title: Super high-quality writing

text: A few years ago I was looking for a magazine to subscribe to and was drawn to the extremely positive reviews of Harper's. Have now been subscribing for several years straight. I do not consider myself really high brow, so I am probably not adequate to the task of reviewing a magazine, but I will do my best. The writing in this is super high quality--it appears the most important consideration for anything published in the magazine is the quality of the prose. I don't know where they find their writers--I imagine a very small number would be capable of writing for this magazine. I believe the first piece I ever read in Harper's was one written by a former archeology student who visited some of the old abandoned movie sets from the Star Wars movies. I remember being blown away by the high register of the vocabularly and the fantastic story telling and the extremely clever premise. The writing in the magazine often approaches the poetic. Personally I like the nonfiction pieces, esp. on politics and pop culture, and generally have not taken the time to read the fiction offerings or the reviews. I assume the magazine editors would identify the magazine as trying to reach a quite liberal audience. I am independent politically but do not find myself turned off by the magazine, as I am by political talk radio/TV. There are certainly pieces of political advocacy in here, but in my opinion the arguments are nuanced enough, with recognition of counterarguments, that reading this is not like listening to one-sided garbage such as we will find from Limbaugh, Hannity, Maddow, and their ilk. The writers generally recognize there are no simple solutions. For example, a piece in which an undercover writer examined food inspection practices in a slaughterhouse ended with the writer eating and more or less enjoying a steak--not the regular expose piece. I must admit that I most like the Harper's "index" and the readings at the beginning, especially the readings included for their irony or unintentional humor. Frankly, if I subscribed to Atlantic or the New Yorker I would probably read a greater perctange of those magazines because those mags do not seem quite as high brow, but I cannot deny the quality of Harper's.

ALWAYS LOVED READER'S DIGEST!  CAN'T BEAT THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE OF $5.00!


title: Articles good.. paper quality not so much

text: I've ben buying LHJ for years especially since I've become a wife/mom. So when I saw a chance to subscribe at a bargain basement price, I jumped at it! My first issue arrived before the scheduled start of my subscription so I was thrilled. However, although the articles were good (this months "Can this marriage be saved?" was REALLY good), I found the paper quality, and the color, etc, a little on the poor side.  Could this be the reason for the bargain basement price?  Don't let this dissuade you from subscribing anyhow. After all we're all supposed to be recycling anyway

text: my husband like  the mag.


title: Great General History Magazine

text: This is a fantastic history magazine that deserves to be read in hard copy and not on Kindle because of all the beautiful color illustrations and the great layout throughout the entire magazine including the ads.  I know it arrives later in hard copy here in the States, but since this American can't attend a lecture in London or watch the BBC, it makes no difference.  I look forward to its arrival every month.


title: Excellent buy

text: Love this magazine and all the ideas and helpful hints.  Also get to learn more snouts the chefs and the shows.


title: Love This Magazine

text: This is one magazine I would miss terribly if I didn't get it each month. I love western boots and everything western, Photography clothes, well everything that C&I puts in their book. What a fun way to enjoy your days or evenings. Love it. Keep it  coming. Thanks Cowbys & Indians.

Great satisfaction.


title: You mean there was something to read?

text:
So I was looking for "something new" and saw this at my local outdoor store, so I thought I'd grab the last two issues and give it a try.  FAIL!!!!  The text is so small that I needed a magnifying glass, and most of that is because the ads on each page are so big.  It was constantly hard to tell, am I reading an actual article, or is this a paid ad?  What am I looking at, oh, well, it's fine print, it must be an ad, but wait the next page is a continuation?  Well let me try to see where the article starts.  Couldn't figure out where it starts and where it ends.  I know there were some product reviews and I enjoy those, but again, they were so heavy with the ad pages, it was hard to disseminate what was an actual user review, vs. a paid ad.

Very overwhelming with the amount of content on each page.  So much so, I just kept flipping.  Can't say I'll be subscribing to this rag anytime soon.


title: It is a trend....you don't get all your issues you paid for.

text: I paid for 2 years starting in April.  I have received 1 magazine this year.  You are supposed to get 4.  I figured only 3 would come as I started late.  I have contacted them twice.  I get a response "I'll take care of it".  So far no magazine...if you like the magazine---buy it at a Barnes and Noble.  Do not subscribe.  UPDATE-- I checked with the BBB and they have an F rating.  Buyer beware.


title: Five Stars

text: love it


title: i love it!

text: i love it!


title: back issues came that we already had.

text: The problem that happens when you change magazine providers is that at the beginning of the subscriptions they send back issues, causing a loss of one to two months of issues at the end of the subscription.  We already had the January and February issues.  We wish they had begun with the March magazine, which would have been just right.  Guess the rate figures at a less than best when you take the "back issues" problem into account.


title: For the really serious guitarist

text: Having played on and off for over 35 years, this is a great magazine if you're heavily in the "on" mode but is very high end if you're trying to make your way back from "off" to "on". I tend to prefer "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" but that reflects my rock orientation and need for simpler explanations even after all these years.


title: Candy, but yum

text: I've subscribed on and off for years, mostly on. It's pure fluff and I tear through my issues within a day or two, usually sending them to recycling before they are off the newsstand. Yet, I miss it when I don't have the recaps and overview of the entertainment scene.<br />Admittedly, I skip the music section entirely. I miss the old media/tech section where they reviewed game software, but as they probably recognized, there's better and free stuff on these topic already out there.


title: Five Stars

text: Good item, Thank you.


title: Great Geek Magazine.

text:
If you are *really* into computers (especially hardware) then this mag is for you. Oh it does cover software as well (especially games) but this is a mag for those into the gear.

Much of it is aimed at the DIY and gamer crowd, but for those who aren't all that into that (like me), it's still a good reference with a lot of useful information and reviews.

The only thing I don't think much of is the monthly CD.  Much of the software is somewhat dated by the time you get it and most if not all if it is available for download on the Internet (and you usually get newer versions).

If you're really into games, then the CD might be a good choice thanks to the game demos (which can be sizable downloads) but as far as the other stuff is concerned, it's mostly worthless.

Save yourself the expense and get the subscription without the CD (which Amazon doesn't seem to offer - but it does exist).  Even if you are into games you might find that only a few of what they put on the CDs are of interest and your cost will still be lower by just downloading it.


title: Great Magazine

text: Should Have Purchased long time ago.


title: NG Kids is not a magazine

text: This is basically a platform for advertising with many ads and only a few good articles, pictures or activities sprinkled here and there.<br />Also. I have also experienced countless problems with the delivery of the "magazine" until we finally decided to cancel and request a full refund.


title: good way to keep up with current styles

text: I ordered this magazine for my daughter.  She loves it because she can see outfits as well as lower cost alternatives and where to buy them.


title: Excellent magazine

text: I love archaeology and this magazine is very informative and current with its information.


title: Good quality magazine

P.M. is just a darn good mag.

text: My 3 year old granddaughter loves this magazine!  It was a great gift!


title: I love this magazine!

text: This magazine has helpful suggestions, great tips for saving money and time, has tips on beauty and fashion and the coupons are well worth the price of the magazine.  Each month I save a ton- the coupons are actually for things I would normally purchase so its not a lot of coupons for stuff you wouldnt use.  I cant wait to get this magazine every month and I have purchased it for others as gifts.


title: Great magazine

text: This was a gift for my wife & she loves it. Lots of interesting articles & great coupons, she is looking forward to future issues.


title: If you're really bored....

text: This magazine is okay, but not my favorite.  Good if you have nothing else to read.


