title: Magazine For Wannabes

text: Don't waste your time if you're interested in actual adventures. This magazine is a waste of paper. Nothing but gear pushing and pathetic political pandering. Apparently they are aiming for the millennials that buy Patagonia and fancy boots just so they can walk into the nearest whole paycheck market - and their "gear" never sees dirt or the REAL outside.  Avoid this magazine if you ACTUALLY want to get outside, get dirty, and make adventures. This is just a magazine for "wannabes".  Unfortunately I haven't found a good magazine for outdoor adventures. My suggestion: find somewhere that sounds interesting and just go there and make your own adventure.


title: Enough with Mt. Everest already!

text: I used to enjoy this magazine for the VARIETY of adventures. The stories and photos were equally captivating. Now I'm able to skim through an issue and toss it in the recycling bin because the substance and interesting stories just aren't there anymore. When my subscription runs out in a couple months, that's it - no renewals. Frankly I get more enjoyment out of the Patagonia catalogs I get. They have great stories and photos sandwiched between the attire, however I don't have to pay for a subscription.


title: Fine for guys

text:
I'm not sure what has happened at Outside, but for the past couple of years it seems like it wants to be Esquire. Though not founded as a men's magazine, it's become that. Case in point: The most recent gift guide, which is titled ""What Every Man Wants This Year." Apparently it was too hard to find gifts women would like.

The photography is astounding, but overall you're better off going with the real thing: Subscribe to Esquire.


title: To much filler

text: Like most of these magazines the adds overwhelm and the articles under-whelm. Outside is starting to look like a glamour magazine. So sad it use to be a good resource.


title: 6 to 10 weeks?!

text: I love this magazine, but am disappointed that my magazines will not start arriving for 6 to 10 weeks according to Amazon.  If I had known that I would not have used Amazon to purchase my subscription.  Very disappointing.


title: great mag!

text: Love the fact that the subscription also includes the kindle version, which looks great on the iPad. The only reason it gets four stars is because Outside has definitely shifted from some of its story/content focus and is shifting to a "gearhead" focus. However, the stories and features are still great!


title: Outside Magazine

text: it was a gift.  but i love the magazine.


title: Great magazine, lousy service

text:
So I ordered in March and they tell me I won't receive the magazine until June!  I thought in the age of information and technology, my order would pass on through.  Instead its some sort of mule carrying my request to the subscription center.  Then they have to hand-write my address on each magazine cover... note sarcasm.

I can download mp3s and buy an album on the spot, but I can't get a magazine at my door for 3 months?

Get it together!!  Don't buy it from Amazon!


title: I love this magazine!

text: Even in the dreary days of January-this magazine gets me ready to get up off the couch and start living in 3D.  Love it.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine. Men's Journal is another favorite.


title: Great for non-LAers

text: I subscribed to the mag so I know more about the city for a future visit. It's very good about describing all kinds of things. For instance, in the latest copy a sidebar tells the interesting history of Crenshaw Boulevard. The mag has lists of restaurants, best things to do in LA, places to stay. Very comprehensive.


title: Too many Male-Oriented Photos are disappointing

text: Loved the magazine, but after two years of it, the onslaught of mostly bare-chested men both in the mag and on the cover was too much.  Where are the women?  If it is targeting the gay audience, please say so.  Each month, I'd count the number of men vs. women photos and there are very few women.  Just unshaven boys.  Not my cup of tea, so my subscription hasn't been renewed.


title: Nice pictures

text: "Outside" is...a horrible magazine.  There's not a nicer way to put it.  This is no longer the magazine of Jon Krakauer, it's something you get a year's subscription for free by buying at certain retailers.  The articles are scarce between endless mentions of expensive gear and tips and tricks that are blindingly obvious.  The magazine isn't even about being outside.  For Olympic coverage the magazine did not cover the Jamacian sprinters, implosion of US track and field, or even the effect of Title IX on American amateur sports.  No, "Outside" put Michael Phelps on the cover, several months late.  Phelps equipment and environment are engineered to 3 decimal places and his sport doesn't even take place outside.  Slight oversight there guys.  This magazine is for people that want to look like they might go outside.  So if you really want $100 t-shirts or bicycle wheels made of the latest version of Unobtainum to show off you might enjoy "Outside".  Everyone else should just stick with the latest REI catalog.


title: A magazine about stuff.

text: Wired is mostly about stuff.  Namely stuff you don't have, stuff you can't afford, and stuff that if you do own you aren't using to its full potential.  The stuff is so pervasive through the magazine that it's hard to tell ads from articles.  And the ads.  You have to go through 15 pages of ads just to get to the table of contents.  After that it's another 15 pages before you get to any content.  The categories are so eclectic you never know what you're getting in each issue.  One issue may contain reviews of folding bicycles while another issue will have the beauty secrets of Japanese teens.  Online stories from Wired are among the most informative and well researched out there.  In the magazine there usually aren't more than 2 that are worth reading.  Wired represents traditional print competing with online sources.  If you were to open up 20 random web pages, you'll get a pretty good approximation of what Wired is about.


title: outside Magazine verses Backpacker

text:
Outside magazine sucks there's no product reviews in it or very little.When I took the Backpacker magazine there where lots
of outproduct reviews Im going to buy backpacker magazine
again for this  reason.


title: No substance at all

text:
I read the magazine about 10 years ago, it was an informative magazine. However it was then! Inside the magazine, it would show you gears with their prices, but it was arranged to a point that I can barely read. Most of the stories have no substance at all, I would be OK with it if I was reading "Intouch".

Honestly, I thought Outside would be a outdoor (healthy magazine that the whole family can read) magazine and I was hoping my elementary son could read it too. But this magazine usually shows those outsiders with no top and flexing muscles. There was even an ad for 5 finger shoes which a man and a female posted naked and only covered their private parts with the 5 finger shoes. The current issue (Dec/ 2011) cover shows a tanned Abercrombie man (when I got the magazine from my mailbox, I thought it was some sort of X- rate magazine), I determined not to even let my son see the cover. After quickly browsed through the pages, I realized there was no worthy topic to read. Therefore, I throwed the magazine right into the trash can.

Out of the 11 issues I have received, I have to say there were probably 3 issues that had a few worthy articles in it. If you are a person who fantasies a few toned muscles in a sexual way, then Outside is the magazine for you. Having said that, I still think the twice- a - year buyers guide is awesome, but the actual magazine? No Way.


title: Not so good.

text: APO Address, living overseas. We have the issue on the news stand about 3-5 weeks before I get my copy in the mail. I do not use an Ipad, and the Kindle edition does not show up on my android device. Not planning to renew.


title: GOING DOWN HILL...

text: The main complaint in the critical reviews is that OUTSIDE has lost it's formerly excellent articles and substance.  THEY ARE CORRECT.  This was a great magazine that is quickly "losing" it.


hardly ever receive the copies of this magazine, not sure whos fault, the seller or my international forwarder....  boh keep pointing at each other....


title: Outside USED to be good - now its pulp

text:
(I sent the following letter to their customer service last week)

After about 15 years of getting your magazine, I have decided not to renew my subscription. It is a shame that your once great publication has become such a joke.

After receiving your November issue, and spending 10 minutes removing all the inserts and gimmick ads so I could actually read it, I found no substance. Instead there is a fashion section (yikes), a `hot list' with young barely dressed men and women (hey I'm not against a little sex and skin, but I'll subscribe to Vogue or Maxim for that), an article about Larry David's wife that might as well have come from People magazine, an Aussie travelogue that I am convinced their tourist board paid for, all sandwiched in between so many ads for monster SUVs and other crap that you need a compass and a map just to keep up with where the articles worth reading continue from one page to the next.

What happened to the great writers like Krakauer? What happened to having any environmental conscience? Where are the stories of adventure that are real and make you want to go there? Maybe I am just getting older than your current demographic. I haven't lost my sense of adventure, which is why I live in Durango CO and spend a lot of time outdoors. I used to look to your magazine for inspiration. Now I half expect the cover to tout stories on `killer abs'. You've become the Clear Channel of the outdoor magazine world.

Get real again and I may come back.


title: Ads, gossip, and gear reviews

text:
I used to love this magazine and subscribed on and off for years. But I finally realized it holds nothing for me anymore except 1 or 2 good photographs and sometimes the fitness section. Almost all the articles are about sports that I could never afford to get even mediocre at, gear, and - increasingly and alarmingly - hot & trendy outdoor sports stars.  The tone of the magazine is kind of breathless, often kind of snide.

