title: My 97 year old grandmother picked this out as a gift for our 7 year old son.

text: My elderly grandmother picked this out for our then-7-year-old son and we have continued the subscription for about 2 years now. The magazine has funny pictures and stories and we have fun reading it together at night. It is light and a nice change from novels. I recommend this and am about to buy it as a gift for my niece. I am surprised by all of the negative reviews, actually!


title: Great magazine, awesome subscription deal.

text: Great magazine. Got a really good deal—$5 for a subscription!


title: Easy and clever

text: I found so many easy and clever problem solvers in this magazine. I recommend it to all females. Keep up the great articles.


title: Comes every month the way it is supposed to come

text: It is a magazine. It comes, I read the jokes and do the word games. It's nothing exciting, but I enjoy it.


title: Awesome

text: Very informative


title: Great gift

text: Beautiful magazine


title: nothing you need to know

text: booring


title: love it

text: Thanks for offering the national geographic at such a reasonable price.  Although all magazines are available through my local library on my kindle, I like having the paper version.


title: I keep old issues

text: Some magazines go the office after a few months, The Family Handyman stays home for reference.  I like the project ideas, great tip and tricks, and helpful advice.  Some of the reviews come across like ads but are still very helpful.  I think it's even better that I can manage my subscription with Amazon now, so easy to get the best price and pay online!


title: Everything i wanted in a magazine

text: Im not a big 'zine reader. I have a couple favorites (RS, Domino- R.I.P) but somehow whole living magically appeared in my mailbox. Maybe a super nice secret admirer/friend who knows about my abnormal obsession with anything green/healthy/vegetarian signed me up. Anyhow, it rocks. Amazing recipes, great workout tips, and not all the misinformation found in alot of pandering women's health mags that normally turns me off. And not alot of ads- I have no idea why people are complaining about that. I find it to be less than usual - but people think about it - your subscription is $12 a month for a REASON. Ads pay for the majority of costs associated with magazines. Sheesh you all want your cake and eat it too.  Anyways, I think martha hit a homerun with this one- thanks super secret admirer!!


title: Decent general photography magazine

text:
As any magazine that is dependend on advertisements, do not expect too critical articles. Reviews of products usually start with a description that comes straight from the product flyer including all kinds of bold claims. But the reviews themselves seem to be more neutral as compared to some other popular photography magazines.

There are of course many pages of advertisements from the various small and large retailers. Personally I think that is great, as I see it as information (what is on the market, etc). However if you see it as something distracting I'd advise to buy a couple of issues at the supermarket before commiting to a subscription (then again, a year subscription costs about as much as 3 single issues so who cares?)

All in all pleasant reading, not to deep, but I'm always happy when I see the latest issue in my mailbox.

text: One of my favorite reads!


title: An Acquired Taste

text: Not a fan of the whole Texan Country Chic bit.


title: Four Stars

text: Good magazine


title: Needed a chance to update address

text: Love the magazine and give it yearly as a gift.  But the automatic renewal does not give a person a chance to update the address if the person to whom you are giving the magazine moved.


title: Three Stars

text: My wife is the reader. I just look at the ads to see how German magazins advertise.


title: I love Eating Well

text: I have already made many of the recipes I've found in Eating Well November and December issues a part of my regular menus.  Family loves them.


title: Lots of Advertising

text: Great recipes, too much advertising!


title: Will not renew

text: Have not found the articles helpful, or anything I can relate to. . .  Seems like a lot of "exotic" ingredients for their recipes. Lots of advertising. Will not renew.


title: Love it

text: I got this magazine for my granddaughter last year for her birthday and she loved it.  I renewed her subscription for this year and she is very happy with it.


title: Best Magazine

text: I have subscriptions to over 30 (yes, 30) magazines.  I love to read and love to be informed of the lastest trends, findings, etc and magazines do it the best.  But, of all the mags I receive, Oprah is the best.  It is the best for the writing style, information covered and presented, pertinence and practicality (without being condescending, overly sweet or too vague).  The other thing I enjoy about this magazine is that it is not afraid to publish articles that may be considered foolish or "fringe".  It is a good and entertaining read with great articles that appeal to everyone.  It is written with intelligence and humor.


title: MAD magazine, gone the way of late night television.

text: Another institution politicized and ruined! This magazine has gone the way of late night television. How is it people who live and make their livelihood here in America can have such disdain for making America great? If your offended, maybe you need to find some other country to live. Sports, music, television all have become politicized and are no longer watchable or listenable. We now can add MAD magazine to that list! Such a shame and it really is sad.


title: Five Stars

text: My Sister loves this!!!  So do I!!!!


title: You Spin Me 'Round

text:
This magazine rocks.
Not only does it give struggling, unheard of artists a genuine boost, it promotes honest and unflinching accounts of the lifestyle behind most of today's musicians (as well as yesterday's, now that I reflect). Beside accomplishing that, there is not "definition" to the type of music chosen. It isn't an alternative magazine. It's a MUSIC magazine. And that it has accomplished very well.
By encompassing all genres (excepting country, I must admit) Spin has become one of the better music mags to have graced my mailbox. Spin is forward thinking, well-written, aesthetically pleasing and a gem of a monthly publication. There aren't stereotypes, typical photo shoots, boring stories or gimmicks. It is straightforward and real, and I am glad each month when my Spin arrives.


title: Good perspective

text: It’s good to hear from a different perspective. Articles are good and factual


title: 1 out of 20 is sorta bad

text:
Looking back over my knitting history, it becomes clear to me that a large number of patterns I've actually chosen to make have come from a Knitter's Magazine.  However, for every one pattern that I adore, there are about 20 others that I find absolutely hideous: color mixes that are reminiscent of a 70s-era rumpus room -- orange, brown, and red put together in stripes; bulky, 80s-era, plain purple cardigans with absolutely no adornment to make them stand out; boxy, unappealing silhouettes; a strange predilection for particular styles like domino and odd patchworks...sometimes even the models seem embarrassed by what they have on.  I let my subscription lapse after one year because I found myself more often laughing at what I saw than being inspired by it.

