks forward to read this publication every month. Given as a Christmas gift.  Very educational.

text: It lives up to the reputation. Excellent magazine to share with friends at school. Great read for young adults. Can't wait for the next issue...


title: It's always good

text: It's Sports Illustrated, of course it's going to be good!


title: Didn't receive my magazines

text: I received a year of the subscription but it stopped coming after some time, even though the subscription was renewed and I paid for the year.


title: Meh

text: Nice pictures, fun to flip through quickly but very brief especially for the price, short bits of scattered information instead of actual full articles. Seemed disorganized and didn't hold my children's interest with the constantly changing topics. Lots of ads.


title: Five Stars

text: all good


title: Good price for Good Housekeeping

text: This is the best price I have ever found for this magazine so i purchased 2 gift subscriptions for less that the usual price for one.


title: Requires Patience

text:
Patience.... because unless you are a true Geek
it requires you to go through multiple copies
to find articles of value in applying
& appreciating the technology
it reports on.


title: The reviewers actually listen.

text: I have heard several of the components recommended by the Absolute Sound. The reviews seemed right on. Consumer Reports recommends very inexpensive sound systems and says that they sound good. My feeling is that they are terrible compared to the much more expensive systems recommended by the Absolute Sound.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine!!

title: Beware!  Never shows up

text: Don't order magazines from Amazon!  I don't know if this is a publisher issue or what but I ordered June 4, 2008, still no magazine by Sep 30, 2008.  Amazon (after multi holds etc.) tells me that I am on my own with the publisher.  Will reverse charges.  Poor service!!!


title: Food Network Magazine

text: I am an avid viewer of HGTV so I do enjoy their magazine.  I have only had one magazine so far but I found it very entertaining and informative. I do look forward to the next issue.  I only wish it was a monthly magazine!

text: I ordered this as a stocking stuffer for the boyfriend and he loves it! Looks forward to it coming every month!


title: have nothing yet

text: As of May 17 I have yet to receive my first issue so I cannot recommend it. It is disapointing that it is taking so long to begin my subscription.


title: Popular for me

text: An old standby.  Over 10 years a monthly pleasure to read.  I look forward to each new issue.  Great gift for like-minded folks.


title: Great mag

text: Even better than POP MEC.  I'll be a long-time subscriber.  Has the latest info on new developments.  One of my favorites.

title: Great Magazine; Great Convenience!

text: I've read this magazine for several years now, after having it recommended to me by a friend that I trust.  Great Magazine; Great Convenience!


title: Not Worth Having

text:
Two things. First, I stopped getting it before my year was up.

Second, the DVD was full off things I got free for having Xbox Live.

Some magazines are great but not videogame magazines. The articles don't have any depth, pictures don't accurately portray a game because you need to see them in action to get what the game is like and the whole magazine is filled with topics that are at least a week old by the time you start reading it. I prefer online articles that appear as the stories unfold.


title: Good Product

text:
Food Network puts out a pretty good magazine. I bought a year for my girlfriend for $5 last Xmas and there are plenty of good recipes and how-tos for aspiring chefs. The price for resubscribing never got back to that $5 mark, though, so I had to let it lapse. I initially got it because she was buying it off the newsstand and that was like $10 a pop so $5 for a year was a great move and she loved getting it.

The problems with the magazine was that ours tended to show up near the end of every month instead of the beginning so it'd be like "make this for 4th of July" but we didn't get the magazine until nearly August. We still haven't gotten our December issue, for example.


title: Bad!

text: I subscribed this and received only 2 issues out of 12. Not regular.


title: Educational yet enticing articles/short stories for kids

text: Great literary mag for kids.


title: This magazine is paper thin...

text:
I subscribed for a year just because the price was only $10. I now know that the price of $10 was not really worth it for this magazine. First of all, when you hold it in your hands, you can feel how light and insubstantial it is. Then, you open it up and it's mostly ads for motorcycle gear and cars (!). I used to like Motorcyclist for its articles and the way I would get excited about new bikes and technologies they presented.

But then I started reading the far, far better UK bike mags like Bike and Superbike (which are more along my interests anyway since they mainly feature sportbikes). But you pick up one of those, yes they cost $10 each, but they are like 5 times the weight of Motorcyclist and jam packed with actually relevant articles that inform me and get me excited about riding every time I read. Unfortunately for us Americans, the UK bike scene is better in every way, so it's mostly a gallery of what we can't have.

Anyway, skip this magazine. It's unfortunate that Motorcyclist is actually among the best general interest motorcycle magazines in the US, which speaks volumes about the state of motorcycling in this country.


title: Not what it used to be...

text:
I was thinking about purchasing a subscription to Penthouse magazine because my fiance didn't object to the idea. Penthouse was the first "dirty" magazine I purchased when I turned 18 back in 2002. I was very pleased with the content, mostly pictorially, when compared to the much tamer fair of the Playboys I had hidden in a box in my room.

By the time I entered college, I had six issues of Penthouse. I had also discovered that 90% of the internet (which I hadn't had access to until I went to college) was comprised of pornographic websites, and that you could get a lot of the content for free (especially just women showing their private parts). I gave three of the issues to a friend (who's girlfriend blocked porn on his computer) and still have three somewhere in a box.

Enough with the back story. Today, I purchased the July 2008 issue of Penthouse. Much to my chagrin, pictorially it is equivalent to the Playboys of the mid-to-late nineties. All you get is a little exposure of feminine private parts (as compared to Playboy now, where you get breasts and perhaps the top part of a well-trimmed and air brushed bush). Yes, some shots are spread eagle, but not with the true intent of that position. In the older issues I had, before Guccione sold the magazine in 2005, you got spreading, toying, masturbation, waterworks, and even some penetration (I can do without the latter...just looking for the women).

Even semi-tasteful smut was dying in the late nineties, mostly due to the efforts of censorship groups. This killed the market for Penthouse by eliminating its presence on military base exchange stores and other stores around the country. It forced Guccione to eventually file for bankruptcy and sell Penthouse in 2005. The $8 newsstand price didn't help the magazine sales and still doesn't.

