title: The Best Semi-Popular Journal On Natural History

text: This is a great magazine: I call it semi-popular because it is occasionally technical and often referenced in scientific works, but it is very accessible and readable to the inquisitive member of the general public. If you have any interest in life on earth, do yourself a favor and subscribe.


title: IMPORTANT WORK

text: In the other reviews nobody has mentioned that ARTnews has done VERY important investigative reporting and even crusading for the restitution of artworks stolen by the Nazis.  They have followed other similar lines over a long period of time.  I don't think any other magazine has shown such responsibility.  They have been trying but have not yet succeeded in covering art of the nation or world as a whole instead of SOOOOOOO much on NYC.  That may almost be too much of a challenge as the art world continues to grow and spread out, and so much of it is available online.<br />Christy

title: Do not subscribe to the electronic version

text:
This magazine contains valuable and interesting content. In fact, that's what led me to spend the money for a subscription to the electronic version I could read on my mini-iPad. What a mistake! Unlike the other guitar mags I subscribe to, Acoustic Guitar has been "crippled" by the designers. The pages cannot be zoomed by the normal method. Also if you turn the iPad sideways to slightly enlarge the print, the pages will not orient sideways. (When you try to zoom you see a tiny icon of a magnifying glass crossed out... meaning the function is disabled.)

This means you are forced to read the magazine at whatever tiny print the designer chose. Some parts are unreadable because they're just too tiny.  The interesting thing is that the advertisements ARE zoomable... so clearly the concept is intentional, and no accident.

Save your money. Buy this one in the paper edition, or not at all.

My email to the magazine attempted to pass this off as an Apple-related issue I should address with iTunes. This is NOT an Apple or iTunes issue. All the other magazines to which I subscribe work perfectly.


title: Extremely informative and helpful magazine.

text: I am glad I re-subscribed to this magazine.  Tons of information on the best places to retire.

title: Not for me since I don’t have an air fryer

text: I subscribe and am annoyed that a full issue was devoted solely to air fryer recipes. That’s ¼ of my yearly subscription that went straight into the recycling bin.

text: My daughter loves these.


title: global perspective and informative

text: I started reading the Economist four years ago, basically on my commute to work.  It's a big magazine (usually 95 pages) so it would last me the whole week.  In those four years I greatly increased my knowledge about the world.  Every edition is grouped into categories, such as "The USA" "Africa & Middle East" "Europe" "Asia" "Finance" "Science" "Arts" and etc.  They have the same format every week so every week you will have articles on Africa, Asia, South America, Britian, and so forth.  If you read them, or even just skim them, you become well informed on what is happening in the Congo as well as at home.  I look forward to receiving the Economist every week.


title: Two Stars

text: I use to love this magazine when I was younger. Now it seems politically skewed with no useful information.


title: One Star

text: Politically skewed magazine. Nothing groundbreaking to read about.


title: good mix of house and food and travel

text: like this magazine alot. my only request would be more architecture in it. maybe a bit less flowers. keep it up.


title: Your story about autism and vaccines

text: Forbes isn't what it used to be. This article about autism and vaccines  is offensive to the millions of people whose lives have been touched by autism, and is without merit. What would you tell the millions of  parents that experienced firsthand the loss of their child right after the MMR vaccine. Their opinion don't count? I think your story is a disgrace and a shame.


title: Good RC aiplane magazine

text: Good information. Covers new RC planes that have just came out. I enjoy it. This is my second year. I will renew again.


title: Good electric park flyers magazine

text: Like any magazine today it could have a bit more article and a bit less adds. But this has been a good magazine for electric park flyers. I will renew my subscription.


title: Beer Me!

text: As a homebrewer, I have always enjoyed my subscription to BYO. Keep 'em coming! Great staff, great content, great circulation!


title: quick and easy

text: Ordering was quick and easy and the renewal was added to the existing subscription length.<br />The price was very good.


title: O, The Oprah Magazine

text: A very good magazine - too much advertising for me. But some of the issues have some really great articles.


title: Some crucial information for preppers.

text: So far, so good. We are truly enjoying the great articles that are practical. There may be a bit, but not nearly as much left-wing politics as Mother Earth News.


title: Awesome!

text: I appreciate the readings regarding saints and other important people in church history. It's also helpful in that I can read the prayers before mass.

text: Great magazine and one which I look forward to every month! You've GOT to be tech-centric and a DIY kind of person to truly appreciate this though...


title: A collector's item!

text: I an a long time subscriber. I consider this magazine a collector's  item, The best quality, best articles and photography.


title: Hour Detroit

text: A very glossy publication with many current and relevant topics. It keeps one informed about all the happenings and events in the Detroit area.


title: Awesome Find

text: I am glad that I found this magazine. I am able to complete my collection. Great price, fast shipment, and sent in excellent condition.


We have a travel trailer so I like seeing camping products, and tips. I enjoy finding out about areas to go camping.


title: Five Stars

text: Very interesting magazine


title: This is the US version translated

text: When I bought this magazine subscription I was under the impression that is for the Cosmo that is sold/printed in Spain.  I was wrong.  When my first issue arrived I see that it's nothing more than the United States/English version translated into Spanish.  These 2 magazines are very different in content.  While I'll read this, I will not renew.  Just a "heads up" for anyone who wants to purchase this magazine.


title: Forbes will not respond

text: I have always been impressed with Forbes Mutual Fund review.  However I have not been able to find where they have published any since January of 2010.  I have been e-mailing them for several weeks and they will not respond.  I am getting very discouraged with Forbes.  If it is no longer published I can just drop my subscription but what is upsetting is that they will not respond.  If anyone knows if or where the updated Mutual Fund Review is shown, please let me know.<br />Thank You

title: Wonderful Magazine, Great Price and Customer Service!

text: National Georgraphic is one of the best magazines out there.  It is extremely educational and informative with just outstanding photographs.  For the young, old, and all inbetween!  Great, Great Service from Amazon.com!  I recommend both highly.  No problems whatsoever!  Go for it!!!!

text: My child loves reading these with us or alone! I can't wait to reread them as he learns more Spanish.


title: Too any adds

text: So many adds


title: Great magazine

text: I really like this cooking magazine.  I subscribe to several different cooking magazines but find myself using this one the most.  There's a nice balance of easy and more challenging recipes, useful nutritional and technique information and a great variety of food.


title: Great Deal

text: I love Entertainment Weekly but didn't want to pay a million dollars for a subscription. The price is great and I don't have to worry about renewing, Amazon does it for me.


title: Must have for a coin collector

text: This magazine is a must have for any coin collector.  The monthly price guide is great. The articles are informative and fun to read.


title: Bought as a gift.

text: I purchased this as a gift for my Dad last year. The magazine must be great since he asked me to keep the subscription going. My only gripe is that they can not seem to get the mailing address right no matter how many times he has asked for it to be corrected. He receives his magazine a month or two late due to this.


title: Great magazine!

text: Gave as a gift to my daughters boyfriend and he loved it!  He is a "wanna be" gourmet and he appreciated all the helpful hints and great recipes in this magazine.  It did arrive a few weeks earlier (I'm not complaining) and almost spoiled the Christmas morning surprise but we caught it in time!  It is a gift he will enjoy every day of the year!


title: Narcissistic Publishing at its best

text: I have had a subscription to this magazine for almost a year now, and with that subsciption, access to the iPad Newstand app for this magazine is included. I digest the content only through the app, and every single week there is a 90 to 120 second video of the editor and chief graphic designer discussing the process of creating that week's magazine cover. How freaking self-absorbed is this kind of activity for a BUSINESS magazine?! Anyone reading this magazine for its intended content couldn't give a world of crap for how they decided where to place text and graphics on the page. These guys need to take these lame videos, put them in a nice portfolio, and send them to their favorite graphic design professor for the praise they are seeking. So, if that is any indication to the content of the rest of the magazine, just know that you will only be getting yesterday's news with fancy graphics and clever word-plays. No forward thinking. No useful analysis. No return on your subscription investment.


title: The very best sports car magazine. Period.

text: Quality writers, great photos, access to the ultimate vehicles. There are no racing schedules, mini-van reviews, or funny photos, just pure hands on sports car reviews and LOTS of those.


title: Astonomy Now

text: Nice astronomy magazine with the usual variety, maybe a little heavier on equipment and tech, which I like.


title: difficult to use

text: the hard copy magazine is MUCH better. I won't bother with the electronic version again. Why do I have to have all these words? Stupid.


title: Will. Not. Renew.

text:
"Organic Life" has sold out to the 'lifestyle' and consumer culture. This is no longer a magazine with useful, practical and conservation-based gardening tips.

