title: renew sports illustrated magazine

text: I clicked the links to renew my subscription to sports illustrated and now i receive two every week untill my old subscription runs out.  I thought it would just keep going from may first subscription.


title: Nice to have digital

text: The magazine is easy to download and to read.  It is sometimes distracting to have to figure out whether the page turns or has content below the bottom of the page.


title: Great gift.

text: I love the magizine, but you loose a star, I cannot access it on kindle and cannot find support to help me get the on line version.


title: Four Stars

text: Charges quickly and is light enough to have hanging from your phone while charging


title: An excellent science magazine

text: At 64 I've been (heavily) reading science for 39 years. For an interesting journey, and to help get a grip on science, this is a magazine that will help you do just that.


title: Always something new

text: If you enjoy keeping up with science, this is a magazine to read. It is always something interesting and never boring.


title: Second Only...

text:
to the defunct and much missed Armchair Detective magazine. Comparisons aside, Strand is the BEST of a large group that range from glossy to fanzines & newsletters covering the mystery genre. VERY ENJOYABLE!! And don't sell some of them short either!

title: A technical journal of high quality: The 1-star review is of the subscription clearinghouse not the journal or publisher

text: This is a professional / technical journal providing the details of (mostly) road vehicle crash investigations. The journal is of very high quality but is likely to be of interest primarily to transportation engineers, traffic safety professionals, attorneys, and law enforcement investigators. The one-star review listed earlier is a complaint about the magazine subscription clearing house that works with Amazon. This clearing house has nothing to do with the publisher of the journal or the contents of the journal itself.


title: Scam.

text: Only received one issue.  Not worth the time.


title: Got only one magazine.

text: Got one magazine only.  Not worth it.


title: This Old House

text:
I received the magazine last weekend, while I was 'hibernating' in This Old House.

I ended up reading it from cover to cover.  I really enjoyed the pictures that went with the articles.  This inspired me to look around my old house and enjoy it more.

A few less ads would have made it more enjoyable.  thanks, Mona


title: Good Housekeeping Magazine

text: Good Housekeeping Magazine is the best all around women's magazine.  It has something for all ages, great tips on just about everything.  I trust the items with the Good Housekeeping Seal.<br />And I really enjoy reading every issue each month.  So much variety and so helpful.  A jewel among today's magazines.


title: The way records were meant to be heard.

text:
Spin magazine has become a front runner of insightful, entertaining and informative music and entertainment magazines. It has become tight and valid competition with Rolling Stone the original music mag. I always enjoy their reviews, articles, fantastic pictures, interviews and movie news (although I wish it was a bit more thorough).
They have always given strong support to indie bands and one of my favorites Radiohead. Their Best of issues are always the best and their illustrations and cover art are second to none.
I have loved their 40 best albums, 40 best bands, 40 most influential bands issues as well as an article on Saddle Creek records and a Radiohead interview this year.
Spin will continue to be the front running music magazine for years to come I'm sure. And continue to be my personal favorite.


title: Mommy and Daddy bought you a pony? This is for you!

text: I got this magazine a few years ago and flipping through it recently I see not much has changed. Lots of little girls on their pretty ponies in their perfect stables in designer riding gear...Another thing I dislike is, the absence of minorities like myself. Guess what? There ARE such things as Hispanic or African-Amercian riders. This magazine is obviously geared towards all those stuck-up, rich little girls with their own ponies. Why the 2 stars then? Cuz I loved the posters and there was some good information in it and the writers made it easy for younger kids to understand.


Will be getting this in June, but have read it on the newsstands, and LOVE IT!  The 5 dollar price can't be beat.  I am waiting for my first issue!!!


title: great magazine and read every page.

text: I love  this  Magazine and read it  from cover to cover and like every page of it. I would buy this magazine again.


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Love This Magazine

text: I love Coastal Living. This is a less expensive way to subscribe. I also can download it to my iPad.


title: Very educational

text:
I subscribed to WS for a couple years in the late 90s, and loved the magazine. It keeps a balance between reviews of wines both new (which is the main emphasis) and older vintages, and background stories on vintners and so on. The writers are almost all very good (and I'm a professional writer myself) -- only one of them do I dislike and he doesn't review the wines. Both the wine connoisseur and the novice can profit from reading this publication. I only dropped the subscription because I moved and the collection, no issue of which I wished to discard, was occupying more and more space on my bookshelves.

Now I subscribe to the online edition so I can check ratings before I buy a wine. The WS, in addition to Parker and other reviewers, perform an essential service for critical consumers who can't otherwise judge whether a bottle is worth the price asked. And we need WS and Parker and all to tell us when the best reds are ready to drink -- some really great ones are not mature for more than a decade. I drank the highly rated Chateau Canon 1982, for which I'd paid over $100, 17 years after harvest, and my group could tell it wasn't ready -- still closed down. Sure enough, if I had read Spectator carefully, I'd have picked another bottle for that occasion because they said it wasn't yet mature.

Robert Parker has the reputation for being more influential for high-end wines, but Wine Spectator's scores are generally pretty close to his. And they review a broader spectrum, as noted by other commentators below. WS will often steer you to excellent buys for under $15, or even under $10. If you get only one of these per month, or steers you away from a very overpriced bottle, the subscription (about $50) pays for itself.


title: love having both.

text: very nice having digital and print version. i never liked how magazines split up long articles that made you jump to pages in back. and i like seeing the editorials in print.


title: I recently moved back to NJ...

text: I was looking for a magazine that would give me all kinds of cool information on what to do, where to go, etc, but instead this magazine has boring articles and ads about things  that are not even around me!  All over the state, but nothing close to me.  Disappointing....


title: Rodale is dumping old magazines

text: First of all, I enjoy the magazine. My complaint is with the customer service. I received three issues of Best Life - Feb, Mar and April - within the same week. Clearly Rodale is using me as a dumping ground for its old inventory. I called to complain and the company agreed to extend my subscription by one month. The customer service representative did not apologize. I expect better from the companies with which I do business. I will not renew.


title: Great subscription for traveling.

text: I love to read tons on traveling and different cultures and lifestyles around the world. It gives a great scope of maps of the particular place, country, city..with great concepts and pictures to emphasize. A must buy!!


title: My child loves it.

text: My child loves this magazine and wishes she could get it every month.


title: Real life clothes for everyone

text: Readable, pracical, up  to date


title: Hobby Farms

text: Love the magazine. It has lots of good articles that are interesting to me. It helps me have a little country in the city.


title: It's a learning tool!

text: It was a gift and the receiver is so pleased.  She has her 12 yr old daughter pick out a recipe and then they make it together while teaching cooking and kitchen skills.


title: Good crafty projects with easy to follow instructions

text: It has good projects to do and easy directions to follow. Very good magazine.


title: Great Mag

text: Great price for a year.  Like to look at and read some of the stories.  Would buy it next year if they have it at their same low price.


title: i forget i had ordered the magazine

text: i almost, actually, i forget i ordered the magazine because it takes more than a month to arrive. the website did say it take 4-6 weeks to come, so i think i should fairly gives it a 4 stars. the missing 5th star is for: indeed, it's a looong wait.


title: Easy Read

text: A fair balance of recipes, product and eatery reviews with some dabbles into food and wine trends around the globe. I read a lot of heavy intellectual scholastic related stuff, so this is a nice entertaining casual read with great information, nice photos etc.


title: Wanted something a little more technical

text:
I felt that smart money was a little too dumbed down.  I was looking for a personal finance magazine that strongly backed their suggestions with well thought out, detailed, explanations.

I choose Kiplinger's over SmartMoney after reading both for a year.


title: Five Stars

text: This wonderful magazine brought back memories I'd forgotten I had. I am looking forward to the next issue.


title: Superb magazine of ideas

text: "Chronicles" is oen of the very few actual conservative publications in the United States, unlike all those imperialist/establishment publications like "National Review" (which lost whatever conservative credentials it had left when they fired Joe Sobran in the early 90s) and the noxious "Weekly Standard."  "Chronicles" is concerned with culture, with faith, and literature, with politics and society from an American nationalist perspective that is urbane, informed and respectful - no ignorant war-mongering about "freedom fries" and "old Europe" here! It embraces and celebrates our Western cultural roots and our shared sense of place and civilization, without falling into the trap of cheap ethnocentrism. The writing is outstanding - Tom Fleming, Clyde Wilson, Paul Gottfried, the late Sam Francis, and so many others.  It is the best value in terms of price and high quality content in an American magazine of ideas today.


title: Five Stars

text: Good deal!!!!!!


title: Best online purchase I have ever made

text: Love love my magazine, I get so excited


title: Not what I thought! I thought if it says ...

text: Not what I thought! I thought if it says "digital" it was similar to most modern magazines. Well I bought this over a week ago and have yet to have the app on my kindle. I have a ton of magazines and will be asking for my money back. Allure needs to get with modern times.


title: Great value for the print and digital copies of this ...

text: Great value for the print and digital copies of this magazine! I have been a fan of Allure for years and will be a fan for years to come!


title: Five Stars

text: Great price! I love this magazine always have the latest in all beauty products and give great recomendations.


title: Three Stars

text: This item in very good condition,but I have not received all the issues


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine!


title: THE FIRST TIME:

text: This is the first time I had read an ALLURE. It is fine. GREAT PRICE!


title: A NEW MAGAZINE.........

text: It was really a great price. This came a lot quicker than most subscriptions. I've enjoyed my first two issues.


title: My favorite beauty mag!

