title: Wonderful!

text: This is an excellent magazine!! It's well-rounded for both english and western riders and has a good bit of grooming, medical care, and other topics related to horses tied in as well!And if focuses on a different educational club or a rescue organization nearly every month. Of course, it isn't perfect and can't teach you how to completly take care of or ride a horse, but what magazine, or book for that matter, can? Not even videos! You have to go out and get instruction! So, I don't think that just because it only hits the surface of some topics, that it should have a star taken. Excellent choice for the younger equestrians.


title: My Favorite Cooking Magazine

text:
Cooking Light is the first cooking magazine I've purchased where my wife or I have actually cooked an item out of almost every issue.

As others have noted, the recipes don't seem to be the lightest cooking one can do, but I look at it from the point of view that all of the recipes are lighter than their traditional counterparts.  I am also largely fond of their focus at times on specific ingredients, especially vegetables and meats that I don't always think to use but can provide a healthy option.

The other fantastic thing is that the recipes are very practical.  They always have a section for quick meals (less than 30 minutes) and for lower budget meals.  Those tend to be great and help out quite a bit in cutting down on fat and salt (as a runner I don't concern myself much with calories).

I am also the type of cook that looks for ideas and concepts rather than sticking hard and fast to a recipe, and I love how this magazine can inspire ideas.  If you aren't horribly concerned with light cooking, you can always pick and choose ingredients to suit your tastes.  I also find that ideas work well in my own personal recipes to make them healthier.

Last, I love that the magazine will usually include a nice recipe index.  It makes it easy to find recipes by type of general ingredient.  It's great when I'm looking for a quick salad or side dish to serve with a meal.

An example of one recent recipe my wife and I liked involved the use of making macaroni and cheese using squash as the thickening agent instead of flour and cream.  It probably isn't the biggest improvement in terms of fat and calories, but the value comes in the added use of vegetables and the vitamins they provide.  It was delicious.

I've also found their summer grilling recipes to be quite good and have come across some great recipes for grilling vegetables.  That makes a nice variation on the salad.

Overall, it is a wonderful magazine that doesn't need to be restricted to light cooking, and it allows itself to be as flexible as any home cook or chef may want to be.  It is definitely worth a try.


title: Excellent response to the right-wing elite.

text:
The American Prospect was founded by Robert Kuttner [[ASIN:1603580794 Obama's Challenge: America's Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative Presidency]] and Robert Reich [[ASIN:1400076609 Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America]], both important thinkers in their own right.  While it isn't as radical as I think our analysis needs to be in this time of ecological and economic meltdown, The American Prospect is consistently thoughtful and provides a very helpful response to the endless barrage of right-wing PR in the service of corporatism and militarism [[ASIN:B0007DBJM8 The Corporation]].
The current issue features a cover story on a constructive development in cable news, that is the rise of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.  Openly gay, and politically astute, Maddow is a breath of fresh-air on the tv tube which has been so dominated by men.  The article notes that Maddow is currently working on a book about the militarization of the United States [[ASIN:0805078967 The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives]].  I'd like to see the American Prospect include the occassional radical like Angela Davis [[ASIN:1583226958 Abolition Democracy: Beyond Prisons, Torture, and Empire  Interviews with Angela Y. Davis (Open Media)]], Michael Parenti [[ASIN:0872864820 Contrary Notions: The Michael Parenti Reader]], or Winona LaDuke [[ASIN:0813534275 New Perspectives on Environmental Justice: Gender, Sexuality, and Activism]].  Nevertheless, the Prospect does a great job of responding to the misinformation efforts of journals like The Weakly Standard and the National Review.

title: Good for keeping up on corporate PR

text:
The Weekly Standard is where the advocates of militarism and corporatism share the thoughts cobbled together by various industry lawyers, think tanks, and PR agents [[ASIN:0465061796 PR! - A Social History of Spin]].
It is regularly promoted through other avenues of right-wing cultism, like the Limbaugh show and all the little Limbaughs [[ASIN:0195366824 Echo Chamber: Rush Limbaugh and the Conservative Media Establishment]].
Like any propaganda, it should be monitored to see how the spin doctors of the right-wing establishment are deceiving those who subscribe to the values of elitism, imperialism, and other ugly aspects of the American empire [[ASIN:1567512526 Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World War II-Updated Through 2003]].

For people who are interested in the real world, I'd recommend:
[[ASIN:1411693957 The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer]]
[[ASIN:1591841917 Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill)]]

title: A progressive oasis in a corporatist abyss.

text: 'The Progressive Populist' delivers 22 issues a year packed with insightful articles from people like Amy Goodman, Jim Hightower, Garrison Keillor, Patrisia Gonzales and Ralph Nader.  It provides plenty of space for 'letters to the editor.'<br />With subscriptions for less than $30, it is a bargain and a good tool for sharing progressive thought with others.


title: Much-needed antidote to the militant "Christians"

text:
I live an hour north of "Focus on the Family," a right-wing mega-church that seems more focused on anger than Christian love.  They don't like liberals, gays, Muslims, multiculturism, Democrats and others.  "Focus" and its authoritarian orientation advances a theology that's quite conducive to the goals of its neighbor, the US Air Force Academy.
[[ASIN:0312361432 With God on Our Side: One Man's War Against an Evangelical Coup in America's Military]]
"Focus" has a media empire with over 2000 radio stations around the world.
"Sojouners" on the other hand resembles the teachings of Jesus, they're concerned about the poor, and they advocate for peace & justice.  Even their advertisements are heartening, as many of them are for opportunities to cultivate compassion in the world.
"Sojourners" is very well designed, both long and short segments, interviews, interpretations of scripture, etc.  The current issue includes a segment on great books for children.  It also features an article by Brian McLaren, adapted from his book [[ASIN:0849901839 Everything Must Change: Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope]].
The editor, Jim Wallis, is a very influential author and speaker.  It would be great if he was on 2000 stations.  Fortunately, he has written some best-selling books such as [[ASIN:0060834471 God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It (Plus)]], and Sojourners is working on a radio studio.
I would urge people not to let themselves be deterred by some ordering obstacle.  Maybe calling the magazine directly and ordering with a credit card would be a better way to go, or sending in a subscription card from a copy of the magazine.  Either way, "Sojourners" is an important journal that deserves support.


title: There's A Reason Why Seventeen Is #1

text: This is a wonderful magazine for your typical teen. It gives reasonable priced things to buy, tells you what to wear and how to wear it, gives you great makeup and guy advice, tries to encourage you to be politically and socially aware, and helps you learn to be healthy and fit. It's an all-around wonderful magazine. I used to love YM, but I'm beginning to outgrow it... Seventeen should last me through college at least...


title: Great Magazine - Lousy Service

text: I am the kind of person who has a big interest in science, mechanics, and nature, but let's just say I'm not rocket science material. This magazine was perfect for me because it covered all sorts of subjects in layman's terms. I saw it in a doctor's office so I subscribed to it. Never got it. Called. Delayed. It should arrive any day. Never got it I had checked "Bill me later " on the order form intending to pay it once I received it. But I never got it. So I didn't pay. And they sent me to collections. It's too bad because my family and I really like it and I'd recommend the mag otherwise.


title: best Mens Magazine

text: best mens magazine. i love the gear pages. cool articles most of the time. its a very full paged magazine. i just love it


title: Has good tips

text: I have always bought this magazine as it has some good ideas and information on how to do it. Have noticed that it is getting a little thin in articles. Will still buy as I like too see it in print for reference instead of phone.


title: Always liked this magazine

text: I have read this magazine for years and like to get some ideas for my garden. Some of the plants recommended are invasive to my area so I have to do research before I buy. Wish they could state that.


title: Has some good ideas

text: Magazine has some good ideas to try and I tried a few.


title: Buy it for ideas

text: Got this subscription as it is cheaper than buying at the store. It has some good ideas and I have used some of them.


title: Love this magazine

text: Have bought this for years and they have good articles and I also watch the show. Just wish that they would focus on smaller homes and not the big houses. Not all of us have the big $$$ .


title: I LIKE IT

text: It took 6 weeks to get but I am now receiving it and I like this magazine. I like the photos and the information in the articles. Very few ads.


title: Love Old Houses

text: I have always loved looking at old houses and this magazine lets me see other old houses and how they were built. Wish the price would come down some.


title: Love this magazine

text: Used to buy this a Barnes and Noble before the store closed and Wal-Mart picked it up at some stores but you had to be fast to get as it would always sell out quick. This magazine lets you look at 50's and 60's era. Wish the price could come down a little though.


title: My Husband likes it a lot!

text: My husband says this is one of the best hunting magazines he has come across; which makes me happy that I purchased it as a Christmas gift.


title: Good Deal

text: The Magazine is full of helpful articles and hints.  The price was a good deal too.  I enjoyed reading it.


title: Always enlightening

text: Like the different topics covered.  To the point.


title: Not the magazine it used to be.

text: I was disappointed with the Reader’s Digest. I had not seen one for many years and was looking forward to getting the subscription. Consequently, it is not the quality little magazine I remember. The paper quality is poor and the print quality is also more newspaper like. The print is small. It’s just not the book I remember.

text: I love motorcycles. They are some of the among the fastest vehicles on earth. This magazine keep one well informed.


title: Five Stars

text: The best magazine there is. Period.


title: Biased

text: Very poor objectivity, which is the whole purpose of buying a magazine like this. Tesla has the best consumer satisfaction ratings of any car and their model S has a 97 road test rating, yet they basically don’t mention the car anywhere on any of their ratings for any car type (even for top gas milage). They have de-recommended all Tesla models without comment.


title: Yoga Journal is the best magazine of its kind!

text:
I have just received my third issue, and plan to read it cover to cover like the first two.

