title: Fruitbomb, Fruitbomb, You're a Fruitbomb...

There is quite a cult of personality around Robert Parker, the founder of Wine Advocate.  It's hard for an oenophile not to be jealous of Mr. Parker, tasting fine wines from dusk `til dawn, and he's certainly revered.  Positive Wine Advocate reviews on relatively low priced wines have caused sellouts at my local wine warehouse mere hours after they'd sent out the email.
Wine Advocate is a serious magazine that looks more like a trade publication or hobbyist's classified page.  There are no photographs, illustrations, advertisements, or lifestyle articles.  Ever.  It suits the magazine well, however, and no one ever levels the same criticisms that are hurled at Wine Spectator (e.g., advertising skews the ratings, numerous vapid articles).  The beige pages are filled with enticing reviews and vintage summaries.  His coverage of the Rhone region is unmatched and his coverage of the Bordeaux, while controversial, also seems accurate to me.
That said, there are a few myths.  Parker himself claims that his 50 point system (which runs from 50-100) is better than the 20 point scale used in other publications (which run from 80-100, but are really more like 70-100).  Having said that, no one really pays attention to anything less than an 80 in either system, and those with a good local store using the point system to choose a wine (simplistic and narrow-sighted, but common) won't consider less than an 86.  Even so, I conducted a survey on the two web sites and Parker consistently rates more wines 95+, in some vintages up to three times as many (as a percentage of wines tasted), than Wine Spectator.  I don't mind this at all, though, and find that my tastes match Parker's fairly consistently and that his descriptions use certain words as a tip off as to what I won't.
A few criticisms that I do care about: Parker's distaste for Burgundies is legendary and in spite of the fact that the region has had mixed results for the past few years, I have tasted some truly amazing wines from the region, but they never seem to make his pages.  Of course, for the entire 2000 vintage, Wine Advocate has tasted a whopping 35 wines.  Perhaps they don't submit themselves for critique, but no comprehensive wine guide would be without them.  (He hired another gentleman, Pierre Rovani, to cover this region for him back in 1996.)  There is also a weird neglect of German Riesling.  This appears to be dissipating somewhat this year, but it's confusing nonetheless.
Coverage, at least of Italy, looks to be expanded this year with the hiring of a third critic (Daniel Thomases, devoted entirely to Italy says the bio).
It bears mention that the articles from this magazine appear on the web site (which has its own, separate fee) thirty days after the paper issue is mailed to subscribers.  The magazine is also more expensive.  Thus, the only advantage to the magazine, aside from being able to bring it to the store, is that you get a slight jump on those who only subscribe to the site.
Whatever medium you choose to view it in, this is my preference for wine publications, despite its shortcomings.


title: Review of the Decade, 100 points!  Oh please...

text:
Wine Spectator is the most prominent and widely available wine criticism magazine and as such it has been endlessly pilloried.  Well, they deserve it - one recent issue's cover story was "Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman, Hollywood Power Couple!"  How ridiculous can you get?  The pages are littered with articles devoted to wealthy Californians and their extensive cellars; one recently spent an entire article on a rich man who helps his rich friends by cataloguing their cellars on, gasp, a spreadsheet!  Yeah, it's like that.
Wine Spectator has also been criticized for the way it uses hyperbole to the extent that no one believes them when they're right anymore.  Oenophiles now wait for Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) to back them up before believing it.  "Best Vintage since 1961" and "Vintage of the Century" and "Vintage of the Decade" are far too common copy, coming once a year or so.
The vintner profiles hold some interest, but don't fool yourself, you read this magazine for the scoring.  Wine Spectator has the resources to taste more wines than any other English language publication (that I know of) and despite some strange results, are generally good at evaluating the bottles in question.  As I've noted elsewhere, in spite of the hyperbolic headlines, the Spectator is stingier than Robert Parker for rating wines "Outstanding."  The caveat is that a lot of wines get bunched up in the 84-86 point range, although I suppose that matches my experience.
By comparison to the Wine Advocate, I find Wine Spectator scores much more inconsistent.  This makes sense because the Spectator has a larger staff and it's difficult to establish a common benchmark across all of the offices and tasting panels.  In their favor, they do review a fair number of lower priced wines, more than their aforementioned colleague, and their reactions are more or less in the ballpark as to where I'd put them if I were doing the reviews.  But know when using the Spectator to allow some give on either side, a confidence interval, if you will.
It might be terrible that a magazine wastes its first three quarters of every issue on mindless fodder for social climbers.  It might be tasteless that they spend so much time promoting the notion that wine is an investment, instead of an immensely enjoyable consumable commodity.  But those of us with big brains and modest credit ratings know that there is much to be salvaged from the back of each issue.  We also know that Parker is the first point of reference.


title: Superb magazine but I have one Major complaint

text:
I love Electronic Gaming Monthly but I find it unfair how they review now these days.  Now I'm going to make this review short and swee tsince this is pretty much only complaining about there last issue which was also known as there "BEST REVIEW ISSUE EVER"

I must say I totally agree with the previous reviewer saying that they hype some games to death especially Halo 2.  That's pretty much the game they hyped for the most and I must say I find it B.S.  They hype the game for years and they all some how give it 10,10,10!!!  Same with San Andreas which has the same rehashed level desighn and everything(I'm not trying to hate on it but I must say the way they review is a lil overrated)..

I mean two games they've bin hyping for ages, Halo 2 and GTA SA, and they both get all 10's!!!  But games like Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metroid Prime 2 didn't get too much hype so they gave those games 9's and 10's..  I'm not saying they give it good review for hype I just find it unfair that they always blab about the game they're dying for but ultimatley gets a 10.

I thought Metroid Prime 2 should have atleast gotten a 9.5,10,10 Not a 9.0, 9.0 and if it hadn't of bin for Halo2's Multiplayer and Live it would have atleast gotten a 9 or 8...

They should buck up and learn how to do better reviewing instead of overhyping something(and for the love of god who ever reviews this the next time they see it don't wyn and bash on me just cause I'm giving my opinion)

title: TIMELY MAGAZINE

text: WITH THE IDEA OF WATCHING WHAT YOU EAT AND HOW YOUR FOOD IS PREPARED, THIS MAGAZINE IS A NECESSARY ADDITION TO YOUR HOME READING.  MANY RECIPES ARE EASY AND MOST ARE VERY GOOD.  ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE COVERED IN THIS MAGAZINE.  THE PICTURES ARE A HELP TO ME IN SEEING HOW A DISH SHOULD LOOK WHEN IT IS FINISHED.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET SUBSCRIBING TO THIS MAGAZINE, AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL BORROW IT AND FORGET TO RETURN IT.


title: Dr Oz was wonderful until Walmart became a sponsor

text: I have loved Dr Oz for years, but now with Walmart as a sponsor it's disturbing!!! So after my subscription is up I will not renew, plus don't watch the show much anymore because of their association with Walmart. We thought Dr Oz was one person we could trust until the show became involved with Walmart who was also on the news for selling vitamins that didn't contain the actual vitamin it was supposed to be...just fillers. Plus the way they treat their employees, etc. So sad, losing someone we so trusted!!


title: Just what we need..

text: A magazine that balances and inspires.. not to escape from the challenges of the times..  It helps yjer reader to understand and face the challenges with hope and determination.. with examples of the good that can and are being e  accomplished. It is a gift!


title: Not the same magazine that I loved

text: This is just a recipe book and most of the recipes I'm not interested in. I was so excited to hear Cooking Light magazine was going back. It is "new and Improved" but not in my opinion. I can go get recipes from a cook book or on line. I loved all the other articles. So beware if buying this subscription. It is just a recipe catalog not the same Cooking Light that I grew to love. Sometimes the old style is better. They could have just changed up and modernized the look not the whole magazine. Not ordering this one again.


title: My favorite interior design magazine!

text: While the articles and photos are great what I LOVE about this magazine is it helps me figure out colors: how to use them, how to combine them, how to incorporate a favorite color into your designs, examples of the variations of different shades, and examples of homes that have specific color schemes.


title: There are a lot of English influences found here

text: Love this magazine — always provides a fresh perspective on decorating.


title: I like it and now I can carry it around in ...

text: As I said about magazine before, I like it and now I can carry it around in my handbag.  When I go to the gym with my granddaughter, I can read while she practices.


title: fascinating topics

text: great value


title: Enjoyable!

text: I enjoy getting this publication every week.  It keeps me updated about things to come.  I look forward to getting it each week.


title: Recipes were nice.

text: I felt there just not information I was interested in!  It made living in the country is just not interesting!


title: Excellent Scottish magazine

text:
"Scottish Life" is an excellent and exceptionally well-written magazine.

