title: Where would I be without Wired?

text:
I should start out by saying that I am a hardcore "nerd" but mask it in my daily life as I'm now a father, business owner, etc.

Wired is one of those "mainsteam" nerdy magazines that seems to satisfy my monthly lust for technology, new ideas, and inside information into businesses that I've always wondered "how did they do that?"

I like the magazine because it doesn't try to be something it isn't....it's just consistently good information that keeps me reading month after month.


title: Weak

text: Out of 96 pages 10 of those were full page ads for the same vuse e-cigarette. Rename the magazine to "e-cig lobby talks tech" and you'll probably hit your target audience.


title: Have Not Received Wired!

text: I Have not had the opportunity to read Wired. I have not received it! Where is my order?


title: I can't quit

text: The magazine is good but I cannot cancel them. I have tried but apparently the email address is my old address and they will not accept my new address even though I get messages from them. The magazine is a very good one however we have run out of time to read them and now they are too numerous to try.


title: never arrived

text: Although I love Wired magazine, I have yet to receive any of my subscription through Amazon in the mail.


title: good articles

text: Great magazine. Really interesting array of articles. I bought this for my anthropologist boyfriend who loves computers, technology, and gadgets.


title: I was a subscriber for many years.

text: I used to read this magazine as a youngster in the library, then I became a subscriber for a few years, but in the later years it became very annoying full of ads and most of the articles are politically biased. I just move to a more serious publication.


title: 1 issue in 4 months, save your money.

text: Don't bother scam, only one issue received in 4 months. No help after repeated attempts to fix problem. You've been warned.


title: gift

text: This purchase was a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. So I don't really know what it is like, though he was very excited about getting it and couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail.


title: Great all-around magazine!

text: I started reading WIRED from my school's library. This year I am a different school, so I bought a 1 yr subscription. This magazine is perfect for the discriminating readers who want a little bit of everything. Science is a main part, but is subtlety hidden. Plus you won't feel embarrassed when your friends walk in, like other magazines such as People. Great for guys.


title: Excellent Professional Journal

text: Well written, well informed, and a full panel of scholarly experts. Whether you are a student, scholar, consumer an excellent resource.


title: Great Magazine, Great Info, Great Presentation

text: Wired, defintely one of the best publications related to the technology world. Beautiful format an presentation, writing is excellent, cutting edge, covers a wide array of technology topics. Great publication. Probably the best way to obtain a sneak peak into the future of technology.


title: Dadich

text: What's going on with wired? Been a long time reader. This magazine hasnt been the same since dadich left as chief editor.


title: excellent deal, if i had gotten a copy yet!

text:
I got the incredible surprise of a free year of Wired after making some purchases in Amazon. I was sooo excited, but its been more than a month since i received the offer but no magz in the mail yet.
Thanks for the year subscription i think it is a great way to support the written media, plus this mag is excellent.
Thanks Amazon!


title: Shipping of an International magazine

text:
Sad to see that us oversees readers cannot get this Magazine from Amazon.
Would like to order it though.
Regards
Jakob


title: Excellent Magazine...Cutting Edge!!

text: I love this magazine because it is very informative and accurate.<br />Thanks so much again asking for my opinion ...


title: Get yourself a copy.

text: One of the best forward thinking magazines out there. Innovative layouts and balanced reporting. I've enjoyed every issue.


title: Not the tech mag I thought it was.

text:
I subscribed to this magazine because I am into technology and thought that this would give me insight into new advances, releases, etc. - and because there was a very palatable $8 annual subscription fee. I have received two issues now and have chosen to end my subscription because the effect of receiving each issue is not that I become educated about anything, but rather that I feel brought down a notch after being at the receipt point of an onslaught of politically biased, useless communication. Instead of focusing on the epic advances being made by the likes of Tesla, SpaceX, Google, etc., the magazine engages primarily in the now all-too-common practice of underhandedly (but quite obviously) inventing obscure but apparently heinous problems that are - apparently - attributable to the Trump Administration, or working out intelligent ways to position reality as being detestable and the result of our country's pestiferous republican infection.

In short (but not that short), it is another publication that I do not wish to read due to its breathtaking adherence to a palpable agenda/narrative that pretends that the viewpoint and opinion of half of America's citizens does not matter, and that jamming useless propaganda down our throats is more important than educating us.


title: Always interesting

text: There will always be at least one article of interest in each edition; however I often wish some were longer and more detailed.


title: Hijab is repression of women

text: Hijab is a form of repression of women.  Thinking that you are showing tolerance indicates how naive you are about an ideology that treats women as second class citizens.


title: Gone in 5 or less....’ cause if sucks

text:
What a bunch of crap!  This magazine is a self-congratulatory tribute to the senslessnes of the new Silicon Valley wannabe start-ups.  The reporters are nothing more than hacks hoping that someone will take them in and teach them how to write well.
They are a confused group of people who want to think they’re important, yet  have barely a scant of worthwhile writing  abilities nor tooics.  I will be asking for my refund back from them, as they have ‘marketed’ their subscription plans through the local elementary schools Magazine Subscription Dontation plan {aka bake sale}.  Wanting to support my local friends and neighbors, I signed up for their magazine.  What a waste of effort and resources.

The magazine is neither insightful or thought provokiking.  It is a waste of time for readers, writers, editors and researchers and all else involved.  I give it 5 years until they fold it or sell it.  It’s a ‘c’ rate company at best.

Hint :  Start your job hunting now !


title: One of the best subscriptioni I've made.

text:
I'm not much of a big reader, in fact I really don't like to read. However, a friend of mine suggested that I read this magazine since he and I share a similar interest with electronics. As soon I started to read it, I found myself not putting it down. Eventually, I've read the whole thing which is something that I haven't done in a long time.

If you are into electronics, science, and technology; this is a must read subscription.


title: Just as I remembered

text: Its been a while since i've subscribed to wired magazine.<br />Its just as good as it everwas.


title: Never received

text: I've seen three different Wired issues come and go at the bookstore, and I haven't received a single issue at home. Since Amazon doesn't handle customer service, they bounced me back and forth between them: Conde Naste didn't receive the order, Amazon doesn't have a record of it (except in my order history) and in general the fulfillment process on this purchase has been lacking.


title: Review of Wired

text: Wide breadth of well-written articles; Subscription began relatively quickly.  Overall a very good value.


title: Canceled

text:
Too many meaningless articles about internet fluff. Meant to make you feel like you are "in" the crowd.
Technical errors abound.
Hardware reviews are constantly for things only the 1% can afford or would want.
Insulting, dumb, useless writing much too often.

Occasional interesting article, so two stars, but not worth the subscription.


title: zzzz boring propaganda magazine

text: Tons of Ads, very little content, and what little of it there is, is all propaganda in one shape or form.


title: GREAT MAG

text: Wired is the most enjoyable magazine I have read in years!<br />Great articles, on a large range of subjects, lots of tech product reviews!


title: Its exciting but dont expect great! Only GOOD!

text: The magazine is good, but not great. It is something good to have lying around. I was expecting electronic and gadgets reviews and test but this magazine barely touch the subject.


title: Amazing Magazine!

text: This magazine is by far the most versitile one on the market.  From computers, to murder mysteries, to plastic surgery, to the Muppets, there isn't a topic this magazine won't touch.  Always a good read.  Absolutely recommend this magazine for any reader.


title: Great Magazine but Horrible Subscription

text: I have subscribed to the Wired 4 months ago, first issue they were supposed to send me didn't arrive and it turns out that they have a wrong adress (I don't know how they did manage to take a totally different adress from my amazon account). They have corrected the adress but I didn't receive the second issue. When I tell them about this and ask them to send me the issue they advise me to wait for another month and hope that I receive this time. Cheap price comes with cheap service.


title: WIRED MAG

text:
In Short...  if I were privileged to have one single solitary magazine subscription competing for my time $$$ and attention...  WIRED would be the winner by a landslide.

