title: Babybug: My son's favorite books

text:
We received a gift subscription to Babybug when my son turned one year old.  We have been extremely impressed with this magazine, particularly as time has passed and we find that each Babybug issue is read and reread more than any other books.  My son is now two and a half and he loves them as much as ever.  We regularly read past issues at the library as well, and I snap them up when I can find them at consignment stores.

The magazines are short and the stories/poems are brief, but the content is thoughtful and rich.  Each item gives us so much to talk about that it feels like reading a stack of board books.  When we travel, I always bring a few Babybugs, because they take up so little space but have as much entertainment value as a thick stack of board books.  There's education here for parents, too.  We are first-time parents and have gotten great ideas for play with our son from Babybug, especially Kim and Carrots.  Many of the fingerplays and rhymes have become part of our daily routines.  I'm surprised by how many of the little Babybug poems we've committed to memory, because my son wants to hear them so much -- he loves hearing the rhyme about the garden when we're outside, for example, and one of the going-to-bed poems became part of our goodnight routine.  The illustrations accompanying traditional songs and nursery rhymes bring those old favorites to life for our son, and remind my husband and I of little things we learned in childhood but might not have thought to share.  My son has learned so much from Babybug that I think each magazine must be produced very thoughtfully, and I appreciate this very much.  I also appreciate that the kids and families in the illustrations are from a wide range of ethnicities.

The magazine is expensive enough that we probably wouldn't have given it a try if we hadn't received it as a gift (we are cheap!).  But I'm glad we were introduced to it, because I think Babybug is an incredible value.  Each issue costs about as much as a board book, but provides as much entertainment and learning value as at least two or three books.  These are not disposable like typical magazines.  Babybug issues are so sturdy that we've had no trouble with them holding together after as much as two years of heavy, heavy reading.  (One issue did need the cover taped back on, due to a particularly gripping edition of Kim and Carrots!  Other than that, no repairs needed, which is more than I can say for my son's favorite board books.)  In addition to being durable, the stories and poems are geared for a wide range of toddler ages, so my son finds new aspects of them to enjoy as he gets older.  It's more like a book-of-the-month club than a magazine subscription.  We'll definitely subscribe again for a year or two when our next child is the right age (though I'm sure she'll also be able to read my son's old issues), and we'll give Ladybug a try when my son is old enough.  I hope the other magazines from this publisher are as great as Babybug so my kids can keep getting this level of content as they get older.  This is a wonderful gift, too.

One final note, we've never had a bit of trouble with customer service or receiving issues.  Our first subscription started about six weeks after we received the gift note, and we've had absolutely no problems with delivery.  I've given gift subscriptions, too, with no trouble at all.

title: Relies on Geographic Prejudice for Self-Image

text:
This magazine is great if what you want is endless ads and promotional articles about Vermont companies and services.  Recently the magazine wrote an article about young people staying in the state, and one line in it was, "Nobody wants to live in Des Moines" (December, 2013.  I threw my copy out after I read that, although I live in New England.) This is a ridiculous and geographically prejudiced statement, since Des Moines has any number of times been rated an excellent place to live and raise a family by enterprises that rate quality of life in U.S. cities.  Anyone who believes Vermont is inherently superior to the Midwest should visit the many downtrodden, poverty-stricken Vermont rural towns and areas where young people have to join the armed services because they can't make it.  The sum and total of Vermont is by far not places like Stowe and Woodstock.

I wrote to Vermont Life about this prejudiced statement and received no reply back, so I assume they still maintain their position of ignorance about the American midwest and beautiful places like Iowa.  Yes, beautiful, if you like endless summer skies and picturesque farms and friendly people, gorgeous fields of grains and heartland cooking.  Iowa is also home to excellent services for poor families or disadvantaged families, or families traumatized such as by the great flood of a few years ago.  A college choir in Decorah gives the most beautiful Christmas concert in the country, broadcast by PBS.

Come to think of it, what I should do is find a good magazine about Iowa and read that, instead of paying for ads for upscale businesses in Vermont and insults to other areas of the United States.

From a business standpoint, I don't understand why any magazine would turn off potential readers by downing other places.  Sign of insecurity?


title: Order not Shipped & I could not cancel it. EVER they told me.

text: I ordered 2 Backpackers by accident. Only needed 1 as a BD present. Order says it wont ship for several weeks. I tried to cancel the entire order. I was told by Amazon Customer Service that the magazine was being shipped from a warehouse and not only could it not be cancelled today, but never in the future as well. WHAT? What kind of business model is this? Good Bye Amazon. I won't ever be ordering from you. You hi-jacked my business. I won't ever foregt that. --------Shocked and very dissatisfied. 9-2-2010

title: Loyal reader for over 20 years

text: I have been getting this magazine for over 20 years. I used to read my mom's and then started getting my own. I like the recipes, decorating tips, makeup tips and new products. I also like the articles. I always enjoy reading this magazine. I pass it on to a friend when I am done.


title: Great magazine for any cook of any level

text: Love this magazine! Great articles about the chefs and about food network. I look forward to the recipes each month and the opportunity to try new foods and new food combinations. I also like learning about restaurants throughout US.<br />Great magazine for any cook or chef of any level.

title: DON"T ORDER THIS: 8 months and still no magazine delivery

text: I ordered California Garden sold by Magazine Express,Inc in March 2009 as a gift, and they have not delivered any magazines to my sister as of November 2009.  I paid the $20 magazine subscription and the website says I may not receive a refund.  This is bad business and don't want anyone else to get this horrible service.[[ASIN:B00006K7FL California Garden]]


title: Get entire year same day.

text: Magazine good, but they sent me basically the previous 8 months at the same time. Some that I bought already so thought that was lame.

text: My son loves reading the National Geographic magazine and I encourage it because I want him to have knowledge of the world he tells me this is a good magazine and I believe him. He can tell me things that just blows my mine away at time he is learning so much from reading and I love it


title: It's Reader's Digest-

text: I grew up with Reader's Digest. I still enjoy it. I give a subscription to my Dad as a gift also, and when he is done reading his copies, he leaves them in Dr. offices for others. One of the few things from my years of growing up that I haven't had to say goodbye to. Thanks, Reader's Digest!


title: Five Stars

text: Great!


title: For son

text: My son has been reading these magazines for years and I have just been renewing them on amazon because they always have a good rate.


This is my favorite cooking and culinary magazine. I am also a fan of Cook's Illustrated but find I use the recipes and learn about new trends and ideas from every issue. This is the best.


title: Lots of great creative ideas

text: I recently subscribed to this magazine and liked it so much that I decided to give it to a good and artsy friend for a birthday gift. She likes it too.


title: Banjo Players Need This

text: Banjo Newsletter has been around longer than I've played banjo, and I've played 25 years or so. I play old-time banjo and depend on BNL for new tablatures. It has plenty of information for pickers who play other styles. It's also THE place to look for banjo supplies and suppliers.


title: If you like to cook an healthy...this is your Bible.

text: I like it a lot. I love to cook and am limited because of my health issues. I have been able to find terrific ideas that I can trade ingredients with and been able to expand a limited choice and become creative. Also, simple recipes and excellent information.


title: The recipes aren't cheap to make.

text: As an experimentor I try new things and this fits the bill.


title: Finally ordered for myself!

text: After reading this in all of my Doctor's offices, I finally bought this for myself to read at my leisure.  It has such great items in it that I was contantly taking photos with my Iphone. Glad I did!


title: No show O

text: I ordered O magazine quite a long time ago like some of the other reviewers and it's still a no-show (the only reason for the 1 star rating).  It's very frustrating because I really like the magazine.  I emailed Amazon but they weren't able to help.  Can anyone help us out?


title: Super magazine

text:
Has wonderful creative ideas from another country
Well worth the price
Stories are wonderful and you get to see what people are making outside the USA


title: Not impressed!

text: I don't like most of the artwork show cased in this magazine. There were only about two magazines the whole year that had good artwork in them in my opinion. I would not recomend this magazine!


title: I have missed this magazine.

text: I have been away for about 5 years and now i am able to get back to painting again.  This magazine was always an important tool in that persuit and I am hoping it still is, even though they have splintered off with watercolor artist.  I do watercolor and mixed media paintings and am not able, at this point, to receive both.