I used to buy Yoga Journal occasionally on the newsstand, but I am sure that I will have savings by subscribing; and I will enjoy getting the issues in the mail each month.


title: Seriously?  $5 for a year?  WOOHOO

text: Love this mag and at $5 for a year, why not?


title: Buy Them

text: National Geographic has been a source of thoroughly researched, well written, articles for decades. Excellent as always.


title: Fantastic

text: Every bit the quality one would expect from the Smithsonian!


title: Really fun, informative magazine

text: Real Simple is such a great resource for many things! Anything from Kitchen Storage Solutions to the Best Jeans for your Body. The variety of articles is very broad and the tips are always something new I've never heard of! I have many lightbulb moments when reading through and often say to myself 'why didn't I think of that?!'


title: Good Magazine

text: I'm an  English rider, and this magazine still interests me, plus they have very good service. It only took about 4-5 weeks to get my first issue. I would reccomend this to any western rider.


title: Great Magazine, ok service

text: I like this magazine a lot, but the service isn't the best. Sometimes the issues come really late, and I wish they were a little better at sending the issues out on time. The magazine is really good though.


title: One Star

text: Garbage print. Wouldn’t know the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the Ass.


title: Has great educational value

text: Like: The magazine keeps me tied into bird populations and what we can do to help them.


title: Great pictures

text: Good magazines with plenty of photos


title: Some good ideas in high

text: A tad too fancy for me. Some good ideas in high budgets


title: Just ok

title: 8 months later, not a single issue...

text: I ordered a gift subscription at the Amazon $5 rate, and 8 months later, not a single issue has been sent, and not one reply to any email requests for explanations or refunds.


title: Food Preparation and Plating

text: This magazine shows you how to prepare the different types of dishes. Gives you ideas how to plate the different dishes. Also it's practical..


title: good magazine

text: coins was not my top choice in coin price guides but seems like the only one left out there...it is still a good solid choice  with excellent info....wish they covered Canadian coins regularly with the American coins....I live in Minnesota work at casino and get a lot of Canadian coins in my tips...I have a lot of Canadian pennies from the 30's and 40's..i wonder what they are worth


title: Five Stars

text: Looking forward to getting this


title: good

text: husband likes this


title: Lots of interesting articles

text: I had picked up a copy of this magazine before subscribing. I am very much interested in living green and simple. The articles are of very good quality and cover a range of interesting topics.  I really look forward to each issue.


title: bodybuilding the way it's meant to be

text: The magazine is made exclusively for hardcore bodybuilders.  If you're into fitness, this magazine ain't for you.  However, if you're into BODYBUILDING - HARDCORE, then this is the magazine for you.  It is jam-packed with muscle upon muscle of some of the most hardcore bodybuilders in the business.


title: Beautiful magazine and great price on a subscription

text: I really like this magazine and the ease of having it delivered to my mailbox. No having to go buy it on the newsstand and have it sold out.


title: It works for on-the-go

text: 'eh ... this was ok.  I much prefer that actually magazine.  I never got notifications of when a new magazine was available online.  It does have great features like take and go shopping lists, easily available no matter where you are etc.  But I just prefer the actual magazine.


title: Still like it but magazine quality has gone downhill

text: I enjoy getting MSL every month but I do feel it's thinner and "fluffier" since Martha left.  And maybe they have used up all their "good things".  I used to save every back issue but I toss these or let the kids cut them up when I'm done reading.


title: Magazine Just OK

text: I've subscribed to this magazine ever since it was first published. It was great the first year or 2, but seems to have lost something along the way. There are not as many manufacture coupons in my subscribed edition, however I happened to notice that in-store editions do seem to have more coupons in them. Subscribers should get the same coupons. Because of this I may not be nenewing or may even cancel my subscription if this doesn't change. The magazine does have lots of good tips on everything from fashion, make-up, food & more. The other thing I noticed is you used to be able to find better deals when subscribing to this magazine. I could not find 1 site with a lower reduced rate or where you could use a coupon code. I feel it had such a great start that now they are too full of themselves to offer those deals. There are plenty of other magazines you can purchase for half the price with almost as much information & more coupons.


title: so so

text: This magazine is just ok, so so, I've been getting it about a year now, it usually has something interesting in it,but not everything ,but there are some issues that are very good, and each article is very interesting, so it is sporadic as to how good each issue is.Some excellant, some just ok.


title: Not the magazine I thought it would be

text: I hear really good reporting and commentary from authors of articles in this magazine on NPR.  The trouble with the magazine is that the articles are too short and there is too much advertising.  The authors that I have heard on NPR seem to know their topic very well, but the magazine just shows an executive summary of their vast knowledge.  I really hate the fact that so many trees had to die so that I could be offended by eighty pages of advertising for twenty pages of content.  And I'm used to a lot of advertising because I subscribe to photography magazines.  The amount of ads in Wired is ridiculous.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine for all kids!


title: best way to start

text: my granddaughter thinks she is special since she gets her own magazine and it has puzzles just for her and stories she can remember. what a super idea.


title: It's good to know what your purchasing

text: Has more advertising on medication then health. Medications are not healthy.


title: Unoriginal and Biased

text:
This low rating is not a reflection of the distributor associated with this listing, but rather a comment on the substance of The Week. I have subscribed to The Week for going on 2 years. The only plus in my book is the real estate section -- I love seeing pictures and prices of real estate from around the country and world....

That said, I find myself flipping through the magazine in a few minutes, deriving no value from it. Basically the magazine provides you a summary of the key political, cultural events of the week -- but not in an intelligent, insightful way that might include an objective, well informed analyst/writer summarizing the event, placing it within context, and highlighting its meaning in the wider scheme of things, perhaps even offering a bit of backstory or new information.

Instead you get a He Said-She Said in the form of left-right commentary....This leftist journalist says this about said issue while that conservative journalist said that. Imagine how vacuous the news is today, how ill informed our commentators, how grandstanding our politicians. These are the sources of he said-she said.

The writing is also clunky -- I get the impression of a recent college grad or intern quickly gleaning maybe 20 newspapers and magazines and looking for opinions to form te he said-she said and then slapping them together.

It's not a pleasant read, and by the time you get the magazine, if you have even remotely been paying attention to the news, you would already be familiar with the stories.  They don't search for anything you might have missed -- they stories are obvious whose value consists on being headline grabbers.

Needless to say, I won't be renewing my subscription.


title: Horrid!!  One big tobacco advertisement!

text: First, all the magazine is a one big tobacco advertisement!  Every other page is promoting smoking and yes even electronic cigs...lol...omg!  Why, does a Science magazine promote this crap?  Yes, I know money but still very disappointed with writings and total magazine...wont renew!!!


title: I Love This Magazine!

text: Beautiful, very enjoyable magazine. Full of great cooking.


title: Great ads

text: Because most magazines are ads it was really helpful to find out about certain companies that we didn't know about before reading this magazine.  Thanks


title: Five Stars

text: Great!


title: You will not be disappointed!

text: Great magazine from the do-it-yourselfer homeowner to professionals. There are how-to instructions as well as why things work the way they do. There are also tips from readers who come up with additional clever ideas. I purchased this magazine for my husband but I read it cover to cover. I also plan on giving this as a gift to my son who is about to be a first time homeowner.


title: Can we change the cover?

text: I like the magazine format and features because I like Oprah and her shows and her philosophy of life and of entertainment. The articles are short and to the point and varied; you don't need hours to finish an article to get the idea. The magazine is glossy and entertaining posing also some  interesting thought provoking questions. Some of it also invites you to reflect on some serious issues. The one thing that turns me off however, is that it features Oprah on every cover. It seems a bit self indulgent and self adoring. It doesn't go with what she appears to personify on her shows and public persona.