title: Still true to its mission

text: S&T was originally developed for amateur astonomers and over its history it has remained true to that mission.  That's why there are so many ads and features on equipment.  I've been subscribing for about thirty years and have seen many changes to the magazine (I still miss the old cursive "Sky" in the banner but, oh well).  On the whole, I think the quality and depth of the articles on cosmology and astrophysics have improved over the years and new features, such as the mission updates, have improved the magazine's coverage.  And the gorgeous photography!  Yes, many of these are Hubble images or are made with sophisticated equipment.  However, contrary to some reviewers' remarks, superb images, sometimes comparable to some of the images in the magazine, can still be made with a good 8 or 10 inch instrument in the backyard, especially with the advances that have been made in CCD imaging.  S&T remains the best in the field for amateurs and for anyone with an interest in astronomy.

text: A terrific, literate cooking magazine that combines advice on cooking and baking techniques and excellent, easy-to-follow, well-tested recipes for creative and scrumptious everyday, special, seasonal and holiday meals, appetizers, baked goods, etc. Always a fun, interesting and educational read - it's like the New Yorker of cooking publications! A great gift for novice or experienced cooks.


title: Liberal political hacks

text: Just cancelled my subscription. I have subscribed in the past and enjoyed looking at the fashion and beauty for inspiration. Last issue totally turned me off. Total leftist views with  "Talk of the Town" layout. Surprised antifa masks not in the layout. Sorry but conservatives views also exist. By the way I'm not a  white male but a minority woman. We are also consumers. Show all sides or just say your magazine is just for liberals. Will never purchase anything linked to Elle.


title: Loved it...when I was nine.

text:
I must say that I've read just about every teen magazine on the market, and this is by far the worst one I've ever read. However, at this point in my life, everything appears superficial and immature.

I first picked up Twist when it debuted on newsstands. I believe that was in August 1997. I was nine then, and looking to be fashion forward among my girlfriends who were still into the Jungle Gym. Because of my insane desire to be cool, and because Twist wasn't too hard for me to understand, I loved it and bought it religiously for about a year. My obsession with it slowly faded as the magazine got progressively worse and I didn't pick it up again...

...until my junior year in high school. Looking through a then-current issue of the magazine, I noticed that the way in which it was written was MADE to be comprehensible to a nine year-old, or the lowest common denomination of older teenage readers. What I'm trying to say is this magazine is totally dumbed-down. It doesn't give girls any credit for being able to think creatively, let alone read above a fourth-grade level.

I also found the content to be more childish and superficial than other teen magazines (although they are all superficial to an extent - that doesn't mean they don't make delightfully fun and entertaining reading to share with friends). Therefore, I recommend this magazine to tweens (9-13), and tweens only. But even they can do better than this magazine. Older readers should check out the somewhat more sophisticated 'Elle Girl' or 'Cosmo Girl', my two personal favorites.

P.S. I agree with one of the other reviewers who pointed out the numerous spelling errors in the magazine. Possibly my biggest caveat is the constant misuse of the apostrophe (i.e. Tuesday's instead of Tuesdays).


title: It used to be a quality magazine, but it's gone downhill

text:
I am a longtime Atlantic subscriber, but I'm letting my subscription expire in April. It's just not the magazine that it once was. There are fewer and fewer long, analytic and informative articles and more short, shallow pieces that seem to be aimed at people with short attention spans. I find myself skipping past section after section without reading it. I am in search of another magazine to fill the void, but I'm afraid in these days of declining journalism standards, there are none left published in the USA.

I recently received a postcard from The Atlantic stating that my subscription would be automatically renewed and my credit card charged unless I intervened to change that procedure. Auto-renewal is a tactic that many lesser-quality magazines have long employed. I am sorry to see The Atlantic stoop to their level. I never knowingly subscribe to magazines that put me on auto-renew without my consent, and I certainly never knowingly gave The Atlantic permission to repeatedly charge my credit card.

Good-bye, Atlantic. It's been a good run, but it's time for us to part.


title: Arrived much sooner

text: I got this magazine for my husband as a present. It arrived much sooner than the anticipated date which I appreciate. He enjoys these types of magazines and it was an excellent deal.


title: Get a haircut and then get a job. Clean your act up, and dont be a slob.

text:
It said on a cover, LOOK BETTER INSTANTLY! So I bought a subscription to this magazine because, you know, just having the subscription turns you into the guy on the cover without any work. I immediately saw muscle mass increase, chiseled jaw, deeper booming voice, and women flocked to me like I worked as a erotic novel writer, fireman, astronaut, cowboy, guitar player, part time underwear model and was a millionaire. Ok, maybe it wont work the same for you, but the magazine might attract a woman when she sees it on your table knowing you are at least hopefully masculine which in itself seems to be more rare these days and read Men's Health because you want to be the healthiest you can be or just get some general knowledge.

I wont complain about the magazine changing over time, and apparently paying for a magazine subscription doesnt remove the nearly half of it thats filled with ads.  Todays issues still do contain some useful advice on working out, fitness, sex, grooming tips, nutrition, and occasional articles you wont want to skip. The working out and fitness are more detailed, while the nutrition and health dont always go in depth. For example talking about the huge problem of infertility was basic about alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, diet and exercise rather then the real issues like endocrine disruptors in plastics, chemicals, estrogens from heavy metals and other sources, emf/wifi etc.  Get a haircut...and then get a job. Clean your act up, and dont be a slob. At least you can rub those samples of colognes over you which might help your chances since women respond to scent more then bank account balances.


title: Need to rev my delorean up to 88 mph to get some entertainment again

text:
If everything in your home is selling as a vintage collectible on ebay, you might be getting older... And print magazines such as EW have changed as well... Gone are the seasoned movie critic, gone are the long term writers.. I think they replaced their staff to be 'hip' to the new generation, but I dont think they have the same ability to find interesting reads, and maybe lack some of the humor and experience.  So instead of reading some entertaining articles or finding some interesting movies, books or music you may not have come across, its more about just whats popular on tv, in the movies, streaming, and released in books and music along with some rehash of mainstream entertainment news...

Apparently I need to rev my delorean up to 88 miles per hour (141.6 km/h), which will activate the flux capacitor to get some entertainment again. I'll make sure its full of plutonium so I dont get stuck in the past.  After traveling back in time, I'll remember to not interfere too much with other things, Id hate for you all to disappear as if you never were born.

title: Beautiful illustrations, handy tips, complicated recipes

text:
I like to read Cook's Illustrated at the library.  Their magazine is much too expensive for the small amount of recipes included within. I like the tips sent in by readers, and some of the product reviews.

I have found that most of their recipes are very involved--nitpicky, to be kind.  The lemon meringue pie recipe--which I tried from their "America's Test Kitchen" cookbook--calls for cooking cornstarch in water, cooling it, and then beating the solution into the meringue. Supposedly this keeps the meringue from destabilizing.  All that happened in my kitchen was I found little lumps of cornstarch glue at the bottom of my mixing bowl while scraping out the meringue.  I have made meringue before without cornstarch, and can't help thinking this is an extra step that isn't neccessary. Their "best" brownies are good, but I can make equally good brownies without all the extra steps involved in melting chocolate and cooling it, etc.

If you're looking for easy, fool proof recipes, that don't take a gazillion steps and aren't fussy about exactly what ingredients you use, this isn't the magazine for you.

Good reviews, good pictures, decent articles. At the very least, its the best we have in the US. The UK have better mags but they cost a fortune to subscribe to over here.

If you want to read the party line about how bad we have been and the world can only be saved by going green, green, green, and we are the cause of all bad things, this is the magazine for you.  I may be overreacting, and I kind of like to read what the other side is up to, but I find this magazine pedantic, preachy, and tiresome.