It's not all bad - I do like the monthly fitness section, and sometimes there are great articles and useful travel info. But now I just browse it at the checkout stand if it's a good issue, I'll buy it there.


title: Outside

text: Great articles, very informative, great pictures very colorful


title: Five Stars

text: Love the articles ans pictures. Well written and easy to understand


title: Outside Takes You Outside

text: Outside magazine is a great publication to augment your "outside" activities and travels.  It is especially helpful in bringing to the reader all the many possibilities that you may not be considering; it is an "educational" experience.


title: Outside is awesome

text: Outside is a great magazine, including beautiful photography, fascinating articles, a good dose of enviro-activism, and heavy on  gear reviews. (Purists, take note--this magazine loves outdoor gear.)<br />Frequent articles on extreme sports and travel, and occasionally includes stunning articles that no one else will cover (for instance, the article awhile back on the ongoing mountain war between India and Pakistan).


title: Good, but...

text: PC Magazine has a lot of good reviews, offers many helpful tips, and covers breaking technology. It's targeted a little more towards the "what will be" area of computing as opposed to PC World, which is very product-centered.<br />I enjoy this magazine, and am a new subcriber, but if forced to choose only one, I'd take PC World over this mag.


title: Take a look -- a nice resource

text:
PC World is targeted towards the day-to-day Windows user, most likely someone using multiple machines or someone encountering different systems. This is not the best choice to help educate a first-time computer user.
However, PC World is a great resource. I've found numerous tips that have saved me time and money, and I find that they offer a nice blend of covering cool gadgets vs. noting the freeware or shareware that you may not hear of elsewhere.
I'm a long-time buyer, and now a new subscriber to the magazine--and will be for years to come.


title: Like a dumber lamer GQ with more patagonia

text: Outside used to be a pretty interesting magazine, but somehow turned into a totally dumb men's mag about dumb stuff. I guess they think only vapid shallow wealthy men enjoy the outdoors? boooring.


title: eh. not that great.

text: sorry, but I don't feel like their experiments are very well done. They just don't seem to have thought things through, or researched at all, before trying stuff out. Issues are short and fail to innovate.


I'll have to admit that I get it primarily for the cartoons! But I also love to read about the culture of NYC.


title: Shady marketing practices

text: I ordered a one year subscription through Amazon. I was going to renew it until last week. I get this notice in the mail in a tan folder that looks exactly like a DMV warning that says "Warning! Cancellation Notice! Urgent Response!". It was intended to look like a court summons or something to that effect. I get worried thinking I missed a court date or something, and open it to discover that it's a notice that my Guitar World subscription is ending. I don't need that type of shady nonsense in my life. If they can pull crap like that, I don't trust them with my credit card. I won't be renewing, ever.


title: Great info for kids

text: Make sure to track of delivery


title: kindle edition?

text: I like this magazine but was disappointed to not see it offered for kindle. are there plans to offer it digitally any time soon?


title: Late delivery

text: I bought this subscription for my wife and she enjoys the magazine, but so far each issue is delivered long after it is available in stores.


title: Great for Spanish speaking mothers!

text: Great magazine for Spanish speaking loved ones, especially mothers! Will probably have this magazine subscription for a while. Cheap too!


title: Inspiration

text: It gives me great ideas how to decorate house to make it into a home


title: this is a GREAT magazine to purchase

text:
For ALL outdoor enthusiasts and activists, this is a GREAT magazine to purchase.

The magazine is FULL of useful articles, product reviews, advice, reader feedback, and shopping advice.

The subscription service through Amazon is an easy process that is cost effective and easy to manage.  Auto renewals make it convenient to remember payment and ensure the magazine arrives every month as desired.

For outdoorsman (and outdoors women), this is the magazine for YOU!


title: Granddaughter loves it!

text: My granddaughter loves this magazine. The subscription started much sooner than stated,which is a big +++!!!


title: Best Magazine for Girls

text:
If you want to raise a daughter who has high self confidence, respects herself as a woman and a human being, understands different peoples' perspectives, and has friends from all over the country and Canada, then you should subscribe to New Moon Girls.  Subscriptions include online membership in a creative, safe community where girls email ("sticker") and share original content, including stories, videos, and audio clips.  New Moon's message is a welcome relief from dominant cultural trends, and completely original.  No other girls' magazine compares, especially if you prefer to avoid messages about makeup, clothes and boys.

American Girl, the only other quality magazine for young girls, is at heart, a commercial magazine.  In contrast, New Moon does not even accept ads.

$40. is a bargain when you consider that the fee includes not only a print subscription but a year's access to this very special online community.


title: a treat every month

text: the day Country Living arrives is a holiday for me. A beautiful, practical and interesting magazine. Great ideas, instruction recipes and advice. Can;t be beat by anything in the US. THE only magazine subscription I have!


title: Boooooring stories, silly art, waste of money

text: I picked this up on a whim.  I wish I'd put the money into a book or a twelve pack of beer or an over-due parking ticket.


title: Good read for the geek in you.

text: I am not a geek, but this is a great magazine if you want to feel like your up on the times. Informative, fun and down right interesting. I like the 3-D pages (if that'st the right term) that it offers on line. I wish ALL magazines went to tablets. I would buy more! (hint-hint)


title: THE BEST MAGAZINE EVER

text: I send it to prison every year. It gives them hours of enjoyment and laughs.


title: Number one magazine for me.

text: Incomparable.  Can't imagine my days without it.


title: This is a great Magazine.

text:
I purchased this Magazine for my daughter for a birthday gift.
She was suprised and loved it.. !!
we renewed the subscription later on..


title: Useful magazine

text: Good price and nice magazine to have around the house to read.


How can you not like National Geographic.  And a subscription allows me a free download of the magazine on my mobile device which comes weeks earlier than the hard copy, which I then donate to others.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: Love it and it exceeded my expectations:)!


title: Kid Fave

text: My son loves these!


title: What Happened?

text: I have read Time magazine for over 50 years.  What happened to the concise articles of events from around the world.  Articles that filled the pages with diverse views of thought. From global news, to politics, science, sports, art and literature, and more., Not just a hand full of pages at the front of the magazine they call reporting, before the latest issue of lists or of the best of this or that....and long winded essays that seem to be paid by the word, not for the content of diverse views.  I will say that there are good well written articles, now and then.  But for the most part it is a cringe worthy magazine not worth reading.  I sadly canceled my subscription.


title: cancelled the order, too many magazines

text: this is a good journal but i have too many subscriptions


title: amazing, excellent informative stories

text: Classic, amazing, excellent informative stories, on diverse subjects;  traditionally awesome photographs.


title: Very informative a much read 📚

text: I learned few things,  being a woman it's nice to know what to ask<br />When in need of help.


title: Love this magazine

text: I really look forward to this magazine coming in the mail...but wish it was a monthly magazine.


title: Farmhouse necessities!

text: Excellent!  I like the country living away from city smog and pesticides!


title: Well-written articles, by excellent reporters.

text: I love this magazine for the well-written articles. The fashion is probably interesting to those who follow the latest trends. For me, I’d just as soon do without all the pages of clothing and jewelry. I just enjoy the reading of the reporting. A quality magazine.


title: Great magazine.

text: This magazine is wonderful, and a necessity for me.


title: not geeting my magazine

text: I did not get my Fall issue, and it's almost time foe the Winter issue


title: No item to review!

text: I would like to write a review, but I have yet to receive the item ..... MacLife ... that was ordered August 5th 2007. When and/or if I receive it, I will be happy to make my review.


title: Three Stars

text: Ads are expensive and stories are ok


title: Five Stars

text: Fantastic magazine!!


title: Just one big marketing piece

text: Got my first issue. Nearly every article tries to sell something or refer you to a blog. A couple articles were pictures of used upholstery projects with 3-4 paragraphs of largely useless blurbs. Will cancel before automatic renewal. May try another issue, but this magazine was not worth my time.


title: Heads up

text: This is a great magazine.  Love to read it.  I'm giving it a 3-star review because a magazine subscription does not give you unlimited access to the website!  You can't access anything from Cooks Illustrated older than 4 months.  That seems very odd in this day and age.  Too bad.


title: A lot of good recipes and new decoration  ideas!!!

text: I love this magazine!!!


title: ripped off

text: This only came for two months and then just stopped... not a very good mag anyway


title: Mediocre...

text:
We received this as a Christmas gift for my son when he was 7 months old. Now, 11 months after the subscription was ordered by my cousin, the first one finally arrived. When my cousin called and asked about it she was told that it takes 10 months to process which seems completely ridiculous. I am thoroughly unimpressed with their customer service.

The books are very flimsy, and are definitely not board books. The stories inside are perfectly geared towards their young audience, however it's not the best writing I've ever seen. The artwork is nice, and my son seems to enjoy it, however we have asked that my cousin not renew the subscription and instead just get books.


title: I love this magazine

text: I love this magazine.  I can`t wait for the next issue.  The food is so good looking and tastes great.  Wonderful magazine for all cooks.


title: Five Stars

title: great magazine

text: The magazine arrived much more quickly than expected resultiing in a premature gift but it was just as expected and well liked.


title: Magazine

text: Subscription is competitive priced and the auto renewal makes managing subscriptions a snap.  This is an excellent magazine that is well written and has timely articles.


title: Cover to cover one of the best reads around

text: Happy Happy Birthday. My husband said it was the perfect birthday gift.


title: An informative magazine

text: Useful


title: My son-in-law, the Dr., loves it!

text: This was a Christmas gift two years ago and came up for renewal.  So I inquired if he wished to continue receiving the Vegetarian Times.  The answer was a resounding YES!


title: Fly RC Review

text: It is a good RC publication. It varies reviews on both Nitro & Electric airplanes.


title: Backyard Flyer Magazine Review

text: After purchasing the subscription it seems to take forever to get your first copy(but no matter how you order a magazine it seems this way). The magazine is excellent. It concentrates on smaller RC airplanes, especially electrics.


title: Wonderful perspectives

text: Plenty to think about in every issue. There are many ways to get raw news, and plenty of pundits giving instant takes on the latest whatevers, but it takes a magazine like the Atlantic to offer reasoned, thoughtful viewpoints on the really important issues of the decade, not just the day or week. It takes me a whole month to finish each month's issue...you read an article, then spend the rest of the day thinking about it. Thank you.


title: Love the magazine!

text: Very much enjoyed my subscription: great, thoughtful articles, wonderful cartoons, interesting fiction, even like the letters. If only it didn't come every week! Can't keep up, so I let the subscription lapse and ordered the Atlantic., which uses some of the same (and same quality of) authors. Will miss the cartoons, though...