title: Five Stars

text: I love Yoga Journal!


title: Great magazine but poor delivery system

text: Enjoy the magazine but had so many delivery problems I canceled my subscription.  Now I go to the bookstore to purchase. The issues arrived after the next ones were on sale. The recipes and photos are wonderful. Great ideas and interesting articles. Although I would like a few more articles in each issue.


title: Great Read

text: I get this for my husband who is retired Navy.  He really enjoys it and looks forward to getting the new issue every time.


title: Great Magazine

text: I love Handyman.  I subscribed to two of them.  One for my son and one for me.  We get on the phone and talk about the articles.  Very helpful with projects.  I really like getting my magazines from Amazon because I can keep track of when they are due to renew.

title: Grandson loves this mag

text: Have bought this as a gift for our high school age grandson for over 2 years now. He loves it and learns so much stuff!


title: Love the articles, photos and clothes

text: This is my favorite magazine, ever.  I would be happy just looking at the ads for all the clothes and furniture, but the beautiful Western photos and articles are always a treat too.  I always wanted to be an Indian and my husband wanted to be a cowboy so this is perfect for us!


title: A Favorite

text: My granddaughter requested this magazine because she loves reading it  Therefore I think very highly of it.  Plan to subscribe next year.


title: IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE YOUR EXPIRATION DATE - IT IS WRITTEN IN CODE ON MAILING LABEL

text: HANDYMAN, AND OTHER MAGAZINES SOLD BY THIS SAME COMPANY DELIBERATELY HIDE THE EXPIRATION DATE FROM SUBSCRIBERS. THEY SAY IT IS BY YOUR NAME ON THE LABEL, BUT IT'S WRITTEN IN CODE: EG: WSP21. LOGGING INTO YOUR WORTHLESS ACCOUNT SHOWS THE SAME THING - WSP21. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHEN IT EXPIRES BECAUSE THEY BOMBARD YOU WITH RENEWAL OFFERS CONSTANTLY, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ONE OR TWO ISSUES. ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY WAY TO DETERMINE WHAT YOUR EXPIRATION DATE IS, YOU HAVE TO CALL, AND THEY HARASS YOU WITH RENEW, RENEW, RENEW. BEWARE OF AUTO-RENEWAL TOO. YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE AMOUNT FOR ANOTHER YEAR.


title: A $149.00 scam!

text:
I got the $5 for 12 weeks. Yesterday, I was shocked to see a $149 charge on my card. When I looked at the online subscription manager, it said it would charge the card again in November 2021 for another $149! Amazon customer service, which is usually great, was no help at all, despite 45 minutes of trying to explain the issue.

I love The New Yorker and long for the days of a $49 per year subscription.

title: Classic Trucks

text: If you are into up gardeing old trucks ,advertisements of modern parts(no old parts ) Very short articles about peoples trucks and in no hurry to receive your magazine--this you might like. Myself--I would NOT buy it AGAIN . It is a waste of money. I WOULD NOT buy it again.  When I get mine now--in the trash it goes.

text: So far, so good! It took a bit to receive the first issue, but then we got the second a few weeks later. My husband has been really happy with the magazine so far. I'll update if anything changes


title: Why would you buy here at double price

text: Do not know why anybody would buy it here. Bloomberg web site directly sells it to you for 19.99/year or 29.99/two years.


title: Read this magazine before buying anything!

text: Consumer Reports is the main magazine of the largest and oldest consumer organization in the world.  They have other publications and a great (not free) website.  They don't accept advertising or allow companies to use their reviews to market their products.  It's a great magazine to read for fun, and I wouldn't think of buying anything significant without consulting it, as it educates about features and other issues about products.  They're particularly good on new and used cars, and take one through the whole purchasing process.  One aspect I really enjoy is the amazing charts and tables.  And the inside back cover has hysterically funny and ironic 'mistakes' made in companies' advertisements.  One isn't always going to agree with their reviews -- individuals may value aspects of a product that they consider trivial -- but not reading their reviews to learn about what's out there would be a big mistake.


title: Best magazine in so many ways!

text:
As a child, I found this magazine when I couldn't pronounce "geographic", and adored the brilliant photography, scenery, strange-looking people and places, and was soon struggling to understand the text.  My imagination was seized by the Mayans, by the Caves of Lascaux, and always by dinosaurs and the other exotic plants and animals they showed me.  When I was a teenager my parents let me deface their old magazines to illustrate my papers on India, Japan, and anthropology.  I wanted to be an archeologist until I found out I'd have to learn a lot of languages, so history was a better choice for me.  Travel, geology, photography, and reading became passions.  Even as an adult, I sit down with the magazine and read it cover to cover the day it arrives, no matter what else I'm reading then.  Whenever I stumble on really old copies (the magazine is well over a century old), I read them to see how the magazine's point of view has developed.  This magazine has truly enriched my life.  My parents tried me out on various other magazines on nature, but this one is the real deal, and never talks down to me.

If you're interested in the world, the universe, the past, the future, and in life, this is the magazine for you.  Even though they have NG magazines for various ages of children now, a curious, eager child could appreciate the real one by ten.


title: TV Guide screwed up

text: TV Guide used to have complete 24-hour-a-day listings, plus terrific articles about TV actors, trends, etc. Then they remodeled it completely, and now they just aren't about listings, and their articles aren't as good.  Sure I can surf the channels on cable, but my provider doesn't list shows more than a few hours in advance, and surfing the web for schedule info is a big drag.  I stopped reading TV Guide when they stopped doing complete listings and having great articles, even though it still arrived every week for months.  I'd LOVE to go back to it.  It used to be something you could pick up really cheaply at the supermarket, for fifteen cents.  But I wouldn't mind paying if I was getting a real TV GUIDE.


title: Helped me potty-train my daughter

text:
I got this subscription for my daughter when she was 6 months old. She loved them. They're small enough to put in the bathroom, so I would put her on the toilet and we'd read every morning after breakfast.  The poems are catchy and the illustrations are interesting so I don't mind reading them over and over again. They are a higher quality than most children's magazines, too, which means my daughter doesn't tear them to shreds.

I would give Babybug four stars if they released an issue every month (12 per year rather than 9), or if they brought the price down to under $30.

title: Awesome Magazine, Forward-Looking,  Educational, Cool and Fun

text: I was shocked to see so many bad reviews for this magazine! My 8 year old daughter and I love this magazine - in fact I'm in the process of renewing it! I couldn't believe these people said "fraught" with ads.  I went and got my Cat issue to see.  I didn't remember seeing any ads - maybe I'm blind to them.  But we don't have a t.v. Wonder how many of these parents let their kids watch t.v.???  Behind the cover page, before the table of contents, there's an ad for new Hubba Bubba Gum, then there's an ad for a really cute white fluffy Build a Bear Workshop for $5 off, there's an ad for Dinosaur King Rule the World game (picture of a world map with dinosaurs), there is a sidebar ad for the book Holes, an ad for Crest, an ad for some new Nintendo or Wii game or something Mushroom Men I guess, sidebar ad for the book Eve of Emporer's Penguins, sidebar ad for the book Crossroads, and on the back cover is an ad for a new Disney show (The Suite Deck).  The ads are not inappropriate nor intrusive.  That makes 9 ads in 45 pages (including cover as pages since there's content and an ad.) Out of these 9, three are for books, one is for toothpaste.  Hardly detrimental. And well, the soft white fluffy teddy bear is too cute to leave out. Ok, I could do without the bubble gum ad and the two Nintendo ads, and since we don't have a t.v the Disney show means nothing to us. BUT when we read this - we were blind to the ads. Honestly, they are not intrusive at the least. And please...how many ads do your kids see on t.v.???? And your kids are not dumb. They should know an ad is an ad is an ad. They should know it's someone trying to sell something if they're old enough to look at this magazine, and especially if they're old enough to read it.  The articles are complete 21st century kid oriented - fun futuristic science stuff..always interesting animal stories (animal lovers will LOVE this magazine)..jokes..etc...this magazine is for today's kid that finds Highlights and literary magazines incredibly boring.  An avid reader may find it short, but so interesting they will still love it. (Quality, not quantity.) Additionally, the reluctant reader will love it because everything is in "snippets" so it's easy to read all or some without a kid feeling like they have to sit down with a whole article.  The kids will be reading and learning to grow up with a forward-looking mind, realizing nothing is impossible. It is a lively, colorful magazine. We get National Geographic and National Geographic Kids, we have tons of National Geographic movies so I know their quality.  And as a mother of six, 24, 22, 19, 17, 15 and 8 - I have a pretty good inkling of what kids like (and how they're all different). This is a KIDS magazine that is made for today's KIDS. I highly recommend this.

title: One Star

text: Too many ads


title: Very Informative...

text: Bought as a gift for family member who has a very green thumb. Very informative and useful information. 1st issue was a little slow getting there, hope the rest arrive on time.


title: Down to earth basics.

text: It really talks abput plants & lanscape design, not about designer homes and other unrelated stuff.  I like it!


title: magazine delivers great reviews and news

text: like the cartoons and the political dialogue


title: Sad to go--but...

text: When I first subscribed to this publication it was called "Body and Soul".  A few years ago it changed to "Whole Living".  "Body and Soul" was innovative and provocative and reached into areas that meant something--and that you could not find in about every other magazine on the newsstand.  "Whole Living" has very few of the elements that made me excited to see my new issue of "Body and Soul"  in the mailbox. Regrettably, after a decade of subscribing, the November 2012 issue will be my last.


title: Nothing like Readers Digest!

text: We love Readers Digest!!! Stories, jokes etc. it always gets read cover to cover.


title: Cover-to-Cover Running Excellence

text: Turned out to be an excellent surprise.  An outstanding running magazine.  I read it cover-to-cover.


