title: Lost its edge

text: I started reading this magazine about 5 years ago.  In that time, it has most definitely lost its edge.  While it is admitedly the best mainstream music magazine out there, it no longer has the biting attitude that it once had.  You can survey the downward progression as simply as reading last page of every issue, where they traditionally feature what they consider an 'edgy' comic.  It has now degenerated into a boring comic strip about the 'secret lives of celebrities'.<br />At least it's not Rolling Stone, I guess.


title: Great deal!

text: Good Magazine, after I have read it, I donate it to a youth group! Very informative info for all.


title: This is an outstanding source of entertainment for scale modelers

text: The only real downside to this is the heavy emphasis on tanks and planes. I wish they'd put up more articles on other things. Ships or rockets, for example. That's why it doesn't get my 5 stars.


title: Received the first magazine very quick

text: My daughter loves these magazines!


title: Soft-core and lots of advertisements.

text: I expected to see more about tattoos and tattoo artists. This magazine is basically soft core porn for heterosexual men.  One photo of the beautiful lady and her tattoos is good. Six photos of her in different  revealing outfits  are more about her than the tattoos.  Also, for the price per-issue, there are many many many advertisements. Is there a tattoo magazine out there that is about tattoos?


title: Soft porn

text: I wasn't familiar with the magazine, but rather looking for tattoo information. If you're looking for soft porn, this is for you.


title: Perfect for children starting elementary school

text: Grandaughter loves listening to her parents reading to her.


title: Arrived on time

text: As described and ease of not shopping


title: Great info for cat owners

text: This is a very informative newsletter covering a broad range of topics having to do with cat health and welfare.  The articles are well written and easy to understand, often spiced with a touch of humor.  I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about cats.


title: If your the man of the house, get this subscription.

text: Its the family handy man!  If your a man and own a house you need this subscription.  Otherwise save your money for contractors, electricians and plumbers to do the simple stuff for you.  Great money saving ideas and storage saving ideas.


title: Five Stars

text: My son-in-law enjoyed this very much.


title: My wife loves this magazine.

text: My wife asked for this magazine for Christmas and she has been really happy with it so far. I was surprised just how much content each of the issues has in it. This includes general information, recipes, and other food-related stories.


title: Magazine cook book

text: Basically a recipe magazine cookbook with pics.


title: Magazine Worth The Time

text: Enjoying this publication.  I've only read the first 3 issues since purchasing, but I'm anxious to receive the next issue...that's a good sign.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine if you like to cook love it


title: Unbelievable...

text: This magazine is an unbelievable, exhaustive compilation of reviews covering the universe of recently published books.  Overall, the writing in the magazine is as dazzling as its layout, managing to be both concise and intellectually enlightening at the same time.  Reviews from around the world are compiled and distilled to their very essence, allowing the reader to emerge with a reasonable understanding of the next book with which to curl up.  As if that were not enough, each issue features at least two, well-crafted original retrospectives focusing on a particular chosen author's body of work and the historical context from which each book was created.<br />This is truly a magazine written by and for people who are crazy about books.  It is beautiful both in its appearance and in its writing.  There is no greater compliment to the magazine than in my giving a gift subscription to my favorite (long-time-ago) high school English teacher.  I hope he will enjoy it as much as I have!


title: Great gift

text: I got this for my sister as a gift, she actually really loves getting them every month, I plan on renewing


title: Great magazine

text: Great!!! Am enjoying this magazine!!!!


title: My favorite magazine

text: I have been a huge fan of COOKING LIGHT magazine for the past few years. I started reading it when I would visit my folks over the holidays. I borrowed a copy of one of my mom's CL issues and loved the results I got when I tried the Korean Bolgoi (grilled strips of beef in a sweet, salty marinade). I was immediately hooked on the magazine. I eventually started receiving a subscription to COOKING LIGHT. I have been a subscriber to both BON APPETIT and GOURMET magazines, let me just say that I think COOKING LIGHT is vastly superior to those magazines (although I do like reading them) because the recipes are not so high end (i.e expensive) and involves expensive, hard to find ingredients. I also enjoy the health tips and articles the magazine provides. I have tried a lot of recipes from COOKING LIGHT and they are all delicious as well as healthy. This magazine is not just about eating healthy but staying healthy too.


title: This magazine rots

text: I used to love Outburn magazine. I first discovered it when I came across the mag at a local mainstream bookstore chain. The first thing I saw on the cover was VNV Nation. I bought that issue and soon after that I ordered a subscription. What I loved about Outburn at the time was that the magazine covered artists and bands that aren't covered in the mainstream music magazines, namely those in the goth, EBM, synthpop, and industrial scene. Unfortunately within the next year and a half, the magazine started covering less of those types of bands and more death metal bands and hardcore punk bands, two genres I don't give a rat's behind about. I don't know WTF happened at the magazine but they stopped covering anything goth and industrial related and started covering more music I would much rather have my ears ripped off by pliers than listen to (death metal and emo). Just like Alternative Press, Outburn started out as a cool mag but now they have become a joke and more about following than setting trends.


title: Great Magazine

text: This is a great magazine for any young entrepreneur, I definitely recommend it. You could find many good ideas on it.


title: Great Magazine

text: I'm thinking of opening my own business and this magazine is helping me out with fresh ideas. Great Product,  I would recommend it  to all my friends and some of them have already started reading it by borrowing my old ones.


title: Good publication!

text: I love getting readers digest delivered to my home.


title: Great for pre-readers

text: I subscribed to Ladybug for one of my very young granddaughters, and she loves it. The graphics are beautiful and the content is appropriately innocent.


title: A Valuable Resource

text: Its taken a long time to finally find a Natural magazine where the articles are not fluff, but present some great tips and substance. The latest issue shown highlights great recipes that used to have lots of fat, and uses natural substitutes that I can't wait to try. The ads are all related to the articles which gives a nice source directory. I have allergies so it is nice to be learning about different herbs that can help, Aromatherapy, acupuncture, plants, how to make your own scrubs(facial), teas, yoga exercises , etc. The photos are wonderful. The paper is heavy duty, so this is not a flimsy magazine. I will definitely be renewing my subscription.

title: There are Better Progressive Options Out There

text: If you want to read the same viewpoint and opinions over and over and over again. Subscribe to this publication. You're better off listening to NPR or receiving the Thom Hartmann eblast/podcast. Nothing groundbreaking here. Cheaply made too. Writing stinks.


title: This old house

text: like the magazine...


title: Great price

text: Love the black Friday price.


title: Issues not received while being asked to renew — subscription purchased in January

text:
We decided to subscribe to this title in late January of this year. When our first issue arrived several months later, we didn’t sweat it because we knew there would be a wait. We have since received one additional magazine.

This subscription is bimonthly. Even if we bought in just after one had been sent to other subscribers, this would put our first issue late March/early April. We should have 3 issues by now.

All that aside, we’ve been receiving notes that our subscription is at it’s end and saying we have to renew. With only 2 issues received on a subscription that was purchased in January, I think they actually aren’t planning on sending us any more.

