Might be the best car magazine on the market.


title: A good magazine.

text: A good magazine.


title: Not good.

text: Could be better. It seems like they often do not go into as much detail as they could on some things.


title: Excellent Articles

text: excellent articles; don't see these topics anywhere else... well written by knowledgeable authors...


title: Must Have for Opera Listeners

text: This is the magazine to have with all the news and opera events around the world. The photography is always excellent. During the Met opera season each Saturday broadcast is covered including timings of each of the acts and between act features. The back always has reviews of new opera CD's and DVD. If you love opera you need this magazine.


title: best mag out there

text: i love readers digest.


title: Great magazine, but lots of mail scams

text: Great magazine. Horrible scam artists. Like others who have posted, we also got suckered into the "free" mailer stuff, and was later billed for keeping it. I think we'll just check this magazine out at the library and cancel our subscription.


title: High Fashion

text: Harper's is the best if you enjoy high fashion.  Yes, most of the items featured are completely unaffordable for the average person.  However, by looking at the featured designer items and the gorgeous photo layouts, you can get an idea of what's fashionable or will be fashionable in about 2 months.  If you want to stay ahead of the trends, this is a must-have.


title: No thankyou ...I'll pass on these "not-that-funny" photos!

text:
Sorry but I find this collection of staged cat "dress-up" photos to be anything but humorous. I am a cat owner and would never do this to my animal (dress up with phony backgrounds) and I find it a tad offensive that someone else would try to make a fast buck off her cat in this manner. If these were "natural" pictures I wouldn't mind. Also I have actually seen much better collections of cats and kittens without the silly dress-up element. Like beauty.... humor must be "in the eye of the beholder" and this "beholder" is not laughing!

title: RV dreams

text:
My long term plan is to buy a Class C motorhome in a couple of years.

My thought in ordering this magazine was to learn before I buy.  This magazine does not dissappoint!

I've owned a 5th wheel and loved it.  The newer motorhomes make traveling RV style much easier.

If you own an RV or aspire to own one, this is a good magazine for you


title: Saddle up

text:
LOVE this magazine.

I don't live on a ranch or have horses.  I want to learn more about them and the lifestyle.

As a professional photographer, I want to be able to learn as much as I can about those cowboys, horses, wranglers and the like that I want to photograph.  This fits my purposes well.

This is a great publication for horsemen, novice or those interested in the lifestyle.


title: Great for cowboys, indians, rodeo lovers and everyone in between.

text:
Great publication!

The in-depth articles, beautiful photographs and hearty paper stock make this magazine a keeper.

The magazine features historical articles with photographs, current events that pertain to those who rodeo and/or ranch hands, horse lovers, celebrity articles and much MUCH more.

I pour over each edition and wait anxiously for the next one.

Love this publication.


title: a quality magazine w/ balance and beauty

text: A good magazine, with enjoyable articles, lots of quality images for inspiration, consumer advice, and enjoyment, mixed with more thought-provoking and in depth pieces, including interviews.  The magazine tackles some heavy topics from time to time, but balances it well with other, lighter pieces so it's not overwhelming and depressing.  A high quality of magazine journalism in an engaging and enjoyable format.  I wish there were fewer ads; there really are a lot!  But I know that's the only reason the subscription price is so low...  (Would they consider a fewer-ad print version for a higher price, I wonder?  I'm not interested in the e-edition because I that a difficult way to read magazines.)

title: a real timesaver for the mom of young kids

text:
This magazine has really blown me away.  I wish there was some way to measure the amount of time it has saved me in the kitchen!  I bought it at first because of the master shopping list in the front which allows me to stock up my pantry and freezer at the start of each month and then make smaller trips for each weeks' worth of food.

I like the Have You Tried? feature which helps me introduce new foods to my husband and toddlers.  I really like how the recipes are designed to use the same ingredient several times... I'm not left with 3/4 cup of some odd condiment which will sit in my fridge for a year and then get thrown out.

I absolutely love the meal index; I check off each recipe as I make it which allows me to glance at the overall picture of our diet and see if I have given my family enough variety of different meats and vegetarian entrees.  There are side dishes, after school snacks, breakfast ideas, a microwave recipe, a freezer recipe... they really have taken the time to cover all bases.  In fact, in just a few short months it has gotten to the point where this magazine is all I cook from.  My cookbooks are gathering dust :-)  It has simplified my life to such an extent that when my mother called to see if I would bring a dessert to a family party, I grabbed the magazine and read her the list of 6 recipes.  We picked one that would be easy to make and transport.  It was a lot easier than brainstorming what to choose out of the hundreds of desserts one could possibly make.

I like that the recipe is all on one page - I attach it to my range hood with a magnetic clip and everything is easy to read but out of the way, not getting food spilled on it.  I also love the size which fits perfectly in my handbag and in a Ziploc bag once the month is over.  I put the magazine pages for each issue in a bag with the index on top and when my husband asks about a recipe, I can easily glance at each one until I find the dish he wants.

And I'll tell you another thing... many of the dishes contain salt and pepper and maybe one other spice.  The food is light and fresh tasting and delicious.  In fact, since I throw out my jarred spices after one year and replace them, my pantry shelf is down to just a handful because that's all that are called for in the magazine.  This magazine has saved me a TON of money.  Not to mention time!  My kids are 3, 1 1/2 and 6 months and this magazine has been a lifesaver in every way.  The cooking techniques are so easy that I can often prepare dinner with my oldest daughter, which she loves.  And I love that I am in and out of the kitchen quickly (most recipes I have found are less than 30 minutes) and I am enjoying my time in there more than ever.  In fact, I even have the energy most nights to clean up the kitchen after I'm done :-)

I could go on and on but the most salient point is this:  I feel healthier cooking from this magazine.  My fridge is packed with produce like it never was before!  I'm actually proud of the food I feed my family and that is worth every cent I've paid for this subscription and then some.


title: Hated the mag so much I cancelled,  virtually no info and all ads

text: This magazine is 90 percent advertising and then every article is so shallow it may as well be cosmo. I wanted to learn about how to improve my physique and maybe nutrition and fitness but I actually precancelled because I was frustrated with how poorly the magazine was constructed quality wise


title: Get your book club organized!

text: This magazine is a great way to get a book club to focus on what to read next. Basically the magazine is a collection of all sorts of "Best" lists to suit every taste. The "Selections" page starts with a collection of "staff favorites"  highlighted with a one-(don't bother)-to-five(rarely given, a timeless classic) star rating system. There's a digest of 27 "best books 2005" lists in a recent issue, a page on the Whitbread awards, a selection of current and upcoming books, reader recommendations, new in paperback, a year in books (e.g., 1981)etc. Coupled with very little advertising, it's great!


title: Five Stars

text: If only more people read this magazine, we'd have so much more understanding of the world we live in.


title: Excellent National, International and Business News Magazine

text: This has been my go magazine for the past year for national, international and business news. I particularly enjoy the front section that provides excellent coverage on the economy of the US and global. The news is relatively crisp in presentation, well written with in-depth articles covering more important events or political issues or individuals. I'm on my second year subscription.


title: Great Magazine Featuring Foreign Policy Experts

text: This is an excellent deep think  magazine that is put out every two months with the best writers of Foreign Policy in the world writing articulate and current articles about the state of affairs of various countries, problem spots and emerging issues. Each issue contains fact full essays that give you an accurate state of affairs and makes you think globally about the situation in Iraq or any political hotspot. What are the long the term ramifications of our dealing with Iran, Russia and Venuzuela nationalizing oil etc.? If you don't know, this magazine's writers will give you the full view.


title: The best ever!

text: This magazine was a gift subscription for dear friend who loves to read.  It is a gateway to goodness with diverse opinions and brilliantly written reviews.  Anyone who loves books and reading should not miss an issue.


title: Every Bird Lover's Dream

text: I love this magazine an all time favorite! I am excited every time it arrives, beauty and nature at its best!


title: Great articles, practical and useful

text: I like the magazine although it is costly compared to others, a good source.


title: Articles on medicine and technology.

text: I never thought I'd subscribe to Popular Mechanics!  But, I did and am very pleased with all the topics covered. No more about the inner workings of an old car, which had always been my perspective of this magazine.


title: Not upset with magazine content but-

text: I was confused to receive my first issue with three back ordered ones? Pretty bummed because we had already purchased them during our travels.


title: Wonderful!

text: Got this for our office lobby, we have kids and adults seeing counselors. This is an awesome magazine and everyone loves it!

title: Great magazine

text: Love this magazine! After subscribing to some of the other fitness type magazines in the past and not really enjoying them, I was reluctant to try this one. The price was decent so I decided I would give it a shot though. I must admit, it's way better than some of them I have picked up. Most are loaded with all these super complicated workout routines that have you twisting, jumping, and skipping around like a fool and with very little weights or resistance. The exercises in this magazine seem way more sensible. The health articles are pretty interesting as well, and are full of intriguing facts. It's one I will likely be resubscribing to in the future.


title: Design Inspiration - Not DIY

text:
Let me start off by saying this isn't a DIY magazine in the traditional sense. There is very little step by step information and more "1800s Colonial Kitchen Remodel". It is a good source of design inspiration for home renovation as they cover lots of exterior, kitchen, great room and bathroom remodels with notes about why attention to period details is important. TOH covers several design options / material choices when covering things like wainscoting or tile and how to use them in your home.