On the cover of Penthouse today, you'll see a small Support Our Troops ribbon. I have no problem with that. I support the troops. I have friends involved in the Iraq Conflict. I chose to be an engineer instead of following them over there.

It's not about keeping the image of the magazine anymore. It's all about sales and marketing (competing with Playboy for the softcore market). For that reason, I say that Penthouse has sold out. I'll still enjoy the Penthouse magazines I have that are dated before 2005, but I won't purchase any new issues or get a subscription (even at $2.50/issue, it's not worth it).

Penthouse used to be midcore. Playboy was softcore. Hustler was hardcore. Now, Penthouse is softcore, Playboy is fluffcore, and Larry Flynt still won't budge to political pressure because he's not a sellout, so Hustler is still hardcore with a decent price tag.

The only thing that has remained unchanged are the articles targeted to the 18-30 crowd, but even Playboy is catching up on that front. The 30-50 crowd just isn't buying the fluffcore magazines anymore. They're buying high-priced hookers instead. If you're in it for the targeted articles (in which case, consider buying a magazine where articles are the focus instead), then go ahead and get it. It'll make more sense to you than Playboy. You could always just go to G4TV.com or EGM to find out what you "need" to know about popular culture.

Penthouse still uses relatively unknown Porn Stars. You can find better photos of them for free on the internet. This month it is Carli Banks, Shawna Lenee, Sonny Leone, and revisits from other previous Penthouse pets in mock lesbian scenarios where nothing happens.

So, that's more than my two cents...it's my waste of $8. I'm glad it wasn't $30.


title: Women's. Day Magazine.

text: Didn't received the issue as listed. Received only 1 issue.


title: soaps

text: my mother loves this magazine it keeps her actively reading she reads npw more than gets to follow the program on tv


title: THE best women's magazine

text:
I buy this magazine often from Barnes & Noble in the states.  It's filled with content I that I wish all the popular women's magazines were filled with: Fashion, cooking, interesting interviews, product reviews, home design etc.  The magazine has everything and I find myself constantly going back to the same magazine until it's essentially torn to pieces.  It's a perfect Sunday morning read, and it'll leave you entertained for hours, at least for me it's about 3 hours of unapologetic mag & tea time.

My only gripe is the price in the US.  I think it goes for $11.  That's a lot for a magazine so I refuse to purchase it every month, I can't justify this monthly expenditure.  I wish it were cheaper, sure.  But it's a great, whimsical, well rounded product.  For that I am pleased.


title: Balanced Men's Magazine

title: Cooking Light's Recent Increase in Advertising

text: I subscribed to Cooking Light for years and loved it, often making several recipes from one issue each month.  I didn't subscribe for the past 10 years or so, and got a subscription again this past year.  I can't believe how shameless the advertising is now. Almost every recipe has the same exact promotions and says stuff like "1 cup brown rice (such as Uncle Ben's)."  First of all -- really? You have to specify the brand of brown rice I should buy?  And second, Uncle Ben's is not going to ensure you're cooking anything special.  The magazine must have a great product placement deal with Swanson's, too.  So if you don't find this flagrant advertising annoying, and you like flipping through a magazine for ideas instead of Pinterest or other online sources, I think it's a nice source for fresh and relatively easy recipes.


title: I enjoy reading SHAPE

text: knowledge, strength, and wisdom.


I learned so much from this magazine about gluten intolerance.  Great Recipies, great articles and stories.<br />We have, happily, come a long way from the days of eating cardboard.


title: Great mag that sold out long ago, yet I still read it...

text: I've been reading Rolling Stone from the first issue. I value the incisive political reportage even more than the music news, reviews, and profiles--maybe because many of my favorite musicians are those I first listened to in the sixties, and many of them are now gigging with the band of angels. But tonight I have to withhold that fifth star because a Kardashian on the cover?!?


title: Five Stars

text: I gave this to my daughter.  She gets ideas for hiking trips from it.  She loves it!


title: Nice prie

text: Bought this for my mother he has received this for years. The lowest price I've seen and easy to renew each year.  Much cheaper than the offer that comes from nat geo each year.

title: Wanted it - Got it - Loved it

text: I have been wanting to get this magazine for a while.  I love the color orange and was excited to see it as one of the featured colors used in the issue I received.  I have many ideas for decorating at home, the office, and helping friends.  It is sure to be on my 'must renew' list each year.


title: After you cancel your subscription, you will receive magazines and past due bills.

text:
My grandson enjoyed Highlights for a year, and we felt he had enough after one year.
I twice cancelled through my Highlights website account at the end of our year, and I have received 8 email bills since. Maybe twice a month I get "Polite Reminder, Payment Due", "Do Not Ignore, Payment Past Due".
My daughter is concerned that they continue to receive magazines.
It's really annoying.  After 4 months of "Overdue past due balance requires your action", I'm taking action and I'm posting this review.


title: Woman magazine

text: Been a fan of Woman magazine for years good read,helpful tips etc.


title: There is none better

text: A well written down to earth magazine for the true biker. I read it cover to cover because they speak to my creative side.


title: Five Stars

text: enjoy this magazine, look forward to each issue.


title: Don't Waste Your Money

text: This magazine seems to spend more time pushing personal politics and little time on any aspect of a woman's health, fitness, or true development of "self".  Further, the politiking is poorly done and sensational.  Don't waste your money.  It is amateur journalism at best.


title: LOVE!

text: There is not much to say about this magazine beyond, I absolutely LOVE it! It was a brand new subscription for me, and I had actually never seen one prior to receiving the first of my subscription. I feel a little like a schoolgirl receiving the newest celebrity magazine with their current heartthrob plastered all over and in it when my DIY magazine arrives! Everything else gets dropped onto the entry table so I can take a quick perusal and ooh and aah at the contents as I quickly flip through and skim. And that's only if I actually make it into the house and don't end up sitting in the driveway for a few minutes looking through it out of impatience to see what fun things and amazing projects they're discussing in the new volume! Absolutely thrilled with this purchase and will likely order again!


title: up to date, inspirational

text: This is beautiful with many inspirational pages. If I wasn't already getting so many subscriptions, I'd reorder. Maybe next year. I do like to switch to new ones every so often.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine!  Great recipes...


title: This magazine is awesome.

text: Full of interesting stories, products, pictures from all over the world!


title: Not really edgy

text:
I got this magazine subscription free, so no complaints there about the price. That being said, I would never buy this magazine willingly. It tries to be edgy and provocative, but falls short in my opinion. Only edgy if you've lived a sheltered life.

