title: Subscriptions are not Amazons strength.  Order one, and wait, and wait.

text: Second one I've purchased.  I should have remembered.  Amazon is a great place to purchase many items.  And, I love being a customer.  But, Magazines are not a good fit.  Be prepared to wait two months for your first issue.<br />And, also, be prepared to not get all the issues.  I'm hoping that I'm the only one who has this problem. Cause Amazon is great, and so it MacLife.


title: Great gift for young sport enthusiast

text: We bought this as a present for our grandson who asked for it again this year.


title: Good for the Do-It-Yourselfer

text: I really enjoy the HGTV magazine.  It has enough articles to keep it interesting and you don't feel that you bought a book full of ads (there are plenty of ads, but that is what pays for the articles!).


title: ($24 for 12 issues) directly from publisher

text: I just renewed my subscription direct from publisher for $34 (2 years-12 issues). Still expensive but my wife loves the magazine.

Great magazine, especially given the $5 price tag. It's jam packed with goodness. I like the Reader's Best tips - advice given to other cooks from various readers. Usually there's a writeup about specific items with different stars posting their favorite recipes (

text: Not like popular mechanics used to be but still OK!


title: The gift that keeps on giving!!

text: I purchased this subscription for my Daughters 18th Birthday. She loves to dress well and keeps up with the latest fashions, thankfully on a budget. She screamed with Joy when the magazines started coming and she looks forward to the next issue every single month. She said that 'it's the gift that keeps on giving'! Great price too! Highly recommend.


title: Review

text: Received first issue of this magazine and was surprised that it was not the regular magazine size it was more of a pocket size.  Great size for traveling with.

title: DO NOT Give Them Your Credit Card

text:
I made two mistakes: The first was subscribing to Men's Health in the first place and the second was using a credit card to sign up for a 2-year subscription.

With more than year left on my current subscription I was checking my credit bill and discovered that Men's Health had auto-renewed my subscription for another two years. They just charged me, apparently hoping that I wouldn't notice. I protested to both my credit card and Men's Health. The magazine canceled my renewal and refunded my money.

However, just 3-4 months later I was checking my credit card...and guess what popped up. That's right...Men's Health had again charged me more than $27 for a new 2-year subscription. As before, I still a year left on my original subscription.

It's like they do this on purpose because as there is literally no way to directly cancel your subscription on their website. Nor is there a customer services number prominently displayed. I tried messaging their customer service line and my note bounced back. I guess I'll have to find a phone number and call them direct.

I would highly recommend against paying them with a credit card. But if you must (as must of us do), check your credit card bills carefully and regularly. It's likely that you'll find an extra subscription charged by Men's Health.

text: Excellent! Exactly what I wanted!


title: Love H&G England!

text: What can you say about perfection?  There is nothing out there even close to this magazine for interiors. Inspired very time I open a copy. Thank you for making my life better.


Well guys, I have to break with most reviewers.  My subscription arrived without any kind of protective cover, so it had some damage.  Content wise, it seemed as though 50% of the mag was simply advertisements.  Just not enough interesting content for me to keep a subscription.  Not sure if this has always been the case as there seems to be some long time subscribers who really enjoy the mag, but it ended up being a disappointment for me and I cancelled after the first issue.

text: The magazine itself is great.  I got this as a gift for my mother.  It keeps coming to my house even though I've changed the shipping address.


title: Real Simple

text: I enjoy this magazine.  The price is right, and the item usually arrives on time.  Sometimes it gets here after I see them in the stores.


title: Insightful, Sweet and a great read.

text: The best magazine on the market in my opinion. No over the top stuff, just real life.


title: Great gift for kids!

text: Our grandson is 9 and enjoying the magazine very much ❤

title: PRINT TOO SMALL!!

text: This is probably my favorite magazine but, they need to enlarge the print.  Too small which, makes it difficult to read!

title: WYSIWYG

text:
It's WIRED. It's awesome. It's amazingly cheap from Amazon.

Just get it already.


title: Used to be great now it is sub-par

text: I used to love Popular Mechanics but since the main publication has gone digital the articles are far less interesting or informative.  They tend to be  behind pintrest on most of their ideas.  I am very dissappointed this once great magazine has gone so far downhill.

title: Best Kids Magazine.

text: Granddaughters love National Geo for Kids. Great magazine about animals and other nature things. Easy to read articles and activities to do.


title: National Geographic Magazine Is Worth Buying

text: National Geographic have the most interesting articles and there is something for everyone. I enjoy reading those articles about animals and the pictures and pull outs are excellent.


title: Good subscription service

text: Pop Sci is a great magazine especially for parents with kids in middle school.  It is a great way to enhance their interest in science.  Amazon's magazine subscription service is also very convenient.  I believe, I will subscribe to magazines via. Amazon in the future.


title: Five Stars

text: Good mag for kids.


title: Five Stars

text: Always a classic.


title: Okay magazine, of highly priced products throughout, with philosophical Oprah articles.

text: I used to love this magazine so I thought I would try it again...for some reason Oprah thinks we all hit it big and obviously thinks we can all shop at Macy's or Neimann Marcus every day of the week.  I wanted a more authentic Oprah and thought I might find it upon returning to the magazine...but nope.  I like so many of her ideas but feel the magazine exhibits what I've felt for a while - she's lost touch with the little people.  It did have wonderful touches of her philosophy and book reviews which i found helpful.


title: ALWAYS ALWAYS FULL OF INFORMATION AND FASCINATING PHOTOS!

text: How does National Geographic stay pertinent after all these years in print?  This magazine can be read over and over again since it is chock full of information and beautiful photography to match.


title: MY HUSBAND ENJOYS THIS MAGAZINE.

text: A great fashion magazine without alot of "inappropriate" pictures, so he can share this with our grandsons.  Well worth the money with some really informative articles.


title: I love to kick back and sloooooowwwly read each inch of this magazine.

text: This magazine is very full of articles...not just advertisement.  It has many resources available to the reader for products shown.  It had craft ideas, letters, etc. - everything I was hoping it would have.  My only complaint is that I apparently had sent in a card and then subscribed on Amazon so today I received TWO copies of the same issue.  I have called the cust svc to ask them to make them concurrent running scripts...no answer yet.


title: JUST WHAT I LOVE IN A DECORATING MAGAZINE!

text: We just remodeled our new place and I referred to the color scheme and decorators suggestions.  The mag has lots of advertisement, but even that is interesting with a variety of shops/sites that cater to this style of design.


title: Nice quilt magazine, lots of variability of easy/intermediate/experienced with regards to patterns.

text: This is a very nice magazine that I think the novice (me) can learn alot from.  I'm looking forward to the Xmas edition.


title: You will get the print magazine PLUS the Emagazine. You get both, even if it’s redundant.Great magazine regardless.

text: Love the magazine. I recieved the paper magazine AND the E mag. The sub was $99 annually. I explained that I did not need both paper and Emag. Amazon nicely cancelled it. I did not realize that the deal was you get both- sub is for the paper mag and the Emag is gratis.


title: Gift for son in law

text: Great subscription price.


title: Did not know I was only getting one copy

text: I liked the magazine but I thought I was getting more that one copy.


title: Great magazine

text: We have been subscribing to Reader's Digest for the past 60 years and can't imagine doing without it.


title: Very interesting magazine

text: I have been subscribing to Taste of Home since the beginning, and I love it.  It is the first magazine I look at when it arrives.


title: Not recommended.. Cancelled.

text: Small print.  Now, political, biased opinion in a science publication. Prejudice and unsubstantiated statements do not belong in science. What next, will the editors be touting their religious beliefs? Will the editors be giving equal ink to an opposing side? Give me data not slanted animosity.