text: Great for keeping ahead of the masses concerning new and great beauty products. They have fashion stuff in there too, but I have my own style and just kind of skim over those parts. But I love the beauty product reviews, advice and sneak peeks. Good selection of samples tucked in every month.


title: Kindle Allure Subscription

text: This is a HORRIBLE application.  I have other magazines that I receive on my kindle fire, but this app is the WORST. I have tried for months to get the last 2 issues to download and have not been successful.  I will not continue my kindle subscription for this magazine.  They really should fix this app.


title: Love it

text: My favorite magazine.


title: One Star

text: can't figure out how to view digital version.  what a rip. :(


title: Perfect

text: I got my first magazine&tablet issue but now that feb issue is out im not exactly sure how to get that one? Its not specified how but guessing you go too the play sto re again. Either way great&worth the money!


title: 2 Months Behind

text: Ok if you only care about the digital copy. I purchased at the beginning of June and by almost July 1 I finally received the MAY issue. So basically I'm 2 months behind and the point of this magazine is for trends in products and clothes. Kind of hard to enjoy summer trends when it will be fall and so on. The digital copies work fine but don't count on the hard copies.


title: Allure

text: I love this magazine.


title: I actually picked one of the Allure issues up in a store and

text: I couldn't put it down! I was initially looking for a magazine that had fashion, beauty, and awesome articles, but this magazine caught my attention because it's probably one of the best beauty tip mags I've read in awhile. It also has articles that are interesting to read unlike other magazines that predominantly show fashion pictures of stuff I could never afford. I'll definitely be renewing after my 6 month subscription is up!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine! Great value!! Thank you, Amazon!!


title: I like the magazine very much

text: Using an iPad, can't get into Allure all access.  Have not received my Amazon gift card that was part of the order. I  like the magazine very much, but I am disillusioned with this offer and the digital access, of which there is none. Would not do this again.  Too much frustration attempting to get at the digital version.


title: Late to send

text: So far, they have only sent me one issue, which came LATE after the month had already passed. (I got the September issue in October. Really?)


title: Sneaky, lying company

text:
Awful, Awful, Awful company. They charged me 21.99 DURING my current subscription I had ALREADY paid for the All access for  6 months, which they NEVER gave me all the issues they promised within that time; (I was promised 6 issues, I only received 3.)
To top it all off, I had never even authorized this charge, THEY JUST WENT AND DID IT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE.
I'm never going to subscribe again.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine!

text: My granddaughters love this.


title: Whatch who you subscribe to and from

text: I wanted this on my kindle


title: Five Stars

text: No advertising and intelligent writers.


title: Did not receive all products

text: I only received 2 magazines with a 1 year monthly subscription


title: Great magazine

text: I love this magazine and have been a subscriber for many years. I always look forward to receiving it in the mail. Great pictures and stories!


title: Crap

text: Subscription os over a month late! Can't seem to talk to anyone about it! Save your money and go directly through the Thrasher magazine website! Btw order subscription in November!


title: Useless

text: Wired Magazine is a fashion ad mag without substance and nothing cutting edge. You're not going to get any substance about technology. It's a piece of garbage and not worth cluttering up your mailbox with, never mind paying for it.


title: Exceptional Magazine for Book Lovers

text: I received a subscription to Bookmarks years ago from a librarian friend who utilized the magazine when making purchasing decisions. I am an avid reader, and Bookmarks consistently introduces me to excellent works in many genres. I anxiously await the arrival of every issue.


title: how many issues

text: Nice to receive issues sent to the home.  More likely to read them if sent to the home rather than buying them at the store


title: The delivery of this magazine was faster than originally told ...

text: The delivery of this magazine was faster than originally told. As usually Cosmo publishes a magazine that is for women.


title: Beauty and Fashion all in One

text: The magazine came faster than expected and is everything the ad said it would be. Filled with beauty, fashion and much more Marie Claire is a great read for those looking to get up to date fashion and beauty tips.


title: Received  only 1 issue

text: I ONLY RECEIVED  1 ISSUE ,WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN


title: a necessity of life

text: Who in Southern Calif. can live without Sunset magazine?? The garden ideas are great, the menus are classic, and the vacation advice is always great.


title: Nunca llegó

text: Nunca me llego, me robaron el dinero d la suscripcion


title: Great Magazine

text: This is greatest magazine for Nintendo fans.  The articles are well written and are very in depth.


title: One Star

text: So many ads. Superficial, unintelligent articles.


title: Mags

text: My daughter enjoys the articles and the fashions


title: god oh god cancel the subscription

text: The deal is great but be prepared for hell if you dont cancel before the re-up date. I got tagged with a $250.00 bill. Give me a break. Im usually on top of cancellations. This one is a real rip off. I was able to get a refund but I had to contact 3 different people, check in regularly -- and I still sporadically get issues.


title: A steal!!!

text: $5 for a years subscription to one of my favorite magazines. It came in like two weeks. Very pleased.


title: ESPN

text: Great Magazine!  Bought subscription for a Christmas present and received our first issue before Christmas.  You gotta love that.  Thanks Amazon.


title: Disappointing

text: Seems like this publication has gone down hill. Not noteworthy as previous years. Reviews marginal at best.


title: Good magazine

text: Good


title: A Great Gift

text: I bought 2 Taste of Home magazines for our daughters for Christmas.  They thoroughly enjoy the recipes & articles!!  I know they plan to renew when the subscription is up.


title: Great magazine

text: Great magazine with lots of recipes


title: A Must Have for Track Fans

text:
I was inspired to write this because another reviewer gave this magazine a zero rating because he hadn't received his subscription yet. I can understand his frustration, but it has nothing to do with the magazine.

I've subscribed to Track and Field News for years and it is excellent. If you are a fan of the sport I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir as you probably subscribe to it already. I can't imagine someone being a fan and not subscribing to this magazine.

So for me it has it all: Great photography, interesting articles, detailed event reporting, schedules of future events, statistics regarding records and performances.

If you're not a track fan this is not for you; if you are this is a must have.


title: Best food magazine I have seen.

text: My wife is loving it.


title: Young Rider

text: My daughter loves this magazine. I enjoy the articles also. Health, safety, great pictures,  Our horses benefit from the latest  news about the equine world.


title: Country living at it’s best

text: One of my favorite magazines!


title: Enjoy it while it last!!

text: Great magazine,  sad that I moved back at the end of March and wasn't able to change the address, guess someone else will be enjoying it.


title: First for Women

text: This is the best magazine for women of all ages that I have ever read.  It has some wonderful tips and articles, and I love it.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the down to earth format and recipes you would actually cook for your family!


title: SCD not like it used to be.

text: In the old days SCD was a reliable source for prices of all kinds of memorabilia.  Now it is just a trade magazine full of ads (@90%).  Tuff Stuff not available online at least for now which would eventually be a much better source for getting price guides.  Becketts are too expensive and only deal with one sport at a time.


title: Five Stars

text: love teatime magazine.


title: Horrible Customer Service

text: I subscribed to this magazine and did not receive any issues.  When I called customer service I was told that three magazines were sent.  They told me they were having problems with some new orders.  I asked to cancel my subscription and receive a full refund.  They said I already received three issues, which I had not received.  They offered a partial refund and charged me full retail price for the three missing issues.  This company is based in England.  There are much better magazines published in USA.  Avoid dealing with this company.


title: Be Careful

text: I have received 1 magazine! I thought I was purchasing a subscription!


title: Not the magazine it was 20 years ago.

text: Thin. Changed a lot since I was a kid. Low price but not much substance to the publication anymore. It is still fun to read and has some interesting articles.


title: Helpful and Entertaining

text:
I purchased this subscription for my girlfriend (now Fiancée) for the past couple of years.  She loves the magazine.  A little too much in fact, and now that she has a wedding to plan it comes in handy.  The magazine has tons of examples and ideas for ones own wedding plus tips, advice, and even a month by month calendar to help out.  Really a great buy if getting married.

As for Magazines through Amazon, I have no complaints.  I even had to change the address a couple times and it was a one minute process and very easy to do.


title: Food Network Magazine

text: This subscription was HORRIBLE! I only received TWO magazines. I had to bug and bug them for those two. Not worth your time and money to subscribe wit ugh Amazon!!  Go directly to the source!


title: Five Stars

text: Always refer to Consumer Reports for all our major purchases.  Always interesting articles about products that we use everyday.


title: Best Magazine of its Kind

text: I love this magazine. I think it is probably really good even if you don't live in the west. Great garden ideas, good recipes, great travel recommendations. The best thing about it is that most of the articles, whether garden how-to type things, cooking, or ideas for a long weekend, are all very practical...do-able, not terribly expensive. A lot of it is available on-line, but I like having the magazine there in front of me for some reason.


title: Fine travel magazine

text: This is a better than average travel magazine. Good mix of practical type stuff, budget travel ideas, and sort of 'dream trips.' I've read Frommer's Budget Travel in the past, and I like this one somewhat better than that. It is way better than the prestige publications like Travel + Leisure or Conde Nast Traveler, which cater seemingly only to the super rich.


title: Good articles

text: Good magazine for backyard farmers


title: Entirely in Chinese

text: This is a beautiful magazine, packed with 300+ pages of cutting edge home decoration styles.  Too bad it's ENTIRELY in Chinese so I can't read a word of it.  The magazine's site is modernhome.com.hk.  Now you know.


title: Great magazine

text: I love this magazine. I am a vegan and I can always find something new. There is also a lot of advertising which I hate in other magazines, but I love in this one.