Autumn 2011, the latest issue, contains eighty pages.  In this issue, two of the main features are regarding Scottish Art, including Andy Scott's monumental art pieces and the newly restored and expanded National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.  Both art stories have nice photos, (small and large), and the magazine in general has a fair amount of photos.

There are also short and long stories about ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Different stories involve haggis, bagpiping, whisky, the changing politics, dancing, bird migration, and a village.

Departments include music, books, news, and "Notes From The Isles".  The book department has an interesting book review about the historical and prolonged feud between the MacDonalds and the Campbells.

I highly recommend this magazine.  It is well worth reading.

title: Great mag, but way OVERPRICED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

text:
I've been lifting weights for over 25 years. Read well over 100 books, subscribed to every muscle mag out there. Been there, done it all.
I did not need any of these mags to put on muscle, so you don't either.

I do like this magazine. It is kind of hardcore and definitely is written for the 'juice head' type bodybuilder. And that is fine. However, this rag is filled to the brim with ads and product promo BS, just like every other mag out there. And that is fine too. But don't try to hustle me out of $50!!!!!!

Everyone knows the game with magazines these days - have high subscriptions validated by REAL billing addresses so they can sell ADVERTISING space and make the real money! Mags do not make profits with subscribers, the profits come from ADS! That is why Muscle and Fitness can be found for as cheap as $5 for a whole year subscription! They want to keep the numbers high to sell ads and product to the readers.

Muscular Dev is no different but they are just sticking it to the subscriber by charging $50. Their market is mostly the 14 to 25 year old idiots that still believe PRO level bodybuilders do it NATURALLY without roids and won't hesitate to give over $50 cause mommy and daddy are still housing and feeding them.

I like this mag, but the price is a complete and total rip-off!


title: Great magazine, HORRIBLE PRICING!!

text:
There are several Linux magazines out there, but this one, Linux Format is probably #1, Linux Pro Magazine is probably #2. However, they are priced ridiculously high...about $150 to $200 per year!!! NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY!!

It is more than about time the Linux FORMAT started offering subscriptions without the DVDs or even better - an online .PDF version to lower the costs. Until then, I will stick with the MANY online resources and FREE online magazines out there.

Linux is about freedom and being advanced...being cutting edge and thinking outside the box, yet Linux Format continues to "stay the course" and only offer a subscription with DVD. The magazines pile up, the DVDs never see the light of day (how many distros can you possibly test drive in a year for God's sake???) and your money gets wasted.

As far as I am concerned and as much as I love the writing behind Linux Format, I think the executive people behind it are ripping us all off.


title: One of my favorite fashion magazines....

text:
I'm a big fashion magazine fan - having subscribed to magazines like InStyle, Lucky, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Elle in the past several years.

People Stylewatch - in addition to Instyle - is one of my favorites. It's a rather thin magazine, but what you get is lots of good, useful content that is similar to InStyle (minus the gobs of advertisements).  Stylewatch appeals to the readers of People magazine (which, I admit, I do not read) and fashionistas who enjoy reading up on fashion, trends and celebrities.  What I like about Stylewatch is that it doesn't waste your time with pages of ads, editorials or articles. It gives you pictures, pictures, and more pictures as well as a good look at current and upcoming trends and some great comparison shopping/tips for budget-minded fashionistas.  Instead of showing you gorgeous pictures of paper-thin models wearing outfits you couldn't afford, it shows you what celebrities are wearing and how you could wear a similar outfit for much less. It also gives you current trends and outfits in various price ranges, which makes it a magazine that proves that you don't have to make a million bucks to LOOK like a million bucks.

I usually satisfy my thirst for fashion articles by reading Harper's Bazaar or Vogue, but for my quick-fix up-to-the-moment what-are-the-celebrities-wearing-these-days look at the trends, as well as my source for great fashion ideas and tips, I go to People Stylewatch and it never disappoints.

text: Found a needed pattern


title: given to me as a gift

text: I received a copy of this periodical for my birthday with the promise of a subscription if I like it. Its selections are fascinating, and its photographs and illustrations are very well done.  There are poems and essays included from award-winning writers from around the world. Anyone who is interested in literature and world culture will find it intriguing. Make sure you have paper and pen by your side to jot down authors' names for further investigation. Of course I will tell my husband to get me a subscription so that I can enjoy my birthday present all year!


title: Longtime subscriber

text: It's the magazine for anyone interested in movies, TV, books, etc. Great articles, reviews, photos. I look forward to it's arrival every week.


title: Yes you can

text: Nice magazine... I've seen cool stuff... and I've always asked myself..."Yeah.. I could make it, but will I?". And with the help of this magazine the answer is...Yes..I Can!"


title: Excellent Cooking Resource

text: I love Cook's Country.  I've made many of the recipes and they are reliable and excellent.  This is one of my go-to cooking resources.  Kudos!


title: It takes a month to get a magazine sent on a subscription?

text:
Really? In this day and age? Completely unacceptable -and now after dropping $200+, I have to go and hunt down the Christmas issue (when I ordered it right after Thanksgiving)? These advocates of free market efficiency need a long look in the mirror.

But it's an essential read. Not every week, since they do tend to coast a fair bit these days, but some special supplement or other is going to more than pay for the year's sub. I save the old ones to give away -how many mags can you say that about?

text: If you like out of the ordinary foods this book is for you.

title: Excellent Magazine.

text: Great magazine for whiskey lovers for amateurs and experts alike.  Whether you prefer Scotch, Bourbon, Irish, Japanese, or any other world whiskey, this magazine tries to cover the gauntlet. I just wish it were bi-monthly rather than quarterly.


title: Tooooo much of everything!

text: I  was disappointed in this magazine because it tries to cover EVERYTHING and doesn't really focus on just a few issues and then covers them thoroughly. Too much "we're going  to show you how to EAT, dress, decorate and THINK. And too much "exalted" consciousness raising. Doesn't know what it wants to be, fashion mag or self-help?

title: Great mag for waiting the room, carpooling etc. Helps pass the time.

text: I found it here at $5.00 a year special. Perfect reading for a waiting room. Fits great in my purse. The initial delivery was as estimated and its reliable each month. I check out monthly specials for magazines in our home. I also renew when the magazine goes on special again. It just adds to the length of subscription. Also subscription are easy to managed right here on amazon. I've changed addresses a couple of times since the magazines have started. With no problems.


title: Great mag for older teens! Warning to parents

text:
The teens love the magazine in our home. I found it here at $14.95 a year special. The initial delivery was as estimated and its reliable each month. I check out monthly specials for magazines in our home. I also renew when the magazine goes on special again. It just adds to the length of subscription. Also subscription are easy to managed right here on amazon. I've changed addresses a couple of times since the magazines have started. With no problems.

I ordered an additional copy so that one can be put on the wall. The kids like to collect the covers.

Warning to Parents- The is always a lot of photographs with artist that feature them smoking when tobacco or other substance. Also a lot of tobacco ads inside. Not recommenced for kids under 14 because of this reason.


title: My granddaughter loved it

text: I ordered this magazine for my granddaughter because schools were closed and I wanted something she would enjoy  and find challenging.  This magazine fit perfectly.  It is age appropriate and she looks forward to every issue.  She usually reads it with her mother and they both enjoy it.


title: Great magazine

text: It's got a little of everything. I enjoy this magazine


title: Very informative

text: Found the magazine in a dentist office. I find even though I have been doing projects for many years, the magazine has a variety of projects and great around the home repair tips. It also has a good review of products used around the home.

title: Short but Sweet

text:
This magazine is unfortunately very slim and I am able to finish reading it much quicker than I wish.  Forunately, though, the content that is included is some of the most trusted PC review content I have ever encountered.  Other PC magazines just feel like thick advertisements.  I rarely trust the reviews found in other magazines because they seem suspiciously biased towards particular manufacturers.  Not so with this magazine.
When this magazine says a particular product is good, I pay attention.
As proof of the magazines impartiality, I have seen more than once a case where a product prominently advertised in the magazine actually receives a poor review within the content of the magazine.  That kind of credibility is worth its weight in gold and is the reason I continue to get this magazine.
I don't necessarily buy the products they talk about, but I use this magazine to at least keep my finger on the pulse of the cutting edge in PC computer hardware.
There are a lot of ads, but they are mostly gathered together at the end of the magazine.  They are actually the only PC ads I pay attention to.  You will find a wide assortment of products listed for sale and in a way it is like looking at a catalog of products.  When I am done reading the magazine, I always spend a good amount of time browsing through the ads getting ideas on new hardware purchases to consider.


title: Fun to look at but will send you to poor house

text: Lucky is a great magazine to look at and then look at again.  It usually takes me a couple of hours to look at all the fashions.  I have discovered some great fashion websites because of the magazine but other than that I can't say I can actually go out and buy anything they feature.  Even the up and coming designers are out of my price range.  They used to feature affordable fashions but now they seem to have fallen in love with the name brand or boutique stuff.  Plus, can we please have these New York magazines stop talking about H & M.  There is no H & M stores where I live.  So stop toying with me.