I don't mean to be rude, but I think a lot of the patterns skew to an older audience.  If you're under 40, you might want to look elsewhere.  Although, maybe you'll want to pay out the money for the one attractive pattern usually hidden in among the dross of each issue.


title: Good for a free magazine

text: I recently starting getting this magazine since I joined a Boston gym, it is apparently part of the membership.  It is good magazine, but I wouldn't rate it as "great"  When my free subscription runs out, I will not renew and purchase it myself.  For anyone looking for a very helpful women's magazine, for whatever stages you are in...I recommend OXYGEN.  Many helpful articals for EVERYONE!!!


title: Too many ads, cover in subscription is different than ...

text: Too many ads, cover in subscription is different than retail. Comes out late after issue was already on stands


title: Keeping it simple.

text: It's still my stepmother's favorite magazine after all these years. I renew it for her every Christmas. She always got bored with the other magazines I gave her.


title: Nothing but ads

text: If they made a television station with nothing but commercials, it would be like this magazine.  Had the publisher been more forthcoming, they would have entitled it "RV Reviews" or something of that nature.  There is little in this magazine having to do with actual camping.  It's almost exclusively RV articles.  I'm not opposed to RV camping (I rather enjoy RV'ing too) but I was under the impression that it covered tent camping as well.  It does precious little of that!  The most unacceptable portion of the magazine is the fact that it's just pages and pages of ads for RV's and RV-related items.  I wouldn't even recommend this to an RV owner as there just really aren't all that many articles here.  The few articles they have are pretty good, but not great.  Look elsewhere for a good camping magazine.


title: *~ My FaVoRiTe Teen Magazine*~

text: This is my favorite teen magazine~ It has the newest freshest style to it and its all for teenage girls~ Its just a really fun magazine with the best articles, pictures, ADVICE, horoscopes, stories (both funny and serious), the latest updates, and basically anything you can think of~<br />If you only subscribe to one teenage magazine this one should be it! Its such a low price and its worth every cent!~


title: *~ Great magazine for Cheerleaders*~

text:
American Cheerleader, the magazine dedicated to the sport cheerleading ( yes it IS a sport). This magazine is jam packed with articles, tips, stories, cheerleader of the month, horoscopes.. you name it!
Sometimes cheerleaders dont get all the respect they deserve. Cheerleaders are called "preppy" or " snobby," in some cases and this magazine proves differently. Not saying some arent "snobby" and "preppy" but come on give cheerleaders a chance!
Cheerleaders work hard, practice long hours, and show school spirit for their teams! This magazine shows the best of cheerleaders. If your a cheerleader or like cheerleading then sunscribe to this wonderful magazine!
A definite 5 stars!~


title: The last of a breed

text: EQMM is about the last chance for solid ,well written crime fiction in a magazine form around these days. As has been noted, not all of the stories in here will be instant classics... but they are all solid short story form fiction. I hope that EQMM will be around for many,many years to come showcasing old pros and breakout rookies alike. You really can't go wrong with this timeless gem!


title: satisfaction

text: i love this magazine and recieved it in a timely matter


title: I was supposed to receive a  one year subscription, I only received 6 months!

text: I enjoy looking at picture of haute couture to get ideas for sewing. I was really disappointed that I only received six months worth of the magazine instead of the one year subscription I ordered!


title: Bon appetit is a great magazine for anybody who loves food!

text: I first got this as a free sample because of something else I had purchased through Amazon. My whole family loved it so much that we have been ordering it ever since. We both work in restaurants and consider ourselves to be foodies so it is perfect for us. We all(including my 5 year old daughter) get excited to look through it each month and find great new recipes that we have to try. There is a good mix of colorful pictures mixed in with the mouth watering recipes. I would say that this would be a good magazine even for someone who is not overly into food but who is looking for some good new dishes to add to their monthly repertoire or just a little inspiration.


title: Five Stars

text: A great magazine.


title: The Pictures you never forget!

text: Many of National Geographic's pictures are the kind you may never have seen before, and all of them excellent photographs in marvelous color.  One can learn a lot of course from the well-written articles, but the pictures are the thing here!<br />The gift of a subscription of this magazine is always a winner!  Even our high school grandkids love it.


title: Sad, Not Like the Old Days

text: Unlike the old days this magazine is now only about commercials. I get so many issues from them for my students, but I don't know if I want to bring them to school. It's all about buying a bunch of garbage the kids don't need and their parents couldn't afford. Also, the magazine is incredibly skinny with maybe on 3 worthwhile pages.


title: A few good ideas

text: Some good articles, too many ads, but that’s true of most magazines.


title: It was difficult and confusing to access the digital version ...

text: It was difficult and confusing to access the digital version. The paper copy was spotty on delivery and I live in the city.


title: Great Magazine!

text: Great magazine! Well written with interesting articles.


title: It's still a decent read

text: I feel, like many things, GQ has declined over the 2 decades I have been a reader. However, it is still a decent read and fairly well written.<br />I began reading GQ because of its monthly Q & A article titled 'The Style Guy'. I enjoyed that and many other regular articles. I also enjoyed the style it represented. It has deviated in recent years from classy to a more ostentatious and radical look. I still enjoy the magazine, but have possibly outgrown it, i.e. gotten old.


I love this magazine because it's not all about recipes.  It provides a lot of infos about allergies thru interesting articles.  In the last magazine I received there was a page with a chart listing all the recipes in there with a classification with various allergies.  So you can just skim that page for what you need.  Mildly interesting - interview of famous singers, actresses with allergies or celiac disease.  Although there is something conforting in having these people share their solutions to those problems.  Pretty interesting:  There's a version of "Dear Abby" where people send in their complaints about everyday problems with people or logistics of how to deal with these allergies.  Articles about medical problems caused by celiac disease like migraines possibly.  Every issue has a different city to visit and how to navigate your allergies  there.  There's more.  Definitely worth it...I just renewed my subscription.


title: Advertisements galore

text: I did not buy this for the advertisements. But that is what it is mainly.  Too bad.


title: Fast delivery

text: I received my first issue pretty quickly. I wasn't sure how long it would take but couldn't  pass up such a great deal.


title: Took a few months for the first issue

text: I was getting ready to cancel when I finally received my first issue...three months later. I had read other reviews and was beginning to have my doubts. Of course it's an excellent magazine but I didn't know the first issue was going to take so long.


title: Haven't received it!

text: Ordered in May, 2007, it's July, 2007 and still haven't received any magazines! What's the deal?


title: good choice

text: very informative

user_id: AFEEIPRNBKGZNNIQUEIKAGPYXRTA


title: Exactly what I expected

text: I've been to Vermont several times and hope to retire there in the not too distant future.  When I saw the magazine, I immediately ordered it not only to keep me connected to a state I dearly love but to keep up with relevant happenings in the area.  I just received my first issue and was really pleased with it.  It had some really nice articles, amazing pictures and was everything I had expected.  I look forward to many more issues....for me, they represent the hope and dream that soon my husband and I can move somewhere where you can breathe deeply, slow down, appreciate how beautiful this country really can be and learn to be as self-sufficient as possible.  And if a magazine can make you feel that inspired, then it's a pretty good magazine.

text: Wasn’t crazy about the content In the magazine. Lots of ads. I cancelled my subscription


title: Quality Writing

text: This is my favorite car mag and I subscribe to more than I can count on one hand. What sets it apart is its writing style, with many a humorous analogy. It also has some off-the-wall features, much like the BBC's "Top Gear."


title: Four Stars

text: It’s one of my favorite cooking magazine!!!


title: Healthy Eating Recipes & Ideas

text: Lots of excellent recipes to try!