title: Five Stars

text: Good magazine for interesting articles, advice and crafts. Thank you.


title: This subscription service is terrible.

text: I love this magazine BUT, I order the continuation of this subscription in January. Today is May 11th, no magazine. 😡🤯🤯


title: diverse info in magazine

text: like the recipe section


title: Interesting Pictures, Poor Quality Construction, sporadic Delivery

text: The pictures were interesting, and really neat, but the magazine itself is poorly constructed and barely held up to one reading from our daughter.  Also delivery was sporadic at best.  It say 6 issues, we recieved more like 4 of them.  It's an expensive subscription.  If you want a fun magazine for babies and toddler try "Babybug" instead.


title: Entertaining but...

text: Our house is right-wing (the adult decision makers are anyways).  That being said this publication has clearly taken a left turn and potrays itself as a bunch of liberals taking gabs at our beliefs and values.  Even so, this is a good tool to get a school age child interested in politics and world happenings.  We will not keep it coming after the intrest is sparked, we will switch to something that better potrays our conservitive ideology.


title: Great magazine

text: The Economist is a great publication! Great insights on the news and the longer term consequences of what is going on now for the future.


title: Five Stars

text: This magazine has great pictures.


title: Great Magazine!

text: Great magazine, the Adirondacks is a short drive from where we live and we are their several times a year! Reading about our favorite destinations or future destinations in this great magazine makes it worth waiting for the mail!

title: Love of Quilting

text: So-I am a subscriber to this magazine. When I signed up for it (back in february), they offered a free gift... (still don't know what that is yet..)  Today I get this free DVD in the mail of patterns and such.  I think 'oh this must be my free gift'... um. no.  If you read the fine print, you have so many days to send it back if you don't want it or you'll be charged 13.95 (a savings of over 40%off the regular subscriber price!)  Not impressed.


title: love YJ but not the auto renewal

text:
The subscription was a gift for a friend. I tried to stop the auto-renewal for 2013 year but the response indicated the current subscription would stop being delivered even though there were two more issues to come.

I would prefer to make the decision to renew a gift or not. The options should be clearer to the user.


title: new, but looks promising

text: thanks for the great info!  we learned a lot.  will share with others over the next years.  thank you for all.


title: Best science magazine available.

text: I got a subscription to Discover magazine as a gift from my wife and it is truly one of the best gifts I ever received.  I rarely read any magazine cover to cover but I have read every article in every Discover magazine I have received so far.  Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys reading about science in a variety of fields.


title: Without a doubt, the best magazine I have ever read!

text: Amazingly in-depth articles.  None of the stupid "makeover your body in 30 days", "look good in your skinny jeans", or extreme exercise and deprivation.  Just high quality, very well-written articles.


title: Impossible to Cancel

text: The magazine itself is mediocre and there are better options, which is why I chose to cancel.  If you attempt to cancel, the magazine makes it incredibly difficult to do so.


title: Enjoy.

text: Excellence is the premiere publication for those who are attracted to the Porsche mystique.  The Porsche Club of America publication called Panorama is the only comparable magazine on the market.  Enjoy.


title: If You Don't Read This Magazine, You Need to Start

text: Moment magazine provides an in-depth and creative take on Jewish news and culture.  With sharp visuals, beautiful lay-out it's a pleasure to read and to peruse.  I like that its articles span political viewpoints and cross the globe in their scope.  Kudos to staff for bringing Moment to a new generation of readers!


title: A Must for World Traveler

text: NG Traveler filters top sites, stories, and photography. I'm an avid traveler: planning and anticipating are half the fun. As Georges Perec puts it, "Peut être le bonheur n'est il que dans les gares".....(while reading NG Traveler).


title: If you write, it's right for you!

text: Love this magazine. I'd give it 5 stars if I could read the Kindle version easily.

title: renewed subscription

text: This is a must have magazine for all who own or are thinking of owning a side by side off road vehicle.


title: Automatically charged for another year. shipped ito the right address and no way to correct it

text: Automatically charged for another year. Didn’t even ship it to the right address and no way to correct it Or stop the shipment going to a random address


title: Excellent publication, theiving fulfillment organization

text:
The publication itself is excellent - a different perspective from that of Time, Newsweek, and others on US and world events and trends and superb analysis and insight.

But for the third time in five years, the subscription organization has terminated my subscription for no reason or taken my renewal money and failed to renew my subscription.  My inquiries result in an automated email response, but no action.  This is nothing short of theft, and there is clearly a pattern of this behavior.


title: Five Stars

text: great product reviews and has ton of cool places to hike. for the price, this info is undervalued!


title: Ebony Magazine

text: This order was just like they said SLOW.  It took a few weeks to get started.  It was a gift, so I really could not send it any other way.  If you are looking for fast results this is not the way to go. But if you person is able to wait, as mine was since he's in the service, then I guess this was ok.


title: Great for piano Students

text: This product was exactly as advertised. Would highly recommend this product. Was exactly what I expected. Great for my piano students.


Saw the magazine at a grocery store, so I decided to try it for a year.  The magazine exceed my expectation - the stories are short enough to make them easy to ready, but they are very informative and entertaining.


title: AWESOME ideas

text: I love this magazine.  I am trying to build my own small online business and this magazine is filled with great tips for beginners like me.


title: Really gone downhill

text: As a fan since the 90s when the magazine was fun, I'm just not impressed with the downhill spiral it's seen. I renewed 3 years ago and I used to love every article. They were fun and informative. What we have here is obviously very few people who love their job anymore. With the exception of some decent reviews and articles it's turned into a snarkfest. I'm not going to be continuing online to read more of their boring opinions.

title: still waiting :(

text: I feel like I have been waiting years for this mag. I have been trying to eat healthy so I thought this would help still hasn't got here.


title: The best sewing magazine

text: I love this magazine, my mom and I have been sewing from it since '87 and she has a library of them by now. I am starting mine this year! I love that it has great patterns for both slim and big women, crafts, kids cloth patterns, recipes, health articles, fashion trends - you name it. Sewing is a pleasure with this magazine. Highly recommend.


title: Monthly paper money collectors guide

text: A great monthly guide for paper money collecting, monthly price guide, monthly market analysis across ALL types of notes by experienced collectors/editors. A great reference for both new & experienced collectors. I prefer the old fashioned paper print version, which you can subscribe from Amazon, and sometimes at a better price than offered by the publisher, hmmm?


title: Two Stars

text: Irregular issues. Rarely gets delivered.


title: They will try to scam you into renewing.

text: I paid for one year of magazines upfront. The magazine itself was ok, not enough to entice me into renewing. Once the subscription was up, the magazines stopped and the renewal offer letters started. I ignored them as I did not want to renew, but like others, they started sending delinquency notices and threatening to put marks on my credit. I am still receiving these notices years after my subscription ended. They are no better than scam artists and it's really pathetic that such a large company would use such tactics. Avoid putting yourself through this as there are better sports magazines out there.

title: Great Magazine for Tech Nerds

text:
MaximumPC is a great magazine for anyone interested in technology and computers.  It mainly focuses on computer building and parts, but also pits company against company, and program against program.  I've also seen reviews for video games and tablets, among others.  They give you help and tips and step-by-step tutorials for computer building, installing software, troubleshooting problems, and more!  It's a great magazine.  I gave it 4 stars because the magazine came in a not-so-great condition, but it was still enjoyable and it wasn't too bad of a blemish.

In conclusion, for those of you who like to build computers, or even get the latest in today's tech, this is the magazine for you!

text: It's been more than a month and i haven't even got October's issue but you sure billed me for it though.


title: 1st issued shipped quickly!

text: Love US weekly! And the very first issue shipped super quickly to me!


title: Issue

text: Love the magazine but only received one issue since February. Hoping someone can reach out to find out what happened with my order.


title: He loved it

text: We gave this subscription to our grandson as part of his 7 year old birthday presents. He loved it especially because he can read it himself.


title: DWELL (gift subscription)

text: this was supposed to have been a gift subscription for a friend.  When I ordered it, I could not change the delivery address to her address, and so ended up ordering a second subscription elsewhere for her receipt.  I am now receiving the first subscription at my address, and it's not at all my thing.  Very disappointed, will not try ordering magazines here again.

title: uninspired

Let me qualify this review by saying that I bought ESPN Magazine because I wanted access to their INsider website, which was similarly priced on its own.

That said, I received my first issue this week....and it had already been on newsstands for a couple of weeks already.  Maybe that will change and I'll receive my next issue very soon, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

The magazine itself lives up to its reputation of being entirely uninspired.  A couple of the stories were moderately interesting, but not in-depth enough to provide any real journalistic value.  The magazine attempts to cover the entire sports scene in the US (and abroad too), which is a rather lofty goal that ends up watering down some of their coverage.  My interest is really only in a handful of sports, so I don't like that, but I can see why others would.


title: Best magazine ever!

text: Love this magazine! It gives me so many ideas and useful tips. I just wish I had the time to do even a small percentage of them. But the magazine is there to go back to when I do have the time.


title: Four Stars

text: Best price and service. Thanks!


title: Three Stars

text: Fair


title: Took Forever

text: Bought the subscription in May 2010.  Did not receive my first issue until late August 2010.  I can't imagine that processing and shipping should take that long.  Granted, I got a year subscription for $5 so I shouldn't complain too much.


title: Absolutely Terrible

text: only received half of my subscription


title: BEST MAGAZINE EVER!

text: This magazine is amazing! It has soooooooo much horse stuff to learn and it can be for ages 11 and up. I got this magazine subscription through another site, but the magazine is overall an amazing magazine! The content inside is wonderful! I loved getting to learn more about horses! I love how it comes once a month :) I LOVE THESE SO MUCH AND I DEFINETELY RECOMMEND GETTING THEM!


title: Excellent magazine, best purchased at the newsstand.

text:
Tough to decide how many stars to give Photo France; the magazine itself is exceptional: think of "American Photo" but more freewheeling in every way. Clearly 5/5. But my review here reflects the experience of purchasing a subscription from Amazon.