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine!

title: They Hate Subscribers

Good luck trying to get an issue mailed to your house when you purchase a subscription.

First of all, I was intrigued -- even enthusiastic -- with the magazine's "new" format as of 2013.  These days, it is obviously trying to compete with the way Reminisce USED to be, with lavishly colored photos -- or hand-tinted antique photos -- illustrating their articles, and a fascinating time span of nostalgia from pre-1920 up through the 1970's.  Now, of course, as of last year, Reminisce has turned into just another dreary, silly, empty "baby boomer" nostalgia magazine yapping about all the Barbie dolls and GI Joes we played with as little kids in the late 1960's, the vapid and often horrible TV shows (If I see Lucille Ball's garishly lipsticked maw leering from another nostalgia magazine cover one more time, I am going to burn the issue right out in the open) and this skewed, warped-vanilla idea that growing up in the 1970's, we all lived on air force bases, our high school siblings had crew cuts if they were boys or wore plaid skirts below their knees if they were girls, and no one in their lives had ever been friends with, let alone even seen, an African-American or Asian or Hispanic person in their town.  I mean, WHERE is this place?  Heavy-metal glitter-rock hedonistic 1970's seems like My Favorite Martian to the publishers of Reminisce, these days.  Hippies are only depicted in one-page cartoons of ridicule and frightened awe  (I SAW A HIPPIE ONCE, bellows the contributor.  I WAS SCARED), and reader contributors  write in gushing about how much they loved the Carpenters. That wasn't my childhood.  Was it yours?

Okay, enough of that.  Now about its competitor and the originator of nostalgia magazines, Good Old Days.  As I said, they are trying to recapture the essence of the old, 1990's Reminisce and looked mighty good, a happy change from their cheap newspaper print on coarse pulp, sourly smeared photos of old-timey Hollywood, and Norman-Rockwell-on-an-antihistamine-jag discount illustrations -- yet I LOVED the terrific articles in the old Good Old Days which I bought in piles from flea markets and antiques malls -- those 1960's, 1970's, even 1980's issues featured people who'd been alive during the Jazz Age!  The Great Depression!  Had grandparents or even parents who'd ridden in horses and buggies!  What fascinating peeks into people's genuine pasts.  Not even replicating 1990's Reminisce's saluting soldier boys or people giggling about the dangerous wells and life-sucking, cow-swallowing mud puddles on their farms, and having only outhouses to use in 1964 Minnesota or Indiana (you mean it took indoor plumbing THAT LONG to get to your community?  Really?!)  I mean, I loved the mag. I finally found a way to subscribe to it.  I sometimes get an issue.  Every couple of months.  At the very tail end of the month, after my email shrieks for 5 weeks that my issue is "on its way."  Get the picture?  What is it with magazines just not being able to put across anymore?  Is it the money?  Big pig corporations owning them now and ordering them to rob every hapless middle-aged fart they see?  If I started my own magazine, would it disappear into the vapors of postal nonentity or be sucked into some anonymous cyberspace if I attempted to mail an issue to anyone?


title: Two Stars

text: stick with Southern Living


title: a fun mag

text: I always enjoy flipping around the pages of instyle.  The pictures are always really nice and they have lots of good fashion and beauty info.  I admit I do feel a little guilty about getting it in the mail because it's such a big one that you feel guilty getting rid of it when you're done reading it.  I always get lots of ideas and find style tips that I use in my life from it.  The only part I really don't like is that some of the stuff they show is just outrageously expensive that it's not even a remote option.  I understand some of it is high fashion but it can be a bit over the top.


title: Better than I remember!

text: I have been reading Rolling Stone, off and on, for years.  You know, in the grocery store - at the hair salon- etc.  I decided to go ahead and take the plunge and commit to a subscription. Well, let me tell you...the articles have been fantastic!  The music stories, the charts, the political and pop-culture fantastic!!!  Cannot say enough!!!! I highly recommend RS to everyone!!!


title: Just like reading the magazine with some more advantages

text: The quality of the graphics is great. I felt like I had just as good of an experience reading it digitally as I would have had buying it from the newstand. I live internationally so this is a great opportunity for me to subscribe to a magazine without paying the outrageous additional shipping.


title: Great for kids and worth the money!

text: This is great for kids and worth the money! When it first arrived in the mail, I quickly gave it to my kids. After they read the magzine, they wanted more. So, I purchased more. Now they are addicted to these magzines. I highly recommend this magzine if you have kids that love reading magzines or books.


title: I didn’t order this

text: Spanish

text: Great all around horse magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Magazine!


title: Worth every sterling... even in the US

text: The Economist is a weekly treat. Out of the many news/business magazines out there this is one of the priciest, for a reason. World class editorial team, opinionated global coverage, sprinkled with british humor. The only magazine I find myself actually reading.


title: Great Deal

text: All You magazine is packed with savings deals and is totally worth the money.  It took a while to arrive, but I'm happy for the assortment of savings that I've found inside!

title: A gift that keeps on giving.

text: A Christmas gift to my 3 year old grandson.  He loves it so much, my daughter ordered it for his friend as a birthday gift !


title: Great Gift for the Kiddos!

text: I originally discovered this magazine when my child was little, and she loved it. I have gifted it to other kiddos in my life, and they always seem to enjoy it.


title: great magazine for tween girls

text: My 12-yr-old daughter loves this magazine, and I love it to for its positive messages and images and no ads!


title: Best Magazine Ever

text: I love the magazine, I'm so glad I ordered it. This magazine has the best decorating and DYI ideas ever


title: My Great Granddaughter's Favorite

text: For quite some time now, my great granddaughter has thoroughly enjoyed this magazine------it challenges her in several ways thru text, puzzles, illustrations, etc.  She is a great fan, and that makes me one, too!!


title: Five Stars

text: We enjoy the variety of locations covered by the articles.


title: does not come with disc

text: Saw this on an amazon discount daily special. Took forever to activate from time of purchase and when it did finally arrive it comes without the accompanying disc. Probably should have guessed that with the low price discount but it's definitely not the product I ordered.


title: Hard to tell how many times you order a subscription.

text: I love the magazine.  It will give me so many ideas for activities with my grandkids as they grow older.  The only problem I have with the order process is that I have ended up with 3 subscriptions to the same magazine.  I ordered one, then figured I hadn't ordered it after all since I didn't get the magazine, then ordered again.  Before I received any magazines, I received an invoice in the mail stating that I owed for my subscription, so I paid again.  A few days after sending in a check for the invoice, I received 2 copies of the magazine.  Now I have 3 subscriptions to the same magazine and must try to cancel 2 of them.


title: Five Stars

text: Great history read!


title: A Nice Magazine But Too Expensive

text: I had liked this magazine when I picked it up at newsstands in Craft stores, so I decided to buy a one year's subscription.  It was $95.00 per year.  They do send free gifts (stamps and paper), but I still think it is too expensive.


title: No Day time Listing

text: I have always like TV guide However I got this one and found out that there is no day time listing. so I go back to my Day newspaper to see whats on the day light hours ??? don't get me wrong its great listing for nite time tv . But no day time. I call them up and they said the  networks change daytime listing to much for them to get out the right information . Gee I guest to much work for them . So stick with the newpaper and SAVE your MONEY.


title: Good Magazine

text: love the mag


title: magazine

text: Magazine was not what we expected. I loved it, he didn't. Brought as a gift. He expensive to renew.


title: Perfect and Reliable

text: Bought & sent as a gift. Exactly what was wanted.


title: Not the magazine it used to be

text: This magazine is very politically charged, advertises things I could never afford and seems out of touch with the experiences of  most women. I was disappointed.


title: Not interesting

text: Full of advertisements.  Very little articles.


title: Great magazine for those who love France and all things French

text: Nice English language magazine for those who love France. Great travel information but nice cultural tidbits as well, even features on French areas outside France - such as Montreal. I would have subscribed many years ago had I known the magazine existed.


title: Five Stars

text: One of the best regional magazines ever.


title: So useful and insightful

text: One of the most important magazines you could ever own. So useful and insightful. Love it.

text: Best design magazine ever.

text: THIS WAS A GIFT


title: gift for granddaughter.

text: THIS WAS A GIFT.  THEY SAID THANK YOU.


title: antiques and art

text: I love Antiques magazine because it combines history and art.  The illustrations are wonderful, and the information is accurate and first rate.


title: Very Colorful gardening Ideas!

text: I ordered this magazine for my daughter in Ct who is a great gardener. When we visited them this past weekend, I noticed it, as she must’ve been reading Country Gardens prior to our arrival from Fl. As I had never seen the Country Gardens magazine, I thumbed thru it, finding it colorful & interesting. I’m not sure of all the content as I was w/the grandkids, but I hope there’s info on planting various perennials pertaining to cold weather vs warm weather climates, as what one could plant in the south (ie: if they wanted a lilac) as a very close substitute. All in all, the magazine was great!