title: Great Magazine

text: This is a fantastic magazine for someone that travels to Colorado frequently or dreams of living there one day.  I look forward to each magazine.


title: never came!!!

text: DO NOT ORDER THIS ON AMAZON!!!!!! I placed the order- was charged- but it never came! I never had a problem with amazon! I contacted them and they were nice but had me contact acts and activities company who then told me they do not offer subscriptions anywhere except through themselves. so I was out $25 :(  was not happy.  this magazine is amazing though!

title: 🔺🔺 TERRIFIC AUTO MAG...SOLID KNOWLEDGE FOR 'REGULAR & $$ SUPER PREMIUM'  AUTO LOVERS

text: I really enjoy this auto mag.  Excellent knowledgeable writers about good to know auto topics. It does seem to cater to the high-end auto buyers 'somewhat'. I still enjoy reading about $100,000+ autos even though I would get financial headaches from purchasing one. I like the direct comparisons it does in every issue of 'regular cars' by class. They do a 6 month review in each issue of approx 6 different makes/models of cars they were loaned to write about-- a solid 6 mos of driving experience & reviews--each issue like this case, will feature approx 6 totally diff cars. Great way for potential buyer's feedback knowledge.  I am going to get a new car wihin the next 6-9 mos & "MT" will be of big help to me.  Many other car related articles to read. Never disappoints.....and I give it 5 stars!.....excellent pricing I received as well from my Amazon Prime membership. Go Amazon..I am a steady customer and mainly a happy one overall....however, I just 'knocked on wood' when writing this review. 😄


title: Book

text: I like it and at a good price.


title: mmmm good

text: Just got my first issue and loved all the pictures of the food. Now i have<br />two small kids and most likely wouldn't cook most of the food in the issue, but it doesn't mean i can't drool over it all. Overall a great magazine if you LOVE to see great food and read a few articles.


title: Still worth it after all these years :)

text: I have every copy of Just Cross Stitch from the premiere issue on, collected over the years.  While the projected offered skew toward the traditional, they have definitely kept up to date on style with at least 1-2 projects per issue.  I am very happy with their use of designer Kathleen Berlew in recent issues.  I also enjoy the designer spotlight feature in each issue which always contains a project by that designer.  This is one of the best (and one of the few) cross stitch magazines available from the US.


title: Excellent magazine!!

text: I subscribe to several different magazines and this is by far the best, I look forward to reading every issue. The articles are very good, I've saved every copy since the very beginning, they're like reading a good book!! I recommend it highly if you're interested in mindfulness.


title: Harper's Bazaar

text: I enjoy Bazaar Mag because it does cater to the "older" woman! I would like to see more in the way of articles concentrating on the latest techniques, products for women.


title: Elle Mag

text: Really enjoy this magazine! It gets delivered on time each month; the price was right! I enjoy the articles and features and being up-to-date with the latest fashions!<br />Thank you!

text: I have always enjoyed "This Old House," it is one of the best of the house renovation magazines and I am a house renovation enthusiast.


title: Beautiful Photography

text: My friend reads it late at night to help with her insomnia; I read it for its photography.  Actually, we both enjoy the photography.  It is a bit homey, but its title tells you exactly what it is -- an unpretentious but really enjoyable magazine with great photography


title: Great Relaxation

text: This is a relaxing journal to read -- not complex, easy to enjoy, but not a fantastically helpful horticultural experience.


I have subscribed to Sunset for many years, but I there become increasingly less happy with the content.  My interest is in gardening and house renovations and Sunset seems lately to put more stress on vacations, places to visit and recipes.  Again, my rating is based not on the quality of the content but on my own interests.


title: A quality well written magazine covering the world of watercolor

text: The artwork is superb, and fresh. Printed on quality paper.


title: "Best Gift Ever"

text: I buy this for my husband each year for his birthday. He claims it's the best birthday gift he receives, and devours each issue as it comes to our mailbox. Very addictive -- if you love books!


title: The magazine title says it all

text: Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, this magazine provides ideas and the planes to carry them out.


title: Delightful (non-digital) treat

text:
Having read SF for years and, having collected many collections of SF, I am thoroughly enjoying not only accessing some of the latest stories and essays about the genre, but as the newsprint is super light, I throw it in my bag or briefcase or satchel and it adds only a negligible amount weight which becomes a delicious break-time plunge into different worlds and visions and the urgency demanded of some people to share their dreams. I use digital media almost all day every day, thus having in my hands the feel of paper, the sound and texture of turning pages is an absolute treat and restful for the eyes.

BTW, the soy ink used to print does not bleed or smear as traditional ink does in from newspapers.


title: Lovely and inspiring

text: We aren’t traveling much these days and I used to pick up home & garden and lifestyle magazines in every country I visited in a year. I missed them: so for much less than the price of a plane ticket, I ordered subscriptions to several like magazines before Christmas. Now I can check in on trends in the UK, France, Germany and Japan. Saves my sanity and provides ideas and recipes to keep me entertained. Worth ever penny.


title: Can’t Travel, so….


title: Extremely hard to contact publisher! Never received product!

text: I had to cancel and reorder the first time I ordered this magazine for my wife, a French college professor,  to receive any product and the second time I subscribed I was charged but never received a single issue.  My wife enjoyed the magazine a great deal but she cannot enjoy it if she never receives it.  Impossible to contact publisher in English and/or French, never responded to inquires.  Amazon was good about refunding the first six issues missed but no such luck with the second six.  Wish the publisher would get their act together if they would like customers in the states.


title: no contents

text:
My 6 years old daughter has been reading this magazine for 2 years, after one year of the 'little kids'.  She still enjoys reading it, and looking forward to it in the mail.  However, she always finish the whole issue in 10 minutes.  That's the all the readable contents, including anytime she needs to memorize whatever she didn't know before.

I figure she likes it because 1) it's something of her own, among dozens of magazines and journals for her parents. 2) it's really easy to read.

I don't like it because: 1) The quality of the magazine does not resemble a tiny bit of National Geography, from photos, to print, to paper it uses to bounding.  It's like cheap brochure printed 40 years ago, when cheap 3-passed printer can't print one line of red on top of one line of blue.  Even 40 years ago, good printer would have produced better result than this magazine.  There is little photos, among lots of silly illustrations.  The few photos it uses look like they are taken with $10 Kodak one time camera, and processed in places cheaper than Wal-Mart photo center.

2) There is no contents.  No experience, no knowledge, no whatsoever.

I may still renew it, as long as my daughter still reads it, and as long as I still can afford it.

title: Great guide for watching TV

text:
I have been a lifetime subscriber to Entertainment Weekly. I used that magazine as my reference as to what to buy for music and what to watch. The publication is now a monthly one and not big on disappointing reviews.

My mother-in-law passed away, and we started receiving the balance of her TV Guide subscription. When I saw it, I was like, who needs a paper version of what's on TV, and besides with so many apps, does it matter what's on channel 10 anymore.

Whoa, I could not have been so wrong. TV Guide covers everything on TV: streaming channels, regular cable, apps..the whole thing. It has brought to my attention many shows that I would never have seen or considered, given the enormous amount of available content to watch today.

While they usually steer away from negative reviews, they have a "what to watch" section and a "new to streaming "section" by channel, so if you only have Netflix, you don't have to look at the apps you don't have.

Highly recommend it if you watch any video content!


title: Four Stars

text: Gift--I assume it was fine.


title: Great

text: Great magazine


title: One of the better ones in the genre

text: As a young women's magazine, it does a good job of balancing the "essentials" (sex, fashion, career advice, health) while providing humor. Definitely less focused on the how-tos of sex than some similar magazines, which I prefer. Great at covering recent, relevant, health issues.


title: Terrific!

text: I really enjoy this magazine.  It's loaded with great, useful articles, without the millions of ads in other mags.  Worth the price to me.


title: How do I unsubscribe?

text: The kids have outgrown this and I tried to unsubscribe, but haven’t been able to.


title: Worth it

text: The free tote bag was really tiny though - looked bigger in the pictures. That said, Bon Appetit is great.


title: More meaty than Wizard

text:
While sections like "Longbox Manifesto" and "Ask Mr. Silver Age" will certainly appeal to long-time comic book lovers, CBG is a magazine that, month-in and month-out, will contain new and fresh news and stories that you more-than-likely didn't read elsewhere.  The comic book and graphic novels reviewed each month are more than just Marvel and DC books, too, which is nice.

Wheras Wizard simply regurgitates the same news found on the various comic book sites online, Comics Buyers Guide is refreshingly new.


