title: Geared for the high fashion reader

text:
If you enjoy high fashion, suggestions for expensive clothing/beauty products/jewelry, reading long articles about the most boring superficial subjects ever & thumbing through about a billion generic fashion & perfume ads, then this is the magazine for you. I was gifted an Elle subscription & at first was really excited when it arrived in the mail. I'm now writing this review at the end of a 2 year subscription so I've given it a very fair shot. To be upfront, I'm a middle class female who loves to keep up with high fashion for ideas & just knowing what's in style, but can't really afford anything in this magazine. So obviously I'm not the intended audience. They never suggest any mid range options to translate from their high end options, so I just end up seeing a bunch of stuff I'm never going to buy. Very rarely are there even beauty products highlighted that a regular gal can afford. I always appreciate the ideas in high fashion magazines & that way I can hopefully find them somewhere else I can afford. So for me personally, I feel like I'm basically just getting a little fashion inspiration & a few beauty/makeup ideas from this magazine. Although lots of the ideas aren't the most realistic to put into practice in everyday life. For example, every outfit highlighted in their latest issue was anywhere from $1500-3000+. Really?! These weren't dresses, supposedly just everyday outfits.
The articles are very long & arduous to get through & many are about superficial topics that I could not care less about.
As an example, the latest issue had a 3 page article about perfume & how synthetic chemicals are often better than naturals & the history of perfume. While I appreciate all the information & I love learning, I really didn't enjoy reading 3 pages about perfume. Again, that's just me personally. Some people may love learning all about perfume. If that sounds interesting to you, then you may enjoy this magazine. Occasionally they have a human interest story but mostly they just highlight celebrities.
The models in Elle are the least diverse I've ever seen in any magazine. It would be amazing to see a greater variation of people represented.
Overall for me, this magazine is uninspired, exhausting to get through & I never feel that it was worth my time. I end up feeling poor & like I just jammed a bunch of useless information into my brain. Plus I feel bad that it's wasting all this paper especially on so many ridiculous ads & I didn't get anything out of it. I always recycle mags but I definitely will look into digital subscriptions for any other future magazine subscriptions. There's lots of other good magazines out there geared more for the every girl so unless you truly just love high fashion & superficial articles, I'd pass on Elle. I'm basing my 1 star review on me being a regular everyday girl who enjoys high fashion, keeping up with styles & trends but would love some ideas that are also more applicable to a more normal lifestyle and pocketbook.
If you just absolutely love high fashion then you may enjoy Elle.
Or if you're rich, want to go into debt for fashion or enjoy feeling bad about yourself for all the junk in this mag you can't afford, Elle may also be a great magazine choice for you ;)


title: Awesome.

text: Got it sooner than Amazon said.  Awesome.


title: Five Stars

text: My daughter loves the magazine.


title: Nothing but a giant advertisement.

text: Nothing but an advertisement for the vitamins they are trying to sell throughout the magazine. It goes straight into the recycling bin.


title: magazine. Recipes.

text: I personally love Taste of home magazines.


title: It's just ads.

text: I regret giving this to my boyfriend as a birthday present. They said it might take 12 weeks to get it, but it actually took around 14 weeks, and only after I called and complained repeatedly. I was slightly rebuffed for a while, as apparently, 13 weeks is not too long to wait. The magazine itself is full of ads which might be useful to a professional photographers, but is in no way helpful to an enthusiast.


title: Not what I was expecting

text: My house is 100 years old and it is under partially renovation.  I thought I may be able to get some good ideas from this magazine.  It is a very thin magazine with the same advertisements in each issue.  I receive 3 issues at once, one current, the other 2 go back 4 months.  I wasnt too happy about that either.  So far, it is more decorating, less renovation.  No before and after picture of projects that incorporate a totally new floor plan.


title: Top rated magazine

text: It is hard to find this magazine. I got it first at Barnes and Noble, but a subscription is a must. They cover how everything works from basic tech to new tech. They even cover random animals or topics like, "Why we cry." This magazine is pretty inspiring.


title: Eye Candy

text: I just love this design mag, but the type is getting smaller every issue.


title: no time to read it

text: I just didn't have time to read it, so I decided to just not get it anymore, so I cancelled.


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine for kids


title: Still awaiting

text: Nice price but still waiting for my first issue


title: Woke Trash

text: Go woke, go broke. Don't support this trash.


title: Five Stars

text: I love this magasine, thanks


title: Keep your money

text: This magazine is so uninteresting. There's hardly any content, mostly ads. I canceled my subscription 9 months early. Not worth the 99 cents I paid for it.


title: Excellent articles and photography

text: I was so pleased with the quality of the writing and the photography. The articles are in-depth, but written for the interested general public, not scientists. From the letters to the editor, they obviously have some long-term devotees.


title: If you want your daughter to grow up to be responsible adult than this isn't the magazine for you.

text: This is fully of brain draining drama and superficial trash. None of which is productive for your child that you care so much about. Don't let them read this. Encourage them to read the books and take trips and learn about the world and most of all teach them how to be responsible adults.


title: My daughter loves this as part of her Christmas gift every year!

text: Gift


title: One Star

text: will not renew


title: False Advertising

title: Home-Kit-Bake-Cook-Design-Beauty-Trends!

text: LOVE THIS MAG!!! Always have good tips and tricks for the home and kitchen. Learning new simple ways of living with class and elegance on a budget!


Love all the different ideas.


title: Good gossip magazine-geared towards teenagers

text: This magazine used to be a favorite of mine. I signed up for the great offer through Amazon for 12 issues for $1. The magazine is geared more toward teenagers now, in my opinion. Gossip on MTV shows and people I've never heard of. It's ok, but I wouldn't renew it or pay more than $1 for it!


title: Love it!!!

text: I love this magazine!  Nothing else to say other than it's incredibly informative, gives great ideas, has plans to build something in each episode, and makes you laugh.  I will always renew this subscription.


title: A Good Read...And Great Content

text: This is a great magazine, I love the content, the features, the stories, the reviews etc.  I like the mix between reading the stories and the fashion sense that the magazine covers.  Awesome read and a big thumbs up!


title: Ok magazine

text: Like the magazine. Just wish it had more content.


title: TERRIBLE....DONT BUY

text: terrible, it is not the popular science I remember....and I cant unsubscribe.....TERRIBLE.....DONT BUY


title: Astronomy at the right price.

text: I tried to purchase Astronomy from the publisher but they seem to think no one else can sell their publication. They tried to price me the subscription for $20.00 more than from Amazon.  Good magazine but come one and get the price right.


title: Hot Topics

text: Well written, current. Not a lot of fluff and fillers.


title: I get Bloomberg for the last 10 years

text: It was a gift.


title: nice magazine

text: Informative


title: Five Stars

text: love reading it.


title: A classic go to magazine

text: I love this magazine!


title: Great Magazine

text: Just got my first issue of Handyman magazine. This magazine has great articles and reviews of products. They reviews have good information and are not just the high dollar items you see in other magazines. I look forward to future issues!


I was very pleased to quickly receive the digital subscription for TV Guide, after having been a subscriber for more years than I remember.  However, this week they have switched to a new format for the listings.  Even in the print copy it is down to one tight page now.  I buy for the listings and it's now so small that it's hard to read.  There's little to no information about a program.  I thought people mainly bought the magazine for that part of it.  I remember when they at least had a page telling what was on during the daytime and when.  Now we are reduced to one tight page of prime time with little description.  Not a happy camper with that part at all.  Otherwise, the service was great.


title: WH

text: Wife loved the magazine.  But keep getting renewal noticies even though it was already paid.


title: just ok

text: Disappointed thought that all issues would deal with Clean foods. Otherwise a fairly good purchase. wound recommend for overall information.


title: Five Stars

text: Great tips


title: OK for photos

text: Nice layout and photos.  The writers seem like someone they pulled out of school and told them to write about a gun.  There is no flow to the writing and the writer does a horrible job of trying to explain the gun they are reviewing.


title: Important to people looking for a place to retire, crime rate statistics, you wont find in this magazine

text: This magazine consists of reviews, and recommendations, and information about places to retire. It focuses on things seniors are interested in like climate and cities features like museums and universities, and cost of living. It even has a two-page-spread cost of living comparison chart in every issue. But one piece of information that is of extreme importance to seniors looking for a place to retire that you wont find in this magazine is crime rate statistics. I'd like to see this magazine publish a two-page-spread crime rate statistics comparison chart.


title: First for Women Magazine

text:
This is my favorite magazine. I don't bother buying any others. I've gained a lot of practical and useful information over the years of reading it. I finally broke down and got a subscription, which saves a lot of money. I am always looking for the latest news in the health and diet genera; mostly holistic approaches interest me, and First always includes unbiased finds and trends so I can make up my own mind if it will work for me. They have recently started including a section on herbs and spices, how they help you and how to include them in your meal planning with plenty of recipes to get you started. About three years ago I started compiling a personal database of their information to help me better understand my body and how to improve it. First has divided the magazine into sections like health, love, kids, food, decorating, etc. I read every word. It's the only magazine I have ever found I can say that about.