THIS IS A SCAM. Auto renews with no way to cancel. Contacted Amazon and they stated that they don’t do the billing, the publisher does but there is no way to cancel, and no way to know if the cancelation worked u til the next year when it renews. Amazon has a dashboard which includes a button to renew but conveniently there is no way to easily cancel the subscription. I will never buy magazines from amazon again. They were garbage anyways, the articles as well as they paper/graphics quality are poor. You are basically paying for adds.


title: Perfect

text: They came in on time , and great reads


title: Good

text: This was a gift for my son-in-law because he likes the magazine. Was told it was a very good magazine.


title: I didn't like magazines until i picked up a Men's Health

text: Normally I would never buy a magazine, but one day someone at work brought in a Men's Health and I ended reading it cover to cover. Its filled with little facts and figures guys love to know spread throughout the pages in addition to the main articles, which are great by themselves. If your a man and can read, you will most likely enjoy this magazine.


title: Not much for the money.

text: The first issue of this magazine is short on articles. I would not pay this much for such a skimpy magazine on the newsstand.<br />Because this was a gift I really fell like I splurged.


title: Love it

text: Long before the Daily Show, long before the Colbert Report, there was MAD.  Great at skewering pop culture, never disappoints.


title: Always love this magazine

text: This is one magazine that I read cover to cover.  It keeps me motivated, which is necessary for long-term commitment.


title: Sidebar Fonts Tiny

I've read Family Circle on and off my whole life. On when I had the money or a coupon to get a few cents off at the grocery store. Last year, I subscribed to it again.

The February issue had some little decorating ideas which didn't really appeal to me. Too contemporary. An orange and gray office isn't my cuppa working enviornment.

I learned to size a flat screen TV to the distance away from it you'll be sitting and not to have it high up on a wall or over the fireplace. I'd always seen them over fireplaces on home shows and longed for this. Our mantle is high, and we only have standard 8' ceilings, so it wouldn't be proportioned right anyhow. Not that we'll probably ever get an LCD TV. We never had a big console TV in a cabinet. Never had a big old projection TV, and only got cable about ten years ago because we moved to where we couldn't pick up anything with an attic antenna. This is all about DH and what he feels is important enough to spend money on. Last year, when Miss 14 and I realized American Idol would be on the same time as The Biggest Looser, we snuck out and got a DVR. I had first changed our landline phone service from the traditonal to a bundle with the cable provider. The monthly savings covered the DVR. My husband says it's the best thing he ever did.

There was also an interesting article on why teens don't want hugs. Not that it told me anything I didn't know, but it was fun to read.

The fonts in the sidebars were a challenge to my myopic eyes on the treadmill. For this reason, I'm giving Family Circle Four Stars.


title: Still Heartwarming and Helpful After All These Years

text:
I used to love reading magazines before the turn of the century, when we got a PC and the World Wide Web sucked me in. Lately I've been disgusted with how much time I spend "surfing" nothing much and waiting for content to load. In a quest to recapture a kinder, gentler, simpler, happier time in my life, I've been stepping away from the computer and flipping open magazines.

I've read Woman's Day ever since I can remember, with the exception of 1999 through 2007 when I didn't subscribe to anything but two newspapers which my husband reads. Yep, I've stopped reading the newspaper too. The old one eyed monster on my lap had me in a stupor.

We have a new treadmill and I'm doing a thirty minute training session on weekdays, while reading magazines. I read the january 2009 issue of Woman's Day two days in a row. It worked out perfectly, cover to cover. I will say it seems thinner than I remember, but I used to be thinner so maybe everything is relative.

This month's topics include:
How to Cut Medical Costs
Deals & discounts! Save big Bucks on almost Everything
Special Health Issue 215 Ways to Be Healthier
Organize your Way to Calm
Good-for-You Food 42 Recipes and Tips
Eat Dessert, Carbs & Snacks and Drop Lbs.
Guilt-Free Desserts

I loved the pictures and short informative articles. The older I get, the less patience I have to read long passages. This suits the impatient little kid in me very well. I will be trying the frozen canned pears pureed with ginger recipe.
I give Woman's Day five stars.

title: Magazine for Food Network Fans

text:
What I first noticed about this magazine was its size. I was really impressed by how large it looked, could easily have smooshed that cockroach from Wall-E. Sadly it is about equal parts content and ads. The recipes are interesting and the articles are fun. I never found the recipes to be overly difficult, however some of the ingredients were not always easy to find.

The recent issue had a nice 'Create Your Own Stir Fry' that we really liked. It is set so that you can select certain ingredients from each section and create one of the 4 or 5 sauces and you have an amazing stir fry.

Another interesting article was about pizza. They had a recipe for a simple pizza crust and then something like 101 different pizzas. At first this sounded great, but really it should have been more like 35 different pizzas. Most of the pizzas were the same type but one would have something like black olives and the other wouldn't. So it looked like a lot, but it wasn't.

If you are a fan of the network I would highly recommend this magazine.


title: Just another magazine

text:
This magazine started out life in 2011 or thereabout as Listen -- Life With Classical Music and was the newest magazines covering classical music in USA/North America. However, they found life with classical music in USA is a road to nowhere financially and now the magazine is called Listen: Life With Music and Culture. The "new" Listen bears almost no relationship to the old one.

As a classical music enthusiast, I liked this magazine when it came out. It was a bit superficial in its coverage of classical music and flat out bland in its reviews (they were positive puff pieces rather than reviews.) But at least it covered the dying art form and took a chance that American culture would come back to it. Apparently it didn't.

Now the magazine covers all kinds of stuff and about the only classical music content is advertising and an occasional review of a recording.  There's still a little classical content but it pales to what the magazine once was.

Because I have no interest in popular, jazz or modern American music, it is somewhat difficult for me to determine where this magazine is going these days. In the current issue (winter 2015), the cover story is about someone named Robert Glasper whom they dub "the populist." There are other stories about travel, Cuba, the popular novelist James Patterson, an applied science piece on "hyperinstruments," and coverage of Conrad Tao.

 If you know these people and have interest, maybe this magazine is for you. I no longer have any interest  and will allow my subscription to lapse when it comes due.


title: Still my favorite but slipping

text:
Unlike competitor [[ASIN:B00006KYFC Fanfare]] magazine, American Record Guide (or ARG) has published classical music criticism continuously since the 1930s making it more a peer to England's [[ASIN:B00LY55SQQ Gramophone]] magazine. Also, American Record Guide dedicates plentiful pages of every issue to music in performance in America and elsewhere. This includes sections called concerts everywhere and another that focuses on opera. Fanfare provides no information on concertizing, but both publications -- which come out six times a year in the same size booklet sized magazine -- focus mostly on reviewing new classical recordings provided to the editors from manufacturers and distributors. ARG has even been known to review recordings provided from its readers.

I once thought ARG had an edge over other publications in terms of quality reviewing but I no longer believe that. This is, in the main, because many of its best critics have either died or left the magazine and the ones that followed them -- usually from universities, performers, teachers or similarly from the classical music establishment and not experienced music journalists -- are not as good as the ones they replaced. Also, their critics tend to be specialty critics and write reviews in one area.

There are exceptions, the most notable being Roger Hecht, an experienced critic that is the remaining star of ARG's roster. John Barker, a Baroque critic, is also about the best critic in the world in his area and several others -- Bill Gatens, another Baroque critics, Ralph Lucano who reviews opera, David Radcliffe who reviews historic recordings, Paul Althouse who reviews Romantic music, Alan Gimbel who reviews modern music and Mark Koldys who reviews piano and film scores among them -- are as good or better than other critics in other magazines. Steve Haller, another reliable generalist critic with a broad repertory, writes less now than I've known in 15 years subscribing to the magazine. I thought he went over to Fanfare at one point.