Best. Peaches. Ever. ? Yes, go buy them here... but don't expect any tips on how to grow them.

The magazine seems to have the goal of being hip and has totally dissed the long-time readers - the gardeners. Now it is for urban consumers that like to punctuate words but not read.

Lots of fluff pieces and personal stories. Why would anyone pay for a print copy or even kindle. Blog posts at best.

The amount and kinds of advertising give clues as to who this magazine is hoping to get their money from.... its the advertisers themselves and the upper-middle class folks that think they can buy their way to a more sustainable world.


title: Great Introductory Price!

text: Introductory price is great, stories on up-coming shows a plus.  Found some of the air times are incorrect but I'm sure it has to do with local programming.


title: Wonderful. Easy to read

text: Wonderful.Easy to read.


title: Sneaky Annual Subscription

text: Watch out for the constant subscriptions, you have to discontinue from their ad.


title: Attention to publisher

text:
Yes we know the magazine and nobody would ever order it if it was terrible ( though comparing the lest two years editions versus the ones published years before the reduction in topics,articles and number of pages is significant).
I would like to advice you ordering from Meredith: don't!!!!
In the age of Internet, and extreme leve and amount of electronic data processing - 3 MONTHS of processing is ridiculous and unacceptable!!!
They process payment in seconds!
Lots to work on Meredith! ☹


title: More late models please

text: OK, but not enough late model content.


title: Great Magazine

text: This magazine is wonderful.  It is much better than I expected.  I am not a big wine person but I am a person who loves different recipes and trying new foods.  I give them a definite thumbs up.


title: Waste of Money

text: I was really looking forward to Magnolia!!! Very disappointed!! Puts me to sleep!! Is Joanna Gaines another Oprah? An authority on everything life, kids cooking , decorating etc? No authors listed of who writes some of the strange articles! Save your money!! BORING!! Won’t be buying again!!


title: Did not receive it.

text: I did not receive it!  If I did, where is it?  I subscribed to this magazine because I love all thing "Elle."


title: Great Magazine

text: I really love this magazine because everthing is highlighted for easy and fast reading. Who doesn't love that?


title: For your consideration

text: If you like a little more detail and number crunching comparisons of different cars in the same class,  than R &T is a good car magazine to utilize as referencing the differences.


title: Keeps you up to date on what's coming.

text: Not always accurate on shows.  No daytime guide worth mentioning.


title: As always

text: Great photos and ideas😍


title: Teen value

text: 13 yo girl loves it


title: Great for poetry contests!

text: The best poetry magazine around!


title: formerly American Astrology magazine

text: This is the same magazine founded by Joanne Clancy but sold after her death.  Ken Irving edits and writes a monthly Book Review and article The New Astrology in a factual and down to earth style.  Other articles give practical advice without the hogwash typical of this type of publication.  There are the usual expected advice columns and a bit of fluff as well.  If you're looking for up to date ideas, start here!


title: Very Happy with this Publication

text: I ordered this mostly for the cover story on Octavian. I love Roman history and like to find new sources. I was surprised just how great the magazine was. The articles are extremely interesting and well written. The topics are diverse but still interesting if you know a great deal about a particular topic. I really enjoy this publication. I would say the print version is probably much easier to read. The electronic version didn't work great on my Fire because I had to zoom in to to read certain sections. I'm not sure if that's normal for a magazine, but made me want the printed version.

title: Kiki magazine is AMAZING

text: I have two fashionistas, ages 9 and 7. We LOVE this magazine.  As a mom, I am very thankful for the great content that is AD FREE!  You will not regret your subscription!


title: A Lot of Fluff - Not Much Information

text:
I bought a subscription thinking it would be a nice suppliment to my Cat Fancy subscription. The "I Love Cats" magazine was very thin (hardly magazine worthy) and just didn't have any useful information for me.  Overall, I was VERY disappointed in this magazine.

If you want a magazine with cute little cat stories than this magazine is for you.  If you want solid information about care of your cats get a subscription to Cat Fancy.


title: Great all-around BMX magazine.

text: I bought this magazine subscription as a father's day gift for my boyfriend. He loves getting every issue, and always rereads old issues months later. Even though he's not a kid, the content still interests him - I know he really enjoys the hands-on tips and tools information. Great photos, decent size issues. I'll definitely be renewing this subscription for him!

great magazine for beginning French learners, lots of practical everyday language.  I was told it would arrive until March so I was surprised when my first magazine came in Dec.


title: Lousy publication

title: Great!

text: Love this magazine!


title: Be careful

text: When signing up, count on getting the last two issues as part of your 12. I subscribed in late August (when the September issue was already on the news stands) and received the August and September issues that I had already bought on the newsstand. Lesson: expect 10 issues for the price of 12!


title: Smart Money Magazine Review

text:
I'm very disappointed in the publisher of this magazine and also Amazon for allowing this publisher to advertise a product with a year subscription when I'm sure they knew that
they were going to suspend publishing of the magazine in September.  This appears to be a classic case of bait and switch.  I was given the choice of getting my money back which
I took or substituting Barrons another magazine from the same publisher.  It appears to me they were hoping to get a lot of people to switch subscriptions to Barrons which would
inflate the subscriber base for the coming year.  Shame on them and if you don't punish this publisher shame on you.


title: Just a nice magazine to read

text: Just a nice magazine to read. Product reviews, recipes, seasonal clothes styles, and short stories.A magazine you can pick up when you only have a few minutes.


title: Gift purchase

text: Ordered this as a birthday gift for a good golfer friend of mine. He really enjoyed it for several years with absolutly no problems whatsoever. Good service.


title: All a subscription gets you is non-stop ads for an even more expensive subscription

text: This subscription is such a scam. Yes, you get the print edition, but by the time it arrives, all the good content in it has already been on YouTube for at least a week, free to everyone. And forget using this subscription to access content on their website--all the non-click bait content (like the archives from when the magazine was actually good) are locked behind a PREMIUM subscription paywall and when you try to access what little content IS available for us bottom-of-the-barrel subscribers, there's no place to actually log in--instead you just get hounded to subscribe and it's an endless cycle of trying fruitlessly to find a place to log in while fending off pop-up after pop-up hounding you to pay a second time for a subscription you already have. It's incredibly scammy and pathetic, given this is a massive publishing corporation.

title: Where's the Beef?

text: This magazine does still have some useful information if you search among it's many many pages of advertising. Good Luck.


title: A picture-book of a magazine

text: This magazine is more for photography bluffs than serious gardeners/birders.  More photos than written content.  I was disappointed.


title: For PS3 Lovers!!!

text: If you've been an long time playstation fan or just thinking of purchasing in the future and want information, this is the magazine for you.  It's very informative and keeps you updated on whats to come for the playstation.  It will keep you reading from front to back.

title: I love the magazine but not the price.

text: I love this magazine and always will...music, movies, television, liberal politics...love it.  But how can you cut the number of issues in half (26 per year to 12...so slightly more than in half) and charge more than twice as much ( used to pay $20 per year, now it costs $50).  The magazine is heavier now...different paper, different cover...but seems like the content is pretty much the same.  Unfortunately you lost me as a customer Rolling Stone.  Sucks.

title: GREAT magazine

text: This is one of my favorite magazines.  It is informative with wonderful ideas on what can be done in Arkansas<br />yards.


title: What I Like about it.

text: I liked the magazine, but too much advertising. I know its a must, but the mag has too much. I would recommend it though


title: Good not great.

text: I've been getting this magazine for a few months now I have to say it is simply average. The main turn off for me is how biased the writing is. I just don't feel the reviews are objective and the constant jokes about other systems are just bad humor. You can't argue with the price though it is a very inexpensive subscription. I have a feeling it would have earned another star if it included the demo disk. The magazine offers an upgrade to include the disks for an extra $10 but why not offer it right off the bat?


title: Only got 1

text: We have only received one so far in a year. It was supposed to be 10 issues.


title: Fun to read, full of great ideas.

text: I love HGTV Magazine.  The ideas are fresh, creative and represent many different decorating styles.  I get great ideas every month.


title: 13.05 an issue! How long is that sustainable?????

text: The price is outragious for a magazine that promotes economy and sustainable living. I wouldn't ever teach my children to learn from over priced sources no matter how good it is.


title: Greatest buy ever for gift for relative

text: Quality mag for sister in law which is greatest buy ever.


title: Subscription buy of century for single elder lady!

text: A give away at $5 for year to be a gift for finicky sister in law. I am hoping my wife gave me this great buy from her separate account with Amazon.


title: Informative and value for the money

text: I enjoy this magazine very much and it’s 25% cheaper than the sky and telescope magazine


title: It's the best!

text:
I subscribe to six magazines, I have been cutting back on my expenses but this magazine will be the last to go.
This has been my favorite magazine for over a decade.  I got in on the subscription when the magazine was a few months old.  I keep all the back issues.