Tech, Science, Art, Design, Gadgets, Pop Culture...  This Mag is prefect!


title: Wonderful Gift!

text: This subscription was a gift after a purchase on amazon.com. The magazine subscription started about a month after I signed up, and so far it's been great!


title: You must subscribe

text: I've taken Wired for a year and recently renewed. I was surprised at how much fun it is to read. This is not just a computer, techie publication. It is super-informative and may be the funniest magazine ever. I read every page each month. FYI - I'm a middle-aged man. My teen-aged daughter doesn't "get it," but my 22-year-old son loves it. My 79-year-old dad thinks it's OK.


title: Vacuous, But Oh So Glossy!

text: The allure of Wired is entirely beyond me.  My problem with Wired is that it is devoid of content.  In any given issue, the sum information that it provides could neatly be spread onto a low-tech 3x5 index card.  Despite its pretense, Wired offers all of the stimulating substance of an issue of Tiger Beat or an episode of Mamma's Family. The magazine is far more concerned with glossy advertisements and mini-features that barely run over 200 words.  If you actually want articles that delve into a subject with an expertise that is accessible without being alienating, then do not subscribe to this magazine.  All in all, Wired seems to provide nothing more than a means for techno-yuppies to shop for new gadgets, and in that respect it actually does a fantastic job of mirroring the Web itself.


title: Haven't gotten it yet

text: This is a great magizine. But I ordered it on 12/11/2012  and my first issue has not arrived yet. I would hope that it will arrive at my address by the end of the month.<br />Other then all that. The price I snagged it at in the deal of day was great :)


title: I miss wired

text:
*Design*
This magazine is beautiful. I've still got their 2nd issue from way back then and their designs used to be outrageous up until completely unreadable. Fortunately Wired's current design is still (somewhat) cool, but readable. They've won all the prices: that alone is a reason to check it out.
*Content*
Wired is often wrong, very wrong even. Anybody remember "push technology"? (they dedicated a significant part of an issue declaring that the browser your still using was obselete), Wired Fund?. There are many examples where Wired makes *big* mistakes . However, its counter-culture meets business meets high tech stile is unmatched. A visionary that produces a new vision every month can't be right every time. That's why I am taking a subscription again.
Buy a newsstand issue, love it, and get a subscription too.


title: For everyone.

text: My sons enjoy this when home. I'm 67 and it keeps me current.


title: Five Stars

text: Bought this subscription for my grandson.  He loves it  Will renew it


title: Great Magazine

text:
This magazine is a great read - even if you're not a "techie".

It gives you an insight into ideas most people don't see on a day-to-day basis.

I would recommend this purchase.


title: Kindle Please!

text: I absolutely love this magazine, but I would enjoy it even more if I could read it on my Kindle. I recommend it to anyone who likes science, technology, or the person who wants to understand more about those topics.


title: What I want to read?

text: Innovations first!


title: Five Stars

text: What can I say, my grandson and I are techies


title: I don't have anything bad to say.

text:
I find some magazines a little too focused. This gives a good mixture of all things technology. Plenty of humor, but mostly serious writers make it very desirable for me... and the price is awesome!

I really don't have anything bad to say.


title: Definately still a trendsetter.

text: Although the "dot-com" craze has passed, this magazine has less to do with just websites, and more to do with technology (so don't let the title fool you).  They usually have great articles on cutting edge stuff (genetic algorithms, quantam computing...) as well as reviews on lots of awesome tech "toys".  The only drawback I see is that it's a more expensive magazine, but of course if you get a subscription it's far better.


title: Never got it

text:
They never sent it to me .... still havn't seen an issue.

so I'd so my review is not so good

T Arnold


title: Not on Kindle?!

text: I don't know anything about this magazine, but I got a free subscription with an electronics purchase from Amazon.  I would have really been interested in reading this, but due to my disability, it is difficult to read paper magazines.  That's why I was pretty disappointed to see that this isn't available for the Kindle.  Wired magazine, not available on a wireless electronic reading device?  Really?!  That's what I call irony.  Anyway, I'm sure it's a good publication, but they should really reevaluate their media options.


title: Excellent content but terrible customer service

text: I have to start saying my review is based on subscription issues I had, rather than the magazine content, which I think it's excellent. I had an Amazon offer on December 2009 for renewing my Wired one year subscription for $1. After several months of waiting I never got my first issue. I contacted Amazon customer service, they point me to Conde Nast customer service. Conde Nast representative told me to contact back Amazon. I sent an email again complaining about my situation and Conde Nast people changed my delivery address but they refused to extend my subscription. And to make it worse, the delivery address was changed to something totally unexpected and wrong, so the last issues were received by somebody else. Wow! Unacceptable. They have an excellent story for themselves about how companies can become miserably incompetent despite their knowledge about technology. Finally, I wonder if this kind of problems happen when you subscribe through Amazon, since I've been a subscriber for several years, handling everything directly on the Wired's web site, and I never got these annoyances. So who's the one to blame? Amazon? Wired? I don't know, but I do know I would recommend going directly to their web site and make the subscription right there.


title: Meh

text:
Just went through my first new issue of wired. Yeah... whatever. If you are looking for average writing and articles with very little relevance to the real world, Wired is your ticket. I was not impressed by anything I read.
There was an article on how the earth was doomed because of the unstableness of the solar system. Apparently the fact that the day length fluctuates slightly will wreak havoc upon the economy, financial markets, programming, etc. Did anyone at Wired perhaps ponder that human ingenuity might adapt to these problems, if they were even serious problems, which they are not? Some of their other stuff like asteroids hitting the earth were more credible "problems" but it just felt like it was being blown out of proportion (no caveats like... well, there is a .0000000001% chance of this happening, etc). So I'm hard pressed to even trust their writing.
Another of their overhyped articles was the wireless computing was doomed because batery life could not keep up with the growing speed of processors. We apparently as a species need to mount an industry wide crusade to fix this problem. Wireless device users using scaled down versions of the fastest processors is apparently just not an acceptable option. Its like the writers are all tech geeks that sit inside a windowless building all day, without any clue what happens outside. If nobody had laptop computers... the world would not end. I promise.
And damn... I didn't read a single word I needed to lookup in the dictionary. Talk about not pushing the limits of the english language :( My vocabulary is not all that wonderful.
Had another stupid article about all the new booby trapped devices prisons will be using to takedown hostage-takers. As if the government is actually going to disclose any of its interesting stuff to the public. All the stuff they showed, like booby trapped phones, was very ho hum.
... This magazine just plain sucks. Too much advertising, and fluff reading articles. Its like Popular Science or any of your other pseudo techonology/science magazines. There are much worse... but why read anything that is just less worse.


title: Meh

text: I used to love reading my parents subscription to this magazine... but it seems to have been watered down significantly over the last decade. Anymore, after the "gee whiz" factor wears off, I am not left with any real feeling of substance of signficant scientific insight.


title: Great magazine for a great price.

text: I couldn't resist getting 12 issues of this magazine for $5 (there was a coupon code).  Worked out well and the first issue I received was actually a NEW issue and not a previous month's that I could already purchase at the store.


title: Bad

text:
Never got this product..
i hate it.. it was par of the promo and i have got it for free..
I think its very true..
nothing is free in life  ---


title: Informative

text: Cool magazines


title: Can't live without it!

text: I've been an avid reader of Wired for over 7 years now. I was willing to go as far as to pay the exorbitant international subscription rates while I was living overseas in Europe. If you're like me and you like all things digital, you'll love Wired. It's truely rare that a magazine can elicit such keen interest for such a long time, but to this day, I still get excited when I see the latest issue on the newstands or when it arrives in the mail.


title: Best Magazine Ever.

text: By far the most interesting magazine I've ever read. Cover to cover without a problem.


title: Political rag

text: As a kid who went on to become a Systems Engineer, I absolutely loved Wired. It was full of cool new technology, the latest breakthroughs, and speculation on the future of tech. Now it is nothing but biased political pieces. Half the articles are tangentially related to tech, the other half aren't related at all. Very disappointing to see what Wired has become.


title: Wired

text: One of the best magazine about technology


title: Wired hooks you up

text: Great articles that you cannot find anywhere else. I also use the photographs as mini posters. THis is an informative and fun magazine.


title: Very confusing to get digital access

text:
Absolutely impossible to figure how to actually read the magazine on your Kindle.  Wired no longer offers an Android App.  Trying to get access to wired.com as a subscriber is impossible.

Too many competing eco systems that dont talk to each other.


title: Get wired!

text:
I've always been a fan of Wired, and when Amazon told me that I could get it for free (I believe it was when I purchased my Flip Video), I jumped on it! Wired is an excellent magazine that anyone can enjoy, I just wish I could enjoy it on my Nook!

At such a low price, it's ridiculous not to get it! Any techie, or even non-techies will enjoy this magazine!


title: the technokogu of the future

text: Although I like very much the monthly magazine I widpsh it was more focused on the gadgets coming out,very diversifited. It can teach you always new suvject


title: Still on the money

text: Wired is where its at. Period.


title: A Keeper

text: In my opinion, one of the best gauges for the quality of a magazine is the length of time it remains on your shelf after it has been delivered.  Old issues of Bon Appetit will stay with you for years.  The recipes are that good.<br />As others have noted, the pictures and feature writing aren't the best you'll see, but the recipes are both simple and memorable.  Each issue will put a couple (at least) of big guns in your culinary arsenal.


title: A joy to read

text:
I remember first reading the New Yorker while a freshman in college.  It was more than a little intimidating to read a magazine that seemed to challenge the reader with so much great fiction and nonfiction.  This is, in short, one of the best literary magazines in print.

Why four stars?  The cartoons are not funny.  I know this seems petty, but the magazine seems to congratulate itself on a regular basis on the witty cartoons featured throughout each issue.  They just try to darned hard to be witty and clever.  The result is something like a dry exercise in humor without the actual laugh.


title: This husband is no fan

text:
This publication is fairly representative of a Martha Stewart universe that is, in my opinion, the heart of evil in America. Martha shares her thoughts on having the finest in hand crafted furniture, culinary delights and entertaining tips. She fails to point out that these labor intensive recipes, decorating tips and party plans are difficult if not impossible to acheive by the modern working woman without the benefit of paid labor. She holds out a standard less than realistic to most families and seems to strive to make women who don't reach her ideal feel deeply guilty.