The only positive was the magazine format itself and the paper. Awesome gloss to it, and I did like how it was bigger than your average mag.


title: Great Magazine

text: Great for nautical interests


title: Great Magazine

text: Since its original publican, I have found this magazine to be very information and interesting to read.  It keeps me current on what's happening in Sacramento.


title: Love this

text: I love all the recipes in this magazine and I look forward to receiving it each month. Love, love it.


title: Kids enjoying getting magazine and mail in their name!

text: Bought two subscriptions for my grandkids.  They seem to enjoy them!  Teachers expect them to read a certain amount of literature each week, and so these came in handy!


title: Love this magazine.

text: Love this magazine.


title: Great value / Problems with redemption

text:
The offer was great value - discounted magazine renewal combined with Amazon gift card bonus.

Unfortunately the automated system sent me half of the Amazon credit I was entitled to and I had to contact support to resolve. That said, Conde Naste's support people acted quickly to fix the problem and send me the additional gift card.


title: This is really one of the few true photography magazines left

text: Sadly, most photo magazines are really camera magazines, unceasingly comparing this Nikon with that Canon for an audience who couldn't compose nor discern a decent photo regardless. This is a real photo magazine featuring some of the top work world wide, Parisian gallery scene, and book reviews of significant photographic interest.


title: Good Content

text: I'm enjoying my subscription of this Rube Goldberg type Audio Magazine. Content varies from clever to just plain goofy but always a fun read. Just a word of caution, this magazine is rather technical. While I have an Electrical Engineering background, more casual readers might get less out of this publication.


title: Love It

text: I got a subscription really cheap on Amazon for this.


title: Magazine Subscription

text: I'm beginning to get worried. I still have not received a single issue of this magazine. However, you can bet they were quick to collect their payment.


title: Read some of it but not all

text: I got mine copy and I enjoy looking at it


title: Big letdown (unless you are an electrical/sound engineer)

text:
Basically a sound engineering Guide.  Not a good read for the audiophile enthusiast who is NOT an engineer.

Plus, reviews are of equipment far out of reach for 99% of people.

It would be great to have cheaper gear included as well.


title: kids Love it

text: My kids love reading this magazine.


title: Grandchildren Love It!!

text: This particular children's magazine was recommended to me by my daughter-in-law--an old favorite!!  My two grandchildren love it and look forward to receiving a magazine just for them each month!


title: Great Magazine for Cat Owners

text: I really love both CatWatch and CatNip. They have a lot of good health information about cats. However, I have not received my first issue since I renewed so I guess I'm going to have to call or something. I'm being asked to review something I haven't gotten!


title: Great magazine for the DIYer

text: Ordered it and received my first issue in less than a week.  Most of what is in here is online, but I still enjoy printed materials.  Great magazine for the DIYer.


title: I love this magazine so much

text: I love this magazine so much. It is so informative. I have done some of the things in the magazine and improved my own health.


title: Great activities and comes in the mail!

text: Bought subscription as a gift. The kids love the activities and best of all: getting mail!


title: Mostly just a price guide

text: The majority of this periodical is a price guide. I was hoping for more articles.


title: Five Stars

text: This is the BEST photo magazine ever published.  You have to subscribe to it.


title: Good Atlanta Informational Magazine.

text: I do find some good articles in the Atlanta magazine from time to time.  I have enjoyed reading it.


This magazine is affordable, informative, enjoyable and both well written and aesthetically pleasing.

I love cooking, I love reading about cooking and nutrition.  Eating Well has taught me history, culture and some new kitchen tricks.

I think that covers it.


title: hgtv

text: One issue so far and I bent down several pages to go back and visit again....I think I am going to like this subscription.


title: Great Magazine, but don't get it from Amazon

text:
I paid Amazon for a 52 week subscription and received a 39 week subscription.  I didn't find this out, of course, until about week 42 when I realized that I hadn't had an issue in a few weeks.  It took hours on the phone for them to even to find out this information.

Here's what you are doing when you buy this:

Order through Amazon, Amazon gives your money to Magazine Express, Magazine Express buys a subscription from Hola.  This means that if there is a problem you have to wait forever for them to go through the entire chain of people.

By the way, you can order Hola from [...] and PAY LESS (just a few dollars, but it IS cheaper).

title: GREAT DEAL!!!

text: I purchased this item in 2009 and was very pleased because I only payed $5.00 because their was a promotion going on. usuall it costs $5.99 an issue at stores!!!


title: You have to be willing to change ingredients

text: It always has recipes that you can make your own


title: Must have in any home library

text: I have always had a copy of National Geographic available to me. As a kid I glanced at my Dad's copy (just for the pictures- I had a subscription to Ranger Rick that was more my style until I was 8). As an adult I read it cover to cover every month and its the first magazine I look for on the newsstands. Simple the best magazine that is published.

title: For those with interest in Technology and may or may not be a Technogeek.

text: I like this magazine because it provides new and upcoming products and does a fair job in researching the things it represents. Is it perfect for the TechnoGods out there? No, it probably will fall short of satiating the best of hhe best. But, for all the peasants in the valley, it offers commoners language and applicability. I love it♥


title: Disappointed

title: Love these!

text: My 4 year old love these! He learns a lot from them!