title: Nothing About Country Here

text: This magazine has certainly changed over the years. I recently subscribed again and I am very disappointed. The magazine should change its name to "Home Remodeling and What to Buy to Make Your Home Look Fake Country."  Gone are the beautiful photos of rural places and gone are any resemblance to the caring people of country life.


title: Three Stars

text: Too many advertisements... Not enough substance.


title: For my sister

text: I bought this for my sister who resides in a nursing home.  She was happy that it was larger than she remembered and was easier to read.


title: Wonderfully researched and presented articles

text: Of all the magazines I've enjoyed over the years, National Geographics History magazine is by far the best.  As a lifetime reader of National Geographic, the History version focuses on history vice the gamut from climate change to zebra's wandering the Serengeti, ie the traditional National Geographic magazine we all know and love.


title: Fantastic magazine for motorcycle enthusiat

text: The articles covered are not the typical manufacture generated articles.  The publisher has hit the sweet spot keeping my interest from month to month.  Will definitely stick with this magazine.  Also, there is a great feel to the quality of paper used.  Well worth the $$

title: Great magazine for kids.

text: My 6 year old grandson has enjoyed this magazine since he was 5.  I renewed the order but it took about 2 months for him to get the magazine. There was like a 2 month lapse between when it ended and started back up again.  Otherwise, great magazine for kids.

title: Great magazine for coins.

text: I bought this for my Dad for Christmas and he has really enjoyed it. A must for the coin enthusiast.


title: smooth transition

text:
I had subscribed to the print edition for over 30 years. I was going to drop it since the price TV Guide was asking was too much for a twice a month (OK, sometimes weekly) magazine. I saw Amazon's price and renewed thru them. The transition was smooth, and TV Guide even had continued sending issues despite me letting their subscription lapse.

The primary reason I subscribe is for news from the entertainment world. Yes, I know there is an app for their feed, but I don't check it regularly. My DVR/ cable box includes TV Guide listings, so I seldom check the print version.


title: I'm not really their target demographic

text:
More of a buyer's guide for the wealthy and the foolish than a journal for those interested in the advancement and application of automotive technology. I generally find one or two articles in each issue that I find pertinent or even useful.

Car porn.


title: The New Republic maintains its strenngth.

text:
The New Republic is a weekly magazine that has well-written, well-researched articles.
And the "regulars" are looked forward every week.
Stanley Kauffmann is still reviewing films as he has for more than 50 years. His insights
and perspective are always most interesting.
Leon Wieseltier's "Washington Diartist" is a gem...every time. His one-page articles
provoke thought and discussion, partly because he is such a wonderful writer.


title: I Really Enjoy Magazine!

text: I really enjoy reading this magazine every month. I do a lot of DIY projects and love the ideas and products they have in this magazine. Enjoy reading the articles and seeing so many good ideas to try!


title: Love this Magazine!

text: I do a lot of diy and I love this magazine...so many ideas~


title: Great deal! Four issues for less that the price ...

text: Great deal!  Four issues for less than the price of one.


Just upgraded from the Lil Kids version.. My son is going into 1st grade but reading at a higher level so I thought he would enjoy this a bit better then the lil Kids but some parts are a little overwhelming for him due to the size of the text (even smaller then my magazines) and amount of words on each page.  Packed with facts and information but pay attention to the recommended ages..


My son (5 yo) loves getting the mail and seeing his magazine arrive.  Great format, great stories and activities to try!  We will be renewing our subscription for another year!


title: Get the magazine sporatically

text: I'm not getting it monthly as promised. Love the magazine when I get it, however. It comes sporatically.


title: Uplifting to a mother in a world where stay at home mothers are looked down upon

text: I look forward to every issue I receive of Keepers of the Home. While I am not Mennonite or Amish, I find the articles to be very supportive and encouraging to mothers who strive to raise their children to love and know God and women who strive to love and respect their husbands. In our society mothers are encouraged to work and thought to be lazy if they work in the home. This magazine brightens my heart without fail after reading it.


title: Just a Great Magaine-a little bit of something for everyone!

text: I love this magazine!  I've received it for three years now.  And now I also view it through the online App you  can get as long as you are a subscriber.  Real Simple is just that-it's Simple suggestion's and idea's that will help you with everyday "real" life!  I strongly encourage anyone to get this magazine...it's the thickest magazine I get-not full of ads-but full of useful content from cooking to entertaining, to organization to best book to read...from quick hair do's and make up makeovers, to dressing on a budget.  You'll love this magazine-I do, and so do my friends.  It makes a great Christmas gift as well.


title: TV Guide is awesome!

text: Money is tight. I had to give up my newspaper subscriptions and gave up cable, but I kept this subscription. It keeps me posted on all my favorite shows - both in paper or on my Kindle tablet, - plus a dose of juicy tidbits about my favorite shows. It is now indispensable now that I get over-the-air and Roku television.

title: Great Mag for Writers, Prospective Writers, and Others

text: This is a great magazine, not only for writers, but also for those who are interested in writing.  I purchased this subscription for my 15 year old niece who has been an avid writer since she was six.  I thought this magazine would be a great resource for her and I was right.  She absolutely loves it!  I originally purchased the subscription through another vendor, but then I discovered that the Amazon subscription includes BOTH a hard copy and a kindle version for the same price!!!!  It's like getting two subscriptions for the price of one!  Now, not only does my niece get to enjoy this magazine, but I get to read the kindle version on my device.  It's a great magazine with a lot of interesting articles.  I'm no author but I do write a lot in my profession and I've always been interested in writing for fun.  I'm also one of those people who take pride in everything I write, from a grocery list to a product review....I don't like misspelling, poor grammar, improper verb tense, etc.  This magazine is a great tool for anyone, even those who, like myself, just want to improve their general day to day writing.


title: Great magazine

text: This is a very good magazine for non-scientists with a big science interest. My whole family reads the magazine. It sure beats magazines full of anorexic models with expensive clothing!


title: Readers Digest Stories can be read Fast.  Love it!!!  Over a half century in my bathroom!

text: Like so many others, I’ve been reading Readers Digest over 50 years.  Longer I think. Other people are complaining here on Amazon about the Digest.  But I say, where else can you get a years supply for $5.00? I hope it stays around a very long time...


title: Five Stars

text: husband love it


title: Cheaper here

text: I have read RD for 40 years and think they got sloppy in the last 10 years, but it is getting better again.  lots of short and informative articles on many different subjects, and reasonably good humor sections. I like going back and reading issues from years ago as they are usually good enough to re read.


title: Missing editions

text: I did not get all copies and some came late. Will discontinue


title: Good read

text: This magazine is a good read a lot of times. I usually find a good article or two...if not most of the time. I also like the leader board section, esp. the conversation part. However, this has a lot of ads.


title: Good magazine

text: This magazine is a good read. Most of the, I find something interesting to read about. I recommend to certain tech nerds.


title: It's good

text: I like this magazine and I find interesting articles at least 75% of the time. Even though this magazine started in the UK, I recommend it to those interested.


title: Boring

text: This is one of the most boring national newspapers I've ever read. Sometimes they have an interesting article or two, but it's still boring. I hope I see interesting stories almost eery week instead of every once in a while before the rest of my subscription runs out. I got a free subscription, But forgot which website I went through to get it for free.


title: Interesting magazine

text: I like this magazine. It has interesting articles in it most of the time. I enjoy it & recommend it.


title: COVERS ALL SCY/FY

text: It should come every month!  TOP NOTCH!


I used to devour this magazine when I was younger.  I ordered the subscription for my two oldest grandsons and they love it.


I used to devour these when I was growing up.  Ordered the subscription for my two oldest grandsons and they love the magazine!


title: Great value, fast shipping

text: Love this magazine! Received as promised.


title: As good as ever

text: We got this as a gift for a grandchild, and are pleased at how well she likes it. It's comforting to know that a younger generation can enjoy the ritual of receiving a magazine in the mail, turning pages, reading out loud to siblings, and keeping the stack of back issues close to her nightstand. the stories and the illustrations couldn't be better.... I hope Highlights lasts for many more generations.


title: A family tradition

text: I enjoyed Highlights as a child more than a half-century ago! I got my grandkids their won subscriptions when they were old enough to enjoy them. The High Five is great for early reads and young learners. I am very impressed with the quality of the writing and illustrations.


title: Too much advertising

text: As with most magazines, there is too much advertising.  The price of the magazine, frequency of print, and the amount of advertising is such poor value for me.  I don't like paging through page after page of junk.