Hopefully I’ll have a positive update in the near future, but if you don’t see one, then they did stop sending magazines 4 issues short.


title: Too expensive

text: Like the magazine but think it is way too expensive. Will not renew unless the price is cheaper.


title: A little disappointed

text: There's a nice, big picture of Benedict Cumberbatch on the front, but virtually nothing about him inside. And half the article is about JJ Abram's taking on Star Wars.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine.


title: Down to earth suggestions  & helpful information for the home gardener.

text: As an avid gardener but far from a professional, this magazine is perfect.  Down to earth; easy to read; great suggestions & information.

text: Very easy to read.  Ready made bookmarks.  Good to have everyday prayers included.

text: Love it. Much better than Golf Digest.


title: Excellent

text: Not too many adds, and useful from the first issue.  Recommended!


title: Contains Primarily Ads

text: This magazine consists almost entirely of ads, including ads for guns.

user_id: AHJHXJKEBDAJSSBQGQEHDHSYERMA


title: Knowledge

text: This has been a great investment.  The information that is produced, the history told, and the excitement of new things is told each month in a captivating way!  A must have for any age group and you will not regret it.


title: Writing Worth Reading

text:
Not just another "Outdoor Magazine."  My primary reason for subscribing to GSJ for several years now is the quality and style of the writing.  This is one of the few journals that I read cover to cover, every article.  Articles on freshwater and saltwater fishing, waterfowl, upland game and big game are well balanced and high quality.  If you are looking for a magazine with a focus on the biggest fish caught or the largest antler on the wall, like mamy of the grocery store magazines, this is probably not for you.  If you are a person that enjoys hunting and fishing as much for the experience and the opportunity to recharge your mind and spirit, you will find this journal a pleasure.  Seven issues per year.  Each about 130 pages.  Heavyweight cover and inside, thicker paper than many other magazines with ink that doesn't smear over the page or on your hand.

There are advertisements for guns and equipment as well as outfitters and guides, however, the number is not overwhelming.

If you enjoy a publication that you can spend an evening reading, you will be happy with this.


title: So disappointed

text: I very rarely subscribe to magazines but was quickly hooked by the bait when I read that More was for the mature babe who still desires to dress fashionably.  After my first issue arrived, I gave the great looking magazine a cursory read through and found very little that met this description (nothing I haven't seen in other mags).  Additionally, if the target audience is for mature babes then why did the editors choose to bold the ultimate curse word in an article.  I requested and received a cancellation, with no word of explanation.


title: Old standard. Awesome deal.

text: Still a good read.


title: LISTS MOST OF THE CHANNELS - STREAMING CHANNEL LISTINGS ARE SKETCHY

text: You get a daily/hourly list of the channels normally offered via cable - but the streaming channels are not covered as well.  There are notifications of shows or movies that are coming - but you need to be able to set a reminder somehow - since you can't mark the day/time for them, as you can with the 'normal' channels.  Otherwise, pretty informative.


title: Five Stars

text: Received quickly. Informing articles.

title: Tons of great information - a must-have for noob backpackers.

text:
I really enjoy reading this magazine.  There is a lot of good information, including gear recommendations, interesting locations, and preparation tips. Every issue has something of value, and find myself re-reading articles from previous months to refresh my memory about hiking and backpacking tips.  Gorgeous photography throughout - makes me look forward to getting out there and seeing some of the landscapes first hand.

As for advertisements throughout the magazine, I didn't think they were excessive - in the latest issue (August 2017), out of 98 total pages, there were 39 pages of ads - three dual page ads, 24 single page ads, and nine partial page ads (ad was only the top or bottom half of a single page).  And of those ads, only three had nothing to do with hiking or camping (one ad was for Coors Light, another for Harbor Freight tools, and an ad for dog food).  The rest of the ads were very appropriate to the magazine and did not seem to distract from the contents.  In perspective, other magazines have ads on every single page, so in considering this issue of Backpacker had 17 pages with no ads whatsoever, it's clear that the publishers still emphasize content over commercials.  I suppose we could always see fewer ads but a higher subscription cost...

The only downcheck was that some of the print is small and hard for my old eyes to read!  That, and the print subscription doesn't automatically include an accompanying Kindle subscription - it would be nice to bring some of this along on my tablet (vice lugging a year's worth of magazines in my backpack) since I suspect I may someday be in a predicament that was covered in an article that I've long since forgotten about!


title: good for moms

text: I bought a subscription for my mom, and she loves it.  What more can I say?


title: Before you  Buy

text:
First off I suscribe to the Magazine. I personally Enjoy reading it. I agree there are alot of advertisments, but this is a commerical publication and has about the same ad as other magazines.
 Now, This Magazine is not for  Beginers, Or Novices, For people who focus soley on Natural bodybuilding, Nor Is it for Athletes who competively plays sports. This Magazine focuses On a specific  demographic- Powerlifter, Bodybuilders and enthusists Of the sport/art. It also focues and reaching goals through legal supplements and drinks. The excerises and routines In the magazine, or geared towards people with intermediate to advance knowledge of lifting.
 I  DO NOT recommend this magazine for anyone starting out or wants a natural path to bodybuilding. I DO recommend this for those individuals who are competitvely  bdoy building and those who have a good base of knnowledge on Lifting

text: Good magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: great mag


title: Monthly treat

text: I don't get many magazine subscriptions - this one and Popular Science, just to remind my wife how much of a nerd I am.  Comparatively, I like Popular Mechanics more but that's mostly because some of the Popular Science articles get a bit too in depth.  Great when you're really into the topic, but too much if you're not.  Popular Mechanics seems to always get the right depth for me and the topics are almost always interesting.  I enjoy reading about cars and tools and some of the Do It Yourself projects.  For the price, Amazon subscriptions is by far the best deal out there.  They usually have a subscription sale right around the holidays and I end up getting magazine subscriptions as gifts for my close family.  The gift that keeps on giving all year!


title: Four Stars

text: Good read !


title: Why do I now get two copies of PM?

text: Gee, I believe that I placed my first order with Amazon, so when I did the renewal I expected they would not run concurrently.


title: Autorenewal harrassment

text:
Be careful with this company. They have cards for subscribing and claim you commit to auto renewal. They start sending renewal notices early. Then they send notices from their Invoicing Bureau with green stickers printed on them to look like certified mail through the post office. No way to mark "NO" on the invoice. No phone number. I found a phone number on contacthelp.com which gives numbers that are hard to find for companies like Hearst.

The agent on the phone was very insistent she had our autonewal document in front of her. Happy to cancel but did not seem to understand how underhanded their pushy tactics are. Her supervisor later admitted they did not have a copy of agreement to autorenew because I asked her to send me a printout.

Bad company.

Note the magazine is good if you like the type of food content. But dealing with the pressure and difficulty to cancel from HEARST is unnecessary.

Note the warning below the subscription for AMAZON above includes and automatic renewal notice to which you are committing. AMAZON says you can cancel through them. I've found AMAZON to always be honest to their customers. Maybe their cancelling will avoid HEARST magazine's heavy handed techniques.


title: Must have

text: I LOVE getting my updates in the industry every week in the mail. Obviously, we have the internet for the day to day things, but EW seems to always get those EXCLUSIVES that those websites end up covering or sending the link to anyways. Long time fan and will be a loyal subscriber.


title: Great information.

text: I'm always researching healthy options.


title: Try it. You might like it.

text: Some topics I feel don't warrant their own article in this magazine but I guess that's  what the "popular" stands for. I renew my sub though. Its entertaining and usually has a section about new electronics and such that you might not have known about otherwise.

text:
The main reason I subscribed to Marie Claire was the price.  Five bucks for a whole year during a special? Not bad, not bad at all.  That and the fact I love Project Runway and having it mentioned five times an episode really hooks it in your mind.  It took about a month for the first issue to arrive and I immediately dove in.  A lot of the stuff is pricey and to be honest, I am not going to buy a $500 must own jacket.  I can't even afford the bargain version at $100.  Marie Claire might not be as crammed full of pricey things as In Style, for instance, but it's not a great magazine for a bargainista like myself.