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Glad I decided to Subcribe to Dr. Oz

text: I read magazines a lot more often using my Kindle than with hard copy so, I am very pleased with the availability of such good health advice at the touch of a finger.  It's easy to use and I love being able to touch on the topic of interest in the table of contents and going directly to it.<br />Also, I like to receive the hard copy to keep in kitchen for recipes.  Working out well for me.


title: TV Guide

text: love getting info ahead of time on new or upcoming shows.


title: Bargain Reader Digest

text: Reader's Digest not quality it used to be. Okay if you can get for bargain price.


title: Family Handyman Magazine

text: This is one of my favorite magazines. I don't always maintain a subscription because it is normally overpriced compared to other magazines. Bought from Amazon because it was a bargain.


title: Four Stars

text: great articles.


title: Five Stars

text: Received first issue today and very pleased with it.


title: Great reading

text: We enjoy Grit very much because of the variety of articles and information.


title: Destroy 72 challenger

text: Why pick a great iconic car to chop up.  Get a wreck. You are destroying your history as an informative and American icon of Muslecle Cars.  I loved every issue and still have them.  After the Chop and swap.  I hate what YOU did.  I quit


title: For the nostalgic reader

text: Been taking this magazine for years.  Very enjoyable if you're nostalgic.


title: Good ideas for home

text: I like this magazine because it provides inspiration for home decorating.


title: Old school magazine awesome

text: As a child of the sixties love this magazine has old style pictures articles it's really great I read it my mom reads it and then we mail it to my aunt in New York we love it


title: Wonderful, informative and fun!

text: I love this magazine.  As a hobby farmer, I find this magazine which is chock full of ideas, information and advice to be my favorite out of all the magazines I have subscribed to.  I am learning so much through this magazine and will be a life-long subscriber!


title: Conflicted

text: I got this magazine for a ridiculously low price so I am just going to say that you can learn about a lot of things in it. I have enjoyed getting my issues, I have gotten two now and both were great, colorful, informative, but if I had paid full price for this thing I would be super mad because it is mostly pictures. I guess some people like that sort of thing and I do too but for $10.00 an issue for 4 issues a year I need you to work a litter harder for my money. Like I said I didn't pay full price which is why I gave it the stars but I also felt like I had to put in the rest.


title: Stop , look and enjoy.

text: As an a artist I  enjoy looking at other artists work and it always has instructions for different genres so you can mix it up. I also find it relaxing.


title: Crap

text: Nothing but ads, waste of money.


title: Great

text: Love the Magazine as always


title: great mag

text: this is awesome if you have chickens or are thinking about getting them  great info you can really learn alot


title: Five Stars

text: I love the magazine but I didn't have time to read it .


title: The Right Editorial Staff

text: It's good to see a magazine about healthy eating with editorial staff having the proper credentials (RD - Registered Dietitian) to talk about the subject and to educate the public.


title: Didn’t renew so that should give you an idea

text: Took forever to arrive. Sometimes we would get 3 issues and then nothing for 4 or 5 weeks. For a weekly magazine not good.


title: Too many ads

text: This was a good cycle magazine at one time.  Now it has way to many ads and little content.  There are better magazines out there.


title: Great magazine

text: I always enjoy receiving this magazine. It always has interesting articles. I learn something new all the time. As an older adult it keeps my brain active. My son who is in his 30's enjoys it too


title: Parents, Be Aware of the Content.

text: Parents, are you ready for your daughters to read about "hookups" and instructions for how to obtain hormonal birth control without parents finding out?  I agreed to let my daughter get this magazine, with the understanding that she will get the "censored" version.  I think it's beyond ridiculous that I have to read every issue before I can let her have it.  There are fun things for teens in this magazine, but I think the sexual content is disgusting, in a childrens' magazine.  I am not a prude by any means, but I'm trying to raise a child.  I don't appreciate a magazine that encourages teens to become sexually active, and make decisions about hormonal medications that could have potentially dangerous side effects.  Last night, I was reading the latest issue when my husband happened to peak over my shoulder.  He responded,"WHAT??!"  He was horrified.  The article was about vaginas, and it mentioned how you shouldn't worry if your vagina looks different from all the other vaginas you've seen...  Umm..  How would a teen girl know what others' vaginas look like?  Moms, did you and your friends compare vaginas, as a kid??  I felt as though they were trying to normalize girls being exposed to pornographic images.  They could have discussed vaginal health without doing that.  And some issues are tamer than others.  At times I've been tempted to let my guard down, and then WHAM, another doozy of an issue arrives.


title: The Men's Health Subscription Magazine was a gift and the person loved it

text: Amazon has the best prices for subscription magazines and a great selection.


title: How could you go wrong with The family Handman. ...

text: How could you go wrong with The family Handman. The whole family loves to review when it comes in. We are spending time together while building some of the projects.

text: Mainly ads , little content...


title: So chic

text: Fabulous magazine. gives you great decor ideas


title: Five Stars

text: Have been renewing this subscription for several years for my daughter-in-law's birthday.  Still a winner.


title: The Best Homeschool Magazine

text: After homeschooling for 9 years, I've read most of the homeschool magazines that are printed. I love this magazine! It is chock full of articles, ideas, crafts, recipes, even the ads are interesting! If you can afford only one magazine this  is the one!


title: Get to see what other people are building

text: As far as the car magazines have gone, this is about as good as there is.


title: Great Mag for Beginning Knitters

text: I love this magazine. This is a good one for beginning to intermediate knitters, but the patterns aren't overly confusing or complex like you'd find in vogue. I got a subscription on sale for $15 and I don't think you can beat that.


title: Are we that old?.....I guess we are.

text: Love the magazine, we are over 60 now, so we like to see things when we were young  keep up the fantastic seditions


title: Excellent price for magazines on Amazon

text: You cannot beat the introductory price for magazines on Amazon...PERIOD! I love this magazine and will continue my subscription. If you love home decor and need inspiration, get this one, you will not be disappointed.


title: That I could read it

text: I love the lodge print Readers Digest


title: Ordered at Christmas and scheduled to arrive 3 months later

text: I'm sure my nieces will enjoy this but I ordered it at Christmas and it is scheduled to arrive  mid March

what is left is information you can readily find on the net daily.

text: This was a gift for my 6 year old grandson.  He loves animals, nature and puzzles & games.  This magazine has all of this.  He loves it.  He can actually read most of the stories himself. I was raised with National Geographic and have passed it on to my children & grandchildren

title: Not the greatest.

text: Not what I was expecting.  Would like to cancel my subscription when my time is up.  I like pictures more.  Love Reader's Digest that I ordered.  Would like to keep that subscription going.


title: It's more than a magazine....

text: Passing knowledge on from one generation to the next is crucial, and in subject matter like homesteading, essential!  I have learned a lot from reading these magazines.  There is a wide variety of homesteading topics, recipes and other articles that are a pleasure to read.  I keep all my old copies, as I use them regularly as reference.

title: We do not need more pictures of another Kardashian

text: If you are over the age of 50 (heck - even 40 and possibly 30) then this is not the magazine for you.  Show me real female athletes of all ages and include more serious articles on women's issues.  The final straw was seeing a Kardashian on the cover. No thanks.  I felt like this was Cosmopolitan magazine and Entertainment Tonight wrapped in spandex.  Going back to Runner's World and Prevention.

text: great price and atarted quickly


title: Worship Leaders and Media Tech Leads need to Subscribe to this Magazine, and the CD's

text:
Worship Leader Magazine is an excellent resource for worship leaders and media operators in the church.  I've been in both roles, and this resource has helped me to keep the congregational music and worship fresh and new.  It gives you a launching pad to hear what is coming out with leading artists, then sending you on a journey of discovery of even more than they mention.  As lead media tech, the music I play for preservice sets the atmosphere and speaks to people when their minds are preparing for the Word.
I will say that you need to also subscribe to the Song Discovery CD that they put out 4x/year.  If you don't, the songs within it are still mentioned in the magazine, but you have to look them up and purchase what you like - which is fine, but not as convenient as just popping that CD they provide into your player and listening over and over on your commute to see what speaks to you.  I have discovered so many good artists' work through the Song Discovery CD's, which I then play in the sanctuary, worship leaders respond to, and end up leading for the congregation.  They are worth the extra money.
Finally, sound and media techs benefit from the reviews of new technology and artistic approaches to set design.  WL reviews what's being used in churches yearly and addresses issues and needs throughout the year in engaging articles.  This magazine should be available to all of those who support worship, technology and atmosphere development within the church.


title: yay cheap magazines!

text: Hooray! I live for January, when magazine prices are so low. Who doesn't love to read about new inventions, and for under $10 a year? Plus, I have plenty to talk about with my 21 year old brother, who is an engineer.


title: Love this little magazine.