title: Finally

text: I spent a lot of time trying to pick a cooking/nutrition magazine to subscribe to, and this is the one.  It has tons of great recipes, nice pictures, and interesting articles that don't repeat the same old food/diet information I've read a hundred times.  But probably the thing that sets this magazine apart the most is that compared to every other magazine I've looked at, there are BARELY ANY ADVERTISEMENTS.  Nothing makes me feel more ripped off than to find that my magazine is about 40% full page ads.  I'm so glad I found one that's not like that.


title: Fabulous Find!

text: In a market flooded with fashion magazines for female tweens and teens, it's unbelievably tough for mothers to find alternative reading materials in periodical format for their daughters -- but Faces saves the day! Although it's a slightly expensive subscription, the educational information it provides about the world -- and especially about the world's children -- is well worth the cost. I HIGHLY recommend either substituting a Faces subscription for a fashion magazine one, or adding it to a tween/teen girl's periodical library.


title: Out of print, don’t buy

text: Magazine is out of print, don’t purchase.


title: Great mag

text: Love it.


title: Good

text: All good.


title: Disappointed in how it's changed over the years

text: Had this subscription years ago and was disappointed to see how much this magazine has changed. This magazine used to feature old school hot rods and they now are geared towards pro touring cars. I will not be renewing this subscription.


title: Country Gardens Magazine

text: I have received one copy and did not find it to be relevant to my needs - I called to cancel subscription and was told that I could receive one more copy to consider before cancellation.  If I do not like it, I can cancel for a full refund...this seems very fair to me.


title: Still best for geeks

text: I'v been taking this mag since it was called Boot. It still has the best overall info for builders, but they are starting to get a little trendy in their pages.


title: Useless content and nothing about architectural style.

text: This magazine is mostly ads and a few pictures of room decor.


title: Informative journal but I would really like to see more articles regarding adults and independence.

text:
I would love to see an article to help my 28 year old gain indepence and live in his own apartment. He is very self-sufficient; he drives, has gone away to college and done well, can cook, does his own
laundry, and has a job packing groceries.
He seems to be afraid to make this change as he is with all other changes. I would love to know how other parents have handled this situation. Any advice as to finding a roommate, and locating necessary services as well as living arrangements would be very welcome.

title: Good tech magazine

text: I am sure there are tons of tech/computer magazines to choose from. However, Maximum PC hits the mark and fulfills my needs when it comes to the latest for technology and what is happen in the techworld. From the latest gadgets to the latest news and reviews. This is my source when it comes to computer tech, of course supplemented with only sites and blogs as well. While it does provide some good insight and good articles, print media will always suffer the wrath of the always updating world of the interweb.

text: So sad. I could read the old Southern Living Mags forever and over and over again. I leaf through the new ones in less than 15 minutes. And have no desire to return. Will never subscribe to SL again. What a huge disappointment. The heart is gone from this grand old publication.

text: I've been purchasing for my grandson for several years.  Hard to believe but he reads it from cover to cover.


title: ... is a fast read for those of us who love food, houses

text: Southern Living magazine is a fast read for those of us who love food, houses, decorating and all things Southern.  It's easy to flip through when you await the dryer buzzer or when you're hungry.  My decorating revolves around what doesn't show dog hair so I appreciate all the easy styles.  After moving from Maine to Florida I need gardening tips, too.  They've got my back.


title: Comfortable, colorful and cool coastal decorating help

text:
We moved from Maine to Florida and I need a style update from 1825 house to comfortable two story split level (or whatever it's called these days)

Coastal Living is amusing and colorful.  I'd rather see our swimming pool than snow.


title: Great

text: Food Network mag always has great things to try as long as you know your basic cooking processes. The only downside is I got an extra copy of the last issue which I had already bought at the store.


title: Five Stars

text: Recipient loves this magazine


title: A Timeless Classic- LOVE!!

text: A timeless magazine. I remember reading these at my grandpa's house and loving them. I'm excited to now be an adult and have my own subscription! I love the jokes and the stories. I hope it's around for my kid's kids!!


title: Healthy eating that is delicious.

text: I rely on cooking light for most of my new recipe ideas. It helps me to watch our healthy eating and still have delicious meals. I especially enjoy their healthy take on old favorites and comfort foods.


title: A gift for the newly-wed?

text: Lots of useful info according to the couple I gifted this to.  My son's favorite article was one where tips and examples of pics were detailed on how to sell your horse on craigslist.  I gave the newlyweds a hard time when they started buying horses to train and sell but they've made a believer out of me- sold 2 mares in 2 months for a $1,000 dollars profit each.  My son says when the magazine comes he 'disappears' because his new bride is engrossed in the newest issue.  A gem for sure when newlyweds start acting like old married couples due to a magazine subscription.


title: Fuels Your Aspiration

text: I've collected these for years. Helpful home remodeling and building tips. Beautiful architectural ideas as well. Someday I hope to build a house based on the inspiration I find here.


title: Two Stars

text: Disappointed. I thought it was supposed to be a magazine.


title: Great magazine, but no online access.

text:
My husband and I have subscribed to Cook's Illustrated for at least 10 years.

Favorite parts:

- Recipes are well researched, and tell you WHY you should use a certain technique or ingredient over another.

 - The cooking ingredient / gadget reviews.  Cook's reviews everything from chocolate to stand mixers to cheese graters, and their reviews are almost always spot on.

Downsides:

 - Many of the recipes are pretty basic, which is GREAT for a beginning cook, but less useful as you gain more experience. Still, there is always at least one recipe in each issue that is worth a look.

 - Subscription does not come with internet access, and the internet recipes don't have the lengthy description and rationales.  We subscribe to both, but I don't like having to do that.


title: Approach with caution

text:
I like the magazine well enough, but their business practices leave a lot to be desired. Some time into my initial subscription I was solicited to renew, and did so, sending a check for a two year subscription. Soon afterward I stopped receiving magazines, even though I still was owed one more issue for my original subscription.

So I have paid these people for three years worth of magazines, but have received only five issues. When I queried, they promised a refund, which has never materialized. The latest story is that they somehow sent a check to an incorrect address (even though my address was attached to my query, and to every subsequent email, of which there have been many).

If you're interested in this magazine, I suggest you buy issues at a retail location; it's more expensive, but at least that way you will actually get what you pay for!


title: Five Stars

text: great


title: Quick!!

text: This publication gives GREAT access to all kinds of books. It is like a literary taste tea. I love having so much information at my fingertips...


title: TV

text: I was surprised that I like this "magazine" so much !  My old perception of it was that it was "dated".  I really like the<br />"new" TV Guide.  It is easy to see new programs, specials, etc.  If I can get a good rate when this subscription ends, I may re-up !


title: Two Stars

text: Sorry, but no really a fan of this magazine.


title: the grandaughters love it

text: I have given this magazine to granddaughters, ages 9 & 7 and they both love it, and wanted me to renew their subscriptions.


title: Perfect for the pseudo-scientist

text: Perfect for the pseudo-scientist. I like this mag because it is general information on science and technology. On the other hand, that means the articles and some of the info is softball, not for someone who is knowledgeable in those areas. Great for the average joe.


title: Best magazine. Ever.

text: New Yorker just makes me happy. I have eliminated all other sources of news from my life in an effort to maintain my equilibrium, sanity, and happiness. While the Nyorker slants a little to the left, it’s not so overbearing as to be distracting. I love the in-depth pieces on all manner of fascinating topics and the cartoons are a laugh for lagniappe.


title: Recipes!!

text: Love, love, love this magazine!! Great price offered on amazon.com and I am so happy to have it!! I'll take recipes in all varieties!!


title: Five Stars

text: My 4 year old loves this magazine!


title: Pleasant colorful fun

text: Colorful ladies magazine.  Recipes very good but usually complicated.  Frequently home decor tips are both appealing and budget friendly.<br />I enjoying paging through this publication although I have never read every article in a single issue.


title: Okay Magazine, Could be Better...

text:
I have subscribed to the hard copy version of Outdoor Photographer since the very beginning, way back in 1987, or so.  The reason that I subscribed for so long was due to Galen Rowell's excellent column (I believe it was called "Photo Adventure").  Galen's writing was as vivid as the photos that he took, so I couldn't wait until the next issue showed up in my mailbox.

When Galen and Barbara passed away, I continued to subscribe, because it was like an automated reflex, so I continue to get the magazine until this day (2014).  However because I'm a long-time subscriber, don't think I'm in love with the magazine;  I think there are a lot of shortcomings, and plenty and room for improvement.

Most of the photography is wonderful and the cover photos are colorful (perhaps too colorful).  Most of the photos contained on the cover, and within, are what I call "Kinkaded" photos (after the late, popular painter, Thomas Kinkade), in that the color and light are so unbelievable, it doesn't even approach reality.  So okay, they are not literal photographs of the scene, they are "digital art" and an interpretation, so there's the escape clause.  As photographers we are supposed to be creative, should we not strive to create our own, unique interpretations of the world, rather than crank out the same photo-shopped photos that everyone else cranks out?

Also over the years, ever since the beginning of the magazine the editorial work has been a little rough.  I have read so many articles over the years, where the author refers to a photograph, and that photograph is no where to be found in the magazine.  Huh, what's up with that?  Doesn't anyone proof read the article before the magazine gets printed?!!