Seeing as how I have eleven more issues coming, maybe I'll see something more my style (and price range), but so far, I'm honestly disappointed.


title: Favorite magazine hands down

text: I received my copy to Entertainment Weekly as a gift, but since then I have kept subscribing and enjoying each copy that comes in my mailbox.  From excellent articles to funny reviews, there is always something in EW that I enjoy that gives me an hour or so of entertainment each week.  On top of that, I can use old copies for decoupage, which is also a great benefit.  I mean, who can resist a cover of Robert Downey Jr turned into a coaster or a table top in the guest room?  I sure can't!  So yes, if you love entertainment - from books to music to television to movies - this is a great addition to your collection, and at $15 bucks for weekly issues (mostly), you're not going to lose.  This hands down is my favorite magazine and one I plan on subscribing to for years to come.

text: My husband is a history buff, especially WWII.  He has taken this magazine for years.  I wish it was less expensive.  He only takes a few magazines so his continued purchase tells me it must be good.  He reads a lot of history books.  I wouldn't think there could be that much information to add to something that happened long ago but apparently, there is still a lot to say on the subject.

title: After four years - I'm not renewing.

text:
Motorcyclist has never been the highest quality US motorcycling mag around, but it's always been a somewhat interesting. These days, though, I barely skim the issues. Tons of ads make that easy enough. Half of the magazine beyond that is dedicated to industry news and "sneak peeks." These days, that service is better provided online. What a magazine can offer is solid editorial content, comprehensive reviews, and possibly even a sense of community. The editorial content has improved somewhat with the addition of Keith Code's articles. Motorcyclist's reviews of motorcycles have been shoddy in the last few years, the gear reviews sound like an advertisement. And the sense of community, which would be accomplished through a solid online presence, falls short as well.

I'll pay more for Cycle World - they have great editorials, experts on staff, and a good website. I'll pay even more for Motorcycle Consumer News - their reviews pull no punches and they provide fantastic info-sheets for each bike reviewed. I'll even pay for Hellforleathermagazine.com's subscription - they get the latest information before anyone else and have an invaluable user base. All of these are more expensive and I'm happy to pay for them.

I'm on my last issue of Motorcyclist and my renewal offer is a year for only $5. That's just too much for what I get out of the magazine.That's the only reason it gets two stars over one. It's affordable.


Lots of ads but a few good articles.  I'm a little disappointed, probably will not renew at the end of the year


title: Five Stars

text: Great kids horse magazine.


title: Disappointment

text: Sorry National Geographic, but your Kids magazine does not do your brand justice. It reeks of A.D.D., and is not the educational treasure trove we were expecting. Some good quality photos, but their quality is diminished by being jumbled with a bunch of other disjointed information and strange cartoon pictures. Summary of the entire magazine: stuffed with 1) advertising for strange, un-educational weirdness, 2) information so short and abridged that it is useless and barely interesting for adult and child, 3) maybe one or two articles that are a couple pages long that has information of any substance (every so often). We got it on sale for a $10.00 subscription elsewhere, and even that wasn't worth it. I know one star is harsh, but my disappointment ranked it down. You can get much higher quality stuff online for free.

I ordered this magazine for my mom's caregiver who loved reading through the copies that a friend subscribed as a gift for me.  I love sharing things I love just like Oprah, so it was a not a difficult choice as what to buy her for Christmas.

At age 70, I think I know a lot just because of living so long in the kitchen, but I am continually pleased and surprised to find useful tips and ideas that my pea sized brain hasn't managed to discover.  I love reading this magazine in early evening or on a rainy day.  We in the PNW happen to be having many rainy days.


title: nice

text:
Nice little magazine, easy to carry in my purse.  I just received it so I haven't read any stories yet, but it didn't come in a wrapper so the mag is beat up.  Looks like it's been thru the wringer.  Not happy with that.

This is an addendum:  I've received three issues so far and I am very disappointed.  The stories are not interesting, rather dumb, and boring.  Really bad.  I remember this mag when I was a kid and liked it.  The mag has either changed a lot or maybe I've changed a lot.  But it's not good or interesting reading, in my opinion.
So I've changed my rating to a one star.


title: Very interesting articles and photos

text: I love learning about the history of past cultures, their art, architecture, living conditions, beliefs and religions.


title: Nice choice for the money

text: Good price for a yearly subscription


title: Love it!

text: Been reading this magazine for over 40 yrs from back when it was a little paperback I picked up at the aquarium shops. Good magazine for anyone who loves fish keeping. Very high quality photography and good articles. Well worth the cost.


title: SNEAKY and DECEPTIVE

text: This has been the worst experience ever. They keep sending materials we never asked for and keep billing. ALL FREE GIFTS ARE NOT FREE. THEY WILL BILL YOU!! DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ. The magazines are ok, but everything else is a headache.

text: Always a good read, and good recipes, not too many adds, like many of the other food type mags.


title: Not for Western Hunters

text: For a western hunter this is complete garbage.  Every article is about whitetail and crossbows.  Plus it's full of ads with very little content.  Save your money if you live out west.


title: Pretentious and useless

text:
A friend of mine got me a subscription to this magazine because I like Cooks Illustrated.  This magazine is nothing but ads for snazzy expensive foods and restaurants.  There are so few recipies in it I wouldn't call it a 'cooking' magazine.  What few recipies they do have don't explain why they chose the ingredients used or give much detail at all.

If you consider yourself a 'foodie' who likes to go to fancy restaurants and likes to know what's hip on the latest gourmet food and wine, then this magazine might be for you.  If, however, you like to cook and know what you are doing and why you are doing it, try Cooks Illustrated instead.


title: Value!

text: Got this for my husband and we get the monthly issue as expected


title: Decent Horror Magazine

text: This isn't the best horror magazine especially in terms of interesting quality reading (Rue Morgue is) but it usually has decent features on new horror movies. Again the pictures could be better quality but they aren't horrible. I buy this magazine every now and then when it features a movie I'm into.


My wife just loves the magazine and love her cooking from it.  The recipes are memorable and magazine is a steal for the tips inside it.


title: Five Stars

text: Very cool articles to read.

text: Was a gift they are enjoying it


title: HGTV Magazine

text: First purchased this subscription for my kindle, but i didn't feel you could really get the full effect of the room designs and graphics on so small a screen.  I cancelled that and bought the print magazine, which is wonderful.<br />Lots of useful information and great graphics.


title: Yessss!

text: I liked that it came early. It is a great magazine.


title: Over the top...but that's what you want

text: It's a little over the top but that's generally what you're looking for out of a mag like this. It's just fun to flip through.


title: Good mag

text: I've been a GQ subscriber for a long time. Highly recommend this mag


title: Great magazine

text:
Overall great mag. This is a nice complement to Wine Spectator. WE skews a little younger and I think their magazine is more approachable.

And I've had no issues with delivery or subscription renewal from Amazon.


title: Good to browse

text:
Definitely can't argue for the price (this yearly subscription is available for $5 almost all the time).

Content is ok. More design focused than architectural. But i still enjoy flipping through this magazine and looking for design ideas in my house.


title: Meh

text: I am not a huge fan of this magazine. I accidentally forgot to cancel my four month subscription and it automatically renewed for an entire year. I’ll probably donate it to the library.


title: Almost satisfied

text: I have always loved this magazine. However, my subscription was to begin in January - which it did. The problem is that I received December's, so it was all Christmas, which I normally love, but I am looking forward to spring already. The other issue is that the magazine was so thin. I don't recall it ever being this way.