title: Excellent writing, good recipes

text: The articles in Saveur are informative, comprehensive, accurate, and well-written.  While some of the ingredients in the recipes are hard to find even in urban areas, the recipes are always consistent and authentic (at least I know them to be authentic for the regions with which I am familiar).  Highly recommended.


title: Never received even one issue

text: Good magazine...but terrible subscription service


It's an acceptable magazine. There are some good recipes, but a lot of ads. I really prefer All Recipes,it has a better format.


title: Five Stars

text: Awesome  mag


title: Five Stars

text: Great received  1st issue


title: Don't set up automatic renewals for magazines - no warning for renewals - hard to cancel

text: There is NO warning of an impending renewal - it you choose to stop it on the day your card is charged, amazon can't stop the subscription so you have to return a single issue and go through the return process to get it cancelled.  We'll see if that EVEN works....lots of time wasted trying to cancel it!  WILL NEVER NEVER DO THIS AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AGAIN for magazine through amazon.  Very hard to even find the subscription to cancel it - stumbled on it when trying to find the order to write this review.  Normal mechanize returns are a breeze but NOT MAGAZINES.


title: Grateful for this beautiful resource for Today's Catholic

text: I found this amazing resource for prayer about 4 years ago at the National Catholic Eduction Conference in Boston. I am a Catholic school educator and this has become an indispensable tool for me in my own faith life and in my ministry. This is brilliantly edited and the essays byt various authors contribute to an understanding of the depth and beauty of the Catholic faith lived out in community each and every blessed day. I have kept every montly edition of Give Us This Day because I have a fear that it will go away and then I will have to recycle. I can't imagine living my Catholic faith without this publication. I have glanced at some other similar resources and nothing comes close to Give Us This Day. I appreciate this resource because it reminds me of the true, universal, embracing vision of Catholicism. I recommend this resource to anyone who would like to nourish an authentic, deep, mature, inclusive and healing experience of Catholic prayer.


title: Wow

text: I read through one of these while at my local community college's library. It's basically just Marxist propaganda. Also, there were several typos that made it past the editing process. Sad!


title: Five Stars

text: Good magazine at a good price.


title: Terrific magazine - my 3 year old reads them over and over

text:
My 3.5 year old son LOVES this magazine.  He especially loves the puzzles, of which there are a few:

1.  Hidden pictures (favorite)
2.  What's silly - find all of the things in the picture that are "silly"
3.  Misc other puzzles.

The stories are ok, but very simple, so not his favorite thing to go through, but the puzzles more than make up for making them most of this magazine.

For the puzzles, we just use our finger to find things, and don't use a pen/pencil - this way, we can do them over (and over and over and over) again!

Great investment & he loves getting mail now :-)


title: Everything a music magazine should be

text: Literary and even-minded and yet completely gushy and fannish at the same time. The Wire does focus on jazz, but many other fringe, avant garde, and just plain great genres are also very well represented. If, like me, you feel it's increasingly difficult to stay knowledgable of musical innovators, The Wire is the perfect antidote. The Invisible Jukebox feature, in which a musician of note is made to guess the names of songs the editors play for him or her, is especially great (so great, in fact, that there's a whole book dedicated to collecting some of the best episodes of the feature so far.)


title: Still better than most women's mags

text: Still think that Marie Claire is a cut above most women's magazines.


title: Bird pictures are beautiful

text: I like the information about each bird featured


title: Five Stars

text: Great Mag.


title: Great Magazine For Computer Geeks (or aspiring ones)

text:
Maxmimum PC is the best print source to keep up with the latest in PC technology. Pithy, easy to read, and smart...it's your wisecracking know-it-all friend. Sure, he may get on your nerves a little and it sometimes too cute, but you sure want him around when you need to make a buying decision.

A fair bit of the emphasis is on games, which makes sense because that's where the bleeding edge of technology is. Even if you're only a sometime gamer, there's plenty here to keep you reading, though. Highly recommended.


title: Don't  let the Sun Set without reading this magazine!

text:
I'm a California author and culinary historian of "CALIFORNIA PIONEERS", their stories, culutre and cuisine. Naturally, with a credit like that, I read the California/West Coast edition of SUNSET magazine. Here's what I like about it:

1. Articles about California history and culture are always well researched...as a California historian, I am very particular about this aspect.

2. The travel stories and section are the best: they offer the touristy side aa well as the lesser-known aspects.

3. Excellent advice on gardening (flowers, fruit and vegetables) relative to the actual climate where people live.

4. Food/Recipes section often offers ideas and recipes for doing something new with common ingredients, especially seasonal ingredients.

There are other features that represent a variety of interests: Entertainment outings, conservation issues and just about any thing else making the news on the West Coast. It is a good all around lifestyle magazine.


title: MARVELOUS MARTHA

text:
I'm a culinary historian and author (CALIFORNIA PIONEERS, their stories, culture and cuisine)who spends a lot of time delving into the pages of history, especially food history. When I want to give my burned-out peepers a break, I reach for this magazine.

As much as I love the food articles -- mostly because, as great as they look, realistically they are quite do-able for just about anyone -- what I really find useful is the "Ask Martha" column in which practical answers are given to problems readers write in about.

And then there are the craft projects...I have tried several and was surprised by my success. I credit this to the well laid-out photos and very clear instructions.

My advice is, if you are looking for a magazine that touches on every aspect of living and enjoying a well-designed (and I do not mean "haughty") lifetsyle, then you cannot go wrong with Martha Stewart Living.

Also, the special holiday ideas are the best ever...makes one wonder, how do they keep coming up with such unique ideas that are do-able for the general population?[...]


title: Terrible delivery...

text: I still haven't received any issues of this magazine yet and I subscribed since august... of all the magazines I'm subscribed to this is the only one that always gives me problems. I subscribed last year directly through their website, paid $20 for a one-year subscription and I only received 2 issues so that's why I tried subscribing through amazon... but it's been even worse. The magazine itself is good but it isn't worth the hassle of subscribing since you end up paying 10 dlls per issue if you only get 2 in the whole year. They have terrible customer service (People SW) so don't bother emailing them, they'll never reply.


When I first saw this magazine I thought "HGTV has a magazine?! - I'm in!" What a great idea from such a successful tv network/channel YaY! Now I can have it at my fingertips on the coffee table wheneva! Sold.


title: Re-entering information

text: I had to re-enter information (address, credit card) though nothing had changed. It was a pain to have to do that. Normally the auto-renewals are simple and easy to do.  I know this was unusual for some reason.


title: Might still be okay if they ever send it!

text: Growing up, my parents always had this interesting little magazine in our home.  I ordered it 3 months ago, as a gift for my brother.  He's never received a single issue.  What gives Reader's Digest?  He'd still love to get the magazine.

title: Great magazine -- Horrible customer service website!!

text: Their customer service portal is a nightmare. Ranger Rick Jr. and Ranger Rick are two separate logins, so you can't easily upgrade as your child gets older. I have six grandchildren and all are subscribers. Some are on auto-renewal but they don't get renewed!! When I click "Add addresses" the site hangs and I give up after a few 5-minute tries. The payment wallet shows no credit cards, so when I add mine, the message is that you can't duplicate a card already in the wallet.  And worst of all, the email confirmation message I get when I gift a subscription DOES NOT MENTION WHICH CHILD IT WILL BE SENT TO!!!