What I like best is the medical education provided in each issue.  I have learned about hooves, eyes, tendons, muscles, you name it!  The current studies and worldwide learning are fantastic.  It is a more advanced publication.

If you are going to get ONE magazine and you want more than just fluff, this is the magazine for you.


title: Rolling Stone Magazine

text: After several years of thinking this was a great magazine, I discover that the artiles seem to be written quickly with no real information.  Information that is there I had found previously from other sources.  Will not renew.

title: Not the Same Desired 'Readers Digest' sized format

text:
They've turned the perfectly sized Reader's Digest size TV Guide into a magazine style, with only a national version.  You see limited details, for East/West coast all in the same magazine.  Huge fail on enlarging the size and removing so much from the good old TV Guide.  From what I read print has decreased by the millions in the last few years. .Did they ever think maybe it was due to the size change and the removal of so much detail and though put into each copy?  And..  I won't even mention they are now double issues (2 weeks) at a time.  FAIL.

title: Flawless Publication for Lovers of the Great Outdoors

text: Backpacker is an outstanding magazine for those who love to hike and also for those who enjoy paging through a magazine containing lots of enticing photographs of nature scenes. This magazine is, first and foremost, a publication for lovers of the outdoors and the sport of backpacking. But the pictures of mountains, lakes, streams, wildlife, etc., are enticing to anyone. They can quickly convert the non- outdoorsman type into a nature lover.<br />Besides the great pictures, Backpacker is also excellent for its product testing and for its advice and educational material. Backpacks, mountain bikes, tents, and so forth might seem like simple products, but you would be surprised at how many different varieties and options are available for this type of merchandise. Backpacker describes different items available for sale, complete with web site address and phone# so you can make a purchase, and it often conducts tests to see how the different products stack up. It also offers educational mate... Read more


title: different from the past

text: got my first issue of my new country living subscription pretty quickly. the magazine has gone to a new, bigger size, with glossy pages, which is fine--but there seems to be only about HALF the content of the old country living ( i had a subscription for probably 10 years in the 1990's ). maybe they have exhausted all their ideas, or are unable to find any new country homes to showcase, but it is certainly DISAPPOINTING

title: This is Why Strand is the Best Literary Magazine

text: When you make the decision to subscribe to The Strand Magazine, you won’t be disappointed. This magazine is filled with wonderful short stories, interesting reviews and access to exclusive interviews by popular authors, actors and other influential individuals. Whenever I read this magazine, I feel welcomed into the niche of mystery literature. I also love all the updates and notices of the latest publications. It makes me feel ‘in the know’ and helps me find new books to read. At the end of the day, why do you subscribe to a literary magazine? For the stories of course! It’s a delight to get lost in the exciting stories found only at The Strand Magazine.


title: Very happy customer!

text: Received my first magazine this week...a full month before I expected it to start. This is an incredible deal! Very happy customer!


title: Great resource

text: My children love getting this magazine!


title: Hell no!

text: Good puzzles. Subscription started as promised.  I got one every month for 4 mos.  Then I get a vacation edition, then a fall edition......Not what I was sold.


title: there are some good articles, ideas

text: I bought an RV and purchased this magazine looking for an unbiased opinion on gadgets, accessories, etc.  The magazine is strongly affiliated with GoodSam  (maybe even owned by them) so product recommendations tend, in my opinion, to lean toward things sold at (Good Sam Owned) Camping World.  Aside from that, there are some good articles, ideas, tips&tricks.  I just recommend doing additional research before committing to their product reviews.  In fairness, I've done additional research and went with their recommendation on some things and went a different direction on others..

They include detailed instructions for each pattern -- instructions which can be difficult to decipher but are made much easier the more you use them, and IFF you read their glossary of terms. They also include detailed instructions WITH drawings of a few patterns each month. Their patterns include large sizes and fashion styling, which i very much appreciate. I seem to fall at the borderline of the two sizing charts. I have subscribed for about 6 months and have made more clothing from BurdaStyle than from most of my BigFour patternmakers in America, of which i have about one hundred patterns. The only drawback is that the price is so high! I justify it in its generosity of patterns, beautiful layout, and extremely helpful sewing instruction for newbies like me. I enjoy just looking thru this magazine, and it is one magazine with which I am totally pleased.


title: love this mag!

text: i got this magazine as an xmas gift for my two year old. she loves getting mail, and to have a childrens magazine just for her makes it even more special! she loves it! theres tons of activities to keep her interested


title: Saveur = Yum

text: This was a gift and the giftee has been extremely pleased with the first few editions he has received. I paged through a copy on my last visit and I must say this is one of the best foodie magazines I've reviewed in a while. It has a little of everything; great variety and as we all know "variety is the spice of life"!


title: Lots of interesting information

text: I expected that I'd mostly scan this hoping to find a couple of interesting articles (like I do most websites) but I read everything in the first two issues.  The information is presented at just the right level of detail and length to be interesting without becoming boring.


title: For such a lousy layout, it's sooo inspiring!

text:
So I gather from the reader letters that this magazine has recently undergone a layout overhaul.  It is spare, modern, and I suppose the look was supposed to be sleek, but really it just looks unfinished to me.  Then again, I'm into the lush images of the now defunct Garden Design mag, so there you have it.
Style issues aside, you buy these types of publications for the articles (it's not Playboy after all!) and I came away from my first two issues bursting with inspiration and ideas.
Make sure you check out the book reviews too, I was delighted to find out one of my profs was featured in a new one (Laura Lawson in 'Women in Landscape Architecture, yay Laura!)


title: Not Worth the Hassle

text: I was extremely disappointed with this publication from a content and service standpoint.  Many of the articles are simply rehashed from local writers and not much different than you would find on the website of a local paper.  The delivery issue is what drove me to terminate my subscription.  The issue hits newsstands on Wednesday and is supposed to be delivered to homes by Friday.  On a good week it would come on Saturday and on other weeks not at all.  USA Today also promises a free e-edition to subscribers as a safeguard against delivery issues but once you set up an account to access the e-edition they ask you to subscribe to that as well.  This is the only publication I have ever cancelled due to issues beyond the content.  Very disappointed.


title: 8th grader quality? or 6th grader

text: I used to enjoyed Discover, but the past several months of their radicals changes, got me to think a real dumbing down.Once in awhile, they would put together a good article - but not constantly.How can we enlighten ourselves and improve our intelligence on science etc in the world stage.There are still many of us that do not want to be glued to the computer for science as we would for the tv.Discover's editorial staff ought to get their magazine back on track or the circulation and subscriber base is going to go down the tube. Thank goodness Scientific American, Astronomy, Sky and Telescope, Science News havent fallen down.I am not renewing my subscription unless Discover 'rediscovers' itself.How dumb Americans are!?


title: too many ads

text: Hard to find any articles in here -- it's all advertisements!


title: Four Stars

text: It 'a an ok magazine. Nothing special.


title: It keeps you aware.

text: This was a gift subscription for a friend as I already get it.  I always surprised my long distance friend in our phone conversations with how up to date I was in technology.  I told him Popular Science was one source of information and then sent him the gift subscription as a Christmas gift.  It is well written and has always kept me up to date on the latest and greatest along with looks into the future.  I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know what is happening now and what could happen in the future of technology.