text: Fabulous for when you're waiting for the doctor or football practice to end. Got hooked on it when my kids were small and I only had time for "short" reading like during a soak in the tub. It'll make you think, cry, laugh, and learn.


title: Just keep them dry!

text: These work great if you have slick ceramic or hardwood floors in your home. They will come off if they get wet.

text: Magazine arrived on time . Good price.


title: Great

text: I love this magazine. I originally bought it for my mom as a mothers day present since she enjoys cooking around the house, and at the time still had 3 of my younger siblings in the house. She absolutely loved it and was able to get plenty of ideas from the magazine. I ended up looking at a few copies myself when I was over and I was impressed. I am not the biggest fan of the food network channel, I worked in fine dining as a line cook for too long to be impressed with celebrity chefs and reality tv. However the magazine is definitely where it is at. I actually just got myself a subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the magazine


title: good deal

text: love it great price


title: Love reading this

text: Love getting the magazine. If you enjoy tennis, you will love it. Wish it was monthly.


title: too many ads

text: I had subscribed to Real Simple when it first came out and enjoyed the magazine. I recently subscribed again and had to find that this magazine contains  a LOT of advertisement. The content nowadays is on the light side.  The fashion shown in articles may look simple but they are pricey. Overall, I can no longer recommend Real Simple.


title: I still like the paper edition

text: I still like the paper edition, and the price for two years was very reasonable. I finally had a choice to not have auto-renewal, which was the reason I bought it.  Most magazines automatically renew and bill without a choice.


title: A fun connection

text: I love Yankee magazine. I'm an east coast girl living in Arizona. Yankee helps me keep a connection to a place I love so much.  The subscription through Amazon was super easy and one I will continue.


title: My Go-To Magazine

text: I absolutely love all you magazine.  Not only is it filled with practical information that I find valuable as a wife and mother, but it is always loaded with great coupons and really does pay for itself.  I love how all you magazine also shares great tips from bloggers and its own readers.  It is like a magazine written by friends for friends.


My husband and son are enjoying.  I look forward to reading.  Great price point offer made more enticing.


title: TV Guide is one of the best magazines.

text: This is how I plan my TV watching. I also love the Cheers and Jeers every month too! I like the background it provides on upcoming new shows and season favorites.


title: Best gift ever.

text: I ordered for my grandaughter's birthday. She turned 4. She loves. Best gift ever!


title: Nice magazine

text: Enjoy the articles


title: Four Stars

text: Nice magazine, excellent photos, fun articles. Glad i subscribed.


title: Two Stars

text: Too many advertisements


title: Wired Rips

text: Since receiving Wired the past three years, it has been one of the most relished magazine that I wait upon to see - what's new, any tamely or wild electronics, and a decent broad tech. read for flipping or re-reading for an academic paper. I consider Wired, a start for introducing readers to the vast world of technology in "layman/woman terms." Overly, a clever and decent read to carry during a commute. Enjoy!

text: My husband loves it.

title: The BEST information for dog owners

text: In my 3rd year of subscribing to this magazine.  It is the BEST out there.  Don't buy any dog food or treats without reading the information in this publication.


title: Great magazine

text: I have subscribed for years and always enjoy getting it in the mail. A lot of the products and projects featured are on the high end price-wise, but it's fun to dream.


title: Four Stars

text: Lots of good info on health, diet, and living a healthy life.


title: Great magazine

text: Great magazine


title: Not very responsive/Missed issues...

text:
I went ahead and renewed but I have had several instances with them either stopping the subscription early or just plain missed issues.

They do not seem to be very responsive to Customer inquiries but I still love the short articles, stories, and humor.

I also gift this to several folks as part of a Christmas tradition so tracking down missing or canceled subscriptions for them can be a real pain.


title: Leans left but has good stories...

text: You may get frustrated with some of the editorials and opinions if you are conservative but the articles about Texas will keep you coming back.


title: A few interesting men's articles, health, living, etc.

text: I subscribed to Men's Journal because Amazon offered it at a super-low price for the year.  I like most of the articles, but it is all content that is widely available elsewhere with much better writing.  Some of the recent topics include vacation spots, wine recommendations, celeb stories, outdoor adventure stories, etc.  It is worth a look, especially at the discounted Amazon rate.


title: the RIGHT kind of LIBERAL

text:
With regret, the word "liberal" is a dirty one these days. And in an era where the criminal often gets more rights than the victim, and the unborn get no rights at all, it's easy to see how the good-intentioned get demonized.
This magazine highlights what I believe are the good, RIGHT-minded LIBERALS. The kind that hate government corruption and seek to expose it. The kind that care about clean air, and the kind who hate what corporations are doing to wreck the environment. The kind who love peace and hate war. These are the people I happily and readily identify with.
Get this magazine; you'll be in good company. According to the amazon.com site, people who subscribe to Mother Jones are also getting Atlantic Monthly and Harpers. This trio of magazines really is the cream of the crop (or at least a portion of it).
It's nice to see great investigative journalist at its purist, just a non-profit magazine fighting the good fight without coming off as conspiracy-theorist quacks or foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics. One star deducted because it comes out just six times a year--that's a long time to wait for a magazine, especially a quality one.


title: A Classic

text:
There's a reason that National Geographic has been around for this many decades: It's a classic.
As feature articles go, they are a bit on the long side, but the writing is usually so compelling you'll hardly notice. Travel to exotic places, meet fascinating new cultures, and go to some of the most remote, beautiful regions in the world.
As photography goes, I doubt there are better photojournalists out there than the ones who work for National Geographic.
As the magazine's design goes, it is superb as well. Using the top-notch photos and well-written articles, they are able to put together some really compelling (even breathtaking on occasion) designs. And you've got to love the magazine's sense of nostalgia and tradition: They've used that same yellow border for ages.
All in all, it's a great pick-up.


title: cool science

text:
I love reading this magazine because it highlights a lot of the science we all can enjoy. I'm no blockhead, but I'm no Ivy League professor either, so I want to read about things that I can (a) understand, and (b) appreciate. Discover is able to accomplish both.
The front-of-book section is excellent for getting a "Reader's Digest"-type version of research people are doing, or nifty gadgets people are building. In that way, I think it can be better than "Scientific American" or other counterparts because it has a broader appeal. Features are often on things I want to know more about -- electricity, weather, DNA research, outer space, robots, etc. Yes, it's a good dose of "pop science" as another reviewer put it, but that's exactly what a lot of people like, and if that description fits you, you're in for some good reading.
It's better than watching most tv programs, any way, and a lot cheaper as well.


title: what's not to like?!?

text:
Here's a quick breakdown:
1. Harpers will feed your need for the trivial. The Index is a fascinating collection of facts and figures, and the front-of-book section is probably one of the most quirky, laugh-out-loud funny and stimulating in the business.
2. Great fiction. Some up-and-comers submit, along with some old pros (a recent story by Joyce Carol Oates was outstanding)
3. Great features. Some great topics, albeit a lot of environmental stuff, it's still well-rounded and well-informed. Great ones I've read recently include a look at maids, SUVs, education reform and more.
I can see why people might not like this magazine because it appears to be "uppity." In fact, the only thing that annoys me about this magazine is the letters to the editor, where all of the Ivy-league intellectuals write in and try to prove how smart they are. But I think the appeal is more widespread than that. And you'll be paying less than a dollar an issue -- you'll definitely get your money's worth.


title: Definately a "Keeper" for me

text:
I used to subscribe to well over 16 Magazine Publications I trimmed back to only subscribing to 3 in the last 3 years well this one I added recently.
Wonderful pictures, articles that are interesting and informative. You can tell when a magazine is good when you pick it up repeatedly to read. I save all of these magazines to share with friends and associates. I don't find it to be on the "high end" I think they have enough information in each issue for everyone. I also agree with what one of my fellow reviewers stated this magazine hasn't been bogged down with advertisements yet, so therefore you are definately getting enough articles, reports, money saving tips and reader comments to fill up these pages.
It is well worth the money and I have renewed twice now.... and that coming from someone who is VERY selective of what Magazine publications come to my door is a HUGE Compliment.
Respectfully Reviewed


title: Incredible Wine Pairings

text: Okay my one and only complaint about this one is the ads in each issue it becomes so much that I get tired of having to search out the articles. The menus are delicious, the pictures are beautiful and the wine recommendations are broad in range from the inexpensive to the pricey. They seem to try and cover it all in their issues.<br />...