I requested a sample direct from the publisher before signing up for a subscription.  I'm glad it did,  this is just a magazine of  VacationsToGo.com ads.

I can’t believe they would charge for propaganda for a single vendor.

The title of the magazine should be “Travel with VacationsToGo.com”, not Travel "50 & Beyond".

title: Deal with it

text: I love the New York Review. While I do not agree politically with many of the articles, that's a small price to pay for the overwhelming number of pieces written, as an earlier reviewer said, by experts who really care about what they're writing about. America needs to celebrate its public intellectuals and, if most of them don't like Bush (another reviewer's complaint), well, it's tough to be open minded and smart, like most of the writers in the Review, and also be a Bush supporter. I mean, this is the Bush administration, which has shown about as much respect for the truth as a cat for a wounded sparrow. Which is obviously antithetical to the mission of (most of) the Review writers: to really try to figure stuff out.


title: Happy Wife Happy Life

text: I bought this magazine in hopes of impressing my wife.  She doesn't realize it, but whenever I do something 'manly' like fixing the broken dryer she instantly gets in a better mood.  This magazine is WAY more effective than reading Maxim or some other men's magazine.  The real secret to a happy relationship can be found within these pages.

text: I ordered this for my junior high library, students and teachers love it - clean, well-written, and can't beat the price!


title: Great Magazine!

text: I bought this magazine for my husband as a little surprise gift.  He loves it!  He is always interested in new technology and how things work.  He is very pleased with it.  It arrived in a timely manner, too.


title: Great magazine!

text: I bought this for my husband and I ended up enjoying it just as much as he did. It has LOTS of great ideas for the home!


title: Great magazine with useful content

text: Excellent magazine with real content and not just useless advertisements.  This is the only magazine I truly look forward to get every month as there are always good articles often with great photography that inspires future hikes.


title: My friend is a serious Pioneer Woman fan

text: She loves Pioneer Woman and this subscription was part of her Birthday recurring gift.


title: A national treasure

text: National Fisherman is two of the best fishing publications combined into one. Thank you for offering it.


title: Grandson

text: Grandson is really into animals now so he really likes it.


title: Gourmet envies for the self-styled chef

text: Having read the magazine before, I knew I would enjoy it. So that is not part of the review.  The subscription began promptly after I paid for it, and its a great price. What more do you need to know?


title: Great value

text: Nice


title: Great photos of content people in their homes.

text: I'm an architect and love the houses, but mostly I find myself staring at the owners and their pets.  Smug, smiling, pretending to read books or pretending to work on laptops.  Pretending to garden.  I love it.  Have been a subscriber for at least 15 years.  Can't get enough!


title: Female Handyman

text: I have now read to issues cover to cover.  I love the paint tips.  I have been re-painting every room in my 1948 home in Rapid City.  My walls are dinged, dented and uneven, but with the paint tips, I get stunning results.  My husband likes the out door deck and front door remodeling articles.  Thank you


title: great everytime

text: it always has different project ideas, some simple and some advanced!<br />I have subscribed for 3 years ,love it!


title: Too liberal..too bad

text: Way to liberal to enjoy. Should stick with its purpose of exploring music


title: Five Stars

text: Great love


title: If you want 200 pages of advertisements, then sure.

text: Terrible. 80% ads, poor and outdated content.


title: Popular Science

text: The magazine is about the best on the market. The price is right and the quality of the magazine is top of the line. The best products that are about to be sold to the public are featured on Popular Science. I had been a subscriber for 18 years.


title: TV guide is what I expected & more

text: It is what I was expecting. I enjoy having the magazine on hand but then it's nice to have the kindle version so I have it with me where ever I am.


title: Is TV Guide worth a subscription

text: YES !! I like the fact that i can read ahead about my favorite shows and learn what is coming up in the future.  I rarely actually look at the tv guide as I have it on my tv.  I like it for the information which allows me to plan ahead and set my DVR for future shows.  I just recently renewed my subscription and will do so when that one expires.


title: too much random information

text: I got this magazine in order to see some great photos and read interesting stories that I couldn't get from the [...] site.  I'm sadly not impressed.  Each issue seems to be filled with lists: trails to try, new equipment to purchase, etc.  There's lots and lots of content but it's in a format that might be better suited for the internet. In fact, it seems like they're taking the [...] website and stuffing it into a glossy printed format.  I really like the website but I will not be renewing my subscription to the mag.  I guess I was hoping that this magazine would be a companion piece to the site, instead of the same old stuff.


title: Easy

text: It was perfect.  I was notified first, then informed it was renewed.  Easy.


title: I ordered this for my grandson.

text: I ordered this for my grandson. He is an aspiring writer and I know he will get a lot of helpful info from this magazine


title: Wired:  What's changed?

text: I bought this subscription on a whim, having read and enjoyed Wired a couple of years ago.  The first issue I received is sorely lacking in interesting writing and topics.


title: Five Stars

text: good recipes ideas


title: Best magazine for everybody

text: Easy ways of doing your own projects.


title: Five Stars

text: Interesting read each month.


title: fantastic, useful, never throw it out, magazine

text: This is a great magazine for anyone who loves to read.  It offers reviews of all genres whether you're looking for a serious read, a beach book or even if you're just not sure what to read next.  Clear, fair, useful reviews.  I keep all of my copies and when I'm looking for a new book, I just open one up and there you go!  Subscribe to it and/or offer it as a gift.


title: Gift for a friend...based on my experience

text: This magazine is great! It offers so much information that is useful for people who know a lot about children and for those that don't know much. I would recommend this for any new (or old) parent!!


title: Great gift for a tween girl

text: my niece loves this magazine.  I have been giving this to her for 2 years now, she is now 11.  I marked it down only because there seems to be waaaaay to many ads.  Otherwise, good advise and articles for someone who is not ready for the teen magazines.


title: Five Stars

text: I enjoyed reading the magazine.  There are some interesting recipes that I want to try.


title: e-editions of Saveur not included in paper subscription;  and e-editions are more expensive

text:
unlike 98% of other magazines,  e-editions of Saveur (eg. iPad, Zinio) are NOT INCLUDED in the paper subscription;

also, Saveur e-editions are more expensive than the paper subscription.


title: Works great!

text: Nice picture and easy to install.


title: Great table top magazine

text: I am not getting a yacht any time soon, but I do love the magazine which is well written and very pretty.


title: Love Joanna. Magazine not so much

text: I have only received 1 issue. I was not overly impressed with the magazine. Maybe when the next issue comes I can change my mind.  Love Joanna and her family though.