If I had a negative comment it would be that they have started including a lot more advertizing (mostly for dangerous diet drugs) and have started putting coupons here and there. I don't mind the coupons, but they should be placed in their own section so you don't have to lose an article because you wanted to use a coupon.


title: Gift subscription

text: This was a gift subscription for my daughter.  She enjoys it enough that I renewed it for her. I think she likes that it covers a wide variety of areas.


title: Superb magazine

text: Just received first 2 copies recently.  Absolutely no complaints, except ...  I received the Aug issue 2 DAYS after 'Big Boy' went through West Chicago.  I live in Chicago!


title: Five Stars

text: Love it....I look forward to receiving it every few weeks.


title: Too many gear reviews, not enough content

text:
I've subscribed to this magazine since the 1970's. For a lot of that time, it was the only guitar magazine widely available. It provided a great deal of instructional content, especially the columns which ran for years, and which were like taking monthly lessons from top players.
Unfortunately, the instructional content is an afterthought these days, relegated to a few quick one page riff ideas by random people each month. The magazine is almost totally consumed by "gear reviews", of which they seem quite proud. It's obviously an attempt to stay on the good side of all the equipment manufacturers who buy advertising. I'm profoundly bored with all the equipment content. The articles and interviews with players are getting shorter and shorter. The unspoken message seems to be "Don't worry about learning how to play what you have, just get out there and buy more stuff."
Their choices of cover artists are also getting more and more "flavor of the month"-oriented (when they aren't showing equipment on the cover). They'll run very short articles on great players, then give the cover and longest article to someone more known for their sense of fashion or appearances in celebrity gossip columns than for their guitar playing.
And don't get me started on their editor's monthly sermon on how we should all be out there creating "great art". Zzz...


Great deal

text: This is my favorite magazine. I was going to oder it from France but it was too expensive. This first issue arrived on the due date and for an excellent price.


title: Love this magazine!!

text: I have been reading this magazine for years and I really enjoy it. I love the recipes and the articles. Great ino on traveling as a vegan, vegan restaurants, politics, etc. Highly recommend it!


title: Five Stars

text: First issue came without a hitch and had no problems or issues thereafter. No delays in getting issues either.


title: Magazine is Good, but Customer Service is TERRIBLE!

text:
First, the customer service. Like so many others who have posted reviews and countless others who have not, I feel prompted to write a review after having had the misfortune of dealing with the Artist's Magazine "customer service." Perhaps, it would more aptly be termed customer disservice. Essentially, after declining to renew for 2013 (while choosing to continue receiving 2012 issues) the Artist's Magazine failed to send me my remaining issues (November and December 2012). I contacted the Artist's Magazine customer service immediately and explained the situation, to which the representative responded that my subscription had ended, that was it. I wrote back explaining things again and also wrote to Amazon. Amazon responded quickly and reimbursed me for the missing issues, while the AM representative did not respond again. To top it off, the story that the AM rep. told to Amazon and that was relayed to me and the story I was told directly by the AM rep. don't line up. I am still very annoyed about the whole ordeal. I paid for the subscription for two years (20 issues) and only received 18 issues. The company refused to send me what I purchased. Thank you for the effort Amazon and no thanks to the Artist's Magazine!
Also, EVERY single issue came to me damaged and I mean very damaged- torn, crumpled, holes etc. in the cover and throughout the magazine. I mentioned the issue to the customer service rep. and suggested they send the magazine wrapped in plastic, but received no response to my complaint/suggestion.
Customer service is the foundation for any good business, if you continue to take advantage of your customers, you will no longer have any!
As for the magazine content, I have no complaints. There is enough variety to suit most any artist's interest. The magazine has articles about upcoming/important shows, how-to demos, artist profiles, contains images and articles about a variety of mediums (oil, acrylic, pastel, encaustic, watercolor, etc) and genres (portrait, still life, landscape, abstract, etc.) I always found something, usually a few things that I enjoyed in each issue.


title: excellent magazine for any knitter!

text: I don't knit but my girlfriend does, and I love the way her eyes light up every time an issue shows up in the mailbox. She reads through the magazine within a couple of days and then uses the patterns as needed. I have read through different magazines with her and could see how many and how varied the designs were. This magazine is the only one that we renew year after year. I would recommend this to any knitter that enjoys trying new designs or even getting different points of view on old designs.


title: Digital is ok.

text: The digital is ok. Not really my thing I guess. The hard copies are good. But they mailed me a previous month instead of a future month. A little disappointed.


title: Great Magazine!

text: This is the only magazine I pay to subscribe to and at $15 a year - it's a steal.  I have yet to skip a page!


title: I like it

text: I like this magazine although at times some of the report seem bias or paid commercials. I know they swear is not but after a while of being a subscriber you start noticing coincidenceses. I still like it enough to be a subscriber, is informative, and helps to save money.


title: Magazine does not exist

text: This magazine is our of print as of summer 2019 - do not purchase at this time.


title: Good magazine

text: AWESOME!


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome


title: Obnoxious

text: I have requested multiple times over the years through multiple forms of contact for this magazine to end our subscription and to stop sending us material. My son also filled out one of those postcards for a prize when we first subscribed, and it only leads to extra charges. Highlights, in my opinion, are crooks. They need to either stop publishing or stop scamming families.


title: Ok magazine, but super biased

text: The writing is fancy, and some of the stories are interesting, but most of the time recently, it is just becoming a propaganda wing for the most radical Leftist ideas.<br />Harpers, please pull it back write more unbiased stuff and you will be trusted more.


title: Beware

text: This is 1 magazine not a subscription. Quite misleading. Avoid this scam


title: Editors Ruined Magazine w/New Format

text:
I agree with every single review here that gives Fine Cooking five stars.  It was always my favorite food magazine -- with the focus on proper technique, rather than upon fancy pictures put together by food "stylists," rather than cooks.

"Was" is the operative word though.  This year Fine Cooking felt it had to "fix" something that was nowhere near "broke" and they turned FC into exactly the "food stylist" type of magazine that had sent me into the arms of Fine Cooking to begin with.  The new format is all style over substance; indeed, there are so many "pretty" stylized pictures that it is now difficult to read -- the text gets lost.

FC also lost the unique personal style from the original FC -- the old format had these simple articles, oftentimes with a cook giving you the take on a single technique or ingredient.  The cook was right there with you, with their hands on the food, and their smiling face beaming at you the beginning of the article.  It looked like real food being cooked in front of you by a real person, rather than stylized food being glossed up with shellac before a hot camera.

Alas, that is all gone now.  There are still a few good recipes, such as the excellent "Grill Braising" article by Bruce Aidells (my guess is that Bruce was under contract before they changed the format).  But why wasn't Bruce in the shots, instead of these picture-perfect creations? And why did the text have to be so difficult to read?

I can say I am not alone in my disdain; others I know here were also heartbroken when the format changed, and the online blogs and FC's own blog included many angered by the change.  Some did like it -- but then there are lots of people who do like these "stylized" publications, I'm just not one of them.  Its just not what I looked for in Fine Cooking.  My subscription has now lapsed, although I hope they bring back the old format (my guess is that they lost many subscribers).

In any event -- I thought that this review was necessary to give fair warning to those reading the OLD reviews about the OLD FC format. "New" is not always necessarily "improved."