I should have read the previous reviews before subscribing; I have yet to receive a single issue of this beautiful magazine, even though the vendor claims to have mailed out at least two issues. It's hard to know who to blame: the publisher, Amazon, the distributor, or the postman.

If you're lucky enough to live near a good newsstand, save yourself the headache and just buy it in person. Spend your time enjoying the great photography instead of tracking down undelivered issues.


title: Five Stars

text: He likes it and that is all that counts


i got this subscription for my son for Christmas,  he is a very intellectual  person and really into science.. Well , I asked him if he liked the magazine or was it a waste of time .  His response was that it has good articles and that is wasn't a waste of my money getting this..


title: Missed Issues

text: I have always loved Reader's Digest but have not received all of the issues that I paid for.  This is unacceptable.  I canceled my subscription.


title: Like

text: Very useful and interesting publication.


title: *very* disappointed in this magazine and  BSA

text: This is my 9 yos first year of Cub Scouts (Webelos), and we were all very excited for this new opportunity.  I went ahead and ordered Boys Life when I registered my son for scouts, looking forward to a monthly magazine that would reinforce the Scout values. I am very, very disappointed.  The amount of advertising is disturbing.  It seems that for every 1-2 pages of content there is an equal (if not more) amount of advertising.  The few articles that I've read have been interesting, but not at the expense of over-exposure to pop culture and media.  Shame on you, BSA, for failing to reinforce the values that your organization promotes during den and pack meetings.  One look at this magazine, and the values I see promoted are consumerism and video gaming.  This will be the last year that I waste $24 on this magazine.


title: Only receive ever 2 months

text: When I purchased this it said a one year subscription, but it didn't mention that it is only 6 issues. They only send one ever 2 months. Very disappointing.


title: I love this mag

text: I love this mag. If you own a diesel truck, any year, this is a must read. I love to check out the readers trucks. I also like the way that they don't always concentrate on newer $100,000.00 trucks that most of us really can't afford. As long as they keep up the articles on the older diesels, from the 1980's to 2010, I'm good with it. I own a 2008 Super Duty and would like to see more reads about 6.4's. Thanks, Tom


title: Five Stars

text: Great for craft ideas and instruction.


title: Read my stuff.

text: i write in every issue of this magazine so at least one article is good!


title: Worth the money

text: Have only received two issues and have already learned so much.  I'm very glad I subscribed to Family Tree.


title: Picked only one from all the others.

text: I quit subscribing to all fashion magazines.  The models are emaciated and look like freaks.  Our society is sick.  Women are not supposed to be angular, they are naturally rounded; These magazines include Vogue, W, Elle, Cosmo.  I keep Vanity Fair around for the articles.  Well written ones on politics, art, business, and life in general. Loved the stories on Eli Broad, Rupert Murdoch, George Bush, the Obamas, Clintons, White House strategies, Karl Rove, and wasn't there one on Brooke Astor? Takes a long time to read one issue.  Kiss Kiss!

title: No thanks

text: Not for me


title: Best Magazine for Moms

text: Parenting Magazine is the best magazine out there for moms and dads. My husband laughs at me all the time becuase I am always telling him the new stuff I read and how I want to use it in our lives. It makes facing some of our challanges as parents a little easier.


title: Nice Gift

text: Nice gift for our grandchildren. Good, thought-provoking material for this 10+ age group. Hopefully give the kids something more that staring at a electronic device...


title: Great Gift

text: Got subscription for grandchildren. They seem to like it and appreciate the variety therein.


title: Travel

text: National Geographic has some of the coolest articles and photos. They always have something interesting in each one.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Production for the Lovers


title: Watercolor Artist Magazine

text: Excellent resource for watercolor artists.  Most art magazines seem to devote most of their articles to oils or acrylics.  To me well worth the price and content.


title: No magazine yet!

text: I can not evaluate magazine because I have yet to receive a single issue.


title: nice  magazine

text: Son-in-law enjoys reading....beat the lowest price I could find by $10.00....still waiting to start delivery....hopefully any day now.


title: it"\'\\s montjly mow

text: new format totally worthless


title: The Perfect Gift

text: National Geographic History is the perfect gift for someone who loves to read and has everything.  Every issue is unique.  Every issue is collectible.  The pleasure from this gift lasts throughout the entire subscription.[[ASIN:B01F2MKW0I National Geographic History]]


title: LOVE IT!

text: I love this magazine and so does everyone I purchase it for. The price is awesome and every magazine has a recipe I have tried and thought was excellent. I highly recommend!


title: A long time

text: 65 and still subscribing and reading rolling stone. Love Matt Tiabbi and keeping in tune! Keep up the excellent coverage!


title: Cheap, educational

text: My kiddo loves it


title: What othere have said This Publication

text: As a member of Crappie. Com of Louisiana this magazine has featured articles on several of my friends..  Over the last few years there have been Praises because the Articles are first rate Journalisim and covers everything


title: Wired is for the new adopter

text: I enjoy Wired for the news, reviews, and updates regarding technology.  I'm retired and no longer have the daily interaction and discussions about new technology that I'd had in the workplace.  Wired helps to fill in the gaps.  Some of the writers try too hard to be clever and don't quite have the intelligence needed for the job.  This is a very liberal publication so anyone with a wide range of life experiences will find some of their leftist diatribes based too much on emotions and ignorance.  It is better at opinion than at science or fact. That aside... it is a great magazine.


title: One Star

text: don't know what went wrong as I love this magazine but have never received even 1 issue

title: Best One

text: I really love this magazine. If I could only pick one food magazine it would be this. I actually get them all. The best !


Gift for my dad. He likes it better than popular mechanics


title: Cannot access product.  Beware of Meredith Publishing magazines

text: Never received the product.  I used the report a problem link and the publisher says I ordered a digital edition, which I did not.  I tried accessing a digital edition, but can’t figure out how.  It does not show up in Kindle.  Beware of Meredith published magazines.  They also just stopped printing Money magazine — another of my subscriptions down the drain with no option given for a refund.


title: Four Stars

text: Lots of cool information!


title: Five Stars

text: thanks


title: No Magazine yet!

text: Haven"t received this one either!! Still waiting for this magazine also. Can"T WAIT FOR THE NEW ISSUE. Love Food Network


title: Auto-renew Magazine

text: Haven"t received yet. Had to buy in store! Waiting for it to come to my home, then I can comment.


title: Read an issue and judge for yourself...

text:
Many of these reviews seem like the definition of judging a "book" by its cover. First of all, please stop comparing Girls' Life to Boys' Life --- they are not by the same publisher. Boys' Life is a publication put out by the Boy Scouts of America; that's why it's all about wilderness exploration and science stuff. Secondly, Girls' Life, while it does contain articles about makeup and crushes, also contains DIY projects and articles about health, fitness, and academic concerns. As for the former, please let's not fool ourselves... your 12 or 13 year old daughter has certainly noticed boys by now! Please do not stick your head in the sand! Also, it is OKAY for girls to enjoy the stereotypical "girly" things too, like fashion and hair! Feminism is supposed to be about a girl's right to be interested in anything she wants. That means not shaming girls who might like to be girly! Not every girl is into STEM --- luckily Girls' Life has a little bit in there for girls with all types of interests.

While flipping through an issue of this magazine in the bookstore, I saw articles about bargain hunting when shopping, advice columns that basically educated and empowered girls about saying no in situations of sexual assault, setting goals, practicing healthy habits, how to deal with bullying, and more. As someone who works in the schools, I can tell you that these are things our middle school girls are dealing with.


title: Four Stars

text: Great magazine!


title: Worth a Subscription

text: Bazaar is a fashion mag worth the subscription. Some of the other fashion mags are hit and miss or are only good for the March or September issues. Bazaar on the other hand, each month is always worth more than one look.


title: Still the best but not as good as it used to be.

text: Although not as good as it used to be; Backpacker is still the best magazine around for those of us who like to "get out there".  Good advice and equipment reviews. Occasionally nice articles on destinations.<br /> Complaints are that the magazine seems "hung up" on survival articles and info. Also, I miss the good, long, introspective articles they used to have periodically on what it's like to be "out there" and how it changes you.


title: Great Magazine

text: The magazine is great, but my understanding was that the renewal was to be coordinated with my existing subscription.  Apparently this didn't happen; now I'm getting two great magazines.


title: Terrific! Made 3 recipes from 1st issue!

text: Received the first issue, featuring summer recipes. Already made 3 items that each came out delicious! I'm so happy I subscribed for only $5. I can't wait for future issues and the wonderfully recipes I imagine they'll contain!


title: Not a high quality material

text: My husband loves to hunt but did not engage in this very much. I found the pages to be very thin.


title: Love this magazine....but have only received 1 issue in over a year.

text: Great magazine. Not so good seller.


title: Good magazine

text: Love the magazine!!


title: Great information.

text: Fun. Informative and a must have for all those wishing to complete DYI projects.