title: Great for mind expanding

text: This was a gift for a friend who has a voracious appetite for life and all it has to offer.  I have always enjoyed the Smithsonian because it is a quality magazine with excellent photos and articles. I would recommend it to anyone with an inquiring mind and appreciation of quality photography.


title: Politics over flavor

text: Most recipes have a large portion of politics. Kinda bitter.


title: Three Stars

text: Pretty pictures and a few nice articles, but way too many ads to be worth the purchase.


title: Five Stars

text: trips a little expense


title: It's fun to hear tidbits about what the soap stars are ...

text: It's fun to hear tidbits about what the soap stars are up to, and also things about the story lines. Sometimes I completely forget the 5 year and 10 year ago recaps, so it is fun to re-read them. Just something to read on the airplane, or a few minutes a day.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent, good content.


title: Pray you don't have any subscription problems

text: The magazine is great, but the subscription services are idiotic.  I paid by check AND they automatically charged my debit card, because they had it from a previous year.  To get one subscription reversed has taken over 2 months of emails, several people involved and the same data requested 3 times!!  They WILL NOT reverse one of the payments. I hate them and will not subscribe ever again!!


title: I WANT TO CANCEL

text: Only one magazine arrived


title: BAD SUSCRIPTION

text: After nine months, only one received 😖


I never received the Amazon  $5.00 gift card. I'm not happy.

title: I am French-born, JE SUIS CHARLIE and I support freedom of speech and press.

text: JE SUIS CHARLIE. I grew up in France and I chuckle when I recall, to this day, the first issue smuggled into school by a classmate, which we were reading in the school courtyard, unbeknownst to our teachers and parents. These cartoonists were a band of longtime friends, united by a love of cartooning, strong convictions about freedom of speech and they targeted anyone and everything. Nobody, no politician, no personality, no current, philosophy, nor religion was immune to their "pencil" and dry sense of humor and they quickly became an institution.<br />I have been living abroad for 20 years and am gladly renewing my subscription to the magazine, not only because i love it, but also, in line of the current events, to show my support. This is now about freedom of speech, press and convictions. ENOUGH!


title: Decent, Should Include Special Issues

text: I subscribed to this magazine and while I look forward to this magazine arriving I wish the subscription included the supplements that you see in the magazine rack.  The extra In-Fisherman magazine issues such as the Gear Guide or the species specific issues (Bass, Catfish, Crappie, etc) that you see in the Barnes & Noble or supermarket magazine racks are NOT included as a part of the subscription.


title: Great Magazine

text: Enjoy reading this publication because there isn't any gossip but plenty of information on the current movie and television events.  I truly look forward to each and every issue.


title: Five Stars

text: Great Magazine!


title: Good for Dad

text: I bought this for my dad's birthday and he loves it. And will continue loving it for the rest of the year.


title: SyFy

text: I wanted to renew my subscription online instead mail.  SyFy is greatest -- rating movies, books, dvds and TV.  I consider it one best in reviewing SciFi ...


title: Great

text: Our 5 year old grandson has loved it . He enjoys just looking and being read from it. Having it come in the mail with his name on it is a plus.


title: Double order

text: Last year through a glitch I accidentally ordered this magazine twice. It took three calls to Amazon to fix the problem.  I ordered the magazine in December 2012. Amazon took the liberty of charging my credit card twice (as in the two orders one of which I canceled last year) in October 2013. First, I did not sign up for auto renewal. Second, I do not want two of these subscriptions. Third, why am I paying for an annual subscription before the year is up? Not happy with Amazon's customer service on this one. For the record this is a gift for my Mom who is really into genealogy  & she really likes this magazine.

text: Do not want to renew dont read that much called to cancel guess you didnot get the message dont want to renew Southern Living

title: Good Companion

text: A great prayer companion. Daily inspirations, daily mass interspersed with history and church teaching.  Now if I csn just get the traditionalists to stop scowling at me when I'm using the iphone version in mass.


title: I am a lifetime subscriber

text:
I measure magazines (and newspapers) by the amount of time it takes me to go through them. As time is my most important resource, I think this is a good metric. The Economist is at the top of the list - I spend a minimum of 6 hours with each issues - sometimes (when there's a special report on an issue, or when the Technology Quarterly is published) close to 10. I cannot spend more than 1 hour with Newsweek or Time, at most 3 with Fortune (the only other business magazine I currently subscribe to).

What I like:

1/ The depth of research, the pro-market bias, the complete lack of interest in fads, the staff's ability to pull obscure subjects out of amorphous anonymity and give them significance through proper framing.

2/ The Obituaries. The Technology Quarterly issues. The mix of politics and economics. The books and arts section. The on-line extras. The global perspective.

3/ The consistency. From one issue to the next, Fortune can be brilliant or thin (at times lacking), dealing with the important or with the mundane. There's no such thing at The Economist, where each issue is packed with articles written at the highest standard.

What I don't like - minor quibbles:

1/ The distribution company responsible for delivering the magazine in Canada. Instead of a set day (which was the case when I lived in the US), in Toronto I get the magazine randomly through the week.

2/ Some graphs (which use only shades of blue) are hard to read by a color blind person as myself.

I don't think there's a better way to spend $127/year.


title: Stay In Touch With Civilization

text: For as long as I can remember, and for years before that, The New Yorker has offered intelligent writing (and clever cartoons too) aimed at thinking readers who are assumed to meet a mininum cultural literacy standard. For those of us exiled in the distant territories, it provides hope in the form of 48 doses each year of civilization that remind us of our roots and help prevent descent into barbarism. I think of the regular reading of The New Yorker as a form of therapy to counteract the base influences of People, In Style, Time and similar magazines, each written in a style that presumes a degree of idiocy among its readers.<br />For anyone willing to give The New Yorker a chance (assuming that its current subscribers won't need to read this review), I think that exposure to writers like John McPhee, Ken Auleta, Roger Angell and others, plus doses of a very urbane point of view, can help counteract some of the truly evil influences of modern society and provide a standard of reference that once was common but which has passed us by.


title: Great

text: Have read these on and off for years.  Great magazine


title: Entertainment Weekly isn't weekly at all.

text: I've subscribed to Entertainment Weekly for years.  It's fun, light reading, irreverent.  But somewhere in the middle of my latest three-year subscription, it went from being a weekly magazine, with the occasional week off for the annoying double issue, to now being a monthly magazine, that claims it has 22 issues a year, even though it only actually produces 12 magazines, but 10 of them are the annoying double issues.  Now, I paid for a subscription for a magazine that comes out weekly.  How is it okay for them to keep my money and just now start sending it to me once a month instead of once a week?  I know this isn't earth-shattering, and my life will continue relatively unscathed, but it just seems like another example of big businesses doing whatever the hell they want and consumers just have to put up with it.  Boo!  Entertainment Weekly!


title: Five Stars

text: very nice magazine, just as we remember it


title: Prompt Delivery

text: A++. Delivered in  condition as expected and delivered promptly. Recommend.


title: Cure for Homesickness

text: As a Texas expat living in NY, I look forward to the arrival every month!  I especially love the indepth articles written by Skip Hollingsworth.


title: A MUST Have Magazine!

text: This magazine is a great resource but I absolutely LOVE the September fall preview issue. I rely on it every year to know what I should record on my DVR and what I should skip. As a cable customer with a DVR and an on-screen guide TV listings menu  I promise you that this magazine is still helpful. The magazine makes recommendations and suggestions for the entire month. The articles introduce me to shows I never would've found scanning through the on-screen guide. Plus, you frequently get to download special programming calendars around the holidays. This magazine is a must have if you love watching TV and movies.


title: Five Stars

text: Love their new activism! I have started getting this for all the teens in my life.


title: Best. Cooking. Magazine. Ever.

text:
I've tried most of the other cooking magazines, and I retain affection for all of them, but this is my fave. The articles aren't just about cooking - they mesh food with its sources, embed recipes in their cultural context, and feature tools from the sublime to the humble. They have a good section on hard-to-find ingredients, an issue every year on everyone's 100 favorite cooking things (from egg slicers to four star restaurants), and lists of cooking events.