UPDATE:  Alas, FC remains ruined, but I found a great way to stoke my old flame:  I started buying back issues of FC on eBay starting from February 1994.  I had only started reading FC in 2000, so now I have 6 years of back issues. What a joy, they still pop with timeless articles showcasing fine food and techniques.  But here is the real reason for my upgraded post.  In the very first issue, the Publisher Jan Wahlin set out the "mission statement" of Fine Cooking and it is telling:

"[A]s you can see from this first issue, Fine Cooking is not just another food magazine. Its about the _hows_, and more importantly, the _whys_ of cooking. Its written by cooks, for cooks like you. The photos are not just pretty pictures taken on a set, using props to accent finished dishes. These are photos of real cooks in real kitchen."  FC, No. 1, Feb/March 1994, at 4 (emphasis in original)

If only the present editors would read that mission statement and return to FC's roots.  I really wish Alice Waters, or someone else, would buy the franchise and bring it back to its old glory. Bengoshi


title: One Stop Shopping for the latest in Mysteries

text: The Strand is an excellent resource for the latest in the mystery genre.  Book reviews,author short stories, and interviews are the highligts for me.  I even enjoy the advertisments because they focus on the latest mysteries hitting the shelves.  The only disappointment is that it is only published four times a year - so sad!!!!


title: Great reading for an amazing console!

text: Well, ordered this a few weeks back and was expecting it to arrive in March. To my surprise, it arrived almost a whole month earlier! Talk about great service. The magazine is awesomely written and even includes a demo disc with each issue! Instead of paying over $10.00 per magazine at a news stand, this costs only $25.00 for an entire year!


title: Icreate Magazine--Magazine for the Macintosh Enthusiast

text: This is the best Macintosh device and computer magazine on the retail magazine market today. It is a quality magazine that gives concise explanations with great colored illustrations and pictures. The magazine is devoted to tutorials for the Mac enthusiast with an explanation of how Mac software can be used to facilitate entertainment and business.


title: MACHINIST WORKSHOP

text: If you like working in metal you should be reading this magazine.  I work with rather small machines so I may have to scale down some of the projects to fit my machines


title: Digital Machinist

title: Not great for 3 year-olds, but a nice magazine for slightly older kids

text: After reading numerous online reviews of magazines for 3 year-olds, I finally decided on subscriptions to Click and Chirp. After getting both for a few months, Chirp is the clear winner, at least at this age (3 1/2). My son is VERY academically-minded...he's obsessed with numbers, is already reading, and craves (and actually listens to) detailed explanations of how EVERYTHING works. So I thought that Click would be a good fit for him. But it is a bit denser than what he's ready for right now. I expect it will be perfect for him in a year or two. Chirp, on the other hand, is very engaging to him, filled with brief cartoons and fun activities that are a perfect fit for his attention span right now. He's also been getting National Geographic Little Kids magazine since shortly after his 2nd birthday, and that has been a good one. It's honestly what prompted me to look at other magazines, because he really enjoyed getting that one, but it only comes every 2 months, which is a long time to wait when you're 2 or 3 years old. It is a really good one for very young kids, with lots of nice activity pages suited to that age (though not quite as downright fun and engaging as Chirp, which we really have fallen in love with).


title: SO FUN!

text: My 3 1/2 year-old son LOVES this magazine, and I think it's pretty cool, too. He'd already been getting National Geographic Little Kids for a year and had been liking that, but it only comes once every 2 months, which is a long time to wait when you're 2 or 3 years old. I read reviews of a bunch of different magazines for his age and narrowed it down to this and Click, and ultimately decided to just get both. Chirp is the clear winner, at least at this age. It's just too fun not to love. My son is VERY academically-minded...he is obsessed with numbers and is already reading, he craves (and actually listens to) detailed explanations of how EVERYTHING works. The descriptions I read of Click magazine made me think it would be a good fit for him, and he does enjoy it (though he isn't interested in the whole magazine, just a few pages of each issue). But he loves Chirp. All of it. He knows (because it tells you in the last pages) what theme is coming in the next issue, and is always asking when, for instance, the Baby Animals issue will arrive. Each issue is filled with activities and short cartoons...things that are engaging enough to grab the attention of a little person. I highly recommend this magazine for young kids! And I did not have the delayed arrival problem that some reviewers have reported. I ordered the subscription during the last week of December and we received the Feburuary issue in a little under 6 weeks from the time I'd placed the order. You can also find free, fun, educational, advertisement-free Chirp online games at http://www.cbc.ca/kidscbc1/games/chirp-games.

title: Indispensable Source

text: The Economist is by far my favorite magazine. The topical coverage, writing style, and editorial objectivity are indispensable to me in this day of partial news and questionable analyses.


title: Love the magazine

text: Love the magazine.  Hate the constant high pressure from marketing to re-subscribe constantly.  That's why I like digital magazine's now.


title: love the unique cusine from different countries,

text: Love it. Nice layout. Very professional. I am sure this is the best magazine in this category. Think i will use it fir the holidays.


title: Large print Readers digest

text: This also was a gift for my husnads 84 yr.old sister. She enjoys reading it. It's wonderful, with the large print. Every month she looks for it in the mail. It helps her with her memory loss. Again, I say Thank You


title: magazine

text: Like this magazine. Tosca Reno is a favorite clean eating author of mine and her husband's company puts out this magazine. Lots of good recipes and health tips.


title: Who Wrote What?

text: The biggest problem for me is there is no authorship of the articles provided. It is hard for me to accept anything that does not have someone's name on it.


title: Great magazine, very good articles.

text: I have always liked Elle. Excellent content.


title: poor communication

text: When I tried to renew my subscription I was asked to click on a country, but the United States wasn't on the list and I couldn't type it in. They wouldn't accept my renewal without it, so I guess I can't renew with PayPal. After reading the other reviews, I hesitate to send a check--too bad; it is an informative little newsletter


title: Love love love

text: Love this magazine and digital viewing is amazing with the shop from app option I'm a happy girl! Love allure


title: All read up

text: Enjoyable magazine


title: Auto renewal is cool tho.

text: Its a magazine.... Auto renewal is cool tho...


title: Perfect gift for horse lovers

text: Gave this to my aunt who loves horses.  She loves the magazine.  The artwork is great and she has saved every issue.  A good gift idea would be to buy a magazine holder and put the gift subscription notice printout in it and wrap it up.


title: Good for what it is

text:
I am somewhat of an unordinary child. Growing up, I always used to read about watches and movements from magazines around the house. About a while back, I picked up an issue of watch time and absolutely fell in love. They covered many watches in the affordable range and also gave me us an inside look at the very prestigious brands that I could never afford, but it was nice to get a glimpse of the work of arts. It was very well balanced, many articles for every collector. However, recently the issues have shifted towards the luxury brands and completely ditched the affordable watches. Watch time shifted from being a balanced magazine to a much more high end watch magazine for the rich. It is still a fun magazine to pick up and read about various aspects of the watch industry, however if you are someone like me who cannot afford the big names just yet and appreciate collecting and reading upon affordable watches, then you will be disappointed with Watch Time.

It is still a fun read at the end of the day. If you are someone such as me who loves reading on horology  and gaining new knowledge, then you will still appreciate watch time. If you are someone who prefers variety, and an inside look at the more affordable watches, then you are better off not subscribing.


title: layout not kids (reader) friendly, non-engaging

text: subscribed to this despite multiple negative reviews. should have heard to those. there are enough feedback and NG should address it. i am already looking for alternative options.


title: Okay

text: This is almost completely "unschooling" and very light on homeschooling.  There are many articles with personal rants against structure.  That's fine, I guess.  However, with the title of "Home Education Magazine," I was hoping for more diversity and perhaps some insights into homeschooling.  It is very strong on rants and opinion, and very light on substance.


title: Shady marketing

text: My daughter  received 2 puzzle books. I thought it was just part of the subscription. Suddenly I get a bill for $23 with late fees and shipping and threats of it going into collections. Don't order Highlights Magazine.


title: Hey, it's TV Guide

text:
Loves me TV Guide
But I sure miss the old days
When it was smaller

What is there to say about TV Guide? I mean, I think most folks already know if this is a magazine for them or not. If you love TV, I'd say go for it. It really isn't very expensive for a weekly publication. There are pretty good articles about the shows we all love and talk about. Still, most of the magazine is filled with daily TV listings. Is that really necessary anymore? Doesn't pretty much everyone have on-screen listings at this point? I NEVER, EVER look at the listings in TV Guide. Like Playboy, I just get it for the articles. Ha.