Why not one star? Well, my wife pointed out this recipe for chestnut stuffing in her last issue that was quite good......curse her.


title: Required reading for the internet generation

text:
You know you have arrived as a publication when you've been spoofed on The Simpsons.  Want to learn about the FBIs Carnivore, the hottest new PDA or get a sneak peek at the future of technolgy?  Then Wired is the place to go.

Wired has set the standard for internet related publications and has even helped give voice to several important internet political organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation.  Of course you can read Wired online, but there is just something about a real magazine with all the slick glossy ads.  Very user friendly.


Please, few weeks I sed I dont want to renew the subscription to Wired magazine!!


Can't link the subscription and actually get what I paid for. The customer service does not reply. Can't recommend.


title: Used to be a great magazine

text: I was a subscriber to Wired for several years. It gave us great stories about technology and its effects on society. Now this magazine is just another left-biased magazine, more about politics than anything else. Not sure who is their target audience now, but it’s not for me anymore.


title: Not the target audience, but still can't get enough of WIRED

text:
I realize I am not the target audience for this magazine since I am not a male and I don't work in a technical field (How do I know WIRED'S audience, you ask? Just look at the ads, especially in the back), but still, I can't get enough of this magazine.

The section that dissects common products (usually food) to reveal their ingredients is both shocking...and a great dieting tool. I might never eat cool whip again.


title: Current info

text: Excellent information; pertinently applicable


title: TRUTH IN ADVERTISING‼‼❓

text: You advertised that the digital version automatically comes with the hard copy‼ NOT SO.


title: I Love This Magazine

text:
Do you like anything?  Chances are WIRED will cover it.  If you enjoy nothing, it's in there too! (Ketel One Ad)

For the guy who loves gadgets and hot off the press electronics...this mags for you.

For the woman who enjoys seeing new kitchen appliances or time saving devices such as the Roomba...ask your husband to order this magazine.


title: Offensive advertisement allowed by VUSE/ALTO vaping

text:
I was just beginning to enjoy the articles and news in WIRED, however I was offended by the overwhelming ads by VUSE/ALTO  in this last issue Jan 2019 - the message is duplicitous and offensive. Twelve plus pages of warning about nicotine but providing the "perfect puff" . Vaping companies want to go into schools to talk about the hazards of smoking and nicotine but promote vaping!??? In my opinion they are tying to lock in the next generation to be addicted to nicotine at much higher levels by trying to make them look sophisticated.
Please promote a balance with your articles and if you want to be open with ads, please balance them out with articles that show the facts and true hazards or refuse to accept them or allow them to be "in your face" throughout the magazine. It looks like you sold out.
Please cancel my subscription,


title: Great for anyone.

text: As a graphic designer I use all diffrent kinds of technology but anyone can enjoy this magazine.  Even if I don't buy the newest gadgets every month I still enjoy the adds ( for the way they are laid out and visual appeal) and the articles are very indepth and well writen.  I will read it from cover to cover right after I get my copy then go back and read it again and once I know the articles by heart I use the layout and design inside as insperation for my work.  Anyone that is interested in technology will not regret getting this magazine.


title: Most importantly it's FREE

text: Not only is this magazine all the way bias it's a free magazine. Why pay for it?


title: great stuff.

text: I've been reading wired since i was in middle school and prio to that i was reading popular science. Now its just wired popular sicence i found often to be laging behind in vision and gadget watch vs wired. They are diffrent publications yes but not with out their simulartiys. Wired is also a lot more fun.


title: Always a treat.

text: All you need to know with your finger on the pulse of tech.


title: my dads christmas present

text: my dad is a total technology geek, he asked for a subscription for this magazine for christmas so i got it for him. when he got his first issue he was ecstatic. thank you wired magazine for giving my dad the great feeling of anticipation between issues. and for giving him something to read that wont make him bored.


title: too much advertistements

text: The issue (first one) I got was completely filled with advertisements you had to literally hunt for content.


title: Get your dose of Technological Propaganda

text: Do you know why a yearly subscription is only $5? This magazine doesn't make a profit because it's pure propaganda


title: The so-called "Economist" is the CCP's biggest cheerleader

text: promotes global socialism AKA globalization and myths such as "free trade". The so-called "Economist", has a major bias against American sovereignty and therefore appears to be on the left politically.


title: 5 Months and no magazine

text: I'm frustrated, waiting since Jan 27 for my subscription. I've communicated through email and was given  a false sense of security that the magazine would be sent. And yet nothing. Not happy.


title: Best Technology Magazine

text: I had subscribed to popular science and popular mechanics for years before picking up Wired and now I'll never go back. It's combination of ground-breaking articles, wit and style really set it apart. There isn't an issue I don't read cover to cover.


title: Four Stars

text: love the magazine, but i don't get all my issues delivered to my PO box.


title: tech background not necessary to enjoy

text: You don't have to have a Ph.D. in computers, math, or engineering in order to enjoy this magazine:  I don't possess such credentials, and I think Wired is outrageously good.  The appeal of Wired is information on cutting-edge technology, delivered in a highly visual, understandable, and often entertaining format.  A subtle sense of humor pervades the magazine with features such as "Return to Sender" - a contest in which Wired readers attempt to send the weirdest possible item in the mail to the magazine's San Francisco headquarters; or "Japanese Schoolgirl Watch" - which tracks the latest trendy gadgets favored by one of the world's most trend-obsessed demographic groups.  Wired endlessly scrutinizes and ponders on the intersection of technology, humans, and society in its terrific articles.  The articles are always interesting, and well-written, with topics such as artificial sight research, or the shenanigans of MIT's Blackjack Team in Las Vegas (9/02 issue); parents of extremely ill children, united via the Internet in their challenges to the medical industry (9/01); or a profile of the Ibot Transporter "inventrepreneur," Dean Kamen (9/00).  Wired is a beautifully presented, outstanding magazine.  Try one issue - you might get hooked!


title: Vogue is in a league of its own

text: As Vogue documents the hottest looks from the world's best designers, the entire fashion industry holds its breath in anticipation- then scrambles to interpret what Vogue dictates:  the magazine is that influential.  If you're looking for good, practical advice on cosmetics or picking the right style swimsuit for your body type, you're better off with Glamour or Marie Claire.  What you'll find in Vogue is not really "practical" but rather high falutin', haute couture kind of stuff.  Compared to other popular women's magazines, what distinguishes Vogue from the rest is how it successfully situates the fashion/beauty business as a vital, viable and artistic component of culture and society.  So you're not just getting fashion layouts to look at, but also great articles on writers, architects, actors, art exhibits, and so on.  Most everything pictured in Vogue is of course, out of the average person's price range, and the overall magazine's tone makes no apologies for this snobbery.  But I still think it's a beautiful magazine to look at for its artistic vision, and for well-written articles on culture.


title: My favorite technology publication.

text: I wait patiently for each release of Wired, it is my bible. Praise technology, praise Wired.


title: Nothing better than Wired

text: It's a Christmas gift for my brother who is always hard to find for.  He doesn't want much but loves knowledge.


title: Excellent publication

text: Wired always has an audience in our family. It never fails to keep us abreast of what's new in technology.


title: every copy of Wired that you read makes you smarter

text:
the best magazine in the entire world. they have everything that any human could ever ask for! there is no need for you to go and read reviews about it, just get it.

NOTE!!! BEWARE!

i'm not going to sugar coat it for you. this magazine is for smart people. you may not enjoy it or like it at all if Tech Ninja stuff is not your thing, or if you got/get bad grades in science.

-The KbloodyK


title: Worth the price!

text: This was a gift for my son. He loves to program  and code. He was excited to get it!


title: Too quick to judge, but I don't think so

text: I have only received one issue of Wired, but could find no reason to think I will like it in the future. I did read most of the articles and browse the regular features and could find nothing with any redeeming qualities, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo commentaries and opinions that could have been on an average or worse blog site. I am happy that the subscription was free with a camera purchase, but I still may cancel it.


title: WIRED

text: "Wired" magazine was Great, informative and current...I look forward to each and every issue.  It is a definite winner! I love it.


title: Not able to download the last issue

text: Wired has worked fine until the April 2013 issue. It stopped downloading about half way and now it says the file is missing and will not continue to download. I can download past issues with no problems.


title: Great reading

text: Excellent content and a great source for ideas.


title: My First Collage...

text: ...was produced from the pages of this magazine. I was a 10 year-old midwesterner just returning home from my first visit to relatives living in Newport Beach, CA with a copy of Surfing in my hands. Unable to persuade my parents to relocate and forced to buy a skateboard rather than a surfboard, I was left only with this magazine to satisfy my desire to be on the beach and in the water. And satisfy it has! All of these years later, I still pour over the pictures and read about the lifestyles these "dudes". Spicoli lives.


title: Interesting Technology Inside

text: Despite the dot.com implosion and tech industry chaos reverberating throughout Silcon Valley/Alley, Wired nontheless continues to publish excellent articles on important technological breakthroughs around the world. Why would I associate Wired with NASDAQ hysteria? Well, around the same time Startup.com was being filmed, I felt the magazine was focusing too heavily on the Horatio Algers of the world, placing more importance on the players than the technology. Alas, all good things come to an end and we return to our roots, which for Wired, was thankfully a place where interesting technology matters. I've renewed my subscription 4 times now, and will continue to do so.