Perhaps, the biggest gripe I have with the magazine, is that it is clearly devoted to selling photo gear...it is a gear-selling rag.  Every year, they have articles like, "The Best Wide- Angle Lenses", "What to Shop for in a Tripod", "Be Like Ansel Adams", etc..  Yes, one cannot take photos without gear, but to overwhelming concentrate on that narrow topic is myopic.  I have read so many articles where an author writes about how they have used a new device in creating a photo, then as if by magic, at the end of that article, there is an advertising for that new device...what a coincidence!

All the photographer's woes are not solved by a new piece of gear...that would be way too easy on photographers, (buy a new device, and walla! the problem is solved).  I have long said that photo gear is only 5% of a photographer's problem in making a great photo, the bigger issue for photographers is composition, inspiration, seeing the light, is more important (and these can't be bought in a store).

There are many folks that say they are "outdoor photographers", but in reality they are "gear collectors", and indeed perhaps the majority engaged in this hobby, or profession, are gear collectors, so the magazine's bent toward gear buying is right up their alley.  I do not consider myself a "gear collector", so I make do with the magazine for so long, by over looking the gear-oriented articles and concentrating on the technical how-to articles, and creative inspiration articles.

Recently, I have became annoyed at the magazine in that I can find the articles on-line, before I even get my issue in the mail...there really is no advantage in subscribing anymore.  Now there are many more outdoor photography magazines, than when Outdoor Photographer debuted in the late 80's, perhaps it is time to consider these other magazines.


title: Four Stars

text: Great magazine. Provides a lot of ideas. Great inspiration. Next future home is a log home for us.


title: Wonderful magazine

text: I ordered this for my grandson last December when he was 3 1/2.  He absolutely loves it.  Every day he goes to the mailbox, hoping his magazine is there.  And he is so excited when it comes.  He and his Mom or Dad reads the entire thing cover to cover as soon as the magazine arrives.  He then wants to re-read it every day until a new one comes.  I have read the magazine to him many times.  We redo the Hidden pictures, and all of the puzzles as well.  I highly recommend this magazine, I just wish it came out more often!


title: One of the Best Magazines Out There

text: The BEST magazine coverage, writing, articles, facts.  Been a subscriber since it came on board.


title: Too many advertisements but good content

text: It has some very detailed wood working plans. I feel content can be found online for exactly what you are looking for but I do appreciate the detail in the wood working articles and the tips these professionals use. Skilled artisans for sure. I appreciate the tool recommendations. I’m looking for something that more detailed on basics. I am a beginner.


title: So interesting

text: This is a very interesting reading.


title: Interesting READINGS!

text: What I like about MUSE magazine is that it is so easy to read. Everything in it is so interest to know about and to read about it! I love all those readings that MUSE contains. I recommend it!


title: LOVVEABLE magazine

text: This is a children magazine. It contains a lot of staff, an English teacher wants. This is an authentic source of material. It is very well written magazine. Children from 6 - 12 will surely enjoy the stuff! As an EFL teacher, I highly recommend it. It can be a GREAT source of material, or as reference to design new material.


title: Up-to-date INFO

text: I love to read Popular Science because it is a very well written magazine. Science, technology, adn the most modern and up-to-date gadgets are inlcuded as well, so I keep on updated with what I really need to know.


title: loved it so much

text: It was great! I love reading about sports and learning everything about them!


title: Yoga only for girls?

text: ...guys can do it too!


title: National Geographic

text: This is a wonderful magazine. Timeless and beautiful. I love the photos and wonderful articles. It was a little strange in the beginning of the subscription, I got 2 different months at once, but not really a problem.


title: Did not receive my magazine and now they are saying ...

text: Did not receive my magazine and now they are saying it is for Kindle which I do not own. Constant holding to fix this issue. Very unhappy with this process and order. Would not do this again. Military term of a NO GO !


title: All You

text: Can't accurately rate this product at this time. I have not received my first magazine yet, but have heard great things about this magazine so looking forward to receiving it soon.


title: enjoyable

text: always have enjoyed this magazine. It is all about ME even though I am not young at 67.


title: Great for kids

text: My 9 year old loves this magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: As expected


title: Great magazine for the mechanically inclined

text: Purchased this for a Chanukah gift for my husband and it came earlier than expected. He loves this publication.


title: Meh

text: I was hoping that this magazine would grow on me, but after three issues, I'm underwhelmed. I signed up for a year subscription, so hopefully things will improve. I don't think the articles are particularly compelling, and there is a lot of editorializing that bleeds into articles. I'd be happy for articles about knife laws, but I don't need to see snarky one off comments in what should be an unrelated news story. I own this in print and on the kindle, and the formatting on the kindle is very poor, especially if I compare it to a magazine I read on the kindle like Guns and Ammo.


title: Far Better than I had expected

text:
I wasn't sure what to expect from Wired, but I thought I would give it a chance.  The first issue I received far exceeded my expectations.  I was thinking it would be a nerdy magazine that had a lot of articles on things I didn't care about, but I quickly found that most articles are very accessible.

The only downside of my ordering experience was the delay in getting a $5 credit at Amazon, but that had nothing to do with the magazine itself.


title: Packed with Interesting and Inspiring Information

text:
I love taking a long bath with this magazine on a rare quiet evening. Martha Stewart Living is a magazine that inspires me to break my blase routine and bake something, get crafty, or try growing a new herb from seed (and then subsequently using the herb in a new dish). It is so nice to pick up a magazine and not bother with the table of contents - just start at the beginning and read every article.

The writing is well done; descriptive yet concise with easy-to-follow instructions for the how to articles.

The ideas are fresh and unique. There is always something interesting and simple that I can make that will give me an activity to do, won't take all day, and will add interest or value to the overall project, be it dinner, a refinished piece of furniture, or my window box.

I think one of the big keys to success for this magazine is that it is something readers of all walks of life can enjoy. By that I mean that I am not a homeowner, I do not have a yard, I cannot put up crown molding or make drastic changes to my home, but I find significant value in the little ideas and projects in this magazine because 9/10 times it is something I can use or pursue. This is a big plus because I cannot make use of a lot of ideas in other magazines or on Pinterest because of my renter's situation.

I'm a fan and I just renewed for a second year. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.


title: Just a Conservative Magazine

text:
I wanted to find a magazine that would give logical and sound libertarian analyses on our country's issues. As a left-leaning libertarian, I often find myself agreeing with some of the logic of libertarianism but find it often not very practical. I didn't expect this magazine to be very different; but at the very least I was hoping that its analyses would be firmly in the vein of libertarian thought, perhaps in the style of Judge Andrew Napolitano, without succumbing to the foolish politics of the day.

Unfortunately, I was wrong.

This magazine frequently devolves into popular partisan themes and arguments that really don't hold up. For example, there is a lot of TSA bashing; blindly favoring economic libertarianism over environmental issues (as opposed to accepting climate science and finding a libertarian solution); pro-life stances; lazy over-simplified conservative arguments (unions hinder motivation of people)... so on and so forth.

I could accept the conservative-libertarian columns of the magazine if it was balanced with some left-leaning libertarian columns. but it doesnt even do that.

In the end, this is just a conservative magazine that utilizes some libertarian arguments to justify the standard conservative platform. its not about thought, not about searching for the truth, and certainly not about reason....


title: Well...

text:
You know, somehow I ended up with a free subscription to this magazine, and although I've been getting it for months it hasn't made much of an impression.

It's more balanced between gear and technique than say Popular Photography.  However, I'm sitting here trying to conjure up an interesting article from memory, and I'm getting nothing.

Outdoor photography is difficult from an artistic standpoint, but from a technique standpoint there's just not all that much to know.  Put your camera on a tripod when you can.  Worry about Lens flare.  Autofocus is good for rapidly moving animals.  Wait for the light.  Experiment with fill flash until you find a level that you like.  Ho hum.  You're not going to find any tips in this magazine on how to bring out the highlights of a B&W photo with farmer's reducer, or anything like that.  It's all on the blur-the-waterfall-with-a-slow-shutterspeed kind of level.

Anyways, a beginner might like it for a year or two, so I've given it 3 stars.


title: It's all about the reviews

text:
This definitely a magazine for gearheads.  It's pretty much just equipment reviews and advertisements.  I would have given it a higher rating but for two things:

1) I don't think I've ever seen Popular Photography not LOVE any piece of equipment.  The reviews can still be useful if you're just wondering what features the new gizmo has, but still, they ought to be a bit more critical if they're going to be such a review based magazine.

2) Many of the ads are from vendors with bad reputations.  I believe they make some sort of claim about requiring a certain level of honesty from anyone they sell ad space from, but it sure doesn't look like they have ever kicked anyone out of the magazine to me.