title: A MUST for someone that is interested in Interior Decorating

text:
I was on this kick for about 4 years now on Fabrics and Colors for a Bed and Breakfast (I want to open one) and I subscribed to "Victoria" and "Country Living" for that Country feel.... well I subscribed to "House and Garden" for every thing else. I LOVE this Magazine. The pictures are gourgeous, the ideas are innovative and you can tell that the editors and writers take their job seriously because this Magazine is done with such Pizazz.
It's not as costly at "Architectural Digest" but I rate it right up there with it. Minus the celebrity portions in each edition. In the mass of the many subscriptions I was getting (a whopping 16!!!) I still get this one and Glad of it.
Happy Reading


title: Wonderful Gift Idea for someone who loves Cooking!!!!!!!!!

text:
This Magazine is my #1 Favorite out of all 16 subscriptions that I had received within the past 4 years.
As the other reviews mentioned it goes into such detail that I often times carry it along as reading material for myself when I'm going out of town. I have bought this as gifts for at least 4 friends of mine in the last 2 years alone. I really enjoy the time the writers take in the Test Kitchen's explaining the "why" and the "how" the recipes work or doesn't for that matter. I find that this is one of those Magazine that is worth every penny no matter how much the cost. They review cookbooks and in their very own in depth fashion, go into detail in describing how they test the recipes in these cookbooks. And for someone like myself that buy at least 5 cookbooks per month this cuts down on the cost of buying books full of recipes that really aren't tested. I find it interesting when they "test" various products and appliances... I can't even begin to express what a value this subscription is all I can say is that every person I purchase this for has renewed their subscription on their own.
So what does that tell you huh?
BTW You can always purchase the Cookbook index that they put out at the end of every year it has every issue that came out.
Happy Reading


title: You can never go wrong with this one

text:
Having the honor of being one of those people that subscribe to numerous magazines, I find that I am the perfect person to review the subscriptions because I was getting such a large amount to my door.
I have kept Better Homes and Garden because it is consistent with it's articles, gardening hints and recipes (both pratical and precise). This one is well worth the money, and I know it isn't as expenisive as some of the others that I subscribe to.
I also would recommend "Country Living" and "House & Garden" in addition to this one.
Happy Reading


title: Out of my 16 Subscriptions this is 1 of my FAVORITES!!!!!!

text:
Okay so I'm a little excited about this one. ((smile)) I recently had to go through all of my magazine subscriptions and only keep what I truly wanted. The amount of magazines I was getting every month was becoming a fire hazard, but Hey, I'm a Director of Catering and Sales for a Convention Center and I always need new ideas for menus.
This Magazine has EVERYTHING... Places to go, Interesting Articles, Seasonal Gardening Information, How-to for Home repairs/renovations, Mouth watering Recipes.... I mean I could go on for days this Magazine has it ALL!!...
Happy Reading


title: I Let this subscription go

text:
By now most people have read my many reviews of the 16 Magazine subscriptions that I get. I LOVED this magazine for all of it's ideas and recipes.
It's typical Martha Stewart fashion but at the price of how much it cost me to get it directly from her web-site I let it drop. Amazon[.com] offers a much better price but right now there are so many Magazines out there like this one that you almost can just subscribe to her web-site and get the same info without the cost.
The articles were okay.... there was so much advertisment in the issues I got that I felt like I wasn't getting the true body of what I wanted. Pictures are Great but if you are subscribing for the recipes come to Amazon[.com] and buy her books, trust me it is less clutter than all of those magazines which are quite thick.
Respectfully Reviewed


title: Not your typical Cooking Magazine

text:
I have over 16 Magazine subscriptions, 10 of them being Cooking Magazines. Saveur provides you with a different sort of cooking magazine, definately with a heavy intent on the background of food, their articles are more in depth about the locations and even the layout of the magazine is different.
If you enjoy this magazine there is a web-site that you absolutely must check out it's called "ethnic grocer" you can find all of the rare ingredients that you find in some of the recipes that are featured in Saveur. I always feel like I've actually walked in the shoes of the writer and the articles are so vivid that you can almost taste the exotic-ness <---- is that word?) LOL of the flavors. If you can get the subscription at a good price, GO FOR IT!
A warning though be prepared to want to immediately run out get a passport and travel to the locations that are featured.
Happy Reading


title: Buy the subscription from Amazon!!!!

text:
...I found that Gourmet dealt more on the international recipes than I really cared for. The articles and recipes were good for the reading but when you subscribe to over 16 magazines a month 10 of them being food, you tend to become quite picky on what is worth it and really a necessity in having.
I subscribed to "Bon Appetit" as well and these two go hand in hand. As I mentioned in another review I did you can easily get all of these recipes on their website at Epicurous and save yourself some money, but If you like to be swept away to Dazzling places and enjoy the full page pictures of your entrees then get the magazine........ but get it from Amazon, you can't beat their price.
Happy Reading


title: Excellent Subscription!!!!!!!!!

text:
Well worth the money. I have over 16 Magazine Subscriptions and had to look at the ones I wanted to keep and toss the ones I could shed. "Shape" was a MUST have for me. The articles were inspiring, provided alternative work-outs, up to date Work-out fashions, reviewed recreational outlets for fitness.
Definately worth every penny. Do yourself a favor if you are planning on getting on some kind of work out kick or just looking for inspiration "TO" start on one. Subscribe to this magazine, you will not be sorry.
Happy Reading


title: Beautiful Pictures, Precise Recipes a must for Food Experts

text:
Well I have over 16 Magazine Subscriptions and this was one of the ones that I let drop. Not because it wasn't worth it but because it is almost the carbon copy of Gourmet (which I also have a subscription for)...
I would recommend this if you like "high-end" menu ideas, or trying to impress that special someone. I also would recommend it as a gift idea for anyone that loves Cooking or is in the Food Industry as a Director of Catering and Sales for a Convention Center my mind (after 10 years) does become stuck on new and innovative menu ideas.... when this happens I can always trust "Bon Appetit" to have some wonderfully looking ideas for me to try. If you decide that you can't afford it (or like in my case) just don't want all of the magazines around, go to their web-site every recipe is listed on Epicurious.
Happy Cooking


title: Best there is in genre(could be better :-)

text:
Outburn is essential reading for those interested in what is left of the "real" alternative music genres, from Industrial to Goth to Electronika. The bands' profiled are almost all below the radar, which makes for interesting reading. The reviews are somewhat slanted, anything shiny or refined is usually slammed.
I think more coverage of electronic pop (aka Modern Synthpop) would be nice, but then again I am biased that way.
Forget AP, Spin, RS or CMJ, this is where to find out about the real underground/alternative rock scene!


title: next to no content, but plenty of ads...

text:
When I was in high school Details was a pretty cool magazine, lots of cutting edge stuff was featured and for some one who was a dork gave some interesting style tips.
I recently resubscribed and gotta tell ya that I wasted [money amount]. The articles are almost never more than 500 words long, and usually "think" pieces that seem tossed off while the author was in a cab on the way to the editorial meeting.
A lot of pretty ads though...


title: 17 YEAR OLD TWISTER

text: TWIST IS ONE OF THE BEST MAGAZINES OUT THERE I LOVE IT HAS GREAT ARTICLES GOOD QUIZZES IT'S A GREAT MAGAZINE IT HAS ARTICLES ON BODY AND HEALTH IT'S REALLY HELPFUL I RECOMMEND THIS MAGAZINE.


title: The Magazine has stepped up to the challenges

text:
Since Sept. 11, the news world has gotten more challenging-more competitive as well. Among the leaders is certainly Newsweek, who has worked extremely hard and done very well in its investigations.
By dumb luck, they ran an exclusive on John Walker Lindh. You know, that guy who fought for the Taliban? They got that story first-big congrats to them. They also discovered a movie-company scandal in finding a fake movie reviewer last year. As well, their carrying of political cartoons is good-they have picked the cream of the crop each week, and I continue to laugh hard.
Writers such as Evan Thomas and Eleanor Clift write professionally, carefully, and vividly about the world around us. Thomas has written many articles related to Sept. 11, and has managed somehow to present each story in a different light. All in all, this is a very satisfying magazine.


title: Great Content, Horrible Customer Service

text:
I have been an Entertainment Weekly subscriber for 4 or 5 years.  About two weeks ago, the new issue didn't arrive. I gave it a few days. Sometimes it arrives late. Always look forward to it.