I was just about to purchase this item but then I checked up on Magazine Express. Looks like they are nothing but shysters. Stay away.

title: Jumped the shark.

text:
This magazine used to be a playground for billionaire boys and their extravagant toys.  Once they began venturing into eco-politics (Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green) they entered an arena that is ill suited for jock humor and contrarian jibes.  Telling folks to keep their SUV's and embrace the nukes while snarkilly saying "Screw the Spotted Owl" is poor taste at the very best, and in these times of economic crisis, really just point to the "consume more" mentality that got us into our present situation of global recession.

I do like this magazine for the reviews they print on the latest gadgets and computer equipment, but they often present a few subjects to review with big pictures and tight three sentence blurbs with a few pros and cons about the device.  I find that other publications can do a much better job reviewing technology far better and don't push a bunch of pre-processed Kulture on you.

I had hoped that Wired would fill the gap that Omni magazine had left when it folded up in 1996, but that would require the editors to get over how cool they think they are.  They seem to be more interested in catering to the cynical, high-fiving, light beer drinking crowd, as they sense that the "geek" social movement is going more mainstream and frat-boy approved.

With that in mind, I'll pass on renewing my subscription.


title: the best

text: I enjoy and have enjoyed this magazine for close to 10 years.<br />extremely comprehensive balancing pop culture and tech all in a way that makes the reading enjoyable and informative.


title: GREAT!

text: My teenage boys are computer geeks and they love this magazine.  They always look forward to it coming in the mail.  They even use it for homework assignments.  Even my 19 year old son who is in college uses it for homework. He is majoring in the 'MultiMedia' field.  His school recommended it.  It's full of great information and wonderful graphics.  It's a great value when you subscribe yearly too.


title: Great Magizine

text: This is a very good magizine It has pretty much every thing in it.I reccomend subscribing to it. It is alot cheaper that way.


title: No app for Android

text:
Wired magazine itself is an amazing work. I've learned more from wired than I thought possible.
I love the in depth reporting of topics other publications wouldn't think to publish. Wired creates wonderful pieces that inspire me to learn more about new topics. Recently I've enjoyed articles about a/b testing, modular skyscrapers, and the history of nerf guns!

I gave this review 1 star because there is no android app despite the demand. Wired readers are tech savy, why isn't Conde Nast?
I've written several emails to the subscription department only to receive a form letter with no timeline or plan for an android app.
To add insult to injury, Wired sends emails every few months to remind me that I can view the recent edition on ipad, kindle fire, and nook.


title: made a great gift

text: I bought this as a gift for my adult brother, you know the kind of gift you'd love to get but never buy yourself. Well he absolutely loved it. He raved about the Demo CD and went on and on about all the cool features. He talked about how you get points just for watching the demos that can be traded for items. He loved the magazine for tips and articles. I ordered it for Christmas which means it wouldn't arrive until Feburary, but surprisingly he has already received his first issue (in January). Amazon had a neat feature that you can print out the "subcription to come" gift card (or email is option).  I chose the print out because I wanted something under his tree. Doing it through email seemed like I thought of it last minute. But really this was the perfect gift for XBox 360 gamers and he has already said he would like his next christmas gift to be another subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: ok


title: Great travel ideas

text: The only thing I don't like about this mag is the fact that you are always flipping to the back to read the rest of the article. Great travel ideas.


title: Popular Science Mag

text: This magazine I have been wanting for a long time. It is simple , fun and so interesting to read. Enjoyable and informative for even the youngest future scientist or not. Also could not beat the price for what Amazon had listed.


title: Four Stars

text: lots of good information

title: Beware the title

text:
From the title of this magazine, one would expect to see how consumer electronics are being integrated into our everyday lives. I expected Martha Stewart Living cum Stereo Review. But that is not what one gets here. What one gets is a drier version of Stereo Review that covers cell phones, computers, and other wired and wireless technologies along with stereos.

Each issue of the magazine highlights several consumer electronic products. An article includes the latest innovations for a given product and compares the pros and cons of the different features of products in that group. That article is then followed by tip sheets on how to maximize the use of specific, selected name-brand products in that area.

By example, the March 2005 issue has an overview article on wireless telephones that compares, in general terms, the different features available. Seven specific phone models are then featured individually with how-to instructions on maximizing the features.

This magazine might be useful for readers seeking specific information for given products and models, but the casual reader will likely find it off-target and not applicable. The writing style is for the average consumer and thus lacks the depth to excite die-hard electronics wizards who seek the specs and details they seek.

Overall, this magazine needs an overhaul. It's title is terribly misleading as there is scant discussion of lifestyle. Its format and layout look very much like a consumer catalog. I almost threw it away without opening it. There is likely a market for much of the information provided in this magazine, but here it is very unfocused. Perhaps a series of special issues or books may be better vehicles to provide this information.


title: For the serious golfer

text:
Golf tips magazine is one of the most aptly titled magazines available today. It is chock full of heavily-illustrated exercises and other tips for serious golfers to improve their games.
There are a number of golf magazines on the newstand today. Most of them rely on a lifestyle format relying more heavily on lifestyle-type stories about today's hot golfers and the courses they play. Most of them include a brief game tip or two but seem aimed at the casual duffer.
Golf Tips, on the other hand, features almost nothing but heavily illustrated tips on improving one's swing, eliminating mistakes and putting better. It also is heavily loaded with features on the latest equipment technology. Each issue also seems to feature an article on the technical aspects of a selected major golf course. The articles are written with terminology that serious golfers will understand but that may confuse the weekend player. Judging by the amount of advertising in its early issues, this magazine also appears to be financially healthy.
If a reader wants to read about the PGA Tour's superstars, this magazine is not for him/her. But if s/he plans to be one of those superstars, Golf Tips is a good match.


title: While you are stuck inside the office...

text: Good tips to read about when you do not have time to get out on the course!


title: Still Haven't Received Magazine After Two Months

text: Ordering and paying for a Golf Tips magazine subscription was easy on Amazon. But it has now been almost 2 full months since the order was placed for a Christmas gift and the subscription has not begun. This is very disappointing and I cannot understand why it should take so long. It has to be a more simple process than ordering an item that has to be packaged and shipped which usually only takes days or weeks! Either forget ordering magazine subscriptions for gifts through Amazon or plan way ahead and order 2-3 months before the special day.


title: Young Rider

text: This is a good magazine for the horse-lover in your family.  There are many articles and tips regarding horses that can be helpful.


title: Great Magazine

text: Not only do we love the 2 issues so far that we received of Wine Spectator, but they came earlier than the 6-10 week leadtime that we were told it would take.


title: a LIFESTYLE magazine

text: The fact is that Wine Spectator is about the most inconsistant, beholden to special interest, pseudo-wine magazine ever! Their reviews are indeed gushing...I challange anyone to find a single negative comment. They say tastings are blind and comments are registered before the bottles are revealed so I would like to know how they consistantly come up with bottle-specific comments like, "this is a good Grange, but not quite up to the standards of previous vintages." ...Tasting is also done by panal highlighting another weakness: Usually, you can learn the palate and preferences of a particular reviewer, compare them to your own, and weight that person's ratings accordingly...here you have no idea which so-called 'experts' have reviewed a particular wine, so this tool is lost. Additionally, none of the WS reciewers, to my knowledge, posesses either a 'Master of Wines' or a 'Master Sommielier' certification.  While extremely difficult to earn (Robert Parker has failed the MoW test twice), either should be a prerequisite for a professed expert (or at least one of them).  For real wine enthusiasts, subscribe to decanter; for the more casual drinker, food&wine presents a much better value.


title: Wine Spectator

text: This was actually a gift for my husband, but he was very pleased. He had been getting it gratis and loves the magazine. The order was filled expeditiously and we have already received copies.


title: Great publication

text: It's rare to read an unbiased publication but MCN with its zero advertising magazine rates at the top of my list.


title: I don't want to go to mass without it

text: I can't believe how much this has added to my faith and my participation in mass. I can highlight passages or write questions to ask my priest later and still have my attention focused on the celebration. Best money I've ever spent!  The prayers for each day, meditations,  and other resources have greatly enhanced my daily prayer life!


title: Four Stars

text: Great mag and articles!!!!


title: Robb Reports KEEPS you in the KNOW

text: I lucked up discovering the Robb Report about three years ago. A great read on an airlines- I have had other passenger 'remove' it while I was out of my seat. Each issue since then has been a jewel and a treasure. The writers, photographers and editors create onoverwhelming sensory-overload for aspiring blue-bloods like myself. The vehicles, not limited to cars, vacation sites, and informative articles will keep you coming back month after month. Not to mention the Year-End Christmas Guide- a mammoth issue with gift and gadgets that will bring you to your knees. This issue alone is WORTH the subscription price. Dont miss out on another issue- grab one at the newstand or subscribe and you too will be hooked for life, hoping- praying for money to afford some of those great toys!


title: classy and a must have for any conessouir

text: Robb Report covers everything a gentleman could ever want or imagine. I have purchased over a dozen vehicles out of Robb Report magazine and have never been disappointed. Thanks Robb Report


title: only ever got 1 issue for a 12 month subsription-  ripoff

text:
I purchased a 12 month subscription/12 issues from this seller back in may of 2010.  I only ever got 1 issue.  Actually I completely forgot about the magazines until I got the electronic renewal notice

I contacted amazon via chant and asked for a refund.  I was a bit surprised that they said no problem/that I was able to get a refund from Amazon even though it was 10 months later.