I'm a car guy. I like cars, but I'm not a car nerd, I don't understand all the technical terms a real car buff would use when talking about cars. This is why Car and Driver is perfect for me. It appeals to the enthusiast inside me yet presents their reviews and previews in a way that's easy to digest and understand. Not to mention it is a pleasure to read. This is a great way to stay up to date with the auto industry and I also find it educational. I've learned quite a few things about cars just from reading this magazine, but one of the biggest and best things I've learned is about making an informed decision on car buying.

Thanks to the reviews in this magazine, as well as a combination of Internet research I feel confident my next car purchase will be the best I can get with the available funds that I'll have. Not only that, but I can help others in their car buying decisions.

Speaking of car buying decisions, not all of us can afford to really buy what we want. Some people write letters in to the magazine, complaining that they talk too much about expensive cars that some of us will never be able to afford. You should ignore these letters. While you may no be able to afford some of the cars, the way the writers describe what it's like to drive them is excellent. They're really good at describing how it feels to get behind the wheel, and again, this just emphasizes what I said about making an informed decision, no matter what your budget.


title: Wired Writers Need to Stop Drinking the Apple Kool-Aid

text:
I have no complaints about the writing style of the articles written in this magazine. There is some good journalism in here. However, I do not like the fact that the writers live in an "iWorld". I feel like none of them know about any alternatives to Apple products and it gets annoying. They also can't seem to go an issue without mentioning Twitter for no good reason.

I also hate the sections where they review things none of them are qualified to review. For example, car reviews. If I want to know what car to purchase, I'd buy a magazine like Car and Driver or Motor Trend. Another example, in one issue they reviewed "PC gaming gear". They had a surround sound headset there, I can't remember which. It wasn't that good, it was a 5.1 setup. They didn't give it such a great review. I wondered why they had chosen that headset, I have a Logitech G35, this has 7.1 surround sound and is far superior to the headset Wired chose. Again, if you want product reviews, this isn't the magazine for you.

Despite the above complaints, there are some interesting articles worth reading and sharing with friends.


title: Left.

text: Sad.


title: It used to be great

text:
There are so few magazine publishers these days.  This used to be a great magazine, but like so many other little magazines, it has been sucked up by a larger publishing house and the overall quality has suffered ever since.

It is interesting to read about the absolute best products that are out there, but it would also be cool and helpful to review all classes, from low to mid to high end.  The truth about electronics is that you can get a huge improvement in quality by spending more, but once you reach a certain level of quality you have to shell out even more money for just small increments of quality.  So why focus on the upper mid range and high end only?


title: Interesting

text: This is an interesting magazine because while it often offers reviews for products that I could never afford, it does sometimes expose exotic products as worthless, and will even praise a very simple and inexpensive product over a more expensive one.


title: Psuedo Science

text:
I used to read this regularly, but then there was a review for a very expensive turntable.  The reviewer made a recording of a vinyl LP onto a CD and then compared that CD with the comercially released CD.  His comments were that the CD he recorded from the record sounded better than the commercially available CD.

Assuming that the record and CD came from the same master, then the only difference the reviewer was hearing was distortion.  I could swallow an argument that maybe an LP sounds better than a CD, (I don't really think that, but just for the sake of argument), but then, how could it still sound better than a CD once it's been converted to a CD.

This article caused me to loose all faith in the integrity and logic of this magazine.


title: Not a reliable source

text: This magazine reads like it's just quoting from press releases.  It does not seem to be a neutral or well informed source of information.

title: Getting too uppity

text: I like SL because it is supposed to be a down to earth,geared to every day people magazine.I stopped my subscription,because they are getting to be too high brow,and pretentious,reason I also stopped my subscription to Coastal Living for the same reasons.I am interested in everyday people,not the rich folks who have 7 homes decorated by Hollywood celebrities.same goes for their recipes,which I cherished at one time,you might as well buy Bon Appetit,where all their recipes would cost an arm and a leg.Very disappointed.(subscription I also stopped,a long time ago).With the times we are having,I feel these magazines are way out of touch.I understand the need to dream,but they are getting  ridiculous.


I read with interest other reviews about SL.  I, too, have been a subscriber for years and have noticed that it's not like the old ones I used to get.  The new magazine is filled with advertisement, including articles with promos for places you can lodge, eat and be entertained.  I wondered if the businesses mentioned in the articles are paying for the advertising they received in SL.  I usually pay for a subscription for myself, my daughter and daughter-in-law every year.  However, this year the subscription prices increased but the quality of the magazine has not improved.  If I renew, it will cost me $84 at the Holiday Discount rate.  I'm thinking of not renewing.

text: Enjoy the magazine and the fashion shown


title: empty content...

text: only ads, and i just dont connect with this magazine, only anorexic models, unreal, and no content at all...i dont relate to the magazine, it feels unrealistic to me......i guess becuase i could never buy any of the products here everyone is so damn skinny.... never going to buy it again...


title: No longer an escape

text:
I enjoyed this magazine 10 years ago as a peaceful, eye candy escape about simplifying life and self care.

Now it’s admonishing me to talk to my family members about climate change and be an anti-racist. So much for a peaceful escape, now it’s just shaming me and instilling fear like every other media outlet in my life. I’m canceling... plenty of places get those for free.


title: Never Showed up

text: Unfortunately I still have not recieved a single issue of my order. I ordered in May...it's now almost September. Do not order if you want to get it anytime soon. Also, Redbook only allows emails for contacting. There is no customer service hotline....very unprofessional if you ask me.

title: Not nearly worth it anymore.

text:
When I was a kid, Nintendo Power was light on ads and could get up to 120 pages. You got a free poster every month, plus complete maps of games, as well as a complete $20 strategy guide on renewal. When Amazon.com sent me an offer for 50% off a gaming magazine subscription, I opted for Nintendo Power despite being more of a PC Gamer now.

The magazine is much thinner now, only 90 pages, with three times as many ads as the classic version. They no longer give you a free poster each month, and you don't get a strategy guide with your subscription.

The only section that offers anything you wouldn't be able to find better online is the "Pulse" section, where readers write to Nintendo Power.

I understand that the internet is a huge competitor of gaming magazines, but if anything that should mean that the magazines try harder and give information that the internet doesn't (such as full maps of stages, demos for soon to be released games, or even a poster to hang on the wall).

The game on the cover of the most recent issue is Donkey Kong Country Returns, a 2D platformer. The section devoted to DKCR has only information about the gameplay mechanics and descriptions of the items, both of which would be familiar to anybody who played the original Donkey Kong Country (which I'd assume is most people). For a 2D platformer, it would be easy to provide full maps of at least a few stages with information about where the hidden bonus stages are.

One thing that I like is the review section. I'm always more willing to trust a Nintendo Power review than that of another magazine since there is a clear bias against the Wii in the media. But review scores can be checked online without a magazine subscription. There's also a review archives section that shows the scores many past games received, which would be convenient if it wasn't so easy to look up on Metacritic or GameRankings.

The pictures are fun to look at, and the cover-art rarely disappoints. I just wish we still got a poster.