I give it a 3 star rating because the writing isn't all that captivating ...but the photos are nice.


title: My Favorite Woodworking Magazine

text: Over the years, I have subscribed to several woodworking publications. While I am no woodworking wizard, I am an enthusiast who find the projects and writing of the Woodsmith staff to be among the best I have read. The pages are durable (unlike the cheap paper found in some magazines), the projects are interesting, the work shop projects and jigs are fun and best of all, no advertisements to weed through. Just page after page of useful information. Each magazine provides a cutlist (nothing unique to Woodsmith) and specific information for hardware (where to get it, the product number and finish) or other misc materials they use in their projects. They also have free woodworking videos online.

attachment_type: IMAGE


title: Other Review are Bit Generous

text: I have subscribed to several woodworking magazines over the years and have found WOOD to be the least informative of the group. I am usually excited when the woodworking magazines arrive in the mail and read them several times over. The only one that tends to get discarded after a single read through is WOOD. I find the quality of writing to be marginal and the projects to be less desirable to build. They have a good mix of projects (ranging in skill level and time to build) which is good, but they dont motivate me to go out and build them. I prefer Woodsmith and Popular Woodworking.


title: Great

text: Really Great


title: I'm Done With Dwell

text: I have been an enthusiastic reader of Dwell for a couple of years. I liked it for it's focus on modern housing and home products. I have become bored with some of the content aimed at teaching readers about product design and commercial buildings. I am interested mainly in articles about modern homes, interiors, landscapes and furniture. I'm also tired of having environmentalism crammed down my throat. I'm not looking for a political viewpoint; just a good magazine about Modern homes. I'm going to subscribe to Atomic Ranch instead.


title: Good alternative to Martha Stewart

text: Better Homes and Gardens does not have the clean and thoughtful layouts and classy look of Martha Stewart Living. However, the ideas are useful to more people living in all parts of the country. I find that MSL is better for east coast living. Here in Arizona, it's hard to find the materials and ingredients suggested in their articles. I still read MSL for inspiration and entertainment. Better Homes is more practical, giving ideas I actually use.


title: Poor communication. Content sub-par.

text: I started with Hello for a 2yr old. The book was durable and toddler friendly, but the content lacked any sort of stimulation. I went online and upgraded to High Five only to start receiving the original big kids version, the only way to remedy the mistake is to contact customer service. My email started getting spammed to reorder 6 months (half way) into the subscription, 2 months prior would be more than sufficient. No repeat business here.


title: MCN is hands down the best motorcycle publication

text: Every issue is fantastic, cover to cover. Reviews are thorough, accurate, and honest. Contributors offer a variety of excellent articles.  Dropped all other mags and only subscribe to this one.


title: Great magazine!

text: I think is the best aircooled magazine!  but it is a shame, it doesnt exist as e-magazine.  You should do something about it


title: Don't know

text: I haven't received my first issue yet so can't say.  When is it going to come?????????  I think I'll like it if I ever get it.


title: Good magazine for the home handyman.

text: Some very good articles.  I plan to keep all the issues so I can refer back to them when I need to repair or add an item.


title: Very good

text: Informative, educational, and always looked forward to seeing it arrive.


title: Mothers' Day Gift!

text: This was a gift to my wife for mothers' day. She wasn't a regular consumer of the mag but seems to enjoy it. She's enjoying the healthy recipes and testimonials. Good buy!

text: I always enjoy each month's Reader's Digest. There are always informative articles in it, as well as interesting true experiences, tidbits of wisdom, etc.


title: Superior business reading

text: Have been a subscriber for over 20 years and it has now become my go-to magazine for what happens in the business world


title: Sports Illustrated

text: Renewing Sports Illustrated magazine on Amazon was extremely easy and the price was cheaper than I could find anywhere else.

text: Per the most recent issue of EW received, the subscriiption has not been renewed.  I enjoy EW's TV, movie and book sections for info on what's good and why,


title: World War II History Magazine Subscription

text: Outstanding articles. I read the magazines from cover to cover and look forward to the next issue. The article are often first hand accounts. Very hightly recomment for anyone who has interests in WWII.


title: Review of The Dickensian

text: If you like (or love) Dickens,this is the publication for you. Short concise articles on all phases of Dickens writings/life/andthing close to Dickens writings or life is featured. GREAT pub. Keep up the great work!


title: Not As Bad As The Rest

text:
I've been looking long and hard for a very good video game magazine.  I never found it.
I settled on EGM simply because it's the best of the heap.
The reviews are okay. The stories range anywhere boring to acceptable.  Also their are no PC game reviews here, so if that's what you want, don't bother looking here.
The major problem with these magazines is all the news is so outdated by the time it publishes and hits the news stand.  I wish someone would make a weekly game magazine, but I suppose it's just a pipe dream.
If you need to have a video game magazine, choose this one. Otherwise try .... or another gaming website for more current information, for free no less!


title: Horrible Customer Service!

text: Wow, taking this review to Amazon because I have not been able to get any help from Ski Magazine's customer service. I ordered a year subscription DIRECTLY from ski magazine, only to get a confirmation 2 weeks! later informing me my dad would get his first issue in Sept 2019! WHAT?! That's almost a year away. When I called the customer service office, it took about 1 hour on hold, and the representative rudely informed me, with an attitude, that people only ski in the winter so of course the magazine only has 6 issues. WRONG LADY! There are 2 hemispheres, and people ski year round, all around the world. What idiocy of someone working for a ski magazine! She refused to give me my money back, and now I'm out $20+ and dad has no ski magazine during the ski season. I hope someone with competency who is actually EMPOWERED to help will reach out to me and do the right thing. Until then, I'll warn everyone to steer clear of this stupid magazine!


title: national geographic

text: I just got my first 2 issues and I can't put them down.  I love the tv program but the magazine is awesome.


title: Sew Beautiful Magazine

text: Got this as a gift for my daughter who really enjoys sewing.  Was very happy with the magazine and an added bonus that there was sewing patterns included in each issue.  The bad news is the magazine is going out of production before her subscription expires. Not sure how this will be remedied by the publication.


title: Modern Love

text: If you love modern, this is the magazine for you.  Lots of great stories and pictures of modern homes and furniture.  I loved getting this magazine every month.  For a new lover of modern, it was a great introduction.


title: Great Ideas & Great Escape!

text: Purchased this subscription for my mother. She had 'borrowed' a few from her dentist & every six months raved about a picture, a recipe, or an article--until her next cleaning. It is a highlight to her mail box. We love trying new recipes and looking at design & destination ideas...if it only came with a winning lotto ticket!


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Great magazine for little kids

text: My 3 year old niece loves this magazine a whole lot partially because she loves mail, but regardless, she "reads" it over and over again.  She is extremely sensitive to scary stories or pictures and this magazine is none of that.  It's really sweet and has the kind of stories that keep her innocent little mind at peace.  My sister loves it because it doesn't add to the "more stuff" problem she has because my niece has two sets of grandparents that spoil her to no end.  And I love it because I live far away from her and she now remembers that her auntie gives her a magazine in the mail every other month. :)

title: All Advertising, No content

text: My son and daughter love reading about nature, and wildlife etc. so we got this subscription and were so dissapointed.  A normal issue was 5% (probably being kind) informational content, 5% useless content (non educational items) and the remaining 90% was advertisements.  Would never recommend this to anyone.  Save your money.

Just can't wait to read each issue....like the old days!

Wish all my motorcycle mags were this good.

Great articles.


title: For BMXers only

text: You have to really be into this sport for the magazine to be for you. I was hoping there would be more about the health of bmxers....like injuries and knee problems and how to avoid these things.


title: ORDERED DIFFERENT MAGAZINE - GOT THIS INSTEAD

text:
I emailed Amazon customer service because I was missing the April/May 2019 issue of the Taste of Home Simple & Delicious magazine. They informed me that "Simple & Delicious magazine has ceased publication" and that I would instead be receiving the June/July 2019 issue of Taste of Home magazine. I am so disappointed that the publisher only notified me of this when I emailed about a missing issue. It would be great to let the subscribers know this before the issues are missing from their mailbox.

I am also frustrated because they didn't even bother to solve the issue of the missing April/May 2019 magazine. So I pay for a year of Simple & Delicious magazine, and receive only one issue? Not okay.