I ordered the subscription only because of the Kim kardashian cover. I have been throwing it in the garbage ever since. What a rip off. I personally would like a refund. I know it's late, as I ordered the thing since last year, however I will give amazon a call. Thanks for reminding me.

text: love sports illustrated


title: Husband Loves it

text: Purchased this for my husband as a gift and he loves reading it,  The price is right and you can have it automatically renewed.


title: love it

text: I love the TV guide, my only problem is I renewed it last year until March of 2013, and I was sent a new renewal saying it was due to be renewed again, so I questioned it and had to renew again until 2014, I've already received this week's. And it's stating that my delivery date is January 8, 2013??????


title: 2 1/2 months still haven’t gotten 1 issue.

text: I really can’t comment on content, because after 2 1/2 months wait I still haven’t received a single issue.

title: 5 stars from a subsrciber of over 20 years

text: Over the many years that I have subscribed to Golf Digest, I've come across extremely useful information from world class teachers and the top players that has improved my game. In addition to appreciating the superb teaching article, I always look forward to the new product editions. Equally informative and entertaining are the various feature article and interviews. Golf Digest is simply the best golf magazine!


title: Longtime Reader and Subscriber

text: I've been reading Men's Journal since the first issue. I've always enjoyed its mix of content. MJ interviews a wide range of interesting individuals. Over the years I've incorporated some of the workout tips from MJ's fitness pages into my workout routine. I especially enjoy reading the product reviews. The travel recommendations are always well written, if not sometimes beyond the budget of most readers (myself included!). Overall, Men's Journal offers a great mix of well written content.


title: Commercialized?  That's good...socialistic, that's bad!

text:
Jeez people, drop the criticism of this magazine being commercialized.  Why don't you pay the magazines employees and bills, or better yet, start your own "state-owned" magazine.

The pictures are fantastic, the articles very informative, and the general "editorial balance" of the magazine is very consistent with "Yogic philosophy."  For me, however, that is a complaint.  I could do without the constant carping about eating meat and genetically modified food and the inference that all commercial cosmetics are unhealthy.  I wanted to gag when YJ complimented Dennis Kuicinich for his notion of creating a department of peace.  Can you say State Department?  Nevertheless, the magazine is incredibly informative for novices and experts alike, reasonably priced, and a must have for those serious about their yoga practice.  In a recent Washington Post article about yoga, it was reported that YJs circulation has increased dramatically.  I can understand why that is the case.

title: Newsweek irresponsible, unbacked Koran-flushing story

text:
I'd never waste money on a subscription to this rag, but I selectively read articles from it in the doctor's office all the time.

It will be interesting to see how Newsweek deals with the outrage from the Dan Rather-like "Koran flushing" tidbit. It seems like some apology is in order for not fully vetting the story. If some heads roll, I'll jack up my rating - they are biased, but their articles aren't the worst. Like I said, confine reading to the doctor's office.


title: Fool Babe

text: This magazine surrendered its last vestiges of credibility when choosing to peddle snake oil and promote the charlatan Food Babe.  Shameful.


title: If you love hockey - get the puck in here!

text: Love this magazine - as a relatively recent hockey fan, I feel that this magazine helps me understand the nuances that are inherent in the system. Great reporting, and great assessment on the prospects.

title: Gift for the business owner

text: I purchased this for my dad who owns a liquor store.. There aren't many magazines that cater to the liquor business. This is a terrific magazine with new items every month. I definitely recommend this for a bar owner, liquor business, or if you just love beer!!


title: The best toddler magazine

text: I work with babies and toddlers and have young twin grandsons.  I give all the toddlers I love a subscription to BabyBug.  The kids love it and look forward to Kim and Carrots' next adventures.  The art is gorgeous with beautiful diverse families depicted.  I wish I'd had it when my kids were little.


title: High in advertising, too lean in substantive content.......

text: Visited the islands, I'm very familiar with the local culture.  I thought it would be nice to keep up with events, etc.  But, I found the magazine had way too many advertisements--which seems to be the focus of the publisher.  I've discontinued my subscription.<br />It's disappointing that they cannot focus more on the local people and culture.  I found reading content on various websites online was much more informative.  I gave it two stars for publishing quality (photo, layout, etc) -- but only two because the content (writing) was way too lean.

title: You’ll love this magazine!!

text: Love this magazine so much I ordered it for my Granddaughter also!! She loves it too!! Lots of great ideas easy to do projects.


title: Good but could be better

text: The shipping days are always different so it is quite confusing. I wish it was more consistent on a weekly basis.


title: Interesting Read

text: I know things are pretty much all available online, but there is nothing like holding a magazine in your hands to read an interesting article.


title: A great buy.

text: I can read one is one sitting, but generally keep them in the car to use while waiting for appointments, etc. Bring back lots of memories of when I was a kid. We always looked forward to getting them in the mail.


title: Magazine is always torn up

text: The magazine never arrives in a plastic package. It is always ruffled and torn by the time it reaches us.


title: Good stuff!

text: It no wonder it has been around for so many years!


title: Great!

text: Is and has always been a great magazine.

title: Great for those that have left the area

text: We now live in the NW and enjoy keeping up with NC.  Pictures are wonderful and the history is grand


title: Not the original size. That I purchased from the local safeway

text: This magazine is smaller in size and pages . unlike the one I bought from supermarket.


title: The best recipes.

text: I love Taste of Home. The recepies and stories are great.


title: THE NEW YORKER your

text: Not as good as it was in the 90’s. I have to say some of the columns seem to just be there to take up space in a dying magazine. Once THE NEW YORKER was a sarcastic and critical thinking magazine with cutting edge humor. Now the staff seems content just getting paid.


title: Total Dissatisfaction

text: All ads total waste used to love this magazine it should be free only got nine out of twelve issues really dissapointed


title: After purchasing a 1-year / 12 issue subscription, first ...

text: After purchasing a 1-year / 12 issue subscription, first issue was more than a month late from promised start date, then notified that my 1-year subscription will now only include a TOTAL of FOUR ISSUES!!!! Bait & switch?

text: Mostly ads in a very thin journal. Very disappointed.


title: Grateful for this extension of "Fixer Upper"

text: Who doesn't love Chip and Joanna Gaines from "Fixer Upper?" So sad to see the show come to an end, but thrilled to remain connected to such a sweet couple and dynamic family. Chip snd Joanna have forever changed the way I view potential projects. My garage is full of bargain furniture waiting to be refinished and a house full of interior projects to begin.


title: Terrific magazine on ancient creatures and modern culture

text: Always one of my favorite magazines. The mix of reporting on paleontology, art,and the cultural aspects of prehistory, from TV shows to toys, is endlessly fascinating. As a science writer and a lover of dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals, ancient fishes, and paleontology in general, I devour every issue. This issue focused on one of the great illustrators and his work, including the Devonian seas and my favorite critter, the terrifying armored fish Dunkleosteus terrelli.[[ASIN:0888393350 Rumors of Existence: Newly Discovered, Supposedly Extinct, and Unconfirmed Inhabitants of the Animal Kingdom]]


title: Birds&Blooms

text: This is my favorite magazine, I love the combination information on birding and gardening.  Thank You!


My grand daughter is 2, she has read her first issues multiple times and loved it each time. I would recommend it.


title: It Takes Time to Read Texas Monthly!

text: I've been reading Texas Monthly off and on since it was born. I'm not thrilled with the current iteration, but change is inevitable, and, so far, the magazine seems to be surviving--perhaps even flourishing judging by the amount of advertising it contains. It takes a long time to read Texas Monthly! In the past I have opted from time to time not to renew because I thought it too expensive for the amount of time I could spend reading it. I accumulated a year's worth of magazines that I never read and recently gave them away. Every word's a pearl and I couldn't skip any article, so I skipped the whole magazine, stacking it for reading in a future that never came. I'm trying to change.


title: One Star

title: Fantastic Value

text:
It seems like forever that I have had a subscription to TV Guide.  As my renewal date was approaching I was undecided if I would renew it.  The price for renewing the subscription was more than I wanted to pay, so I decided not to.