The magazine may be a fun read for children, but for adults who grew up with the magazine 15-20 years ago, Nintendo Power is a lazy effort.


title: good kids magazine

text: I gave this to my 9 yr old 3rd gr nephew over a yr ago; he liked it well enough to request its renewal; he is big into major league baseball & college (SEC) football & "Star Wars", but finds this magazine appealing too; he prefers actual photographs & realistic things, rather than cartoon & traditional kid oriented illustrations


title: very disappointed

text: This magazine subscription was a major disappointment. I hoped that it would have articles and photos to inspire the wanderlust of dreams from a slightly different perspective than National Geo magazine; however it appears aimed at self absorbed wealthy travelers instead. After one full year's subscription I am sad to say I did not enjoy even one issue.


title: Quality of the paper needs to be improved

text: Loved it as a kid, buy was disappointed after buying this. The content is good but the paper quality is pretty bad, you won't feel like holding and reading it.


title: They sent wrong magazine

text: I knew to expect it to take 3 months to arrive but it took more like 4-5months. I can blame that on covid. We recieved our first magazine but the second one they sent us someone else's magazine. I'm disappointed because my daughter loved the first magazine.


title: Three Stars

text: It's easy this way, but my subscription doesn't actually expire until May.  Renewal is a little early!


title: Dreadful

text: This magazine can no longer have even the slightest claim to being a worthwhile read. It is cartoonish, sophomoric and absurdly editorialized.


title: Great magazine

text: I saw this magazine in a bookstore and had to order it. My subscription started pretty quick and I just love this magazine for the great ideas it gives me. I didn"t know a magazine on this topic existed before.


title: Nice

text: Nice story's and relaxing to read.


title: Not the magazine of my childhood

text: I have fond memories of this magazine from my childhood. Unfortunely this is not the magazine of those times. It has plenty of gun ads and the like and appears to swing sharply to the right.


title: Not worth the paper it's printed on

text:
This magazine subscription was free which is why I have it.  However, it just irritates me every time I get it in the mail.  I just glance through the pretty pix and then donate it to a hospital waiting room.  This magazine only features luxury travel.  Even the bargains page has only luxury options.  If you're a multi-millionaire (not just a millionaire), this magazine caters to you.  However, the travel blurbs are really short.  There is nothing in depth in the magazine.  For instance, a travel location will feature one or two high end places to stay, one or two high end restaurants and possibly one museum or event worth seeing.  And that's it.

I happen to know someone who writes for this magazine.  This writer does not actually go review the hotels, cities or restaurants.  She reads about them.  If it's a city where she has a contact, she'll get some info from those people.  If there is an industry travel event in California, she'll attend that.  Otherwise all the info comes from the websites or brochures or their marketing department.  I assume that's where most of the info in this magazine comes  from, other writers who don't obtain their info from actually traveling but from ConVis bureaus and promos from the places that they recommend.

Get your advice online or through a magazine that's more practical.  You'll still see pretty pictures, but you won't have destroyed any trees.


title: An old time favorite

text: I loved Highlights as a child and now my grandchildren will be able to also. My grandson loved reading it at the Dr and dentist offices so he was quite pleased that his Gram signed him up to receive it every month.One good thing about it is there is something different that each child likes about the magazine and they will take it out and read it over and over.


title: Good overview of food and home

text: This is a good magazine if you can't decide if you want a magazine on crafts, cooking, gardening, or decorating. It covers all topics. It's a little on the short side but has beautiful pictures of parties and decorating. The crafts always inspire me but, of course, I haven't really done any yet. It's a magazine you will keep and flip through months later for an inspirational decorating or food idea.


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: Five Stars

text: Received in good condition.


title: good magazine

text: I was buying it every time I saw it in the grocery store.  a subscription seemed a valuable answer... good recipies


title: What can I say about America's Test Kitchen?

text:
Where do I start? You can follow the recipe and make the dish and it will always be amazing. Always. What stands out for me is the explanation/story before the recipe that explains what was tried and why. That is the money part. If you take those tidbits to heart you start to see patterns in your own cooking that can be improved.

The gear and gadget reviews are spot on. As well as their tips and tricks sections...all gold.

These magazines (and their books) have changed my life from a guy who could destroy mac-n-cheese to making gourmet dishes people beg to come over for dinner for. Chinese? Thai? Italian? German? Et al? Nailed it!

If you enjoy cooking (even remotely) and want to improve...get it!!!!

My family is well fed and I couldn't be happier. Just get it...you won't regret it!


title: Great magazine!

text: We got a great deal on this magazine for Black Friday, $5 for a year! My wife loves this magazine.


title: Good for kids

text: I believe it's a little pricey for what you get. Not very many pages, but my granddaughter was thrilled to get her own mail.


Inspirational


title: I loved it as a kid, my Nieces love it now. Best for ages 6-12

text: Excellent birthday present idea for my niece. She loved it so much that she showed all her friends! Her sister loved it, too, and asked for her own subscription on her birthday. So now they both have magazines! They were ages 7 and 10 then, now 8 and 11 and still love it. The older one may grow out of it around age 12.


title: DIY Bible

text: Good information


title: Actually interesting.

text: I'm so glad this magazine is still around because its brings out my curiosity. Makes me feel like a kid with a new chemistry set and (often) scares the hell out of me because : Science fiction is happening right now! We've arrived. I'm glad there are some passionate people out there keeping track of it. And extra points for the nice photography.

Articles are easy to read and understand, even entertaining. And if you are in the market to purchase a car, new or used, Consumer Reports is the automobile bible.  Do they offer lifetime subscriptions?  Sign me up!  Makes a fantastic gift too.<br />-Suburban Mom


title: Field and Stream not currently in publication...

text:
I have been a lifelong reader and subscriber to F&S. After making enquiries as to why I have not received any issues since my renewal last year I have learned that Bonnier sold it off in October 2020 to an equity group. A few distributors (not Apple or Zinio) have been upfront about subscriptions not being available. My suggestion is to scratch it off your list and only buy it if you see it on a shelf somewhere.

I've just learned that I'm out what I paid for my subscription. I guess it's just dog eat dog out there...

text: I love this magazine.  Even though I am a woman (DYI'er) there are many tips and how-tos for me that I can handle.  I pass them on to my son-in-law who does improvements also.  I would recommend this magazine to anyone who likes home improvement projects.


title: WONDERFUL!!

text: Some of the reviews here made me cancel the subscription before i receive any of those magazines , boy was i wrong! i still got my order , and the magazines are just wonderful! definitely worth every penny !!  my almost 7 years old loves them , they are filled woth fun and information , i will resubscribe


title: Report their billing practices to your Attorney General

text:
Decent magazine if you want to get it--but if you decide to stop your subscription, they will stop at nothing to harass you into re-subscribing. They even send you letters pretending to be from a collection bureau. I did NOT buy it via Amazon, which does say auto-renewal, although heaven knows how you opt out! I never pay for magazines with a credit card but even so I got somehow put into 'auto renewal' (I guess every subscription is auto-renewal whether you know it or not) and have sent them letters and emails; the harassment doesn't stop.