ARG's best critics know the history of classical recordings and are never overwhelmed by new artists, recordings or the flavor of the month. They are able to put these into perspective for the reader and compare them to recordings and artists from the past, perhaps better than in other magazines.

However, I find a growing blandness in the reviews I didn't find a year or three or five years ago, in part because some many the best critics have retired, died or left the magazine. One of its very best, John McKelvey, an expert in 19th century Romantic music, died in 2014. Also, the editor, Donald Vroon, has taken on a larger role reviewing recordings.

Vroon is a controversial figure in music criticism and is, at best, a paraprofessional critic. Where this defeats ARG most greatly is Vroon only reviews well-known music that everyone knows, depriving his readers of quality reviews on recordings of top 200 works. He had been around musicians many years and traveled widely yet it's clear from his reviews he has never performed music and has no understanding of music from a performance perspective.

His reviews are often laughably brief when he dismisses something he doesn't like. In these reviews (and he is not the only member of the cast that writes them), ARG becomes more akin to the two- or three-sentence reviews you might read on Amazon that essentially say "I love it!" or "It sucks!" No one should pay money for such reviews yet this magazine publishes them.

Vroon is an interesting figure in music but, sadly, an overwhelmingly negative force. He is among the throng that believe the world is going to hell in a hand basket, in his case because he thinks society it is in cultural decline. Anything he doesn't like shows up in the magazine somewhere and he authors harangue after harangue about what he says he "can't stand" like television, airport security, period performance practice and lite beer.

He recently published a book full of these diatribes that ARG has shamelessly promoted and -- again out of character for this publication -- one of its best critics wrote a lengthy softball review of the book. Had someone other than Vroon written that book, ARG's critics would have eviscerated it in writing. Vroon is also occasionally anti-intellectual and borderline racist.

On the plus side, ARG regularly reviews 21st century music in a feature called The Newest Music. I don't know another classical music magazine that regularly carries a section on 21st century music -- though I've known many that waste space on jazz, Bollywood and other non-classical interests.

I'd like to address three other things about ARG: cost, modernism and overview. First, cost: an ARG publication costs less than Fanfare and just about every other classical music publication and still delivers 200-300 pages of reviews and information with very little advertising. By contrast, Fanfare carries up to 600 pages per issue. However, many of the extra pages in Fanfare are front end interviews and reviews that endorse the plentiful pages of color advertising before the main reviews begin. There was 300 pages of this stuff in the last issue I read.

Second, modernism. ARG is about as old time as a publication can be -- white paper, black ink, two columns of text, almost no art and its webpage carries only a PDF of the current and immediate past issue available only to subscribers. By contrast, Fanfare, Gramophone and [[ASIN:B00006K5EF BBC Music  Magazine]] all carry a searchable database of older reviews (at Fanfare only available to subscribers) and Gramophone has a searchable database where you can find reviews in almost any issue of the magazine ever published. ARG is hopelessly outdated here -- but it costs less, too.

Last is overview, the greatest feather in ARG's hat. An overview is a special 10-15 page article that summarizes reviews of all recordings from a composer's entire discography, for a portion of a composer's production, or by group such as film composers, German opera, or English orchestral music. Sadly, ARG doesn't publish these very often anymore. You can still collect overviews by purchasing older hardcopy issues; it would be far more convenient if you could read them online or download them from the ARG website.

ARG proudly proclaims itself an independent publication that carries little advertising and is free of record promotion and hype. This is untrue, of course; all publications that cover classical music are part of the hype machine for that industry, ARG included. However, ARG is the only publication that carries no inane interviews with musicians and no slick advertising urging you to rush out and buy new recordings.

The truth is most classical music publications don't like to be critical of new releases. Neither do most critics. Some magazines, like the newest -- [[ASIN:B0058EM902 Listen : Life With Classical Music]] -- don't even attempt to be critical of new releases. When I read ARG, I know they are looking at every release they publish with a critical eye, sometimes even a critical eye jaundiced by a form of critical yellow fever. So, for its growing shortcomings, it still has a certain value.


title: The best British classical music magazine

text:
Here's the magazine that is what Gramophone pretends to be -- a magazine for serious (and not so serious) collectors of classical music that want extraordinary value for their money and don't want their time wasted. While Gramophone has moved into new territory in recent years -- such as spending pages delineating download technology and recordings and explaining why music in places like Fort Worth, Texas is worth 6 pages of text and color photography -- BBC Music Magazine has stayed true to the core interests of most classical music buyers and collectors.

Both magazines carry features on important musical developments; both carried features this year on the 150th anniversary of Edward Elgar. It's not what they both do that differentiates them, it's what they both do that's different. If you review any two issues of these magazines side-by-side you will notice a bunch of differences, all of which -- in my opinion -- make BBC Music Magazine the better one to buy. Here they are:

1. First, each magazine comes with a CD every month. Gramophone thinks, for some bizarre reason, that people want to listen to a talky interview between its editor and a performer and then settle for listening to a dozen or so 20-second bleeding chunks of mostly obscure recordings selected by its editor as recordings of the month. Meanwhile, BBC Music Magazine rewards subscriber with a CD that is either a single piece recorded in concert, a group of complete works recorded in concert, or, as in the most recent month (June 2007) a historic recording -- Malcolm Sargent's 1956 concert recording of Elgar's Symphony No. 1, its first release on CD. I'll leave it to you to decide which of these options makes the most sense for collectors -- a CD you can add to your collection and sell, trade, give away or play...or an interview comparable to listening to an announcer interview a professional athlete and some bleeding chunks half the duration you get at the average Amazon site.

2. Both magazine covers state with pride they review "120 CDs, DVDs & books" (BBC Music Magazine) and "160 CDs, DVDs, books and downloads" (Gramophone). A closer inspection shows nearly all BBC Music Magazine reviews are of recordings by major composers of famous and not so famous repertoire. Gramophone review CDs by major composers; they also fill their pages with reviews of CDs by people you never heard of. The current issue includes reviews by composers named Billone, Arhtur Benjamin, Arnell, FX Richter, Moondog (is that a composer?), Grange, McCabe, Alnaes, Jeffreys, Marsh, Tucapsky, and SS Wesley. Some of the collections they review feature even more obscure composers.

3. Gramophone dedicates up to a dozen pages per issue to reviews of equipment and offers at least a half-dozen pages per issue to columnists that ruminate on issues of little interest to American readers. These columnists often end up saying something in support of Gramophone magazine. That's not too self-serving, eh? Meanwhile, BBC Music Magazine dedicates a couple pages to reviews of equipment and has virtually no pages dedicated to opinion outside of its editor's column.

4. While Gramophone has been through two extensivee format changes in the past five years and is still something of a mishmash, BBC Music Magazine's presentation is clean, simple, presentable, easy to read, and contains about two-thirds the advertising pages as Gramophone. I know BBC Music thinks the latter area is a problem. To me, as a reader, it is a joy.

With BBC Music Magazine available and delivering an original CD every month not available anywhere else in the world, I wonder why anyone continues to subscribe to Gramophone. Both magazines are relatively expensive (sinlge issue cost is $8.75 for BBC Music Magazine and $8.95 for Gramophone) but you can get a trial subscription for a good price if you buy here, shop around, or watch your junk mail. I got a one-year subscription for $55 that way.

No American should cash in their value-added subscription to either Fanfare or American Record Guide to pick up either British publication. However, if you are in the market to expand your base of knowledge, it is clear to me the best alternative is to subscribe to BBC Music Magazine. Not every one of their monthly CDs is a keeper but they are all of some value. I throw away that CD I get from Gramophone every month, my testimony to its value. I'm going to do the same with it altogether when my current subscription ends.

I ordered a gift subscription for a friend last summer, and learned later that it was never sent.  Even after a confirmation email, no magazines went to her.

I reordered in January.  I got a confirmation email that promised my friend would get a magazine. I learned that they hadn't followed through with sending a magazine I wrote to customer service.  Their reply was that there was no such order.  After two weeks of generic replies from an electronic "customer service" department - I'm still getting the same messages and no relief.  At one point I offered to show them the confirmation email they sent me, the reply was that they assigned a new account number.  Then I got another generic email with no substance.  It appears there's no person involved in this organization that can help a customer.