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine. Specific and helpful for writers.


title: Five Stars

text: Looking forward to getting this subscription!


title: lots of helpful info.

text: helpful info.


title: mostly advertising

text: I like reading about animals and getting help with problems.  I 've only received 2 copies. The first was useless and the 2nd was mediocre.


title: Growing strong girls

text: This magazine is a mother's dream.  It offers healthy living advice, crafts, stories of strong girls doing amazing things.. and nothing that would concern me about my daughter worrying about her self image.  No information on dating, weight loss, romance, etc.. Lots of information on how to grow into be a strong independent woman. Start when they are young - age 8 or 9 and continue until they are in high school.


title: Easily readable, fun facts, wide-age range

text: I am very surprised to see middling ratings on this magazine.  We have subscribe to this magazine for 7 years, since my oldest was 8.  Although I still have a 9 and 11 year old who are the primary readers, the 15 year old still reads every issue.  It is easily readable for the young reader who can manage simple chapter books but prefers factual information over fictional novels.  The best reader is one who enjoys reading books on science or almanacs and kids' encyclopedias.  It has vivid pictures, short interesting articles, activities, interesting facts..  A nice magazine for the 8 - 12 year olds that have little quality choice in the magazine industry.


title: not so as interesting

text: very very busy, hard ti find the interesting thing, to much of anything not a single theme to catch interest of a child for longer than a second


title: Fun to read for anyone interested in the latest technology.

text: I just recently started getting this magazine, and I love it.  It is always filled with interesting articles about various scientific discoveries and inventions, and keeps me up to date in the scientific world.  This would be a perfect gift for anyone who seems interested in science, especially for ages twelve and up.  Younger children may not understand everything in the magazine, as there are some articles that are bit beyond me, but the majority of the articles are easy to understand.


title: Five Stars

text: Lots cheaper than renew my old subscription!


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoy the magazine. Subscribe from time to time over the years.


title: Great magazine

text: We have collected  NatGo over the years and subscribed several times. They are always interesting and informative and the photographs are super.


title: Great variety of book reviews and feature articles

text: I've been a subscriber for 6+ years, and I love the article that reviews all of a particular authors works.  The 'Have You Read" section always contains some books that I've never heard of, so I learn about some new book(s) that interest me.  Only complaint is there is no e-format of the magazine available, only paper.


title: What happened?!

text: I've subscribed to Saveur for over 10 years and, as others have noted here, the magazine has recently undergone a radical revamp and not for the better. Everything I loved about Saveur is gone and the last 2 issues have gone into the trash. I won't be renewing if this keeps up.


title: Fav Magazine

text: This is a great magazine.  I do a lot of waiting in doctor's offices and such and this is my go-to magazine.  I finally caved and got a subscription because I love all the decorating ideas, recipes, fashion, and housekeeping hints.  Honestly, I usually skip all the other stuff, I just like the useful information.


title: Five Stars

text: One of the few magazines that I don't rush through in one sitting.


title: Thieves

text: I recieved one magazine and then it stopped coming. Total ripoff.


title: Great gift idea

text: I bought this for my daughter who moved to Austin.  She really likes the content.  It gives her a good idea of what is going on in the city.


title: Blue Collar Guide

text: Covers the equipment that I can afford and am interested in.


title: Nothin' Special

text: Its ok, but nothin' special. For the money, I would have expected a something a little classier. Kinda looks like a high-school news paper. No product reviews, and very little in the way of instruction. Probably won't renew.


title: Great subscription

text: Great magazine!


title: Helpful Articles for the DIYers

text: Full of great articles. Great for any family who does things themselves around the house to save money.


title: Ok....

text: took forever to finally get it. Content seems useful but a bit dated


title: Nothing But Ads

text: Every other page is a full sized ad and the recipes are unimpressive. I’m not paying for this again.


title: Woefully misnamed

text:
This is a lifestyle magazine where the target audience is clearly for the middle-to-upper income bracket who either have too much time on their hands and/or lots of disposable income. This is not a "money-saver" type of magazine, if that's what you're expecting (and one of the reasons I think this magazine is misleadingly titled).

As for "simplicity," the definition here of what is "real simple" is bizarre at best. For example, culling your makeup brush collection down to a mere 14 brushes. Really! (A 'basic' set usually contains only 6. And by contrast, if you want 'simple,' I once saw an article in another magazine that did a full look with just 3 make-up pencils.) For a calendar, they suggest buying a cork board, spray-painting it, pinning a ribbon grid, rubber-stamping numbers onto index cards, and then pinning those onto the board. You can then write on these and keep a replacement of stamped cards in a drawer. THIS is "SIMPLE?" This is a "project." You can buy a magnetic dry-erase calendar and a packet of magnets in less time than it'd take you to make this thing and then re-tack new, hand-stamped cards every month.

There are some decent tips in each issue, but it's not worth subscribing to the whole mag for them.


title: Live the recipes😍🥰

text: Great easy to follow recipes & home organizational ideas!😋


title: Great read for great recipes

text: As a foodie I can’t say more than 😍🥰💝🤓


title: Great resource for all thing automotive!

text:
Great magazine, for real.  It's nice to read offline without the distractions.

Content is straightforward yet witty.  A bit snarkey and also intelligent.  Worth the money!


title: Excellent Reviews, Geared for Beginners & Budding Amateurs

text:
The best maaginze, period, for equipment reviews. Quantitative, measured, consistent. The content is definitely geared towards beginners and budding amateurs, and year-over-year can become somewhat repetitive. It is not as engaging for experienced amateurs or professionals, but any magazine that is not a niche magazine for any industry or hobby shouldn't be fully engaging to a seasoned amateur or professional. If for nothing else, than we've already read a number of books that dive far deeper into numerous techniques and learning than any magazine could ever do in a two-page article.

For what it is -- a magazine catered towards beginners and solid reviews of the latest equipment coming out -- they do a very good job.


title: Seriously Lacking Photography Magazine

text: Seriously lacking in any real content. Subscribed for a year and opted not to renew even when renewal was offered at a major discount. Go with Popular Photography or even Outoor Photography. Don't forget about RangeFinder, which is available for free, but geared towards professionals and semi-professionals.


title: Must have of dealers and collectors alike

text: If you are a dealer of a collector it's a must have . well written , and up top date prices on the currency and note market


title: Customer service needs help

text: Great magazine....subscription didnt go to the end of my current just doubled


title: How many American serviceman will die??

text:
I've cancelled my subscription to newsweek because of their disgraceful reporting on the toilet flush item.

In addition to the 17 reported deaths in the riots, we can be sure that many US Serviceman will die in future actions.  This stupid rag has done much to reduce the credibility of our USA, and the many good things it has done in the name of freedom in the mideast.

Shame on the editors.

Fire the writer.


title: All You Magazine

text: I love All You Magazine--I would buy it monthly at Wal-Mart--you get your money back from the coupons inside. But to find it cheaper and have it come to my mailbox is a bonus


title: Good local info

text: Great magazine for those who live in the CLT and surrounding areas. Local info and great music event listing and restaurant reviews


title: BEST FOOD MAGAZINE

text: BEST FOOD MAGAZINE PERIOD.  I've tried tons of home and food magazines and this one has THE BEST recipes and tips.  They really know what they're talking about.  Other magazines get to complicated with their recipes or the food just plain doesn't taste good but I've never made anything I didn't like from the Food Network (that includes their recipes online as well).  The magazine is fun to read and very colorful.  I've been getting this magazine for over 2 years now and I still get excited when I see it in my mailbox!


title: Three Stars

text: Only has prime time shows


title: Great!

text: Great!


title: (print edition only)  Good stories, bad mailing process

text: F&SF just slaps a mailing sticker on the cover art and mails the magazine out.  The sticker cuts out some of the nice art on the cover and the magazine gets ripped in the mail since it's not covered up.  I even wrote to the F&SF folks but get no response.  Am not renewing.  Why subscribe if this is what you get?


title: Wasted my money

text: This is a flimsy, thin "magazine."  I really expected something like the regular Nat Geo magazine but with info that was relatable to kids.  There is just a handful of pages and there are a lot of stories that are not really science based.  Like a story of a bird and a bunny becoming friends.  I will for sure not be renewing this.


title: Excellent soap mag!

text: This is the best soap opera magazine that I've seen.  A must-have for soap lovers like me!  :)


title: My grandboys love it!

text: I bought this for my grand boys and they all love it. I'm a happy grandma!