Highly recommended.


title: Helpful

text: Ideas and recipes


title: Best Magazine

text: Great magazine ...real reporting...intelligent articles.


title: Makes my nerds happy

text: What more can I say? My boys love this magazine and learn a lot from it. It's great to have around the house - there's always something of interest in there (even for those of us who are not science-minded).


title: Bad business.

text: The first one year subscription I only received 2 issues. I hope the second year I get more.

text: I want to review this issue- how do I do it ?


title: always late

text: i find this paper usually late. if you are planning to use this for an auction guide you will be disappointed. usually it is suppose to arrive on saturday and it may be monday or as late as wednesday  extremly unreliable


title: Excellent magazine for novices and advanced users alike

text:
When I bought PC World at a store, the cover looked appealing. It had an advice on how to surf the Internet trouble free. So I brought it home and started reading it. I was amazed! I have never read a magazine cover to cover before, but I read this one word for word. This mag is filled with tons of reviews of best software and new gadgets. It also has unbiased articles written in a balanced simple English and technical language on computing in general. Perhaps the best part about the magazine is the CD they include with it. iT is filled with PC World recommended software that will make your life much easier.

 IF you never heard of PC World, you don't know what you're missing. Go to the nearest store and ask for the copy. You'll be glad you did

title: Simply the Best!

text: This is the best quilting magazine I have ever picked up.  It is beautifully done, it is unique and the articles are interesting.  But the thing I like best about the magazine is that every issue has a project complete with instructions that are so clearly written that even someone like me who is something of a novice when it comes to embelished quilting is inspired to give them a try.<br />This magazine is very well done and my hat is off to the writers and editors.

title: Can't review till I recieve it

text: I have yet to recieve the first issue of my paid subscription. I would like to say,'great magazine',but I have not recieved one yet. I still waiting 1/24/2007


title: Fantastic Mag for a variety of audiences

text: I've been a Wired subscriber for several years and intend on being one for many more.  Every issue is packed with a wide variety of articles for whichever end of the "geek" scale you fall in--tech, video, medical, hollywood, DIY, gear, etc.  If one article doesn't interest me, it's almost guaranteed the next will.  Their gear reviews are always spot-on and typically also span multiple product types (tents, digi cameras, earphones, flashlights, routers, etc)  over several pages.  In a time where publishers are closing up shop or severely shortening magazines, a typical issue of Wired is a hefty tome.  The articles are well-written, heavily researched, and lengthy.  In bookstores, it's sometimes sorted with the computer magazines, but don't mistake it for anything so one-dimentional.  If you consider yourself a geek, you owe it to yourself to read (and maybe subscribe to) Wired.

text: Nice to look at, good reference


title: what a good way to find good mysteries and articles

text: i happened to learn of The Strand from one of the PBS stations.  it was given as reward for singing up.  i have continued getting the magazine, it has so many features and book titles, i can't imagine what i did before i had The Strand to guide me.  the presentation is great and i eagerly await the next issue.  Thank you to the editor of the magazine.<br />Christine Carparelli


title: extremely disapointed

text: Unlike the past, current TV guide issues are worthless at any price and insulting as a gift for anyone.  The guide does not give complete daily (twenty four hour)TV listings as I remember it.  Whoever produces it has severely damaged it's reputation.


title: Not the same PM

text: This is not the same PM as I remember in the past.  The layout of each page is confusing and a bit hard to follow.  The offer was good ($), but I will probably not renew after the first year.

title: Never got a single issue of my subscription

text:
I did not use Amazon to subscribe to MacLife, as far as I can remember there was an offer on Version Tracker in February 2007. Nevertheless, I have not seen a single issue of the publication. I contacted their customer service a couple of times and finally asked for a refund but did not receive it either.

Subscribe at your own peril.


So colorful, makes the read bright and cheerful, puts one in a good mood. Like all the ideas and helpful hints.


title: Always Love Glamour

text: I have been subscribing to Glamour more than 10 years! It has wonderful articles, info and tips.. so I will continue to subscribe.


title: Don't  do it! Amazon won't honor its commitment to cancel!

text: Magazine is awesome but i cancelled the subscription before the trial end date and Amazon is STILL billing me at the non-trial's outrageous price.! Great magazine but Amazon does not honor the "trial' dates !


title: Great Magazine . . . EXCEPT . . . .

text:
When my daughters were little, we loved this magazine.

Then I noticed something that I did not like.

Most of the stories were about little boys, doing cool activities.

The girls were always passive.  They were either the King's
daughter, or helping mommy.  Yawn.

Ironically, most of the stories were written by women.  They
had all kinds of excuses when I wrote them.  Always in denial.

If you have a daughter, I still recommend the magazine.

But PLEASE get on their case about this!


title: Dissapointing

text:
Have to say that I am underwhelmed by this paper.  The whole investment strategy is momentum based.  Every day they select the IBD "top 50" which purports to be those stocks that rate the highest on their selection system.  However, they repeatedly advise against buying any stock that has increased by 5% or more over its chart base.  However, virtually all of the stocks on the top 50 are above 5% of their breakout or they wouldn't qualify as momentum stocks in the first place.  The magic moment for an IBD pick just really does not exist

The system is absolutely useless in timing your buys relative to the market. A "99" relative strength stock is just that in a tumbling as well as a rising market.  What the system is good for is picking stocks that will likely lead the pack in a solid bull market; so, its more like a good times stock picker.  Rely on it for true "investment advice" at your peril.

title: Beware of auto renewal... no cancellation allowed

text: Beware auto renewal.  It is a short magazine with few pages and half the magazine is ads. I bought for $7 and it showed up randomly. Then it auto renewed without me knowing for $30.  I tried to cancel right away but they don’t allow cancellations even though the magazine won’t be delivered for 2 more months.

text: We have read Reader's Digest since we were children, and love the stories, etc.  We were so happy to be able to get a subscription at such a great price.  Thank-you!!!


title: Attractive magazine focusing on upmarket wines

text: Wine Spectator is an enjoyable magazine that's well-laid out and often interesting to read.  However, it mainly focuses on pricey wines (as it should, being a pricey magazine), and the articles about wine-related subjects like matching cheese with wine are sometimes lacking in depth.  Still, it's a pleasant magazine which immerses its readers in the culture of wine, and each issue does highlight a few modestly-priced wines.

It's very large with many full-sized photographs.  It's worth subscribing to just for that, let alone all the information it gives!

text: This magazine is great! It brings up all aspects of being vegan. Inspiring for those new to veganism as well as those who have been so for many years.


title: The Best Linux Magazine Available

text: I've purchased several Linux magazines over the years and find myself coming back to Linux Format time and again, from the bookstore even, regardless of the the price.  But what people I don't think realize is that the magazine is not published in the US.  Its published in Britain and is sold primarily there.  So when its sold in the states it is, unfortunately, subject to the current exchange rate.


title: Loved it!

text: Very Informative, purchased as a gift and they loved it!


title: Entertainment Weekly Provides Entertainment, Weekly

text: If you want to keep up on the latest entertainment news and critiques, this is the magazine to get.  Occasionally, Steven King writes an editorial, and they are funny and intelligent (love it). The magazine covers movies, TV, books and music.


title: Typical Photography Magazine

text: Purchased this because my teenager is interested in photography as a potential career.  His observation was similar to mine,  "It's all ads".  Still the pictures are good.


title: Enjoyable reading.

text: I really enjoy Reader’s Digest.


title: HIghlight of my month

text: Always engrossing and highlights how American Vogue has lost its way.  I tear through this when it arrives while the American version just sits there until I have time to go through it.  Always inspiring and the best way to grab at the new and worthwhile trends.

title: Number 1 at our house!

text: The variety and unique nature of the articles makes this the ONE magazine both of us read!!  I've even given it as a gift.


title: Cover to cover

text: When my "Country Living" arrives I stop what I'm doing to see what's in the newest issue.  I have fallen in love with this magazine!  Our library sells old magazines and recently I struck gold when a lady decided to give up 10 years worth of "Country Living"!  I am saturated with good ideas and still reading!  The one thing I've noticed is that there are far fewer advertisements now than a few years ago---how many magazines can say that?  I enjoy things from the past and the creative way people use them.  "Country Living" does a great job of showcasing both of these areas.


title: Love this mag

text: I have subscribed to THIS OLD HOUSE MAGAZINE for 3 years now and I still get excited about every issue. As an older home owner who grew up in a do-it-yourself family, I like the new ideas and the how-to-do-it information in each new issue.