I will not be ordering from this organization again.  I like responsiveness.[[ASIN:B002PXW1O8 Whole Living (1-year auto-renewal)]]

title: Better ingredients make better cooking.

text: Bon Appetit used to be my go-to magazine for innovative celebration recipes. I love the new (but not impossible-to-find) ingredients and a combination of flavors that always turns out right. Lately, however, I ordered the magazine for my daughter and was disappointed to find that MOST of the recipes have hard to find or just downright unappetizing ingredients. They work too hard to make everything original and have moved away from some of the already-impressive dishes like cheesecake in favor of more healthy-looking greens, etc. The last issue - Bon Appetit Healthy-ish - really irritated me, however, and sent me looking for a way to give feedback to Bon Appetit (a feature they used to have in the beginning of the magazine). I wish they would pay more attention to the ingredients and make the whole dish impressive rather than just throwing in new things that sound healthy. For example, making alcoholic drinks with ingredients like argula, chia, yogurt, beets and kombucha don't do anything to make the drink much healthier, they just make you want to drink fewer of them. Adding tahini (a sesame paste) to brownies doesn't make them any healthier than, say, peanutbutter makes a Reeses cup more healthy than a chocolate bar. Adding ingredients like Buckwheat to gluten-free waffles (page 60), just makes them taste bad! Nobody, least of all Bon Appetit, should be advocating using beef chuck in your recipes - chili is so much better with ground beef, but for heaven's sake don't use a bad cut of meat - the only worse cut is mock-chuck (a mistake I once made when I was first married and didn't know any better). I am tired of trying to find substitutes for ingredients like kumquat (p .74) and Persian cucumbers (p. 75). And finally, if you have a perfectly tasty dish like Mac and Cheese and you want to make it healthier, just stop. Adding cauliflower and tomatoes IS noticable. It DOES ruin the dish for kids. The amount of cheese and cream recommended can NEVER be considered as a healthy part of a balanced diet. Just let us enjoy our gourmet cheeses in an unhealthy bit of fun.


title: Perfect Perscription for Better Living

text: Of course the magazine and content is just what I expected; very informative and topics that I am interested in. But the digital copy exceeded my expectations! Easy to read an exceptional layouts!


title: If I could give 1/2 star I would because that is the worth of this boring magazine.

text:
Their show was wonderful.  The magazine is another story.  What a major disappointment.  To make things worse my subscription was not fulfilled.  Out of the four magazines in the subscription I received only two.  Contact with them has been a back and forth with no real resolution.  The most recent message promised me ONE MORE issue.  I wouldn't consider renewing my subscription since I haven't really finished my first one.

This is the worst subscription service I have ever had to deal with.

text: Not a very helpful magazine unless you are a gourmet cook or someone who likes to use a lot of different, out of the ordinary ingredients. Need lots of time and money to prepare some of these recipes.

title: Fashion and style par excellence

text:
I have been interested in fashion ever since I can remember - the top quality leather accessories that sprang up from the pages of glossy magazines, the feel of soft silk on my skin, the delicate but protective texture of a Burberry raincoat.  I could go on and on.

I remember the first fashion magazine that ever stood out among all others of its kind in my eyes was an edition of French Vogue, which featured Akira Kurosawa on its cover, just as he was putting the finishing touches on his masterpiece "Ran".  Although Vogue's French edition is still my favourite (closely followed by British Vogue, the resource used by my long time icon Princess Diana), now that I live in America, I subscribe to the American version of the magazine, which has been run for decades by alleged "devil" Anna Wintour.

These days Vogue still does not disappoint in its content, although the quality of the paper it is printed on could certainly use some improvement - I much prefer the glossy stock British "Red" is printed on.  But the magazine does count among its contributors with the best photographers out there, such as Patrick Demarchelier and my personal favourite, Annie Leibovitz, and the best writers and ad consultants in the business.  Within a year and a half apart, I can speak with high regard of my two favourite issues: the first one being the one from March 2009, which featured our brand new First Lady of the times, Michelle Obama, and the most recent one from September 2010, a huge, 700 page + issue, with Halle Berry on the cover, and companion of Vogue's annual event "Fashion's Night Out".  The former was entitled "The Power Issue", and it included in-depth profiles of philanthropists and world-known personalities like Queen Rania of Jordan, First Lady of France Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and Billionaire Melinda Gates.  Each of these women had a powerful message to bring to Vogue's readers attention, be it women's issues, political issues and aid given to less developed countries through entities like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  The pictures of Michelle Obama and the one of Queen Rania, in a white embellished Dries Van Notten shirt are my favourites.

The latter edition has one of the most luxurious collections of photographs and advertisements, but it also includes a very personal narrative about the consequences of the oil disaster in the gulf of Mexico by a writer that spent a large part of her childhood in it.  I enjoyed the profile on Charlotte Casiraghi, Princess Caroline of Monaco's daughter, in all her equestrian regalia designed by Gucci exclusively for her.

What I like about Vogue is that it is a publication that manages to cover every single subject, health, environmental issues, fashion, gardening, arts, film, books, architecture and, of course, fashion, with style and panache.  The photo montages of the advertisements are - literally - out of this world, and one can only imagine must have taken weeks to prepare.  Even minimalistic details have sent me more than once on expeditions to stores on the lookout for that one item I saw in the magazine, usually priceless due to its uniqueness.  Vogue still is, and I have a feeling will keep being, my personal favourite.  Now if they could only do something about the paper it is printed on...

This is a new concept in a beauty magazine and it is a rather interesting one.  "New Beauty" is published seasonally and focuses not only on the presentation of the best new products but also, and mainly, offers a vast array of resources for all types of plastic surgery and cosmetic
enhancement of both body and dentistry.  The options are broad, and range from the simplest dermatological procedures to the most advanced plastic and re-constructive surgery techniques.  The magazine counts in its panel of consultants with personalities like Dr. Nicholas Perricone, Dermatologist Fredric Brandt, and hairdresser par excellence Frederic Fekkai.

In its second half, "New Beauty" includes a full directory of providers who, true to the magazine's headquarters, are located mostly in the state of Florida.  Each specialist is offered a spreadfold in the magazine, which not only explains the techniques he or she performs, but also informs the reader of their personal background and past times when they are not in the office.

Twice a year, "New Beauty" is sold along with a test package of products for the convenient price of $19.99.  A gift card in the amount of $20 is part of the package, to be redeemed at the magazine's shopping website offering thousands of wonderful products - an unbeatable deal.  The latest issue came with a sampling of the new Lancaster sun line in the US.  One of the articles happened to be on one of my favorite topics when it comes to personal beauty and grooming, how to choose and apply a fragrance.

"New Beauty" is available in bookstores nationwide as well as in Nordstrom stores when in its sample edition.

text: What's not to like about this magazine. It is wonderful! I


title: Crochet today seems to be easy

text: The patterns in this magazine seem to be easy.  The subscription price was good so I ordered it, although I do not make the time to really work on it. I did not renew the subs. because I don't want too many mags lying around, will probably consider ordering for the holidays. But the mag is good, especially if you are a beginner, or any grade of crochet person.


title: Gorgeous and Inspiring.

text: Gorgeous large format magazine. Very inspiring images.

title: Cost Savings$$$

text: The subscription rate I found through Amazon was $8.00 cheaper than the renewal rate I was offered, as a long-time subscriber, through the publisher.


title: Great deal

text: I love RD and the price was great.


title: Wonderful!

text: I ordered this for my mom and she absolutely loves it! She thanks me for it at least once a week.


title: What a horrible, shallow magazine

text: What a horrible, shallow magazine, full of pointless celebrity pictures, truly ugly, outrageously expensive clothes and accessories, and half or more of the pages are ADVERTISING. I paid 99 cents for a three-month trial and I got robbed!


title: A zero-star earth-wasting rag used to transport advertising into your home

text: Earth-wasting rag used to transport advertising and distribute your address information. My first and last encounter with a Rodale publication. Articles are mostly fluff with limited depth. Far more useful information may be found online while you exclude the sales job; use your tablet or smartphone and get to read what you choose. This arrived unbidden in my home and I tried to cancel it through the magazine's customer service unit. Less than zero stars for them. Got a nice card that acknowledged my inquiry but stated that since the subscription was done through an "agency" that I may contact the "agency" at 8664411281. Google that number and see what there is to learn. Rodale's agreement with them is any cancellation actions must be taken through them. Not much of a customer service for me, but then again I must not really be Rodale's customer. I suspect I was not the first to send WH mag a note asking to cancel a subscription I did not order as the note from them came on a nice pre-printed card. I suppose the low quality of the published material is so widely known that few people actually seek a subscription and fewer do an annual renewal, so perhaps their business model uses the phony subscriber numbers generated by these "agencies" in order to induce advertisers and set advertising rates. Too bad the advertisers don't look into this as their good names are transported to a local landfill. As far as Rodale goes, for an organization that once seemed to communicate a heart for the earth, by not canceling my subscription they too are generating additional waste material.

text: This is one of the few things my husband will read.  Always has good articles.