So this isnt a complain about amazon, its a complaint about the seller.  I should have checked further, they had a bad rep on the web as a ripoff artist.

My advice - dont buy magazine subscriptions from this seller but Amazon is still a good company to do business with.


title: Luxury Redefined

text: I have been an avid reader of Robb Report for well over 15 years, and I will continue to do so "til Death do us part". The affluent lifestyle is well represented in this publication, the proverbial "American Dream". From the reviews of the finest automobiles to the showcasing of the most exquisite pieces of jewelry the world has to offer, Robb Report has everything for the most discriminating shopper.<br />If you can truly appreciate the finer things in life that money CAN buy, Robb Report is THE magazine for you, bar none.


title: Never Received Subscription

text: I renewed a gift subscription, however months later the recipient never received any magazines. After contacting the publisher, they stated they had the wrong address (which was not the truth because ten other magazines through Amazon goes to the same address). They later stated the magazines would be delayed for at least three more months. I cancelled the subscription.


title: CDLP Underwear- not worth the hype

text: I read Robb Reports review of CDLP Underwear. I have to totally disagree. These are the absolute worse pair of underwear I’ve ever purchased. Sizing is not anywhere close to being correct. Also, the hype and price is extremely overstated. Not worth the investment.


title: One of the worst magazines I've ever subscribed for!

text: I was very disappointed by this magazine. Not what I expected at $4.00 per issue. There are only a few nature pictures and articles, but majority is just advertising. The entire pages are promoting anything from jewelry, cruising vacations, shoes, medical pills, leather furniture, silver coins, mobile chairs, hearing aids. These adds have absolutely nothing to do with the National Wildlife.<br />I will not renew my subscription.

attachment_type: IMAGE


title: SLOW.....

text: It took a very long time for the 1st issue to come.  I think I received 1st issue roughly 3 months after placing order on Amazon.  I then moved and promptly updated change of address info.  That was a least 3 months since i received the 1st issue.  I have still yet to receive 1st issue at new address!!!  Very poor service.  Magazine itself is decent, but will probably just stick with Inc. & Fast Company after this subscription runs out.


title: Free and worth less than what I paid.

text: I've read this for 6 months, although reading is an overstatement.  This is a magazine you can flip through in about 10 minutes.  It's 90% ads, 10% articles (most of which appear to be ads).  They continually talk about all the newest tech, very little of which relates to business.  The cost analysis of gadgets is bad.  Very bad.


title: Don't waste your time

text: This is a good magazine for people who will believe anything. Do yourself a favor and move on.


title: Joke of a publication

text: Read your local paper, the WSJ, the Economist, or engage in the entrepreneurial sector of your community and don't support this magazine which has nothing to do with entrepreneurialism, and is a corporate joke in my opinion.


title: MARKETING

text: I READ LONG TIME AGO.  PLS.SEND ME A RECENT SAMPLE.WILL SUBSCRIBE THEREAFTER.............THANKS


title: Five Stars

text: Always learning from this mag.

text: Love it


title: Wrong shipping address

text:
When I ordered this magazine, I neglected to give the shipping address of the person that recieved the gift.

I sent an e-mail to you and asked to correct that and mail it to Cheryl Eaton, 21 Tarbox Rd. Jericho VT,05465. The "Inc" magazine was mailed directly to her, but the "Entrepreneur" magazine came to my address yesterday.  Would you please correct this and be sure it gets mailed to Cheryl Eaton at the above addres in the future.  Thanks for your attention in this matter. Ingrid Samuelsen


title: If you want to waste your time with useless information, this is the magazine!

text: The only good thing about this magazine is its title 'Entrepreneur'. It is an enticing title and sounds promising to new and aspiring entrepreneurs. But once you've read a couple of issues you know it's place is in the trash bin. The internet is a treasure house of informative and inspirational stuff, this magazine is like an ad book with useless or redundant information.<br />It's an utterly disappointing magazine for what it claims.


title: Still Not Here

text: I love this magazine that's why I ordered it six weeks ago... Still hasn't arrived. Hopefully I will get this upcoming months issue.


title: Motivating articles; quick start to the subscription

text: Great magazine for a $5 per year subscription and the first edition showed up very quickly after purchase.


title: good for ideas and inspiration

text:
This is a great magazine to learn about what other people are doing with their businesses.  Not only that, I find it very inspirational.

This isn't something that is going to take you from a 9-to-5 to running your own business, but it will definitely help you if you're already there.


title: My favorite magazine

text: This magazine has a lot of helpful "business" tips for anyone running their own small business. It helps me with making decisions on things that are important to me.


title: So...

text: This was supposed to be a year subscription, it's been 3 months or so and I've only received one magazine this far.


title: Not what the title leads you to believe

text: My biz partner and I were excited to receive our first mag from this group.  We were sorely disappointed.  Most of the articles are not new information, but "rehashed" info widely available.  We read it cover to cover for about 4 months, then cancelled the subscription.  There are better sources out there and this is not one of them!!


title: Very Helpful

text: Like the articles


title: Great magazine for start-ups

text: This magazine has a lot of info for anyone who wants to start or has started a business.  Very good value for the price.  I even got a $50 facebook ads coupon in the May 2011 issue but who knows if that'll run again. Entrepreneur is also pretty motivational since there's a lot of success stories that give you a push to actually launch your idea.


title: Three Stars

text: Some decent articles but pushes franchising heavily, obviously due to paid placement.


title: Great value

text: Entrepreneur magazine is an easy read that allows us working professionals to have access to fresh ideas and interesting articles.I consider it a bargain given the amount and quality of information I receive for about a buck. There are a lot of ads and subscription offers to deal with, but that seems to be the case with most media. I do not consider this a substitute for reading books on business. It is a good complement however.


title: Are you a business man ?

text: Try this out. Good for folks that are in business. I like to read it just to get some idea on how other do their business. It is for folks who lie light reading. Totally recomended for everyone who is interest in business in general.


title: Quality Finance News

text: This magazine has a lot of info of the finance world. I like to read the article in there just to get a hang of the economy itself. It also give me a lot of info on the financial happening.


title: I have to wait 2 months to receive my first issue?

text: Entrepreneur magazine is a great magazine.  Why do I have to wait two months get my first issue?  I made my order on 9/01/08 and I have to wait until 11/17/08.


title: Two Stars

text: Material is old and outdated.


title: Atrocious insult to intelligence

text: A lot of propaganda and a little valuable information. Full of women who look like Lori Lightfoot who account for less then one billionth of entrepreneurs. Sad state of affairs.


title: This magazine used to be good

text: I was a subscriber to this magazine about 10 years ago. I recently subscribed again. After receiving my first issue I remembered why I cancelled it. 75% of it is advertisements. I can only take so many janitor franchises.


title: Great if you love looking at advertisements

text: Well over half the magazine is advertisements, very few articles from which i've learned nothing at all. I would recommend taking a look at their website (entrepreneur.com) instead of subscribing to their magazine. Their website contains better articles that can be more helpful than those found in the magazine.


title: Magazine Scam

text: Somehow I have received 2 issues of this magazine without signing up. When I go to the website to cancel, it won’t let me saying that I have to contact the agency that I signed up with. This seems like a scam since I never signed up for this magazine.


title: I disagree with the negative ratings

text: Though the magazine does have the MLM and "You To Can Get Rich" articles, it has validity. You can do anything if you find the right thing, something your passionate about. I've found the articles may not always fit my exact situation, but I can extract what is meaningful or useful to fit my unique situation or business needs. Isn't that the main goal here? You have to find it, no one is going to hand it to you. Do the research and the work and ask for mentoring. Follow up on the leads and ideas they give you. I truly enjoy this magazine.  Carpe Diem.


title: Unless you want a stack of useless info...