So what do you have when you have a magazine full of uncritical reviews, the occasional beginnerish article about technique, and a lot ads from stores of dubious virtue?  At best a 2 star magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Great publication for the wannabe do it your selfer.


title: Who ordered this

text: I didn’t order this?


title: Horrible formatting

text: Worst magazine I've ever tried to read. The formatting and articles are in such a weird layout that my eyes rolled.


title: All ads and things you can't afford

text: I am extremely sad with this so called magazine. It's full of ads, barely any articles and most of all things that I can't really afford. I make a good living and I love fashion but come on. Give some affordable options. This magazine does not reflect the common women. Many of us aren't going to go buy $700 boots.


title: No longer enjoy this magazine

text: Content has gone down hill significantly

text: Sent to my son.He loves them.

title: Ordered a 1 year subscription but only received 2 copies for the year...

text: I am only giving 3 stars because I thought I bought a 1 year subscription for my boyfriend and he has only received 2 so far this year and I ordered this awhile ago and it's been awhile since we've seen another issue of it.  Not sure what to do or who to ask, but if we aren't getting a full year subscription then I want a partial refund because we did receive 2 copies...but that's it.


title: In These Times is the best of the left

text:
If you are looking for an informative monthly on the left In These Times (ITT) offers thought-provoking commentary and articles that are pithy but not skimpy (a characteristic I sometimes find of the weekly The Nation).

Most importantly, ITT reports on labor every issue, an important component of the left, that is often neglected by other magazines of the left.

In These Times is a magazine that may be harder to find in a library. If you are interested, I suggest first visiting their website which allows you to read portions of the current magazine without paying anything.

The price for the magazine is very reasonable, and I personally find the magazine content more diverse and interesting than The Progressive.


title: Pale shadow

text:
Feels like a pale shadow of the magazine from my youth.

Analagous to the Radioshack of the 80's vs the Radioshack of today.

Both geeky institutions have lost their way while trying to stay relevant and alive.


title: A Classic gone astray - will not renew

text:
This has been my favorite business magazine and I've continuously subscribed to it for the past 15 years. The articles were indepth, intelligent, and thoughtfully written. And its business technology coverage was stellar.

Unfortunately, I fully agree the the recent reviewer comments that it is now a completely different animal since Bloomberg took over it a year ago. The change is akin to what happened to Coke when New Coke was introduced...a disaster! It is now colorful (as in, it will give you dizzies!), superficial in coverage, and completely lacks depth. It reads like a magazine written for 17 year olds who might lack an attention span to read a 5 page story! It was a classic that's gone astray. I'll not be renewing my subscription. I would recommend The Economist as an imperfect alternative. Although, it will not live up to the high bar set by the pre-Bloomberg-era BusinessWeek.


title: Mostly ads

text: The majority of pages in this magazine are ads. I bought it looking for stories and tips that were inspiring and, being at the end of my subscription, I find myself barely flipping through the pages and throwing this garbage away. So disappointing.


title: Me encantó!!

text: Me encanta esta revista. Todos los artículos son súper interesantes.


title: Inspiring home ideas

text: I’ve liked this magazine for some time now.  Great ideas for creative and thrifty decorating.


title: Best Tech Review Magazine Ever

text: This magazine reviews a lot of relevant hardware & software before & after it comes out.  I used it to determine the best Hard Drive to buy and the best inkjet printer.  Sweet.  Also.  You can buy individual copies at BAMM.com & save yourself over 100 bucks over the subscription here.


title: LOVE the mag

text: Still waiting for tote bag,LOVE the mag.


title: Fun Cars

text: We are car nuts - love to see what they are coming out with next.  Most are made of unobtainium, but it is fun to dream!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine.


title: Not really a fitness magazine anymore

text: This doesn't seem to be a fitness magazine anymore.  They seem to have done everything possible to disassociate themselves with the fitness magazine we all were accustomed too.


title: Awful Magazine! Not what it used to be!

text: This magazine is horrible.  A shadow of its former self. This magazine housed to be bright, colorful,  full of great products and clothes and half an inch to inch thick. It's like comic book size now, the covers are more dramatic "moody" with actors. It's just not the same and it's no wonder they were offering $5 before the holidays. I have literally thrown away an issue before even reading. I may even cancel a $5 subscription just so I dont have to deal with getting it in the mail.


title: One of America's finest remaining print magazines

text: Rolling Stone is still one of the best magazines available!  It strikes a fine balance between popular music, tv shows, movies, interviews, etc.  I'm always thrilled to receive a new issue in the mail and I'd be very sad if RS ever follows the trend of switching to digital-only.


title: Unneccessary

text: Too many ads like all mags and I can't afford anything in it.. Not even the make up! I didn't renew


title: You are paying them to send ads to your children

text: My son is a Nick fanatic so I thought the magazine would make a great X-mas gift.  I was dead wrong.  I counted them out.  Of the 85 page sides in the first issue, a full 40 of them are advertisements.  I am not saying that there are 40 pages with ads on them.  I am saying that, of the 85 page sides, a full 40 of them are full page ads.  Almost half of the entire magazine is full page ads.  Of course, the rest of the magazine is sprinkled with advertisements that take up only 1/4 - 1/2 of each page.  I decided to go through and cut out all of the full page ads and there was practically nothing left of the magazine.  I am cancelling my subscription because I refuse to pay Nick to bombard my son with advertisements.


title: Not like it used to be

text: I used to enjoy Good Housekeeping - actually looked forward to it. The articles were human interest and compelling. Now it seems women are to be superficial and interested only in beauty tips and ways to make things easier because so many woman are working outside of the home. Some may appreciate quick tips but what's needed most is an escape from the real world through the stories and articles that delve deeper than the color of lipstick. Hopefully, that's not lost forever.


title: Not Bad

text: I really liked the ability to view this on the kindle. Enjoyed the articles and the interviews with stars and athletes.


title: Probably won't renew

text: Print magazine arrives late and no tote.  The magazine itself is great as always.


title: Good Mag but Not In Kindle Format

text: A good magazine for writers . . . better than most any for the topic . . . BUT . . . unfortunately the publisher, Kalmbach, has unwisely chosen to not make it available for Kindle users although strangely available for the nook.  Too bad.


title: Very Imformative!

text: My husband (the bee keeper) loves this magazine. It is very helpful.


title: Great Girls magazine (bought for 8 yo)

text: My daughter LOVES this magazine, and I'm so glad we bought it for her.  The messaging is positive, and wholesome, as I expect from the brand.  Articles are geared towards creative expression, friendship, building self-esteem and body/self care.  I have never seen any information about boyfriends, makeup, or other more mature topics which I prefer to handle on my own at this young age. Additionally, no annoying advertising or materialistic 'fashion' advice, which I appreciate.  My 8 year old really enjoys the crafts and recipes, which are all geared towards the skill and ability of a young girl and usually don't require extra hands or out of the norm supplies. I plan to take this mag for her for at least the next 2 years and possibly beyond, as well as for her younger sister when she turns 8.  I wouldn't say this magazine is inappropriate for younger girls, but I don't think they would get as much enjoyment out of it.  This is ideal for the pre-tween/tween ages, in my opinion.


title: Love the magazine

text: Love the magazine. It has great ideas and tips. It is very helpful and knowledgeable on so many different projects. Thank you Handyman.

text: im truly inspired I really love this magazine.....


title: Used to be a much more enjoyable experience.

text:
I used to really enjoy the experience of flipping through the pages of Real Simple magazine. The images on the cover, the quality of the print always drew me in. And I always found interesting recipes.

Years later, buying this subscription, I realize what a difference it makes. There are still some nice images presented in articles, and the content is ok, but the Matt style and the lower quality of paper (not to mention what seems like 50% more ads) is really disappointing. The magazine used to seem like a special treat I’d give myself and now I feel like it’s hard for me to appreciate articles, having to wade through the bulk of advertisements. Its as if the Real Simple people decided presentation wasn’t as important and I miss what it used to be. Maybe this is just the subscription online version? I don’t know. I just know I’m not enjoying it as much.
Im not someone who usually judges a book by its cover and I did see other reviewers complaining a lot about the ads, but I decided to try and overlook them and give it a shot. I won’t be renewing my subscription.


title: Never Received First Issue and was CHARGED!!!

text: As I read some other reviews from the regular Highlights magazine I see that many others are in the same boat as I am. I ordered Highlights High Five on Dec 23, 2009 and today is May 7, 2010 and the first magazine has yet to hit our mailbox. I called the company and was told it will take 5-7 days to research this and give me an answer. I am VERY DISSATISFIED!!!! My child has been looking forward to getting this and now unfortunately is getting too old for this since it has taken 6 months and he is now over age 6. I don't even want to try and order the regular Highlights after reading that these people aren't getting their magazines either!!!! I have never seen such poor service! They have charged me for this and I wonder how long it will take to even get a refund! I am a big fan of Amazon, but they need to do something about their magazine venders!


title: Great Mag

text: Bought this as a gift subscription for a relative and he loves it.  Lots of great info on the Classic Bikes!


title: I mistakenly had the magazine sent to my address instead ...

text: I mistakenly had the magazine sent to my address instead of my grandson. The problem was taken care of and he loves the magazine.  Thanks.


title: The Sky is Falling

text: I used to read Harper's when I was a cynical 20-something. Now that I'm a somewhat less cynical 30-something, I just can't take the nearly hysterical atmosphere of gloom that pervades it. Life is grim for many around the world--always has been, always will. Wallowing in that grimness isn't in anyone's interest. Additionally, Harper's doesn't give voice to alternative political viewpoints--if they had their way, the editors would pack the courts, congress, and White House with liberals no matter the cost. This is a pluralist society and a magazine with the intellectual firepower of Harper's at its disposal should be strong enough to admit a range of views. Let the Harper's politburo have their funereal fun and read The New Yorker instead.


title: Love the large print of our favorite magazine

text: Love this magazine, great to be able to get it in large print


title: Enjoyable Read

text: Having read most every men's magazine over the years, Men's Journal has become my favorite.  I most enjoy the wide variety of articles.  I least enjoy a seeming preoccupation with sports I will never come close to trying (e.g., "Gear up for the upcoming season of back country helicopter skiing").  All in all, though, a good mix of articles on interesting people and places to visit.


title: Four Stars

text: Okay


title: Great overall magazine

text: I ride a cruiser and used to subscribe to Motrocycle Cruiser nad Cruising Rider. After they stopped publication of cruising rider, they sent me issues of rider and I enjoyed it. Covers all types of bikes including cruisers and have some very good travel reports.


title: Good mag

text:
ESPN magazine is a simple magazine. After reading it for a few months it is obvious their aim is to write one or two short and fun articles, then jam the rest of the magazine with random fun facts about sports. What is interesting is they started going into details of sports that I have always wondered about. For example they did an article on Payton Manning and Jeff Saturday and how they call plays from the line. Then right after that article they added an excerpt on the different types of routes receivers run, with pictures and notes. For the 2010 NFL draft they had an article on Jimmy Clausen and his throwing technique, then they added a excerpt on terms QBs use for proper technique.