Just after the subscription ended I received a notice from Amazon about getting TV Guide with their Newsstand.  There were two options, the first was the Kindle edition which renews automatically (until cancelled) every month for $1.99 after the initial free 28 day trial period (approximately $21.89 for the first year.  The second was a combination Kindle and printed copy for $20 (1 year), which is the one I selected.

Access to the Kindle version occurred within a couple of hours once my request was accepted.  The details for the printed copy indicated 4 to 6 weeks but I received it the next week.

One quick note:  I tried using the Kindle app on my PC to access this subscription but it appears that app does not allow access to the Newsstand.  I chatted with an Amazon customer support rep and the issue has been forwarded to the next level.


title: Five Stars

text: Lots of great ideas and inspiration


title: Awsome pics; Great golf information….

text: Beautiful striking pictures of world-wide courses, the pros and equipment


Why have I not rec'd this product?  When will I rec this item.  This is a great magazine but what happened?????


title: Love this news weekly

text: Gives highlights from conservatives and liberals news responses on current events.


title: Really intriguing recipes

text: Always find a recipe or two that appeals to me. Most recipes are lightened recipes where they get a recipe from a restaurant and brighten the recipe by removing the fat component.


title: Great magazine for my autistic son loves looking at magazines

text: Very colorful magazine


title: Food network magazine

text: I got it as a present from my son and every month I am looking forward to receiving it.  It is the only magazine I do not throw away.  I don't know what I am going to do about space because my subscription will be renewed every year. I liked so much I gave it as a present to my sister.


title: Five Stars

text: thanks


title: great magazine

text: This magazine covers flora and fauna of Colorado as well as hunting and fishing, very well put together and informative for information about Colorado Outdoors.


title: poor quality control

text: This magazine has a beautiful cover and some interesting and informative stories.  However, a number of the recipes are not that great.  Good ideas, I suppose, but it is like the editor sent off the recipe developer with a "hey you, combine some meat, squash, maple syrup, think Moroccan" and then no one ever really makes sure the result is any good.  The magazine is pretty, but if you like to actually cook the recipes and serve them for dinner, you'll find the results spotty.


title: Full of ads. Useless.

text: Full of ads. Useless.


title: Garbage quality journalism. Full of franchise ads to buy franchise systems and pay a high fee for useless franchise brands.

text: Full of garbage advertisement to do franchise. There quality keeps going down like CNN. Now it is straight garbage.


title: Really Bad service. Bunch of crooks!

text: I applied for a Womens Health offer of 2 free trial magazines and 12 free gifts in June 2008. After numerous emails, I finally received my 2 free trial magazines (Sept and Oct 2008). I paid my yearly subscription. Since then I have received NO magazines. Never got the 12 "free" gifts either. Whenever I email their customer support they reply 2 days later promising to send my magazines and my free gifts. Today is Dec 26th and still havent seen anything. BEWARE! This company takes your money and does not fulfill your subscritpion!!


title: The Best of the Bunch

text: I am a DIY'er and have not yet found a better home improvement magazine than "The Family Handyman." An easy read with easy instructions for weekend projects, along with many tips and tricks.<br />When and if I find a better magazine I'll be sure to let you know.


title: Great magazine; certainly a keeper

text:
During the last year we had subscriptions for both National Geographic and to the Smithsonian. Month in month out - the Smithsonian had the better articles with more diverse stories and more to learn, overall. NG may have better pictures, but overall, was not the favorite among the two.

Will certainly continue the subscription to the Smithsonian, and thinking to not renew the NG subscription. Will recommend everyone reading now the NG to try this magazine too.


title: Five Stars

text: As described...fast delivery!


title: Order Incomplete

text: I did not receive the 10 magazines I paid for,  I only received 5 of them. Not happy with this subscription.


title: How many ways can you use a piece of plastic pipe?

text: This is the worst magazine I have ever flipped/read through.  Either you get a schematic for making a pen holder out of a spare piece of PVC pipe, or they show you how to build an out building complete with wiring, plumbing and solar panels.  There is the occasional repair advice, but occasional is the key word.  They wont stop sending this to me and I am more annoyed that I have to pay to throw it away every month than I was that I had to read about how to use Velcro for fastening a pencil to your toolbox so you can find it tomorrow.  This zine could be used as a torture device.  Of course, I'm a guy, and that could be why it's useless.


title: Pricey

text: It is a good magazine, but it is just too pricey. I would be comfortable paying $15 for it, no more. I know they do not have many ads, and that is why the price is low, but still. Having an annual sale or some sort when people could subscribe for less would be an option. Otherwise, I am not renewing.


title: Three Stars

text: it had too many ads.


title: I'm in it.

text: Very funny - a ton of content - a fascinating holdover from the age of newsprint.

title: Solo disappointed: love Conde Mast

text: Solo disappointed: love Conde Mast, all their ideas and tips, but the "weekend travel bag"???? No wonder they didn't 'brand' it! So incredibly cheap and small _<br />- barely room enough for flip flops, sun screen and a bottle of water


title: review of Southern Lady

text: I have great service from Amazon and have been very pleased with the magazine Southern Lady. It is a true Southern thing. Hits all the special habits ,ideas and gracious attitudes, manners, recipies, of the old and new South that I have grown up in and loved. I have traveled all over the world and lived in Europe but there is no place like the South in the U.S. and this magazine covers it all. Thanks


title: Nothing I would eat

text: Not a great magazine. A lot of gross recipes. Also tried to charge me $20 for auto renewal without notifying me. Good thing I noticed because I cancelled it.


title: Consumer Reports...my reasons for letting my subscription expire

text: Consumer Reports proports to be the consumer advocate. To subscribe they include you in their continuous service, not an option. Then they absolutely hide the  web site link to cancel continuous service. Once canceled, they continue to send past due notices.<br />The magazine used to be the go to place for product reviews. Now it is a left leaning entity long on causes and extremely short on useful product information. After many years of being a subscriber I couldn't wait for my subscription to expire. And not happy about that!


title: The most beautiful and encouraging publication

text: I have kept every issue.  It's a treasure.  I went online to order a subscription for my now married daughter and mom of 3.  I hope it blesses her as much as it did me.


title: Ok magazine

text: I was hoping for more, just not as interesting as I thought in the checkout line.


title: Interesting read.

text: I like the magazine,  but it's seems pretty small. I guess magazines are downsizing.


title: Great magazine

text: Great  magazine


title: Always practical

text: Our daughter loves this magazine and finds helpful info and recipes each month!  She doesn't have alot of 'down time', but enjoys this magazine!


title: Four Stars

text: I enjoyed it just to much to keep it any longer


title: Digital format only?

text: This is a fabulous magazine for young girls.  As far as I understand, the publisher has changed this to a digital only format.  I am not sure why Amazon has continued to sell print issues.


title: Colorful, fun recipes even if not all are big hits

text:
I've already tried several recipes out of the 133 listed in the new slick Food Network Magazine.  My family loved Bobby Flay's veggie meatloaf with balsamic glaze, they liked Paula Deen's white bean chili and Cat Cora's crispy baked "fried" chicken.  They also really like Michael Chiarello's quick bolognese even though I didn't make the pasta from scratch. (Just don't have the time for that, people.)