So I have paid for a year of one magazine and received only one issue of what I paid for. I'll be getting 4 issues of this magazine, which if I didn't subscribe to in the first place. Pay for a year of magazines (6 issues) and only receive 5 issues (only 1 from the magazine I actually wanted).

I will never again order a magazine from this subscription company. Synapse is not reliable and the customer service is lacking. Have emailed back and forth a few times with no help whatsoever. Very disappointed.

text: great read, manages to stay topical, insightful and entertaining


title: Not what it used to be - for the worse

text: Cancelled midway through a $5 subscription because this magazine isn’t worth the price of a latte anymore, I guess. The last 3 issues were such a disappointment. The articles and interviews are so uninspired now. Same with the style advice. All the columns that made Esquire such a pleasure to read for the last few years are gone. There are way more ads than articles in every issue. Or at least it feels that way since pictures take up 3/4 of each page of “content.” The most insulting part is that there’s only 6 issues a year now, down from 10, down from 12. What’s the point? Where’s the timeliness? Comparing a recent masthead with an old issue, it looks like they got rid of everyone who used to work on the magazine and replaced them with the people who ran the website. That must be why the magazine seems like a shadow of what it once was.

title: A First Time Reader

text: Being a first time reader of this magazine I was somewhat skeptical, wondering whether I could really enjoy this periodical cover-to-cover. What followed was a delightful surprise. The articles were clearly written and informative without "technical babble". The magazine was also well illustrated and I believe that it could be enjoyed by almost anybody.

text: Just into yoga, this has articles helpful for every level it seems.


title: Cute book

text: Cute and informative and bright colorful pictures that my daughter loves. Pages are of good quality paper and holds up to having the pages being turned thousands of time. The coating on the pages make it easy to almost wipe clean from simple sticky messes. Wouldn't recommend getting wet on purpose though, not that kind of book. It is a perfect size for small hands and laps. Simple words on each page but enough information to fulfill the attention span that it takes to comprehend the pictures.


title: A must-read for lovers of the west coast

text: Sunset is a must-read at our house. We are always finding great recommendations of things to do and places to go. We just moved back to California from Utah and I was not impressed with their Utah edition of the magazine - they rarely featured things to do in the state, and the gardening tips were always for California dwellers. Now that we're back in California, the magazine is much more applicable to where we're living.


title: Excellent mag

text: Can't cancel


title: Don't waste your money!

text: These are like little newspaper fliers. Took forever to start receiving them. Now we get quite a few sometimes even 2 at a time, but they aren't all current prints. It's June, a couple weeks ago we got one from Feb. Fiance is not impressed and sometimes doesn't even look at them. Huge waste of my money!

title: Don’t know

text: I don’t remember if I received the magazine


title: Pretty good offer. Would re-sub at the same rate.

text: Subscription price is basically the same cost as buying a single issue, so it was a no brainer to get the subscription. A+


title: Too expensive

text: The subscription costs too much. I won't renew next year for the high price of $29.95.  Couldn't find a better deal.


title: Country Living for the Modern Family

text: I can't stand hokey country decor full of knick knacks and calico so this is NOT the magazine for those seeking country clutter!  This is "country" for the modern gal or guy.  The homes are fresh and modern, often industrial chic even.  They have to-do projects that are easy and worth dedicating time to.  The homes showcased often use decor purchased at discount stores such as Home Goods, Marshalls, even Target and Walmart, yet they never look cheap.  This is decor we can emulate even on a budget!


title: Coastal Living has me all at sea!

text: Coastal Living is the perfect peek into beautiful yet diverse coastal homes and cottages so if you long for a coastal life of your own, this may be just the ticket until you make it a reality.  I love the way they put a coastal theme into every holiday (starfish on the Christmas tree and an octopus cut out on a pumpkin for Fall!  And the price of the subscription is far below the newstand price so this deal rocks as well!


title: Relaxing on the veranda with Veranda!

text: Actually I'm on my balcony so technically it's not a veranda, but the idea is the same!  Snap up a copy of Veranda Magazine (subscribing makes it a lot cheaper!), a glass of wine or other long cold drink, put your feet up and spend a few hours poring over the fantastic homes in the pages of Veranda.  The photography is top notch and there is a wide variety of homes featured.  I subscribe to several home mags and recently ditched Architectural Digest in favor of this one.  Why? Because the homes are clean, modern and accessible.  Homes in AD tend toward aristocratic, cluttered, dark and gilt edged (or 24 karat wrapped)! Unless you've recently been knighted by Queen Elizabeth or have a second castle in the Loire Valley, you'll probably prefer the homes inhabited by mere mortals in Veranda!

text: A very good magazine. A little too much advertising.


title: Reading

text: Great magazine


title: I love the format!

text: I like the idea of a main topic & many facts and/or stories based around that subject. Still very interesting & informative. A quick & easy read.


title: Very detailed articles

text: Most of first issue was on one subject, it was sound. I prefer a few subjects instead of mostly one.  Overall, done well.

title: Broad appeal

text: I have been so pleasantly surprised by the variety of articles.  There is broad appeal to this magazine.


title: The most helpful TV guide

text: This is the most comprehensive TV guide out there.  I especially enjoy the articles about upcoming shows in terms of knowing when they will air, and more info about casts and plots so I can plan recording vs watching times, etc.  Still the best!


title: Great reading.

text: Excellent stories abound.


title: Great Magazine

text: This is an excellent magazine.  It is published by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and its standards are high, despite the remarks by the previous reviewer.  RE: Nvasky, ignore the ad hominem attack.  Executive Editor Michael Hoyt describes Navasky's role as "99% financial," saying "he doesn't push anything editorially," and that he has "learned how to get a small magazine of ideas into the black, and he's trying to come up with some strategies for us."  CJR makes some articles available for free on its web site, so check them out and see for yourself.

text: Very good articles.


title: Want some ads for yoga stuff? Here you go!

text:
I'm a certified yoga instructor and I'll admit, the Yoga Journal website can be a very useful source of information about various poses and other basic information.  Unfortunately, the magazine isn't really worth the price.  It taps into the "trendy fitness" market--lose weight!  Tone your core!  Look great!  De-stress and detox!  It's true, yoga can help with those things, but do we really need another magazine out there telling us we need to look better and lose more weight? Even if you think we do, those articles (Tone your core!) are very brief and not all that informative.  Seriously, go to the website instead.

The other thing the magazine does is something that pretty much all magazines do, I guess: it markets.  It is so full of ads that it's difficult to find the articles.  Ironic, since yoga is supposed to lead to happiness from the inside: that is to say, yoga is non-materialistic.  Oh well.

So to reiterate: do yourself a favor.  Go to the website instead of investing in this magazine.


title: Glossy pics, lifestyles of the rich and not famous, horrible writing

text:
I have the latest issue in front of me.  Page 26 is pretty much the first substance in the magazine, so there are 25 pages (give or take) of ads (table of contents, etc...).  Then we have a "profile" of a "style maker" type person.  I never got past the first paragraph.  The paragraph includes:
1) Her astrological sign
2) That she "reads auras"
3) Manages to name drop 2 designer brands.
4) Attributes her sentimentality to her astrological sign.
REALLY?  What are we?  Stuck in some 1990's new age?  This magazine has lovely photographs, of high end rooms, furniture, "money no object" decorating.  It is mainly ads.  You must never read any of the articles, if you want to preserve your brain cells.  Just look at the pictures. Apparently, if we care what our surroundings look like, we operate at the mental level of reality TV?


title: Great magazine for those who like to remember the past

text: Brings back memories, and events before my time.  We enjoy reading each issue.


title: enjoyment

text: Ive watched all the shows and the information I pick up from her magazine is well worth the price of the magazine


title: Four Stars

text: Not at all disappointed


title: Rolling Stone! Great Magazine

text: This is a great magazine and I got a great deal on it!  It covers a variety of artists and public figures making it of interest to many different age groups...certainly would reccomend!


title: Have always enjoyed Time magazine

text: I have always enjoyed reading Time magazine!


title: Great read!

text: I’ve always loved Reader’s Digest so it was a no brainer to get started with it again! I love all the articles, and the jokes keep me smiling.


title: Five Stars

text: very educational


title: Three Stars

text: too many ad's


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome articles and pictures. I love ready from this magazine and learning from this source.


title: No longer special

text: It used to always be very interesting and surprising, often featuring fascinating, eccentric and exotic places.  Now it shows mostly boring or predictable interiors, clearly trending away from aesthetics toward fashion or celebrity "culture."  So sad to see it become mainstream.  A genuine loss.


title: Good quality.

text: This is a high quality magazine that is ideal for those who love black and white photography. There is nothing on techniques in this magazine, which is appropriate. The emphasis is on presenting high quality black and white photographs from various photographers that are a joy to see and are very inspirational. Highly recommended.