You'll be getting it in your grave "for your convenience."

title: Very pleased!

text: I ordered this for my mother for Christmas and it is her favorite magazine!  Classically informative and excellent for home design or re-design.


title: My favorite garden magazine

text: Some garden magazines assume you are a master gardener.  This magazine is easier to understand and is seems to be geared to those of us love to garden but don't know all the technical terms!  Lots of pictures, good advice and a minimum of advertisements.


title: Not hot off the press when you subscribe

text: After I subscribed it took almost two months before I received an issue.  When I complained I was told it would take 6-8 weeks before the first issue arrived and basically this was normal.<br />When I received the first one finally, I noticed it was for the second month of my 6-month subscription which means I will only 5 months out of 6  although I did receive access to the electronic iPad version right away.  This is common in a lot of magazines, but I am so tired of subscribing to a magazine and seeing it on the newsstands for weeks before I get my issue in the mail usually quite late and when the new one is just about to hit the stands.

title: Title says it all

text: I love this magazine. It goes back to when I was a wee one and also my parents generation as well. Love the photos and articles. Keep it up!


title: Great recipes!

text: Like this magazine a lot!  Love to try the recipes and share with friends.


title: Not geographic

text: Not geographic any more. I have been a subscriber for 64 years. It is not recognisable. The content has shifted to promoting the progressive viewpoint and various other uninteresting material. I assume that they are trying to keep up subscriptions but that's not working for me.


title: Something for Everyone

text: Recipes are organized and well written. Includes vegetarian recipes.


title: You will enjoy it!

text: Bought for my adult grandson who’s in college! He is extremely happy with it!


title: EATING WEIRD

text: This may be great for someone who wants to experiment with ingredients not normally found in your kitchen - I was looking for something that would give me ideas using common ingredients already on hand.  I guess I'm in the minority on this one as it appears that most folks really like this magazine - wish I did.....

title: Only got two months for a year for a year subscription.

text: I like that I at least got the auto issue. I use it for reading. I attempted to resolve it with Amazon, even talked to a person who said that in two weeks it would be straitened out. I am still waiting for one of my favorite magazines.


title: A must have for anyone that likes to cook!

text: One of my favorite magazines.  I love the history and the authenticity of the recipes.  I use it as research for the classes I teach.


title: I am still waiting to hear

text: I made a mistake with the recipient I have asked for a cancellation or change to my name.Still waiting for info.


title: Technology??

text: I remember enjoying reading this magazine.  It has become no more than a mouthpiece for left leaning political views.  Seriously.  Very sad.  If you want to read about technology in a straightforward and interesting manner, this is NOT the magazine you want, for there is very little of that.


title: Not gonna miss my favs anymore!

title: Son's Gift

text: My husband and I brought a Highlights Magazine subscription for our 7-year-old son for Christmas. He loves reading magazines, and had read this one before, so we thought he would get a lot out of it. The subscripion arrives on time and our son flips through it the night he receives it, but we have been disappointed to note he does not continue to read through them as he has done with other magazines. My personal opinion is that the magazines are full of variety and the references to current events are very educational. But for my son I think there are not enough stories and comics in the magazine to keep his interest. My husband and I plan to read through the next issue with him when it arrives, hoping to inspire his interest in the articles and activities inside.


title: Good magazine

text: I bought this for my son. He loves Field and Stream. It took a bit to start the subscription. But now it is coming in regularly.


title: It's okay, girlfriend loves it.

text: Eh it's okay, i still prefer cat fancy. $5 for a year subscription is pretty good though so i have mixed feelings about this. Over all its okay, i got it for my girlfriend anyway and she loves it so i don't really mind but i don't personally think i'd read it myself.


title: I just need to cancel

text: HELP!!  I need to cancel!!!!!!


title: Good Mag, Lousy Delivery

text:
UPDATE:

I ordered a 24 month subscription as a gift for a friend.  It should expire in March 2015, yet they are SENDING HER RENEWAL BILLS only months after I opened the account.  ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MINDS?  I did not make this gift to her so that they could pester her.

Original Post:

This review is not about the contents of the magazine, but about the delivery thereof.

I have always known this to be a good quality product, and I have ordered it for a friend to assist in getting a better handle on English, her 5th Language. So, while I find the product satisfactory, I cannot understand why it is in this modern age that a magazine company (any magazine) takes up to 2 and a half months to go from press to first delivery at your door. I am hoping the message they sent to tell me this was extremely pessimistic, but 2.5 months is not at all acceptable.

When I was young and it was still a mostly manual world, I thought this was mostly a marketing ploy designed to get you to buy two months of extra mags on the news stand - and still take those two months of magazines in the mail subscription.  Very clever - selling you the same mag twice.  But now I see that it is some kind of monumental inefficiency at work.  No wonder news papers and magazines are failing.

title: Glad we bought these

text: This does have quite a delay for delivery, which was expected.  My grandson, his parents and we all forgot about it until it arrived.  GREAT surprise.  Grandson loves it and his parents take what they feel is a guilty pleasure in snagging them when he's in bed.


title: O Magazine Subscription

text: I ordered this subscription in March 2011 and it was to start in April 2011, now I am informed by Hearst that it will start in June 2011.  Is this any way to keep a customer.  I am very unhappy with this.

title: Men’s Fashions, Trends, and Stories

text: GQ has always been one of my go-tos for current and upcoming fashion for men. I also enjoy their in-depth stories on various people across the spectrum, not just, celebrities and athletes. It’s a great magazine at a good value.

text: This is a great source for reviews of books both old and new.  Reviews are concise and helpful in making future<br />book purchases.


Scientific American is one of the finest resources for anyone looking for in-depth articles . It requires concentration and some knowledge to understand what is presented .

title: Excellent magazine

text: I subscribe to about 7 magazines and read a few others regularly. This is probably my favorite. There's a lot of useless filler in all magazines-whether its ads or articles or suggestions that seemingly have nothing to say to someone unless they weigh 100 pounds and think $500 is cheap for a cotton shirt.  This is the first mag I have read in a long time that I actually read everything, cover to cover.  I highly recommend.

title: Great price for the wife

text: Wife seems to enjoy it and it's light on the wallet for me as a annual gift.  Wife happy equals me happy.


title: Can't be read offline.

text: I love the magazine and I bought the December issue for my Kindle Fire HD. It was every bit as good as the print format, and once I downloaded it, I was able to read it with my wifi turned off. Then I subscribed and got a free one month trial. I downloaded the first issue and but didn't try to read it until the next day. I got a message that I couldn't open the magazine because the wifi was turned off. I turned it on, and was able to read the magazine in the cloud and on my device. I turned the wifi off and could read a few pages then got the error message again. According to the subscription help page, some subscriptions (and some apps) don't work if your wifi is turned off because they need to verify that you have paid for that app or magazine issue or whatever. So I canceled the subscription. I don't keep my wifi turned on because the battery life in the Fire isn't that great. I need to be able to use my games, books, and magazines with the wifi off. If this isn't possible, they should tell you this when you buy the subscription.


title: Sent As Gift

text: I sent this as a gift and do not know yet if they have it or not.  I know it takes 6 to 8 weeks to arrive.  But great item for kids, mine loved it.


title: Great Magazine - Worst Customer Service Ever

text: I subscribed for this magazine in early 2012, and after 6 months and plenty of complaints to the publisher, I never received any issues.  And they refused to cancel.  So I finally went to my credit card company and they reversed the charge.  The publisher did not have a defensible argument.  Since then I have been buying it OTC at Barnes & Noble.  With my member discount there the price is nearly the same as a subscription.  But today I found out that B&N is dropping evo altogether.  It looks like they will now become valuable collector's items in the states.


title: Not worth Burning in the Fireplace

text: There is not a thing in the Mag worth reading.  Its a shame that "O" has turned out to be a Name instead of quality.  Talk about riding a bandwagon.  Family is disappointed.  If you like articles about nothing go ahead a waste your money.  Its a shame of what it has turned out to be..  Should be called WOT for Waste of Time  or  WOM for Waste of Money.


title: The best

text: I love this publication. As a full time custom knifemaker, It has inspired, educated, entertained and promoted me and my business. Love everything about it.

title: Fine, if you like paying for ads

text: Mostly ads for stuff you can’t afford.


title: Why does a science magazine contain cigarette ads?

text:
I mostly got this subscription because I realized that we have no magazines or newspapers in our house for my son to cut pictures out of for school projects. Unfortunately, this doesn't have as many interesting pictures as I'd hoped. The articles are okay, but not all that great - not really worth paying for when I have the entire internet full of science articles.