My husband and I both love Trailer Life magazine. There is so much good information packed between those covers! Whether you're looking for information regarding new products or ideas, or tips on destinations and things to do in certain areas, it's in there. There is information regarding safety and security, connectivity and how to improve it. I also love the feature where they help readers resolve conflicts with manufacturers of trailers or trailer gear. It gets a full 5 Star from us!


title: good value

text: it is a much better deal than going through the publisher


title: Best Magazine out there.

text: This is my favorite publication of all that is out there. Thought provoking, brilliant writers (even if some are over my head) and great depth. So refreshing after all the shallow media out there. Try it, you will not be disappointed.


title: great stuff

text: My wife loves this magazine!


title: nice magazine

text: I love this magazine!


title: My grandkids love this magazine and look forward to it each month!

text: I wish they'd have an option to have it delivered more often than once/month.  Its a bit pricey but the grandkids love it so much I'd definitely buy it more frequently. Not to mention its also educational!


Great magazine if you  love the outdoors and photography


title: Good magazine in an age of dwindling magazines.

text: It's a great magazine in an age of dwindling magazines. Useful for keeping up with car news.


title: I used to love it...

text: I used to love Real Simple magazine. I'm 66, divorced, and it just doesn't apply to my life anymore.  I don't have grandkids and my son's are in their 30's.  I also don't have the $$$ for redecorating, or to even have a desire to try new ideas because of costs.  It's not for me anymore.

I love this magazine. I just received my Shirley Jackson issue.
It is gorgeous. The glossy pages are very nice.

I am going to look into a lot of them. I am really pleased with the magazine

title: Great Value!

text: Great fashion magazine. Interesting articles that deal with women's issues.


title: Great Value!

text: My favorite little mag. Full of fun and bits and pieces about the world of entertainment. Good reviews on everything from movies to books. Especially valuable now that we have given up the expensive world of cable TV and watch thru our ROKU. In each issue there's a heads up on what's new and possibly interesting on TV that you can watch through your device.

text: I love HGTV so I enjoy this magazine.


title: Not Personally Interesting

text: Some of the writers sub-par, such as Brian Pearce.


title: Wife likes it.

text: See wife reading it pretty often so it must be good. I am a straight man so I don't read it.


title: National Geographic Traveler

text: This magazine is wonderful at bringing in new places to consider for travel as well as new reasons to consider "tried and true" locations more than once. I really cannot think of anything I don't like about this magazine. I considered giving it "five stars" but there's a part of me that believes nothing's perfect. Still . . . NGT comes pretty darn close!


Odd how so many came at the same time for the first shipment, but my kid loves them. We burned through the first few because they are so fun. Great pictures, mad libs, and bite-sized info....


title: My Favorite Magazine

text: If you like entertainment information, this is the best magazine for it.  With a variety of features and reviews, it appeals to me on several levels.


title: Good for current events

text: Gives interesting and more than one opinion on political events.  Good for current events.  it does arrive a few days late, but is still full of coverage.


title: Living is great magazine.

text: Love Martha Stewart's Living magazine and could not pass up Amazon's great sale price!


title: Great magazine

text: Love this magazine and could not pass up Amazon's sale on it.

text: nieces lovse this


title: Five Stars

text: love the recipies


title: Great overall magazine for kids!

text:
My daughter received this as a gift from her grandparents. It a long time to receive the magazine.
Overall my daughter loves it! When it come in the mail she rushes inside to start working on the activities. She really enjoys looking for all the silly thing, or what's  different.
The stories are one of my favorites. I like that they feature children from many different backgrounds and cultures.
On of the big downfalls of the magazine is the price and how long it takes for you to receive it. It too almost two months to get here! In a time where we can get almost anything with in a couple of days, this was a ridiculous wait!!


title: Very Cheaply made bag

text: Free bag broke on the third day I used it, however I still love the magazine.


title: Fun and informative!

text: I ordered this subscription for my granddaughter's 3rd birthday.  She loved it!  Her seemingly insatiable mind is captivated by it .  There are some features that she will understand and enjoy more as she matures.


title: Excellent magazine

text: My granddaughter is an avid reader and loved receiving the magazine! She relays a lot of the information she's learned to me and loves getting this magazine in the mail.


title: Three Stars

text: too much advise and messy  won't continue anymore


title: Love this magazine

text: I have been getting the magazine for several years and I love it. It has a lot of advice, ideas, and just beautiful houses and how to decorate and how to use paint colors in your house.


title: Still a great music mag

text: Still has excellent writers so I am pleased. Rolling Stone keeps me in the know with what's happening on the music scene.


title: Great for reluctant boy readers who love sports.

text: Bought this for a reluctant reader in my class who loved sports. He looked forward to "his" magazine coming in the mail each month. I loved that he would read it cover to cover multiple times.


title: Five Stars

text: EW is my favorite, and buying through Amazon was quick and a great deal.


title: Very disappointing

text: I loved the magazine when I subscribed several years ago but the new look is very disappointing.  I suppose it's just a matter of taste but the three issues I have already received failed to catch my eye.  I won't renew.


title: A must for a DIY and viewer of TOH!

text: I enjoy watching TOH on the PBS networks and so I figure I'd try a subscription to the magazine. I received the first issue thus far and it is good. Lots of ads that I noticed so far, but good. I often capture the details from the program and it's great to have them within a print media format. Looking forward to the other issues coming soon!


title: One of the best newspaper/magazine publication out there

This is an excellent weekly magazine (although they call it a newspaper). I was hesitant  to pay such a high price for a subscription (compared to other magazines) but you get what you pay for as they say. As others said don't buy from Amazon except when on sale (I'd say $160 or less for a year is a good sale). Also make sure you buy the digital + print edition. If you're a student you can get a massive discount from The Economist's website, I currently pay $159 for 2 years access to online, mobile, and print editions which is less than $1.60 an issue!

Content: You do get a wider worldview and The Economist does a fine job of exposing you to news stories that you may not hear about anywhere else. Some of the articles are dense and it's not "light" reading but the articles in general are relatively short but contain a lot of information. This isn't a strictly financial magazine, in fact most of the content is dedicated to world news. They have some political information, some business stories, arts/books, opinions, a lot of thought provoking pieces. They are carrying stories about goings on in places you may have never heard of, issues that spark your interest in researching further, and give you a perspective on how others in other parts of the world view your country/the world.

Slant: Some people complain The Economist is "too conservative" or "not conservative enough." They do offer opinions when needed on news stories and the authors aren't given bylines. But as a relatively liberal reader, I don't find them "conservative" and I find they give a good in depth analysis of many issues in the world today. Plus, I'm learning about goings on in the world I'd otherwise probably not have ever heard of happening. That's a powerful tool for anyone,and it sheds light on both good and bad issues more of the world should be in tune with.

How can you benefit from reading The Economist?: Lately here in America they've been advertising about "expanding your worldview, learning more, etc" in print ads on public transport. And they aren't wrong. Some will tell you that you can find this news online for free BUT how likely are you to research the events happening in faraway countries you may not even know exist? We're busy as individuals and I think one of the best benefits of The Economist is that anyone can pick it up, read it weekly cover to cover and actually become well informed, aware of the world around them, and gain curiosity into many issues. A nice side benefit? I also subscribed so I can push my mind back into the type of critical thought and focused reading that I need now that I'm back in grad school. My goal is to read each issue in print cover to cover each week. That's already helped me retrain my brain going back to school to be more focused, read more critically, and just keep the mind sharp. Results may vary but it's a nice bonus compared to any magazine/newspaper that isn't gossip, entertainment, or only focused on "your country."

Design and Delivery: The print edition is great. The pages are a little thin (like a newspaper) but this makes the magazine easy to roll out and take on the go. First time in years I've read print media near daily. It's a nice break from staring at screens all day. The mobile app is amazing (I'm running it on BB10) and if you don't have print copy with you, it's very sufficient for on the go reading, beautiful layout. The UI lags occasionally though. The website access is great for all "the extras" you get if you have time each week to get into that bonus material after reading the print edition.  This means you get more than you'll likely ever have time to read each week which could be seen as added value per dollar.