Usually I contact them and ask them to resend it. About 9 times out of 10, they'll resend a duplicate copy of an issue I already received.  I tell them in my request what issue date, what's on the cover, yet they almost always send the wrong one. If that's not bad enough, this time I contacted them and was informed that my subscription ended TWO MONTHS AGO. Without any notice for those two months, I continued receiving issues and then they just stopped. In the past, they would send a letter and have a special notice attached to the magazine saying to renew.  So I contact EW to tell them they made a mistake and never notified me. They tell me to renew. By having to renew I now will not receive another magazine for another TWO MONTHS. I told them that they made a mistake and should rectify it immediately. They told me all they can do is have me renew. They're not apologetic. They're not helpful.  It's a shame the writers and editors of the magazine are at the mercy of their customer service team.


title: HGTV Magazine - addict

text: LOVE HGTV and this magazine!  Once I am done reading my Mother reads and gets great ideas too...worth the subscription and full of fun and do-able ideas.


title: ****** Must read for newbies*****

text:
In my early days of investing before the internet really took off I really enjoyed reading investment magazine like money, however now with the internet some of it feels like old new by the time I read it . I find only one or two interesting articles, the rest feel like the same old thing I read in other places.

However, if you are a newbie to the world of finance this is a must read !


title: Disappointed

text:
As a long time subscriber I am very disappointed in "The Family Handyman".  I received one of those "Thank you for your order please send $30 books in the mail", of course I did not order the book and they count on people being busy and or not informed and just payment.  I will not be renewing my subscription and will file a complaint.  This type of practice is sad and preys heavily on the elderly.  Despicable.

title: Two Stars

text: Pretty good magazine but they canceled my subscription 4 months before it was supposed to end.


title: Favorite Magazine at a great price!

text: This is one of my favorite magazines ever.  I recently let my subscription lapse and when I saw it  on sale on Amazon for only five dollars for 6 months, who could pass that deal up?  I ordered it and  arrived much sooner then expected.  The magazine, as its name implies, is full of entertainment news.  Its divided up in to different sections...books,TV, Movies, Music, etc.  It has in depth articles and interviews.  I also love the short blurbs.  Im really happy to be a subscriber again!


title: Don't waste your money

text: Do not waste your money and order magazines on Amazon.  They outsource your subscriptions to a company called Synapse that is a complete nightmare to deal with.  I received 2 copies of my sub and after calling to check why was told that I canceled it and a credit was issued.  My bank showed no credit and calling back to Synapse was met with a combative no-customer service rep.  I didn't take the warning of other users with Amazon mag subs and paid the price.  You were warned!


title: Not worth paying for.

text: I initially thought the "magazine" was junk mail as  it was so thin and flimsy . Comparing it to the 'free' newsletter I had just received from the Animal Humane Society which was  much better quality paper, photos and articles , I'm quite disappointed with this so called publication subscription. Not at all what I expected.  It was going to be a christmas gift for the grandkids but it's too chintzy and basically boring to present as a christmas gift.  I'll just save it for them to look at it when they come over.


title: Great magazine

text: Great magazine and can't beat this price


title: Don't bother

text:
The writing is good, but even with a subscription the website blocks me from reading the articles.  I emailed customer service who basically told me too bad.

Unfortunately, I'll be getting my news elsewhere from now on.  Not too smart for a news organization to alienate their paying customers.


title: Very thin magazine - 1/4" thick...

text: 25 of the 92 full pages are advertisements, plus numerous 1/2 page ads.  There is detailed info on some projects, that I like, but there is so much more info on the internet.  I won't reorder.


title: Lots of recipes

text: I haven't gotten a magazine subscription for years, so this is probably just the way it is now.  I was expecting a much thicker magazine.  This is very thin, about 1/4" thick.  It has lots of ads and several recipes that that is about it.  I can find much more of what I want online.


title: great photos, love

text: educational material, great photos, love it


title: A cover to cover read.

text: I loved the magazine. Interesting articles and short enough to stay interesting throughout (sobi would still read articles that were of lesser personal interest). It was great at bringing something to light that I hadn't heard of before and gave enough info that I could look into the subject further if I wished.  Definitely a cover to cover read for me. Loved it.


title: A Must For The Scientific Mind

text: Popular Science focuses on a broad range of scientific topics. Without being overly technical, it discusses topics from new and upcoming products to theoretical ideas: topics like new suspension systems in next years line of sport utility vehicles, to the latest intelligence networks, to NASA's latest flying machine. It is very reader friendly and will appeal to anyone intrigued by the sciences, regardless of education. It makes a great, low cost gift, or great coffee table material that will be impossible to put down. You can also subscribe directly from their web site at popsci.com.


title: Fine collection of Fishing and Hunting Stories

text: This roughly bimonthly magazine contains a wide range of generally well written fishing and hunting stories, plus some photo-journals of hunting and fishing trips to exotic locales.  There are occassional articles about making guns, gunsmithing, etc.  I'd pretty much agree with G. Powell's short review, the quality of the writing here is better than `Field and Stream' or similar publications, definitely worth the money.  Probably about the same as `Sporting Classics', but without so many ads.  I got started reading this magazine after devouring Robert Ruark, Peter Capstick, and Gordon MacQuarrie.  This magazine (and perhaps `Sporting Classics') is about the only thing that is comparable to that style of writing these days.  One thing I really like about GSJ is that there is a wide range of hunting and fishing stories from simple tales about deer camp or bass fishing in the local lake (which virtually everyone can associate with to some degree), to exotic and dangerous safaris in Africa, waterfowl hunts in Argentina, and fly fishing in Mongolia.  There are stories that I can relate to, and stories that make me dream about (probably unattainable - at least by me) hunting and fishing adventures.  An evening with this magazine will get me primed for the upcoming season no matter if it is turkeys, trout, or ducks.


title: Diverse science articles written for scientists and the scientifically literate

text: This bimonthly magazine contains science articles written by scientists for the scientifically literate reader (primarily other scientists).  W Boudville's review is, in my view, incorrect on most points.  His/her claim that the American Scientist is simply the American equivalent of Nature is totally wrong.  Nature is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that contains (tersely written) professional articles at the cutting edge of modern research.  The American Scientist contains articles that are written by scientists but for a much wider audience, it is certainly not meant to publish latest/greatest scientific results.  It is not a peer reviewed journal, and the articles are not research papers and are meant to be accessible to a wider audience. Virtually all areas of the natural and physical sciences are covered in this publication including physics, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, geology, paleontology, psychology, neuro-chemistry and many others.  There are also occassionally contributions in the fields of enginerring and architecture as well.  This may sound like a real hodge-podge, but the articles are generally well written and informative.  There are typically 10 or so articles in each issue as well as 10-15 book reviews.  I've been a subscriber for 10+ years.  Some of the articles that have been most memorable include one on the complex chemistry of the iron in African rocks and how difficult it was for ancient Africans to smelt iron, a recent article on the complex geology of the Moon and what it tells us about it's formation and early evolution, and some surprising results about the Riemann Zeta function.  The level (and amount of technical detail) of the articles is well above Scientific American or Sky and Telescope for example, and it is typically assumed that the reader has at least a batchelor's degree in science or engineering.  If you are broadly interested in science and want to read a wide range of interesting, technical detailed articles, this is the magazine for you.


title: A great golf publication

text:
I'm not a magazine person.  I read very little in the way of magazines and don't subscribe to a single one, but I love reading Golf Digest.  I have found many of the instructional articles, especially by the professionals (such as Tiger Woods) who write for the publication, to be very helpful and have tried to implement the techniques they've taught into my game.  I have gotten many ideas for practice drills in the magazine as well, which has also helped me.

Golf Digest is about more than just the technicals of the game, however.  It is about the lifestyle of golf.  I love reading the articles on course design (Jack Nicklaus's are great) and enjoy the previews of the majors.  I found the equipment reviews (the "Hot List") very helpful when shopping for a new putter and when trying various golf balls, and I love the articles profiling and ranking different golf courses around the country and around the world.