title: Value for my money and honesty

text: I wanted the large print which could have been my error. I ordered on here for $5 but then received a bill from Readers Digest for $10. it wound up costing me $15, that wasn't much of a deal.


title: All the classic rock you need

text: Wide coverage of old and new bands and the monthly CD has opened me up to some great music that would have gotten overlooked or missed.


title: My son loves this magazine

text: My son gets excited each time this magazine comes in the mail. It is very informative, and the articles are short enough for a child to read, and keep his interest.


title: This is a SALES magazine

text: Keep in mind, this magazine written for the purpose to sell you log cabin designs and building services from various places. If you are interested in the daily details of ownership, decoration tips, maintenance articles, etc - - this is NOT the magazine for you. If you are simply interested in what log cabins look like and how their floorplans can work, then grab a single copy. Highly recommend you grab ONE first before you subscribe. They are all mostly the same: marketing material.


title: Family enjoys it

text: Enjoy reading this magazine my does as well


title: Too much advertisement!!

text: Would not recommend!  Very dissappointed in the magazine. I cancelled It.  It is all product advertisement.Good if you are looking for product choices.


title: Great find!

text: Just received our first issue, and are very impressed with the diversity of articles and recipes. Great find!


title: My kids enjoy

text: My kids enjoy reading this.  They get excited when it comes in the mail.  I like it because, even though they are not reading a book, they are still reading and learning.


title: Good read for WWII buffs

text: This is a gift for my grandson who is a WWII buff.


title: Victoria magazine.

text: With libraries closed its special to have this lovely magazine to savor.


title: Two Stars

text: not as expected


title: Never Received 1 issue. Think twice

text: I've subscribed to this magazine's print edition.  I've never received ONE issue. I continue to buy it on the newsstand or drug store. In fact, almost every magazine I've subscribed to via Amazon, I've never received the print issue at all. I suggest going directly to the magazine's site or the publisher.  Shame , cause it's getting nice nothing I like better than sitting on the deck in the sun and read a magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: I've always loved Entertainment Weekly. Very satisfied with my subscription. It came right away.


title: Some good advice but overall not a great magazine

text: I have been a subscriber for a few years and have found alot of the articles repetitive and not all that educational. Recently I have subscribed to Shutterbug which is a much better magazine for both the novice and professional photographer. Its articles are insightful and even after many years they still can teach this old photographer a few new tricks !!!!


title: Hasn't arrived

text: It hasn't arrived yet. We love Ranger Rick around here. Can't wait for it to show up!


title: Five Stars

text: It is a gift and receive the Ioves it


title: ARTICLES FOR KIDS, ADS FOR ADULTS

text: Very disappointed. Its full of ads, like Maker's Mark, male enlargement pills, cigars, warts remover, cigarettes, and pharma pills. Not happy at all. I bought for my kids who love to read things with substance. I ended up tearing the ad pages and handing the magazine to the kids.


title: Favorite finance magazine

text: Always been my favorite finance magazine. Their values line up with mine. It cheap but gives great advice for us that like to do it on our own.


title: my gdaughter loved it

text: great at keeping the kiddo occupied.


title: #1 in Gardening

text: The best gardening magazine available.  Well written articles and helpful hints from real gardeners.

The 1st issue just arrived. The content is marvelous

All science teachers should use Science News.

title: Beautiful Pictures and Decorating Ideas

text: Always beautiful pictures and interior and exterior decorating ideas.  Plus a great place to get gift ideas especially for friends that have a cottage and as hostess gifts.


title: Great Gift Idea

text: This was a gift subscription so I cannot rate it.  My friend specifically requested this subscription so she must like the magazine or she would not have asked for it.


title: Prompt delivery

text: The first issue has arrived and I am enjoying the articles.


title: Didn’t know what we were missing till this activity magazine arrived in the mail.

text: Gives us fun activities we can do together.


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine science based


title: Love it

text: Love this magazine


title: Favorite magazine

text: Amazing pictures and interesting stories


title: Tired of celebrities on the cover

text: I've had a Vogue subscription for at least 10 years but will not be renewing my subscription.  I'm tired of seeing celebrities on the cover-if I was interested in them I would subscribe to People or InStyle magazine.  The magazine has become much more celebrity-focused over the years instead of being fashion-focused.  There's plenty of celebrity content to be found in mags and on the web.  No thanks.


title: The best Auto/Car Diecast Magazine From Out of Nowhere

text:
There are quite a few diecast magazines or collecting magazines that have a section on diecasts but right now, this new magazine has clearly set a completely new benchmark.

Unlike other magazine categories, diecast magazines have tended to be a fly-by-night operation with sloppy page layouts, smudgy photos, low res printed on poor newsprint or if bound like a real magazine - filled with typos, grammatical errors and written by someone with a GED ... earned on the third try.

Diecast X is NONE of those failings. On the production end - it rivals "real" car magazines. Solid paper stock, excellent and professional design, layout and editorial (and no typos! :-) but what really  makes it first rate are the photographs ... professional set up, lighting and of course, excellent reproduction ... again, that rival the real car magazines such as AUTOMOBILE or CAR & DRIVER. Every page has 2-5 photos - all in color or appropriate monochrome (historical).

These qualities alone are worth reading and subscribing. Then you add in first class writing writing and editorial - you have a great magazine. The editorial covers a lot of ground and while it is a specialized topic, they write with general readers in mind - and do not get too arcane or geeky ... it's a fun read but informative.

Even the ads are from high end diecast companies & retailers so they are also top notch.

This magazine is not really well known so if you know a collector, this would be a great gift or if you haven't seen it on your newsstand, this handily beats the rest out there.

The only quibble is it only comes out 4 times a year.


title: Fun Magazine and Helpful

text: I like Time Magzine. I used it to inform me about variosu topics whether political, social, and cultural topics.


title: Good liberal magazine

text: Gives you and honest view of public policy in our government. It makes you think, very good writers. People must read this good liberal and progressive magazine


title: Good magazine, couldn't download on older android device

text: I like the magazine once I was able to get the subscription to work.  I couldn't download to my android device with having to pay again.  Finally I was able to get the iPad version.  Still waiting for the print copy to come in the mail.


title: No price for knowledge

text: Good product, have been subscribing for many years, kids and adults love it. Would subscribe again in the future years


title: what to say amazon giving a rescue to the moribund ...

text: what to say amazon giving a rescue to the moribund publishing industry of which I remember my father receiving Hemming's when I was a young lad. A wealth of cars parts and information.


title: Still around!

text: If you know your argot your preposterous pols, stand by Charlie.


title: I asked to have this removed!!!  I will decide if and when I want to renew something!!!!!!!

text: I emailed right away to cancel this --- I was told that it was!!!!  Obviously the "automatic renewal" went through even though I asked to have it removed!!!!  I DO NOT WANT THE "AUTO-RENEWAL" ON Y RECORD ANY MORE!!!!  IF YOU DON'T REMOVE IT, I WILL CONTACT THE COMMERCE COMMISSION!!!!  I will write Cook's Illustrated again to take this off my account --- or I will change my credit card number and no one will be able to charge against it.  This is outrageous and a sneaky way to operate;<br />such audacious egregious thing to do!!!!


title: Five Stars

text: The price was better than through the magazine direct and the subscription renewed in a very timely fashion.


title: This is a great magazine

text: Lovers of beauty and style, unite! Veranda is an interior design magazine that will inspire. The full color spreads, all by leading design photographers, are not only stunning but sophisticated.  You'll get great information about the latest textiles, wall and floor coverings. I love their articles about art and design history. This is one of my all-time favorites and, as I can't bear to throw a copy away, it's become a wonderful resource whenever I'm looking for inspiration..


title: Food for thoughts

text: This publication is enjoyed by myself and my family. We were surprised that it did indeed come sooner than the time stated. The value could not be beat. This title is recommend for those who love science and technology.


title: Not a waste of money

text: This magazine has improved a lot in the last couple of years with their new editor.  It's gone from 'fashion' magazine that tried to be interesting to something with articles Really worth reading.  Buy it if you are especially interested in international and / or women's issues.  Each issue does have beauty, clothes, career, fitness and celebrity articles as well.  My favorite pages are the music, books and movie reviews and the articles about women abroad.  Buy the whole year, I have resubcribed every year since I first got an issue 4 years ago, and I've given it as a gift subscription too.


title: Burda Style English Edition

text: This is one of my favorite magazines. There aren't any other magazines (that I have found) here in the States that have sewing patterns included. The magazine only has directions on how to sew one of the styles they show. It is mostly for people who have an idea how to sew and put together a design, or someone who would like to learn and have tons of patterns to do it with.

title: A Valuable Resource For Photographers

text: A great, informative magazine for photographers, from the basics to the professional. Easy to read with incredible examples of photography with each issue.


title: Two thumbs up for Yankee

text: I love this magazine!  It covers the New England area like no other, with interesting articles, history and a great calendar of local events. The photography rocks. The fall foliage photos of the September/October issue are almost as good as being there, simply stunning!  A very enjoyable read, year 'round.


title: I don't get the weekly weekly

text: There are weeks I don't get the weekly. It doesn't come on time like they say it is suppous too


title: Haven't Received a Single Issue

text: It's been more than a month and I still have not received a single issue. How long should it take to add my name to a list of subscribers?


title: Love that my thirteen year old and I fight over who gets the first read

text: As a parent and a teacher, I'm thrilled to see my son's consistent interest in the magazine.  He's pretty specific in his interests and yet, he always finds something in National Geo that grabs his attention. And yes, we do argue about who reads it first.


title: Knife must have.

text: This magazine helps keep you updated on a mounthly basis on what is happening in the ever changing knife world.


title: Gun's and Ammo

text: Always on the cutting edge. This Mag. covers the the gun world from A to Z. I would recomend this Mag to any gun enthusiast.


title: Five Stars

text: A great magazine with excellent articles


title: Five Stars

text: a great resource for healthy living tips


title: Good writing resource for both fiction and non-fiction

text:
I have a problem getting through most magazines. I read as much as I can when the magazine first arrives, but over the next couple of days, I start to lose interest and it just ends up at the bottom of my nightstand, unfinished.