Overall as you can tell I'm a fan. I've only been a subscriber for a month or so but been good so far. Get the best value by buying the print + digital edition and look for deals on The Economist website before buying here.

text: Love This Magazine it's the only one that I look forward to and enjoy talking with<br />friends about what we read.


title: Great for girls!

text: Daughter loves this magazine, reads it cover to cover and tries the crafts and things. Great purchase for girls of the right age.


title: Real Simple Magazine

text: Very good price, finally received my first copy in today's mail, can't wait to read.


title: I love the New Yorker,

text: I read every issue cover-to-cover.


title: Eagerly waiting

text: I greatly enjoyed reading this magazine in years past. However, I have not received anything yet from my Amazon.com order. I am eagerly waiting for my subscription to start!!!


title: Great gift for kids.

text: Carrying on the tradition.  I had these when I was young.  Highlights.  Now ordered for my first grandson, age five.


title: Granddaughter loves it

text: My granddaughter is enjoying her Highights magazine thoroughly


title: Disappointing

text: I like a "country" look in my home and thought I might find some ideas through this magazine. I was disappointed to say the least. Any ideas seem so out  dated and the magazine is extremely "thin" compared to other "woman's" magazines. I won't be renewing my subscription. Sorry.


title: IF you L<3VE Florida!!

text: We just received our first issue of this magazine and we read it cover to cover.  We live in the snowy north and it was delightful to see all the beautiful sunshiny photos all around the beautiful state of Florida!  We visit the state at least once a year and if you visit or certainly if you are lucky enough to be a resident you will love this magazine.  It is full of wonderful and fun things to see, do, and eat all over the state!  I am ordering another subscription for a good friend of mine who moved to Florida recently.  If you live in Florida, or just love it like we do, this is the publication for you!


title: Love it

text: Just what I thought it would be.


title: Just okay

text: I personally don't care a whole lot for this magazine - it's different than what I expected.  I was hoping for a magazine to give ideas on how to decorate your log home, offer landscaping ideas, show photos of how people have designed their cabin interiors, maybe offer tips on where to buy cabin decor, etc.  This magazine is mostly ads for builders. A magazine I like better is The Cottage Journal.


title: Five Stars

text: Great gift for someone who has everything


irritated!  Magazine is not that great, and they autimatically renewed for a higher price!!!!!!!


title: Has great ideas.

text: I knew what I was ordering, it was a great price, very satisfied.


title: Really just way too many ads

text: and not enough 'real' content.  I did not find that it had any technical content at all, just more of a pretty and lets go shopping kind of magazine.  Does not showcase any new innovation.  Just decorating.  :/  Maybe that is all this magazine is going for, but I feel like it could, and should, be so much more.  Sorry.....thumbs down.


title: Great Value

text: This is an awesome man mag. There are are others but Esquire always delivers with their perspective and enlightening article.


title: Family friendly, perfect toileting companion!

text: Reader's Digest is one of those magazines that has been in my life as long as I can remember. It is the perfect magazine to slip into the car backseat, in a bookbag, or onto the back of the commode. The stories are clean and inspirational without being overly sappy. If your looking for the handsome redneck's firm package, this is not your read. However if your are looking for interesting facts, good reads, and funny lines than this is the one!


title: Great home style recipes

text: Great magazine with easy recipes.


title: Creative and Inspiring

text: There's always something new to try in every issue.


title: As well written as ever

text: good magazine for the erudite car enthusiast


title: Do not Subscribe

text:
This magazine used to be cool information about different cultures and places around the planet. Now it's a lot of opinion about current world events and what they think should be.

Also, if you subscribe, it's very difficult to cancel the subscription. They renew 3 months in advance, and you can't cancel the July renew for the subscription the starts in October. That may make me hate the magazine more - that I've been getting magazines for a year AND it just subscribed me again and haven't been able to cancel. I contacted Amazon to cancel today, but I still get another year of paper until September 2023.

title: Not Your Mama's Good Housekeeping

text: Subscribed to this periodical for many years. Cut back a few years ago for economical reasons. Missed it so subscribed again. A bit disappointed as it seems to be about half the former length and subject matter a bit trivial. Have only received two issues so hoping it will get better.


title: Sew?  Here's your "Look Book"

text:
If you sew, subscribe.  I have for years and I almost NEVER read an article.  But every month, you look through it and rip out all the pages you need for inspiration (or outright copying) for sewing and dressing.

I sort the clippings into two folders: red for hot weather/summer/spring, blue for cold weather/autumn/winter.  Stuff I want to make, I put into the folder pockets; outfits I can already mimic, I keep loose in the folder.  Every morning, I take out the top three pictures and use one to step off my day's outfit.

$10 a year: every month, they send you hard copy pictures of what's come down the runway for that season for you to rip out and rip off.  You can't beat it!

title: Perfect for New England

text: Great magazine


My daughter started receiving this magazine this year, and it's a lot of fun. It's like a much smaller version of Highlights, but with more fiction stories. Each issue has a loose theme, and includes a few stories, a couple poems, a song, a comic strip, and 1-3 puzzles. It's cute and great for kids under 7. It gets them to read/be read things they normally wouldn't pick out themselves.


title: Still haven't received an issue

text: I ordered this magazine just before christmas, it's been a full month and I haven't received an issue.


title: I enjoy it every month!

text: I agree with the other reviewer - there certainly are a lot of ads.  Nevertheless, as a long time Portlander, I always enjoy sitting down and perusing the mag from cover to cover each month.  It's *not* a hard hitting news source, nor is it usually very in depth.  It's not intended to be.  It is a slick, glossy overview of the best of what the city has to offer (including the ads).  I've had two separate gift subscriptions, and am planning on renewing for myself when this year is up.


title: So much to learn!

text: We all hide when this magazine comes because my husband spends the next four hours saying "hey listen to this". Okay it really is enjoyable, we learn something new every issue. This is one of our favorite magazines.


title: Useful

text: Informative


title: Old standard still relevant for TV enjoyment

text: Handy list of evening TV line up for easy selection and planning. Great dissection of upcoming series and movies.


title: Don't order it!

text: Ordered this as a Christmas gift in November. No magazine as of this date!! 5/23/2020!


title: Five Stars

text: A great daily prayer guide with lots of extras.


title: great magazine for all levels of photog

text: This is a great magazine for novice, enthusiast or professional.  The tips, techniques, and ability to see exactly how someone got 'THAT' shot, is invaluable.  Definitely love this magazine.


title: Great for little girls!

text:
My 7 year old girl loves getting those in the mail. She can read the stories, color, do puzzles, write, draw,  use recipes for making fruit desserts, play games etc. They also come with stickers. The magazine is colorful & has Strawberry Shortcake, Barbie, Moxie girlz, My little pony, Rainbow magic Polly, Angelina Ballerina,  & lots of other lovable characters.
But I found a better price shopping on-line. It takes a few weeks to be delivered for the first time.
My daughter loves it!


title: Weekly Entertainment Magazine

text: EW Magazine. Shows up every week as scheduled.  I like that I can get the digital download on my kindle too!


title: Just what I wanted!

text: Love the pictures and the content is good.


title: Was well liked

text: Christmas gift


title: Easy Gourmet

text: This is an excellent gift for the gourmet cook or the would-be gourmet.  I give this to my daughter and son-in-law for a Christmas gift.  Cooking is their hobby and they love the recipes presented in this book.  They are concise and while some are challenging they are always delicious and make an attractive presentation.  Pictures and descriptions are clear and colorful.


title: Too many ads

text: Just not enough information


title: Artistic Vision

text: If you're an artist I recommend subscribing to magazines like this because you can use them as a guide to draw women with diffirent hairstyles. Getting clothing or fashion magazines is good to if you like drawing characters with diffirent clothes and styles.


title: It's OK, but not as technical as I'd like

text:
I subscribed to this thinking I'd take a break from Writer's Journal for awhile.  Unfortunately, after my first Writer arrived, I found myself going back to re-subscribe to Writer's Journal as well.  The Writer had a very nice, long, in-depth interview, but didn't have the technique articles Writer's Journal has.  While the Writer had some contest notifications, etc, I felt Writer's Journal had more.