Cons: Mag is filled with ads. Some stuff is obviously there just as filler.

This magazine gives you tons of tidbits and interesting information. Do not expect to see the detail and reporting Sports Illustrated goes into.


title: A Peek at Tomorrow

text: I love this magazine. It does not ask that you come with a degree in science or engineering to enjoy it. A great way to peek into the world of tomorrow. Always a fun and engaging read.


title: Great magazine

text: Rolling Stone is a unique magazine. Not just about the current music scene but a wonderful perspective on our world.


title: Five Stars

text: I ordered this for my husband and he loves it!


title: Four Stars

text: just what i expected


title: Great recipes Easy to follow

text: Super magazine!


title: Interesting stories.

text: I have always loved Reader’s Digest. I find out somethings I don’t know about.


title: Fun, curious and a little off-beat

text: I ordered this magazine on a whim during a promotion and both my husband and I are fans. My husband has previously remarked he would like to try keeping chickens and bees, and this magazine gives practical information and stories of those as well as on topics like container and community gardens. The content focuses on sustainable living without being preachy, with beautiful pictures. The magazine arrived quickly, within 2-3 weeks of placing my order. Most of the ads are in the back of the magazine, except when related to article content. Overall, the magazine is informative, a little quirky and fun.


title: All abount dance...

text: Great magazine for my dancing granddaughter!


title: They're a hit

text: My 11/2 year old has been getting this subscription for the last six months. When it's done I will be ordering the next level up. Some  of the issues left more to be desired by me HOWEVER my son brings all the issues to me a few times a day to read through them over to and over. So I guess that's what's most important.


title: Not the original at all. Recycle.

text: Not like the original at all. Very small and thin. Recycling


title: Railfan vs. the competition

text: Is literary quality something that should be expected in an enthusiasts' publication?  If so, "Railfan & Railroad" doesn't measure up to the competing publication from Kalmbach.  Or maybe I'm being unfair --  the writing and editing of neither "Railfan" nor "Trains" stands up well to the traditions of a generation ago, when the former was still guided by the late Hal Carstens, and the latter had not begun its (apparently) intentional descent into being a trade publication for the railroad industry, like "Railway Age". Maybe "Trains" had the literary edge in the Good Old Days. "Railfan" seemed the more amateurish, giving a place and voice to unrefined authors who just wanted to share their avocational excitement with like minds.  It should be noted that "Railfan" has emphasized, admirably, the photographic and videographic elements of the hobby since the editorship of Jim Boyd, which still appeals to this reviewer.  Yet neither magazine is the good read that it used to be, leaving me a bit unsatisfied, subscribing just to keep up with developments and current events in my hobby, and choosing this one because I dislike the commercial influence in the competition.


title: Great value and prompt delivery

text: Very prompt start of the subscription of a very high quality publication.


I rarely write reviews unless something is really good or really bad.  In this case, I'm very disappointed. I was excited to receive the first issue and am actually feeling a little scammed.  You don't know if you're reading an ad or an article in some cases because they look similar.  Other magazines have the courtesy of stating at the top of the page "This is an Advertisement".  One ad even cited who it was written by, as thought it was an article, but it was a coffee maker ad.

And the articles are about the quality of a blog, like "Ten tips for being a better business owner".  A lot of glossy fluff and a couple nuggets.

Sorry to come across so negative, I see others rate this 5 stars.  I should probably stick to books or journals and you should too if you're looking for educational material.


title: Four Stars

text: interesting- good stuff


title: Very creative ideas

text: Really enjoy this creative, family magazine. My 9 yr old daughter and I love it. The quality of it is 5 star worthy; the markdown is because you only get 4/6 issues a year.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent magazine


title: Not happy

text: I’m not happy with this subscription last magazine was also late ??? I’m not going to order this again so disappointed!!


title: Mandatory reading

text:
Foreign Affairs is mandatory reading for the serious student of global diplomacy.  The comments, essays and book reviews in this bimonthly publication are always well researched, written and presented in a straightforward fashion.  Moreover, Foreign Affairs will consistently crystallize contemporary thinking on a vast array of foreign subjects.

I often wonder how Editor James Hoge manages to regularly tap the finest minds in the world for each issue.  Certainly, the editorial staff of this outstanding publication is dedicated to the highest standards of excellence as well making sure that Foreign Affairs represents provocative worldwide cutting edge schools of thought.

Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Russia, France, Mexico or Colombia...you name it, Foreign Affairs examines it in great detail.  To this end, there is no hot spot in global affairs that does not considerable academic or journalistic attention.  Foreign Affairs will also focus on sensitive issues such as French Anti-Americanism or Bush's Nuclear Follies with clear and concise observations.  I cannot think of a mainstream publication in the United States with the courage and vision to cover such important ground.

text: Great magazine.  Fun recipes.  Very colorful!!  It will allow me to "cook outside the box."  Love the little "cookbooks" that you can tear out and keep.


title: Not So Good...!!!

text: Many of the articles didn't really interest me maybe because the content that they were writing about had no pazazz.....pictures that were used were not color but rather black n white..all n all I would not recommend this magazine but if u would like a good historical magazine that is  very good I would tell u to check out Natinal Geographic History..... Excellent magazine ..!!!

title: For the all-around creative type...

text: This is the magazine for you!!! I just got my first issue and the projects were AWESOME! It ranged from no-brainer crafts that you can actually make money with, to home furnishing! Plus, it's up to date...not your grandma's or even your mother's craft book! I love this thing and I can't wait to get home and try the projects!!!


title: If one likes antique tractors

text: Too much farming & not much ranching covered


title: Love it

title: Like Nat'l Geo?  You'll like this.

title: Better than any US-based Home Design Magazine

text:
One of my favorite magazines and has been for a good 5-6 years.  I made the mistake several years ago of subscribing directly through the magazine's website thinking I might qualify somehow (I was obviously delusional) for some of the subscribers' benefits but then I discovered that with the then current exchange rate my AMEX card was charged about $160 for a one year subscription. Ouch.  That was the end of my subscription and since I live in NYC I've been buying every month's issue at a local newsstand for $10.  If you don't have that option where you live, the cost of the Amazon subscription is just a little bit more than I'm paying per issue which isn't terrible, all things being relative, of course.

I look forward to it every month and often wait to purchase it late in the week so I can look at it over a glass of wine, or two, during the weekend because I like to take my time and enjoy it.  Like any magazine, some months are better than others but every issue seems to have a gem or two and I incorporated several ideas I'd seen in the magazine in my recent apartment renovation with great results.  All in all, highly recommended for someone with modern tastes and maybe a bit of wander lust thrown in for good measure.


title: Waning Fan

text: It strikes me as odd that such a magazine offers print OR digital subscriptions but doesn't give a print subscriber digital access (like the New Yorker). I've been a subscriber for years but am thinking of letting my subscription lapse and buying the occasional copy from a newstand. $25 is more than a lot of magazine subscriptions these days and I'm not sure it's worth it. (Take the same $25 and get iTunes Music Match instead!)


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine, love the content.


title: Still A Mailbox Pleasure

text:
Have always enjoyed the Magazine from day 1, even though it is not the same  quality it was
when it originated. The size and art production reflect cost challenges of the industry. We do
enjoy the email features as a bonus.