I don't know why, but that doesn't happen with The Writer. It holds my interest and I end up reading most, if not all, of the articles from beginning to end. Maybe it's because I write both fiction and non-fiction, but whatever it is, I'll be renewing my subscription.


title: Always a great gift

text: Fantastic for yourself and an amazing gift. Cannot go wrong with National Geographic. We grew up looking at the photos with my mom and dad when we were little. The articles and information helped us write reports and papers before the "internet age". I love having this magazine in our house and sharing them with friends and family. Its a great gift for everyone and anyone.


title: Five Stars

text: granddaughter loves this


title: False. Not True. Made-Up Stories. Waste of your Time.

text: Lies and made up stories. The cover right now has Kate Middleton shouting “I’m having a girl!”, including the baby’s name, Alice. The Royal Family announces pregnancies, withholds gender reveals, and names aren’t given until after the baby is born. If the front cover is a complete lie, what does that say about the rest of the content inside?


title: The magazine has become political.

text: There is no mathematical formula that can be devised that will tell of who is "cheating".  "Leveling the playing field" so that all are the same is called Marxism.


title: Super Great Deal!

text: This deal for the magazine was too good to pass up.  I'm an avid Glamour reader and it makes me happy to know that I only  paid for the price of about 3 magazines for a whole year's worth of magazines.  Thank you for the great deal! :)


title: Three Stars

text: It's a pretty good magazine.  And I am happy I'm getting to try it for free.


title: ... for the manson cover but it was def a good

text: I bought this mostly for the manson cover but it was def a good read


I subscribed years ago, and its just not the same mag. Less 'how-to', Less in depth.
I airbrush as well. I subscribe to Airbrush Action. Not for the subject matter, which might not be up your ally. But note the layout, the step-by-step,
Q&A. Too bad Artist's Magazine didn't maintain the quality.


title: Five Stars

text: Hands down the best of the bunch.


title: Five Stars

text: A step up from Juvey!


title: Fun.

text: Kind of juvenile.  Fun.


title: Out of touch.

text: Came here to cancel my subscription. The articles are absolutely ridiculous. Most recently read an article discussing several culturally significant books, how they shouldn't be read, and their suggested alternatives. It was as if I were reading a trashy internet article. The content averages on that level of sophistication. Do not bother. It's not as cool as you think it is.


title: Ultra-liberal magazine

text: Don't buy this expecting the news.  You will get the news only from a left wing/socialist slant.  Anything that doesn't fit their world view will be ignored or dismissed.  There is no such thing as reporting only the news to today's media.  Everything is editorial.


title: Interesting and Relevant

text: Great deal for the price. Three issues received so far with mostly informative and interesting articles. I like the idea of each article having a theme (weather, time, etc). Articles are up to date with scientific information.


title: Must be able to read to use this product

text: Excellent ideas. Solid advice.


title: Unpredictable

text: Received one issue in 10 weeks, have not received another.


title: 1 year subscription and only got 1 magazine

text: I bought a 1 year subscription for my son for Christmas this year and he just got reminded of it today. We got one issue and then never got another one which is really unfortunate because he says he liked the one he got.


title: Three Stars

text: I was not what I think


title: Three Stars

text: Its okay but the price point to is high.....


Had a one year subscription.  Don't go to Catholic Church very often but it is a nice worship aid if you do.


title: Great for the music lover

text: This is not your tipical music mag with all the coorporate mainstream bull.  This mag turns you on to what is up and coming in the music world and is a great tool for finding new music.  I recomend it to everyone that enjoys good music.


title: Perfect gift for mom!

text: Perfect gift for mom!  She loves it!!!


title: I like Veranda, French Country Style

text: Traditional Home seems to have gone from Traditional to Contemporary décor. I like Veranda, French Country Style, and Southern Homes much better.


title: One Star

text: Too Contemporary designs for me. Prefer Traditional, French Country, and elegant designs.


title: Yum!

text: I love to cook from magazine recipes. Sometimes I find the recipes call for ingredients I can't find where I live but I improvise and I learn new flavor combinations and techniques.


title: You may have this subscription for life

text: First, I do love the magazine and got it for my granddaughter.  HOWEVER,  buyer beware!  While there is supposed to be a way to change the address - there is NOT -  and they simply don't live there anymore .  Also the buttons to cancel auto-renewal do not work either.  AND you cannot cancel the order - that gets rejected.  If you want the magazine for your child or grandchild - better and safer to go directly through the magazine to subscribe.  Otherwise you may be paying for this subscription for the life of your child and beyond.


title: Where are my magazines?

text: Bought beginning of July, received one magazine in September and not another since. Can I get my money back?


title: Politics

text: I currently have a subscription to this magazine and I will not be renewing.  I get this magazine for articles helpful to understand mechanic and technology not for the politicl opinions you have been inserting.


title: Designing catered to you.

text: I love to get HGTV magazine. They cover everything from how to style your front porch, to your garden, to your living room. They also have great sections on how to design at bargain prices that don’t break the budget. They make hard projects easy and give everyone the opportunity to redo their home! Definitely worth the price!

text: Great magazine for ideas and trends.  Articles, tips, how to, and much more.  Novice or advanced, the publication has the depth and the breadth for all interested in creating your own or making a timeless piece.


title: This is the one I keep!!

text: This is the one Motorcycle mag I keep.  I'm excited when it shows up in the mailbox and I always start in the back and work forward.  Innovations of the Month and then Fred Rau, then the rest of it... I always like what the Doc has to say and I have changed my lifestyle because of what I have read here.  This is a first class publication... Not a glossy, flashy (fill in description here) mag, but a great, solid motorcycle magazine!<br />I found these guys at the motorcycle show in the new (back then) Cardinal stadium in 2006.  I thought the price was a little steep but once I received the magazine I understood how things worked in this publication... No advertisers to keep happy just the readers!  The writers do not have to worry about corporate feelings and it shows in their writing!


title: Excellent read!

text: This is one of only a couple of magazines I consistently read cover to cover. Excellence in journalism, unmatched photography, and integrity make it a topnews source for current events and the people who shape our world.

text: Great magazine for a great price. Thank you Amazon


title: some useful info

text: I got this free somehow during a promotion. I have  a 5 yr old daughter, and the magazine does occasionally give me some inspiration for craft ideas, ways to keep her entertained, and information on parenting. I do like to read thru it when it comes, but not sure how much I would pay for it if it hadn't been free!


title: Great Magazine

text: If you love corvettes, you'll love this magazine.  It has great articles and insight into all Vettes from all eras.


title: Nice to flip through, but too many ads and not enough content

text:
This is nice to flip through every month for project ideas but they don’t have many “How To” project articles. They do some great reviews and comparisons on products, but often times I feel like I’m reading just more ads.

Almost every page has ads on them and the whole back is just pages of ads, so you really are just paying for ads with some content scattered throughout.

Pinterest might be a better source for project ideas, but at $5 for the year it’s nice to not always be staring at my phone all the time.

title: best cook guide ever

text:
I have read 10-12 alternatives over the years.  This is clearly the best. Hands down. Why?

1. No ads
2. Simple, creative, tested recipes which work and can be duplicated.
3. Great gadget reviews
4. Easy reading.
5. Recipes worth sharing.