title: Great Magazine

text: I subscribed to  Ready Made Magazine a year ago because the cover got my attention and the price from Amazon was right so I decided to give it a try. I LOVE IT!! Every issue is full of Ideas to- DO MAKE BUILD COOK & DRINK things for everyday life. I'm subscribing again and intend to for many years to come. Thanks for a great magazine.

title: Not sure it's worth it

text: I used to really love everything Magnolia, but honestly,  I'm so tired of their design style after 6+ years. Everything is black, white, grey, dark green, wood, and sometimes dark blue. It's boring. I know people still really love their style and I respect that, but to me, real design means working with all colors (not all at the same time, obviously), blending colors,  patterns, textures, furniture styles, and art into one cohesive room. I'm not sure I consider her a true designer because she's afraid to come out of her box to combine colors other than her standard go to's, and patterns. I cancelled my subscription because I think it's a lot of fluff, unfortunately. Sorry Joanna-lovers.


title: downloading the New Yorker onto Kindle

text: Last May I purchased a Kindle Fire.  Began downloading copies of the New Yorker, no problem.  Since mid-August the whole process has changed and I have not been able to download a single issue.  I am asked the same information constantly, I have been told the address I entered is incorrect (I've lived here for 40 years and have been receiving the magazine close to that.)  After being directed to many different sites, I have given up, and in pure frustration and disgust I have cancelled my subscription.  I must note that the operator who spoke with me couldn't have shown less interest as to my reasons.  Great customer service!  Why did the New York have to change something that has worked so well in the past?  I have heard from others who have had the problem as myself.

title: Too much advertising!

text: Will the substave articles are interesting and informative, there is too much advertising. It makes me wonder if I have purchased a magazine to be informed about new subjects or have purchased advertising.


title: so reading Art et Decoration is like revisiting all over gain

text: I'm an old and avid friend of Art et Decoration, the European style of décor is quite different than here in the United States, versatile and unique.  Have lived in Europe and visited France and Sweden several times since, so reading Art et Decoration is like revisiting<br />all over gain.  Pleasurable reading, and viewing the excellent photography.  Excellent publication.


title: It wasn't what I thought it was

text: From Betty G. Howard  BGHOWARD@aol.com  I believe this is a publication for dealers.  It isn't an antique magazine as I thought it was.  It is very interesting, but it is not what I wanted.  I am sorry I probably made the mistake without exploring it further.  It was among all the magazine subscriptions so I thought it was a magazine.  Sincerely, Betty Howard

text: only received one and it came to my address not the designated address, I want a complete refund.


title: Extension?

text: Something is wrong with my New Yorker subscription.  Prior to your "extension" the sticker on the cover of my New Yorker indicted: "29FEB16"  With my extnsion you show: "May 2015".  What is going on here?


title: Love it!

text: As a new motorhome owner this has been a really nice magazine to receive.  Great articles on different topics and good reviews of products.  I definitely recommend subscribing to keep updated on the latest gadgets and motorhome news.


title: One Star

text: I've received no issues yet


title: Not like it used to be.

text: Magazine is so thin now.  Not worth it.


title: Four Stars

text: Nice magazine met expectations


title: Solid Mystery Magazine

text:
If you love mysteries, then you should be reading Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (known as EQMM).  As the January, 2011 edition proclaimed, the mag has been on news stands for seventy years!  That's an impressive achievement.  They've achieved this record by presenting good, solid mystery stories in each issue.  So good that many of them have won prestigious literary awards, including the Agatha, the Edgar, and many, many more.  Nearly every year, since 1946, the magazine has included at least one award winner.

Ellery Queen contains a variety of mystery styles.  These include hard-boiled detective stories, "cozies," psychological suspense, crime noir, and more.  There is a Department of First Stories, which debuts the work of a new fiction writer.  There is also the Black Mask, which caters to Chandler and Hammett fans.  The Review section provides a first-look at new novels, to help you narrow down your book store choices.  And don't forget the Puzzle - an action packed crossword filled with mystery.

Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine?  Highly recommended.


title: Make sure you really want this

text:
I bought this because the magazine had a reputation for showcasing the finest writers around. To paraphrase a former president, "define finest". If you like pretentious self-aggrandizing "what would my life have been like if I'd been born an armadillo" introspective BS, and fiction that judiciously avoids anything that resembles plot, then this is the magazine for you. Those of you who like random stream of conscious drivel passed off as literature really need to buy this magazine.

On the other hand, if you think stories should entertain, enlighten and inform as well as define the human state, then you better look elsewhere. This is not your style of magazine.


title: Three Stars

text: Rather thin magazine for Christmas.  No many decorating pics,  mostly items to buy.  Hope others that follow are better


title: Better off following blogs for home decorating ideas

text: I expected more from the magazine. I cancelled my subscription because I got more value and ideas from following home interior blogs. And there's barely any editorial content in the magazine. I didn't subscribe to get a book-full of ads.


title: not great anymore

text: I have been a subscriber for almost 40 years and Sunset magazine has progressively become insignificant as a magazine - quality, quantity, etc. are increasingly diminishing.


title: Great magazine for home gardeners etc.

text: We've found a lot of useful information on urban gardening and chicken care from this magazine. We're pretty impressed with the variety of content.


title: Provides different info each week.

text: Love this magazine. I wish it wasn’t so expensive. I try to buy a subscription when they are “having a special”. It provides all kinds of different articles.


title: Alaska

text: Originally ordered this magazine because of an article about Ladd AFB. I lived there in the 50's and it brought back many memories. There is so much that can be told about life in those days.<br />My family moved from Nellis AFB in Las Vegas Nevada to Alaska.  A dramatic life change,  two opposite climates.


title: But what I have read I have liked.

text: I have only received one issue so far. But what I have read I have liked.


title: Four Stars

text:
This is a quality publication.  I have referred to it off and on over the last 40 years.

This is my most recent subscription to this publication.


title: Great Magazine

text: Great magazine. Highly recommend it.


title: the best something for everyone

text: it has diversity .offers online view of galleries that are featured i recommend it for anyone that likes art or wants t keep up on it


title: Great mag, no ads

text:
No biased or sugar coated reviews since MCN does not take ads.  Great repair questions and answers section and great bike reviews.

Good read.


title: Good reading

text: My Son loves it.


title: Subscription still finds me waiting to receive it

text: Can't say it met expectations even though it has been paid for in April but will not receive my first copy until July.  Not the best way to handle subscripons.


title: Five Stars

text: I really enjoy the magazine because I like to know what is no each night.


title: Fire Engineering Magazine

text: This was a renewal for my son who is a  Lieutenant Paramedic/Fire-Fighter. He enjoys the magazine and as long as he continues to want it I will order the renewals.


title: Nice colorful food magazine

text:
I had purchased a single copy around Thanksgiving and the cover had sold me.  I love the inside as well many foods choices for that particular time of the year, festive ideas and a trivia section on Thanksgiving traditions which I used at my own dinner and my guests loved.
They give you a variety of choices so that at least one or two options are just right for your family or guests.  They keep up with the times with some diabetic choices (even adds for ingredients that would be a better fit for diabetics) as well as gluten free choices.
This week I received my first issue in the mail and this holiday issue is just as tantalizing as the previous Thanksgiving one. The recipes are for both everyday food as well as entertaining foods.  Already picked a few that I am planing to make.  I surely can see how this would make a wonderful gift that will make the recipient think of you as the issues arrive all year long.


title: One Star

text: Too many million$ houses advertised and not enough cottages and modest houses.  Articles mundane.


title: lame

text:
I like this magazine, but the delivery and customer service associated with it is insane!
I ordered it May 5th and the first issue isn't schedule to be delivered until August 25th!
When I called, the people on the phone were jerks and now I can get a refund.


title: creative decor

text: fantasies worked out with furniture and beautiful interior spaces.  Excellent photography....well-thought out commentary....every issue is a delight....color, texture, and adventure


title: Monthly trash finally stopped

text: I subscribed this VOGUE for 1 year and I doubted the quality of this US edition magazine. There was barely nothing in the magazine but advertisements. It seems a little bit attractive when you see the cover but nobody can not ever find a real thing in the magazine. 90% of the content are ad. and the US VOGUE has no taste at all! It is absolutely trash when it compares with Italian VOGUE even Chinese VOGUE. I have read all the 12 issues and did not see any improvement/change. Stop reading it might be a wise choice. I am glad now it is finally stopped delivering.


title: Gift

text: It was a gift


title: Five Stars

text: Love it


title: I Expected Better

text:
Some of the articles were informative and well-written. Many were not. The editing feels on par with one of those free community magazines that you can pick up outside a grocery store.