title: Woohoo

text: I received my first issue in a timely manner and I love EVERY SINGLE PAGE contained in it. It is full of useful, informative, and fun information.


title: Great Music Business Mag

text: This magazine is packed with good music business information. It has frequent interviews with heavy decision makers and could be used as a good source for understanding current and future trends within the industry. This is a must have for anyone who is or wishes to enter the music industry. That being said it isn't perfect. It doesn't provide information backed by credible research. If a business provides subpar service you'll never know it until after the fact. It also doesn't do well in terms of providing tips, tricks, and how-tos, but if you want to know about available resources or read the perspective of business leaders this is a good magazine to purchase.

title: The best tasting simplified for any cook

text: Cooks Country is as basic as a beginner course in home economics. The instructions, pictures and analysis of each recipe guarantees success for even the most novice cook. Experienced cooks will enjoy the analysis and tweaking of favorite recipes to bring them to their best taste and presentation.

title: Not what it used to be...

text: Being a younger man that loves reading about America's past I must say I am not your average reader. I used to thoroughly enjoy this magazine as my guilty pleasure with a hot cup of coffee! However, the magazine is not what it used to be and for me its no longer a door to a past I want to visit. The magazine as of late has become much more modern with so many color photographs. I just don't consider the 1970's to be vintage. When I first started getting this magazine just about every photograph was black and white with stories from the 1920's, 30's and 40's. Maybe they ran out of content but I now find myself reminiscing about the old Reminisce!


title: No Hipocracy Here, It's All Healthy!

text: Unlike many magazines that claim to be healthy, this one really is.  I always find recipes that are simple enough not to overwhelm me and tasty to boot!

title: Where's the magazine?

text: I can't review this because, unlike the other magazine that I ordered at the same time, this one hasn't arrived.  I'll revise my comments if I ever see the product.


title: Don't waste your time unless you're looking for very basic information.

text:
This magazine really has gone downhill and it's a shame.  I first subscribed about 20 years ago, and there was decent information in there and some fun things to build.  I subscribed again this past year, redeeming some airline miles for a year subscription, and it's not even worth that.

The first issue I received had very short, maybe 1/4 page articles that touched on some of the basics of what they were talking about, but not much more than the bullet points of the topic.  Gone are the in-depth analysis of yesteryear's issues and the magazine gone to the mainstream, dumbed down 'analysis,' if you could call it that.

The main article of that first issue was something like 'how to drive without GPS.'  It was about a 4-5 page article about not using the GPS in your car and actually using a map.  Really, this is a place where readers of popular mechanics need help?  If it is, then the magazine is probably lost forever.

Gone are the days of fixing engines, building gadgets, and learning actually how things work.  I'm sad to see that in an era of almost unlimited learning through the internet, Popular Mechanics has decided instead to write very basic articles that are probably also covered in Good Housekeeping.....

Edit:  Case in point, latest issue talked about how to cut your own hair, 3 different types of barbecue sauces you can make, and a holiday gift guide that's more apt for GQ as they recommended buying a $125 name brand flannel shirt.  If you can get the subscription for free, there are usually 1-2 decent articles that may spark your curiosity to look up the topics online to find actual analysis.  If you can't get it for free, save your money and just visit their website and avoid all the Good Housekeeping and GQ topics.

text: This is my favorite magazine.  I used to buy it at the store every time I saw a new one,but got smart and ordered a subscription.


title: They don't respect subscribers

text:
Instead of listening to their readers outrage about a certain person featured on the cover, they called it a conspiracy.

"Over the weekend, we received an usually large influx of negative Facebook comments regarding our October cover subject, Vani Hari (a.k.a. The Food Babe). As a whole, these comments bear the earmarks of an industry-coordinated response — one designed to appear as though it is coming from individual consumers, but that is motivated and subsidized by a behind-the-scenes special interest. You can learn more about this phenomenon here: [...].

In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and understanding."


title: Poor delivery - Updated

text:
I placed an order on December 31, 2012 and was charged January 5. The delivery estimate was March 22, 2013; which I think was too long from payment received. I received the April 2013 issue and have not received another issue to date (July 12, 2013) This is a monthly publication is it not? Yes I have reported the problem through Amazon. The magazine is also at least 75% advertisements. I will not subscribe to Our State again.

UPDATE 7/28/2013 I have started receiving the magazine again and my subscription has been extended to cover the missed issues. I commend the company for addressing and correcting this problem. I do enjoy the articles, but I expected much less advertising. I have increased my rating to 3 star "It's OK" due to their fixing the problem I had.


title: Classic Auto Restorer

text: I haven't received an issue yet. Get back to me when I get at least one issue. Then I'll actually have an opinion.


title: Great magazine and informative read!

text: Liked the content, and the articles published. This is my second year subscribing and it has not failed to garner interest in the latest handguns in the market.


title: Almost "Maximum" PC...

text: I subscribe to this magazine.  I really like it, too.  But, once you get into specialized hardware, Maximum PC seems pretty "behind".  For instance, they gush and slobber over Plextor CD-RWs, yet Lite-On CD-RWs have MORE capabilities (i.e. they can burn the correct EFM encoding on CD-Rs like Plextor BUT they can also burn 99 minute 850 MB CDs which Plextor can't) and Lite-On costs about HALF as much!  But, Lite-On doesn't advertise in Maximum PC like Maximum's Plextor benefactors.  Also, Asus Tek has been making a GeForce3 video card with video capture capabilities for several months now...seems more "Maximum" than the plain old "gaming" video cards they cream over (literally perfect 10 ratings).  I don't recall seeing Asus Tek ads in their magazine....hmmmm.  Let's face it, they provide "Maximum" exposure for their advertisers, not the hoped for "Maximum PC" OBJECTIVE hardware reviews in general.  Maximum PC is a great medium for beginning your research...perhaps a more apt title would be "Medium PC."

bought this back in 2014
subscription ran until June 2015
it was sent directly to the father of my children who was in the federal jail in Philly at the time
personally I'm not into celeb gossip magazines & this is that for hip hop


title: not impressed

text:
bought this subscription back in 2011 for a year of monthly delivery until 2012
no issued with getting the magazine
the reason for 3 stars is that the content didn't really impress me
seemed to blend in with all these type of magazines
didn't renew (or so I thought but it appears I did renew in 2012 so I got this monthly until 2013)


title: loved this magazine when I was younger

text:
this purchase is for a subscription I ordered that came to me from 2009 to 2010
there was no issue with this order
the content of this magazine is for women in their early 20s so I no longer find it appealing however it was good when it suited my interests
also renewed in 2012 to get through 2013


title: love this magazine

text: I can't get enough of the information this magazine provides!  Practical and inspiring!  I would recommend this magazine to anyone!


title: I'd like to make life more simple

text: I subscribed to this because it was on a $5 sale on here and I thought "sure, I'd like to make life more simple." I was very impressed with the first few issues I received, but after that my mail man or the publisher forgot about me and so I only received 5 magazines out of the 12.. As far as the content, it is pretty helpful, although I didn't need the parenting information because I have no children.

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for over a decade. I have read the reviews from several years ago staying how full of ads this magazine is and short on content. The magazine recently changed leadership and the content and format have gone back to very close to the excellent magazine I remember. I recommend this magazine to everyone. For the cost of a couple of coffees, make your own decision.

title: This was a gift for my son.

text: This magazine is Great! My dad read it all his life. And as kids, my siblings and I also got to read it. When my son was old enough to enjoy it, he started reading it also. Makes a great gift for anyone, male or female.


title: Popular Science

text:
This is a magazine I grew up with,as it was one of my dad's favorite. It's really great for kids as young as 5yrs old.  Why? because it starts them to wonder about everything. . . .  Like what's possible in the future or maybe in the next couple of years.  And as they grow-up they keep thinking along those lines.  That helps our kids to invent new things.  Maybe solve a problem for someone else.  Be great if it was in the medical field!
It gives hopes to every new generation. And most important it's not only just for the guys!  I've given several subscriptions over the years to both boys and girls. Young adults and grown men and women. So far no returns.
Before buying this magazine look it over at the store or in the Library.

text: I subscibed to O when it first came out but then it was $18 and didn't renew after three years. For $5 I enjoy it again. I gave it three stars, because it's not relatable in my life. Example - an add for mascara - I refuse to pay $75.00 for mascara, but it's fun to browse.

title: Very Informative

text: I'm a big fan of the NGS. They are well known for producing good documentaries, the magazine is to the same par. Each issue has the first half of the book with short articles and brilliant photos/images followed a couple of articles in detail covering various topics. Love NGS and Love the magazine.