title: Wifes Favorite

text: Certaintly my wifes favorite magazine she cannot wait each month until the next one comes out.  It is filled with great recipes and great ideas for the holidays.  We cook from it several times a week offering our family variety and a meal that is always better than the fast food option


title: Wife Likes It

text: My wife really enjoys this magazine commenting that most the recipes are doable and that in most cases the ingredients are available at out local rural grocery store


title: For the everyday cook that wants to be great

text: My wife loves food network watching it and reading it this magazine is even something I cant help but to look forward too each month it is sent.  Wonderful recipes that you don't have to live in a big city to find all type of hard to find ingredients.  We cook from this magazine weekly and it is always wonderful


title: The Best of the Best!!!

text: Readers Digestis a magazine I've had a "love affair" with, since I started reading at age 3. of couse, then, I mainly liked the jokes, cartoons, and stories about animals & kids.

text: Great magazines that has great articles about Irish Roots. It has helped with my Genealogy in researching my Irish Roots.


title: OK Receipes

text: not really impressed with the content, will share with family and friends


title: Times of quality have changed.

text: I haven’t viewed a RD magazine for years.  My, my.  The quality of just the magazine itself was disappointing.  From the days of gloss and substance, I received a magazine that was printed on a “newsprint” quality paper and cheap, inexpensive cover.  Very sad.


title: Five Stars

text: This is definitely a magazine worth buying! So much helpful information!!


title: Great pics.

text: Arrived ahead of schedule. Great pics.


title: Top notch magazine

text: Wonderful format.  100% top quality pics and recipes.


title: Nice magazine

text: A very good magazine!


title: Like it thus far

text: Received my first issue. Like it thus far.


title: Good price.

text: Great price. But it was difficult to csncle shipment when relocating.


title: EVERYTHING MUSTANG AND SHELBY

text: In my opinion, this is the magazine for late model Mustangs, GT500's, and Shelby's.  They do include the earlier models as well, but I appreciate that the majority of their pieces are on the late models, 2010 and newer.  Good tech articles for getting more horses out of your engine, better handling too.


title: Excellent car coverage for the money!

text: Motor Trend is a basic staple for anyone who would claim to be an auto enthusiast.  If your a woman looking for a great car magazine for the man in your life, you would do well to get him this magazine.  If you're a car crazy male, then you will be well informed of the latest offerings from all the auto manufacturers.  You won't find modified vehicles, they only review what the manufacturer offers.  I do have one complaint and it is that they tend to favor BMW in their comparisons.  But if you can read between the lines, you will be able to glean the info you need to make educated decisions when considering a new auto.


title: Great! Loves the magizine

text: This was a gift and I was told they read and love every issue! I have renewed the subscription again!


title: Disappointed.

text: I thought I was buying a different magazine. This doesn't have the depth of articles as the one I thought I ordered.


title: Always informative!

text: Great magazine with articles that interest a wide audience.


title: I do enjoy the tips and the fact that it's chock full ...

text:
I gave it four stars only because I'm a vegan, and there aren't many meat free/dairy
free recipes.  However, I do enjoy the tips and the fact that it's chock full of
information.


title: This seems like fraud to me

text:
1) Webpage says 4-6 weeks.  The actual time is up to 12 weeks, even for just a renewal.  Synapse says this yet they refuse to fix the webpage.  This seems like fraud to me.

2) The Kindle version, which is supplied by Amazon (Synapse and TV Guide have nothing to do with it they both say) is available for just about every possible device or app which reads Kindle except for the PC reader.  The Kindle group tells me there is no technical reason for this, it was probably just a mistake made by someone missing a check box on a form.

3)  I'm told that there is no Magazine Subscription department any more (contrary to the references to them on the website).  Nobody (4 tries) at Customer Service has any clue as to how to fix either #1 or #2.

Buyer beware!


title: I can eat it all!

text: I love that I can open a magazine and EAT everything inside it. It's ALL vegetarian!! The recipes are clearly written out and the photos are incredible!


title: Three Stars

text: Decent magazine at a great price.


I did not renew my subscription. The writing and topics just weren't that good.


title: Five Stars

text: Nothing better than Natl. Geo.


Natl. Geo. is still the best magazine available today.


title: Not the great magazine it once was

text: I used to love this magazine, particularly in the 1970s. Unfortunately, the writing is now bland and there is little incisive coverage. This used to be the premier bike magazine. I won't renew, that's for sure.


title: Best magazine -- bar none.

text: I've renewed my subscription 3 times. This magazine is always interesting and has great writers. I read it cover to cover every  month. Great magazine -- none better.


title: Only couple of books received!

text: Only received no more than 5 books do the whole year and each was only couple of pages.


title: Love this magazine!

text: Great ideas and recipes!


title: Good magazine

text: I give this subscription every year to my dad for his birthday and he loves it. I highly reccomend if you have an outdoorsman in your life.


title: Great interviews and music details.

text: Great articles on music. A must have for music collectors<br />I was a Rolling Stone magazine fan for decades and now Goldmine is my go to read.


title: Great design, mouthwatering recipes, good (but often pricey) wine suggestions

text:
I'm not a huge fan of magazines but figured I'd subscribe to some to see how they were. Food & Wine has some great stuff, and not as much useless filler as some other magazines. I will probably subscribe again.

I really like looking through this magazine. It's one of the ones I actually look forward to getting.

Only thing I haven't been thrilled about is the price range of the wines they feature. Some are reasonable but I'm not someone who buys $30+ bottles of wine on a regular basis. It's nice to have those types of recommendations for when I do, but it'd be nice to see more everyday accessible wines.

I don't use the electronic access; it was just bundled with the print subscription.


title: Great recipes, great design, easy to read

text:

title: FOR THE HIGH END OF LIFE

text:
One of my former friends got me hooked on this magazine and I do enjoy it. I enjoy reading about the designers and their lifestyles. What I like the most is the page after page of interesting and beautiful people in their clothes. The articles are in depth and not usually everyone's cup of tea. There is one section called SUZY which is okay at best. That section is geared towards the "upper crust" (in my opinion).
I like reading the articles about the "empire" of fashion such as Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Gucci, Versace, etc. I love how these people have set the world of fashion on fire and people like me enjoy what is out on the market.
I enjoy fashion and the fashion trends. I tend to shop at Versace, Hermes, Ralph Lauren and Neiman Marcus. I like to keep on top of the world of fashion. I consider myself a slightly above average fashion expert. I know what looks good and how it should be worn. Granted I am not that good at telling the difference between designer fashions, but I try.
I recommend this magazine for those who yern to be part of the "fashion conscience" elite. This magazine is not just for women. Even men, like myself, can appreciate beauty in all of its forms: including haute couture and the runway.


Arrived faster than projected. Great magazine with very little "filler" ads


title: Not the Same without the Wordless Workshop

text:
This magazine is just okay.  Definitely geared towards the amateur DIY-er, yet the estimation of timing for projects (measured in hammers) seems to fit someone with more advanced skills.  If you need step, by step, by step instructions on how to apply painter's tape around a window you are NOT completing that flower pot deck bench/closet organizer in one weekend.
The topics covered are repetitive (the feature articles rotate between bookshelves and closets with an occasional painting feature thrown in).
It's worth the low price for a couple of tips you can pick up here and there (see "Great Goofs" section and the DIYer Quiz), but lacks variety and deep content.


title: Now I know where to find the best taco and new sports car

text: I will not be renewing my subscription when it runs out.  Unfortunately there really isn't anything in the magazine that you can't find on other free review websites.  National news shows also often feature segments on Consumer Reports studies so you can get the same information there (and a month earlier).  The topics of the issues vary greatly.  I was interested in subscribing for reviews for home maintainence/repair items/tools and possibly baby items.  Each month is hit or miss (see "best fast food" issue).  Most issues I have received so far are very thin (at least get some more ads people).  If online access was included with the basic subscription maybe I would considering renewing it.


title: Wouldn't be without it

text: Have been reading this magazine for over 30 yrs. Always enjoy stories,tips,tried many receipes. Given it as a gift many times.


title: Beautiful magazine

text: This magazine is a must for Arizona residents.  Great photography of Arizona sites and information on places to visit.


title: The best

text: Love it


title: Fun receiving it in the mail

text: My bright 7 year old loves this magazine.  Fun receiving it in the mail.


title: Magazine is full of information on Southern living

text: Bought this for my wife and she can't wait for the next issue. Filled with recipes, travel, and events. Has many recipes, and decorating tips.


title: Won’t reorder

text: Didn’t find much that interested me in this issue.


title: Great magazine

text: My grandson loves this. Just got his first issue and is already crazy about it. Good learning tool.


title: I love Games!

text: The games and puzzles are hard, but mostly achievable.  That is why I like it so much; finishing feels like an accomplishment but isn't unattainable.  I wish it was published every month though.


title: Best Motorcycle Magazine of all time!!!

text:
It does not get any better than this. This is a commercial free publication supported by it's subscribers. The motorcycle and product reviews are not just vague veiled commercials, they are true unbiased in depth analysis of motorcycles and the gear that goes with it. No one does it better. I have been a long time subscriber to this and other motorcycle mags and this is my favorite. I get the others for the pretty pictures and editorial comments. If you ride motorcycles you owe it to yourself to scribe to this magazine now. A true consumer guide that will help you save money, get better value, expose you to new products, new laws and and give great advice for repair, purchasing, and events.