text: I have not received sn issue for over 20 years. I grew up reading it and it was like going back in time. Glad I did

user_id: AGAHVXAVSNSAGAZXAVQFHLCXPWHQ


title: Absolutely horrible experience

text: This mag isn't what it used to be, that's for sure. Mostly pictures, very little substance in the articles. If you're planning to use the online site you should forget about it because it's 95% advertisements and pop-ups that take forever to load (and I have 200Gbps) and significantly take away from the experience of attempting to read any kind of article. Even tried the Kindle but it just looks like it's auto-generated as a scan of the print copy and not actually a Kindle version so it's pretty unusable as well. Can't believe I'm saying this, but you'll actually get more out of ESPN than here. Sadly, I grew up on SI but won't be trying it again now. I would recommend that you stay away


title: Just not for me, but good magazine-

text: I think this is a great magazine, at least from the one issue I read. However, its just not for me. I wasn't interested in many of the articles. There is a great variety of topics and interests covered, including ways to save money, de-clutter your home, several recipes, and beauty product reviews. The ads were minimal, and I did notice a few coupons throughout. I'd say that if all of the regularly featured topics are interests of yours, this mag won't disappoint. Smart, up to date, fun and refreshing.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good magazine.


title: Great magazine on paper. Need better online experience.

text:
While the magazine is great and one of the best to read, the online experience is aweful. Even when you are logged as a subscriber to read the content online, you get constant reminders to subscribe, with incessant pop ups in your face, big banners on top of the screen that limits reading and want you make just  stop reading anything.
The marketing or content strategy of the magazine needs to change and let subscribers enjoy promotion  free, annoyance free reading.
Also the customer support isn’t what it used to be with no live support in the US and email only exchange. Seems the magazine is either in cost cutting mode or trying to squeeze out more money from traffic.


title: Best Gift subscription

text: I buy this German magazine every year for my Mother for Christmas and as a birthday gift. It is a weekly subscription that my Mother eagerly awaits and then reads cover to cover.  My Mother is German and this helps her stay connected to her heritage.  She enjoys the content especially the natural holistic health suggestions.  Yes, she loves following royalty and this magazine definitely provides all the latest news about all royalty in a very respectful manner.

title: Different from only other equine mag.

text: PRO: It's still monthly. Low price. Cool Pictures.<br />CON: Like many mags today it has a lot of advertising.


title: Comic Relief, the magazine

text: ...This is a unique collection of short humor columns and bags of the best contemporary cartoonists, with some clinkers here & there. The effect of going through an issue in a single reading (which is usually how it goes for me) is similar to viewing a particularly fast-paced comedy/slapstick act, such that the misses aren't noticed after so many hits, and with the ultimate outcome one of relief from the contemporary, um, workaday scene. Slants left unashamedly, which is how it should be left-slantywise...


title: Highly informative, high quality publication.

text: The presentation and content of MAD is an enjoyable MUST for everyone interested in antiques.


title: Best business and finance magazine ever!

text:
I fell in love with this magazine since the first time I read it! And if you're wondering whether you should subscribe to it or not then probably you haven't read it yet! And thus my advice to you will be, SUBSCRIBE! It's worth your money and much more!
Every edition carries in it many interesting reports about companies and executives in the US and the globe, analyses of economies especially the US, and they even have their own market indexes!
If you're involved or would like to be involved in the business world, this magazine should be among your weapons.


title: Four Stars

text: Good stuff so far.


title: Terrible Customer Service

text: I called in my subscription because I wanted to avoid receiving as my first issue the one I had already purchased from the stand.  The rep said that she couldn't stop that issue from shipping but would extend my subscription one issue.  Good enough.  I get my first issue and the expiration date does not reflect the extension.  I email them and again I am told they have extended my subscription to fix the problem.  I get the next issue and the date still does not reflect the change.  I give them the benefit of the doubt in thinking maybe the change didn't make the printing press.  Third issue comes...still no change.  So I decide to check my account online.  Still shows old expiration date.  So now I will have to contact them a third time.  Either their reps are completely inept or trained to lie.

title: once upon a time.....

text:
i used to get lucky when it first came out and remember it was a mag to find deals on things like knock off clothes for super cheap....kind of like you were "lucky" if you were able to snag such a good find....well, slowly over time they started to morph into every other fashion-y magazine out there. every page filled with items in the $500-2,000 range....which is not where im at financially.

i gave it 3 stars because its still entertaining to look through but its not what is was and im assuming what it was intended to be.

am i the only one who saw this change?


title: My own vision of this sad event meaning

text: Why four stars ? Just to not be like everyone who has put 5 without reading it :) You can agree or disagree with their thoughts, making fun of everything is sometimes good to take an overview of what's going on. For what i know they were fighting to have a more tolerant world and i respect that. If you take a subscription, read that with your own critized sense, why those drawings, do i agree with it, what's my own personal vision of those news is what every reader should think. As a french citizen, that what has been attacked : my freedom of thinking.


title: Just okay

text: As a fan of National Geographic, I had high hopes for this magazine. There are a few interesting articles in each issue, but the reader is overwhelmed by ads.

title: I love the recipes

text: I love the recipes, but agree with the reviewers who find the company deceptive.  After signing up for the digital edition I discovered that many of the recipes were not available to me because I needed a higher level of membership.


title: Interesting info on food from many cultures.

text: I read all the interesting & informative articles and enjoy trying many of the recipes.  I look forward to each issue.


title: Insecure Bullies Won't Win

text: Will I like it? I don't know. Do I speak french? No. Do I think some of it might be offensive? Maybe. Is the purchase worth it? The purchase is priceless. You can't put a value on a free and open society. Stick it to these mental midget, violent, pathetic, cowardly human beings who are so insecure about their beliefs that they will mercilessly kill fellow human beings because they are "offended" by what they say. Show them that life is what is sacred. Stand together and rid this world of this disease.

title: Huge discount through Amazon

text: I've subscribed to Rolling Stone since 2003, and I've always valued the content. I'm glad I could get a huge discount through Amazon, because if I simply renewed my subscription through Rolling Stone directly, it would have cost me around $80 for one year.


title: Terrific deal

text: We purchased this title as a gift and the recipient loves it already. Great magazine, great price ! Will definitely shop Amazon again.


title: Technology is Our New Era, Why Not Get A Magazine Based on It?