The magazine presents a great opportunity to try out new recipes with some fresh, not-so-common ingredients.  Not all recipes have been hits with my family, but they've now been exposed to pine nuts, collard greens, and kosher salt. Just wait until I pop the Moussaka on them! Need to find kefalotiri--salty Greek cheese--first though.


title: Good magazine

text: My favorite magazine right now.  I read it from front to back and with it being on my Kindle, best of both worlds.  VF has really good articles, even though you can tell they lean to the D side of politics


title: Great for someone without much knowledge.

text: I'm satisfied with this magazine because it has some news and articles in an easy reading style format that is understandable for someone who doesn't know much about businesses. I'm sure it'll be useful for small business owners just to look through and keep themselves updated on what's going on. But if you're hard core, you'll need something else to read.


title: E book

text: Pretty good, you can read it on line, which is nice, this is my favorite e-book magazine so far I have ordered


title: Great Magazine

text: If you are interested in wine this is one of the better magazines on the subject. It is full of great articles and great places to enjoy wine while on vacation. I recommend everyone read or review "The Wine Bible" by Karen MacNeil  ISBN 1563054345. A little wine knowledge allows new comers to glean even more information from the articles contained in this fine magazine.


title: Gift for dad

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for the last four years for my dad. He really likes it so I keep subscribing to it.


title: Like it....have yet to find most of it practical

text: I have been receiving this magazine for quite some time now.  They do have some great ideas and I have tried many of the simpler recipes, but a lot of the recipes are more complicated than they let on when reading it and some of the ingredients are hard to find if you are not an experienced cooker.  Same is true of following most of the recipes if you are not an avid cooker.  But it leaves the desire to achieve more and reach for new things so I give it four stars


title: Four Stars

text: Very beautiful, classy, always with amazing covers and photography in general. And $5 for a year! Works for me!


title: Great magazine / great price

text: One of my favorite magazines - grew up reading it and always loved it.  All articles are quick reads and genuinely interesting.  The prices I found on amazon (on special) were a lot cheaper than going directly to Reader's Digest itself, so was very pleased to get a magazine I love at such a great price.


title: Father love this..

text: Great early christmas gift.. The only thing that bugs me is all the different magazines that are kept being sent to me. Stop!!!


title: Fun magazine to read, always gives me a lot of ideas/suggestions of things to do on my own house

text: I've been a subscriber for several years now, and I always enjoy picking up the newest issue to see what ideas, tips, or tricks I'm going to find.  Would definitely recommend, especially to those that have old houses of their own.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine! It has great information and great recipes!


title: All in the Details

text: I have this sitting on my coffee table, Everybody looks at it.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent BMW magazine with in depth articles.


title: Not Kindle Accessible - Do not purchase digital

text: After paying for 6 month Kindle subscription I never was able to access digital magazines so I can't review content.  I only can report that it's inaccessible via Kindle.


I like motorcycles, this is a magazine about them, that makes me happy.  Also, there are some legitimately good writers and articles in here.  I don't always care for the bikes they cover but they have to cover all I guess.


title: Nice magazine

text: Enjoy the recipes and tips it’s a cake is fun to try and make


title: Perfect

text: This magazine provides me with all the knowledge I need to help my own garden thrive, and supplies fresh ideas in every issue.


title: great gift

text: this magazine is the best,  I have learned a lot from it.  Now I have gotten this subscription for my father and father in law both love it.  When I get done with the read I leave it a work for others to enjoy.  Always people looking at it


title: good learning mag for you

text: Yes I am aware of that grammar....I have had wired for many years now and it is one of the best magazines out there for good stories and up to date tech news.  Got this on here at a great amazon special price.  Cheaper than the mail specials they send you.  Awesome


title: Excellent for Soap Lovers

text: I'm one of those people who love spoilers, the more the merrier.  If anything, I think it could use more spoilers, and less articles about them and their houses, or things like that, lol.


title: Four Stars

text: Lots of great ideas. I live in an apt, but really enjoyed the magazine.

title: Great gift

text: I ordered this for a 15 year old who is developing into a stunning young lady. Make up, fashion, style, attitude this magazine addresses many areas that face today's developing young women. They can feel positive about who they are.


title: Yesterday's Avant Garde,Today's Electronic Inquirer

text:
I am a low income disabled person and require copious amounts of bathroom reading material, 'Wired' is even too tedious to fill that need. Its sponsors tend to run the lengthy ads reminiscent of old picture filled National Geographics of questionable scientific value. On the other hand the articles, for example in the latest issue, 'Are Higher Gas Prices Good for Us'(paraphrase of title) offer little information and if I had time to do the research this one is particularly like a sheaf of 1970 Nixon press releases in conjunction with the announced Operation Independance. The intention at the time was to free the U.S. from dependance on foriegn oil.

  Oh we of short memory, condemned to sacrifice our sons and now daughters!

  Of interest may be the dumb means by which I obtained an unending subscription to this and some other almost as pointless magazines, Playstation Magazine - now X Box Magazine, the completely amoral Men's Health, Garden Club, Cooking. I simply check the highest income level on every form I fill out on the internet and everything else short of a tax form or loan application.

  Typical of something recieved for nothing  Wired  is not a publication for which I would recommend laying  out any money or time. Including bathroom time.

title: When did Consumer Reports remove the consumer from the equation?

text:
Does CR even read consumer reviews of products they recommend?
Does CR ever apologize for recommending lemons to the consumer?
Does CR keep track of bad recommendations and correct it's testing methods so they don't happen again?!

  I used Consumer Reports to pick out a good Washing Machine (Whirlpool Cabrio) only to be plagued by insufficient water levels, horribly disfigured clothing, bad controller board, and now a failing bearing assembly! I must have gotten a bad one I thought until I read the reviews here on Amazon. 100's of "consumers" WITH THE SAME ISSUES.
  I checked to see what they recommended this year and there top 3 recommendations are all LG.  I entered the "CR Best Buys" model numbers into Amazon to find out what the actual consumer is saying about the product. Should I be shocked to fine 2-3* ratings for each one? I will not be fooled twice CR!

Thank you Amazon for replacing Consumer Reports with actual real world reviews of products from the consumers themselves.

2 Stars because CR is still a decent magazine to find out about new products.


Amazingly high quality magazine.  Almost every article in every issue is worth a read.  Also, while most magazines are shrinking, every issue of Cruising World is an impressive volume of information.  I would definitely recommend to anyone who sails currently, used to sail and misses it or has dreams of sailing in the future.

title: Always a good magazine

text: Always been a great magazine. 2 year old granddaughter loves the pictures!


title: Good magazine but content a little too adult for me

text:
The magazine is well done. The artwork is great and it is an interesting mix of short stories and poems and illustrations and comics.

My only complaint is some of the content. My son is 11 and reads well above his age. He read the entire Harry Potter series years ago. He is certainly at 14 year old reading level, which is the low end of the age recommended for the magazine. I assumed that meant the reading level and not explicit content. Even if he was 14, I would not want to give him a kid's magazine that had a comic strip where someone says "Oh Sh*t". (I am censoring here - it wasn't censored in the magazine). And a story where a girl pulls up her shirt and bra to show her "tits". That is actually how it was presented.