There simply is no better source for two wheel information anywhere at any price!

I added an extra year to my subscription during a special promo here on amazon and couldn't be happier! Would do it again and again!


title: Great Mag for Pizzeria Owners - but even better when it is free

text: As much as I love Amazon.com I can't let you pay $44+ for this magazine.  Yes it is a must have for the pizzeria owners (and those thinking of joining the biz) but don't buy it.  Go to the PizzaToday.com website and subscribe for free.


title: Readers Digest

text: This was a gift for one of my elderly friends who loves this magazine. Hey, anything that makes him happy!


title: Automobile Magazine

text: If you are a car lover than you have to have this magazine subscription which is way cheeper than the newsstand cover price. I love their new format and larger size which sets it apart form competitor auto magazines.


title: Four Stars

text: Great articles and product information every month!


title: Great magazine

text: My kids love getting National Geographic.  My daughter loves reading about all the different places and looking at the pictures.


title: POPULAR SCIENCE

text: I AM VERY PLEASED IT REMINDS ME OF THE MAGAZINE FROM YEARS AGO. I AM VERY HAPPY I HAVE STARTED A SUBSCRIPTION  TO IT AGAIN.


title: GREAT MAGAZINE

text: IT IS FILLED WITH PRACTICAL IDEAS ANYONE CAN PUT TO USE. I LOOK FORWRD TO RECEIVING EVERY NEW ISSUE. I AM VERY GLAD I SUBSCRIBETO IT.


title: Three Stars

text: Informative but couldn't get into the lifestyle.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine. I have subscribed since I was a child.


title: Its on continous renew

text: Best thing I can say about this magazine is that after many years, I still have it on continous renewal!


title: Performance Bike Magazine subscription

text:
if you ask me, theres no better motorcycle magazine being published today that is as good as PB.  great pictures, easy to read, and its a book that is geared towards regular people.  they do reviews on the newest bikes, but more often than not theyre showing bikes that are a bit older and modified by their owners.  and also more often than not these bikes are tricker than the brand new ones on the showroom floors.  the guys that write this mag also seem to have a sense of humour and that comes through in their writing.

being as this magazine is based out of the U.K., ill be honest and say i was rather sceptical about subscribing to it.  i used to get it at the local bookstores but one of them closed (borders) and the barnes/noble quit selling it.  its my favorite magazine so i figured if i didnt try id never know.

i bought the year sub and sat back and waited....and everything worked out well.

ive since received 2 issues of PB straight from England.  they ship them wrapped in plastic so both of them are in great shape.

if you like this mag and cant find it...bite the bullet and get it.  it cost a bunch but to me its worth it.
.


title: It'sFrench Voque

text: I can't read French or speak it, but French Vogue is all about the pictures as far as I'm concerned.<br />The photography is "outside of the box" so to speak. I look forward to every issue!


title: A few good tips. Some editions seem too much like ads ...

text: A few good tips.  Some editions seem too much like ads for products and not tips.  They are not price conscious in the projects so they often seem impractical.  I could by some ready made stuff of good quality for less than I could build some of the stuff they push.


title: Good for intermediate craftsmen

text: I like the level of writing, not too basic and not to out of this world. I like to save these for reference. Good projects in every issue.


title: For the dedicated off-roader

text: This is not the same rag that you find at the grocery steel it's clearly written for the true off road crowd.


title: Long-time Subscriber

text: I have subscribed to photographic magazines since about 1996, including Popular Photography (Pop Photo), Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug, Pro Photographer, Photoshop User and others, and it is my experience that Popular Photography is an excellent source for most aspects of photography - equipment reviews, how-to's for photographic technique as well as Photoshop  and Elements how-to's. This magazine tests lenses, cameras, and other equpment continually, publishing solid, useful reviews and recommendations every month. Shutterbug magazine is fine, but is aimed more at the pro -wedding photography, senior photography, and portraits, with an emphsis on the more involved equipment, such as studio lighting and even medium format and large format cameras. There are not a lot of articles aimed at the moderate-level photographer. Outdoor Photo is like an outdoorsman's version of Popular Photography - with a slant toward outdoor equipment and natural settings, etc. If you want to learn photography using today's digital equipment, in words that most everyone can understand, I absolutely recommend Popular Photography.


title: Cool Magazine

text: There are some articles that are not so new to some of us, but once in a while there is something interesting that keeps me paying this mag's subscription.


title: Best overall sail mag

text: Yah it's not like the 1970's-'80's version with more articles...but it's the best of what's around if you're interested in general sailing topics.  I wish they would "de-slicken" the format, save $$, and put the $ into deeper editorial content.  If you're interested in racing, boat fixer uppers, or small boat sailing there's other more specific rags to subscribe to.


title: great magazine

title: Entertaining

text: I've subscribed to scientific magazines that were over my head.  These articles are well written and are accessible to the average guy who likes to piddle through an article while he's on the can.  I got a six month subscription that has since expired.  I'm in no rush to renew it, but I might.


title: Best value for the money.

title: Big hit for my 11 year old son

text: My 11 year old son really enjoys reading this magazine & receiving it in the mail each month.  It's full of lots of real life topics & gives him an idea of other things going on in the world or things he can do.  Lots of creative hands on project ideas for kids to create as well


title: Too little design ideas

text: I used too get so many ideas from SL but now it’s just ads and recipes and I don’t cook. Oh well, I’ll keep getting because it’s a tradition in my circle.


title: Five Stars

text: A good industry publication for anyone interested in poultry.  Gives good information about what the fancy is about.

title: Summarizes the news

text: ...an easy, enjoyable read.


title: Good magazine

text: Good deal for a magazine. Enjoy doing home projects and this gives great ideas


title: Good magazine - just too expensive here. Read more..

text: Renewed last month for 2 years, $15! Received my first issue today and used the included Reminisce Extra order form for 2 years, $15. First off the subscription rates here are just too expensive. The Reminisce website is cheaper than this. BUT, that's where you get into the "auto-renew" by using your credit or debit card to order. Find the mail in form and send a check to avoid that. I let my subscription cancel mid last year and they continued to send me offers. I notice they have a new layout. Its alright, but I see in my first issue that they are going to improve on the photography. Can't say if it took effect on this issue or not, but it looked alright to me. Still different than the older issues. I enjoy it and I'm only 47.


title: Hello - Read about the Royal Family!

text: It's fun to read about the royals and other notables!


title: Five Stars

text: OK


title: Short, kids love pics

text: Seem short. Picture loaded, not as much content as I’d hoped for


title: As always, great

text: Treat yourself and subscribe


title: Not impressed

text: I have not been impressed with this magazine no sure if I like it or not. I ordered this last fall and still have not received an issue. Not sure if I like it or not but they certainly have major issues. It seems like I have wasted money on this that I will never see again, not sure how they are allowed to sell a product and then not deliver anything.


title: 9 yr old loved this subscription

text: My grandson really enjoyed his first issue.


title: inspirational but...

text: I have had a hard time, not only finding the ingredients for recipes and crafts, but also getting them to work out the way they claim they should in the magazine.


title: A must have for gardener's in the west

text: The rest of the country be...well, anyway, the problem with most gardening books and magazines is they seem to be speaking to people who live in the tundra for 1/2 the year.  Those whom God has blessed by ordaining us to live in the wonderful west do not have that problem.  So it becomes tedious each year to read about how to "winter" your garden when you are still weeding and caring for it and would probably fined for stopping.  This magazine is the answer to that annoyance.<br />Aside from gardening information they also have ideas for decorating and camping and other family fun things.  The only annoyance in this magazine can be found in their recipe section.  It is nothing if not gourmet.  To be perfectly honest, in CA I don't have time to be a gourmet cook.  The weather is too nice to be stuck inside doing all that work.  But, I do use their recipes once/month to have our "formal" meal.  And they are quite delicious.


title: Packed with usable information  for time-saving and planet conscious people

text: First magazine I've had that my husband reads before I do.


title: Five Stars

text: A great subscription for anyone in the industry and my bartenders love it.


title: makes me want to travel more😊

text: As a travel trailer owner myself I enjoy product information,  reviews, trip ideas, etc. .