text:
It's funny because I didn't realize how useless this magazine is for me until i read some of the other reviews here. I'm about half-way through an already paid for 2-year subscription to this magazine. I always make sure to keep my copy of each issue because somehow it feels like it holds some important information that will propel me forward as an entrepreneur. I have their website listed in my Favorites. Cause I'm a big time businessman who gets a magazine called "Entrepreneur" for entrepreneurs like myself. Yeah right! The truth of the matter is the magazines are perfectly stacked and in mint condition because as soon as I've flipped through it once, subconsciously I realize there's nothing of value there. A lot of ads with get-rich quick schemes. A list of 500 franchises. Blah blah blah.
Business 2.0, Wired, Inc., Fast Company, Investor's Business Daily, The Wall Street Journal. These are the business magazines and newspapers that give today's entrpreneur a thorough guide to "the jungle".
Entrepreneur? Just a fancy-sounding title. And soon to be a stack in the recycle bin.
And as far as motivation goes, I get more by flipping through an issue of Robb Report than I have ever gotten by reading any one article in Entrepreneur.


title: This is a renewal.

text: I love the TV show and am enjoying the magazine a lot.  Such good ideas for things that real people can find nd afford.  Keep up the good work.


title: Don't Bother Subscribing! They Hardly Ever SEND It!

text: The one star is for NOT getting what I paid for. I subscribed, but I only get about one out of 4 issues. When I complain, I get a form letter--but NO resolution. I guess it is too complicated for them to mail the magazine to their subscribers. These people just steal your money.


title: Don't waste your time or money

text: I ordered 6 or 7 magazine subscriptions from Amazon, and have been pleased with 5 or 6. My experience with Interview was that no issues of the magazine ever arrived, customer service was next to non-exsistant (they offered to extend my subscription to a magazine that never materialized, and for some stange reason, whose cover on Amazon magazines never updates...do they still publish it?????), and then charged me for magazines that I never recieved. I once subscribed several years ago and, although it was a look at the pictures and toss after skimming type of magazine, thought enough of the magazine to give it another try, but take my advice and save your money. You'll just get excuses and aggravation, lose money and receive nothing but a chance to write a review and complain.


title: Never Delivered

text:
Waited 3 months for First issue.
Received one issue then they stopped coming.

What's the deal?

They need to get their act together seriously.


title: Never Delivered!!!!!! Very Unreliable!

text:
Subscribed to V Mag sometime last year.
First off I waited almost 3 months before I received my first issue.
Then...I never received another.

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!

I love reading the articles and mostly gathering shoot ideas from the photos but I'm not gonna blow money away.

They really need to get their act together before a bunch of subscribers wise up and threaten a class action lawsuit!


title: One Star

text: I ordered this for my son and he only got 1 issue even though I paid for 12.


title: good magazine...but bad delivery

text: it's really a good managzine to read, however, i only received 6 issues and the rest of them have never received so far.


title: I haven't receive any issue yet!

text: I haven't receive any issue yet! How should I I hope I can get a copy of it in the near future!


title: warhola is dead, long live warhola

text:
this magazine was more creative and necessary back in the day. bring back the large format, even if it was printed on non-glossy newsprint pages, the pictures were gorgeous & the interviews actually interesting.the best interviews now are by other celebrities, less promotion than flowing conversation between creative people.<<<
the magazine is now more commercial and glossy, the photos aren't provocative.
i will continue to be a fan, not a fanatic. where is the art? where is the style?


title: By far my favorite magazine!

text: I love the interview format, which is stars interviewing other stars. I particularly liked Gladys Knight and Alicia Keyes. How cool! Beware, it's not a slick glossy, but is finished with matte, if you care. The spreads are still gorgeous in sort of a smoke-filled-room kind of way. Aside from getting interviews with big time stars, they seem to spot and interview people who are on their way up and get to them well before the mainstream media does. Prepare to be way ahead of the gossip curve. This is an Andy Warhol pub and it's always far ahead of the times.

title: No Magazines for Subscribers

text:
Interview has been hit with a number of production problems over the last couple of years. The dual editors Glenn O'Brien and Fabien Baron coulnd't agree on content so Baron leaves in January of 09. Art directors M/M Paris come in for three issues but leave when they aren't paid. O'Brienn leaves in the summer of '09 and Baron comes back. The result? Well, the magazine never comes on time (up to 2 Months late, if at all!)  There is also a lot of doubling up the months, instead of  October and November issues there is one October/November issue combo, same with December and January.
And this is written on February 7, and still no February issue of the magazine has been mailed.
So subscribe at your own risk, because who knows if Interview is going to be around long enough to fulfill your subscription. And at $6 an issue, it is really not worth buying it on the newsstand.

And to update, it is now March 15 and I have received no February issue OR March issue.
Here is Interview's response:
"We regret to inform you that our February issue will be delivered late
due to production delays.
Please allow until March 10, 2010 for delivery of this issue.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Second Update: May 2nd
No February Issue. No March Issue. No April Issue. No May issue.
Called up Interview and cancelled my subscription and demanded a full refund for services not rendered.

FINAL UPDATE: I asked for a complete refund and GOT IT! They are a lot faster mailing out their refund checks than their magazine!!!!!

So again, do not waste your money on a subscription to Interview- you will not be mailed any magazines.


title: Fantastic Magazine

text: Interview is a small magazine with big ambitions. All the latest news in entertainment, fashion, and politics can be found within it's colorful pages. The photography is amazing, and grand in scale, although the magazine is packed full of ads (which are equally as colorful I might add). This is NOT entertainment weekly- Interview is the indi-film of magazines, and the people and films it covers are not usually those found in typical magazines. Instead of focusing on the actor du jour, Interview covers the up & coming, the soon to be, and the undiscovered. The interview formats are fascenating and unique, as most are done by celebrities, of celebrities. If one is looking for typical hollywood gossip, Warhol's masterpiece is not for them. At such a cheap price, Interview is a gem that is yet undiscovered by many. I highly recommend it!


title: I was Invited to review Interview mag

text: I was invited by Amazon.com to review Interview magazine. It was time to re-new my subscription and Amazon.com offered a better price than Interview itself. (My business refuses to buy [or subscribe] to any magazine which costs more than a dollar an issue. Interview is displayed in the reception area so it's like 'free advertising' for the mag.) If you are not familiar with this publication then let me say right-off-the-bat that it was originally started/published by Andy Warhol. Interested now? One of the things I love about the mag is: many/most of the interviews are done by non-journalists. How would you like to have: Keith Richards interviewing Johnny Depp? Or Gwyneth Paltrow talking to Stella McCartney about her latest show? That's the way Interview approaches it. Most of the time Interview is way ahead of the curve; you will see the movie, hear the album, read the book, etc. long after the 'interview' appeared in Interview; which implies you better hang-on to your copies, to read later what was discussed, once you have had the subjective experience yourself.<br />J Sharkey [Diamond Mind Productions, L.C.C.] 5312011


title: They have Royally Screwed up the Order

text: W magazine said they would be sending out new subscription issues after January 11 and the order would begin in 4-6 weeks, please remember that I already had a subscription with W and I was letting it run out. Today is January 22 and W sent me TWO BACK ISSUES!! I Do Not Want What I've Already Got! (Good name for a song) I'm not about to pay money on issues I have already received. They sent me December 2010 today (Got the 1st one in November) AND today W sent me January again (the 1st one arrived in December). Who do I talk to to get credit and make sure that my subscription doesn't turn into a ten-month subscription? The reason I was letting my old subscription run out: Instead of personally offering me a good rate, like last time, W magazine almost doubled it and when I saw the Amazon.com offer (a year [12 issues] for less than ten dollars), I went for it. Timing is everything; I waited until I knew my subscription had expired. Why do I want December 2010 issue in February 2011? Yesterday's news, thank you very much. Here I thought I might end up missing the February 2011 issue of W; surprise!<br />John Sharkey - ONEderment Music Publishing - BMI 1222011


title: Subscribed by mail and was bombarded by other marketing before first issue arrived

text: I submitted a special subscription offer. Before I received the first issue of my subscription I started to receive unsolicited marketing offers from multiple companies I had never done business with, such as "Publishers' Clearing House" and many others. I realized that this magazine sells its subscriber information, without the subscriber's authorization, as another way to generate income. I called up the magazine an immediately cancelled my subscription, and told them to remove me from all of their marketing lists. It seems to have been done, as the mailings stopped entirely after 6 weeks.


title: By far the best writer's resource magazine

text: This magazine is a must have for professional poets.


title: Useful but too many ads.

text: I'm an international student who strongly intends to study creative writing and comparative literature. I have subscribed Poets&Writers for almost a year now. But I'm not sure I will renew. Of course, I found it very useful source to learn about writers and poets' perspectives and so on. The magazine opens up my world. Even though, i have been looking for a place to study creative writing.Definitely the magazine variously advertises many interesting schools but somehow I found it's kind of distraction, especially half of pages fulfilled with ads along with stories they provide.


title: SUMMARY

text: I ACTUAL;LY HAVE NOT SEEN MY SUBSCRIPTION YET. I DID READ A FEW ARTICLES AND ENTERED A CONTEST ON THE HAND HELD THIN THAT I HATE AND WILL NEVER USE AGAIN. I LIKED THE MAGIZINE AND HAVE TRIED TO ORDER IT AS MAILED TO MY HOUSE BUT HAVE NO CONFIRMATION OF THAT AS YET.<br />THANKS, DOE


title: Too much focus on poets for me

text: I only got the first issue, but it seems to be focused more on poets than other writers (hence the name).  i dont enjoy poetry but i love writing fiction.  They might do well to keep the two separate, especially the contests and events.  It's an attractive format and very upscale, high quality literature reviews and advice.  The stories are well written and enjoyable, although i think writers digest offers more for fiction writers.