But the thing that really gets me is that it contains not just lots of ads, but ads for cigarettes. In a science magazine! It's not like I subscribed to Rolling Stone or something. That alone easily bumps it down two stars.

text: I used to read this magazine back in the '60s and liked it, especially the ads from now defunct Spiratone.  Today's issues seem to be trying a mass appeal approach.  Photographers are a tough audience ranging from entry level to pros.  Something for everyone but not much for everyone.


title: Renewed too early

text: I love Architectural Digest, but don't appreciate having it renewed in April when the subscription lasts until July.  Why do they do this?


title: Renewed too early

text: I love Vogue magazine, but why do they insist on renewing in April when the subscription goes until July?  Next year I will take it off the auto renewal format.

text:
No better than it was years ago when I quit subscribing.
Too many ads and not enough articles of interest.
Still pretty poor.


title: A gift for my wife

text: I've had a gift subscription of Yoga journal coming for my wife for several years now, and she's still delighted every time a new issue comes.


title: Food Network Magazine

text: The price was right, the transaction was smooth.  Loved being able to print out a gift card.  My husband received his first issue yesterday!


title: Excellent resource for the home project set

text: I first encountered "Handyman" at the barber shop of course.  It seemed like every page had tools, hints, and projects that were relevant to my inclinations.  Found a subscription offer on Amazon and the first issue arrived full of the same content that intrigued me the first time.  The magazine focuses on home solutions that matter.  I highly recommend this publication to anyone who likes to fool with tools and hopes to improve the hacienda.


title: Another pointless recommendation designed to waste your money

text: Buying a magazine I don't read in a language I don't speak is a good deal exactly how? Maybe you should recommend books and magazines in Russian or Chinese  I don't speak those either.


title: No, just no.

text: What a horrible recommendation. What, if anything, besides being an Amazon customer and once buying a magazine, says that I would ever enjoy a magazine that's sold in the grocery store check out line?


title: One Star

text: Too many advertisements. Won't renew...


title: Great Mag

text: If you are into taking landscape photos - this is the mag for you.  Great pics, advice and product reviews.


title: Good read

text: It makes me dream of winter ...


title: Classic Motorsports is a Great Read

text:
We get several magazines at my house, I typically thumb through them, read an article or two, and they get thrown out.  Last Christmas my wife bought me a two year subscription to Classic Motorsports.  As a British car nut, I knew that Grassroots Motorsports had purchased British Car Magazine to form Classic Motorsports but had not read the new magazine.

Classic Motorsports has every bit of the coverage on British cars that Brit Car did, the bonus is the coverage of cars I haven't read about.  I find myself looking forward to reading about old Alfas, Datsuns and Volvos on top of my beloved British cars.  There is coverage on the US cars, but the balance is dead on.

So if you like classic sports cars, and are looking for information outside of the typical pony car mags, check out Classic Motorsports.  Every issue I find that I read every article, and reread many.  Classic Motorsports was my best Christmas present of 2005.


title: NICE PHOTOS

text: Great magazine with awesome photos.  This magazine covers everything from basic set-up procedures to more detailed information about various fish species.  Well worth it for fish lovers.


title: Love it

text: I have saved myself a bucket full of money on three items I needed to purchase.  I purchased this magazine knowing that I had a microwave, laptop and refrigerator in my future.  After I purchased it, I ended up needing a vacuum cleaner and found just what I needed in the magazine.  I love my new machine.  I've also found other tips, recalls and helpful comparisons.  Worth every penny.


title: Five Stars

text: My 2nd favorite magazine and I love enjoying it in print.


title: Fun read!

text: This magazine is great fun!  The short history articles cover the entire spectrum of British history and pique interest to read in depth about a subject of interest.  The book reviews are wonderful as they cover subjects not usually reviewed in U.S. magazines.  I love Samantha's Recipe Corner, a review of historic recipes!!!  Where else can you find something like that???  I look forward to every issue!!  Thank you!


title: One Star

text: Like others I subscribed & did not get digital access paid for ... And no print so far.


title: So Glad this magazine is still in print

text: I used to be able to find these types of magazines in my grocery store but no more.  Women’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens are all chock full of the things that are increasingly becoming less important.  I enjoy sitting down with a cup of tea and reading the recipes, articles and suggestions on decorating and crafts.  If you do as well, you will enjoy these wholesome and interesting magazines.


title: Five Stars

text: Grandaughter loved it.


title: disappointed in content

text: This magazine is one big ad.


title: Essential Reading

text:
For modern-day man! --and woman!
Insightful, jam packed with articles, blurbs and information on cutting edge topics, technology, and the future--great investigative stories--like 10 magazines in one! Get this magazine if you want to have a chance on keeping up with the future.
"And There I Was" by DH Koester


title: Knowledge is Power

text: Highlights for Children is an awesome Magazine. I had this subscription for my Library children and they loved to read the contents. Why, the science experiments were fun and kids loved to read and browse through the pages of the mag. The jokes and riddles from the Mag adds to classroom fun as they narrated them and even wrote down in their scrap books. Good reading, good advice and all that made to 'knowledge is power' and kids can sure be encouraged to cultivate reading habits with wonderful illustrated pictures - puzzles, hidden pictures, stories, crafts fun. Appealing to kids and interesting read. A nice pick.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it


title: Five Stars

text: Love this book.


title: How do you spell success

text: Great magazine. A friend gave a subscription as a present and I loved it. The next one I bought for myself. The cd's that are in each issue are great to listen to while I am driving. Excellent articles as well


It is an informative magazine. Lots of good articles. Has breeder directory. If you have or are thinking of getting goats I would recommend this magazine.


title: Packaging satisfactory. Product- quality above the norm.

text: Product arrived intact. The easiest way, to subscribe to a magazine; and have it automatically renewed.


title: Not for me

text: I asked for a magazine subscription for Christmas and got this one. Personally I’m not a fan. I was excited about this magazine at first because by the title, Good Housekeeping, I thought there may be lots of recipes, cleaning tips, or home budget tips etc. but instead there is an ad about every other page, sometimes a full two page ad and the general feeling I get from the magazine overall (ads included) is either how to lose weight or look younger.


title: Five Stars

text: okay


title: A good read

text: Very interesting articles


title: If you are a fan

text: My eldest son is a huge Miami dolphin fan so for him this is a no brainier. I know he enjoys the articles as well as the photos.m


title: Yoga novice

text: I LOVE Yoga magazine. I have learned so much from the articles and it puts me in a "peaceful" place when I read it. Some of it is advanced, but alot is perfect for the novice yogini!


title: Good read

text: My daughter is in her first year riding and she loves reading this magazine. Useful tips and informative information for a beginner.


title: Five Stars

text: The price left me gob-smacked when you consider TNY's quality


title: Five Stars

title: Five Stars

text: Fun reading.


title: great for dad

text: My dad loves this magazine and I recently ordered him a new subscription.  Great for the price and easy to maintain subscription through Amazon.


title: Great resource

text: I subscribed my first year homeschooling (4 years ago) and have found this to be an invaluable resource.  The readers' choice issue alone is worth the entire subscription price!  There are always helpful and entertaining articles that tackle all aspects of homeschooling.  I can't recommend it enough.


title: The best retirement letter out there

text: Is a bit pricey but is the only publication out there that is targeted at retirees or those near. I always find something of value and almost always agree with articles to make your retirement financial and tax situation better. A good solid publication.


title: I love people but I hate that you cant get people ...