Was interesting but seemed to have a lot of ads.
Maybe I am just not part of the magazine generation.

Did have some interesting beers to look for though!


title: Wonderful, informative, fun

text: We started getting this when my daughter was six, and it's been a staple of her out-of-school education and fun time ever since. Great information, a huge variety of animals covered, great photography. Couldn't be happier.


It is very basic and I mean very. If you can read and apply your reading you can easily complete any of their projects.


my 11-year old son briefly goes through the magazine.  a couple more years of science may make allow the magazine to be better received.


title: Five Stars

text: my 11-year old son loves this magazine


title: Very Motivating and Informative

text:
This magazine helps you understand Buddhism a little bit at a time. It, however enormously motivates you to meditate. Especially in the western culture, where materialism is so rampant, there is little to motivate you to sit still and spend time with yourself. This magazine makes me want to meditate, learn more and find answers to some of the difficult question sthat arise. It also helps me select the right books to deepen my practice. There is roughly equal representation of Tibbatan Buddhism, Zen and the Vipassana traditions, and quite often, much to my joy, there is such an amalgamation of these three main divisions. What ever lineage you may belong to, or want to pursue, you would still like the basic oneness of the Buddha's teaching.
Those interested in Buddhism should also look into "The Shambhala Sun" magazine, which comes every 2 months and which, though leans more towards Tibbatan Buddhism, does carry superb articles, book reviews and practical instructions. I think it is every bit as useful as Tricylcle.
Lastly those more inclined towards Zen Buddhism would like "The Mountain record", a quarterly magazine. It seems too abstract to me though, although I appreciate some of the articles and practically all the superb photographs it has in black and white.


title: Super Exciting

text: As an avid backpacker, this magazine is my new favorite! I had no idea it existed until recently and now I can read up on the newest gear, some greatest adventures to try, and some local hiking paths that deserve to be shouted to everyone. KEeps me up to date on the new happenings and does a great job at getting me excited to go out and backpack!

title: "Gaudy Interior Design Digest" would be a better name...

text:
My wife and I ordered a year's subscription to Architectural Digest.  Roughly 0% of the content in the issues we received had anything to do with architecture.  This magazine would be better named "Gaudy Interior Design Digest."

The typical issue is ~75% advertising (the same brands and oftentimes the exact same ads from issue to issue), with two or three articles on featured homes where they show off the interior design.

In addition to this, the featured styles/designs were always uninspiring and we typically thumbed through each newly-arrived magazine during morning coffee and tossed it in the recycling bin because there was nothing worth going back and looking at again.  No articles worth reading and even the eye candy pictures weren't that pleasing.  We are now giving Atomic Ranch and Dwell a shot.  We ordered Atomic Ranch four months ago and still haven't received an issue, and just ordered Dwell so we'll see how long that takes to arrive.

I'd recommend buying this from a newsstand first to see if you like the content before committing to a year's subscription.


title: Two Stars

text: Too many liquor adds! I bought it for cigars not liquor!


title: Great recipes

text: I got this for my mom and she's loved it. She really enjoys the recipes


title: Too many ads.

text: Used to be a great magazine, but it devolved into a mostly advertisement platform with recipes and short tips. I went through and tore out all pages with full page ads on both sides, and the darn thing is about half the size with most pages still have an ad on a page. If second issue is as bad, Im returning.


title: This magazine is in French

text: I bought a subscription to this publication, and after much anticipation it arrived. I cannot comment on the quality of the writing, or the merit of the articles because it is in French. I do not know French. I didn't realize this when I ordered it, but I guess it's cool to receive mail from France... I am saving my magazines for when I meet someone that can read French, until then this publication will remain a mystery to me.


title: ... a bit dumb neo-right but great research information, site is slow and overloaded with ads

text: Good for the world that the founder, William McNiel, is dead. He became one of those angry right-wing white guys and the paper was getting worse and worse. They have been purchased recently and I was hoping the web site would change/improve... but not yet. The site is very heavy on advertising so much so slow connections will have trouble using it so don't purchase unless you have fast internet.<br />I very much value the solid charts and consistent educational materials. I reread the book regularly. The system William McNiel founded, in my opinion, is pre computer algorithms playing the markets, and therefor not so reliable. Over time and study you learn and this site is great for that need.... and the great charts!

text: I read the magazine from cover to cover. There are so many tips and wonderful recipes that I don't want to miss any of them. A fabulous product at a very affordable price.


title: Ugh, could you be any older?

text: This  magazine focuses soooooo hard on making women over 40 feel young that it actually makes me feel old!<br />Can't stand this magazine.  Need the pertinent and relevant issues for a professional woman 40+ but don't need to read how to feel better about not being under 40.  This magazine should find a way to stop making excuses and finding justification for getting old.


title: Couldn't resist subscribing to this magazine at this great price

text: Fabulous recipes and ideas are featured in this magazine at a very affordable price; way less than the supermarkets check-out lanes.


title: Great rates for magazine subscription for magazines

text: I have gotten this magazine subscription from various sources over the last decade, but the price on Amazon could not be beat.  Very informative for things to do and restaurants to eat at when in New York City.  Plus, the articles are great.

I have reached out to the publisher multiple times and have not heard anything back regarding the status of my subscription.


title: I Love This Mag....

text: I'm not a huge Oprah fan but I do love this magazine. In fact, I gave it away a few years ago as a gift subscription and the folks were upset that I didn't renew for them. I read A LOT of magazines but this one is the best. It talks about different things for everyday people and it seems to stick to it's demographic. If you want a magazine with  a little substance - not just the same old recycled hair, make-up, clothes and sex tips - this is it.  The only thing I don't like is Oprah's Favorite Things (I'm not sure if that's the title of the section). Oprah's "picks" are always very nice but they are way over the average person's budget.


title: Love it!

text:
A friend gave me his first issue and personally I was most impressed. I consider myself an "athlete" . I bike on the road and
 mountain bike. Hike ~snowshoe and inline skate. I am not a elite biker . I am not in the elite category of anything I do. I am a good athlete that enjoys what I do.  I am sure the negative comments come from the elitist biker who probably does know all of this info.
I find this magazine geared to the 75% of us who have an open mind and find there is always something new to learn. I found the articles
informative and interesting and honestly... a bargain! I may need to buy my own subscription since I don't want to wait for my friend to
give it to me ~ don't want to wait... want it in the mailbox asap. Keep up the good work Bicycling Magazine.

title: Inclusive???

text: Used to read this after a liberal friend of  mine recommended it for fair objective news. Recently The Nation removed its sheep's clothing and declared itself as an extreme left wing wolf. Easier for me to subscribe to the democrat cause than pay for heavily slanted political dogma. In particular, it expressed outrage by Trump support rather than pondering why 60M+ people and the heartland of the country voted for a man so different and irritating in all he says. The Nation which claims inclusivity scorns those union members who voted for Trump while their leaders subscribed to Hillary. To the objective and inquisitive mind, this is a subject worth exploring. I find the Nation's childish whining quite simply boring.

title: The same issue 4 times

text: I received 4 of the same issue.


title: Used to focus on the trades

text: I’ve subscribed to this magazine religiously over 20 years ago and couldn’t wait for the next issue to arrive in the mail back then. Was full of craftsman ideas, tips & tricks & a lot of how to focusing on the trades. That it seems has all been lost in present day articles. There is not enough content aimed at the craftsman or the trades anymore, and as others mentioned, has turned into how to make your house pretty with very little craftsman content unfortunately. They need to reel that back in to keep subscribers in my opinion is why I haven’t subscribed in years. Even at a great price.<br />I still very much love the show because at least they stick with what was intended from the beginning, how to, home projects and the art of the trades at work.

I also feel like this magazine has less "fluff" than others, I like the real people input, and it doesn't seem overly ad heavy. Bravo!