title: Please cancel my subscription. It should be valuable for ...

text: Please cancel my subscription. It should be valuable for some writers, but I have no need of it at this time.


title: I Love This Magazine!

text: Awesome articles as always.


title: Poetry for Prisoners

text: I buy this magazine for an inmate who dreams of winning a poetry contest and having his poetry published. He loves it!


title: Good Resources

text: This magazine has an excellent section of up to date listing of grants and awards for writers.  The only disadvantage, is that it is very focussed on the American writer - a bit more international content would be of interest.

text: great magazine


title: The best magazine to come out years

text: Exceptional photography, interesting subjects covered and so well edited.


title: The quintessential Southern magazine

text: If you are a Southerner or just enjoy Southern culture, do not hesitate to purchase this magazine. G&G is impeccably crafted in every way and equally appealing to men and women. It is the highlight of my mailbox every other month, and I plan to place several gift subscriptions for Christmas.


title: Garden & Gun is awesome--Amazon subscriptions--not so much

text:
Garden & Gun is my antidote to Vogue, which under Anna Wintour slobbers all over the Obama's and fails to recognize that many of its readers do not share its unrequited passion for all things obama (of course, the readers aren't attempting to use their editorship to vault them into an ambassadorship of Great Britain for which they are wholly unqualified, so there is that). In any case, will not be renewing Vogue when it expires, but do enjoy pretty things and pretty places, as well as good writing, which Garden & Gun has in spades. Also, anyone who lives in the South, loves the South, and G & G does not turn her pretty nose up at us.

Unfortunately, I will have to go elsewhere for my G & G as Amazon took my money and did not deliver the goods. Durn Yankees! (wait, where is Seattle, exactly???)

title: Required reading where I come from.

text:
To me this magazine is one of those things in life we call necessary.

Of course I subcribe!

Of course it arrives... month after month.. and always has since the first issue.

Outdoor photographer publishes the work, advice and exploits of some of the most experienced photographers of our generation.

Not all of the top outdoor photographers author a column but even so you feel the high standards of the magazine reflect those out in the field as well.

To be honest I didn't realize getting this magazine was a choice.

It's just automatic for me!

Good luck!

title: Great magazine!

text: Bought this magazine subscription for my mom, she loved it!  Cute photos and useful articles.


title: Overwhelming amount of ads

text:
I would agree with previous reviewers, in that the burgeoning ads in this magazine over the past decade has made the magazine a chore to read.  The number of ads now easily exceed the number of pages devoted to articles.  It is also quite disturbing to note that many of those ads (possibly 50% or higher) pitch ultra high end products, such as Viking ranges, BMW's, Oceanna Cruises, trips to Bora Bora...WTF? Although I do enjoy I a luxury meal, I don't want to go into massive credit card debt purchasing products this magazine is selling.  Ocassionally, behind the clutter, I find a useful recipe; I rarely find an interesting article.

I am going to let my subscription expire at the end of the current period.


title: Happy to have found this mag again!

text: I picked up a copy of Outlook when I was travelling in Annapolis last fall and absolutely devoured it. It was so clearly geared toward Baby Boomers on the go. The articles ran the gamut from travel, history, art, gardening, technology, and health, to hobbies, cooking, book reviews, and legal issues. I was thrilled that someone finally pulled together so many great writers who understand that most Baby Boomers are active and engaged and have interests that range from sports to music to community service and beyond. I'm not a luddite by any means, but I truly appreciated the technology articles that were jargon free, but still enlightening. I even downloaded a couple of the recommended apps! It's difficult to describe this magazine because it's so chock full of "stuff" that is entertaining and informative. There are little hints throughout that send you to interesting web sites and a couple of interesting how-to articles that I actually tried. A subscription to Outlook is my new  "Go To" birthday gift for my Boomer friends.

text: I've decided to buy Superb Crossword Puzzles again because I used to do them daily.  But I could not find them at my store.  Amazon offers only the jumbo version as a subscription, I just want one or two issues to begin enjoying them.  I'm not interested in paying almost $30 for a subscription right now.  The puzzles are very difficult, but a great learning experience and I like the idea of a theme for each puzzle.  Superb Puzzles are never boring.


title: Worth it!

text: We really like the bigger print and my kids look forward to reading it every month with all its different stories . I grew up reading this book so I look forward to it too

title: Good housekeeping subscription renewal scam

text: We keep getting subscription renewal notices stating account past due.  Our subscription expires in January 2018 why would we renew now, and how could it be past due? Good housekeeping is just interested in money by wrongfully harassing customers. I would advise anyone considering subscribing to Good Housekeeping  read all correspondence very carefully, or just buy the magazine at a newsstand if you want it.


title: Success Magazine

text: I have yet to get my first one!  I was just going to call because I haven't received an issue yet!


title: Eating Well

text: The title, Eating Well, defines the mission of this magazine.  Always beautiful pics, terrific recipes, and excellent healthful tips worthly for a coffee table display.


title: Terrific Mag

text: This is the magazine to get if you want to be up on the latest from the culinary world.  Great tips from all the best chefs!


title: One Star

text: never got an issue


title: Great magazine

text: It's a great magazine, of course. Kids love it and read them over and over, because the content is always relevant rather than being dated. The first magazine showed up exactly when the estimate said it would, so order it early if you are giving it as a gift. I didn't order in time, so I just bought one off the rack and put a card on that one to give to the child before the first magazine in the subscription arrived. You *might* want to check elsewhere for coupons or a better price. Just saying.

title: Generally reliable, a decent read, but sometimes annoying

text:
This is a generally useful magazine with a clear vision, but I don't always find myself agreeing with that vision. Try a couple of issues from the newsstand before splurging on a subscription.

CI is a great choice if you want reliable, no-nonsense recipes that (a) involve foods most people would be open to eating, (b) educate you a bit about the purpose of various ingredients and techniques in a recipe, and (c) involve minimal use of canned and processed ingredients (e.g., not just dumping cans into a crock pot). If you're interested in moving up from typical Better Homes and Gardens recipes or a PTA Cookbook, CI is a reliable source of reliable recipes. Call it serious cooking for the traditional home cook. You won't see restaurant reviews, discussions of molecular gastronomy and Top Chef, or travelogues. I've been a regular reader for over five years, archive all my copies, and cannot think of any recipe which has turned out poorly. There's no "food porn" showing fabulous presentations that are beyond the skills of the average home cook, as the recipes all present themselves as something that a reasonably skilled home cook could achieve. CI is at its best when they happen to feature a recipe for a food you enjoy, or one that you have already cooked and wondered about improving.

On the other hand, the magazine has several annoying qualities. Equipment reviews are not consistently helpful to me as, like Consumer Reports, CI often subjectively emphasizes much different features than are important to me. Ingredient tastings are rarely useful because they invariably choose brands that are not available in my region. Why don't they research which brands are nationally distributed? The opening essay by Christopher Kimball is a maudlin, page-wasting moralistic vanity puff about country living. The recipes often seem recycled, particularly between the related magazines and books (Cook's Illustrated, Cook's Country, America's Test Kitchen, Best Recipes, etc.). It can be difficult to find the recipe that you seek unless you spend more at the website or for additional publications. The magazine is organized by recipes (e.g., Roast Chicken, Brownies, etc.) but not indexed by ingredients, so if you are in the mood for something based on a particular ingredient you may not find it terribly efficient to use. Many of the reviewers here on Amazon seem fascinated with the culinary experimenting and optimization process described in the text before each final recipe, but this doesn't do much for me. I don't always agree with CI's definition of the proper taste, and their experimental procedure is poorly designed. By this, I mean that if a recipe involves ingredients and methods ABCDEF, it doesn't always work to find the best A, then the best B, and so on. It's quite possible that the choice for E makes a different B the better choice in the ultimate outcome. There's a certain pomposity of tone when CI is preparing something outside their own New England regional cuisine. It can be grating to have a Yankee self-proclaimed expert assert how a Southwestern dish is supposed to taste or announce that this-and-that is the "proper" technique to make American Southern biscuits. Sometimes the recipes are too interwoven, as in a recent issue where it seemed they were just thrilled beyond words with their new Dutch oven and everything involved use of the same $240 LeCreuset. It's also annoying to have to buy a hard-bound book or another magazine at the end of the year to get something useful as a reference for the cook's bookshelf. Without spending more money you will not be able to use the magazine as a reference. For example, if I noticed some really striking specialty produce at the farmer's market and brought it home not sure what I wanted to use it for, CI would be at the bottom of the list for sources I'd consult for ideas. The stylistic limitation of using only Wall Street Journal-style monochromatic drawings instead of color illustrations is sometimes useful and sometimes less than ideal. Finally, I find that I frankly enjoy advertisements that are designed to inform me about new cooking tools, products, training or culinary topics, and that can make a magazine more enjoyable to browse. If you enjoy this sort of thing, then CI will seem quite dry as the only advertisements are for more products from their publishing empire.