text: I love people but I hate that you cant get people unless you already had been buying it. Too bad


title: Love the crossword puzzle

text: With cable having a guide it is less appealing to have a good crossword, please dont mess with it. I have been receiving it for years and will continue.


title: good mag

text: mostly unbiased reporting, does support the libertarian view


title: A gift

text: This was a gift for my ex mother in-law.  I don't know if she ever opened it up.  What a waste.  I would have loved to read it each month.  It is a good magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Every watercolorist should subscribe for seeing others works and ideas


title: as described

text: thank you


title: my kids love Nat Geo and Highlights-- surprised they didn't like this

text: Not sure what the deal is, but they didn't like it.  Also they said it had lots of ads!?  Not worth the money.


title: A little bit of home

text: I was born in the Midwest and have family there. My dream is to leave California and go back to the Midwest. So I love this magazine! It feels like home to me


title: A hikers information source

text: Plenty of hiking suggestion for equipment and locations.


title: Good mag...

text: Yoga journel is a good reference source for all levels of practicing yogis. The original subscription price was absolutely fantastic. The renewal rate wasn't.


title: I like it!

text: I thought it was going to be small like the old tv guides. It’s a perfect size especially for my grandmother who can’t see that well. I ordered 2 subscriptions. One for me and one for her; we are very satisfied with our order!


title: Great

text: I really like this magazine and look forward to receiving my next copy. I highly recommend this for all cooks!


title: Excellent writing, often stunningly so

text: I loved the article "The Shooter" and their recent "Most Famous Men in the World" in-depth celebrity profiles which had new and actually interesting information on Leo, Brad and Matt!  I also enjoy their cooking, clothing, and general advice; its kinda like an intelligent Maxim with less naked ladies (slight bummer since I'm a bi woman).  I try to get my husband to read it but he's more interested in Maxim haha.  I subscribe to a lot of mags but this one has hands down the best writing lb for lb, even beating out Vanity "almost too vain" Fair :)


title: Just love it. Sorry I didn't order it

text: Just love it.  Sorry I didn't order it sooner


title: Maximum PC

text:
I've always enjoyed Maximum PC Mag, and the price was unbelievably inexpensive, so I ordered it.

I did find out as the issues came that there is no included CD with this subscription. That is not mentioned anywhere in the offer.

If you would enjoy the magazine without the disc, then this is a super deal.


title: Keep sending me that PAPER magazine.

text: Been a loyal mag fan of TH for 20 years!!!<br />I agree that the internet SHOWERS us with a billion recipes, however, I still love my paper!!


title: Being a Foodie, I like this mag the most!

text: At one time I subscribed to 5 various food mags. This has been my all time favorite.  Decided this was going to be the only paper magazine I continued to receive!


title: Great product, great price!

text: Good educational magazine for my grandsons. I couldn't find a subscription for this price anywhere else.


title: Great value for the price

text: These are the best magazines for young people. They learn while having fun.


title: Disappointed

text: Very disappointed.  Threw away my last few without much of a read.  So much opinionated crap I certainly wont be renewing.


title: Great archeology infor!

text: My Archi Husband and Lover Of our Lord is totally enjoying the magazine. He just got his first copy and looking forward to more to come...


title: Get hints about future plots and other Soap Opera news

text: Before I had a subscription to SOAP OPERA WEEKLY, I would have to go look for it and somethimes couldn't find it. If you watch any of the Soap Operas that are still on the air, you can get news about the actors on your soap as well as plans for the future. You can also get an idea of what the other Soaps are doing. There are several intersting features.  It has some news about Prime time programs as well as pictures of the styles that actresses are wearing.  I do miss Marlena De La Croix who used to have a column.  good for Soap fans, but SOAP OPERA DIGEST has more news.


title: Three magazines at once.

text: The magazine is cute. Not much in it. My daughter and I look through each together. BUT the first order included 3 magazines. We received them July 31 and included were June, July/August, and September. Why did we already get September?  I ordered a subscription because I thought it would be fun for my daughter to get something in the mail each month.


title: Missing subscription

text: It quit arriving!!


title: Total Waste of Money

text: They got to be kidding!!  I thought I was getting a magazine ( like Consumer Reports), not a leaflet....I thought they would compare different brands of vitamins, which was the best & purest.  No!! We already know to eat salmon,hello.  Total waste of money!!


title: Absolutely poor customer service

text:
This magazine is OK, although as a teaching aide there are much, much better resources out there, particularly online.  I've used it mainly to satisfy the urge to look at/read about beautiful guitars and the luthiers who make them.

My complaint is mostly with their customer service.  I received from them, in the mail, an offer for a renewed subscription at $19.95 for the year, along with a free subscription to their Acoustic Guitar University online lessons.  It gave you the option of mailing in a check, calling, or registering online.  I chose to register online.

I registered, and never received a confirmation, even though my credit card was charged.  In fact, it was charged twice.  So I emailed them and asked them to rectify the situation.  I got an auto-response email at that point, stating that my email would be responded to within 48 hours.  No such luck.  I finally called them, and was told that, yes, they would remove the second charge from my credit card, but the "free gift" of the online lessons would not be included.  I asked why, since I had in my hand the printed offer.  She said that that was included only if you sent it in via mail with the discount code included.  Not what was stated in their printed offer.

Anyway, the customer service rep was snippy and clearly didn't care about keeping me as a customer.  So I cancelled the subscription entirely.  As far as I'm concerned, it's an average product with  below average customer service.


title: Timely...

text: This magazine is a good value in that it gives a pretty fair reporting of news and events happening around the world as well as in the US. I just don't much like Joel Stein, as I feel he is pretty shallow and frivolous.  I'd like him to once focus on something that is serious.  But then, he wouldn't be Joel Stein.


title: My favorite magazine. Please subscribe

text: My favorite magazine. Please subscribe. This is also a much better deal (usually) than subscribing through the site. Magazines came...not sure how on time bc I don't really pay attention but....they came.

title: Inc

text: Difficult to read


title: Not what I was hoping for

text: It's not as great as I thought it would be. Shabby chic decor & garish colors are not my style at all. There is not enough variation in the decor


title: A 1 year subscription to this wonderful U. K

text: A 1 year subscription to this wonderful U.K. based cross stitch magazine (including free gift w/each issue). I couldn't ask for a better price.<br />After ordering it takes about 8 or so weeks for your subscription to start, it arrives in a plastic wrap, and ready to be read and used! Can only recommend this to any cross stitcher.


title: No Magazine as of yet

text: Ordered two subscriptions in December, here it is Feb 8th and I still have not recieved a copy.


title: It is what it is.

text: If I could only have one magazine. This would be in the final running.


title: Five Stars

text: i love this magazine, i don't care if i'm not 80.  it makes me laugh.


title: All due high regard for German engineering but give Ford's engineers a little more time !

text: I did not give the front cover article(my only reason for purchase)a top rating because the writers did not seem to consider that VW is in it's 7th version vs. Ford's relatively early entry effort to produce a similar performance vehicle........i would give Ford engineers more time to modify their design..


title: SI

text: I do not know why I did not purchase a subscription sooner. The subscription also allows access to the digital magazine too.


title: Great for articles but I let it go

text: Disappoints me now!  They no longer do the day time schedule. Only evenings & only till 11 pm!  Great for articles but I let it go!

title: Happy Grandson

title: Excellent magazine.

text: If you like do it yourself around the house, this is the magazine for you. Great articles and tips each month.