title: Geared toward young bohemian style.

text: Not a good choice for me. More for young people, bohemian style, modern, mid-century style.


title: Good

text: The book looks very good. My child likes it very much


title: Very informative

text: Loved it


title: Not what I expected

text: Do It Yourself is more of a book for crafting.  I was expecting more DIY projects like home renovation projects.


title: Beware!!! They keep billing even when you cancel!

text: only received one of the magazine and it was extremely thin and the content was not impressive. I cancelled my membership and never received another magazine but they keep billing me every few months. I've called, I've emailed, but they still keep billing me. I was told it was cancelled and the auto renewal was off but I keep getting billed.


title: Time Magazine

text: Good magazine for easy reading of weekly news summary.  Covers a variety of subjects with indepth articles on the week's most important events.


title: Excellent Articles

text: I have always enjoyed Vanity Fair for it's good writing and interesting articles.  After years of having too much to do and not enough time to read, I stopped my subscription and just renewed last month (Jan '09).  I now know more about Fannie, Freddie and the Bush Adm. than Am. History would have ever taught me.  It's good to have VF back!


title: Great magazine

text: Lots of great home ideas


title: Forced to order again

text: Did not want it after my Prescription ran out and didn’t want it anymore and was forced to get it again don’t want it anymore so don’t try it again


title: Great

text: Really good ideas and projects.


title: Very misleading name

text: This magazine isn't worth paying for. I can't believe I was so hoodwinked to subscribe to this magazine when I could have seen everything on the internet that touches this subject. The subject matter is about personally making small crafts and projects around the house and has absolutely nothing to do with self stimulation or masturbation like the title implies. A total rip-off, what is this world coming to?


title: Not ordered

text: Didn't like this item because I didn't order yet theykeep billing/sending.


title: Awesome publisher!

text: Yummy recipes!<br />Awesome publisher!


title: Love it..

text: Great magazine!<br />Just bought my own house and have found some awesome tips!


title: I disappointed.

text: I pay for one year and I just receive one magazine. I disappointed.


title: First issue

text: I am a mazagine-aholic.  I got my first issue and it was great.  It took me a while to get thru it which I see as a plus.  Nice visuals,  interesting and projects were realistic.  I'm excited for future issues.


title: Great Mag!

text: Love! Love! Love this Magazine!  Im usually not a magazine person but really do like this one.  Alot of great ideas for the house.


title: Not a useful magazine

text: They magazine should be called “Buy it Yourself.” Disappointing.


title: I want to cancel.

text: I am not seeing an option to cancel this subscription.


title: love it

text: I get so much idea from this magazine. I recently went to a flea market and saw a dresser and redid it into a desk!!! I wouldnt had looked at that dresser any other time!!! Love it!!!


title: Not useful

text: Really useless


title: Only got one book

text: I only got one, where did the others go?


title: JUST AN AVERAGE MAGAZINE

text: I am a DYI  person....a "Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none" kind of DIY person.  I found that this magazine is just average for the regular DIY person.  Maybe it's better for a beginner or intermediate DIY person....but not my type of print material.  I did go online to find a pattern for a specific Christmas ornament, and then I got slammed with emails and emails of crafts and ideas and such....again, for someone else, not me.  [Just BEWARE of getting online with the magazine!]  I will not be renewing the magazine after the year subscription, and I will need to pay attention to the renewal time, or it may catch me off-guard.


title: 1000% worth it!!

text: LOVE this magazine!! Especially having the printed version so I can actually hold it in my hands, makes notes on it &/or highlight things, if I want, & I can actually take out whole pages or just tiny pictures. I wish I could get into digital copies but it's NO WHERE, even remotely, close to being as convenient or comfortable reading & referencing back to as a physical copy of the magazine, especially since it's a DIY magazine.


title: Great ideas for all levels

text: Really like the clear instructions and the color pictures.  So many nice ideas.


title: magazin worth reading

text: Who likes to do things by himself and is looking for great affordable ideas, need to read this magazin


title: Great idea, and easy to follow directions.

text: Love the articles.


title: Decorative do it ur self

text: More a decorative mag not a handyman mag


title: Make sure you plan out what you want the finished product to look 👀 like!!

text: I love do yourself books. This is a great one.


title: Not as manu ideas as I thought it would have.

text: Just looking for ideas.

title: DIY

text: Has some very good information on home DIY projects


title: Very disappointing! Not what most consider "DIY".

text:
With a magazine called "Do It Yourself", I was expecting some great DIY project tutorials and ideas.  Basically, something like "Family Handyman", but with a broader range of topics and geared more towards your average person.  After all, when most people think "DIY", they think about building, modifying, or repairing things without the experience or assistance of a professional.  I figured this magazine would be all about building, repairing, and generally creating things.

Turns out, I was very, very wrong.

This magazine should have been titled "Interior Design Ideas".  Or, maybe, "The Interior Design Pinterest Blog", since most of the stuff in each issue feels like it'd be more at home on Pinterest or a Blog than in a DIY magazine.  At least half of each issue seems focused almost entirely on interior design, and not in a project or DIY oriented sort of way.  It isn't showing you cool interior design projects that you can build or create yourself, it's showcasing how someone redesigned a room or house (stretching the DIY concept, since many of them seem to be involved with design or flipping houses or similar things).

Additionally, a lot of the ideas where the magazine actually focuses on making something, it is often a crafting idea.  Don't get me wrong, I love creative crafting, and I even consider that to be among the highlights of an otherwise very disappointing magazine.  However, even there, I consider craft work to be different from DIY projects.  I'd appreciate the articles in a crafting magazine, but find them out of place in a DIY magazine.

If you're actually interested in making, building, and creating things, I'd hard pass on this magazine.  It averages about 2-3 useful pages per issue.  If you prefer looking at Pinterest and never actually building or making anything, then this magazine might be for you.


title: Only received 1 magazine

text: I love this magazine.  Unfortunately I have only received 1 magazine.  Very disappointing and waste of money.


title: Will order it again

text: Great ideas


title: Not for me

text: Wasn’t for me.


title: Informative

text: Good read


title: DELAY!

text: Ordered May 24th, 2020 still haven't received. I bought Birds and Bloom, Better Homes and Gardens, Food &Wine, Living, Beautiful House all during the same time and received first magazines back in July. So what is the hold up with this magazine?


title: Great magazine

text: Lots of diy ideas!


title: cancel

text: I want to cancel..it's vary hard to do<br />Please cancel now...


title: Subscription starts with past issue

text: Just recieved my first outaded copy today (March 2020). It has a Display until January 2020 date on it. This would not be too big of a deal if I hadn't already purchased the same issue back in October 2019! It is a quarterly magazine so I guess I will only get three "new" issues. I expected my subscription to start with the next new issue, not to be backdated with the past issue.


title: DIY crafts

text: More like Martha Stewart than Family Handyman


title: Country Living on a Budget

text: Wow! This magazine came rather quickly and for an excellent price! Thanks Amazon! I used to read the magazine years ago and stopped when I felt that it no longer connected with a younger audience. But the new editor the last few years, Sarah Gray Miller has really turned it around. She lends the magazine a younger voice. The magazine focuses on modern country decorating, eating, green living, and budget ideas. Sarah was the editor of my old favorite magazine Budget Living. It is so nice to hear her voice again! I highly recommend this magazine no matter what your age as long as you are interested in learning how to live well and simply-that is modern country living in my book!!


title: My Favorite Motorcycle Publication

text: I'm a practical rider, daily commuting in New England about 9 months of the year.  I've taken trips touching the Atlantic, then Arctic, then Pacific Oceans, ride off-road trails, and paved track days.  I say this to explain: I love all sorts of riding, in any weather, anytime.  Motorcycle Consumer News is my favorite motorcycle publication, featuring honest reviews on rides, gear and products, as well as helpful and insightful articles on skill development, safety, legal issues, and the love of riding.  I sometimes subscribe to and frequently borrow some of the glossy commercial magazines, which also contain some great writing on motorcycling, but MCN is the one I'll always renew.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: prompt renewal of my subscription


title: a classic

text: perfect gift for the elderly mother who has ecerything


title: Colorful and lovely

text: Love the colorful ideas in the magazine. Its worth the subscription.


title: penthouse letters

text: allright excetp wait and it to start and then get 3 monthly magazines in a week


title: Love the magazine - where's the tote?

text: Love the magazine & being able to read it on my I Pad, but where's my free tote???  Send me my tote & the rating goes up to 5 stars!


title: simply the best

text: The best quilting magazine yet, inspiring, extremely creative, fantastic photos and instructional


title: Eye candy, but no substance

text: Veranda magazine contains stunning photography of homes and gardens.  If you enjoy browsing through pictures for decorating ideas, this is a great magazine to dream on.  However, great photography is about the only thing this magazine has to offer.  Veranda is probably 75% advertisements (gorgeous advertisements, but ads nonetheless), and the few articles it contains are usually shallow and provide dull reading.  For those of use who aren't millionaires, most of the products the magazine advertises are impractical luxuries.


title: Not worth it

text: I have enjoyed reading Romantic Homes for many years, but lately the style of the magazine has changed.  Once you could count on every issue for romantic, whimsical, and lovely decorating and gardening ideas.  The 2007 issues, however, have a very muddled style - some articles/photo spreads are starkly modern, or downright pretentious.  The Romantic Homes company itself has TERRIBLE customer service.  The customer service representatives I've spoken to on the phone barely speak English, and are unable to perform simple tasks like an address change.  Letters written to the customer service department receive no response at all.  Romantic Homes is definitely not worth my money anymore.