At this review I've only received one Writer, and it is unfair to base the entire magazine off one issue, so I am keeping my subscription for at least the next year.

There were a few things I really liked about the subscription:

1)  it came right away--I didn't have to wait for 6 weeks, I think it started coming within the first month after I ordered.

2)  It was a large magazine, not one with only 10 pages in it (as I have found when I've ordered magazines via the n et without holding a bound paper copy first).

3)  It didn't seem to have the number of advertisements that Writer's Journal is full of.

text: I love having the print edition of Time, and this was a great price. I've been a subscriber now for many years, probably more than 10. Had to contact Time to get this extension of my subscription OK'd for digital access, which their online support was able to do for me.


title: Best magazine for beading, etc....

text: My favorite jewelry making magazine...covers everything that you would want to know about beading, beadwork, beadweaving and even bead embroidery.  Very thorough instructions lead you through each project.


title: While I still love this magazine

text: While I still love this magazine, I REALLY loved it when it had much more recipes and photos and stories from other countries.


title: Pass

text: Not a good read. Thin and mostly pics and ads. Waste of paper.


title: Disappointment

text: I use to like this magazine but most items mentioned in articles cost too much for the common working woman. Oprah seems to have forgotten what it was like when she started in her career.


title: Won't renew

text: Not as interesting as I thought.


title: Great price

text: A must for the old car and truck buff


title: Fast processing.

text: My subscription started in a matter of weeks.


title: Travel & Leisure

text: I look forward to receiving my Travel & Leisure each month.  There is always something interesting to read about, and since my husband amd I do a lot of traveling, it comes in quite handy.


title: Good old Smithsonian - nice to hold the magazine in my hands, and not a device

text: This is such a fun magazine. With kindles everywhere, there is just something about holding those big bold pictures and pouring through articles that is so satisfying and just makes you slow down to enjoy the stories.


title: Great reading for everyone, with those famous Nat. Geo photographs!

text: Who doesn't love Nat. Geo. photography. Oh my. I ordered for my middle and high schooler. They really enjoy this as part of their summer reading. Just fascinating. It's nice to hold a magazine and pour over the pages.


title: Loves this book!

text: This was a gift for my son who is an avid brewer. He was very excited to receive it. He said he can't wait to brew the new beers!


title: Four Stars

text: I like the articles regarding the upcoming show.


title: Makes a great gift magazine

text: bought subscription for a friend 3rd year in a row now. They love it. Makes a great birthday or Christmas gift. I would recommend to others.


title: Delicious

text: Best magazine for car lovers


title: Nothing but advertisements

text: This is a waste of money. The first 30 pages are advertisements, the last 30 pages are advertisements. That leaves room for just a few mediocre articles.  If you are looking for decorating and real estate advertisements, this magazine will delight you.


title: Informative Exercise-oriented Magazine

text: This magazine is full of well-written articles and graphics.  Articles include philosophy and insights about healthy living.  You'll see workout comparisons, tech gear recommendations, season activities, nutritional guidelines with recipes as well as personal stories and inspiration of both famous and regular-joe athletes.  My favorite part is the personal Perspective article by Bahram Akradi inside the back page. He is the reason I purchased this magazine.


title: Disappointing

text:
After reading the reviews here I decided to purchase a subscription to ShutterBug sight unseen.  Big mistake.  This magazine is 95% advertisements.  It cannot possibly contain more than 5% actual "material" on tips, tricks, reviews, etc.

  I'm back to the drawing board looking for a good mag on photography.  Take my advice - go buy one of these magazines before you pay for the full year.  Unless you're looking for page after page of ad's, this is not a keeper.

title: Non gmo recipes

text: Love the subscription


title: Just say no

text: Pooptastic in every way.  Ads for junk and endorsements for even more junk.  If you love to fly in the face of actual science and buy fad items that don't actually work, this is for you.  If you think that things like a light that runs on water "WITH NO BATTERIES" is exciting, this is for you.  If you know how batteries actually work...this magazine is very very poor kindling.  It is about 1/8th the size of comparable crappy magazines, so even as a fire starter it isn't useful.


title: One of My Favorites!

text: I haven't been reading Good Housekeeping for long but I really enjoy the recipes, articles, health news and decorating tips in each issue.  I pass them on to my aunt now and she shares them with her kids!

title: Wonderful magazine for the inquisitive mind!

text: I ordered this magazine for my husband, knowing it was up his alley, but had no idea I would like reading the magazine as well. I couldn't believe the latest edition with the prizes given to students/people who came up with great scientific ideas or products. Most were amazing, but a couple were eye-opening and made me think "why don't we have that already??" Plus this magazine had tidbits of electronics, many many ebay ads (haha, I love ebay too), and overall is quite interesting. Wonderful graphics that help you understand the scientific ideas. A great gift for an inquisitive person!!! A+++!!! Will reorder next year!


title: I love SI

text: I've had a subscription for fifteen years


title: Bought it for my grandson who is 7years old

text: I started this with my grandson when he was 6 years old. Loved it and now I renewed it. This publication goes back when my kids were little which is over 25 years ago. It is not only fun for him and for you to work with him, it challenges them besides learning interesting facts!

title: ALWAYS ONTIME

text: LOVE MY ESSENCE


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine.


title: Love this magazine

text: I use a recipe from this magazine at least once a week. The 30 minute recipe card that come with each issue make easy dinners a snap. Although they take longer than 30 minutes to make most of the time, the ingredients are very basic and can be found at almost any grocery store and the directions are simple, and best of all, they are delicious! The recipes in the magazine are a little more involved, but SO worth it. The Test Kitchen does a superb job of making the right dish every time. I love the discussion of how they arrived at the recipe they are publishing and which brands of products they used, or recommend. I feel like I really know more about the dish after reading their articles. One of the first sections has suggestions for kitchen short cuts, and most of them have come in handy. The product reviews they do are great as well. I have never been disappointed with a recipe or and issue of this magazine and plan on subscribing always.


title: Eh

text: This magazine is just one big add for food network with a few very strange recipes throw in. Skip it


title: Nice to browse

text: They need more articles and pictures. Nice magazine. Good add more substance


title: Look forward to it arriving.

text: It is always the best of the best.


title: The "Consumer Reports" for Motorcycles

text: Totally unbiased as they accept no advertising.  Have safety articles by David Hough.  Enjoy both the articles, tests and columns.


title: My great niece loves this

text: I ordered this for my great niece as part of her Christmas.  Her mom says she loves it and it is on their nightly reading rotation.


title: Great subscription for the Texas lover I your life!

title: For me, much better than Cooking Light

text:
I've subscribed to Cooking Light for several years, but found that it has declined over the years: excessive advertising, too many non-cooking-related articles, too many recipes that weren't particularly "light".

Amazon had a good deal on Eating Well, and so I decided to give it a shot.  I expect that I will not subscribe to Cooking Light again because Eating Well seems to be much more focused on healthy recipes, organizes the nutritional information very well (I love that the table of contents includes a list of all the recipes WITH their nutritional information), and seems to have much less fluff interrupting the food articles and recipes.

Which magazine is a better choice for you?  It may come down to personal preference (for example, you may like the numerous exercise-related articles in Cooking Light).  However, I encourage you to take a look at an issue of Eating Well and see for yourself...this could become your favorite healthy recipe magazine.


title: Great publication

text: This is a great publication.  Articles are short, quick reads.  The journalism seems to be less biased than a lot of other publications.


title: Love it

text: My grandchildren, ages 4 and 2 absolutely love this magazine. They wait for the mail everyday to see if it has come. Thank you National Geographic for providing this informative little issue for girls and boys.

My husband  and I both enjoy this magazine. Great plans and ideas in it. Great for a do it yourself type of person.


title: Love this magazine

text: Love this magazine. I have been getting it for a few years. Some of my favorite designers have articles in it. It is a great magazine and I would highly recommend it! I have no problems with it!