OK, maybe not balanced in its political allegiance, but that's also why I like it. No surprise also that the articles and commentary are picked up by influential people and organizations from diverse arenas. I musn't forget to say that the price also makes it excellent value.

I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this informative magazine has been for a newbie travel trailer camper such as myself.

I highly recommend "Trailer Life" to all campers that own a travel trailer, or is thinking about purchasing one.

You will be glad that you ordered it, and the price is right.

The only downside for me about this magazine is when I am finished reading my last months issue, I can't wait to read the next months issue.

text: I used to praise this magazine.  I love tech and read every issue cover to cover but there is little content now. It's just filled with ads and it seems the page layouts for the magazine is getting harder to navigate every year for the sake of style points. There is still the occasional good article or two but it's just not worth it.  Surprisingly, Fortune Magazine is now the better magazine to read if you want to read about technology--they have meatier articles that talk about technologies being used or developed by companies...articles that Wired used to have a lot of.  Do yourself a favor and skip Wired, they are not the same anymore.


title: Magazine

text: Bought for my grandson and he loves it.


title: Item

text: Great item


title: Interesting Mag

text: I enjoyed reading this magazine while I had the subscription. Unfortunately being a parent does not give me much free time anymore (or extra money) so I had to let the subscription lapse. It really is a great magazine for guys or gals who are into learning about new things and knowing how things work.


title: gone

text: Never got an RV, so gave it away


title: Do it your own things

text: So helpful and good ideas


title: Educational home craft ideas and more

text: I enjoy the topics and the purpose of the my magazine. It gave us ideas of what we need. My mom enjoy it  too.


title: Missing months?

text: Sadly I ordered this September 2019. We’ve only received one magazine in seven months. I tried to get a refund though window date was closed. Reaching seller has not been successful. I’m hoping at some point a solution will be presented so my daughter is able enjoy a full subscription as stated. On the good note the magazine we did receive came put together and look freshly printed when arriving.


title: Four Stars

text: A pretty good magazine with interesting articles.


title: Good Magazine

text: Has info you don't find elsewhere.  Wish it was a little cheaper though.


title: My Mom loves her subscription

text: Yes, such a great way to see the beauty of Va., even better get out there! But these pics and info are gold.


title: Fantastic Book - Tnings for everyone in it.

text:
I've been reading Reader's Digest since I was small and I'm 65 now.  It is a great source of news, information, and just plain clean humor in some places.

So please: Watch for the next sale RD comes on a promo here and give it a try. It's great stuf, you'll  not regret it. I have personally been read their issue for AT LEAST 50 years


title: Five Stars

text: Good book and good brain teasers.


title: Good magazine, terrible customer support.

text:
To be clear, this is a review about the Amazon Seller, not the magazine itself.  I have read the magazine in the past and find it to be very useful and a quality publication.

I placed an order in February and it is almost May now.  When I placed the order I wasn't aware that it took 12-16 weeks to start the subscription as it said in the fine print.  I am frustrated to find that the estimated shipping date is now reading June, just over 17 weeks from when it was ordered.  17 weeks seems like a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a subscription to begin, so I contacted the seller to ask about it.  No reply.

If you want my opinion, order from the magazine directly and skip Amazon on this one.  I normally love them, but the people they have fulfilling their magazine orders don't seem to care about their clients.

text: love this magazine


title: Good High Teck Publication

text: I did not purchase this mag last year.  I did purchase it a couple of years ago for my son who is a high teck person as I am.


title: very ad-heavy

text: Having been a subscriber for about a year, I find there are far too many pages of ads and not enough interesting articles to justify renewing.


title: WHERE IS IT?

text: Architectural Digest is an excellent magazine. I only wish that I had received even<br />one copy since tendering my subscription. Where is it?


title: Total enjoyment

text: Love the recipes....easy to follow


title: Best prices, no annoying phone calls from magazine resellers.

text: We're on our second two-year cycle after purchasing this for our son. He loves reading it! And the price is very reasonable. I'm not hounded by all the other magazine subscription resellers. This is the cheapest per-issue I've ever been able to buy. Some offer the three year subscriptions, which is handy, I guess, but per issue is still more expensive than this deal.


title: Not enough magazine, too much online.

text: I have subscribed to Rolling Stone for about 50 years. They do not give a rip. They put too much on line. What's up with that? And the mag is Uber-expensive. I try to spend as much as humanly possible on music. It's my life, or the most important part of it. I really love reading the critics and reviewers but not enough in the mag and too much on the line. I will not be resubscribing any more, sadly, and the Rolling Stone folks could care less, david Meinardi


title: very happy

text: Got a sub of double digest for my mother in law. She loved em!


title: Five Stars

text: Full of great tips and little projects.


title: Great Magazine

text: I love Rolling Stone - especially at such a low price! I waited a month for my first issue but now it's here and I couldn't be happier.


title: Five Stars

text: The customer service with Food & Wine is phenomenal.


Modern Trade . Formally Commodities is a classic! It has broken many of the biggest trading trends in history and is a must read for all commodity and futures traders! I am proud to be a contributor to this great publication!


title: If you move, they will not update your address until you purchase again

text:
When I requested to change my address mid way through my subscription because I had moved apartments, this was the response that Hearst Corporation (the publisher/seller of this magazine) gave me:

"Dear Valued Customer:

Thank you for contacting Popular Mechanics Customer Service.

Your address has been changed and will be effective upon renewal. Please let us know if we may further assist you with a renewal at this time.

If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. To ensure your future concerns are handled in a timely fashion, please include all previous e-mail correspondence.

Thank you,
[Name Omitted]"

I'd say that this is a super-salesy, unethical practice. You can take your own risk.


title: No digital access on Androids or Mac computers

text: Love the mag and the clutch. Unfortunately, I do not have digital access on my Android phone or my Mac computer.  I would enjoy this subscription a lot more if it was available through more digital formats.


title: Read It

text: I enjoy reading the articles in the Smithsonian. It's a reliable and reputable publication that offers thought-provoking articles. It's one of the few print mediums I still subscribe to. But really, sometimes you just need a magazine in your hand instead of a device sparkling in your eye.


title: Quality of deliverance

text: One was wet the other didn’t have much info as it once didn


title: Great magazine!

text: One of the best written magazines!


title: I'm kind of disappointed in that

text: I was excited about getting this.  But since January, I've only received one issue.  I'm kind of disappointed in that.


title: The littles love these

text: This is the third year I am getting these for my grandkids. They are always so excited to receive these in the mail. It makes them feel important and they just have so much fun working on them together.


title: Never received it

text: I actually really love this magazine and have no complaints abut it but this was a christmas gift to my niece(who loves cooking) and she never got it


title: Magazine subscription extension

text: The magazine is great.  Order processing was fast.  but, I'm trying to buy an extension to my current subscription and it's not clear from the Amazon interface if it really worked.  I'm still getting notifications from the magazine to extend.  So the proof will have to to wait until my next issue comes to see if the subscription end date is extended or if I get two copies.  So,...it would be really nice if on subscription extensions, a notification from either Amazon or the publisher would indicate that the extension actually worked.


title: outdoor life

text: Bought this for my husband who is an avid fisherman and hunter. He liked the magazine, but wasn't excited about it. After one year, I cancelled the order. He wanted a magazine with more regional information.


title: New Smaller Size...

text: I love this magazine subscription and the price was right!  The recipes are quick and yummy!


title: Great Meal Ideas!

text: I love this magazine, it is my all time favorite subscription.  There are so many recipes in Taste of Home that become a staple in my meal rotation.

title: Not Living in the Country!

text: It has improved tremendously over the last year or so, but still needs to stay consistent with the 'modern' fresh type of country living since the cutesy stuff has passed. Cooking is a hit and miss, I hate to say. Also, the ads are way too much, but otherwise I look forward to reading the magazine every month.


title: Great gift!

text: I give this magazine to my niece for her birthday every year and she loves it!  It makes shopping for her very easy!


title: Lots of ideas, but almost entirely ads and almost nothing my style

text:
I just completed my Elle Decor subscription, and will not be renewing. The only other home magazine I've bought was the now-cancelled Domino, which I loved. The houses portrayed in Elle Decor are impeccably designed, but seem like it would be impossible to actually live in the spaces shown, and I found myself completely uninterested in everything shown. The magazine is almost entirely ads, which is probably why a subscription is so inexpensive, but to be honest, a lot of the furniture advertised is garish and overpriced, or even outright ugly. I recall a specific ad: the sofa looked as though I'd accidentally picked up a 1969 copy of the magazine by accident, in the worst way. It's just not for me.