text: Great magazine for our era of hyperactive technology. Technology is always being updated, and, really, we are still trying to keep up with it. This magazine is helpful in doing so. It covers a variety of topics, and, the content is rich in facts and explanations. This is a great magazine filled with great information for those who love technology and appreciate what is has done for us in the past and the future. Great product, great articles. I'd say buy it if you like the aspect of learning and keeping up with technology and its niches, ideas, inventions and advice.


title: Great

text: Time is timeless since it is always updating on new stories. Great articles on what is going on around your world and at home. Very informative. Try not to get lost in the politics of it all though. Have your own opinions and learn from the information you read, do not worship what you read. Great mag. to expand your knowledge and understanding of current events. But, cherish your opinions and don't forget, there are many sides to "one story". This mag. can be a little biased but overall, can be very educational.


title: Great Magazine

text: This magazine is very HUGE but worth the pocket money. It is highly affordable and a joy to read. Yes, there are a lot of ads but there is a lot of information in there too. Lots of great tips, stories, pictures, fashion advice, dating advice, some gossip, tips on makeup etc. Overall, it is a great magazine for the younger to older adult crowd. I really enjoy reading this magazine by the pool too. It is very interesting and addicting! I really enjoy it and will subscribe to it again when my time is up.


title: A little Too Old Tradition

text: I enjoy this magazine but feel it is more so for an older female crowd. Despite the awesome prices, it still rings to me as a housewife type of magazine which is fine if you enjoy working in the home. It has useful tips but I was overwhelmed by all the ads. The content is a little weak for me and does not expand beyond the kitchen and the dish washing and the cooking really- in my opinion. I wish the content was more gender equal- the magazine is for sure geared toward the older married perhaps with children woman. Or single lady working in the home. I will not be subscribing to this magazine again due to personal taste. I bought it because it was so cheap but all my issues have only been laying around unread after reading the first two I received. The content needs to be more rich. The ads less.


title: If You Like Being Smart with Money, Then this is For You

text: I enjoy all the tips and information this magazine gives for finances, business, investing for both global and local aspects. It is a well-rounded magazine with great information. It helps to have this magazine if you like to help your pocket grow and knowledge expand. Great magazine and worthy of the price.

title: A Martha Stewart Magazine for the rest of us!

text:
I couldn't say enough good things about this magazine if I tried...
I buy magazines all the time and had just recently stopped buying MSL.  While that too is fab magazine, I'd often think, "Wow, that's a great recipe/project/idea.  Maybe one day when I don't have a life outside of being a happy homemaker I can spend the time to do that..."  This magazine is different - recipes for real people!  The recipes are simple and easy to follow.  The ingredients don't require shopping at specialty food stores and high-tech gadgets are not required.  It is the first time I have made more than one dish from every issue so far.  There are even recipes that use the leftovers!
A big thanks to Martha for thinking of the rest of us...


title: The times is a joke of a magazine

text: Such a one sided magazine. These articles don't provide two views only one from the far left what a shame.


title: How long does it take to mail a magazine?

text: Zero Stars! I purchased the magazine in July, and 8 weeks later received a postcard letting me know they can't meet recent demand so I won't be getting my first magazine until Nov 27th. Don't waste your time with any print publications.

title: Starters for Picking Up a Book?

text: The older children can read to the younger children with "Kids Magazine".  The printed page can grow into small books and encourage reading.


title: American Girl Opens the Reading Door

text: Reading choice time became a holiday in the classroom with  "American Girl Magazine".  Magazines do not take the place of books but it is a starting point.


title: Great for Cat Lovers

text: My brother was very happy to receive this as a gift.


title: Rude letters when you do not renew

text: This unethical company sends you faux debt collection type letters when you opt not to renew your subscription.  The content is hit or miss and the retention attempts by their subscription department is just the last nail in the coffin for me with them.  I will NOT be subscribing or buying another copy of this magazine.  Half of it is ads anyways.


title: Agree with other review, this magazine has gone down hill

text: Once a much better magazine, it has turned into nothing more than fads and monotony, often features the same people over again and is going down the drain. Does not remember what it was or why it started. Have subscribed for years and am ready to cancel.


title: My grandson loves these

text: I bought these for my 2 year old grandson and he loves them. He loves getting mail too!


title: Quality in decline

text:
We all know that Michael Bloomberg is an awful person. But somehow the magazine used to be great. There have been interviews with proud Tesla advocates, Microsoft "Chief Empathy Officer", and other fun sarcastic articles, as well as informative business and economical reports which is the majority of their contents. It has helped me a lot in understanding the business and making decisions in things like the stock market. I would like to thank the hard working journalists and editors for this.

Now since the issue of May 11th, 2020, Michael Bloomberg has been posting his own articles in every issue in the "Bloomberg Opinion" section. Most of them are political contents and there is a lack of due diligence in making sure that the information is good information. This leads to the question of whether or not the rest of the magazine contains bad information as well. I have noticed a rising amount of political contents in general and the amount of useful contents does not justify the price for me anymore.


title: Great Magazine

text: I recieved a recent copy of Maximum PC as a gift and I have to say I'm quite happy with it.  The reviews are in depth, and mostly feature length instead of short half page reviews.  The hardware reviews are interesting and benchmarked well, and the editors appear to know what they're talking about.  The taglines they give to their pros and cons are also entertaining.  I'd highly recommend this magazine for people interested in PCs.


title: Decent, but not great

text: After recieving a recent copy of PC Gamer as a gift, I read it and I enjoyed most of the articles.  A lot of the reviews are short, especially for games they give very high reviews.  For these games they should be able to write more than they do and create more feature articles.  Kinda skinny on the Hardware reviews, but its a game magazine.  If you're looking for that, I like maximum PC


title: Love it!!

text: Love it!