Wonderful magazine! Beautiful pictures on very good paper! Stylist and gorgeous homes! The downside would be that it istraditional homes and I like country and farmhouse decor.


title: GREAT Magazine for those born 1930s & 40s

text:
My parents were born around 1930 and this magazine is their favorite reading.  All these years I've never seen them so eager for a piece of mail to arrive.  Both my mom and dad told me that this is the first and only magazine they've ever read cover to cover (and I mean every inch).
Typically the issues contain old photos that readers send in - showing how things were for everyday people.  Along with those pictures are stories/anecdotes.  In the stories the folks mention a lot of old-timey stuff that the reader may not have thought of in years. Also included are old advertisements, costs of goods, songs, recipes, and miscellaneous household tips.

This makes a fantastic gift subscription.


title: Unexpectedly interesting

text: I got this hoping that, given the broad range of topics covered, my scientifically-inclined yet fickle 9 yr-old son would at least find one or two articles interesting each issue.  My expectations were exceeded.  He ends up reading it cover-to-cover.  He quotes facts from it in dinner conversations.  With adults!  This is just great youth journalism.  The only downside is that he is so excited when he gets it that he zips through it in under an hour.  Now what do we do?


title: My 5 Yr Old & I Love H-5 !!!

text: My 5 year old daughter gets so excited when this magazine arrives for her. She wants to and does read the newly arrived issue from front to back. She is so enthusiatic about this magazine & likes that it is all hers! Mom loves it too. It really promotes independent reading although I still help her with some parts. She loves when I read the spanish story every month, she loves my spanish pronuciation, she says Again, Again. I love that they have poetry and short stories and even a recipe each month. My daughter always wants to make the recipe and she can follow it exactly with the help of the pictures. I can't wait for next months issue to arrive myself!


title: Great product

text: Great product


title: Great for early reading

text: My 5YO grandson looks forward to getting this magazine.  It helps with early reading and shape recognition.  Each issue has a theme followed throughout the magazine. I highly recommend..


title: I've been down this road before

text: No way they get me again. When this magazine is published, it's awesome. But these guys don't know squat about running a business. You may receive a few issues, but then they cut you off and disappear, like your Aunt's boyfriends always do. And it's back to the methadone clinic. No thanks.

title: Does not come monthly

text: You randomly get 3 old magazines at a time that are full of ads. This is very disappointing, especially the delivery service.


title: Our 4 year old loves this magazine

text: Everything about this magazine if great for preschoolers and children learning to read. Our 4 year old looks forward to the new magazine coming in the mail. He also loves re-reading past issues throughout the month. There is fun activities such as finding hidden pictures, and "that's silly" where we can point out all the silly things.  The stories and poems are just right for that age, and i believe the will be great when he is starting to read.

text: My husband, a golfer, loves this magazine. I can't say if it has improved his golf game or anything - that is probably expecting too much.  But he likes reading about it!

text: It was processed very efficiently and received my first copy in less than 2 weeks.  I  read the magazine cover to cover.


title: Great info.

text: I got this for my niece who loves to keep up on the Entertainment industry. She loves it. Thank you.


title: Not Just for Older Readers!

text:
I bought this magazine last year when it was on sale just to see what it was about. I'll admit, I had many preconceived notions about it. I thought it was going to feature articles that I didn't relate to - and content mainly geared at my Mother and Grandmother's generations.

I was wrong. I'm in my mid-20s and this is by far one of my favorite magazines. Hands down. It has great, very relevant articles that will apply to any woman, marriage, and home. The advice is amazing and I love the recipes and kitchen ideas.

I also have to add that my 19 year old brother in law commented recently that it had some pretty good articles on relationships!

I highly recommend it. I just renewed early so as to not miss an issue. It's really worth the price. You wont regret it - no matter your age!


title: Pretty disappointed...

text:
I'm glad I ordered Marie Claire while it was just $5.00 for two years. Because of that, reading the first issue wasn't as painful as it could have been. It was still definitely painful, though.

Wow, this magazine is full of ads. Every other page - and in some places every page for five pages! There isn't much substance to the magazine and it literally took me all of ten minutes to finish "reading" the whole thing. No useful articles, nothing but ads and pictures of frightening looking and rather gaunt women. Yes, fashion magazines are full of those...but some of these women looked just sick! It pained me to look at them. Toward the front of the magazine, there is one shot of three models in the middle of a page and they literally look like aliens. So thin and starving their heads look two times too big. Poor girls. That being the only thing that stuck out in a decent sized magazine...that's pathetic.


title: Subscription for my Husband

text: My Husband is way into technology, so I got this for him. It was a great price, so I figured we could check it out. It's pretty neat. He got his first issue this week and has already read a lot of it. Pretty interesting. It's got everything from do-it-yourself home ideas to articles on the latest medical technologies and whose introducing them.

title: Fun to read!

text: Again prefer an actual magazine than downloading digital. Fun to read!!


title: Super entertaining and informative

text: I’ve always enjoyed reading this magazine. I’m old school so I prefer buying magazines than downloading digital ones. Informative and entertaining.


title: Great magazine

text: Definitely worth the cost & keeping for reference.


title: Eagerly anticipating Babybug

text: I haven't seen this magazine in close to 20 years and still have the inaugural issue.  Based on the magazine from 20 years ago, I purchashed a subscription for my grand-niece without hesitation.  I also plan to follow up w/a subscription to Ladybug.  This was, and I'm guessing it still is, a quality magazine for little hands.

title: Don’t Subscribe here if you want all the issues or if you want them in a timely manner.

text: I love this magazine, but save yourself the hassle and either get a digital subscription or subscribe directly from the uk publisher immediate media. It will cost more from immediate but it is worth it. These issues come out 2-3 months behind, are labeled differently than the uk issues, and they also don’t include all the uk issues. Most of them, but not all. I’m missing issue 149 and I can tell from looking at the magazines I have that the numbers are sequential so they must not be sending it as part of the subscription. It’s very irritating.  First picture proves they are sequential. Second is the issue that came out in the uk in between the last two issues.


title: Disappointing

text:
At least half the magazine is advertisements.
Most of the rest is about maintenance of old Porsches and the numerous and expensive repairs that are the norm.
If you own a decade old or older Porsche and need to know the details of diagnosis and changing parts you might like it.
The magazine is not for those who own newer cars or who don’t work on their own cars.  It’s ideal for mechanics who work on old Porsche models.  The few articles from contributors are poorly written and add nothing to information readily available from scores of free online resources.


title: Forbes beats them all

text: I've been a Forbes subscriber for years, even years before there was an Amazon.com. It's the best business magazine. Along with US News & World Report, a one two punch.


title: Four Stars

text: Love the easy recipes. Lots of good ideas!


title: Used to be awesome

text: I used to subscribe, and loved the magazine. But lately there are way too many ads. I like the projects, so I look for it online and in books. Sad.

title: WOW

text: VERY NICE MAG IF YOU LIKE TO PAINT OR SCULPT.....THERE ARE SOME VERY TALENTED PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.  NICE PRICE, GREAT CONTENT...NICE READ.


title: GREAT MAGAZINE

text: IF YOU ARE A NOVICE PAINTER LOOKING FOR A MAGAZINE THIS IS IT.  THERE ARE DOZENS OF PAINTINGS TO OBSERVE HOW PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS PAINT.  YOU GET GREAT IDEAS AND CAN ADMIRE PAINTINGS WITHOUT A TRIP TO THE MUSEUM.  NOT A HOW TO MAGAZINE!


title: I was Robbed!

text: This by far has always been my favorite magazine & I was thrilled when it came back, so I bought a 2 yr sub only to never receive any! $30 ripoff no phones working no way to contact a soul! But they took my money! Don't waste your time or your money!

text: I love this magazine. It is informative and it has articles that reach a diverse audience.


title: dismal experience

text:
My family and I recently spent 3 years in Barcelona, so upon our return to the States I was looking foward to getting a subscription to "Hola," and ordering it through Amazon seemed the easiest way to go about doing that.

I ordered a year's subscription to "Hola" on Amazon in February 2005.  The first issue, after many calls to the 1-800 magazine subscription number provided by Amazon, arrived at the end of May 2005.

However, I was assured by Amazon's subscription 1-800 customer service number that I would receive a full year's subscription:  May 2005 to May 2006.

However, all I received were 9 months of "Hola" for my one-year $220 subscription.  Very disappointing for such an expensive subscription.