title: Fortune magazine is fit for fire starting and bathroom use

text:
I got this magazine so that I could become more financially savvy and aware of trends. What I received was some of that, but mostly I get anti-Trump slams throughout the various articles. If I believed everything they wrote, I would come to the conclusion that he's the cause of all world destruction. WTH?!  Do you not have the ability to just talk about finances?!
I don't see you blaming every other world leader for the economic situations. The Peterson Institute for International Economics wrote: "China imposed uniform tariffs averaging 8% on all its importers in January 2018, before the trade war began. By June 2019, tariffs on American imports had increased to 20.7%, while tariffs on other nations declined to 6.7%. " No remarks about that Jinping BS from the Fortune "opinion writers"? Of course not!  BUT Fortune "journalists"  also did NOT report that back in 2015, the Obama Administration had " brought 11 trade enforcement challenges against China, three against India, and several other complaints against a series of major economies including Indonesia, Argentina, the Philippines, and the European Union.  To ensure the greatest economic benefits for American workers and exporters, the Obama Administration has used our trade enforcement actions to emphasize opening these large, strategic markets to which the United States exports a diverse array of products and services."
So when Obama did this. it was okay. When Trump continues following up, it is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.  I am canceling my free subscription! And, I'm really looking forward to the eventual demise of this magazine itself since it appears to have outlived its purpose, goal, and usefulness.


title: NEW EDITOR MAKES WONDERFUL MAG

text: I adore Southern Living mag & am thrilled w/ the new editor who came from Southern Accents which was a treasure & now closed. The new SL editor has brought many of Southern Accents design to current SL. I love the more balanced approach of interior design, southern history/culture, gardens & recipes. The older format which focused more on gardening & cooking was not to my personal appeal at that particular stage of my life. If you are a Southern lady, this mag is required reading. As to those who complain about too many ads..Good grief. How do you think we still have printed magazines. The few dollars a subscriber pays for this or any magazine does not cover the cost of publication. The advertisers keep mags in business. I loathe the day when all that is available is a computer screen. I still want to sit on my porch w/ a cup of tea & enjoy turning pags & tearing recipes & design ideas. As a side note: you may want to look at Garden & Gun & also GA Backroads which both include southern culture less design & recipes.


title: Well worth the price!

text: Great magazine for those who love cast iron!  Excellent recipes and full of pictures and inspiration.


title: Great magazine, never got $5 bonus

text: Wired is great, but I never got my $5 bonus from Amazon :(

text: It takes a long time for subscriptions to being


title: Fun with Scooby!

text: Who doesn't like Scooby-Doo?! It is an easy read, but needs more real content. I use the magazine to keep some younger clients busy while talking with their parents.


title: Perfect For Overweight Guys Who Feel Sexually Insecure

text: I have recieved this magazine for free going on a year now. Although I do like some of the articles, I find that it seems to be ironically aimed towards the overweight reader who is experiencing sexual problems. The workouts listed always tell a person how to "slim down" or "get rid of that gut". Personally, I'm 18 and not fat, so it's quite hard to find any workouts geared for me. As to the second part of my argument, I don't see why they feel a need to include sexual topics in the magazine, but if they must, they needn't go as far as they do. Call me old fashioned, but I think that health magazines should be about getting healthy and staying there, not old fat guys who have lost their stamina.


title: Classic magazine

text: Great pictures...simple clean commentary


title: Subscription cheaper on another website

text: March 4, 2011. $23.95 on magmall.com. I love the convenience of being able to manage all of my mag subscriptions on Amazon, but....a $6 savings on magmall.com is a couple of lattes at my favorite coffee house. LOL. Use coupon code "google6" at checkout. C'mon Amazon, let's get competitive! I'd rather be buying it through you. I have nothing to do with the website or the magazine....I'm just a miser. Cheers and happy gardening.


title: PHS has helped us for 15 yrs. so far!

text: PHS magazine has helped us tremendously over the 15 yrs. we've been homeschooling so far.  There were no personal computers and world wide web when we first started our hsing adventure... just our monthly connection with the hsing world via this magazine.  I would wait for its timely arrival each month, devouring every page within the first 24 hrs. after it arrived.  Still, to this day, I rely on PHS's curriculum and product reviews.  They have NEVER steered us wrong in all these years.  The yearly vote of "favorites" from PHS subscribers is invaluable too, in decision making re: purchases of curriculum.  A long-time columnist of PHS helped us to decide which pkg. curriculum to use for our high schoolers and we're on our second hs high school graduate with that same company.  Our firstborn just graduated from a prestigious private college here in the U.S. with a 3.97 GPA, 4 yrs. on the college's dean's list, 2 yrs. on the National Dean's List, and the 2005 Wall Street Journal Award for Excellence in Business.  None of this would have happened had it not been for homeschooling our children through high school... and we could have never done that without the immeasurable help of Practical Homeschooling magazine.


title: Knowledge, written in understandable terms.

text: If science/physics is an interest rather than a vocation, SciAm is written for us. Favorite rag not devoted to two wheels!


title: Best cooking Magazine

text: I just love this magazine.


title: Love the recipes

text: I love the different recipes.


title: no adds for chemical yuckies.

text: I hate getting magazines filled with adds for junky products, creepy chemical foods, or clothes made in China. The articles are nice, fairly informative, easy to read.


title: my favorite, for myself and homeschooling

text: I have received many different magazines of this type in the past few years and this is my favorite. Every month I get great articles about the latest finds, many I can pass on to my kids. As a non-uber-religious homeschooler I find this is a great supplement for many of our history and geography lessons. One of the best things about this mag is that they don't send me copious mailings about renewal offers, trips, other magazines, etc.


title: More like Baptist-Libertarian-Un-Schooling magazine

text: This should be called "Tin Hat Homeschoolers". Many of the articles try to instill a culture of fear for government and public school officials. Every magazine I have received has had a serial about how common core is part of a "one world order" plan by the US and Middle Eastern governments.  You know when you watch a political add that is so off in right field that you find yourself rooting for the person they are bashing because what they are claiming sounds so normal? Yeah, that is how I view common core and the other conspiracies this magazine rail against. If these tin hatters like something, I am going to be very suspicious. The only reason I gave this a second star is because they have this hilarious article every month about "a day in the life" of a home school family. Readers send in their picture and stories. These have all made me feel so accomplished as a first year home school parent! If these are the boys that my kids are going to be competing against for college admissions or job prospects (I can't imagine any of the families would let their daughter's work outside the home or sunday school room,  or go to college) then we are pretty set.  I subscribed to this hoping for a Cathy Duffy experience every month, this is nothing like it.


title: fine if you are crunchy but clueless.

text: I love that Kiwi magazine has useful ads and coupons, this has not been the case in other family magazines we have tried. That said, the articles don't offer much in the way of new or unexpected advice. I will probably not renew my subscription.


title: Three Stars

text: OK


title: My 10 old loves it

text: This magazine subscription was intended for both of my girls.  My 7 year old is not interested in it but my 10 year old loves it.  I would highly recommend this magazine and will continue to purchase it for them.


title: Magazine

text: I was disappointed in this magazine.  For my taste it had way too many advertisements in it.  I would not recommend this magazine to anyone expecting a lot of nice recipes.


title: Love Allrecipes

text: Great magazine and website!


title: Handy Hints

text: Love this magazine.


title: Magazines came four times, and then nothing more.  The kid I got this for was heartbroken.

text:
This is a really messed-up subscription service.  I think NatGeo farmed this out to some company that is doing a half-assed job.  We got a gift subscription for our neighbor boy.  It took months to get the first issue.  Then he received three or four issues over the next few months and loved it.  Then the magazines stopped coming.  The boy’s parents told met his  much later. And now  I see by other comments here that this has happened to numerous people.  I just discovered my subscription was auto-renewed and I received two copies!  Does that mean I was charged for two subscriptions last year and this year?  If so, we have paid $60 for four magazines.  We have a locked mailbox, and we do get the regular National Geographic magazine.  So the missing kids magazines cannot be blamed on theft.

I think the magazine is fine—the kids love it.  But the unreliable subscription service makes this a very bad deal.


title: Covid19 related?

text: Late arrivals! Only received one magazine and been waiting for the next for quite a while.


title: Beautiful

text: Beautiful magazine with beautiful people! Racists  need to stop leaving there faux news trash reviews off Amazon! Take your hate elsewhere! Love always wins!


title: Five Stars

text: Love the TV Guide!  I read every story and article in it.  Also a great value.


title: Bought a year subscription only got 2 issues

text: I ordered a full year subscription 16 months ago which should be 4 magazines over a year, instead I only received 2 and those were delayed. The magazine itself is fine, but I can't overlook the fact that I only received half the product.


title: Delicious, easy to follow recipes and gorgeous photos

text: I love this magazine the recipes look beautiful in the photos and they are easy to make. Some issues I go back to over and over and over again because there's some of my favorite recipes.


title: Convenient way to renew subscription.

text: Have been subscribing to magazine for years .