title: same old stuff

text: I enjoy this mag. Every month features inspirational weight loss stories and amazing new breakthrough supplements. The first half of the magazine is about why we're fat, stressed and sluggish; the second half features desserts with recipes and huge pictures of food.


title: It's really good.

text: My daughter likes it a lot.  Great for mass and discussion.  It has fun activities in the back.  We will continue our subscription.


title: Great Buy!

text: Ordered for my father he loves it!


title: Garbage Magazine

text: UnAmerican liberal trash!


title: Love this magazine!

text: I love this magazine.  The only magazine that I have ever, and always, read cover to cover.  More than just recipes, you learn about other cultures, people in other countries, with beautiful photos.  In my opinion, this magazine is a true celebration of food and culture.


title: timely and fun!

text: I ordered Vogue on Amazon and in less than a month I started receiving the fashion-ey goodness, including a 800 page issue-thing that could seriously do some damage to one's head if hit with it. Excellent mag for those who love fashion and Amazon got it here on the fly. Bravo.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine reminds me of home.


title: No clutch No problem

text: One star because I did not receive a clutch as pictured but two stars because the awesome little beach bag type tote with a leather vogue tag is awesome and I can fit three magazines in it and my kindle and headphones. I love it.


title: One Star

text: A self-absorbed, narcissistic rag!


title: Cricket continues to deliver quality

text:
The Fong family is now a multi-generation Cricket household. I loved it as a kid and now my daughters (ages 7, 5 & 2) are enjoying every issue as well. Cricket wins on many levels. As a parent the stories, poems, games and cartoons deliver good, wholesome entertainment you won't mind reading to your kids again, and again, and again.... We save every issue and re-read our favorites regularly.
The different age level magazines Carus offers (Cricket, Spider, Ladybug and Babybug) make them great "independent reading" material as well.
Finally, I don't know of a single kid who isn't thrilled to receive real "snail mail" once a month!


title: Country living.

text: This magazine is getting smaller and smaller. Enjoy it but will not pay a lot to see it.


Still reading, mainly just interviews of various people in the beekeeping community. I wish it had more reviews of equipment and bees. I'm hoping it's just a slow month and the next one will be better.


I initially subscribed to Veranda for ONE YEAR.  It automatically renewed (without authorization) at the end of the year.  BUT, even worse, Veranda has provided my personal information to Subco, a magazine clearinghouse and fulfillment center and now I am getting authorized magazines and automatic payments against my credit card.  Beware!!!


title: Beware - slow delivery equals old news

text: I enjoyed this magazine immensely for a year - but for the past month, rather than receiving the issue on Saturday or Monday, it arrives on Tuesday or Wednesday. Customer service does not consider this a problem (somehow erroneously believing the week starts on Tuesday?), and swear they have done nothing differently, although they say they drop off the magazines at the post office "Friday OR Saturday" for delivery "Monday OR Tuesday". I understand the need for a tight schedule, but the OR is unforgivable for a weekly. Friday delivery to the post office would ensure I would get the magazine by Monday, latest, and the news would not be stale as 3 day old fish - not to mention that many of the featured, like TV picks, start on Monday.<br />AVOID THIS MAGAZINE - SERVICE IS GOING DOWNHILL FAST.


title: Maxim for mature people

text: I move from Maxim to Details because Maxim is targeting 14 - 17 old boys and every issue is comming more and more immature.


title: Five Stars

text: Always a great read!


title: Going to Stop Publishing

text: Good magazine, but September will be the last issue they publish.  My wife, the financial person in our house, enjoyed reading it.  Too bad.


title: No idea about this product.

text: Didn’t even know I had this. I have not seen one in many months. It is a fact that I have lived in different states but had no idea this was to have come to me.


title: A wonderful source

text: Yoga Journal is definitely the "go to" magazine for all levels of yoga practitioners.  In fact, even if you are merely curious about yoga and what benefits it can provide this is the source you need.  It is always helpful with the down to earth honesty of start where you are.  The auto-renewal is great I enjoy the convenience of not having to renew annually and receiving those pesky notices that come with any magazine subscription.  You know those mailings you receive months before your expiration date and after you have sent in your payment.


title: Maybe if it showed up

text: Waited months for the magazines to start arriving, never did. Submitted a refund request to Amazon and they took care of it, no problem.


title: Good

text: Good


title: Leftist rag

text: It is now a leftist rag but to be expected. I turned off auto renewal and that was my fault for not doing it earlier, although it was a bit truck to do so.


title: This was a gift but the mother of the girl ...

text: This was a gift but the mother of the girl I sent it to was concerned about the content, given she was naïve.


title: Five Stars

text: very good for people with old cars


title: Good information!

text: I like that this magazine gives tutorials on how to use certain cameras as well as compare different models and brands of cameras.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the reviews and articles, great way to make sure I don't miss a good book.


title: Still a fun monthly treat

text: Not the absolute treasure it was in its heyday, but still an excellent dose of puzzles, game reviews, and articles. The variety gives us something for everyone.


title: Good gift.

text: Was bought on sale for a Christmas gift, and the mag's contain enough varied sport information to make anyone happy.


title: Sweet price/ Long wait/ WORTH IT!

text: Love the magazine subscription and got it for a super sweet price! Just wish they didnt take so long to send them in the mail! Waited 6 weeks! But worth it for the price and entertainment value!


title: Great For Morale

text: This is a great magazine for those who like to remember 'the good old days". .I lost 2 daughters within 2 weeks of each one. The last died of a broken heart for her sister who passed unexpectedly. The magazine took me to another time of my life.


title: Knowledge Edge

text: Covers important things which other media often miss, thereby often giving a knowledge edge.


title: Great way to learn to cook

text: Let me start by saying that I love this magazine. The recipes are easy to follow and 99% of the time taste great! I decided to buy a subscription to this magazine to learn how to cook, since I thought it would be better to know how to cook healthy, lowfat foods. Since I started, I have developed lots of skills and I will even try some more difficult items, all because cooking light makes it easy to follow and the recipes turn out great.

text: Always liked F&S.  Don't know why I let my previous subscription expire.  My adult son made me re-subscribe and I am glad I did.


title: Five Stars

text: Best price that i could find December 2014.


title: Love it!

text: I love this news magazine with a Christian perspective!


title: Five Stars

text: Extended my existing subscription with this offer. Absolutely fabulous deal.


title: Five Stars

text: I like the magazine and I like it on my tablet when I have the time and the mood.


title: Great Savings!

text: I would not have thought originally about Amazon providing such a great savings on such a popular magazine.  I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas and with all of the sales I tried to catch for clothing and other things, this was an added bonus of savings by ordering through Amazon.  Vogue is a great magazine for the latest fashion!


title: can't review it if I have to wait 3 months to get it

text: It is a great pricefor an annual magazine subscription.  The only problem is that it takes 3 months to get the first issue. I'll miss all of the new releases. By that time, I might be questioning if I should have stayed with Car and Driver.  I am also not crazy about the auto renewal.  I am aware that I can change this but hope I don't forget.


title: Stop charging me

text: Stop charging me


title: Canceled subscription

text: Don't like new format and new price. After being a subscriber for over 50 years i have cancelled my subscription.


title: Good mahazine

text: More my style


title: It happy

text: Just okay I would not get this magazine again either


title: Doesn’t provide information on new cars

text: I don’t like this magazine and wish I could discontinue receiving it


title: no like it

text: i did order this magazine in january 25 today is march 3 and not a single one and it says that i am gonna get my first mag in april 13 this is just not right and those guys just send me a letter saying that i can pay only 7 more dollars for another whole year wow  i am canceling the order right now.


title: Confused

text: I’m confused about why I’m getting emails electronically. When I wanted the printed magazine. When will I start getting printed copy.


title: Good automotive magazine with a fresh format

text: I like the format of the magazine and the writing.


title: too much track

text: i subscribed after a long hiatus.  pro: there is still some decent writing. con: it is even more tilted to the unaffordable exotics and track racing than before.  they used to have several very informative road test results per issue.  now these are mostly gone.  the greater focus on hard core enthusiasts is understandable, given the overall decline of print media. however, us more ordinary folks have little reason to subscribe.


title: Best thing I could give my dad.

text: I've always loved Road and Track, but my dad has always been the car-enthusiast of the family. I have had this magazine on Auto-renew for 3 years now, because of its quality and how affordable it is! It's really neat to be able to provide him with this with absolutely no effort and be able to still give him something he loves!

title: How can I rate it if it never shows up?

text:
I would love to rate this magazine...or rather, my boyfriend would, but we can't very well rate things that never show up in our mail, can we? Very frustrated.

UPDATE:::

after it started coming in the mail, it was great! Thanks :) Four stars because it takes so long to start showing up.


title: I love it!!! So much more than just a car magazine...

text: I found myself actually looking for it in the mail. I would devour each page and article while enjoying my alone time.


title: Best car magazine around

text: They have the best photos, varied content and aren’t constantly just talking crap about how a $25k Hyundai Interior doesn’t compare to a Lamborghini like some other grumpy old man magazines.

text: Nice magazine for a good price


title: Good Choice for Young Girls

text:
I am happy that there is a good magazine out there for young girls like my 8 year old sister. She loves this magazine, for the fun stories and games and all the cool ideas. I am just glad that she still wants to be a kid and isnt in a hurry to grow up. So many girls get sucked into the insane world of spending a lot of money on latest fashions, obsessing over you hair not being perfect every single second, covering your face in make up that you wont need for another 10 years, and of course, constantly worrying about boys. Little kids deserve to be little kids. And I thank AG for trying to preserve childhood for its young readers.