If you like clutter and boarder line hoarding. Great you'll love this . It is ok if you like to collect old stuff. Some of it will give you idea's to decorate. To expensive for me to just look through it and throw it out.


title: Same old tired stuff...

text: I subscribed to McCall's quilting magazine for many years.  The last 2 years I took it I was disappointed time after time.  First they changed the size, so it's not nearly as big and thick as it was.  Then it seemed they had the same old tired looking patterns over and over.  They need new people to contribute to the pattern lot.  Got tired of traditional quilts with some of the ugliest fabrics I've seen.  What ARE those people thinking?!  Until they improve, I wont ever buy copies once in a while at the news stand.


title: So very Disappointing!

text:
I was terribly excited when HGTV came out with a new magazine and subscribed to it right away.  I received 2 issues and bought 1 issue before the subscriptions started.

I was soooo disappointed!!!!  It was page after page of nothing but advertisements for stuff like paint, toilets, etc.  There were no articles, How To projects, or anything of that nature.

When I would look up the main attractions that were titled on the front page, it was something so dumb, like a picture of a door.  Or a picture of a chair.  I expected articles.  OR even steps to makeover something, or pictures showing steps to makeover something.  Nothing but advertisements.  I'm just not paying for that!  I canceled my subscription.  HGTV can do MUCH better than this!!

text: I like Cats I like Catster great magazine and knowledge.


title: Worst customer service!

text: I have attempted to opt out from receiving daily emails from EW for many months now. I no longer have any interest in EW as I believe it went downhill over the past few yrs. I even requested their customer service group remove me from their mailing list - and despite a commitment to comply with my wishes - the emails to come back to EW just keep coming! I wouldn’t subscribe again ever!


title: Very cute ideas

text: I love that the patterns are pretty easy to enlarge to bed quilts and are well written.


title: Heads up next year!

text: This magazine will Auto renew two months before you're subscription runs out. It is very difficult if not impossible to cancel this and they don't give you prior notice. It renews at four times the price you paid originally.


title: Worth it for $7

text: My daughter likes this magazine.  However, I was less then pleased when I received an email AFTER paying for the order stating that this magazine is not sent our regularly and that they could not guarantee how often, or not, we would receive it.  I think I should have been notified of this PRIOR to ordering the subscription.


title: Finally

text: I could no longer find this in stores at home or in airports.  I love working on these puzzles while on travel.  I do happen to love Math but working on these also helps keep your mind sharp.  There is a good mix of math problems and logic items - and that is all the magazine contains.  It is so much better than general puzzle books for what I am looking for.  I'm hoping I like ordering thru Amazon so I can easily cancel when I want and not get annoying follow-up 'come back' requests.


title: adville

text: welcome to adville - tried the mag for $1 and may be good if i didn't feel as though i was thumbing through a mall in hollywood - still trying to decide if it was worth the buck...


title: No Delivery!

text: This magazine was ordered October 31st and still has not been received as of January 4th.  What is the problem!  I ordered a subscription for two different families as a Christmas present.  Boy do I feel like a Scrooge!


title: great insight

text:
As a Chinese-American who has been residing in the states for almost a decade, I find most publications to be polarizing. They are either so anti-china to omit anything that has to do with its economic development and exaggerate in terms of their "human rights" violations: most notably the "correctional facilities for fa lung gong practioners". or only exalt the huge strides theyre making economically, omitting any social issues.
I find this publication to be the least biased one i have came across on China.  It explored both sides of the issue. it explored topics i do not want to think about my homeland such as "involuntary hospitalization" and racism towards minorities. it has a very balanced account of all of today's happenings in China.
good thing all LA county libraries have this publication. no need to pay a dime.


title: Good magazine with potential

text: I was very excited to subscribe to this magazine. I thought, "wow a magazine for a novice like myself". Yet I found it boring and not very helpful. I can find the same information on the web by using a search engine.


title: New Format of magazine

text: I absolutely do not like the flip-over format! I am paying a discounted price and still not sure you magazine is worth that much.


title: Be sure Auto-Renew is not automatically selected for you.

text: This magazine is absolutely worthless after reading for a few months.  In addition, this company will select auto-renew for you.  Be sure it is not selected, as you will not receive any notice until it just shows up on your statement.


I teach French at the high school level, and I look forward to each issue of Bien Dire.  I really value the magazine for the wealth of vocabulary and and cultural content.  I especially appreciate the idiomatic language that is depicted so well and the articles that offer the study of vocabulary and structure at various levels.  It's a great tool for further learning and reinforcement of language.


title: FLUFF, SHALLOW AND MULTI LEVEL MARKETING SCAM PROMOTER

text: When reading this I feel like I am reading People Magazine, it is that trite and unimportant. The people they feature give the impression their success is because of their will to succeed etc. while conveniently ignoring such things as family wealth or inheritance. It also promotes Multi Level Marketing which has been proven, even scientifically to be a scam for the person working it but not for the owners. On their Success Magazine store online I noticed a $5.00 CD on the topic. If you are unfortunate enough to order it you will likely be receiving this phone call for the rest of your life, "Hello, I am Bob and I have heard that you are looking for a business opportunity, well let me tell you...."<br />Also, almost ever single article is actually an ad.

title: More than a decade of rich, foodie goodness

text: I have been reading CI for more than a dozen years, and it never fails to delight; my only regret is that I spent many of those years buying it off newsstands before thinking to subscribe. The recipe descriptions (often homing in on their target via some weird quirk of food science -- brings out my inner chemist, I must say) are terrific, and so are the clear and concise line drawings used to illustrate. I'm sorry Chris Kimball is leaving, as he seemed to be the driving force behind the whole enterprise, but there are a bevy of people behind him.


title: What??!!

text: I don't have a tablet. I do enjoy the magazine, but next time I'll probably just order in through conde nast.  These reviews are silly.  I see that the list of things I have "purchased" is very long.  Most of them were free books for my kindle.  If someone is using my name to purchase things, I am not being charged, so who is?


title: More than a fan mag - more than a TV show!

text:
If you are a fan of the world of Doctor Who, you can not go wrong subscribing. Past,present, and future issues are covered on a regular basis. The magazine has in depth articles regarding its history and those who played a role in it.Each issue also comes with an animated comic of the current Doctor(in COLOR even!) and very professionally done.  There are reviews on every new product including DVDs, CDs,Books, and Audio Dramas. Once a year there is a FREE CD issue that includes an exclusive audio drama from Big Finish Productions. There are very humorous and enlightening editorials in each issue. All spin off series are covered as well (i.e. Bernice Summerfield, Faction Paradox, etc. ).
Overall the magazines visuals are excellent. They have the largest library of exclusive Dr. Who photos on Earth.
The only thing that I can complain about is the price - I could buy a lot of the books for this price. But where else are you going to get such extensive coverage? Cheap fan mags are okay, but this goes far beyond!
And for those of you who have not kept up with Dr. Who - it is no longer 'just' a tv show - it is a genre.


title: used to love Rolling Stone Magazine

text:
I understand that Rolling Stone magazine is edgy, loves to stir controversy, but the last edition with the Boston Marathon murderer was not only in poor taste, but crossed a boundary for me.  I will not be renewing next year because of this.