title: I wait for it to come every other month

text: I can hardly wait for my next copy to come.  I look forward to the magazine more than any other magazine I get and read every word in it.  I save them for years and go back to them as they have relevance years back when new books come out.  They give me pleasure with every read.  Even though I can read them on the computer I just love having them around the house so I can pick one up and see what was around months ago or years ago.  I'm a real fan.  I can't say enough.  I've given them as gifts to all of my friends that join audible.  I buy books I might not have noticed without reading about it in audiofile.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  What more can I say.  Keep them coming.


title: Vanity Fair

text: My favorite magazine.  I look forward to it and LOVE the articles.  Especially the ones that are highlighting a  book.


title: repetitive issues

text: I have received the same issue twice now. Hope I don't continue to get the same issue. Feels like the movie Groundhog Day.


title: Best Bicycle Mag...Ever

text: What first may appear as a pricey subscription, is well worth the dollars.  They ship this British magazine so well, it always shows up in perfect condition.  This publication covers everything about cycling; not just racing, but touring, commuting, equipment, accessories, technique and nutrition and health aspects of riding more comfortably and succesfully, no matter what your level of fitness currently is.  The hassles that the Brits deal with concerning traffic, local and national laws, and how the country and culture is resolving commuters taking their bikes on trains are also included each month.  It provides a fascinating look at European views and even includes detailed maps and route descriptions, should you ever hope to make it over there to ride.  Great publication!


title: Suscription Problems

text: So annoying when subscription is erratic.


title: Fun mag

text: EW makes me feel like I'm getting just enough celeb news without feeling like I'm reading a gossip rag.  It's nice to have tv and movie previews too.  Amazon's magazine subscription service is super convenient and easy to use.  Plus, I'm basically guaranteed to get the best price.


title: Good value for the money!

text: I got this for my wife and she loved it.


title: Perfect for Old Home Restoration

text: We purchased a 200+ year old farmhouse in 2020, and have been dutifully doing a restoration on it since. However, finding period appropriate pieces to add to our home has been hard. Picking appropriate paint, both interior and exterior, has been even harder. Enter Old Home Journal. This magazine has been a wealth of knowledge and has really shown us great techniques as well as wonderful places to order the perfect window treatments, etc for our home.


title: GOLF

text: It was for a gift and he really liked it


title: Five Stars

text: Great mag


title: and he's very happy with it

text: Was for hubby, and he's very happy with it.


I gave this magazine subscription as a birthday gift to my husband. He really likes it! Easy to read with step by step instructions to follow.


Just received the first issue, and extremely pleased with the assorted recipes. Most of the recipes had ingredients that I already had on hand, which is great for a person who loves to cook without the gourmet hoopla. Loved it, can't wait for the next issue!


title: Unsubscribed after reading the first issue. I want to ...

text: Unsubscribed after reading the first issue.  I want to read the news, not what someone tells me to think about the news.


title: Five Stars

text: Very pleased with this magazine.


title: The definitive US perodical

text:
I've been a subscriber for 5 years and the magazine has been a great assistance to my growth as a fly tier.
The magazine has published a long series by John Betts on the history and methodology behind the sport.  It has covered the "ultra realistic" school and (for me) every issue has at least 3-5 new flies or techniques (out of an average of 12-15 flies featured in each edition).
It is a quarterly and each of the four issues are much enjoyed by this reviewer.


title: Five Stars

text: Always buy at a great deal


wife loves it. dessert she baked from it is my good Karma for buying her this.


title: out of this world magazine

text: Ah ! to be able to understand every word one would have to have 4 or 5 PHD's in astronomy and all the other sciences, still a great magazine for any one interested in what's going on "outside" of earth.


title: Lovely as always.

text: Gotta love Veranda


title: What did I sign up for?

text: If I could give a negative rating I would. I'm not sure what I signed up for.  It was advertised at $5/year with auto renewal which I am very leery of. Before signing up I had a lengthy chat conversation with customer service who told me they turned off auto renewal.  I repeatedly said I'm signing up for one year at $5 with no auto renewal?  They told me yes and to place the order.  Once I did they said it was $5/MONTH - NOT PER YEAR  and had auto renewal. What???? I immediately tried to cancel and they said it could not be done until the order had been fulfilled. Fulfilled? It takes weeks!!  I chatted with one supervisor who was not helpful.  Asked for another who was even less helpful!!!  This is not the customer service I am used to at Amazon.  They are usually amazing!!! The order still looks like $5/year.  That is what I have paid.  So disappointed.  Remains to be seen what I actually signed up for.  Amazon - suggest you figure out this magazine subscription add on. So totally NOT the Amazon I am used to.  Will NEVER EVER again fall for the "false advertising" of your magazine subscriptions.  Lesson learned that if it looks to be too good to be true it is.  SHAME on you!!!!!

Look forward to receiving this mag. every month....Love it...
Been a subscriber for very many years.  Love the content.
Yea!


title: A great resource for the initiate.

text: This magazine is a truly good resource for those who are early in their foray into video. And their email and online resources offer a little extra information and training in various areas of video making.


title: Great magazine! A big part of golf culture for ...

text: Great magazine!  A big part of golf culture for all us golf aficionados and weekend warriors. Lots of practical swing tips and coarse management ideas.


title: The real "fake news"

text: Probably not the best idea to get your news from somewhere that just tells you only what you want to hear.


title: Magazine

text: Good read


title: SLOW. slow slow

text: It is taking three months to get the first magazine of the subscription and now I missed out on the boats of 2015 issue.


title: SCIENCE!!

text: Love my popular science!


title: Do not use this distributor for magazines

text: The magazine is very good. Only received one magazine the whole year. Came in month 10. Forgot I even bought the subscription. Then they try to do automatic renewal. The distributor. 360 something is a scam.


title: Great pictures and information

text: I like to read this magazine! A lot of interesting information about France


title: Magazine for travelers and cooks

text: Love the regional travel tips and recipes. Sunset gives me new ideas in every issue.


title: Excellent Marine Aquarium Magazine

text:
This magazine is excellent.  It is originally published in German (the author, Daniel Knop, is German), but then translated into, among several languages, English. The articles are very interesting information - each issue is dedicated to a different topic that you can read to the level you want; anyone from a beginner aquarist to one who has been in the hobby for many years will find useful information.

The entire magazine is a high-quality color print, no cheap pages. It is published every 2 months, and it usually takes me that long to truly digest all of the information. Other topics also include sections dedicated to the beginner aquarist, and general articles of interest to anyone interested in the marine environment and new discoveries.

Yes, there are online reef magazines, but this complements them and does not duplicate them - so get it if you are in the hobby!