So, the magazine is good but you should be aware of what kind of content is in there.

title: Quality magazine

text: For years I have read The New Yorker for its outstanding features and quality fiction, not to mention the best cartoons anywhere. I wouldn't be without the magazine.


title: Hardware and more hardware

text: This magazine is just like the title "maximum" They give you in extreme detail the good and bad of any type of computer hardware you could think of. IF you are a computer junkie or a typical "overclocker" this might be for you. The one probem that i found is that they tend to forget not everyone has $10,000 to build the "ultimate pc" with the latest greatest hardware. The writers pull no punches about saying exatcly what they fell about certain companies and somtimes you get the felling that thee own some stock in certain companies!<br />  But in all the hardware reviews (which is the main focus of the magazine) are very interesting and they give you more than enough details and benchmarks to help you choose your hardware.


title: technology, technology, technology

text: I first got this magazine because i am really into computers, but after a few issues i was amazed with the deep articles about all different types of technology. All the articles are deeply thought and very well researched and they hit the topics form all different angles giving you the entire scoop on what it means to you the consumer and how it could or will affect your life.<br />  If you enjoy technology or are interested in all different forms of technology this is a "must read" magazine

title: Great archive of recipes, some OK recipes in mag when it decides to arrive

text: There's seemingly no rhyme or reason to the delivery of the physical publication.  I've asked Saveur customer service and, as others said, haven't gotten any answers.  I subscribed in December 2017, and got my first issue sometime in June 2018, I think.  I've gotten a couple more issues, but have no idea when to expect them.  I've always loved the recipe archive on the Saveur site - they can be somewhat complicated, but so tasty and original.  As of yesterday, they've set up some paywall that won't let me (a paid subscriber) access it.  I can't even get to the login screen.  Customer service said, quite helpfully (ha!), "contact your internet service provider."  The site itself has always been frustratingly slow and buggy, but now I can't even get on the site at all.  I don't know what's going on with Saveur.  I suspect we can sound a death knell soon.

title: so far so good

text: I was pleasantly surprised to find my first magazine in the mailbox because I had read about long delays in subscription startups - obviously not the case with mine. I enjoyed paging thru it. I saw a tv ad about the HGTV stars being in the next edition, but I didn't see them, so I hope they're in the next one. I don't know how much substance there will be to it - lots of ads, but so far, so good.


title: Five Stars

text: Good service at a good price.


title: Changed format

text: i have been taking Entertainment Weekly for years. They changed the format and I do not care for it. I also got automatic reorder yearly. This year I asked them not to renew, but they did anyway.  My subscription is not due until June. They billed me for a full year subscription, I e-mailed the magazine and bought forth the information that i have no longer wish to get said magazine. I got a refund for 11.00 but my yearly subscription was much more than that. The point I am trying to make is do not get automatic renewal.


I love this magazine (almost as much as the HGTV chanel)!!  I had tried to order on the HGTV chanel but had a hard time, but with Amazon it was 3 clicks and in my mail box a month later.  Very happy.


title: Good value on a very intersting magazine.

text: I find Texas Monthly very interesting. I have not got my first copy yet, have been reading copy floating around my apartment house.


title: meh

text:
It's OK, somewhat along the lines of the old PC MAGAZINE. Pretty knowledgeable articles, mostly for gamers and hobbyists.
 The problem isn't with the magazine though. THe problem is if you sign up for auto-renew, Amazon will make it very difficult to stop it.  The most obvious solution, click the "stop auto-renew" button does absolutely nothing except take you to the top of the page. WOW. Thank God I was able to return to the top of the page.  But Wait, that's not your only option: you can also click the "cancel subscription" button.  It, too, takes you to the top of the page. Ah-ha, we have a pattern here.  At the top of the page is a sentence stating that you must call a certain phone number to cancel or change subscriptions. So those two buttons are... the modern day racing stripes for a web site with no function at all, mererly appearance? But this slick, digital interface Will help you utilize their 130 year old technology to stop your subscription. I knew the 19th and 20th centuries would be exciting, and that webpage is certainly the cat's pajamas.
  I guess I'll just stop all auto-renewals rather than get all pissed off and going on a rant each time.
Again, the magazine is good for a lot of people.  If you've been in the business for less than ten years, you'll probably enjoy it.

title: AWESOME!

text: I love this magazine!  It's got a little bit of everything in it.  She even cooks for her dog.  What's not to like?


title: One of the better cooking magazines

text:
Cuisine at home is very similar to America's Test Kitchen's magazines: Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country. As in it has no advertisements and high quality recipes. You can almost say CaH is kind of like a combination of both. The differences are that there are more recipes in Cuisine at home. However, there does not seem to be any equipment reviews or taste tests, and the descriptions on the creation/origin of the recipes are not as long. The variety in the recipes is very good.

If you just want a magazine that gives you great recipes, you can't go wrong with this. I'm surprised it took me so long to hear about this one, but apparently they've been out for years.


title: Rockin'

text: The magazine continues to deliver the goods without excessive hype, and can significantly improve our understanding of how things work, in a culturally sensitive context. I like it.


title: Man this magazine is horrible

text: A far cry from what they used to be. Steer clear, mostly ads and the format and layout is horrible. Writing is sub par also, editing is even worse. Get Hot Rod or Racer or stick with the internet or something else entirely. This mag is wasted paper.

text: Love the magazine,  I always have enjoyed it.  I received the January issue after I subscribed, and then today, February 3rd I received the December issue....I already have it and I'm sure it counts towards the number of issues I get. I probably shouldve gotten it straight from food network instead of here. Cheers to getting Christmas cookie recipes in February!


title: Too much...

text: I enjoyed the magazine for a few months but then it was too many over the top bikes done by shops. I did get the learn what not to do that would make my bike look silly though. They all started to look the same just different colors. I stopped my subscription and now buy issues that I know have something I'm interested in.


title: Good magazine

text: I find the content interesting and up to date


title: great info

text: good reading material


title: After 45 years, I quit!

text: I've been a Rolling Stone Subscriber for 45 years, but with its new form and crappy content, there is no reason to continue to buy it.  It's almost all pure pop oriented and rock and roll is just a minor part of its content.  Most articles are short, just long enough for today's snowflakes to read in one sitting.  Most of today's music is geared toward rap or soft pop, the type only 13 year old girls listened to.  With writers such as Rob Sheffield, the queen of pop, you can have it!


title: Anything for money!

text: Sick of seeing this "Gender Revolution" promo picture. Frustrated with Amazon showing it over and over and over on the "deals" page. What people will do, and exploit, for a buck.


title: Popular Photography subscription.

text: Got it at a good price for 9.00 a year, but renewal was 18.00 so I didn't renew it. We love the magazine, and will probably order it again sometime.


One of my favorite magazines, just reordered for next year. Not a fan of magazines but I do love this one.

title: Nice rate for one of my favorite periodicals.

text: It comes every month and it's a buck an issue. This satisfies my requirements for a magazine subscription.<br />The hat came in handy on a bad hair day.


title: Liberal mouthpiece for atheist/socialist/PC doctrine

text: I subscribed for two years, for something to read in the bathroom. There is nothing scientific about the magazine. It's basically a mouthpiece for the politically correct underworld, that is written by journalists who have no science training! The most interesting part of the publication is the puzzle: how  many subtle ways are liberal views purveyed in the magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Still the best out there despite more and more adds every year.


title: National Geographic

text: It's National Geographic! You can't go wrong.<br />The magazine is great for both kids and adults. On my home I find my kids and guest s going the the pages all the time.  When my nephews visit I have to watch sneak it home.  Just goes to show how much they enjoy the magazine.

I pass mine on to my son who appreciates reading the mag!


title: elevates the art of cooking....

text:
I have loved this magazine for many years and have a nice collection of issues from both my on/off subscription years and one-off bookstore purchases. Even though you can supposedly find out anything and everything on the internet, including on the CI website, I still refer back to these magazines for tips, hints and recipes.

The recipes in the magazine are especially expanded upon in ways that I don't always find in the CI books or annuals. I also like the ratings of gadgets and explanations of "what is it?" as far as older or obscure kitchen items. The illustrations are clear and very helpful in teaching proper techniques like trussing poultry for example. Beginning cooks will appreciate the foolproof qualities and encyclopedic explanations of the recipes, and seasoned cooks will likely tweak tried and true recipes for even better results.