In addition, Acres USA regularly provides space for uncritical presentations of "woo-woo" pseudosciences, such as biodynamics, homeopathy, and dowsing, treating them from an editorial perspective as the equivalent of evidence-based practices, such as rotational grazing or companion planting.

All in all, I expected far better for the price, and have cancelled my subscription.


title: Still published!

text: Handy size makes it portable.  Interesting one to two-page articles.


title: Loaded with entertainment

text: This Mag is fully loaded and I love it.  I have purchased it many times in the past but since my order (over a month and a half ago) I have yet to recieve it...so I am alittle disapointed with that end of the service.


title: Five Stars

text: Best Gardening Magazine!


title: My fault that I did not read the description clearly ...

text: My fault that I did not read the description clearly. I did not realize that it is a Boy Scout magazine with religious overtones.

text: Super magazine for all amateur.


title: Cerebral

text: Cerebral but fun to read. You will learn every time you pick tip. Variety of topics but all necessary if you're going to be connected.


title: Reader's Digest  good buy!

text: Interesting short articles, enjoy this classic periodical.


title: Order and Never Received

text: I never received the magazine. I contacted support and got nowhere. It’s a real shame. I love the magazine but I’ll never order it again.


title: My daughter loves this magazine!

text: My daughter loves all of the fashion, make-up, nutrition and exercise articles as well as celebrity 'gossip'. Sure was cheaper than buying them each month!


title: Beautiful Photography

text: Great articles about different bird species with beautiful pictures.


title: Excellent Crosswords

text: This and the National Observer Book of Crosswords are my favorites, both from Kappa Publishing.  These puzzles are also themed and most who like harder puzzles would prefer both books.  I think Kappa Publishing has improved the quality of this magazine since I last purchased it which was several years ago.  I also think the print and layout of the puzzles are excellent.  I would highly recommend a subscription directly from the publisher if you are interested in a faster turnaround time.  There's a mixture of smaller and larger, Sunday-size puzzles.  Keep up the awesome quality with this publication!


title: Outstanding and FUN!!!

text:
If you like themed puzzles on the harder side of the street, you will adore these.  I love harder puzzles with themes and these are some of the best I have ever done.  If you don't know, you should check out what the US version of the National Observer was.  It was an actual publication created by the man who started the The Wall Street Journal and was in existence from 1962 to 1977.  I would love to find a copy in some library on microfiche.  But, I digress.

There are a total of 70 crosswords in each issue and from puzzle 31-70, the puzzles are the larger, Sunday-type version.  The man who edits the publication, Mr. Preston, seems to take great care because the selections are varied, delightful and enjoyable.  I also like the fact that Kappa Publishing takes great care to eliminate any errors even in the headers and footers.  I'm sure he has a lot of help in doing this, too.  But, it's obvious, that the company cares about every detail.

The books are digest-size so you could carry in your backpack, purse or other bag, which is cool for the train or something.  Something I appreciate, too, is the fact that the books do not crumble after a lot of abuse in terms of falling apart from the spine.  The spine is pliable because unlike any crossword magazines I've ever worked, you can open a page, move it around a bit and the book lays flat.  To me, that's a great asset.  The paper is akin to a slightly heavier newspaper, so your pencil or pen glides quite smoothly.  I use erasable ink pens for my crosswords and the paper is awesome with these.

There's not much of a discount here at Amazon for a subscription, so frankly I would plunk down the extra bucks to start getting the subscription faster.  It's ridiculous to wait months when you have paid for it.  Mail the coupon inside one of the books or just go to the Kappa company website and order online directly.

I hope everyone enjoys solving these crosswords!

text: It's National Geo!<br />Wish they still did the clay base photos.


title: Not the same old Mother Earth News

text: I subscribed several months ago.  I just received my first issue.  I used to read the news regularly years ago.  Retiring, I thought I could some info on gardening, livestock, home solutions, etc.  I was severely disappointed to find that the issue I received was nothing but a catalog.  No articles like I remembered (and I still have some of the old issues), but just advertisements for books and items mostly written by city people who have little or no practical ideas about country, life, repurposing, recycling, etc.  Also, most of what I read was biased toward areas in the northwest or northeast US.  If you are located in these areas, and have elementary knowledge of rural life, you may have a need for this magazine.  Very disappointed!!!


title: Five Stars

text: Definitely liked this preview of Fall fashions and other articles.  Didn't expect such a huge issue!


title: Advertising and inane trivia

text: I am really disappointed in this magazine. It is full of advertising and product links. In addition, in place publishing articles of scientific interest at age-appropriate reading levels, most of the features are collections of random trivia. Finally, as a parent who also limits screen time, the fact that every page directs kids to Nat'l Geo's website off-putting.


title: Five Stars

text: Husband enjoyed the magazine


title: Just what I wanted

text: Great magazine.. Great price


title: It’s a pass.

text: I wanted to wait to write a review until I had received  several issues. These are boring. There really hasn’t been a single story I have been interested in.


title: Great writing

text: This is my way of supporting journalism, by subscribing to one of the best out there!


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent for railroad employees in the Northeast.


title: Unsolicited renewal

text: When I am not being made aware that there is an automatic renewal of my subscription it makes me feel like being taken advantage of,…a feeling not really positive


title: Great read.

text: I love this magazine! Even better, my thirteen year old reads it voluntarily! Ir's informative and even funny. I plan to renew my subscription.


title: What happened to my last issue

text: I like the magazine, but did not receive the last issue.


title: Great Magazine

text: I'm 19 and I think it's a really cool magazine. I feel like it's more for my generation. I would recommend it to anyone, it's not too lengthy, the last issue I got only had 80 pages, so my only complaint would be that it'm not long enough.


title: One Star

title: Love EW!

text: I am a 10 year subscriber of EW. Enjoy it for movies, tv, book and music reviews and information. Only wished EW would do covers of more of the actors, tv, and movies I personally enjoy the most.


title: It's okay but I expected something a little more upscale and historic.

text: I'm not sure what I expected, but I am a little disappointed so far. I think I was expecting more bibical/historical/literature.


title: Book Junkie

text: If you are an obsessive reader like me, this magazine was meant for you!  I orginally got my subscription as a birthday gift and have renewed it several times.  I can't imagine being without this magazine, the reviews are great and I have found several books that I never would have known about on my own.


title: I have no use for this magazine any more!

text:
Wow, what a plummet!  I was a subscriber from the very first issue until now (decades!)

Now it isn't worth the paper it's printed on. (Save those trees!)

Useless, irrelevant to my life.  Not because I no longer care about fashion, or even (and I'm not ashamed enough to admit it) celebrity news, but because like virtually every other fashion magazine today, it has adopted a social/political agenda way outside of its original lane.  I subscribed to these glossies for sheer escape and harmless enjoyment, but now I have to be preached to on every page about issues I bone up on in more legitimately newsworthy periodicals.  AND there's no diversity of viewpoint in any of these formerly nonpolitical magazines, to boot!  So,  good riddance!

I don't care what fashion magazines and their celebrity spokespeople think of politics and the burning issues of the day!  I never subscribed to them for that, and I never will!

P.S. Needless to say, I have also unsubscribed to Vogue, Marie Claire, W, Harper's Bazaar, and others all for the same reason.  I have unsubscribed to In Style, but they keep sending me issues anyway.  Screw it!  Keep the remaining issues and give them to someone who really cares!

P.S.S.  I gave this magazine one star only because they wouldn't let me submit this review without it!  Ugh!

I am an unabashed Martha Stewart fan!  The biggest reason I love her magazine is the visually stunning photography.  And the recipes!!!  When my magazine comes I can't wait to start pouring over it to see what delicious concoctions have been presented...and the crafts!!!!!!  Super cute crocheted mice, or soft stuffed bunnies made out of a old men's dress shirt...  the possibilities are endless.