Golf Digest is one of the few magazines I can avidly read and actually enjoy--all without feeling that I'm wasting my time.  The magazine is also quite bulky considering the reasonable price.

title: I love The Adverts

text:
You won't be disappointed if the best part of the magazine is the adverts as it's top heavy with them.  No less than five of those scent cards in the latest issue.  The men's fashion photos are enticing but who can afford it?  A topcoat at 3k?  The total for the whole look is over $7k  Watches, watches watches, and all 4 figures.
Not a men's magazine anymore, all the cheesecake has disappeared.  Just staid photos acceptable anywhere.  The writing is just a bunch of school boy opinions stuck between adverts.  Except for the Sexiest Woman Alive piece where the earth shattering thought was the subject's view on chickens
Even at $5/year, it's not worth it.


title: How do you tell a good magazine?

text:
They disappear! I have a waiting room which I try to keep stocked with elegant magazines.  Invariably Bazaar is the most thumbed through and mostly likely to go home with a client.

I admit I look at the fashion, and admire the photos.  Sometimes I even read the articles, but most are too girlie for me.


title: Very informative.

title: May have started out as a Tech Magazine, now more of a general gossip magazine.

text: I had heard about Wired for quite some time but never bothered reading it.  Then I saw a 1-year sub here for $10.  Boy have I regretted spending that $10 on this rag.  Not much in it is Techy anymore.  Most of it seems to be just gossipy trash promoting wacko psuedo science and thinly veiled political viewpoints.  I just throw them away now without bothering to even crack them open. Also almost every other page is a full page ad and what pages aren't full page ads have quarter to half sized page ads. No wonder this thing is $10 for a year, it's not even worth that.

text: My kids love it. Thank you


title: repetitive, but interesting

text: There was a special for a $5 one-year subscription, so I signed up. But I honestly don't think that the magazine is all that informative. You get it once a month, but I really only read it every 3-4 months because it got so repetitive to read every single month. Now that my subscription is over, I'm not planning on renewing just because I think I've had my fill for a while. There was interesting finds and interesting ideas in there, I just don't think style changes every month (and the content shows it).


title: Too many bait and switch ads

text:
This magazine content is more than half ads and most of them are bait and switchers.  Watch out for BroadwayPhoto in NY - they promise prices and don't deliver.  They love advertising in this magazine.  Other magazines (like Videomaker) have kicked them out by now.
The one star is for the few articles that are helpful.  There should be more.
I also had to ask for my subscription after I ordered.  They would have taken my money and forgotten about me (but I guess that could have happened anywhere).
My recommendation instead: Videomaker

Popular Mechanics remains as unique and creative a magazine as it was 3 decades ago when I was reading it as a kid. The new tech info and gear is awesome.  I love the projects but have little time to complete them. I think the magazine provides wonderful entertainment value and I appreciate the hard work of the writers and editors.

Wired is an amazing magazine for those who want to learn more about cutting edge tech gear.
I find the information accurate and timely.  The products that I have purchased after reading the magazine have worked very well.

Ok- I love People magazine.  I love the inside stories and pictures of the stars.  I love when they are caught out and about not prim and proper.  I look forward to reading it each month,

title: unfortunate

text:
I was disappointed when our kid's first "National GeographicKids" magazine finally arrived. This magazine is nothing like the original National Geographic.Honestly, it's one big advertisement with infrequently placed articles and trite kids activities. This could be so much more...

Kenneth Haft


title: an amazing magazine

text:
National Geographic continues to amaze me each and every month.  The pictures and in depth articles are second to none.  Simply, there is no equivalent to this monthly dose of adventure, environment and exploration.

title: Always enjoy it

text: When my Reader's Digest arrives, it goes where I go. I can take it out of my purse whenever I have to wait for something or someone. If I know the wait time is short, I can just flip to the jokes and quotes. After I've read it, I leave it in the bathroom for visitors. It gets thoroughly recycled.

text: Love the card making magazines and this one is a real help.


title: One editor, one writer, one theme

text: I've recieved TWDJ for four years now as a gift from a client.  In all of that time I can count on one hand the number of copies in which there wasn't at least one, if not more, articles about what one should/shouldn't be feeding one's dog.  There is also an over abundance of repetitive subjects, which basically end up with the advice to seek professional help or a dog behavioralist, falling short of useful knowledge.  Most of the articles lack any real new information...at least nothing that can't be found with a quick search on-line...and are written in the majority by the training editor who fills her articles with incomplete information, naming at times obscure sources, as well as stating her opinion as fact when indeed some methods, whether it be training or simply how to live with your dog, are choices.  The main editor writes supposedly motivational editorals about how to better treat your pets yet most of her letters come across as bragging rather than encouraging.  The TWDJ is directed towards those who have unlimited time and income to spend with or on their dog (as well as saving others), not the average pet owner who is looking for good relible, hands on information. After the December 2011 issue came out in which an article was writen basically slandering other trainers and misinforming the readers on training methods, I cancelled the subscribtion and notified my client; they, too, had cancelled theirs!  One can find better, more comprehensive, less opinionated information in other periodicals,magazines,or on-line searches. Being in the "dog world" for over 30 years as a breeder, handler, trainer and business owner, as well as a life long dog owner (lover) I felt qualified to write this review.


title: Reading it was wonderful

text: Delightful read


title: Useless

text: Mostly ads and a few wood working articles.


title: Two Stars

text: Too much advertising.


title: Five Stars

text: Great gift, incredible photos and information. For the foodie in your life it makes a great hit.


title: Five Stars

text: Great!!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine that is arriving on time monthly.


title: Great magazine, expect a slow start

text: It took a few months for her to start receiving her subscription. I have received this magazine for years and love it. Sent it to a friend as a bridal shower gift. Great price, lots of wonderful recipes. I just wish it wouldn't have taken so long for the magazines to start sending.


title: Find out what you are doing wrong.

text: Golf Digest is just what the title says it is.  Its all covered in the first two issues I received.  I've improved my game after reading the help articles in Golf Digest.  I don't need to say anything else.


title: Not impressed

text: Not what I expected- way too many advertisements


title: Good enough

text: Not quite what I expected- , definitely not something that I cannot wait to go through.


title: Only if your a republican

text: This magazine is a total disappointment - I love hunting and fishing, but believe in gun control- this publication is for those who have two guns under their pillow and an arsenal in the basement. Why not stick to reviews and hunting fishing articles not telling me how to vote! I loved this magazine 10 years ago , now I wouldn't wipe with it.


title: Beh

text: I subscribed this for many years and I noticed that the quality of articles downhill, mostly useless and dry. I miss the old days of Reader’s Digest.


title: Good recipes

text: Very informative and useful recipes


title: great magazine

text: always insightful


title: Helps my insomnia.

text: Well, it is still printed, which is great but the writing has become a bit duller than usual.  I keep it beside the bed to help the lunesta work.


title: Girlfriend wanted a good fitness mag..

text: I ordered this for my girlfriend after she stated some confusion about picking a good fitness mag to subscribe to.  She loves it and it does contain a lot of useful valid information for her to use.


title: Good Housekeeping

text: My wife loves to read Good Housekeeping.  Looks forward to getting it every month.


title: sheer beauty

text: If you want to shop for your dream house (whether you can afford it or not), this magazine is SO for you.  With the pictures and descriptions so vivid, it's almost like being there!


title: Really enjoy this magazine

text: Really enjoy this magazine, kids love it as well.  They are excited to get it every month, gets them in the mood to hike.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the magazine


title: Good Magazine for the DIYer

text: It’s a nice little magazine. The issues aren’t very big, page wise, but it’s definitely good to have a physical copy of something for a change.


title: Beautiful pictures of France

text: With so many publishing compete for my time and attention, this magazine still gets my share of interest and enjoyment of reading it.


title: Five Stars

text: interesting


title: Five Stars

text: great price for an excellent magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: love the magazine and my subscription- best of all the price ordering on Amazon


title: Great Mag!!!

text: My fave mag along with BHG!!! Will continue to subscribe to both and love getting the online information and updates too!!!


title: Star is fluff

text: If you have time to waste, like at an airport, then I recommend this rag.  It is cheap entertainment.  I like that this rag downloads to my Kindle Fire, and I do not have to carry the actual magazine.  It is embarrassing to be seen with this magazine, and at least on the Kindle no one knows what I am reading.  Yes, I am addicted to this Hollywood gossip, but I don't advertise it.


title: Highly recommended. Something for everyone.

text: I have been a subscriber for over 20 years. The format has changed some over the years, but it is still a quality periodical. Full of useful, humorous advice.<br />I would recommend to anyone who is living beyond the sidewalks, or dreams of doing so.


title: Is the news magazine era over?

text:
I like a lot of the content NR publishes. It tends to be thought out and supported whether or not I agree with it, and I think it's good to support the continuing publication of such perspectives.  (Although I find their "humor" to be pretty lame.)  In a sense, this is one of the true "alternative" magazines today.