Truly worth the money; an absolutely excellent quality product!


title: Love Love AD

text: I have always enjoyed architectural digest seeing homes all around the world being decorated so beautifully.  Some rooms are afordable and others are not.


title: World Travels

text: Not what I expected as I'm a world traveler I thought it would focus on more commonly traveled journeys throught


title: Family Handyman

text: The administration section of Family Handyman always offers me about 3-4 prices for their magazine year after year.  They'll con you into buying a self help book thinking you are buying a subscription to their magazine.  The magazine has fantastic information and I buy it from Amazon because it is a no-nonsense purchase,  NO SURPRISEs.


title: Can't go wrong!

text: This is the perfect yearly Christmas gift for the Corvette fan! He never gets tired of paging through this magazine, Each issue has something new that interests him!


title: Just ok

text: Not spellbinding like the old days of this magazine.<br />won't renew


title: A MUST for any Arizonan!

text: I look forward to every issue not only for the fantastic photographs but the articles are so well written and informative.


title: Love this magazine!

text: I like seeing the beautiful homes and landscapes and keeping up with upcoming events in AZ.


title: Nice gift

text: It was a gift to my daughter


title: magazine

text: grandkids love


title: I like it much more than the Kids

text: I like it much more than the Kids (6&9) do, which is unfortunate given who the subscription is for, but content is great 👍 so I won’t  ding a star for that.. maybe they  will eventually read an occasional article.


title: Must read if you go to County fairs

text: The format is an 11x17 newspaper. And if you want to get into showing poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, ect.) this is an excellent paper. It is very informative, up-to-date, and readily accepts written work from those 'out in the field'. Lots of B&W pictures of champion poultry to compare against your own. Great listings of swap meets, and listings of judges. I have had very good results in improving my flock through the want ad's and articles. It is easy to get in contact with the owners if you have any questions.


title: Fantastic magazine! Not the best customer service.

text:
This is absolutely my favorite magazine, and if this review only had one factor (the actual magazine's quality), it would get 5 stars, no question!
Unfortunately, the delivery is erratic at best. I've been getting about half of the issues... About one every other week. There is a "send me the missed issues" feature on the customer service section of the website, but it's ridiculous to have to do that for every missed issue. There is no consistent day of the week when the issue comes, and it's almost more convenient to go to the grocery store to buy! Unfortunately, buying magazines individually is more expensive.

So yeah, the customer service sucks but the magazine is great. I still have a subscription, that says something.


title: Can't get a magazine delivered if my life depended on it......

text: I have contacted the magazine folks a couple of times already. I am highly disappointed in this subscription. Since I have ordered this magazine in September 2015 and the first issue was delivered in December 2015 (which is already quite some time in between), we have received a TOTAL of 3 (three) magazines. This is supposed to be a bi-weekly magazine and we should have received at least 7 magazines by now (29 February) if the bi-weekly holds true. My subscription expires in November 2016 and at this rate of delivery I don't see how we will receive 26 magazines total. The title of Hip Hop "WEEKLY" is already misleading, since it's a "BI"-weekly subscription! This is highly disappointing and truly aggravating and I would expect much better from such a well known magazine. Also, I changed my address (as soon as I knew my new one) and I got an automated message it would take 4-6 weeks to take affect. Can this be for real? This is the computer age and all it takes is to push a couple of buttons. I guess I shouldn't worry about it since I can't even get the magazines sent to the original address either...... Horrible customer service all around!


title: They enjoy the large print and the comfort and familiarity of ...

text: I bought this for my elderly mother who has Alzheimer's. Unfortunately, she has stopped reading, so I have donated the subscription to the rest of the assisted living residents. They enjoy the large print and the comfort and familiarity of the Reader's Digest that they have read in previous years. I will probably renew just to share with them.


title: simply knitting is simply amazing

text: ibought a subscription to this publication several years ago at $120 for the year and mainly for the alan dart patterns in each issue .it was worth it to me just for them. but the other patterns were lovely .it was a sad day when the last issue arrived i can no longer afford  the extremely high cost of this magazine. but if you have a stray stash of money laying around and you love to knit. if you are disappointed with the quality and choice of american pattern and designs, take a chance on this wonderful collection of patterns and advise .


title: Great Magazine

text: I have been using National Geographic Kids with my 3rd grade students for about a year now.  We always find something very cool and interesting in each issue.  I am thrilled to find something that gets them excited and has them reading.


title: Amazing job!

text: Heck of an auto renewal!  My head is still spinning.  I was pleasantly surprised and very very very happy.  Yahoo!


title: As advertised.

text: As advertised.


title: Slick Mag!

text: I subscribe to all the major tuner magazines, but the only one I look forward to receiving in my mailbox each month is Modified. The content is hard core, photos are excellent, and the overall layout and design of the magazine is by far the best of the group. These guys seem to really live and breath the sport compact performance scene - they have an edge the others don't - I will likely only renew this mag and let the others lapse.


title: Five Stars

text: The best source for health!


title: Great value

text: the subscription is on fleek


title: Five Stars

text: Wonderful magazine, packed with beautiful photographs.


title: No other cookbooks required!!

text: This cookbook along with the 30 minute cookbook has replaced all my other cookbooks with the rare exception of a Tyler Florence recipe here and there.  Love it.  Just to know that they have extensively tested these recipes and worked them out scientifically is so reassuring.  You know before even starting that they are not going to  be a waste of time and money like so many recipes I've tried along the way.  Thanks.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it!


title: What's with all the Ads?

text: Just got my "sample". I proudly gave it to  my husband and said, "Look, a magazine without ads!" Wow, what a mistake. What happened to the "old" magazine that had NO ADS? This one is so jammed packed with ads, it is a plain waste of money to subscribe. Will never subscribe again!


title: Good Info

text: All the information is good.


title: Five Stars

text: Best price!! Great Mag


title: Great magazine, wife loves it. Slight shipping problems.

text: Great magazine, thick and looks well made with good materials. Wife likes it and thats what counts. Slight shipping problems as it got "lost" according to Amazon but they corrected it and send out a new one. Not sure if it was Amazon's fault or the USPS, i'm leaning towards the USPS though.

text: it is a gift


title: Five Stars

text: my wife loves it


title: Great personal resource

text: This is the tool that grows my faith on a regular basis.  It's a go-to for finding scriptures that follow the Liturgical cycle, and there are always meaningful reflections by top notch scholars and spiritual directors to help enhance my prayer time.  Bonus: there are 1 page stories of saints at various parts of the magazine to learn about and be inspired by.


title: Enjoy the magazine

text: Even though I look forward to the magazine, it never comes out on time. I'll get 2 different ones sometimes and other time don't get any<br />Also there is So much advertising in it, it takes up almost half of it. Many spelling errors in copy itself


title: Mainly for fiction writers only

text: So far, I find that the Writer's Digest includes instructional articles for fiction writers, not information on the various aspects of non-fiction writing and publishing.  As a nonfiction writer, I am extremely disappointed.


title: Nice gift

text: Great price,and a great gift!


title: Yes and my Ballerina granddaughter is enjoying it tremendously. ...