I feel my home-idea money would be better spent somewhere else. This is definitely only my opinion, because I disliked the style of decoration in the magazine, and I'm sure someone with money burning a hole in their pocket, and with similar tastes to the Elle Decor interior decorators, would be in heaven with this magazine. However, I am certainly not that person.


title: Didn't get them all

text: The magazine is cute and my son likes it bit we only have gotten 2 magazines in the last 7 months. Was supposed to be  5 issues over 6 months...so I have no idea where the rest are.


title: So many ads!

text: Couldn't believe the number of ads. Very disappointed. This mag should be free!


title: Paid for a year

text: Love the 1 I got but only ever got 1 very disappointed


title: Exotic but simple

text: I have never seen a cooking magazine like this! I found it on rbDigital from library. I am hoping the single issue will be available soon. The recipes can be deliciously exotic, but so simple. Beautiful photography as well.  I am hooked and may have to bite the bullet in retirement and spend the money on a subscription.

title: Southern Living continues to be a well-established magazine.

text: Pure enjoyment! Topics of interest, new places to go, recipes to try, and glamorous make-over ideas are only a few of the magazines topics. As you read, the articles, one is ready to begin another southern adventure. I have enjoyed this magazine for many years and especially during these pandemic days of limited traveling.


title: Five Stars

text: Okay!


title: HEY, WHERE'S THE CHIPPENDALE!

text: It's the 21st Century!  I saw this magazine in my dentist's office and said oh my gosh I need a subscription. From downtown to Down the Cape, the exteriors and interiors are updating.  Every style of home, from Federal to Cape Cod modern has been showcased before and after.  (Concord matrons hand-mend  their drapes no more).  The advertising is subtle, suits the subject so you don't notice you're looking at an ad. I like the size of the magazine and paper quality, too.  I love NE in any century.  This magazine is a wonderful presentation of today's trends in an antique environment!


title: I like the New Yorker quite a lot

text: I like the New Yorker quite a lot. I like the mix of news, commentary, and fiction, and I like that they don't try to talk down. They're just a bit pricy for me, and with the limited time I can devote to a magazine, I would much rather read The Economist, but that's just my personal preference.


title: Not Just Poses....Food for Thought, too

text: I purchased Yoga Journal primarily to read the articles that help inspire and help with confronting life challenges through meditation and mental exercises. The articles also explain the benefits of the featured yoga poses and the meaning of the poses. As a beginner and an older student (age 61), I do wish however that there were poses/instructions geared for the older, less flexible, and arthritic yoga student. Not every reader is looking to do hand-stands or leg splits. :-)  Also, purchasing the magazine via Amazon.com was very convenient.


I had to cancel this subscription before it even arrived as the recipient was being relocated and I had no forwarding address.  It was simple to do and I am pleased that it was not a big complicated process.  I'll start over when I learn where my friend is living.


title: Enjoy Reading

text: I enjoy receiving this magazine and finding new ideas and recipes.


title: Gave this as a gift

text: My husband loved this magazine. Lots of information on all types of plants. Great for any gardener. I recommend it


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent price


title: brigette woman

text:
This is a great magazine.
Long time ago, when I still lived in Germany, I read "Brigette", which is the same only for younger people.
I asked my brother to send me a copy and he included "Brigette Woman", I did not even know that that was available.
I thouroughly enjoyed reading it, finding out what goes on in Germany while being able to sharpen my German reading skills.
So, anyone wanting that experience, I highly recommend this magazine, even though it took quite some time before the subscription started arriving here.


title: Excellent For The Beginning Cook Especially If He/She Is An Engineer

text: I love the in-depth articles about food and how they go about the testing/preparations.  They are matter-of-fact and provides a ho-holds-barred assessment of products.  Excellent magazine!


title: What Should We Try Tonight?

text: Gave subscriptions to our daughters and friends (eight subscriptions in all).  They loved the magazine especially the little book on the inside about "50 things".  Wonderful magazine!


Since 1987 I have been a subscriber to this magazine.  I got on board pretty much at the peak of the publication. It was the magazine' 20th anniversary at that time, and music was still bought and consumed at record stores like Tower.  Bands still put out albums.  All of that has changed.  My subscription to this "music" magazine will not be renewed by me after my final issue in April 2017.  Why you ask? Well, quite simply this publication has turned into a political platform for liberal hacks.  In the 80's the question was:  Where's the Beef? The question I have kept asking myself these past 5 years or so about Rolling Stone has been: Where's the Music? Almost 90% of every issue is devoted to liberal political agendas and bias. Meanwhile music has all but disappeared from the pages. Record reviews ( once the strength of the mag) have shrunken to 3 or 4 per issue. The paper is cheap, the ad inserts are annoying, I could go on and on.  A once great music magazine is now nothing but landfill material the second I take it out of the mailbox.  Buh bye Rolling Stone.  After 30 years I am Rolling away.


title: I only got the first month!

text: Only the first month of my subscription arrived. My other magazines showed up on-time and as ordered. True, I should I have probably contacted Texas Monthly to find out what happened, but I work two jobs and didn't have the time. The special price I got designed to ensure I renew and purchase at a normal price failed - an undelivered product is worse than one you don't like!


title: Would have been great if I had ever received a single issue of ...

text: Would have been great if I had ever received a single issue of the magazine.  Received renewal notices.  Received other correspondences.  Never a single issue.


title: Awful!

text: awful, awful, awful!


title: Awesome magazine!

Okay, if you're a hardware power-junkie, this is your mag. Max PC rips on those who disappoint (should have seen the slamming report on K-mart's "Blue-light special" PC awhile back) and give out the coveted Kick-a** award to only those deserving few. It covers specialized PC modifications (Specialty paint jobs, lights, windows, panels, conversions, etc), hardware issues, love/hate issues with new PCs and products on the market and so much more!
This magazine is also a lot more easy-going on a language level than a lot of other PC magazines. They don't say things "We believe this to be an inferior product". They say "This thing sucks!". It makes it a little easier to read than the standard, overly serious PC-mag.
Also, once a year, the folks at Max PC put together the ultimate PC of the year. This is a PC builder's midnight fantasy full of the latest (most expensive) hardware. Then they give you a run-down on it's scores.
I've recommended this mag to everyone I know who is even slightly interested in computers.
They've also saved me much headaches (and a lot of cash) from their "Watchdog" column, which monitors a vendor's customer service, and/or financial problems with refunds/ returns or patches.
I'd say get signed up, this mag is worth the cash!


title: Thank you for the great service

title: Price savings through Reader’s  Digest purchased through Amazon

text: Have been a Reader’s Digest subscriber for many years...find content very informative!


title: Pics are good enough to EAT! Best for beginner cuisinists!

text:
The generous displays of glorious photography of food (and meals) is incredible. Pictures simply leap off the page and beg you to taste, to try the recipe.