Thing is, with today's short news and conversation cycles by the time I get it, the news items are aging and I've already seen most of their "takes" on line.  So I'm not getting a lot out of receiving a print edition.  The problem is not unique to NR.  I will probably not renew and cut down on the paper recycling.

title: Ok

text: Ok


title: Magazine subscription, not much else to say

text: My only complaint with all magazine subscriptions is that you never know exactly when you'll get the first issue.


title: I love these two.

text: I have watched them on TV a lot.


title: My Favorite Magazine.

text: I'm a history buff, & I LOOOOVE National Geographic anything...magazines & films of any kind.  NG is the best magazine.  If you only want ONE magazine, I highly recommend National Geographic.


title: love this mag but I can't seem to read it ...

text: love this mag but I can't seem to read it first, the mail carries must have a ball with it, I've found crumbs on the inside pages ,what I can only guess is smeared food or god knows what guess I'm going to have to cancel again.


title: still the best entertainment mag out there

text:
I have been reading Entertainment Weekly since issue #1. While I do agree with some reviewers that state that the mag we used to get was better than what they offer now, I still think its the best entertainment magazine out there. I would like to see them return to the irreverent magazine it was when it 1st hit the news stands. But there is still good reason why this magazine is still top of the heap for me. It does not sink to levels of tabloid reporting like many so called 'entertainment' magazines. I used to read TV Guide for their fall previews but have long since given up on reading TV Guide for anything other than what is on tonight. Entertainment Weekly provides me with a detailed analysis of the new shows (or the new music or the new movies) so I can make a more informed decision on what I am going to spend my time on. It has pointed me in the direction of a good TV show or an artist that I have not heard of more times than I can count. Its one of the few magazines I actually read cover to cover--and not just flip through. Entertainment Weekly fills an otherwise entertainment void in decent magazines.

I like the auto renewal...unlike other magazines that hassle and call you a year before your subscription runs out, Entertainment Weekly never bugs you about that stuff at all. Too bad other magazines do not realize that sometimes its better to stop reading their publication than to get woken up too early on a Saturday to be asked 'hows that subscription coming along, are you getting it week?'. With Entertainment Weekly, I found then never reminded me that my subscription was running out so auto renewal is king. Frankly, even that is classy.

Hopefully Entertainment Weekly will keep on producing informative, interesting issues and leave the crap to US Weekly and the Inquirer. I like my entertainment just fine with ET.


title: Science at my fingertips

text: I've been a reader of Discover ever since I found it at my dentist's office. It made the waiting seem more bearable. Not too complex in its stories and there is a wide variety of subjects covered every month.


title: keep up with the fashion trends for the coming season

text: InStyle has always been our "go to" magazine for seasonal fun, fashion and lifestyle. If you enjoy fashion, you can't go wrong with it, and if you need to buy a gift, it's fantastic for ideas. We love it!


title: i love it very much

text: excellent


title: TURKEY'S ARE ALL ADORABLE (ILOVE THEM)

text: excellent


title: Great magazine, no tote bag in sight

text: I LOVE this magazine. Only reason I deducted this star was because I submitted the order a month and a half ago, and have yet to receive the free tote bag.


title: Well trusted periodical

text: Well trusted periodical


title: An intelligent and excellent read!

text: I appreciate the quality and intelligence of content that Esquire offers, and it has always been a source of enjoyable reading.


title: Good gardening magazine

text: I always enjoy looking at Country Gardens and dreaming of pretty gardens.


title: Three Stars

text: Great magazine until I was completely turned off by a biased unscientific opinion article claiming to be scientific.

title: Great recipes Always

text: Nice to receive at a discount


title: Excellent gift for kids!

text: I have purchased this two years running, as a Christmas gift. The kids love the content, and really like getting mail that is just for them.


title: I have enjoyed my subscription

text: I have enjoyed my subscription. The articles and work seem to have declined in recent years, but overall I have enjoyed the magazine.


title: Took two months to get my first issue !

text: Disappointed in the time it took to get my first issue.


title: Great mag

text: Enjoy every issue


title: Good subscription!

text: Ordered this for my son & he seems to enjoy it & appreciates the subscription. Thank you.


title: Decent Magazine

text: They have good articles and are really thought provoking about future tech. I picked this up on a whim and enjoyed it for the duration  of my subscription.


title: really good mens magazine

text: One of the few magazines that I like from month to month. The articles are really interesting and not overfilled with ads like the other usual mens magazines.


title: Sub for a year then you have pretty much everything.

text: I like this magazine, but after a year subscription, it pretty much rehashes the same stuff as last year.


title: Five Stars

text: I love the fashion.


title: Great articles

text: I just happen to be looking at magazines and books and stumbled upon this jewel.  I just received my second issue of City.  This quarterly has articles written by top writers on issues that cities and states are facing today. And not only these but national problems as well.  The Summer Issue has an article on California crude and the Dodd-Frank's Protection Racket; City, Empire, Church, Nation. How the West created modernity; Coal and the EPA.  This slick cover issue has 128 pages on various topics. This definitely is not written for the general reader.  I recommend City for its content, insight and informative articles that aid debates.


title: Even I've never seen those words before

text: I've been doing crosswords for over 50 years. I belong to Mensa. I'm 70. There are words and references in this book that I've never before seen in my life. I complete the puzzles by working around the unsolvable ones to fill in the blanks.  Takes more than the normal 15 minutes to do these

title: Good magazine

text:
I renewed this magazine for my grandson who requested it.  He is an avid hunter and fisherman in Alaska.  As long as he wants it, I will keep sending it to him.

Happy Grandlma


title: Very Nice magazine, great for crocheters of all levels

text: This was ordered as a gift for my Mom and she very much enjoyed the magazine very much.  It's a great magazine. I've purchased it myself off the store shelf. Nice.


title: She loves it

text: Got this magazine for my 12 yr old granddaughter two years ago for her birthday, and have renewed it each year.  She enjoys it as it has the information she's wanting to read on her current pop stars. Sometimes they have posters included.

title: pretty thin these

text: Ok, pretty thin these days


title: Three Stars

text: American Scientist is much better and deeper. This now seems like it is for 9th graders or something.


title: Too much ad and not enough content

text: Based on the reviews, I had an impression that the magazine would be interesting to read. However, it is hard to find interesting content. The magazine is filled with ad. In order to read one 3 pages long article, you will have to skim through 5 additional pages of ads. So far, I received 3 issues and there was only one OK article that I did not see before somewhere else.


title: Awesome.

text: Keep getting better!  The stories and photography are still timely and top quality.  The ipad version provides additional video's and interactive maps which are also great.


title: Five Stars

title: A great Father's Day gift

text: This made a great gift for dad.


title: Good and better

text: Good could be better, what can you say its a magazine.


title: A classic.

text: The classic magazine for those interested in science.  Most of the articles are sufficiently technical to be interesting, but explained well enough to be understood.  Scientific American's illustrations are a great help to understanding things.


title: I enjoy reading this magazine!

text: I do really enjoy this magazine. It is filled with good stories, field instructions/tips, and pictures. My only complaint is that I would like it to cover more salt water fishing.


title: Only for Star Wars fans

text:
The good is this is all about Star Wars, and my son loves Star Wars, the movies, the action figures, the Lego toys, the books.  The bad is this is not cheap as a subscription and the subsription does not come with many issues per year.  We just got our first issue and it came through the USPS of course and in a bag.  As with USPS, there is frequently damage (as my friendly mailman once said, "that's free with your mail, you don't get charged extra for that"), the bag had a little tear in the side and the magazine had slight tear in the side.  With this price, I wish the publisher placed the magazines in some sort of plastic that cannot tear AND actually give us a full 12 issues for a year subscription instead of the Jan/Feb type deal.