Some alternatives which I subscribed to for years were useless.  I rarely ever used a Gourmet recipe.


title: Always on time

text: Bought this subscription for my daughter. She loves recieving the magazine every month. Now she has posters all over her room.


title: Good Mag!

text: Always a great gift for Dad, Whether he be a grease monkey, or tech nerd he will find something in each issue that he will enjoy.I happen to be both. :)


title: Disappointing - just service directories and ads

text: Absolutely horrible. I was expecting articles on the city, which I have visited many times and thoroughly enjoy. However, the first two issues I received were nothing more than Hospital/Doctor and Realtor directories. Nothing at all on places to go, to dine, to visit, happenings, celebrities, etc. very disappointing!!

title: Barely a bathroom read.

text:
The quality of flying has really gone down and it's barely over 100 pages, but to boot, the publishers have
chosen the dull matte cover finish which just makes it feel cheap.

The writers are the same as they've been for 20 years, writing the same old articles over and over again.
Just out of touch rich people writing about their glory days or about their recent $3.4 million dollar jet purchase.

If it wasn't more trouble than it's worth to cancel I probably would.

Miss the Popular Mechanics before it was (hipster) "popular" to be a mechanic.

There's always something or another which is just interesting enough to keep the sub going, but it's not
the Popular Mechanics that made me who I am today.

Unless you practice ritualistic grooming of your facial hair, before sipping some small batch whiskey and
wearing $300 jeans to fix an old truck that you paid more for than a new one would cost, there's much less to read each month.
Turns out that the ads are often more compelling than the content.

title: I heart the O Magazine

text: Love this magazine. Always timely with the latest studies and information on pertinent topics such as health, money, and self-reflection. Enjoy Martha Beck's column very much.


title: Staying connected in Pittsburgh

text:
I "retired" 2 years ago but am doing some part time consulting and continuing to work with several volunteer organizations that I've been involved with for years.  I wanted to stay connected to the business world and remain an "interesting person".  I chose Business Week and Wall St Journal as ways to keep up with what is going on.  I try to spend at least 1/2 hr per day reading these publications.  Each publication has their own area of coverage and viewpoint, but it is working well for me.

Negative - my old subscription was direct, I'm getting a few duplicate copies until the old one phases out.

text: My wife love it


title: For the Fiancee

text: I bought this subscription for my Fiancee, she loves it, I however an impartial 3 stars....


title: We have only received two magazines in seven months.

text: We have only received part of a magazine subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Nice magazine


title: No Longer Trust National Geographic

text: I will no longer purchase Nat Geo magazines, nor watch the channel on TV.  Rupert Murdoch's recent takeover is already beginning to influence the content and has subsequently diluted the Nat Geo name as a trusted source.  Unfortunate.  Sad.


title: Still waiting for my first issue

text: Its hard to write a review on something I have yet to receive. I'm still waiting for my first issue to arrive.


title: love this magazine!

text: I adore this magazine! It started me on my journey toward more natural health and I love all the great tips and resources it always contains. It's very motivating. I just wish it was a monthly and maybe a little less pricy. Still, a good deal and an easy to read resource.


title: Boring, repetitive, Men’s Health for cars

text: I read this magazine cover to cover in 5 minutes every time I get it in the mail. It’s hardly ever interesting, and reads like a bunch of rich boy-men trying to prove that they’re better drivers than Lewis Hamilton (or at least that Hamilton is one of their groupies). Childish content.


title: Everytime I cancel my subscription I suffer from acute withdrawal

text:
Subscriber off and on for 30+ years.  Every time I cancel my subscription, the next month has an article that I would love to read.

Grew up in Henrietta and Wichita Falls in the 50's-60's.  Small town girl living in big city Colorado since college.  Reading stories of current and long-ago happenings from my North Texas area, or any area of Texas, is relaxation and a salute to nostalgia.  Some things I remember, most I don't.  Overall, I think this magazine is an example of some very good writing...often, it's writing that could only be done by someone with Texas p'zazz.

The heart of TM, for me, is its articles about obscure local stuff...including long ago stories about small towns,  unknown or well known incidents or people...perhaps with a new twist.  Punctuated with over-the-top advertising and flamboyant articles of excess.  A nice contrast, in my opinion.  The cover articles are sometimes good, sometimes blah.  But...even the articles that aren't particularly to my taste often offer the opportunity to further educate myself about humanity.  I think of TM as the Texas Vanity Fair...often very good writing with stories that make me think.

Let's face it, Texas is so big and diverse, someone could tell a really good, original Texas tale - feature article or small story - to infinity.  Think Joan Robinson Hill,  or the ride crash at the Texas State Fair,  or from August 2010 TM:  Writing Life/John Graves "...the bard of Glen Rose's legacy is written in stones as well as words".  This is what I'm counting on as I renew my subscription for the umpteenth time.


title: What happened ???

text: Mag was real diverse, but now they've gone BLM too.. cancelling my subscription.


title: my dad loves these

text: my dad asked me to order them for him and he loves every issue


title: Top Gun of all gun magazines!!!!!!!!!!

text: For anyone into guns this is the magazine to read. It has all the most recent articles on new firearms and ammo.


title: Set a reminder about your order

text: The magazine is perfect.  It just took so long to come . I forgot i ordered it.


title: i am a big fan of this magazine.

text: I am not a police officer. However, i am working on becoming a one. This magazine has many great articles every month. my only problem is i sometime read them online before i get the paper copy.


title: It started off with one magaize per month...

text: When you buy a 12 month, 12 magazines subscription you expect that. It started off that way.. now I'm getting magazines with the (example) February- March tag on them.. 2 months and one magazine.... what a rip off... if you wanted free money you just should have asked me for it.. I cannot describe how let down I am by your corporation.. I would not recommended this purchase.......

text: sunset used to be my favorite magazine. the content is pretty weak now.

text: For knowledge in custom boat


title: Five Stars

text: A great price for a good magizine


title: Forget the rest, this is the best...

text: I've been a PC user and builder for more years than I care to admit. This is THE ONLY RESOURCE worth reading.  The other big names, who I will not mention, but you know them, are hopelessly  biased by big advertizers.  I find them of little use, for that reason and because they simply lack substance.  Maximum PC reviews the latest and greatest equipment and software, and does it in language we can all understand.  PC Upgrade is also a good publication.  It provides examples of systems you can build with step by step instructions on how to do it.


title: New Yorker Magazine Delivers

text: You simply cannot find a contemporary American magazine that delivers a better and more satisfying combination of political insight, current events, humor and arts. Despite its name, the magazine is not Manhattan-centered. Despite its image, it is not a stodgy relic from another generation but very current and very topical. Try it. Skip straight to Talk of the Town and you will be hooked.


title: Great magazine to read in the bathtub.

text: It is the same trash that I used to read in the check out line. I thought I'd get a subscription to have it home while I was on maternity leave.  Since I don't know who half of the reality "stars" are now, it is not as good as I thought it would be but that is who the magazines have to write about these days.


title: What Happened, Wired?

text: This used to be a technology magazine.  Now it's a mouthpiece for the extreme left.  No thanks.


title: I enjoy reading about projects and products useful around the home ...

text: Given I am a DIY'er both in spirit, mind and sometimes body, I enjoy reading about projects and products useful around the home and garden and this is just the right read for both.


title: Enduring and Good!

text:
The best news and information magazine ever in German language of course. I wish there was a way where one could read it translated into English. Maybe there  is on the web. Then my husband could read it also.
I enjoy many detailed reports and columns. Not as partisan as American publications are. And there is a bit of everything in this periodical.
Would highly recommend.


title: Not completely useless even though it promotes its own brand of supplements

text: As many reviewers have noted, virtually all articles suggest taking a supplement that Life Extension sells.  (Personally, I do not believe in supplements).  But every once in a while, they have a serious article that is actually helpful and does not involve shilling.  For example, they had a great article on avoiding advanced glycation end-products by avoiding high-temperature cooking and foods high in AGEs.  I have subscribed for one year and that is the only article that really helped me, but it helped me a lot.


title: Five Stars

text: Great price for this excellent magazine.


title: Magazine for the female rider.

text: Good articles and advertisements.


title: My favorite home and garden magazine!

text: This has to be the best home and garden magazine! I love all the ideas in the magazine and I love that it's regional to my part of the country! Love all the great local places to visit and all the local gardening tips!


title: Handyman Magazine

text: Both my husband and I really like this magazine.  We are not total do-it-yourselvers but this magazine makes it easy.  We have also used it to guide our handyman when he get stumped.  We really like the product reviews and the hints from readers.


title: Food Babe followers go away.

text: Food Babe, Vani Hari has no place in a health magazine. She's neither a professional nor a scientist. I also found your corporate conspiracy post insulting.

title: Monthly subscription? Try 2 Months, 5 issus

text: I love these for kids.  They are the perfect size with interesting and educational articles to keep them reading valuable material.  I got this for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas because it was a better alternative than a toy getting played with once or twice and she LOVES reading.  Well, my first subscription was supposed to arrive late February but suddenly I have 4 out of the 6 month subscription and February isn't even over. I also need to mention that I received a December issue in the second shipment, so it was out of order. Not a huge deal, but what the heck?<br />Part of the fun of a subscription is looking forward to something coming in the mail for you each month, and this FAILED big time.  I was originally tempted to ad another 6 months on if I can still get it for a decent price, but if it's going to come sporadic like it did this time, I'm not interested.


title: Don’t trust it

text: Dislike! -400% I was informed 3 months after my initial order that it might take some time. Another 2 months go by and I got a code to read online, no paper copies will be sent out. My code doesn’t work..


title: Five Stars

text: My grandkids love it.


title: There is something in this magazine for Everyone!

text:
I've been buying this for many years, and I always read it cover to cover. This magazine is stuffed full of helpful information; interesting stories and funny true experiences.