title: Country's Best Log Homes

text: Before choosing which log home magazines to subscribe to, my wife and I bought a copy of every one we could find. We didn't want all ads and floor plans - although some of each are helpful. We wanted featured houses close to what we hope to build (not 10,000 sq. ft. mansions) and we wanted articles that will help us design the ideal home for our needs. Country's Best Log Homes met those requirements. The first issue we received had several helpful articles including designing a home office in a log home. All the featured homes include plenty of beautiful photos and floor plans that help put the article and photos into perspective. We recommend this magazine to anyone dreaming about a log home as well as those serious about designing a comfortable log home that is uniquely yours.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it! My kids are enjoying it!


title: Not worth the money

text: Subscribed to this for my dad - we live in a farming family and thought he’d enjoy reading it. There just isn’t much substance. The magazines are the thinnest I’ve ever seen and now that I’ve read a few, I understand why he asked me to get him a subscription to something else instead.


title: Five Stars

text: bought for my mum, she loves it

The lifestyle many of us city dwellers dream of, and NOW we have  our new magazine , I will have mine for 2 years.<br />ANd everytime I get it from my mailbox, the dreaming begins again. For Someday I may finally get my dream log home here in Northern Arizona. My Dream.


title: NEVER SHOWED UP

text: I gave this as a Christmas gift to a landscape colleague in 2018... one issue arrived and that was it... I have tried to contact the folks and ask for a response to what happened and nothing... this doesn't really seem ok...<br />DFW

title: lots of help with woodwork

text: liked it


title: good, solid magazine

text: This is a good, solid magazine for cooking light and quick. I usually like the readers' recipes better than the magazine's, but the photos are great and the food turns out tasty.


title: Great gift!

text: My son loves it! He likes to see he gets mail in his name, that's for sure. Then the whole family is involved in reading the great stories, playing games and most of all learning. It's a great gift idea and a wonderful way of getting away from a computer, TV etc.


title: Dog not renew this subscription

Read this as a kid, still a great encouraging monthly publication after all these years.

title: TASTE OF HOME MAGAZINE

text: VERY NICE MAGAZINE...NO A LOT OF ADS....GREAT RECIPES!


title: I love Fons and Porter Magazines

text: These magazines have great patterns and are not stuffed with a zillion foolish advertising dropout filler.  (I have a pet peeve about paying for something and having it filled with paper bits that have to be unloaded before you can read the magazine.  I enjoy advertisements that are relevant to the magazine topic, however).  I also appreciate the ability to see the magazine online or download it to my iPad.

text: Great product


title: Wasted my money

text: I got the People en Español as a gift for my mom. Total waste, just got a mail saying they stopped doing the Spanish magazine and will now keep sending me the regular English one which to be honest I don’t read magazines, and my mom will not understand sooooo totally pointless now.

text: I used to think this was for "old people" but the magazine actually covers new and relevant projects/technology. I actually caught my wife reading them before I got home, but that just increased my to do list.


title: very interesting

text: beautiful color photos and  interesting articles.


title: Four generations of my family read Family Handyman

text: Family Handyman magazine is always fun to get in the mail. I read it and then my mother reads it. Sometimes we decide to make a project featured in the magazine. When I am done with the magazine, my brother takes it home for his family to read. Four generations read this magazine in my family.


title: GREAT FOR ALL GENERATIONS

text: All 3 generations of my family love reading this magazine. We are never too old to learn or to be entertained.


title: Never serve or eat boring dishes again.

text: Fun recipes and ideas.


title: Popular Mechanics Makes Smart Readers

text: My family has enjoyed this magazine for decades!


title: GREAT FOR A TEENAGE BOY

text: MY SON HAS BEEN READING THIS MAGAZINE FOR YEARS.  IT KEEPS HIM UP TO DATE ON HIS FAVORITE SPORTS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT KEEPS HIM READING.


title: Minimal content,tons of ads, higher cost,fewer issues

text: A new generation of magazines - minimal content - tons of ads and higher cost for 1/2  number if issues.  Wait til they appreciate buying customers support and give 1 yr - 12 issues and more content even if they need all those ads... lets see if they adjust... the disappearing product times.. when will mfgrs learn - we know you’ll increase price - stop taking volume/size etc...we are not stupid and you just show disrespect to us.


title: New generation of very thin magazines but good info

text: Pretty Good as I get used to mini-magazines. I appreciate Amazon magazine offers or I would not spend more on them


title: Better price in iBooks

text: Agree with all the great reviews... But BUY IT IN IBOOKS from your iPad. $46/year!


title: Five Stars

text: Good old TV guide


title: What happened to In Style?

text: I recently re-subscribed to IN Style (it's been a few years since I first subscribed). I have been sorely disappointed. The reason I used to really love this magazine was because it was attainable fashion (as opposed to the high end ones like Vogue) . I'm a normal person who isn't able to spend $400 on a shirt or & 300 for a pair of earrings. I also don't have any place to wear weird high-fashion. In Style used to be for regular women who are into fashion but don't have a huge disposable income for clothing and want to be able to translate it to a normal person's life. In Style is now indistinguishable from Marie Claire or Elle, or any number of other rags that make fashion unattainable for the common woman and I'm not sure what the purpose of it is any more.<br />And if you're reading this, IN Style editors, please stop politicizing you're articles. In times of highly decisive public, political times, people turn to entertainment (and fashion magazines) for a reprieve from the intense things happening around them.


title: Beadwork

text: I subscribe to bead works and was excited to be able to get a back edition with pattern I had seen and wanted to be able to make.  It is the only beading magazine to which I subscribe.


title: Great choice for gift.

text: My grandson loved it and looks forward to reading the next issue. He's in the 4th grade and really into basket. The articles in the magazine are related to his school curriculum so I am thrilled.


title: Magnolia Journal

text: Love Chip and Joanna's Fixer Upper Show. The naga ind had great articles and recipes


title: Good

text: Hadn’t looked at readers digest in years.  Came across one recently and I loved it.  😊


title: Great magazine with great stuff inside but a little thin.

text: Love the magazine's articles for bicycle commuter and recreational riders.  My only complaint is the magazine is a little thin and needs more articles.  I have been buying this mag in the book store for years but just now subscribe because it was cheaper.  The reason I was reluctant to subscribe earlier was still the thinnest of the articles.  Don't get me wrong the articles, stories and photos are top notch.  I just want more great articles, stories and photos in my issues of Bicycle Times Magazine.


There are way too many cigarettes and alcohol order this 9  year old. We had that talk years a go but still. The  articles are intriguing to him.


title: Excellent Publication

text: I love receiving this publication each month. Got it at a great price and look forward to it each month.


title: This Rolling Stone is full of moss

text: Not as great as it used to be.


title: Good magazine

text: Good magazine.  Thinner than I remember and more ads.


title: Good magazine with lots of ads

text: It is a good magazine.  Lot of ads.

text: I wish that the guide would cover the AM & Pm  programs as well as after 10:00pm. In other words the whole day


title: beautiful pictures

text: I enjoy looking at the beautiful pictures and learning about the birds . I read it from cover to cover and really enjoy it.


Hands down the finest WWII periodical for serious history buffs and enthusiasts. Articles are well written on a variety of interesting topics. Included are good maps which are often left out of other journals. Journal does an excellent job of covering various aspects and theaters of operation. Well worth the subscription price in my opinion. Not a fluff journal full of extra large pictures and advertisements. WWII History is legitimate.

text: My dog-loving 14 yr. old daughter really enjoys this magazine!


title: A lot of advertisements and promo spots, but some good tips and tricks

text: The amount of non-advertiser content in this magazine is pretty small, even more so when you take away the amount of reader-submitted tips.  Still, I like getting it and the tips are handy.