Appaprently others have had the same experience.  So, unless you want to spend over $200 to receive only 8 or 9 months of this magazine, avoid subscribing through Amazon.

title: LONG TIME SUBSCRIBING MOTHER FOR SON

text: I have ordered "Climbing" magazine each and every year for I want to say the past 25 years!  My son is now grown with a family of his own!  This magazine still appears in a prominent place in his home ... he continues to read each and every word in every issue!  Money so very well spent!  He reminds me when it's time for me to renew this jewel!<br />Come to think of it, I first bought this magazine for him because he did not enjoy reading, but loved climbing rocks where we live in Colorado.  This magazine certainly sparked and encouraged his interest in reading ... he graduated from college and grad school with high honors!

title: Great help in the kitchen

text: Wonderful tips on how to make the best meals. Just like the show on PBS! Very helpful with good directions.


title: Everyone who is interested in Science or Technology or just Keeping the Car Running Needs this.

text: Been reading this since I was in 7th grade.  In contrast to my friends, I can actually do a brake job or improve the  installation in my house, AND I am beginning to understand how the universe works.  When the children of friends show any interest in Science, I get this for them - normally anonymously.


title: A total Joy Every Month

text: Been reading this since 7th grade, and so I am REALLY smart!  :-)  Other than that, once you begin to understand the subject matter, every issue is something that I look forward to.


title: Honest and Informative

text: I have been reading this publication for a long time.  What differentiates it from other publications is that it accepts NO advertising, so it is not influenced by companies pushing their own drugs.  It is rare that honesty is available.  Surprisingly, articles cover the drugs that I use (there a bunch) and the conditions that I have (another bunch) in great detail.


title: The Best Because it is the ONLY Publication of its Type Available

text: As part of my watchmaking interests, I have become interested in numerically-controlled milling machines and lathes.  This is the best publication for hobbyists that I have found.  It is also the ONLY publication of its type that I have found.  Nice articles, excellent collection of advertisements.  Quite a bit of depth.  And, of course, lots of pictures of hardware churning out things.  If you plan to make watch or clock parts, this is not a bad place to start, but the factories that I visited in Switzerland have equipment that is WAY more advanced and precise.  Still a good introduction to concepts such as "G-Codes".


title: too many ads

text: Lots of advertising, not much information that I didn't already know.


title: Not as good as it used to be

text: I had a subscription to Smithsonian about 10 years ago and loved it. I won't be renewing this time. The stories are nothing that interests me.


title: Great overall magazine

text: This magazine has a great variety of information and neat projects. Has a tendency to disappear if left laying around.


title: M/C Mag

text: what can i say, it's a motorcycle consumer new mad....good info


title: Fantastic cover to cover magazine

text: I have many magazines subscriptions.  Out of all that I get this one is my favorite.  I love the pictures, the information, the what is worth pages and the country vet page. Also live the recipes. Most magazines I get I flip through and just donate.  But this one I read cover to cover and keep some of them for long periods before donating or recycling.<br />I love this magazine.  The decorating ideas are fantastic and simple and most always can be found affordable.  I don't have anything negative at all to say about it. Another reason I love it is because it is affordable for all households.  I love it!!

title: Just another Trump bashing paparazzi broadsheet.

text: I've been a VF “subscriber for over 8 years now, it use to be a very good magazine. Nobody really looks at the advertisements, because nearly nobody can afford the goods. The magazine use to have a great variety of themes they would dissert about; but since the rise of our new president it has become a monotonous "Trump bashing" paparazzi broadsheet. Unless they start printing about more then just one topic, I would not recommend it to anybody and will not renew my subscription !


title: my review

text: Product is great.  I was very happy with the immediate response and quick timeline in getting the magazine to my home.  Thanks


title: What our daughters should be reading

text:
American Girl magazine is geared to girls aged 7-13.  Much younger than that and many girls aren't reading at the appropriate level yet.  Much older and they may be ready to move on.  But honestly I'm surprised to read so many reviews by 10 or 11 year old girls who feel they're too old for this magazine.  I don't believe girls that age NEED magazines based solely on makeup tricks, flirting with boys, etc.  AG has articles such as dealing with relationships with friends.  Like when you and your best friend start to grow apart.  Or when she moves away.  Articles like one about a girl whose family travels around the world on their sailboat for two years.  Crafts that you can actually be proud to give at the age of 10.

Several reviewer have complained that the magazine is short and expensive.  It is.  But here's why:  there is NO advertising (short of anything American Girl related).  In many magazines, advertising accounts for easily half the pages.  And advertising enables publishers to sell magazines for a low cost.  AG has no advertising and so has to charge a fair price to produce it.  I'm more than willing to pay for that kind of publication.

Parents ordering for your daughters, you know your girl.  If you've got a 10 year old going on 16, this may not be for your child.  If you have a precocious 6 year old, she might like it as well.  AG is the kind of magazine I'm glad my daughters enjoy.


title: Most informative magazine on Ferrets ever!

text: I have found out more information about Ferrets than I could ever imagine in this magazine.  I picked one up a while back at the store to look at on the road and then decided it was so worth while to have, that I subscribed to it.  I bought a Ferrets for Dummies book a while back also and have read it cover to cover.  Not to knock it, but it has a lot of generalizations that don't apply to every ferret which you have to keep in mind. : )  It was informative also, but I have found many more specifics on topics that I have been looking for in this magazine.  If you have ferrets, this is a must get to read in what free time you may have!


title: Not for  me

text: I cancelled my new subscription after one issue.  Just not what I would read right now, very wordy, and not as topical as I wanted it to be.  I know this years news has been a more narrow spectrum variety than usual, still, stories on other newsworthy topics deserve to be shared and explored.  I guess I am not interested as much in the choices the Nation is making, as the Nation magazine is.


title: My nonfiction loving 7yo loves it

text:
He even reads it to our 3yo, he loves it so much.

Short review, that's all I had to say.


title: Subscriptions too complicated

text: Different levels -- please!  Should be "pay one price" get everything with one internet link for all enhancements. I'd like to see more learning material and less selling. Too pricey at $39/12


title: great magazine

text: its amazing how far diesels have come and this magazine is the most complete source of content on what is currently going on not only in racing and sled puling but also in home projects that in most cases can be done in only a few short hours i look forward to reading this magazine every month and it helped me plan a list of mods to do to my own diesel so that i improved fuel economy and made it way more fun to drive

title: Mediocre since Time, Inc took it over

text: In the not-too-distant past, the quality of this publication went right into the 🚽. It went from being a vibrant publication for people who live or vacation in seasde communities to being a bunch of schlock advertising aimed at the same crowd. TAKE A PASS ON THIS ONE.


title: Ouch!!!

text:
I've subscribed to Smart Money for the last three years. Just received an "Important SUBSCRIBER Notice" advising me that they were automatically extending my subscription into the future ad nauseum. "No more renewals to send back. No postage to pay. No more paperwork -- we take care of all the deatails for you by remewing your subscription automatically each year unless you tell us to stop."

Needless to say, I've notified them to stop. I wish I had never subscribed.

It's worth noting that if you subscribe either through amazon or by using a mail-in card asking to be billed, the magazine will not have your credit card number to bill.


title: Misnamed

text: What this magazine should be named is "Franchises". Entrpreneurs are risk takers, people who invest in franchises are risk-avoiders, and often end up being cheated. Of course there's no mention of that in this magazine; it might offend the advertisers.


title: Mediocre

text:
Perhaps the most useful way to classify magazines offering investment advice is by the markets they serve. For Kiplinger, this is very much the Middle Class--lots of advice on mutual funds, "7 Stocks You Should Own Now," planning for retirement, etc. Unfortunately, the advice is very much middle-of-the-road and not terribly useful. The magazine loses credibility when the mutual funds it recommends change from month to month.