P.S. The reason for the 4 stars is that AG could be just a little longer.


title: Mostly ads.

text: I just received the print edition for January and it is literally 39 pages out of 88 of ads. Yes, I counted. And a good portion of the other articles are advertising something. I will definitely not be renewing my subscription and would not recommend it to anyone else.


title: Subscription

text: When is my subscription finished I do not want to renew.<br />Too many advertisements.


title: Black Women

text: Great informative articles geared toward Black women.


title: but this is the best deal I have found

text: I have been getting this magazine for years, but this is the best deal I have found.  I like finding out what's going on in entertainment, music and books and this is the best magazine for keeping current.


title: Readers Digest great magazine

text: Grew up with Readers Digest (Spanish and English version)  Enjoy the variety!


title: Great buy!!!

text: I am loving this magazine!! This is my first year homeschooling and I have found lots of good info in this magazine!! Very helpful!!


title: I love this magazine

text: The articles are insightful and the photos are colorful and breathtaking!  I love this magazine.


title: Muse rocks!

text: My son loves this magazine. It is jam-packed with fun information. Very well written and a good read. Lots of science and general knowledge. Good for girls and boys who like STEM activities and information.


title: I was robbed

text: I bought a subscription for one year and was billed and paid but got less than 6 months of the weekly magazine I feel I was taken advantage!!!!


title: A luxury getaway magazine

text: If you're looking mostly for affordable coastal decorating ideas, this is probably not the magazine for you. Five years ago (or more), the magazine content was different - it had fun, affordable coastal decorating ideas. If you're subscribing based on familiarity with the magazine from a while back, you may be disappointed. I gave it 5 stars because it does deliver on what it says it has - luxury coastal getaways/vacation/resort areas. I ended up canceling my subscription after about 8 issues, but it was no fault of theirs; just my incorrect assumption that the content hadn't changed.


title: Three Stars

text: meh


title: Great magazine to read

text: Classy and sophisticated. Love the jewelry and reading about influential people. Always love to read and see the wedding pictures


title: Husband enjoyed this magazine,

text: My husband loves cars, especially antiques.  He can't afford to buy all the ones he wants so the next best thing is to read about them.


title: Glad I found this magazine

text:
A good magazine for gardeners new to the state of Fl. Lots of tips and advice for the novice.

a


title: Excellent publication about alpacas

text:
This magazine is a must for any alpaca owner, would be alpaca owner, or one who is just learning about these beautiful animals.
It is beautifully done, showing pictures of alpacas,advertisements for alpaca farms, as well as very well-written articles.
The articles are timely and of great interest and learning tools for alpaca owners.


I love IRR.  The reviews are clearly written and details, the comparisons with competing versions extensive and the level of expertise high.  I have become disillusioned with Gramophone as their reviews have become increasingly sound-bite driven, their comparisons less extensive and their ongoing biases (Schwarzkopf, Bostridge and von Karajan clearly incapable of every producing a poor recording, for example) more blatant.  IRR is now my go-to publication.


title: Three Stars

text: Zero stars as I have not recieved my first issue


title: Two Stars

text: Zero stars as I've yet to recieve my first issue


title: Town and Country

text: the Magazine has slimmed down in recent years and i wish it was the big fat tome of old..  Yet it continues to  be of interest.  I love the way the children and grandhildren or the mainline are feathered.


title: InStyle

text: The magazine seemed to be the abreviated version. Usually the magazine is quite large.  Otherwise it was more than satisfactory.


title: Ranger Rick

text: A little thin from what I remember.


title: Good magazine, easy to renew, too

text: I enjoy this magazine and Amazon makes it easy to subscribe and to renew each year. The best of both worlds.


title: Easy Peasie

text: The automatic renewal is wonderful. I like the reminder that it's coming up in the event I want to opt out and, as with any purchase, I can change CCs if needed. I like not having to remember when the expiration date is or constantly get renewal notices in the mail.


title: too many recipes not enough info/stories

text: I guess I expected more from this mag which I have bought at the check out before. While the recipes might be wonderful there really wasn't much more to this issue hopefully the future ones give me more. Home ideas a short story etc etc. We'll see.


title: love it

text: great magazine, great price! Auto review works well. Best price I could get to renew this magazine. Will use again


title: Love the satire

text: Have read Mad for years.  Love the satire


title: love it

text: love it


title: I need a solution

text: I purchased the magazine on december 24 and I didn't get any issue yet, what can I do about it?


title: The print is too small

text: This magazine is not as interesting as I had hoped, but my greatest complaint is that the fonts are very hard to read.


title: The print is too small!!

text: I love the content, but they keep using tiny fonts, often over complicated backgrounds.  I thought that the problem was my poor eyesight, but after cataract surgery, I can say with confidence that the problem lies with the magazine.  At some point, the inconvenience will outweigh the value of the content and I will discontinue my subscription.


title: I sure do not remember ever ordering/downloading this

text: Keeps asking me for a review & shows on my stuff but I sure do not ever remember anything for this! I'm sure it's informational as it looks to be from the cover lol.


title: Not what it used to be...

text: Nothing about fitness anymore....really disappointed. Only articles related to skincare and advertisements


title: Makes ya feel like a better person

text: This magazine is full of good information! It is uplifting and it only makes you want to be a good person, which we all know that the world can never get enough of.  I highly recommend this mag to anyone looking for calming times with a magazine!


title: Still essential for the doll lover and collector

text: As the Internet and the doll industry provides us with photos and reviews of many modern dolls, before they are released, this and most of the doll magazines that have managed to survive, are shadows of their former selves. This is one of those magazines that has survived, although the direction has changed to now highlight more little known doll artists, and new information on older dolls.


title: My two daughters and I are enjoying this magazine very ...

text: My two daughters and I are enjoying this magazine very much.  It gives us a reason to call each other and chat about decorating ideas.


title: More ads than content

text: Getting so that magazines have forgotten that they are read for the content... I know adds are important but never more that 25% of the content


title: gives your mind a rest

text: it is relaxing to read... nothing great, but okay


title: New Yorker Magazine

text: i love this magazine... it keeps me in touch with the beat of NYC....(that is the beginning where they have blurps on what is going on in the galleries, cinema, concerts ets)....  On the other side... the essay writing is hard to read... I think that is because the writers are paid by the word... BUT the cartoons are GREAT!!!


title: Model Railroader.  The standard and leader.

text:
I've just finished the 75th anniversary issue of Model Railroader. Another excellent issue. Model Railroader is the once - and still - leader in the model railroading journalism field.  There are other magazines which cater to a particular niche in this already small interest area that may do a better job in their specialized areas of interest - but for the best overall coverage, for leadership, for vision, for service to model railroading - Model Railroader stands alone.

Model Railroader offers the best photos, well-written articles, leading edge ideas and techniques.  And they do this all for about the same price as the other magazines in the field.


title: love this magazine!!

text: this is an awesome magazine! IThe information and the receipes are really yummy and I cant wait to get the next magazine!


title: Not quite what I imagined...

text: After reading an online review that highly rated this magazine, I decided to get a subscription for my 4.5 year old niece who loves Big Backyard.  I was shocked when my sister told me that the magazine was imbedded with religious ideas and stories.  I did not realize this from any of the information I had read about the magazine.  Apparently, my niece loves the puzzles, games and activities in Nature Friend so I will not cancel her subsciption, but the content of the magazine is from a Creationist viewpoint.  So if this is not the message that you want your child to receive about science, I would not recommend this magazine.  It is fine for those who adhere to these beliefs, but I think it is important that these views be evident before someone purchases this magazine so they are aware of how it is going to teach their child.


title: Soulful  approach

text: Great  magazine with very interesting information, it has excellent advice, recipes and a soulful approach. Thank you.


title: Love it!

text: Top Gun of the new realities.......sometimes I think I am reading scifi rather than the current news.  Love it!!


title: Magazine gets smaller

text: I have subscribed for a few years and as many magazines , more adds and less subject.<br />Very good photography, but not much substance.


title: Great for keeping up on new technology!

text: This is the greatest magazine I have ever read. My dad got a subscription when I was about 11 years old ('87), and I have been a faithful reader ever since. If you're interested in new technology, and new ideas this is the magazine for you. Popular Science isn't always about the "geek" topics either, they frequently feature practical advances in bicycles, automobiles, nuclear reactors, skin grafts, fighter jets and everything else. Don't mistake Pop. Sci. for a scientific journal either. The writers do a great job of keeping the articles at an interesting level; they don't bore you with all the scientific principals of their topics, but they do explain enough so that you get the basic idea behind a concept. My one and only complaint about the magazine is that occasionally their stories have a liberal bias, but overall it's good stuff. There's a reason this magazine has been around for over 100 years. Try it out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.


title: Do not order at Amazon

text: The Magazine is great, but Amazon forgot my order for 3 month. And mail me 3 month old magazine. I have seen same problem to other magazine order from Amazon.


title: Good Magazine

text: Bought this subscription for my boyfriend, who is a big WWII buff.....he told me that the magazine is really good, has some great articles, pictures, etc.  I believe he has already renewed the subscription


title: Total waste

text: I thought this would have information on animals, and have cool pictures of different places around the world.  Full of adds, and maybe one/two interesting facts, also don’t appreciate all the political crap in it.  Honestly my kids would be more entertained if I just burned the $30 bucks I wasted on this.  Junk, junk, junk!


title: worst magazine

text: I thought that i would recieve some advice whin I got this magazine. But instead it was only couple pages of stuff that could be considered good magazine. But mainly it was advertizing 98% that i hate.  I right away cancelled the magazine but it said it is being processed and it continued being sent to me and getting me upset. when it is going to end.


title: Bad choice

text: I recieved this magazine and it was not what I was expecting to be. I was expecting to be a good magazine that I could read without too much advertizing. Advertizing makes me nuts and distirbes me alot. After  that i desided to cancel the magazine. But whey are not calcelling it just processing it andkeep sending it to me when I do not want it anymore. When it is going to end i do not know.


title: Great subscription deal!

text: Best deal on this magazine!


title: Great magazine, too bad it never came.

text:
I've subscribed to this magazine before and love it, but had let it lapse for various reasons. I subscribed again through Amazon on Sept. 6. My credit card was billed, but 15-16 weeks later, I am still waiting for my first issue. I have just contacted customer service and hope for a speedy resolution.