Over the years, some things  have changed: number of issues a year, regular contributers and even the kind of paper used; however, the quality of the stories has remained good.  It's still one of the magazines I always renew and the size makes it perfect to tuck into a purse for moments when I'm waiting somewhere.

I'm thrilled that Amazon makes it super easy to buy magazines.


title: Two Stars

text: Really for westerners which I am not


title: still not so good

text:
Glamour exhibits its predatory posture vis-a-vis the consumer in at least two ways.
A good fashion publication informs, delights, and guides consumers who enjoy acting in this area (being fashionable).
The Glamour on-line site links its return arrow to a back-to-site circuit, actively ruining a consumer's efforts to get general information. That's acting in bad faith. Why be "punished" opening a site?
As a general rule, Glamore's occasional pieces of substance are at strong angles to its relentless sales pitch--always closing, closing, closing. Indeed, as a document of the fashion world, Glamour seems too often to suggest the old, dreary example--if its expensive--over the new, novel, more innocative example.
In general, Glamour is like cooking with butter but without the benefit of the flavor, while keeping the calories.

title: Missing Issues?

text:
I subscribed to this publication in August of 2020 through Amazon. So far,
I have only received only one of the six issues labeled December, 2020.
What happened to the rest of the subscription?


title: Don't waste your time on this!

text: I ordered this magzine two-months ago, but nothing has showed up even today. Do you want to wait longer?


title: Only received 1 issue

text: I received only one issue that makes it impossible to give a good review


title: Educational!

text: Great magazine! Children really look forward to getting it.


title: Five Stars

text: Lots of instant information and several extended articles. All very well written


title: Food and Wine

text: I gave this magazine as a Christmas gift. Upon checking the status of the order, it should begin to arrive at my daughter's house on or before February 17.  Since I ordered it in the middle of November, I am a little disappointed that it has taken this long for her to get the first issue.  If and when she get the magazine, I would be happy to have her review this magazine.  Thank you.  Lorraine Minto (buyer) not subscriber.


title: Conveniene in cooking

text:
Cooking Light recipes are tasty, low calorie, and

and are quick and easy to prepare. They are perfect for my busy life.


title: Outstanding photos and product reviews.

text: Interesting articles along with great photos. A treat on every page even those of advertisers. A real bargain.


title: Rich and Engaging Content

text: I want sure if these would have enough content to engage my son. However, we actual got numerous reading sessions and even his old parents learned a few things. Rich articles and content aimed at a range of readers/ages make this a win.


title: Good Resource

text: This is a great resource for information which is about as even-handed as any news magazine and it covers lots of stories the rest of the mainstream press hasn't found yet.


title: A Real Surprise!

text:
MaximumPC wasn't my choice. It was sent to me uninvited to complete a subscription I had for a magazine that went defunct. On top of that, I have only a passing interest in PC's; I am certainly not a technician, nor am I an avid gamer. To complete the disconnect, I am 59 years old. With that background, you might be surprised to learn that I look forward to receiving each issue. So was I.
It's hard to put a finger on what makes this magazine so appealing to someone like me.  First I like the style.  Other reviewrs have described it as edgy, but I think of it as fun and accessible.  I have ever read any other PC book or magazine that I would describe as anything even close to fun, but this one definately is.  Secondly, it has fascinating hardware articles that are incredibly clear and understandable.  I have learned more about video cards, memory types, and processors than I ever thought I would want to learn, all while being entertained.  I have to admit that the article on building your own super PC made me want to do just that, although I would opt for the budget version, which they also included in the article. Finally, the software reviews are first class, honest, and hardhitting.  They are written by avid, unabashed gamers, and they are not shy about calling a toad a toad.  I have used their reviews to buy christmas and birthday gifts and have never been disappointed.
This magazine is one of those rare combinations of information and entertainment.  I read it cover to cover each month, usually smiling most of the way.  Needless to say, I renewed my subscription.


title: Ships Monthly

text: Ships Monthly as the title indicates is a monthly magazine devoted to ships and shipping, both contemporary and historical.  It is publsihed in the U.K. where the hobby of shipspotting, ship photography and historical research on ships is far more advanced than in the U.S.  Given its British and continental audience, the magazine is oriented to the U.K. and western Europe.  A typical issue will have the latest news on ferries (quite a popular subject in the U.K.), waterfront news, cruise ships, cargo ships, naval vessels and tugs.  Following those pages, illustrated with color photos, there is usually a feature on ships of the past with an emphasis on passenger liners.  There is often an article or two on naval issues, both historical and contemporary.  Sometimes there is a very useful and long article on a major port with an emphasis on where one may access the water and take photographs.  There usually is an article about some aspect of contemporary shipping.  Rounding out the issue are regular columns including an interview with a ship's captain, historical photos, inquiries, letters, and the like.  Also quite useful to this reviewer are the numerous advertisements from publishers and retailers of maritime books--most of the books advertised are not listed on Amazon. Despite the expense to those of us in the U.S., this magazine is HIGHLY recommend for anyone that has a serious and deep interest in shipping, both past and present.  The British and European emphasis can be irritating and your favorite subject might not be included, but there is a complete void of this genre of magazine in the U.S. Highly recommended by this review who is admittedly a very hardcore ship fan--I would not want to be without it.  If you are merely curious about shipping you may want to stick with the internet (such as [...] and [...] if you are a certified ship addict then Ships Monthly is for you.

title: Missing Pages!!!

text:
I have always loved this magazine, so when my parents finally decided to order this for me, I was thrilled!

However, when I received it, I was a bit disappointed. There was no plastic cover or anything around it, and it looked like someone had tried to fold it in half. Nevertheless, I grabbed it out of the mailbox and plopped down on the couch to start reading.

It was exactly what I expected. Just a few beauty tips, Q&A's with the famous star/starlet on the cover, and some contests for tickets and such. However, a few minutes after I started reading, I noticed a corner sticking out of the middle of the magazine. I flipped to the page with the rip, and noticed that it had been torn out of a corner of the magazine. I flipped through it several times, but I could not find the torn page.

I read the back of the torn corner and it had hair tips on it, so I flipped to the table of contents, where it told me hair tips were on page 132. I looked for page 132. It wasn't there, along with five other pages that should have been.

It is outrageous that this company would not include five pages (that I know of!) in this magazine. I will not be buying from them again.


title: The  BEST EVER  MAGAZINE  with great advice & ideas!!!

text: This magazine was very informative, interesting and had great ideas, suggestions and advice for children. I am so glad i ordered this and i will continue receiving this magazine.  This is worth every penny paid.  I am certain you will think the same after receiving you first copy.  A FIVE STAR MAGAZINE*****


title: I have been a SA subscriber since 1953, always paper. I love the magazine.

text: I want to try the digital format, but I can't figure out how to get it on my kindle reader.


title: Was I fooled; CNN for the latte crowd

text:
Was intrigued by the Dec 2019 cover about "How to Stop a Civil War'....expected intelligent analysis, maybe get an insight or two. The FIRST published words in the magazine: "The 45th president of the United States is uniquely unfit for office and poses a multifaceted threat...."(p8). Good start for intelligent discussion of issues [sarcasm].  Ponder these gems elsewhere:
P48, talking of political/cultural 'realignment:'. "...the political right hardens, turning against the democratic process." (I guess the Left is Nerf-foam flexible, no 'Harry Reid nuclear option' or judge shopping THERE, right? Like we spent yrs trying to frame a Democratic president?)
P.49: comparison to Nazi Germany (you KNEW it was coming)
P47: complaining that "In Wisconsin last year, Democrats won 53 percent of the votes cast in state legislative races but just 36 percent of the seats."  So a heavily monolithic liberal  district victory should 'bleed' votes into another district? This begs the analogy that "we should be declared the winner! We scored TEN RUNS in ONE inning!"
P.53: "...the modern economy works well for cities and badly for the countryside."  "Democratic strongholds are thriving" (uh, like Chicago, St Louis, Memphis, Oakland, Philadelphia?)....says Trump is a symptom of "poor political hygiene." All this overarching Marxism to lead you to their overarching point that "economic distress activates prejudice." (So THAT'S how they prove it).
P.53: "If you take the 10 richest states, nine went for Hillary Clinton." Oh, back to the 'smelly WalMart shoppers' thing. Wow, now THESE are facts that help explain EVERYTHING [sarcasm off]. (Guess it's not supposed to occur to anyone that the wealth in those richest states is not uniform....that they have the same problem with crime, poverty, homelessness regardless...and that the REAL map of COUNTY voting tells a more practical story.)
I could go on. I'm not criticizing for an opinion I disagree with, but Atlantic's are just assertions leading toward a pre-ordained conclusion, 'piling on' for the mob, big over generalizations that WE aren't allowed to make about other groups.  Definitely a cut above your typical liberal metro daily rag. But it's clear, the intelligentsia here still doesn't 'get' the Trump phenomenon, accepts no blame for Democratic balkanization and pandering to demographics or Obama extremism, though several DID say Trump was not the problem but the symptom. Embarassed to say I paid $8.99 thinking I was getting insight to ponder from deeper thinkers.