I always know I can trust the recipes to come out right when working from my CI collection. Very pleased to recommend.

title: elegant, spohisticated, but slow delivery!

text:
Just a note for those interested in subscribing - I really enjoy this magazine but I have to say the publisher is very slow in getting this subscription going. In November I ordered several magazine subscriptions and so far my first issue of Veranda has still not arrived where several other subscription were received within 5-6 weeks. An inquiry this week was met with a reply that next month I should receive my first issue.

As far as the magazine goes, from my past issues I find it the homes they feature have a great balance between modern, eclectic and chic design - definitely leans toward lux! Looking forward to having next month's issue in the mailbox.

02/16/21 Update : The March 2012 edition has just arrived, which makes for a 12 week lag time in receiving the first issue. - DG


title: a little of what's inside the february 2012 issue

text:
This is a wonderful magazine if you are a fan of - as the magazine title says - Country Living. There is bit of a modern edge to it all too, which I think makes it even more accessible.

They refer to the Feb 2012 issue as "the White Issue" with decorating ideas that involve white/neutrals - lots of examples of antiques and replicas throughout the magazine.

just a a quick sample of what's inside -

* Collecting this month focuses on match safes with photos of gorgeous antique versions.
* the center layout featuring a beautiful home done in pared back white and warm wood.
* more on whites in formal and eclectic settings.
* an article on the Coombs maple farm in Vermont with recipes for Sour Cream Pancakes with Maple-Pecan Butter and Tomato-Cheddar Strata.

I like that this is one magazine I subscribe to that I see prices quoted for little splurges that are affordable like simple/functional yet gorgeous custom stamped leather luggage tags for $13.95. This is already the second place in the issue in just the first few pages that highlights women artisans and made in the USA hand crafted goods. This magazine tries to keep things accessible to its readers, quoting sources we can use not just designer industry insiders.

Yes, there are a ton of ads (like pretty much any other magazine) but if the ads help keep my subscription cost to a measly $5 per year then the ads are fine with me!

Pleased with this purchase and definitely recommended.


title: elegant, sophisticated but slow delivery!

text:
Just a word of caution for those interested in subscribing - I really enjoy this magazine but I have chime in with some recent reviews that the publisher is very slow in getting this subscription going.  A little over two months ago I ordered several magazine subscriptions and so far my first issue of Elle Decor has still not arrived where several other subscription were received within 5-6 weeks.

as far as the magazine goes, from my past ED issues I find it the homes they feature have a great balance between modern, eclectic and chic design - definitely leans toward lux!

02/06/12 Update: My first issue, March 2012 has just arrived (12 weeks wait total).

A couple of highlights from this issue:

* Antique patterns and timeless fables inspire Idarica Gazzoni's fabrics and wallpaper
* Trend Alert - Paisley gets its groove back
* Great Ideas - Dazzling chandeliers add drama to a room

and my personal favorite article in Design Solutions called "A Good Buy", featuring some terrific smaller space ideas for living and dining spaces.

The magazine appears to have undergone some slight style changes this month; nice to see "renovations" here too to keep things fresh!


title: haute and delicious

text:
I used to read this magazine many years ago and re-subscribed late last fall in large part due to a five dollar a year subscription price. After receiving my first issue I was very pleased that I ordered this title; having live 30 minutes from Manhattan most of my life and now residing in the high desert plains, this is defintely my Zsa-Zsa/Green Acres fix for the month!

I like how they always apply the fashion trends for women of any age - 20's to 70's.

This issue had generous articles about Patti Hansen and Madonna - whether you care for them or not I think they are real legends as opposed to the various Kardashians that always seem to be on every other cover these days. They do give a nod to up-and-comers by including features like the one with model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

I don't mind the many ads since they keep the publishing costs low.

A little talk of everything current - art, movies, books and of course the fashion....

While it is mostly high end couture that is beyond my budget, it is beautifully photographed and the trends are a treat to admire - I think of this as sort of long distance window shopping.


title: you can tell a good magazine by how many corners you turn down....

text:
I had been a fan of ELLE magazine in the past but I recently started this subscription in large part because of the five dollars for a year deal; if the first issue is any indication of what to expect I'm happy I took the opportunity to order....

The fashion layouts are organized in such a way that even though the price tags mostly elude my budget, you can still appreciate and even make some sense of the trends they are taking about.

The articles are more than 10 seconds long; I had noted that other magazines have a very ADD approach to articles, like you'll burst into flames if it takes more than a minute flat to read. Nice variety here in articles of different lengths, with timely *and* interesting subjects like Tina Fey.

Beautifully photographed artsy/fashion section.

When I get a new magazine in the mail, I usually flip through and fold down pages I'd like to go back to. I consider it a good sign that this issue has many, many turn-downed corners waiting for my attention.

{regarding the subscription - ordered 11/17/11, received the first issue in December (Jan 2012 issue).}


title: even for five dollars a year this is *still* just "OK"

text:
My first subscription issue came with the following on the cover/in the contents:

238 hot new looks, touting "fab finds under $100"; what I found more often inside was clothing with the caption "price available on request"
A lengthy article about Angela Jolie; sorry, but...yawn....
Big Girl in a Skinny World; a article telling big girls how lucky they are to be able to at least by *some* cute shoes/boots.

For five dollars a year I am not going to complain *too* hard but not likely to renew this either.


title: take a walk thru town and country....

text: If you are considering this magazine by the title alone, you probably know what you like and that lies somewhere between town and country. I happen to like reading articles on many different topics including decorating, gardening, and fashion - this magazine usually has something to offer in many different areas of my interests. Yes, there are TONS of ads for things way beyond my means but the ads keep the subscription costs low and are even sometimes places to find inspiration for creative projects. If you happen to catch the November special pricing of five dollars for a whole year you can't go wrong, even if you just thumb through to look at the pictures. Nothing to lose since publishers will refund the balance of unwanted subscriptions if you are not happy.


title: Great Mag

text: Great magazine look forward to every issue and usually read cover to cover the day it arrives


title: The Standard in Railroad Modeling Magazines

text: I have subscribed to Model Railroader for over thirty years. It is pure delight to open each issue and immerse one's self into the hobby. The layouts presented are incredible, representing the best of what craftsman in the hobby have to offer. Yes, it is geared more to the new hobbyist, but it does not mean the longstanding modeler will not find a new tip or trick in every issue.


title: Just Recipes and More Recipes!

text:
I really like this magazine, I ended up subscribing to it in print. I've made several recipes from the two trail issues I received and everything turned out delish!

I really like that this magazine doesn't have anything in it but recipes. Plus an all picture index of every recipe in the whole magazine, right up front. No articles to eat clean or healthy or buy some fancy gizmos or stuff.

Just a few of these gathered recommendations that are really ads that help support the magazine. You know the sort?  Fancy plates or napkin rings or some sort of kitchen fu. Easily skipped.


title: very pleased.

text: Subscription started on time, very pleased.


title: Good mix of articles for general horse interests

text:
The first magazine of this subscription just arrived.  Different magazines seem to recycle their articles and it was time to try something different.  This issue has feature articles on nutrition, riding trails with a dog, teaching young children to ride, riding horses on safari in Kenya, exercises to achieve eveness in your horse and a Shetland pony.  There are only 72 pages in this one.  What the word?  Volume?  Edition?  Episode?  The word I want escapes me right now.

It must be time for me to go work on the exercises in the “Spring Fitness” article.


title: Good Read