The story could have been covered, and pics could have been posted inside.  But giving him "rock star" status by putting him on the cover is insensitive at best.


title: Excellent!

text: LOVE this magazine! Great for beginner and intermediate gardeners. Excellent, useful advice and beautiful photos.


title: Fabulous stuff

text: Always loved Vogue, a fabulous read each and every time. I really enjoy the November issue and would never miss it no matter where I am.


title: A must read for anyone in the antique business

text: The best source for AT&T information present and past


My sister gave my husband a subscriptions which he always reads.  Frequently he saves most of the issues. Other family members liked it so much that now everyone has their own subscription1


title: do not order

text: I ordered the first copy last July.  It was supposed to be $5 for the year.  The first issue never came but 6 months later they are billing me $17 for a renewal which I did not order.


title: Love USA Today

text: Magazine Express Inc. is a disaster to deal with for buying a subscription. Love USA Today.....


title: More entertaining than Macworld...

text: me thinks anyway... i always saw macworld as Apple's public relations magazine... it's informative, but they seem to do whatever Apple wants in so far as the information that they present... not necessarily skewed reviews, but they're not trying to ... Steve Jobs off either... MacAddict is a little more fun of a format... it's also very informative.... i try to never bother with the CD/DVD rom of shareware.... i'll find it over the net if its that important to me.


title: but all of them like it a lot and i think they are going ...

text: Many of my friends did not know about this magazine, but all of them like it a lot and i think they are going to subscribe to it !<br />For my part i think this magazine is at the top of all the traveling magazine in America. Best of informations about traveling, food, restaurants, hotels, everything you need to havea wonderful vacations somewhere around the world.


title: Interesting magazine

text: Interesting magazine for people who enjoy discovering new places around the world. they also have great advises for taking airplanes or direct yourselves in foreigners cities. and the pictures are beautiful too !


title: I love this magazine

text: I love this magazine because i feel very close to the Mother-Nature healing system. Interesting articles about natural healings treatments and medecines. i am very familiar with this kind of approach since in Europe we have so many holistics doctors.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine


title: Could be better!

text: I love this magazine, yes they try to sell stuff. My biggest gripe with this magazine is they don’t send them. I have never gotten them all, and have gone months with nothing. And some times two at the same time. A two year membership seams to be a one year no matter what you pay for.


title: So Many Delicious Recipes!

text: I am so glad I subscribed! The recipes are amazing and all gluten free (you wouldn't know by the taste - so good!). Also being a stickler for design I have to comment on how beautiful the layout is!


title: Brain candy

text: It's been a while since I've read a Popular Mechanics, but I subscribed in hopes it would be as good as I remembered. I am happy to report that it has exceeded my expectations. For light stories about new inventions, or just how things work, it succeeds as before. And for feeding your imagination, and helping you 'think out of the box' it works really well, as it did before. I've also bought gift subscriptions for my offspring, and they are enjoying it too.


title: Terrific

text: A perennial winner


title: Better off buying it in store

text: Awful. Only got about 7 issues. Came every three to four months.


title: Farm and ranch pictures, recipes and stories.

text: I loved giving this as a gift. Wonderful magazine for those who enjoy pictures recipes and stories from farm and ranch living.


title: Coastal Living magazine

text: For people who live or want to live on the Gulf of Mexico coast, this magazine provides helpful articles on decorating and landscaping.


title: Helpful article

text: I've subscribed to Good Housekeeping for years.  My criteria for whether I renew a magazine is based on how many pages I turn down in an issue.  I go back through and cut out recipes, review websites, save articles and clip coupons.  Good Housekeeping continues to consistently deliver.


title: Self subscription

text: Received my first issue within a month.  Lots of good articles to keep me healthy.


title: Didn't subscribe to read a lecture by a lawyer

text:
First issue arrived today. After tearing up  8 or 9 insert ads which made it difficult to read the magazine, I sat back to enjoy. First article  was a lecture by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the danger of mercury in fresh water domestic fish. Perfectly safe to fish we are informed (well duh). Just don't eat what you catch. Expectant mothers should be extra careful as babies with high level of mercury have lower IQs. The net is full of peer-reviewed studies from major universities on the subject of mercury poisoning. Why buy a food magazine to read what an activist lawyer has to say about the subject?

Next article was in: "Politics and the Plate". The controversy  here concerns local and season foods. Gourmet asks: "Are those who promote them sincere? Or is it just a come on for gullible diners?"  So who does Gourmet think is "gullible"? The reader? Implication seems to be the reader is too stupid to figure out that yes, vendors might promote locally grown products that aren't all that terrific. Nothing of substance in this article at all.

Going back to the front, an editor of Gourmet recalls how her late father didn't appreciate health food stores (Aren't fathers stupid?).

Three downer articles in a row. I gave up. This isn't the magazine I remember from 20 years ago. Even the format is annoying. It is difficult to know where ads end and articles begin (recall the most junked up website you've seen, that is the Gourmet model)

 If you do enjoy the politics and  the environmental stuff (on either side)  you can do better on the net for free. If you want entertaining, informative articles on food, Gourmet is not the place to look.