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine, great price.


title: I’m very pleased with my subscription to “Just Cross Stitch .”

text: I make little items for thank you’s , gifts, items to sell at a craft fair.


title: One of a kind

text: I really don't think any other knitting magazines aside from IK are worth buying. It's beautiful quality with a nice mix of articles and patterns, and really good value for money.


title: Now Unschooling Magazine

text: I like this magazine very much, it has a good mix of articles about homeschooling, unschooling, research based pieces and opinion pieces. It does a good job of presenting a broad perspective on the topic.


title: Too much advertising

text: I purchased this to look through with  my 6 year old son. It's an OK magazine, it has some nice articles in it, and clear photos - it's great for him to flick through. But it's thin, and FULL of advertising (a lot of cigarettes). I'm not sure it's worth having a subscription too, even though it's very cheap, the exposure to things like cigarette advertising may not be worth the limited amount of information presented in it.


title: I highly recommend this magazine!

text: Awesome magazine! Very interesting articles.


title: Wonderful magazine!

text: This is a great magazine that includes articles for locations many people would love to visit. Especially if you're getting close to retirement and ready to start taking those trips you've always desired to! I would recommend this magazine for anyone interested in travel.


title: Creative

text: I love seeing how others reuse items in unique ways.


title: Beautiful homes

text: I really like Veranda for the beautiful homes they showcase. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because while it is so much fun to look at all the beauty not everyone has such grand homes. I did get some good decorating ideas from the magazine but just not practical for my lifestyle.


title: Always good

text: For anyone that likes the less perfect in life or should I say items with character. I like how they show to use products in unexpected ways and the beautifully comfortable rooms and outdoor spaces that are highlighted.


title: Great for diy'ers or any homeowner

text: I like the helpful tips and the features they do on different products. The how to articles are great and have easy to follow directions. Many great ideas for any homeowner.


title: An informative, inspiring journal for the small, sustainable farm.

text: This is an inspiring and informative publication geared toward the small to very small sustainable farm operation.  As someone who as recently taken the plunge and started a small farm operation, I've found this journal to be full of useful information.  Even the advertisements are on target.  Highly recommended.


title: About Texans, for Texans

text: The essential monthly reader for people enamored with all things Texas. Although the advertisers are a bit on the elite side, the articles hit home with the rest of us. The entertainment guide is indispensable.


title: i really like MXA. They are more technical than most other ...

text: A longtime motocrosser, i really like MXA. They are more technical than most other moto-rags and i like that as i am a total do it yourselfer.<br />I like that more than writing about what a riders favorite junk food is.


title: If I wanted to read a Sky-Mall magazine...

text: I hadn't picked up a popular mechanics magazine in 10-15 years, but on a whim (and what I thought to be an excellent lightning deal) subscribed through Amazon. Unfortunately it appears the intellect has gone downhill, and popular is now more synonymous with mediocrity. The magazine is riddled with articles that read like a GQ or sky-mall magazine... Im not sure who this magazine is intended to appeal to, but certainly it is not my cup of tea.


title: No magazine

text: Many years ago I subscribed to the print edition (all that was available at the time)<br />I subscribed through Amazon at the end of February and it is now mid April.  I have not seen a paper edition yet, and the magazine pages show as little tiny images.  I can't read articles that way.  This is useless.

title: Great deal!!

text: Always been one of my fav magazines!!


title: High quality crochet magazine.

text: Interweave, in general, has high quality magaiznes and their Crochet magazine is no exception! Each issue contains at least a dozen projects. And I think their projects are prettier/trendier than those I find in other crochet magazines that I have owned. They have projects for women, children and even men. (Although, the vast majority of of projects are for women.)


title: Great resource for those who have an embroidery machine

text: If you are tired of doing the same old things over and over again with your embroidery machine, then this magazine will give you lots of ideas. I mean, who would have thought of embroidering on balsa wood???!!! Yes, really! There is an article on just how to do that in the Nov/Dec 2010 issue. The magazine is filled with lots of projects and tips on machine embroidery. And be sure to go to their website to download free designs.


title: Great magazine

text:
This is a great magazine for quilters. Each issue conatins several projects... a mix of both traditional and art quilts. My current issue (April/May 2011) contains an article on airbrushing fabric that I thought was really interesting. This magazine also contains news as related to the quilting world (exhibits, competition results, quilter's biographies, etc.).

Before subscribing to this magazine, go to their website first. Sometimes they have bonus items they'll give you with your subscription. Even if you don't subscribe to the magazine, you can find lots of free patterns on their website.


title: Good magazine, but not as good as it used to be.

text: This magazine is geared to the jewelry artist who does a lot of lapidary work. I've subscribed to this magazine on and off for many years. While I still like this magazine and find it somewhat useful, it's not as good as it used to be. The instructional value is just not as good. I still have my old issues and I would rate them a 5. My new favorite jewelry magazine is [[ASIN:B00067PFKM Art Jewelry]].


title: Lots of great info!

text: I've subscribed to this magazine for over a year now and I love it. This is a great magazine for jewelry artists. Each issue is filled with lots of great ideas and projects. They really do a good job of covering all aspects of jewelry making, things like metalsmithing, wire work, PMC, etc.  I always learn something new with each issue. Very inspiring.


title: Great sewing resource!

text:
I have been sewing on and off for about 20 years and am always looking for ways to improve my sewing. I really like this magazine. Each issue contains instructions for several projects, but what I really like about this magazine is that it is full of tips and tricks that I can really use. Just as an example, my current issue (April/May 2011) contains articles on adjusting tension, working with knits, draping principles, pant fitting tips, fashion sketching and much, much more.

This is a great all-around sewing resource that covers all aspects of sewing. This magazine seems to be mainly geared towards the beginner or intermediate sewer, but I think even an advanced sewer may find it useful.


title: let the renovations begin

text:
This magazine is great for the do-it-yourselfer. Lots of great ideas fill the pages. Whenever I'm low on inspiration I just leaf through the magazine and lots of ideas start formulating in my head, much to the chagrin of my husband. I'm always working on some home improvement project or another.

And this magazine is a great value at only $1 per issue. You are sure to find much more than your money's worth of information in each issue.

title: Decent PC Gaming Mag

text:
Though there isn't much competition in the printed world for PC gaming mags, PC Gamer was actually one of the extremely few that were good enough to survive. There are some good exclusive articles that even beat out online gaming news outlets. The bonus CDs are still hit and miss for me, but it just depends on what content you may prefer.

Overall, not a bad deal.

text: I CAN'T VERY WELL REVIEW SOMETHING I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED!  I KNOW THE QUALITY OF THE MAGAZINE IS GOOD, SINCE I'M BUYING IT ON THE NEWS STAND.  THE SERVICE IN GETTING THE SUBSCRIPTION STARTED...WELL...I'M RESERVING JUDGMENT UNTIL I FIND OUT HOW MUCH LONGER I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE I ACTUALLY RECEIVE IT.


title: Great Magazine. Great Price.

text: I have read Readers Digest for many years.I decided to subscribe with your great deal.


title: Great Magazine

text: I love this magazine.  Always has interesting articles. Very informative and helpful.  I mistakenly had it sent to my 91 yr old mom's house and she loves it too. She now reads it cover to cover before she lets me have it.


title: Five Stars

text: My nephew loved it!


title: A hit!

text: My kids have always loved this magazine. Now I’m buying it for my grandkids.


title: Five Stars

text: my daughter loves every issue


title: This magazine is great. I personally have not seen it in any ...

text: This magazine is great.  I personally have not seen it in any stores so I had to order it via subscription.  It doesn't come out monthly but every issue I have received is chocked full of recipes I want to try.  It, as the title suggests, is geared toward food with a little kick.  Some type of pepper is always presented and so far nothing has disappointed.  They have a hotness scale, so you know upfront if it's mild or very hot.  I also like the sections that talk about areas to visit and the food to try while there.  This last issue featured San Antonio and had some great advice on places to go and try.


title: Great projects for beginner thru advanced

text: I am a beginner crocheter, and I love this magazine.  In every issue there is a project that I can do and a good selection of ones that I will be able to do soon as well as some that are suited more for the advanced crocheter.<br />I like the varied selection, since I get tired of all the beginner projects that are always scarves and small bags or the basic easy afghan.  Don't get me wrong, I love making those things, and do so a lot.... but this magazine gives me a good selection of other projects for pets, and babies and gifts and many more.


title: Accuracy

text: Didn't renew. Not sure why I'm being asked for a review.


title: Escape and enjoy

text: This fulfills escapist longings and give me ideas of ways to use or rearrange things I already have.


title: Lots of information including decorating ideas, recipes, etc.

text: I like the recipes.<br />Too many advertisements.


title: Great for litter paper and a Scam

text:
About the worst sports magazine I have ever read and possibly the worst magazine i have ever read period.  Full of ads, not particularly great photos, and inane articles on bizarre statistics.  Makes sports illustrated look like Pulitzer material.  The only thing justifying buying this is that its a cheap route to espn insider if you want that online access.