A more entertaining and useful publication, one aimed at the Upper Middle Class, is [[ASIN:B000LXS9PY SmartMoney [2-year subscription]]], published by the editors of the Wall Street Journal. Not only are their investment suggestions better, but they talk about a lot of other things of interest to those with disposable income (e.g., wine). Even if you don't have a lot of disposable income, it's a lot more fun to read than Kiplinger's, and your conversations will become more interesting.


title: pretty good

i've gotten 2 or 3 magazines of this subscription so far, & this is my 1st time subscribing, so i am a newb with this magazine.
if you're trying to decide whether to subscribe to this magazine...

ok, so i am a very picky food person.
i am picky about quality, texture, flavor,
preparation method, etc. i'm probably crazy but i like it. & so does whoever i make food for, as far as they tell me.

i do get annoyed that food mags follow trends & styles just like fashion mags do,
but whatever, there's nothing to be done about that. This magazine is not so trendy as martha stewart's food mag was, at least, but definitely follows the current fod trends. This gets annoying because when you want a recipe for something new to you but different than everything else in all the other magazines & websites, good luck.
  every recipe i have tried from this magazine has been good.
i wish it was more that 6 issues per year...
  this month, they had a section about dessert souffles, which i have never even eaten, but which i am going to try.
i am not big on baking. i am part italian, was raised italian & therefore i like *eating* sweets and i cook on the stove top. I'm not the kind to bake sweetie treats. i buy them from bakeries instead. it's just easier for me.
  so anyway this souffle article/section was so good, it has all these tips, hints, and step-by-simple-step directions that i am going to try making some souffle. just to see what happens. and i love the 'create-a-recipe' recipe things they have, where they say "ok, it's cookies!", or, "it's stew!", and step-by-step, they tell you what to do BUT THEY ALSO GIVE YOU AN INGREDIENTS OPTIONS LIST so you can create your own recipe, and in an informed manner, for those less experienced in flavor combinations and methodologies.
also, they have recipes for every course, always a few pages on salads, too. not very heavy on baked desserts (which for me is no biggie). the photos are wonderful. they also have reviews here & there on gadgets, gift ideas for different kids of cooks, etc things like that.

so, those are some examples of why i like this food mag.

so,  if you are a slightly picky foodie/cheffie type, this magazine should be quite fine for you.
i do think it is worth the subscription price, if that is any assistance.

of note, you MIGHT be able to just sign up to their website w/o subscribing to the actual physical mag, & get all the same info.
however, you do not get the pretty, glossy magazine which you can flip thru and feel & hold with your hands while sitting at a table relaxing.

title: Love Country Living.

text: I love Country Living.  I still have several issues from as early as the 80's.  The magazine has changed quite a bit since then so that was a little disappointing.  I assume online magazines has contributed to that.


title: Fabulous magazine.

text: Awesome magazine.  Modern and a good combination of being about art, but not being snobby, and being about craft and crafters but not being cutesy.  This magazine represents magnificent artisans who are inspirational, and the articles talk about their work intelligently and artfully.

text: BUYER BEWARE if you sign up  keep an eye on your subscription labels, they start taking away months. I have had this happen twice now and they argue with me and tell me I am wrong. I know what I paid for and had to fight to get all the issues I paid for. I will never order or buy this magazine again.

title: Be careful of automatic renewals !

text: Didn’t order !


title: Fits my needs

text: I had been getting Real Simple for a couple of years but lately have not been too impressed with it.  I started getting Good Housekeeping and find it fits my lifestyle better and I enjoy reading it.  For these reasons, I am subscribing to it.


title: I love this magazine

text: I subscribe to only 4 paper craft related magazines and this one is one of the best. I find it only includes layouts showing the latest trends and products and while I may not have all of them, it is very inspiring. there is always something new to try, buy or enjoy.

title: Great for keeping current

text: I have been buying this magazine for my son-in-law for a few years now.  He loves getting it and refuses to throw any away.


My son loves to read it. It's a good scientific magazine for elementary school kids.


title: Love it

text: My favorite magazine. Full of great ideas, time savers and season themed ideas


title: It's OK

text: Title should be Arabian instead of Equus.  Not what I expected.


title: Like the size

text: I  travel quite a bit and this size magazine fits perfectly in my purse or overnight bag to read on the way.  Usually there is enough interesting reading to last for the whole journey and I can share the jokes with anyone sitting next to me if they care to hear them.

title: Agenda Driven

text: I buy into sports and the media that follows it because I can escape all the mainstream media agenda driven items. SI is now making it clear they have no problem alienating 50% of their audience. Will find a different source of sports reporting that leaves politics out of it so I can continue to escape the political world we always seem to live in.


title: Four Stars

text: Magazine is good as far as paper and print ,sucks on content .


title: Five Stars

text: great mag.


title: love the Vanity Fair!

text: This is a great magazine and a even greater buy. I love the articles .


title: Solid 3.5 stars

text: This is pretty good magazine and for the price of a $8 it is a steal.  I give the magazine itself 3.5 stars and the price with it 4 stars.  There are many good ideas in this magazine and one of the only magazines besides my favorite (All You) that offers normal clothes and normal stores.  The past months articles on saving money were well thought out and were easy things to try.  The idea of putting a filled bottle water in the back of your toilet to decrease how much water needed per flush was a great idea!  The one reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the constant need to have celebrities on the front cover while the articles about them aren't direct interviews - just some statements made to other people here and there.  Seems lame.  Otherwise this is one of the better mom magazines out there.


title: I would rate it 3.5 stars

text:
This magazine is pretty good.  There are some great recipes and some good articles but my gripe is the "lose weight quickly" articles in every darn issue along with dessert photos on the front page.  Oh, the irony!  I think it is a mix of Family Circle meets US magazine.  Not a bad thing but not my style.  It feels slightly cheesy.  That said, it is different then many magazines and some moms might really enjoy this style magazine.

I much prefer All You to this magazine.  I don't think I am going to renew First but I still read them when they arrive.


title: my new favorite magazine!

text:
I highly recommend this magazine for working or stay at home moms. There is truly a little bit of everything.  Inexpensive fashion, makeup tips, healthcare, nutrition, fitness, relationships, family, etc... It doesn't prefer one to the other and there are useful tips jotted all over the place that are truly useful. There are very few ads in the magazine and the ones they do have usually come with useful coupons.  It seems to market young moms ages 25-40.  I am 31 and when this magazine comes in the mail, I honestly read it front to back.  No useless stories or expensive fashion that is out of my reach.  I just hope it stays as consistent and true to the market they are reaching.  Thanks All You!!!

7/29/08 UPDATE:  I just reordered this for another 2 years.  This magazine is still great and I actually start thinking about when another issue will be hitting my mailbox which hasn't happened since I was a teen.

Top 10 Favorite Parts:
1. Sudoku, Futoshiki, Crossword and Picture Puzzles in every issue
2. Table of Contents shows a picture of the front cover with page numbers for each tag - quick to flip to what interests you.
3. Easy layout to read. There are ordered sections called You Self, Your Health, Your World, Your Home, Seasonal, and In Every Issue.
4. Normal everyday people - no stick figure models in the this mag.
5. Fashion, decorating and make-up suggestions are all normal brands at normal stores (Target, Macy's, Gap, Walmart, Old Navy, LLBean, Pier 1)
6. Little fluff and most of the ads that are in there have coupons
7. Safe enough to leave on the table around kids (no kinky stuff)
8. Just enough family and kid-fun info but majority appeals to women so you don't feel so mommyish readying it
9. No gossip or celebrity picture.  I don't buy anything that pays scummy paparazzi.
10.  I can read it from beginning to end the first day and still go back to the issue multiple times thru the month for decorating, fashion and recipe ideas.  Great value

I normally don't write long reviews but this is truly a great magazine!

EDIT:  7/7/09 - BEFORE you order this magazine PLEASE look over the time it takes to get your first one in the mail.  Amazon states it takes 6 to 10 weeks from the day you purchase right at the top of the page.  All the 1 star reviews are from idiots who are mad their magazine hasn't come yet and "it's been a whole month!"  Stop leaving poor reviews because it isn't All You's fault or Amazon's - it is your own fault for not reading the obvious print on how long it takes to arrive.  Be patient.  It is a great magazine and doesn't deserve the bad 1 star reviews for people's lack of common sense.

EDIT: 7/5/13 - I still order and read this magazine every single month.  I think the content has stayed the same but I think there are a few less coupons than before.  The only place you can pick this magazine up in the stands is at Walmart.  And yes, it still takes a long time to get this magazine like every other magazine from Amazon.  You can get it a few weeks quicker going directly to their publishing department but I like the magazine subscription reminder thru Amazon as opposed to getting paper mail from publishers.  Earth friendly and easier to remember.