I completely recommend this mag.  :)

If you want a magazine based on fashion but merged with stories and interviews of top celebrities, then W magazine is perfect for you.

This large magazine is not only interesting, but beautiful. It has pages and pages of high quality, remarkable photos. Not to mention tons of beautiful fashion ads. If you live for fashion, or if you simply admire it; you will get latched onto W.

Celebrities such as Kate Moss, Mary Kate Olsen & Lindsay Lohan have graced the cover of this magazine. Pick it up even if you're the SLIGHEST bit interested. You won't be disappointed!


title: A great gift to yourself or others

text:
I have subscribed to this colorful, useful little magazine since issue #1. I just used the last issue to prepare my family's Thanksgiving dinner, which was easy, quick and delicious (well, that's what everyone said). You can see a photo in the customer image section above. You can see the turkey, the cranberry compote, the brussels sprouts, the mashed potatoes and the pecan pie - all made from recipes in the magazine.

Every issue is well-organized with main courses, side dishes, desserts, and special focuses. Issue 38, the one I just received for December, has features on shallots, pomegranates, holiday cookies, vanilla, and liquid measuring cups. Each recipe is designed to be quick (usually under 30 minutes), has nutritional information, and is well-organized to help you get the job done. Just to let you know, I'm a 60-year-old man, I have never read anything else by or associated with Martha Stewart, I have never watched her on TV, and I started to enjoy cooking more after I started reading this magazine.

And kudos to Brandon Hansen, another reviewer, who found a much-needed index to these volumes at the omninerd web site (and even more kudos to the person who did the index). Just do a search for "everyday food" at that site.


title: My Toddler LOVES These!

text: Especially the trading cards


title: Changing world issues

text: Very informative!


I enjoy the USA Today and have subscribed for many years. But, any one who would pay over $1 a day is crazy. Call the subscription department direct and negotiate their best deal, it will be at least 30-40% off this price for them to grab a new subscriber. After you have bargained them down, tell them you want 3 years at that price. Same deal on renewal, negotiate direct. Or, let it expire live without it for 30 days and you are considered a new subscriber and take advantage of new subscriber rates. Or, you can renew in your name but use another phone number (that is how the search subscription status) and you can even renew in a friends address and then in 2 weeks transfer the subscription back to your place. I have never paid more than 60 cents a day ever. Great paper, stinking price for a 5 day paper.

text:
I have enjoyed RD for more than 20 years. It seems there are more ADs than articles now.
It is annoying to browse RD to find out article pages. this is just too much.
This is a catalog with good articles.
If they keep decent ratio between ADs and articles, I'm willing to pay more.

You will never be able to cancel ESPN unless you cancel your credit card.

Seriously, once they have their hooks in you, it's all over. If you really want this magazine, use a credit card only for this purpose and be prepared to get rid of it afterwards. I've called them up twice to cancel and THEY NEVER GO AWAY.

title: I only received 3 issues in the last 12 months

text:
I purchased the yearly subscription last May for my boyfriend's birthday present...we only received 3 issues of the magazine in 1 year.

They should issue refunds to their customers.


title: Do not purchase special deal!!!

text: Ordered a 4 month special deal for 73 cents. Now they have automatically renewed it without making me aware and Amazon can not cancel it. So, I am out $37 and my daughter doesn’t even like the magazine.


title: Great magazine, but I haven't gotten it!

text: This is a great magazine, but I haven't gotten it yet! I actually got a bill directly from the magazine for a full subscription amount. It's been difficult getting this corrected. I'm very displeased.

title: In Response to "International Geographic"

text:
Not certain I understand the fuss about National Geographic covering so many international geographic topics and issues.
1. Hello! The magazine is the journal of the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. (You think Scientific American won't cover the Nobel Prize because it is awarded in Sweden?)
2. Geography is about spatial analysis and scale. Geographic issues cannot be contained within a single formal regional border. (For example, can you really look at El Paso, TX, without investigating it's relationshiip to Ciudad Juarez right across the border?)
3. My family has been reading this magazine for 50 years. It has always covered the entire world, as "GEOGRAPHY" means 'a description of the world'.
4. What about newer features such as ZIP CODE, which covers in detail one single micro-region of the US.
5. To say that it should primarily cover the US is a surprisingly narrow, US-centric view of what really matters in the world. This is the point of view that explains the sad state of complete geographic knowledge in the US.
But enough of that. Still the best magazine, not just for us Geography majors, but for seeing how geography fits into the entire academic world. If you want to know how sense of space and place is related to physical and natural science, as well as politics, economics, anthropology and history, this is the best value for the money.


title: Disappointing content

text:
I subscribed to this magazine thinking it would be about health, fitness, and above all, working out.  The headlines on the cover seemed to suggest that was true, with the biggest fonts advertising things like "flat abs now" and "maximize your workout".  In reality, the content of the magazine is mostly beauty (how that counts as "health" is beyond me) and weight-loss.  Oh, the endless, endless articles about "burn more fat!" "three new foods that will help you burn fat!" "drop pounds with this easy exercise!"  I don't need to lose weight and I found that these articles just played into my growing impression, as issue after issue dropped on my doormat, that the magazine views women as vapid, stereotypical beings whose only desire is to look good, whether through exercise (almost inevitably restricted to cardio and yoga), the "right" work-out clothes (really?) or knowing what dress is in fashion or what color make-up to buy.  If you enjoy that sort of thing, that's fine- it is essentially one step above Cosmopolitan on the seriousness scale.  If you're looking for actual information about working out and building muscle, know that Women's Health magazine is barely aware that these things exist, and when it does, it will come wrapped in the form of "ten minutes a day to tone your bum like a super-model!" or something equally cringe-inducing.

Frankly, looking around, it seems your choice is either a magazine that barely addresses fitness, or going straight to the hardcore muscle-building mags.  I was hoping for something reasonably in-between with Women's Health, but failed to find it.  If someone knows of such a magazine, I'd be interested to hear it (I tried Women's Fitness, which suffers from the same problems as Women's Health).  The good news is that my subscription to Women's Health seemed to get me a good price on Men's Health, which I am switching over to because some reviewers recommended it for those disappointed with the content of WH.  I'll see how that works out.

title: Poor Scientific Content

text: Magazine has a liberal political skew with poor scientific content. I love science but biased content, I am not for it. I am cancelling my subscription.


title: Pretty pictures, needs an editor that reads.

text: Photos are beautiful, but if you like to read the articles, you’ll hate this magazine. Light fluff writing that feels like skimming through click bait headlines. Many of the informative asides were filled with wrong information. One article just ended in the middle without picking up on another page. Either that, or it was just eight sentences long. I probably won’t purchase again.

title: This publication is no longer a fashion digest!

text: Several years ago, I subscribed to and enjoyed this magazine... But not now!!  Instead of it being filled with with runway fashions, it seems to be simply a strange synopsis of anything but fashion. I want to un-subscribe!!  There is zero information in the magazine to allow me to do this!  There is no address anywhere!  Please help me to un-subscribe and to subscribe to a different publication in its place.  Judi C


title: One Star

text: Please stop my subscription.


title: The recipes aren’t appealing

text: So far very disappointed with the recipe in the first volume. Not to mention they changed me for a subscription last year and never sent a magazine out, not one! This is the first magazine we have received.


title: Great magazine but it took forever for the subscription to activate...

text: I like this magazine as I bought it in barnes & noble many times previous to subscribing.  The only downside is the subscription on Amazon took 2+ months to activate.  I missed at least two issues due to this.  It might have been quicker to have sent in the lap flap subscription card.


title: Subscription & Magazine

text:
Let me state first that this was one of the fastest magazines I've ever recieved after ordering on Amazon. Normally it'll take a few weeks and the issues will be wonky for a while (you'll get a previous month and be behind before catching up) but I could've gone to the store and gotten it in the same time frame. I think it took less than a week and a half to get my first issue, and it was the current month's issue.

The magazine itself is one I love. I'm not someone who is too into fashion, but I enjoy some makeup tips and love to read about health-related items, so this is a perfect magazine for me. Even if you're not an exercise fantatic (heck, even if you don't exercise at all) you'll likely enjoy this magazine as there's something for everyone in it.