Update july 2014 This is also a scam as even if you cancel via subscription manager they will auto renew and charge your cc leading a to a painful process to get your  money back.


title: Love Reader's Digest

text: I love Reader's Digest. I have been reading it for years!


title: It's up to you but IMHO it's not worth the money

text: Don't bother is what I say. Why? Well first and foremost, if you are like me and been into fitness for a number of years there is next to nothing that you will learn from this magazine; you would benefit more from a free fitness forum than you would from the magazine alone. Not only that, but there is a significant amount adds in the magazine to the point it seems like that there is more adds than there is articles; at times there are articles to convince you to buy a specific product hence an add. Then there is the cost of the Kindle version that equates to the cost of the paper edition which truly baffles me if you consider once you make a digital copy there is less over head and therefore one would think they would lower the price if you go with the digital version: of course they don't do that. They stink on communication meaning I have contacted the editor and then customer service and still yet to get replies. I admit there are times I am reminded of something I forgot, or the mag gives me an idea to spice up my routine, but all in all I get the same results by visiting fitness forums like rosstraining. In short, the only thing I will miss is having something to read while sitting on the can. Short of that, no shirt off my back not reading this magazine ever again.


title: When you're  mix

text: Makes  your mind  grow


title: Must reading for serious riders

text:
I find the regular feature articles on improving riding skills and safety to be invaluable. It helps to remind me to consciously practice my riding skills.

The monthly reviews of new motorcycles are always interesting, even when they review bikes that I wouldn't want to ride. I've often found a "must have" item in the regular "Innovation of the Month" column. It's not an inexpensive subscription, but there are NO ADs to take up space and influence the writers opinions.

Become a better rider. Read Motorcycle Consumer News every month.

PS - I have no affiliation with them. I simply think the magazine is a valuable resource for motorcycle riders.


title: A Must. Keeps You in the Loop of the Best Info

text: I love this magazine.  It is like "People Mag" for science and the extraordinary. A must for cutting edge discoveries and uncovering a multitude of things you need to know about.


title: The Atlantic seems to be pretty good. But it makes me wonder what it ...

text: I find it interesting that most all of the reviews are lamenting the decline of the The Atlantic because I have no frame of reference.  Just this past year, I picked up a few copies from the grocery store when they covered topics that I found interesting. I thought that the articles were in depth and well written but sometimes completely wrong in political predictions, (for example, the big article in Jan or Feb of last year couldn’t have been more wrong about the demise of the Republican party and the rise of the Democratic party) etc.  It occurs to me that for a new reader, such as myself, The Atlantic seems to be pretty good.  But it makes me wonder what it could be and what it once was.  Given its faults and weaknesses, would you recommend subscribing, or just picking up the occasional copy?  I appreciate all of the reviews. Thank You.


title: maximum pc

text: Just received magazine, have not had a chance to read it, but was delivered sooner than they had promised.


I've been a subscriber since 1955.....why I hold on to my subscription is a mystery.....even the jokes are SOUR.  A beautiful magazine screwed by Vanity Fair like garbage.


title: Best new magazine.

text: Love all the new ways to prepare food.


title: Five Stars

text: Good deal


title: A classic you can't live without

text: Always love this mag. Use it in my classroom all the time.  Monthly word game always a challenge and so much fun.  Love the heartwarming and whistle blower stories, and great humor, always clean humor, can share with kids.


title: A must-have for homeschoolers!

text: My 18 year old autistic kid LOVES this mag, and has since we first found it in 2007 or 2008. It is always greeted with joy in our house!  Very informative, great pictures, super stories and keeps my kid entertained for hours.  We also use it in homeschooling.


My husband enjoys this mag.  Tried to get better price when reordering,  would not neg.  I just placed new subscription thru this company for a better price.


title: Happy to be a part of the O Magazine!!!

text: I've received my first issue of my O Magazine and I can't wait to read the articles and get some home decorating tips and a heads up on what's hot or not in fashion!!


title: Great reading if you're satisfied with only getting one issue

text: Also recieved only one issue.  Amazon order status says nect issue arriving mid June 2017.  It is August and i still dont have it.  The Strand website already considers it a "back issue" at a sale price.  Very very disappointed


title: like AZ, UT

text:
two things:
1. no coverage of the Southwest as a zone in their Regional coverage.  like AZ, UT, NM, NV, are all bare dirt?
2. i received ONE issue then the renewal notices started coming.  that's a lot of junk mail.


title: THE BEST!

text: By far the best magazine for kids! Very well put together, and tons of fun!


title: Beautiful

text: This is a very nice periodical.  It's only suitable for the culinarily adept and adventurous if you plan to use it, but anyone can enjoy the beautiful photography and above par design.


title: If you are a do it yourselfer, you'll love this

text: I have read "Handyman" often over the years but never subscribed to it. I finally made the plunge and I love it. Great information. Lots of it is just good, common sense. Great projects, tips and "why didn't I think of that", Information. You can also submit your own ideas and tips and it could get printed in the next issue. I use sticky notes to mark articles that I will find useful later. Easy to go back that way. Love it.


title: if yoou want advertisements, this is for you

text: There is probably 300 pages in this magazine, and 3 that are articles.  This is one of the worst "magazines" i have ever come across.  If you have no interest in learning or reading and love advertisements, then this is the magazine for you!


title: Could pass for a term paper for a high school freshman in a health class. Grade:  probably a C

text:
I generally enjoy health related publications.  I don't enjoy this one.  In fact, I will say with a great deal o0f confidence.... it is a useless publication of well-intentioned (read: income) pap, not strong on new materials, and a boring verbiage at a high school level.  I have been well into a month attempting to vacate my recent subscription, and to no avail... I again received TODAY, yet another sophomoric rag of wannabe body science.
Save your money, there are plenty of good books and articles out there to find out about Nattokinease, Frankinsense, Inulin, and bromelin as it relates to maximizing the body's health.  This is definitely a money maker for someone.  That is my take.

title: Why pay to read advertisements ?!?

text: While there are some interesting articles in the magazine, there are very few articles per issue.  Even some of the advertisements look like articles. My February 2015 issue of Yoga Journal is120 pages long.Only 47 of those pages contained articles.  Actually, most of those 47 pages were half page articles with ads on the other half.  Also, included in the count of 47 pages were short paragraphs with pictures.  I am highly disappointed in the lack of content in each issue and won't be renewing my subscription.


title: Enjoy every moment...

text:
I enjoyed every moment of planning our big day.  This magazine was packed full of good ideas and inspirational photos.  It was always a joy to find the magazine in my mailbox.

Brides has many checklists/timelines to keep you on track in planning your big day.  There are many ideas for any budget.  Enjoy planning!


title: Newly wed.... Loved planning my dream wedding

text:
I absolutely loved every minute of planning my wedding.  Brides magazine was my favorite mag, but Modern Bride was also helpful.  There are always many ideas to steal for favors, invitations, flowers, gowns, etc.  Plus occassionally there were coupons for 25% off Michaels.  That comes in handy with purchases such as ribbons, jordan almonds, etc.

If you only want to subscribe to one bridal magazine then choose Brides, but why not enjoy a magazine every month (both magazines are everyother) and enjoy the planning of the most romantic, wonderful day starting the rest of your life.

Happy planning!

title: When I grow up, I want to be John C. Dvorak

text:
Actually, growing up might hinder the process... oh, never mind, on with the review.
Since the birth of the original IBM personal computer, PC Magazine has been the premiere publication for computer enthusiasts from all walks of life. The magazine has kept pace with technology, so readers with interests in consumer electronics, networking, and web programming will find valuable information alongside the traditional product reviews. Unlike some similar periodicals, PC Magazine artfully manages to provide technical detail for IT professionals and "bottom line" advice for consumers without diminishing its user-friendliness and readability. It also strikes a proper balance between fact and opinion, and between content and advertising.
Because PC Magazine is published bi-weekly, it provides more up-to-the-minute coverage of the ever-changing world of technology than any of its monthly competitors, and the predictions of its well-informed staff often turn out to be correct (yes, I keep some of my back issues). Additionally, each issue contains detailed product reviews, excellent feature stories on new technologies, and a joke page that's actually funny.
Perhaps the most compelling reason to read PC Magazine is due to the quality of its columnists. Every issue begins with a variety of insightful and thought-provoking editorials, from the visionary ramblings of John Dvorak (my hero) to the infuriating nonsense espoused by "Extreme Tech" Bill Machrone (whom I would personally like to strangle with a Cat 5 patch cord). In short, PC Magazine provides actual journalism in a genre filled with overglorified catalogs, and I can not praise it highly enough.