And recipes galore! Recipes so simple, even the most basic beginnner (anyone who learned to cook around their mom or dads' apron) will appreciate the very clear manner that recipes are presented.


title: Western Horseman Magazine

text: This is my first go to magazine even though I read other equine publications.  It always has great articles and tips about working with my horse to improve skills.  It's the best on the market in my opinion.

title: The price and the cartoons

text: I bought this because of the price and the cartoons, but I am reading so many articles that I feel it was a great purchase.  Note to New Yorker magazine - The type face is very light and for a 68 year old who reads in odd places like the bathroom (you do it too) and car wash, it would be so much nicer to have the print a little darker.  Amazon could always hire someone to invent something that we could put over the page to darken the print.  I know what you are thinking, "That woman needs glasses", but I have them and use them, just a bit darker would be wonderful.


title: I wanted less wallpaper and more casual living

text: I probably won't renew this but the pictures are impressive.  I had hoped for less wallpaper and more classy casual living kinds of homes.  I enjoy other decorating magazines more.


title: The companion to HGTV TV shows

text: Great magazine for decorating and working with home decor.


title: I loved it in the doctor's office

text: I was sitting in the waiting room of my HMO doctor, irritated because I forgot to bring something to read, while I waited.  I saw a copy of this magazine and I picked it up and there were beautiful pictures and articles on decorating and living with a beach theme.  I just received my first issue and I'm still happy I subscribed to this through Amazon.


title: Make sure you are prepared to miss issues!

text: LOVE Ree, love the magazine but i got gipped on my subsctiption. I thought I would get at least 4 issues. So far I have only gotton 1!<br />I know the Fall issue is out because I have seen it on the stands for a couple weeks. What gives?


title: Enjoying

text: I forgot how much I enjoy this magazine.  Lots of short articles with so much positive focus!


title: Entertainment Weekly lives up to its name

text: I have read this magazine occasionally over the years and finally decided to subscribe. I enjoy entertainment. I like the articles, which aren't overly long on any one subject. It's a fun read with a look at through the week to come. And it's a break from my more focused reading and work.


title: This is a really good magazine

text: This magazine is so well designed that even the advertising is helpful.  I keep finding deals on stuff I did not even know existed.  I also like the issues and articles.  I keep wondering how many covers they can design with Oprah on it :).  It's amazing that each one is unique.

attachment_type: IMAGE


title: Very good decorating ideas

text: I like the decorating ideas in the magazines.  I also found a TV I like from the target ad.  Apparently the price has gone down since the magazine was printed :).  I don't know if I will ever own a multi-million dollar Central Park penthouse like the inside front page displays, but I like the kitchen design.


title: Good reading

text: Old time favorite.


title: Gift card may not work.  Magazine is quickly becoming all ads

text: The $5 Amazon gift card code they sent me said it was already redeemed.  It's been several weeks and they still have resolved it.  The price can't be beat but this is because more than 50% of the magazine is now ads and many articles are plainly advertorials.


title: A Necessity for the 21st Century Art Collector

text:
I have been collecting art for the past six or seven years and before this magazine was published I spent countless hours on the internet researching artists and galleries. I own over 150 oils, most of them painted by artists whose work appears in this magazine. Many collectors now depend on the internet to locate works of art they wish to purchase. I feel that the galleries and artists mentioned in this magazine are reputable and well-established.

A cardinal rule in the purchase of art ( for the most part! ) is to buy only what you love, not for investment purposes. If one buys with some knowledge of the artist it is possible with the help of this magazine to buy what you love AND artists whose work is going up in value. I am happy to report that many artists whose work I bought six or seven years ago are no longer affordable to me. Yes, that's a good thing. American Art Collector, unlike so many magazines which showcase art the average buyer cannot afford, informs the beginning and experienced collector by giving them invaluable information.


title: Best print magazine out there!

text: I know they make a digital version of this magazine, but I gotta say, I love thumbing through the actual magazine. This magazine "gets" my color sense, and is not boring and beige!


title: Still one of the best

text: Still one of the best trade rags


title: Your curiosity and willingness to be adventurous.

text: Nice education on whiskeys,Bourbons, scotch give a good opinion and score of all types of whiskey.


title: Love it!!

text: I really like the useful articles for small business savvy! For every craft medium, it has volumes of common sense and strategic business mentoring.


title: Publisher Mails Out Leftover Stock in Order to Complete the Contract

text:
Signed up for a year, using an in-magazine promo card. They mailed out magazines from the previous months in order to complete the 12-month deal :/ Not cool. Calling is a hassle, and the their email support is non-existent (email server is full, so all emails are automatically rejected). I haven't paid, and I'm not going to pay with such shady tactics -- so it's a stand-off. I think I can live without. Thanks for the free magazines, LA Mag.

It's a decent magazine, but don't expect any customer support should you need it.

Oh, Milk Street, why can't I quit you?? I'm cheap and it drives me crazy to pay $30 for six freakin issues when so many other culinary magazines are cheaper (Bon Appetit is 12 issues for $10!!!!!!), but that's probably why Milk Street isn't filled with ads, but instead article after article of great recipes. This is not a magazine filled with huge colorful photos, but more text driven with creative recipes from around the world and why they are done the way they are, focusing on effective shortcuts with time and accessible ingredients in mind. If you're (or the person you're gifting to is) the kind that actually reads cooking magazines from cover to cover and doesn't skim for pretty images, this is definitely the one for you.

I could do without some of the dramatic travel stories where the author thinks they're Hemingway, but the amount of good, interesting, unique recipes is what has me coming back. Maybe cut down on the travel and cut the price, MS?? Either way, I'll be renewing for myself and my mom, who is also hooked.


title: i have yet to receive the first issue

text: I ordered this magazine subscriptions at the same time, that I did for vanity fair. Vanity Fair already sent the first issue since like 2weeks ago, I'm still waiting ro this one. I don't think I will subscribe to this magazine again. I do not see it as realiable as to delivery<br />Maria

It is a pleasure just to look at the beautiful lacy, silver and pearl decorations of days gone by in a more modern setting.  There are also ideas for room decorations with a decidely romantic "Southern" flair.  I plan to order all of the back issues that are available. You really don't have to be Southern to enjoy this magazine just very much in love with doing things with beauty and a little humor.

title: Useful for the wealthy & those who don't have a full time job, less so for regular folks

text: I've subscribed to backpacker off and on since I was a kid. When I was a kid, the hikes and trips were mostly accessible and the gear was mixed with affordable alternatives and diverse lifestyles. Today, the magazine is mostly adventure porn for young people or folks who don't have full time jobs, kids or are independently wealthy.  This isn't bad in and of itself, it just lost its utility (for me) when it became more about expensive gear, environmentalism, and really exotic trips.  I wish there was an alternative backpacking and camping magazine for regular folks don't have the time or resources to travel the world spending thousands of dollars and weeks at a time backpacking in exotic locations.


title: Great for the science enthusiast

text: I ordered this as a gift for my husband who is a science enthusiest.  He finds it very informative and an enjoyable read.

title: Really Great for the Clueless

text:
If you find yourself pretty well organized and want to up the game, I recommend going to the blackbelt herself, and studying under Martha Stewart.

If you are like me, and you look at everything and are completely clueless... then buy this magazine.

I am completely and utterly clueless when it comes to making things simple in the house.  I just wasn't born with that thing in my head that makes sense out of chaos.  I easily get overwhelmed by multiple chores, and when I do get started, I find myself obsessing over minute details.  (Oh, clean the bathroom?  Got it!  Wait, this one tile looks off... I'm going to get the grout.  Oh, we're out. Home Depot time!)

Some things may seem wasteful.  One reviewer mentioned the lining mixing bowls / pans idea as wasteful.  Ever since I started cooking with aluminum foil on my pans, cleaning up the bathroom/kitchen every day lightly with Clorox wipes, etc.  my stress levels have gone down.  I also think their one pan/pot ideas are extremely un-wasteful.

Some items in the book are expensive, but I also find myself drooling over them.  I would fork over cash for something to help me figure out my blackhole of a closet, and where to put my shoes, other than decoratively draped over other furniture.

I feel silly confessing all of this, but Real Simple has helped me get my life in order and to stop obsessing over how chaotic I am.


title: A Wonderful Addition to Spiritual Worship

text: I have been receiving Magnificat for nearly 2 years and find it so easy to use. There is a plethora of "extras" to read with each issue. It always arrives at least 2 weeks before the starting of the month. This is a must to access daily religious happenings.


title: Just Labs

text: When I got my Labrador puppy 10 years ago, I subscribed to Just Labs. It help me take care of my puppy by telling me the dos and don'ts of rasing a puppy. Saydee is still healthy and I take her for walks every morning.


title: Heavily biased magazine

text: I live in Phoenix and this is a good magazine to have I just a huge problem with all the surveys they supposedly run and the top list of this and that. There is the top restaurants, the top new restaurants, the top docs etc etc etc. I actually do not think their surveys are unbiased. Strangely, the more a company advertises the more likely they will be chosen to be featured in the magazine. I do not have a problem with that because for a magazine it is all about advertisement dollars. I just wish the publisher would be upfront about it. With that said, I am still going to read it every month :)


title: Who doesn't like Entertainment Weekly

text: Unlike the gossip rags this magazine really keeps you up to date on the the happenings in the entertainment world.