text: Yes and my Ballerina granddaughter is enjoying it tremendously. Only problem is that somehow I am receiving 2 copies------one at my address and one to my granddaughter's. Somehow the address change never went through and I ended up paying for two copies of the same magazine.


title: Three Stars

text: Way too many ads.


title: I love this magazine

text: I love this magazine! I'm going to keep every one I get.  Full of beautiful photographs and great articles.


title: Boring Boring Boring!

text: No class or sophistication, layout stinks - too overloaded and cheap. Don't know why I ordered this magazine since I have stopped watching HGTV - repetitive, clumsy, no watcher interest, creativity gone amok! Need a new team who appreciate the enhanced capability, imagination, and talents of the now audiences.  Insult to these new watchers and readers.


title: A fun magazine for collectors

title: Awesome

text:
Just got my first copy this morning.
Haven't looked at it yet.
but I'm always happy with items that have
the FOOD NETWORK symbol on them.


title: Like Spin, only cooler and more British

text:
This one's a good one from good ol' UK. Let me explain the perks:
1. You get a perspective on music that isn't totally Americanized; that is, mainstream boy bands and Creed clones aren't cluttering up the pages.
2. If you like Britpop, then naturally you would choose a magazine closer to their turf for better reviews.
3. The British aren't so conservative with their magazines, thus the pages of this magazine can be especially juicy.


title: Magazine Only

text: Subscription doesn't include annual review or access to the CU database of previous reviews.


title: Very slow in delivery

text: Very slow to arrive and sometimes got multiple issues definitely wouldn't buy again


title: Didn't get what I paid for

text: Amazon had a special of 5.00 for a one year subscription.  I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and on the six month he received a renewal notice for any future issues even though I paid for a full year.  He hasn't received any future issues.  I guess they think it won't be questioned because it was a gift to someone else.  I will not be buying this magazine again.  Ripping people off is not my idea of a smart money choice.


title: One Star

text: More advertisement than actual journalism<br />Wasn't what I expected and definitely won't be renewing


The magazine is thin more like a pamphlet. Like a pamphlet it has a ton of advertisements in it. I don't bother reading it anymore.


title: Three Stars

text: ok


title: Just try to cancel.

text: Auto-renewal is a trick.. Just try to cancel.


title: comes to my home, won't miss an issue

title: Magazine one big advertisement for cigarettes

text: I am shocked by the number of cigarette ads in the magazine. This prevents me from enjoying it and it also does not allow me to give it to my children or others to enjoy.


title: Five Stars

text: Kids look forward to each magazine.  We sit together and read it.


title: Magazine

text: I bought this for the coupons and didn't meet my expectations.  Wasn't a bad magazine to read, just didn't have enough coupons that interested me.  That and the coupons expire too soon.


title: great birthday gift

text: My husband loves this magazine.  I renewed his subscription for his birthday again this year.  Will continue to renew unless magazine format or information changes


title: Great magazine full of stories, information and the personal life of the Gaines family.  Must have for Fixer Upper fans!

text: Great magazine full of inspirational stories and information.  You can tell this magazine was formed out of love for people and there are stories from Joanna and Chip in each issue that totally make it more personal.  I hope they keep that with future issues because it is what sets them apart.  Love it and would recommend it to anyone!

title: One Star

text: very liberal, does not hold tradition in a high regard. Jesus is NOT female!!!!


title: no recipes

text: I subscribed to the magazine thinking there would be recipes but didn't find them. A friend gave me her magazines for years and I found the recipes were wonderful! Now that I have subscribed there are no recipes, very disappointing. I wish the editors would publish a Reminisce Cookbook, that would be wonderful!


title: Don't know about the magazine

text: Ordered during late December as a Christmas gift and have not received any printed issues as of Jan. 30, 2013.  Won't order magazines through Amazon anymore.  This approach hasn't worked out very well.  The recipient doesn't use the the internet (yes, there are still people who don't) and doesn't have a Kindle, so I don't know whether that mode of accsss works.


title: Husband's favorite!

text: Perfect gift for my husband for Christmas! He loves the contents, passes them on to our sons to read. His old subscription ended, wasn't long before he started complaining about it being gone.

text: just too much of martha stewart here.  i know it's her magazine but, still, i can do without all those photos of her and her opinions.  will not be renewing this mag.


title: Enjoyable

text: This magazine has nice ideas and is enjoyable to read.  I do not have ten more words to describe this magazine.


title: Disappointing

text: This is not the Sports Illustrated subscription we remember. Issues are very thin and cover nothing but basketball. Bought this for my son for Christmas, and it’s disappointing.


title: Warning! Always a month delay!

text:
I got a 1 year subscription through Amazon with a great half price discount.
The magazine is good.
However, I always get the magazine a month after it has been released on the street.
May be, this is why I got it cheap.
Anyway, people need to aware they may possible to get it late (a month later).


title: One Magazine I REALLY read!

text: Good articles. great recipes, good advice.  I trust GH. It will always be on my subscription list. Have unsubscribed to many other of my magazines, but I'll always have GH.


title: Birthday gift

text: My 5 year old grandson adores this magazine. Getting his own mail is such a treat.<br />He loves the puzzles etc.


title: Always Excellent

text: How could one not love the excellent stories and photography?  I've ordered it for years and will continue to do so.


title: Found it pretty tawdry.

text: Got refund for rest of subscription.  Found it pretty tawdry.


title: Dead

text: The Boston bomber issue was the last straw for me. They think they're on the cutting edge and cool. Reality is they lack musical taste and most of their articles are about politics and NOT music. The cover only TRIES to make this horrible terrorist a star. PLEASE boycott this magazine AMAZON!


title: Five Stars

text: Full of great info.


This magazine has beautiful photography and tantalizing Recipe names, but nothing I have cooked from it tastes very good.  It's all edible, just nothing is ever special.  I am a very good and experienced cook, I know the problem isn't me.  I would not recommend subscribing to Eating Well.


title: A must for the mid-century modern aficionado

text: I originally found back issues of this magazine at a local antique store that specializes in mid-century modern décor. I was thrilled to discover that it was still in production. I absolutely love this magazine!


title: Good Read

text: This magazine has many interesting articles, not only about different food groups, but also about items pertaining to fixing those foods.  You will also find loads of new recipes to try.  The tittle says it all.  This magazine is about eating well which means not only choosing the right foods but fixing them properly.

text: A lot cheeper than the renew subscription price.


title: informative

text: Just got first issue, and find it very informative.


title: Prevention has ditched credible health journalism for marketing hype.

text:
This magazine is all marketing. There is little real journalism taking place anymore. The last straw for me was the current issue with a lengthy feature on "resistant starch".

Their cover headlines gush "28 carbs that Melt Fat!" "Eat for a Flat Belly." You have to read the fine print, tucked between splashy page after page of photos of plates heaped with pasta, baked potatoes and muffins to find the sentence where they confess "It's true. Most human studies on RS have lasted only a few weeks, not the several years researchers prefer". EXACTLY.  Yet Prevention gives it top billing.