title: Good for the casual computer user

text:
PC World is one of the most widely read computer magazines in existence, and for good reason: it provides a monthly dose of technology news and reviews in an accessible and easy-to-read format. Though they bill themselves as a resource for IT managers and business people, the magazine is very consumer-oriented, and every issue contains helpful tips for novice users (such as how to get rid of temp files or install the latest Outlook patch).
Alas, being a jack of all trades condemns you to be a master of none. On average, I only find one or two articles per issue actually useful, and most features lack the depth and technical detail that IT professionals crave (in their defense, and in defense of my high ranking, that one piece of advice I get each month is usually a lifesaver). Additionally, the signal-to-noise ratio seems a little too low - one often finds "special advertising supplements" where content should be.
Perhaps my largest issue (no pun intended) with PC World is with its monthly Top 100 list. The magazine regularly gives its highest honors to computer systems unavailable through normal distribution channels, and peripherals (such as printers and CD burners) that I know from experience to have significant reliability problems are often labeled "best buy" because they perform marginally better on benchmark tests. Never the less, PC World remains a great tool for the casual user seeking a better understanding of the computer industry (or anyone just looking for some advice on buying a new PC)... and to those people, I highly recommend it.


title: Great price

text: This is a great price on this magazine. I bought the subscription so I could get iPad access. No complaints.

title: Tons of great southern lifestlyle ideas

text: We are a military family that moves around a lot. On our tour in Georgia we were introduced to true southern living, a thing we have missed every day since leaving. This magazine perfectly captures the decorating, food, travel, and seasonal parts of southern life. Its modern, family centric, and warm. We have been very happy with our subscriptio .

title: Not

text: This is not what I thought it would be.


title: Great magazine for kids around kindergarten/elementary school age.

text: My 5 year old loves it. The photos are fantastic, and the short articles are educational even for adults! And in contrast to some other kids magazines, there are no ads.


title: Interesting

text: Interesting stories in this. This is only my second issue. I'll stay subscribed.


title: too much ads and too little useful information

text: i have to say that i was disappointed when i received the first issue. it had too many ads, and the information it provided does not seem first-hand. i subscribed the magzine by hoping to get some information on the new trend of technoloogy. it did provide some new trend, like 2013 car. But for me, it was too "recent" and not useful information since i am not planning to change my car.


title: Photo-France

text: I have not recieved my copy yet.  It was supposed to be deliver by aug 1st.


title: Good for a "handyman"

text: My husband was a little disappointed in this magazine.  Lots of ads and a few "crafty" type projects. He was looking for something with more technical information about woodworking.  I am sure it is a good magazine, just not what he was looking for.  I would suggest looking one over in the store before subscribing to make sure it is what you want.


title: For my husband and sons

text: Great magazine, really great price.  When you can get a year's subscription of a great magazine like this for $5, why not subscribe.  One copy costs that much at the stores.  My husband and son's love this magazine.


title: My favorite magazine by far

text: I have been reading this magazine for many, many years and it is my all time favorite, even above Martha's, it brings a smile to my face every time I receive it!


title: Love this Magazine

text: as an avid crocheter, I love to see new patterns and learn new stitches and reference information for my projects, I love this magazine and the price was good too


title: Great Magazine!

text: This and Better Homes and Gardens are the best decorating magazines being published. Great deal on magazines on Amazon, always check Amazon first when buying anything!


title: ok if you like sailboats.

text: I thought this would be a great way to learn about boats in general but it stays true to sailboats and all of them are very very expensive.


title: NG not what it use to be.

text: National Geographic used to be a great magazine, they now have a staff that is all about pushing left wing politics.  I love nature and I love interesting stories but I don't need to be preached to in a mag I pay for.


title: GQ should have stuck to fashion and left politics be.

text: Fail. Unsubscribed. Wanted fashion, food, drink, entertainment; not politics.


title: Great gift.

text: Granddaughter loves recieving it each month.


title: The New Yorker rocks!

text: This is a great magazine for an even better price. The articles are absorbing and diversified, as well as intelligently written. I also love the witty cartoons. This is one of the best magazines out there and one is able to access it online as well. Highly recommend.

Fantastic magazine for the "Do-It-Yourselfer"
Chock FULL of little projects, organizing ideas, and loads of shop tips, this magazine is a favorite in my household whether the wife has a "honey-do" idea, or the kids want "dad" to build something that caught their eye on one of the pages.
All the family seems to enjoy flipping through the, as every single inch of each page has informative tips for the weekend warrior to the seasoned pro!

title: Average Person Left Behind

text: As a subscriber for many years I have finally let my subscription run out.  I love the Adirondacks and the people that reside there.  The magazine has chosen to focus on the wealthy and privileged that vacation in this region.  I am not really interested in the process a wealthy person took to buy a parcel of land and build a private resort for himself.  However, it seems that in recent years the magazine has catered to this clientele. Don't look for many articles about someone that lives in the mountains and makes a living there.  However, if a story about a wealthy family buying some land for several thousands of dollars per acre and then having a house built (or moved) to suite their particular taste, then Adirondack Life is for you.


title: Trite and unimaginative

text: If I see another picture of a blurred waterfall or creek I am going to puke...I have not seen one truly imaginative, artistic image in this magazine. Everything is run of the mill, boring, standard outdoor photography.  Lots of sunsets, flower fields.  No different angles or perspectives, colors, nothing new.  The articles are geared toward inexperienced photographers and really repetitive.  I think I clipped one interesting article in a year worth of magazines...


title: Foreignaffairs.com has better deal

text: Foreignaffairs.com offers magazine, online subscription and a book for a total of $49 a year. Amazon offers only the magazine for the same price. I bought it and I regret. Don't do it.

title: Love it!

text: I love National Geographic, I find the content to always be interesting and well executed in each issue. I do not find the ad's bothersome at all as the articles and photographs more than make up for the few pages of advertising.

Delivery was much sooner than indicated.  Great!


title: Great Read

text: We've had this subscription for years and then I just totally forgot to renew.  Found it on Amazon and life is good.  Now my son is old enough to enjoy along with his dad.


title: Biased and not objective

text: Unfortunately this weekly magazine has become an opinion piece with an axe to grind. The Economist is no longer written as objective and informative news. It is a shame really.


title: Nice

text: Very good magazine. A lot of useful information.


title: went kaputt

text: I was notified that the magazine no longer exist - they just extended my Peterson's 4x4 subscription

text: My brother enjoys receiving this magazine.


title: First month of the subscription was fantastic.

text: I think I read every single page.  Then my husband picked it up and read every single page.  Not sure it if was a fluke that we got a month that had great articles in it, or if it's this good every month.


title: Excellent magazine for the trapper enthusiasts

text:
Informative magazine for the trapper enthusiasts.
I've purchased this magazine for my husband for several years and more recently as a gift for my brother in law. Both men trap frequently and find the articles Informative. Amazon has the best price for it that I've found. It also auto renews yearly but you could stop that if you wanted.
If you enjoy the outdoors and trapping you'll find this magazine to be a wealth of information.


My son is 9 and always wants sports magazines at the store. Some ads are not age appropriate so I was super excited to order Spirts Illustrated for kids for him. We just got our fist issue and he was beyond happy with it. He said it's the best magazine subscription we have. If you have a sports fanatic kid, this is totally worth it!


title: Magazine

text: There is good info and some nice articles, but it’s also half adds, and lots of articles seem to be product focused as well. There are articles about how the ads you see are recommended products. Not sure if I’d renew.


title: Trouble with font size

text:
Purchased Wired for my Kindle fire. I use the e-reader because I'm mostly blind and the Kindle allows me see the print in books. The back lighting and increased font size allows to read.

However, the format for Wired Magazine does not allow for the increase in font size which makes reading it almost impossible.

I love Wired the magazine, but the Kindle version, not so much.


title: Great recipes!

text: This magazine is great!! Lots of recipes that look good in pics but taste even better!


title: Always loved this magazine.

text: I enjoy the new products and technical articles. Also like see the old articles from years past.


title: Well put together

text: Good publication. Not just all adds... like most magazines


title: Five Stars

text: Wonderful!


title: Essential information

text: I never make a major purchase without consulting this magazine.  CR takes no advertising or donations from industry, while other magazines do.  The staff buys the item at retail off the shelf and tests it, often using the same or more restrictive tests than the government safety offices, then reports the results.  There is no danger of running into reviews  by people who have something to gain.  CR also keeps up with dangerous and withdrawn goods.

title: This used to be a good magazine for "how to" information

text: I would not have wasted my money if I'd known you were spending a large part of the pages redefining history to try to convince people that black people discovered organic gardening (and pretty much everything else known to man).  I don't come to this magazine for politics or Orwellian doublespeak!  Don't know who's blackmailing you but I wish you'd either get back to gardening or cancel the rest of my subscription.  The last magazine went directly into the garbage.