title: ...from ArtsyFartsy News, September 2008

text:
In my opinion, when it comes to knowing the heart beat of American painters, no publication comes close to the Open Studio Press' "New American Paintings." Published six times a year, it's a juried exhibition in print. Each competition is cataloged in a regional volume of New American Paintings: Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic, Southern, Midwestern, Western and Pacific Coast and presents the work of roughly 40 painters. Featured artists are selected on the basis of artistic merit by one juror and receive four pages of their work, bio and artist statement for free. Finalists are either over-the-top technical executionists or fresh, original, new visionaries in our field of painters. Go to their website to find out how to apply.

I have been a subscriber for ten years and have saved all by issues. When my copy arrives in the mail, it's like receiving a birthday present!

You can either subscribe annually ($89 for six editions) or pick up single copies at popular book stores for $20.


title: What a Purchase!!!

text: What a great purchase!!!!Very up date for the MODERN MIND!!--Don't miss a single issue.  Better than any text message ever.


title: Tv Guide

text: I had accidently order a different guide. Think it was weekly guide had day time listings.  The print was much Smaller and it was no use to me.<br />At least I can read this


title: A once great magazine takes its last breath.

text: Used to bea great magazine when it was weekly.  Then it became bi-weekly.  Now it’s monthly.  So with all the major sports leagues shut down and no Olympics, what is left to cover corn hole?  Marble racing?  Cliff diving. Sorry, not for me.  This magazine can’t last.  Sorry Captain, time to abandon ship.


title: Superb

text: The only magazine I read from cover to cover. Articles are well thought out and developed. Topics center on  technology in the context of biology, science, business and culture. Even non-technically inclined people will enjoy reading this.


title: Business Week is hiring journalism school grads

text: And is leaning more to the left with every issue.  This very week, 25 JUL 2011, the magazine opens with a piece by Michael Kinsley, adducing liberal clap-trap about the debt-ceiling situation.  I see a bit of left-slant in most of the features... writers writing about the businesses that fuel American commerce, but always with a degree of disdain or antagonism.  Biting the hands that feed them... and feed our nation.  I'm going to let my subscription lapse, when it runs out.


title: No qualms.

text: Excellent new science magazine.


title: Great magazine!

text: Have subscribed to Popular Science for sixty years. Sorry it had to go quarterly. Magazine greatly improved.


title: 3 year old LOVES it

text: My niece LOVES this magazine. She's super excited when it arrives in the mail. Her parents said they have to read it cover to cover every day until the next one comes.


title: Five Stars

text: Great ideas for home décor!


title: Seventeen is not just another stupid mag for teens

text: I found this magazine because one of my favorite actresses was on it- I know, sallow sorta-. I bought this magazine pretty much because she was on it. I now understand this is an amazing magazine. It focuses on real problems for teenage girls from the ages of 13-20. It has real stories, stuff about the celebrities and how we can learn from them, and some fashion. It has a great mixture, which makes for a great magazine. With it's realistic topics and amazing fashion- which it affordable! - It makes for a great magazine to just sit down and read for advice on many things girls need some help on. I think this is a very well rounded magazine with hope for others out there!


title: Girls's Life = Real Life!!

text:
I think this is a very awesome mag. It was a lot about real life and what's going on in a every day girls life. It gives pre-teens and teenagers real tips on life/boys/your body.

 If anyone needs to read some advice, Carol's section is also very helpful. They also have stories about real girls. One story was about a teenager with a real-life problem, Bulimia. She talks about how long it took her to get over the disease. If anyone wants to read this mag, I assure you it is awesome. They mag is very down to earth!! Overall, it's the best magazine out there of teenage girls!


title: An A+ Academic Journal

text:
Twice every year I look forwards to this fine scholarly journal. I've been a regular subscriber for some years now, and I have yet to be disappointed by an issue. It inevitably arrives full of carefully researched, well-written, and interesting articles that explore the great varieties of Japanese religion from a great variety of angles--and along the way one will find all kinds of fascinating new details and illuminating perspectives and approaches. Many of the articles in question eventually turn out to have been rather pivotal or at least influential, and it's not unusual at all to see those that you read here first later being cited in full-scale monographs on Japanese religion, culture, or history. It's always nice when this happens, of course, but the articles stand on their own in exploring this varied, infinitely complex, and endlessly fascinating phenomenon on a biannual basis. The level is academic and somewhat specialized, so beginners may want to read some introductory texts and familiarize themselves with the field a bit before making use of this journal, but before long I'm pretty sure they'll find it every bit as useful and enjoyable a resource as I have.

The journal itself is published from Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan. It's in English, though kanji are given for all important terms and Japanese text often provided for relatively short key quoted passages. The first issue of the year is usually full of miscellaneous articles, while the second one usually has a unifying theme (often with guest editors). For instance, the most recent issues to date contain the following, just to give a concrete idea of the journal's usual fare:

Volume 33, Number 1 (2006)

1. "Miscellaneous Musings on Mulasarvastivada Monks: The Mulasarvastivada Vinaya Revival in Tokugawa Japan" by Shayne Clarke

2. "Reconfiguring Ritual Authenticity: The Ordination Traditions of Aristocratic Women in Premodern Japan" by Lori R. Meeks

3. "To Ise at All Costs: Religious and Economic Implications of Early Modern Nukemairi" by Laura Nenzi

4. "In the Service of the Kaihogyo Practitioners of Mt. Hiei: The Stopping-Obstacles Confraternity (Sokusho ko) of Kyoto" by Catherine Ludvik

5. "When Buddhism Became a 'Religion': Religion and Superstition in the Writings of Inoue Enryo" by Jason Ananda Josephson

Plus twelve book reviews.

Volume 33, Number 2 (2006): Varieties of Pure Land Experience

1. Editor's Introduction: Pure Lands in Japanese Religion" by Galen Amstutz and Mark L. Blum

2. "Ise Sankei Mandara and the Image of the Pure Land" by Peter Knecht

3. "Entering the Pure Land: Hanamatsuri and the Okagura Jodo-iri Ritual of Okumikawa" by William Lee

4. "Tourists in Paradise: Writing the Pure Land in Medieval Japanese Fiction" by R. Keller Kimbrough

5. "The Phenomenon of Invoking Fudo for Pure Land Rebirth in Image and Text" by Karen Mack

6. "Sanno Miya Mandara: The Iconography of Pure Land on this Earth" by Meri Arichi

7. "Saidaiji Monks and Esoteric Kami Worship at Ise and Miwa" by Anna Andreeva

8. "Kuroda Toshio (1926-1993) on Jodo Shinshu: Problems in Modern Historiography" by Tomoko Yoshida

Plus two book reviews.


title: Never received a single edition.

title: Excellence

text:
I subscribed to the magazine at the beginning of 07 and have been extremely happy with the consistently high level that each issue attains.  FA consistently brings together under one roof the brightest minds the U.S. has to offer to speak on topics that they are uniquely qualified to speak on.

The magazine is a bipartisan meeting ground for professional thinkers on the right and left, and even when I find myself disagreeing with a particular article I still find those articles to be very well thought out and educational.  The articles that I disagree with I find very challenging and they really help me to challenge and refine my own ideas.  I am a better, more well rounded person for reading this magazine.

This is the best professional journal I have yet come across.  Anyone who is interested where U.S. foreign policy is going and should go needs to be reading Foreign Affairs.


title: Not great

text: Too slanted, poor authoring and just not entertaining.


title: Great Magazine

text: Filled with lots of wonderful articles and ideas of things to do


title: Informative

text: This is really the best magazine for projects!  I loved getting ideals for this!


title: Too Avant-Garde for Me!

text: I enjoy the look of this beautiful magazine.  It has contained some interesting articles, however, at this stage in my life, I just don’t relate or have interest in spending so much time and money to redo my abode.  I’m more of a Better Homes & Garden and Traditional Home kind of woman.  This is a magazine mostly for the Money is Plentiful for my House kind of person….much younger than I.