UPDATE 9/3/13: I received a letter in the mail regarding a "special price" for renewing my subscription.  It was low ~$40s, so I decided to see on Amazon when my subscription is over and how much lower Amazon's price would be (my original subscription was ~$38).....to my surprised, like everyone else, it's ~$64!!?!  $64 for 8 Magazine issues.  That's unheard of, magazine subscriptions have no reason to cost so much.  I have no idea why Amazon charges so much.  $38 was already high but no way will I accept Amazon's price hike.  As much as I love my son, we had the talk, I explained to him and asked how much he really wants the magazine.  Like a trooper, he lets me know, cancel it if it is too much.  So I went to my account in Amazon to stop the automatic subscription renewal.  I also explained the reason for my cancellation.  I think I must have clicked the wrong button because it turns out Amazon has cancelled my current subscription because an email explained I will receive a credit for the remainder of my subscription.  I think unless the magazine drops to a more acceptable price, our family has seen our last issue of this magazine.  My son is growing up and I feel he will not miss it much after a period of absence.  It's not like it came frequently, about every other month, sometimes we don't even know if it's coming soon or if an issue is mis-delivered.

Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.


title: Great Magazine

text: My wife enjoys this magazine


title: Too many ads

text: This magazine is heavy on advertising and "fluff" and very light on actual recipes. I much prefer Everyday Food Magazine.


title: He'll like it, can't miss.

text: Was a gift for a sports guy. Easy, cheap fun. Not always the same old articles you get elsewhere. He likes it of course.


title: Excellent Magazine for the DIY'er

text: I LOVE my handyman magazine!  I'm no Bob Villa, but I do like trying out DIY projects.  Reading up on different ones and getting cool ideas on everything from organization to gardening is excellent.  I have some big ideas for DIY projects that I have generated from these magazines (not to mention suggestions from it have really helped me with a few DIY things I have done).  All in all, if you find you are a DIY (even a beginner), you will most likely love this magazine too.


title: Three Stars

text: Solid magazine.


title: Like it

title: One of the best sports mag available

text: One of the best sports mag available. The articles are pretty in depth with lots of stats all over the place. Good layout provides some great visuals as they break down plays and strategies. Between all my sports mags, I enjoy this one the most, hands down.


title: All your entertainment reading needs - right here

text: Print media is not yet dead.  It still lives in magazines like this one.  This one gives you all the knowings about what is happening in tv, movies and books.  All things I enjoy very much.  I am very happy getting this in my mailbox every week and previewing all the lovely media usage that is to come in my life.


title: More about SyFy shows/movies please

text: I guess I thought there would be more about what's going to be on the Network itself, but there is very little of that.  Almost none in fact.  Instead it's more of a collection of everything going on in the SciFi universe.  If it stays this way, it is doubtful I'll renew.


title: got one!!

text: Got my first issue,took about a month,no biggie.By buying it this way you save more then half a issue.Plus the fact they are just getting hard to find in my area.Comes discreetly wrapped.


title: Four Stars

text: Excellent quality!


title: Enough, but not too much!!

text: This is an excellent publication for lovers of the outdoors, nature, hiking, etc...We love Arizona and this publication allows us to explore areas we may not have heard of and identify local native flora and fauna.  Just excellent!!  I strongly recommend it whether you are in Arizona or not.  It is very informative and enjoyable on many levels.  Please give it a try.  It is reasonably priced and a great value.  Enjoy!!

title: Makes church history accessible to all of us...

text:
I have stumbled upon this magazine a handful of times over the past several years and appreciated it enough to subscribe for the past two years.  The fantastic part of "Christian History & Biography" is that it takes a rather academic study of the history of the church and, though written by leading intellectuals, translates the stories and information in ways that resonate with common folks like myself.

The breadth of topics and people that are covered is truly comprehensive, to the extent that there is virtually no part of Christian history that is not addressed in one of the issues.  If you have any interest in church history but are overwhelmed by the size of most church history texts, I would really encourage you to investigate this magazine.  It has given me a great taste of several important events that influence my church and my faith, and I look forward to the ongoing process of understanding these essential ideas through "Christian History & Biography."


title: I get giddy with excitement when it arrives every month...

text:
As a self-diagnosed Christianity Today junkie, I cannot speak highly enough about Christianity Today as a thoughtful and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the Christian faith.  CT was the brainchild of Billy Graham fifty years ago, and it maintains his strain of Christian perspective, namely evangelicalism.  Graham was never interested as a preacher in answering every bit of theological and doctrinal minutiae, nor does Christianity Today aim to do so.  Instead, this magazine truly covers the full spectrum of issues that impact the lives of Christians, from news stories of current events and biographies of leaders within the church to analyses of important social and spiritual matters and controversial battles (past and present).  CT offers a genuinely global perspective of Christianity, telling missionary stories from around the world in each issue.  There are stories of successful and thriving churches of every stripe and descriptions of the victories and successes that occur within all sorts of denominations and ecclesiastical organizations.  And they periodically include debates or discussions from opposing sides of important theological ideas, offering folks from both sides a forum to state their case.

One of the things that I appreciate most about Christianity Today is their passion to do journalism the right way as Christians.  They publish articles by writers with whom many of their readers will not necessarily agree, and they chronicle the lives of many folks who may be outside the church or at least affiliated with a fringe movement.  They do all of this while maintaining an unabashedly clear evangelical center, which is most clearly communicated through the editorials in each issue.  I love the heart of this magazine and its leadership.  I love their approach to their charge as evangelical Christian journalists.  I truly read each issue, cover to cover, including all of the advertisements and even the classified ads!  I feel like I remain a well-educated and informed Christian when I immerse myself in this amazing resource.  I find myself copying or forwarding links to at least one or two articles from each issue to friends and family whose lives I know will be touched as mine always is when I invest in reading from the pages of Christianity Today.  I would recommend it to anyone.


title: Great

text: Lovely magazine


title: My Chef wife absolutely loves this magaine!!

text: My wife just raves about her first issue.  I can not believe all the great recipes in one magazine; you don't see that very often.


title: Saving on SI Subscription

text: Just got this in the mail:  If I allow SI to charge my credit card NOW for a subscription that isn't due to renew until 12/24/2007, they will send me 60 issues for $39.00, or .65 per issue.  I have the right to discontinue this automatic billing at any time.  So there is a very slight savings, somewhat offset by the fact that they will use my $$$ for an extra 9 months or so (recognizing that at the typical bank interest rate of 2%, that interest is worth about 50 cents, so I guess it pushes the per issue rate up to .66).


title: Fun and entertaining

text: Great magazine, we get lots of decorating ideas from it.


title: I bought as a gift

text: I bought this script as a gift, but they seemed to enjoy it, said they got some fun idea's from it, and the price was great when I bought it.


title: Could be significantly improved, with a little effort from the company!

text:
I like the articles, even though many are not written by actual scientists. The bad news is the business end - renewing, logging in to the site for digital content, getting the apps to work right, etc. I was auto-renewed in April for a subscription that ends in June. I couldn't cancel this action at their web site, I had to call to get it removed.
I typically read articles from the magazine daily in my browser on my mac, but I have to log-in each time even though I have accepted all their cookies. I also had a problem getting the app to work on one of my Android tablet, but it works fine on my iPad. (??) I contacted SciAm about the Android issue by email and I just got a form reply which did nothing to resolve the issue. So I won't be renewing. I can find most of these articles free on the web and there are so many similar articles available for free online from other sources.
I won't be paying $34.99 to put up with the issues I've had this year.


title: refused a subscription

text: I recently emailed Curve to try to get a subscription. I have a gender-neutral name, and the editors assumed I was a man. Well, I am not. They told me that I was probably looking for a different magazine, because they are a lesbian magazine. They gave me the number for 'American Curve' magazine instead. I am really offended. Even if I had been a man, why should men (fathers, male relatives, and friends of gay women) be excluded from subscribing? I hate when some lesbians act out this stereotype of man-haters. My wife and I have plenty of male friends, and those friends would probably pick up an issue of Curve and flip through it just to see what's going on with "our people".<br />This really hurt my feelings.