Update: My first issue arrived in January 2009, and has been consistently arriving in a timely, uninterrupted fashion. The magazine itself has been getting a bit "slicker" and focusing a little more on personalities, destinations, that sort of thing. I personally would rather have a more serious focus om opera, but they have to appeal to a broad enough base to stay afloat.

title: One Star

text: I didn't receive all of my issues. Less than half have been received.


title: Good magazine, just wish it would come!

text: I ordered this almost a month ago and still have not received my first issue.  While this is a great magazine for people that are interested in technology, computers, etc, I cannot give it the 5 stars it deserves because I don't yet have the magazine!


title: great magazine

text: one of the few I read cover to cover.  Thought provoking articles.  The last of serious news and editorial content


title: Mostley antique & historical content

text: Interesting mag.  More on antique collector's restorations & historical articles than I was hoping for.  My interest was more for '50-80's projects & upgrades.  Only 1st issue so not a fair review probably.


title: Content Surprise

text: I thought when purchased Rolling Stone, it was going to be about the music industry completely. Much to my surprise I found GREAT articles and writing about timely issues. They have journalist that cover the world we are facing today. I enjoy their articles more than I enjoy some of the other magazines that are supposed to be about the news. The article about the General that disagreed with the way we are fighting in the Persian Gulf area. Then they followed up with a fantastic article on BP. I find myself looking forward to the next issue to sea what they are writing about. Along with this cutting edge writing, I do find great stories about the music industry and other such items.<br />I will try to never let my subscription expire.


I've only received two issues so far. Unless the future issues are a lot better I will not renew.


title: One Star

text: What a joke


title: Gotta love the South !!

title: Fun!

text: Our daughter loves getting it in the mail every month.


title: Glad I did not cancel it

text: Very good information that I can use.  Especially regarding cars and home appliances. Love the information on safety for baby highchairs.


title: Wonderful app

text: I love reading Essence magazine, I am happy I can now read it on my kindle fire. I recommend this


title: Great Delivery

text: Simply said, I have never received a magazine so fast after ordering. I will order all my magazines from Amazon in the future.


title: Waiting for the issue every time

text: I'm not a big fan of paper magazines in our Internet time but Wired made me think twice.<br />I've got it for the first time as a promo from Amazon and I'm delighted to extend the subscription for the next year. I can hardly think of any other magazine, in which I would not skip a single page (not counting ads, of course :))


title: Five Stars

text: My kids love it.


title: Five Stars

text: This was a gift subscription for my grandfaughter.....She loves it!


title: The classic horseman's magazine!!

text: I can't remember when I started reading Western Horseman.  My mother had a subscription back in the fifties, even though we had Arabians and half-Arabians.  As the title suggests, Western Horseman is a magazine for western horsemen.  Back in the fifties you wouldn't see an English saddle in the magazine.  However, I read it cover-to-cover then and I read it that way now.  Even during the time I couldn't own a horse, I read Western Horseman.  Nowdays, they occasionally include a horse with an English or, more likely, an Australian or Endurance saddle among all those western stock seat saddles.  But that is fine.  Western Horseman is what it claims to be, the premier magazine for western horsemen even if they don't live in the west or ride stock seat.  The magazine is full of information about western stock horse disciplines.  Their articles are basic and practical.  Their writers are people I have never met but whose names are as familiar to me as my next-door-neighbor.  They write about horse people. I have learned about rodeo clowns, bullriders, cowboy poets and western artists as well as horses.  They write about the western way of life and those people who try to preserve it even as it changes around them.  So, if you buy Western Horseman, and I hope you do, don't expect to read only about horses, although you will find plenty about horses.  Expect to read about western horsemen in all their variations.

text: Wonderful newspaper!Very fast delivery!


title: Scam

text: This is a scam! I have received 3 copies of the December 2020 HGTV magazine!! Really! Receding a magazine that is 3 months old!<br />I should receive a refund!


title: Great Magazine

text: Car and Driver is exciting and reviews many of the cars I care about.It is without question the best! I Love it.


title: American Vogue... keep up with the people ...

text: American Vogue...keep up with the people who think keeping up matters. A classic.


title: NOT THE MAGAZIINE IT USED TO BE!

text: I am a former Yankee magazine subscriber. Unfortunately, the content is now political. The Editor should realize that one reads the magazine to get AWAY from all things political. His preaching in every issue is obnoxious. I will not renew. Amazon is great for magazine subscriptions, though


title: It's ok

text: The magazine can become a bit one sided and drag to long a single subject. Though it is always nice to learn about new things coming about in the world today!


title: Good mag

text: The mag was good, but a lot of times they just drag way to long a such a little subject.


title: Random tech info that fires your brain synapses

text: As someone who's not a technology nerd/geek/aficionado or whatever is the term people apply, I find the topics and the style of writing to be entertaining in a "Huh never thought of that stuff before" kind of way. Great for a brain break, airplane flight or an excuse to read on the couch while visiting inlaws.


I have read Down East since it was first published in 1954.  Now with every renewal I ponder whether it is still worth it.  In the past few years the layout has changed from the way it was originally published.  The type gets smaller and varied every issue.  If 64% of its readership is aged 55 and above why does it print it's articles for people under 30 years old.  Articles are stretched over many pages with the emphasis to force one to read a glut of advertisements.  There are triple the advertisements from 10 years ago.  They are smaller and very intrusive. Article columns are confined to the middle of the magazine with the smaller advertising confined to the outside half of the page.  To me it is more of a distraction.  Articles then to be more controversial then informative.  Pictures are not the same caliber of years ago.  The decline of Down East Magazine as a premier regional magazine can be identified when it's humor columnist George Lovejoy "Doc" Rockwell died in 1978. Doc was Down East's "Maker of fine cigar ashes since 1889".  As with the replacement of wooden lobster traps with metal wire cage ones and the demise of the schooners Hesper and Luther Little, Down East no longer represents what Maine is to most of it's readers.  "Holding on to the past"  when it comes to Maine is what Maine is.

title: Motivation to be a B.O.S.S.!

text: B.O.S.S.  Magazine is a clear response to much of the negativity prevalent in much of today's media. Replete with a spectrum of inspirational success stories directed toward the youth, B.O.S.S. is a bright light in the midst of sex, scandal, and silliness, bring style and substance, motivation and message, education and entertainment. I'm excited to read about the movers and shakers, as well as the rising stars and unsung heroes featured in B.O.S.S. It is my pleasure to endorse, recommend, and express strong support for this great publication!

title: Thoughtful gift for my mom!

text: Once in a while, my mom buys Prevention and she's always fascinated by the insightful articles.  I got her a subscription for Xmas and she was very happy.  I must say, this magazine appeals to both men and women-- its articles reinforce a bigger message:  the best way to get better, is to live a healthy life and avoid getting sick in the first place!


title: Great - at least my wife says so

text: My wife is a buddhist, and I got this for her as a christmas present. She has now been getting it for 3 years she loved it so much


title: Wow, what a great magazine!

text: I received a subscription of this magazine as a Christmas gift.  Every issue is filled with beautiful images of wonderful bungalow homes.  Great articles, lot's of useful info.  For me, each issue is like a wish book of the home I'd like to own someday.

title: Love my mom too much to give her this garbage.

text: My mom had bought a few issues on the supermarket and enjoyed some of the exercise tips and recipes. She had enjoyed some of those exercises and few articles enough that I was considering getting her the 1 year subscription, well no more. It was bad enough that Experience LIfe decided to feature a quack, self-pretentious, science illiterate, that bans from her Facebook page anyone that asks legitimate questions, or has concerns about where she gets her information from, but when people had issues with your decision to feature her on the cover your magazine decided to make outlandish accusations of those comments, stating that, "these comments bear the earmarks of an industry-coordinated response." It seems to me that you have drank the Vani Hari Kool-Aid and that your magazine has lost all credibility. I have spoken with my mom, and instead I will get her a subscription for a different magazine, one that does not endorse pseudoscience and values costumers opinions.


title: Excellent,  but nostalgic

text: I don't suppose I'll ever quit pining for the old newspaper format,  but W is still the most artistic and informative of the fashion magazines.  It's worth the price of a subscription for their fabulous advertisements,  sort a like the superbowl.  I wish they hadn't merged with Vogue, as it was nice having two major and distinct voices in the fashion world,  but for my money W is worth all those other fashion magazines combined.