Used to buy this magazine years ago and loved all the tips. Unfortunately now instead of a lot of great ideas it is mostly advertisements.

title: Love This Little Magazine

text: I love this little magazine. Its been around for many, many years but I had let my subscription lapse. When I saw this price for one I immediately ordered it. Very happy with this. Love the size of it, it fits in my purse and the articles are so interesting and informative.


title: Five Stars

text: Quick and easy renewal.


title: Garzia UK

text: Great print quality and delivered weekly on time, a fun way to stay in the UK fashion and gossip loop.


title: Popular Science

text: I will not subject my children to the sexual nature of the advertisements in this magazine. It is outrageous, and of course varies from issue to issue, but don't be fooled- they are in cahoots with the rest of the media trying to pervert our children so we can have more perverted adults, no thank you! Put that crap somewhere else, it is unnecessary in a kids/teen geared magazine.


title: Poor Customer Service and Conde Nast Advertising Offers that Can't be Accepted

text: I am trying to subscribe to Wired.  I keep getting invites for one year subscription for $5.  But the Wired Subscription website keeps crashing during the purchase process.  Amazon will not honour the offer (because I live in Australia) but Wired says that the offer is valid in Australia.  The Conde Nast website will not let me update my subscription (I already subscribe to New Yorker).  The email addresses for customer support on their websites do not work.  The call centre is always closed when I call.


title: The issues keep getting thinner

text:
I didn't renew my subscription to this magazine after being a subscriber for well over 10 years.  The ads increased and the content decreased.  I suppose that might be due to the economic crunch and hope it's only temporary.
Also they frequenlty chang the organization and layout which I found frustrating.
Finally, I would read about new technologies on the Internet and months would pass before any mention was made in PC magazine.  I don't think the product reviews are very in depth, and often discovered lots of bugs on products they recommended.
I think it's a magazine for a dying age, and I'll miss it.


title: Loving Pointe

text: Pointe exceeded my expectations.  I actually received two issues, first the July issue, and the reason I ordered the magazine in the first place, ballerinas who are women of color, specifically Misty Copeland.  I love it, and so does my 3-year old.  We look forward to receiving all of our Pointe issues but I'm so happy with my first issue for July.  I can't believe it, I got my subscription for $5.00.  Thank you Amazon and thank you Pointe.  It's a beautiful publication.  Loving it.


title: Five Stars

text: I just wish she wouldn't let them photo shop her body.


title: Good buy

text: This is one of the few magazines that I personally think is worth every penny. Loaded with tons of recipes with wine pairing suggestions, it seeks to please both wine and non-wine drinkers. It features chefs from all over the world with their creations, which sometimes shows us just how much work is put into a great dish we have enjoyed in one of their restaurants. Ads in this magazine is relevant to the reader of the magazine and the frequency of it does not overwhelm the content of the magazine. I highly recommend this for any food or food and wine lover.


title: Popular Japanese Teen Fashion Mag

text: This was the first Japanese magazine I had ever perused and I was pretty impressed by all the pretty, yet conservative models.  Some of the fashions are wacky and funny to the American reader, but that's what they go for.  Some fashions, however, find their way into the US scene years later.  Keep that in mind.  The Japanese are, for the most part, trendsetters.  Hong Kong and Taiwan just copy them.  Most of the magazine is in color but the black and white section is probably just horoscopes, advice and interviews.  I don't know.  I can't read Japanese.  It's alright because the pictures are entertaining enough.  By the way, the Japanese have a ravenous obsession with shoes.  Whatever nobody else is really wearing, they'll wear it.  I hear that their fashion changes each week.  I wonder how much money they spend on clothes...


title: Best source of information, if that's all you have.

text:
My nephew was sentenced to 24 years in the "Ham" for a stupid stunt when he was 17 (attempted robbery with two 16 year old boys).  The "Ham" is an old state prison near Lovelady, Texas.  Clyde, from Bonnie and Clyde, served time there.  There are no TVs, little access to outside information, no air conditioning or heating, and certainly no cell phones.

Families are not allowed to send gifts.  The only option families have is to pay a publisher to send books and magazines.  Even these are reviewed by the prison officials for "acceptable" content.  You can't send holiday gifts, nothing but letters, books and magazines.  I received an official letter from a prison official saying "you can't send extra stamps in your letters.. it's a 'violation'".

Well my nephew loves USA Today!  It's the best source of news and cultural information that's printed daily, and it's a great holiday gift.  His release date is not for another 4 years, but since rehabilitation is mostly "virtual" in Texas, USA Today is helping to prepare him for the shock he'll have when he steps outside that prison after 24 years.  Without USA Today he wouldn't know much about cell phones, personal computers, gps devices, etc.  Now when we visit him, we can talk politics, technology and national events with him.  Without USA Today our conversations revolve around prison food with is pretty bad.


title: a good learning tool

text: I subscribed to practice reading in Spanish. I have also learned a lot about many famous people in the Spanish speaking world.


title: The Greatest music magazine on the planet...

text: The Wire is the definitive source for infomation and thought regarding experimental, avant garde, or forward thinking music. My eyes and ears have been opened. The Wire has helped my musical tastes and knowledge evolve exponentially in the past 3 years. I consider the Wire to be akin to a scholarly journal...it's much more than you're average glossy Americanized-advertisment filled rags. This publication is a well needed antidote to today's profit driven, corporate controlled media garbage that we are constantly bombarded with. I know of nowhere else where Sun Ra, the Boredoms, Cannibal Ox, Miles Davis, Sonic Youth, the Grateful Dead, and Venetian Snares can peacefully co-exist with Kid 606, Merzbow, Albert Ayler, Tom Waits, John Cage, Autechre, and Bjork.  I highly reccomend this magazine to anyone with discriminating tastses and intelligence. Well-written, and often including excellent CD's that you'll actually want to listen to, The Wire is definately worth the elevated import price, and a true journalistic treasure.


title: Not what I expected

text: Other than the major networks there's not much listing that I can use. I found "TV Guild" strong on advertising, acceptable on cable listing but very weak on those of us that still depend on over-the-air TV.


title: Horrible Service

text: 6 Month Subscription, why did I only receive 1 issue!  This Magazine is the greatest but NOT from this service.  All my other Amazon subscriptions have made me very happy with the services. but not this one.  Sorry.....


It is about 10 pages, with interesting articles on composers, playing techniques, instruments etc. It also includes quizzes and puzzles based on the articles. Our child especially liked the articles on the playing techniques. In one of the articles they discussed slow playing that showed the difficulty involved in it and the various things to pay attention to. They include compositions of other children, and that encouraged our child to think about it. :)


title: Food Network Magazine

text: Love the magazine.  And the price is right.


title: Four Stars

text: couldn"t stop reading and meantime almost drove over a cliff!


title: Smut in sheep's clothing

text: I ordered this magazine for my son since he is an UBER Sports fan.  I had no idea about the "Body" issue which we just received this month.  Apparently, ESPN magazine thinks that soft porn somehow celebrates the human body.  The human body IS a fascinating machine.  I am ALWAYS amazed at how God works out every detail to make a healthy body perform so flawlessly. HOWEVER, the human mind is ALSO fascinating. Science has proven that men's brains and women's brains function in different ways.  This magazine - marketed to men generally - totally blew it with the Body issue.  Instead of celebrating the human body and how high performance athletes beat their bodies into submission to perform at will, this issue conjures up NOTHING but sex as the athletes are NUDE but have cleverly placed props, arms and/or legs to cover the nipples and/or pubic hair.  I don't mean to sound crass, but those are the ONLY things covered.  If the woman is well-endowed, all of her breast is showing ... except the nipple.  If the man or woman agreed to a bikini wax, well, you get the picture...  It's pornographic, and it's evident that was the intention.  Hidden in the back of the issue is an article on what I can only assume is the athletes who refused to pose nude.  They are clad in boxer-brief-type shorts and bra/panty type sets.  The pictures in this article show just as much about the athletes' bodies as the other, but one can actually concentrate on the content of the article without their mind wandering to the trashy pictures.  Let's face it - SEX SELLS, but it doesn't get MY money.  I would have been ASHAMED if my son had actually gotten the mail the day this came...

title: Written by true travelers who seek to have a wonderful authentic experience.

text: That many articles are written by folks who like to travel. The places are not all so horribly expensive like Conde Nast and Travel and leisure.<br />Lots to actually read. So many magazines write articles and reccomend places maybe suited to twenty somethings, this is for people over forty.

title: The one magazine I spend money on every month

text: Wired magazine is the ONE magazine I buy and devour every month. In most cases the featured story is deep, compelling and challenges me to want to learn more. I've crafted blog posts and set out on wildly extravagant investigative learning journeys all thanks to a story or editorial I've fed on in Wired. Special treats are Chris Anderson's pieces. For techies, culture mavens, info-geeks, gear-heads, Internet business folk, trend junkies....


I find the best down home easy to make receipes in this magazine. They never let me down, always delicious, crowd pleasers, or just for cooking during the week I can ALWAYS find something scruptions in here. I have shared many receipe's out of the magazine with my friends and family and they were just as impressed as me. Thanks so much for all the yummy shared love in the kitchen.


title: Country Living

text: I enjoy this magazine because decorating and living advice is down to earth. I look forward to receiving each month.


title: LOVING IT!

text: Living in Maine, this normally wouldn't be my first pick for magazines, but there is something so comforting about the South.  I love the vibe you can only get in the south.  This magazine is fantastic for people who want that Southern feel without being there.  All the ideas are things that can be found ANYWHERE so it makes it a great choice for me.  Love, love, LOVE this magazine!


title: What goes around...

text: Disgusting, bigoted trash of a "magazine".  They will not receive any of my support and I look forward to them shuttering quickly after everyone forgets about this debacle.

title: AWESOME!

text: Got a great price and as this was a Christmas gift for my son, it was a HIT! He was very excited to get this!


title: Print is too small.

text: Magazine would be more enjoyable to read if you  could just pick it up and skim through it without having to hunt up the bifocals.