Subscribed to Saveur at the same time as Gourmet. It is a pleasure to read.  No annoying ads, no political screeds. Great photographs. Interesting and exotic recipes. As good or better than Gourmet was decades ago.

title: Quite the entertaining magazine ...

text: One of my magazine staples along with Wired, Road and Track, Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone, Business Week, etc.  Fun read and latest movie, tv and book coverage.  A must read for all popular culture fans.


title: young rider training for 100 mile ride

text: the young rider is training for the  Tevis Cup 100 mile ride.  she has finished three 50 mile ride qualifying rides.  her story would be a good article for the magazine.


title: Great magazine for an overview of science.

text: I really enjoy this magazine.  I prefer it to Scientific American, which seemed to be dumbing down its expected reading level with every year.  The articles in "American Scientist" are well written and informative.  (Scientific American does seem to have more articles on modern physics, but since I am a physicist, I don't really need that.)  My only complaint is more of a nit: they seem to be reviewing fewer books now than in the past.


title: Now monthly

text: It is now a monthly magazine, not weekly. Changed to monthly one week after I paid for the year. How do i recoup 40 weeks of payment


title: Just realized I'd been subscribed for 4 years...

text: Yeah, I'm kicking myself over that one too. Only a few issues are shipped per year so I honestly forgot I was even subscribed to this. The majority of the magazine is now ad space and Sky Mall style "here's a review that's actually an ad, even though we don't say that". The small amount still dedicated to articles is decent, but I can get more information and better writing going to most news sites. Wouldn't recommend this magazine anymore, no matter how much I loved it as a child.


title: White Castle Hamburgers NOT!

text:
Well in my opinion they often create dishes that might have a  connection with the original but not the original and are thought of as superior to any existing recipe that people have used with success for years.
Would be nice to have at least one section where they try several existing recipes and actually agree that one or more are fine.
There wording often makes it seem as if they are better than any mom, husband, grandma or anyone seems to have make in the past and all past versions are corrected.  I understand they need to make variations to have a magazine. Most of their recipes are well thought out and are very good and do simplify older recipes with newer steps.
Well, example in the current Cook's Country October/November 2018 issue "Easy Homemade Slider"!
The cook's goal is recreating the perfect White Castle Hamburger that is the epitome of her memory from the real thing. Which of course they think they succeed in the article.
Few items to clarify.
Have eaten many many of them but facts can be easily checked online.
Bun is not 2-1/2" but 2"x2"
There are 18 burger patties per pound so do the math. They are not 2oz like in the recipe but ~.89 oz each.
White Castle uses dehydrated onions and steams the patties on them not pressing raw ones into the patties and frying them.
There is NO sauce on a White Castle hamburger when they finish cooking them. I suppose you can put ketchup on them when you get them if you want to ruin a good thing. They are also topped with pickles.
So maybe "great sliders like you can get at the tavern during happy hour or something" would have made more sense!

title: patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel

text:
Although I'd spend money on I.T.T. rather than Mother Jones or
The Nation, you should still be aware that this periodical DOES
espouse or condone abortion as part of its women's rights issues.
Although women's suffrage is commendable, abortion is decidedly
not PC (nor do children believe in divorce). I had to say this.
That said, DO by all means subscribe to I.T.T. for news and views
which you won't likely get elsewhere (without spending mad hours)
Allow me to recommend a second magazine, this one a free monthly,
entitled "The Philadelphia Trumpet", or The Trumpet, which only
can be had by requesting a printed-copy subscription via e-mail,
snail-mail, or 800 number. Their slant or perspective is not very
holier-than-thou (although your radar will sense a bit), and they
cover current events + future trends with a Biblical perspective.
It's most definitely NOT "stuffy", although some articles aren't
suitable for a reader who has a short attention span or is stoned
at the moment. Their site (Protestant sect or cult) address is
thetrumpet.com They do-NOT attempt to pry money out of you. *****
I quote from the publisher's website RE "In These Times" biweekly
"About In These Times
In These Times is a national, biweekly magazine of news and opinion published in Chicago. For 27 years, In These Times has provided groundbreaking coverage of the labor movement, environment, feminism, grassroots politics, minority communities and the media. In These Times features award-winning investigative reporting about corporate malfeasance and government wrongdoing, insightful analysis of national and international affairs, and sharp cultural criticism about events and ideas that matter."

title: Been better lately, and overall superior

text:
I'll agree with some of the other recent reviewers that some articles have been bad, particularly the last annual double-issue or whatever. But in general I find this magazine to be much more in-depth in relevant ways than comparison publications. Obviously what we expect from a magazine like this is the non-biased, complete picture which allows us to make smart investment and management decisions (particularly the former, for me). I think you'll get that here.

I can't remember off the top of my head too many details, but things like: the number of India's employed who actually work for a company (less than you'd expect!) and why; the capacity of the world to increase oil supply to make up for Libya shocks; the drivers behind the restlessness of the Middle East; the precise estimated impacts of banking regulations or energy regulations; interviews with all sorts of officials; an in-depth look at how private equity works on its companies in the increasingly competitive environment; the best article I've seen yet on the "toxic" Chinese export (fraudulent reverse-takeover stocks RTOs also called reverse-merger stocks) and so on. The last issue discussed taxes in fair detail, including various techniques used by the wealthy to reduce taxes (although I'll admit that some tricks profiled should have been cut). The complaint I might have with the magazine is that it tends to be a bit overwhelming. I simply skipped what looked like an amazing overview of the nuclear power industry because it was just too much information to absorb. Also, the Etc section, which is at the end, can easily be easily skipped.

There are a lot of people complaining that the magazine is left-wing. I'll admit it is not right-wing, but it is surely no more left-wing than The Economist, which slants overtly to the left: endorsed Obama, outspoken in support of climate change mitigation, for example. The Economist is British, home to socialized medicine. The most notable competitor at this point, Forbes, is closely associated with the ideological right. This is the standard bias which you'll get more than enough of in business press in the United States.

The competitor I've mainly experienced is The Economist. The Economist is far too political for someone primarily interested in the financial markets. Plus, it does not indicate its authors and its tone is dry and boring. Otherwise, I get the Wall Street Breakfast, a couple newsletters/commentary on the market, and glance at the WSJ and NYT (plus things like Reddit).