Bottom line: it's a worthwhile magazine if you are geek-serious about cooking, fussy about making familiar foods better, or enjoy having ideas presented about things you already happen to be considering cooking. It's not so useful as a reference, for quick feed-the-family-in-30-minutes meals, or for those moments when you want to figure out how to make a particular dish you have in mind or how you can use a given ingredient. I'd say it's more useful and archive-worthy than Saveur, Bon Appetit, or Gourmet. It's more accessible than pro-level magazines like Arts Culinaires. Buy a sample copy or two at the newsstand before you decide on a subscription. Myself, I'm leaning toward Taunton's Fine Cooking lately.


title: Lots of animal pictures!

text: My granddaughter loves it!


title: A great resource for entry level and high end gear.

text: Started a subscription when I was in the market for a new turntable about six years ago. This magazine along with Stereophile helped me make a great purchase. Love it!


title: Wonderful!

text: My mom ordered this for my daughter for Christmas.  DD, age 2.5, LOVES them!  We had considered ordering the Ladybug but several reviews here & other places suggested getting Babybug for that age.  I'm glad we did.  (We'll get Ladybug when this subscription runs out.)  DD asks for these stories every night.

title: Great magazine for my 10 yr old

text:
Really, this should be my son's review. He really liked the first issue. Read it cover to cover.

Only problem I ran into was that the first issue was addressed to my ex instead of to me. No idea how that happened since the order was on my Amazon account w/Bill-to and Ship-to as me. Weird.


title: Cancel this subscription

text: Excellent magazine but need it cancelled.


title: Great magazine. However, NOTE:  A full year is 13 issues

text: I really enjoy this magazine but do note that a full year is 13 issues.  The terms of this sale (at least when I purchased) was for 12 or 24 issues.  It incorrectly states that correlates to 12/24 months, which it does not.  There is a holiday issue that counts as one of your issues.


title: Magazine's ok, spam is not

text: I used to subscribe to field and stream and found that it had decent articles, I was a boy scout and liked the camping tips and such. I figured I'd give it another shot, and ordered it back in July, thinking I could get some hunting tips for the fall. Well it's late September and I still haven't seen my first issue. I did get a letter from field and stream offering me a great deal for an 18 month subscription, I was kinda hoping to get a magazine before I re-upped my subscription. Also I've started getting letters and magazines from the weirdest companies and organizations. I thought it might be because I'd just come off active duty, but no one else I knew was getting them. It occurred to me when I got an NRA letter which I haven't gotten since I was a kid, that this was probably the source. So to make a long review short, I wanted a magazine, not a mailbox full of cigar adds, and subscription updates (especially since i still haven't gotten a single magazine)


title: For serious cooks who want to understand how cooking works

text: The magazine is wonderful.  It is for serious cooks.  However I recommend patience and order the end of year book.  The cost is about the same and instead of floppy magazine you have an excellent hardcover book to refer to.  I have all their magzaine books since they started.  It is an excellent reference source.

text: Keep up to what is going on in the make it your self market.


title: This is disgusting. They are just making money on other people ...

text: Don't support and don't buy it. They are joking about people tragedy. They just released pictures on Russian plane crash in Egypt, where so many people including kids (the youngest was 9 months old) killed. This is not freedom of speech. This is disgusting. They are just making money on other people people tragedy.


title: Will the real Saturday Evening Post please stand up?

text: I was very excited and pleased to receive as a gift several recent copies of The Saturday Evening Post magazine.  I remembered the issues I read in the time of my youth and looked forward to time to read these new issues.  The name of the magazine is the same and there are still cartoons, maybe even more cartoons, that are witty.  Other than those two things, the new magazine is nothing like the magazine one thinks of when one says The Saturday Evening Post.  This magazine is an impostor using an honored name to profit while peddling fluff and hype.  Of course, keep in mind that I was looking for something from my youth and that is not always reasonable nor realistic.  Don't buy it for its name or you'll likely be disappointed. However, without preconceived expectations, you may fine the magazine enjoyable.

title: FANTASTIC

text: Hope you will continue to offer magazine subscriptions at an affordable price.  The prices from the publisher are OUTRAGEOUS and I have decided to DISCONTINUE if I cannot get a good price or get them at an affordable price from Amazon.  In this day and time when money is so tight this is definitely one place I can save money.


title: My Go To Read Before Bed!!

text: I read every night before bed to center myself and inspire good thoughts.  I like that it is so simple and less, though some people seem to not like that.  I feel that is it’s draw.  I buy subscriptions for my friends as gifts and I feel the $20 yearly subscription through Amazon is a great value.

title: still waiting for it to arrive..

text: I ordered this magazine about a month ago.  The initial delivery estimate was within 2 weeks, however, 4 weeks later, I am still waiting for the magazine to arrive.  The shipment date now is pushed out another 2 weeks - there also has been no communication about delays in delivery etc - would not recommend it


title: The best!

text: This magazine is so interesting to read. Its very different from any of the other autism magazines in that they do a fantastic job talking about the latest and greatest research and how to integrate it into practice. You will not be disappointed!


title: Way too many ads, but a way to get kids to read

text:
My 11 year old got a subscription as a birthday gift last year.  Ordinarilly, We'd have to pull teeth to get him to read.  However, he always reads this, and not just looks at the pictures.  It's also been helpful in that it's encouraged more age-appropriate shows and such to him.  (He's autistic, and we were having some problem pushing him out of his Winnie the pooh comfort zone)  This was a painless way to encourage expansion.  I must agree though, that are far too many ads in here for comfort.

As a note though - because it's been an overall postivie, we've just renewed for two years.


title: ''BEWARE'' NOT A MAGAZINE-BUT A FLYER

text: I'm a little disappointed I purchased this for my dad for father's day I thought it was a magazine but it's actually a 6 page flyer with 3 holes on the side to put in a binder. I just think it's a little pricey for a flyer but he said he enjoys it and the information is good.


title: Should be called card making

text: I ordered this magazine because I enjoy "paper crafts" i.e. paper model building, recycled material projects, silhouettes etc.  This magazine seemed to only feature greeting cards.  I was never interested in making the greeting cards because they were so elaborate that I think it would require a $50 trip to the craft store just to make one card.  I'm sure this is great for some people but I found no inspiration at all.


title: Too Much About Boys

text: I read multiple reviews online and figured I finally found a magazine for my 13 year that wasn't full of exposure to grown up issues like boyfriends, or BF as the magazine refers to them in numerous articles.  I was excited about giving her an avenue to get some ideas about fashion and light make up applications but when I read the Dec-Jan issue-I cancel fast enough.  It's sad because there are some good articles I would love her to read but everyother page made reference to boys; the magazine makes it OK for 13 year old girls to have a BF, discuss how to get a guy to like you, etc.  It's a real shame some parents think a 13 yr old can handle all of this mess when they should be focusing on school and becoming responsible adult.  Not kissing & telling, or more for that matter.


title: I have not received the magazine yet

text: i purchased this quite awhile ago and i have still have not received it yet!!! How long will it take???


title: Best Weekly Glossy

text:
Best weekly glossy on the shelves.  I buy it every week to peruse over smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.  The articles are deliciously light and there are loads of fashion photos and pack shots.  Yeah, I know.  But let's be honest, if you're buying a glossy for enlightenment or any real understanding...you're doing something wrong.

I'll stick with wonderful product pics.


title: Evangelicalism's Renaissance Begins

text:
I had heard of "Books & Culture."  I had never read it.  And then a good friend from college called one afternoon and told me he was sending me a gift subscription.  I've never enjoyed a periodical this much.  It has given me hope.

When George W. Bush was reelected the word "Evangelical" was spoken across the country in blame.  Regardless of your political stance, the point is that the Evangelicals were seen as stupid enough to reelect what much of the rest of the nation saw as a poor president.  Even today, "Evangelical" is often used to connote backwardness or stupidity.  But "Books & Culture" blows this assumption out of the water.

Have you stumbled across another publication that will voice God-fearing perspectives on gender roles in the church, current philosophy and theology, current film and literature, politics, economics, and cultural phenomena such as the internet?  This is "Books & Culture's" most recent issue, thoughtfully done and honestly written, even when the conclusions reached seem somewhat outside of the traditional conception of things.

As a subculture, we love answers.  But it seems we are entering a new period of growth in our communities, one in which questions will be equally important and appropriately valued.  Why not begin with the tough questions?  You'll find many of them in "Books & Culture."

ALong

P.S. Dennis, if you ever read this, thanks for the subscription, bud.


title: Latest science topics!!!

text: Excellent variety of actual science topics!! Love it!!


title: Interesting Science and Technology Articles of Managable Size and Complexity

text: I have been a subscriber to Popular Science for many years and continue to enjoy this magazine. Popular Science offers a broad spectrum of articles about science and technology. I would have given this 5 stars if not for the bits of political correctness seeping into some of the articles in recent years; science is the quest for facts, not opinion. That said, still a good read.