This is not proven science at all yet, but more likely desperate research funded by the grain industry and processed food manufacturers terrified of all the people going gluten free, Paleo, Vegan etc.

The article reads like something straight from a PR agent " Think of this as your long awaited license to stop eyeing starchy foods as fattening demons and start eating them again. Welcome back, carbs. We missed you like crazy"

You can still find some genuine journalism and useful advice and recipes inside. This issue also had a blurb on fish fraud, i.e. the false labeling of "wild" salmon, and a great series promoting a program to get people walking. But you have to weed through a lot of advertising and sketchy reporting before getting to the good stuff.  When Prevention's editors showing such a lack of judgment it's hard to know what can be trusted as good or believable anymore in the magazine.

text: I'm disappointed they only list evening hours . . .


title: Very good food magazine compared to some

text: I really enjoy this magazine, it teaches me about foods that I have no clue what to do with. A lot of the recipes in it are costly unfortunately but I really enjoy reading it just the same. Have learned a lot of skills About flavor profiles from it.


title: But love the magazine

text: Just disappointing that I see the magazines in the store before it arrives at my home! But love the magazine.

title: Five Stars

text: Always cutting edge on human & wildlife study & interpretation! NG sets the standard


I can't believe how small Sports Illustrated seems compared to its former self.....The devaluation of the printed page that newspapers have gone through, sine the internet arrived is fully mirrored here. Id this was a star up publication and didn't have the advantage of its storied legacy, it wouldn't even be noticed. Granted on occasion there is an excellent article and there is some fine writing, but very often I thumb through it in one sitting, while on the john and find nothing - I can't see this lasting much longer. I have already canceled my local newspaper and certainly won't be renewing this all too thin "pamphlet" of sports information.

text: Love it make it cheaper


title: Lovely seasonally inspired magazine

text: Fun magazine. Enjoy having a real copy on hand versus the electronic version. Bigger photos to view and more shareable with others etc.

title: Love the great deal Amazon offers

text: One of my favorites! Love the great deal Amazon offers!


title: Works good

text: Nice to use the auto-renewal in most cases.  Only problem is when you don't want to renew but then forget about it.  But otherwise, i like it.


title: Great magazine

text: I love Womens Day!  It is a well rounded variety of topics that I enjoy reading about.  Took a few years break from it and really missed it.


title: Best D Y I magazine

text: Guys this is the greatest magazine ever I’m a do it yourself her and I tell you what this is a great magazine I strongly suggest to buy it.


title: ROLLING STONE DIED IN 1970

text: Rolling Stone is garbage for readers who don’t know better.  They sold their counter-culture souls in the early 70s and became coke whores and industry shills.  The worst feature of all is the ‘album reviews.’  They have given so many poor reviews to albums and performers over the years which now they proclaim as “the greatest” in their “Greatest 100...of all time” series.  They don’t know. They don’t care. They just want your money.


title: Great recipes, TOO MANY ADDS

text: My first issue, and I’m somewhat disappointed and I’m not past page 6 and already 3 full page adds. What content is there better knock out socks off. Otherwise we will not renew. I thought this would be a down home magazine, not a pharmaceutical research paper.


title: Good Housekeeping Magazine

text: Great magazine, lots of ideas and comments about everyday matters.  The recipes are simple which is a help for non original cooks like me.


title: For the love of god…

text:
We LOVE the content of this magazine! Fun, funny, fascinating! Laid out in good sized digestible for kids bits.
What we don’t love: the pages of the magazine itself literally fall apart. It’s like the staples aren’t strong enough to keep it all together.
We are not particularly rough with them. But every single one comes apart into random sections which are then sometimes hard to piece back together.
Please hear me National Geographic! Please improve the structural integrity of this magazine!!


title: Perfect Mother's Day present

text: Ordered the subscription last year for a Mother's Day present and was very happy to 'renew' this year as another Mother's Day present- can't get any easier than that!


title: Great way to stay informed .

title: Waste of money

title: More adds

title: great weekend read for fun and some very insightful articles...

text: You don't have to be a New Yorker to enjoy this...although I am quite envious of the plays and restaurants available there.


title: Nephew loves it - great birthday present!

text: My 4 year old nephew loves to get monthly mail with his name on it, so this made for a great birthday present! Just make sure to order well in advance because it does take a bit of time for that first issue to come through.


title: Sad Day

text: Too bad it's going away. Sad day


title: Five Stars

text: Best mx/sx magazine out there.


title: Print version has no industry information like the older version. Not worth subscribing if you are in the industry.

text: Years ago, the Hollywood Reporter print subscription had everything any pro or aspiring pro in the movie business needed to know. The current print version is more for movie fans than the industry trade it used to be. You must subscribe to the digital online version to get the industry information instead of the print version now.


title: going downhill; now slicker magazine look with young poetry editors, etc., dulling content

text: Readers will change as this new format continues with a more commercial slant than it used to be. Sorry to see this once-exceptional publication slack off and turn more mundane to reach more readers. Dull cliched poems now when once more daring verse was presented. Dissapointing to me especially because I think poetry should be engaged with political and social issues instead of bathtubs or blue eyes, etc. There is so much going on in the world that needs coverage and introspection, and, sadly, Boston Review does not deliver it any more.


title: Great Magazine - Terrible Company for Amazon to be associated with

text: Let me start by saying the magazine is great.  I tend to order most of my online purchases through Amazon, because I have had very could results, this one however I would have been much better off to have gone through HIGHLIGHTS themselves at [...].  I ordered two magazines, Highlights for children (ages 6-12) and Highlights High Five at the same time - on September 13, 2009.  The High Five magazine came as expected in beginning of November.  The Highlights for Children did not.  I waited and waited (not wanting to give one child something and not the other).  In Mid November I called Highlights directly.  They said they had never received the order for this magazine.  Then I called Amazon. They gave me the Number for Magazine Express whom they sell this through.  I called them.  The customer service rep was very rude and proceeded to tell me it would be another few weeks for the magazine to be sent - that it could take up to 10 weeks.  When asked why Highlights said they had never received the order, they said that it was actually going to be sent in bulk to them, then they would distribute.  I then called Highlights again.  They said that wasn't the case, all magazines are sent from them.  They had received the order for the High Five, and that is why it had been shipped and received already. I then had to send proof via fax that I had paid for both substriptions and when the order had been placed.  I did so, then called Amazon back, for I really didn't want to speak with the rude rep at Magazine Express again.  Amazon contacted them, and they informed them of the same lies they had told me. I finally received the first issue on December 5,2009 (almost 3 months after the order and 2 issues of High Five later).  Amazon service was great (though they are taken in by the lies of this company) and Highlights Magazine was very helpful - They responed to me in a very professional and considerate manner, and I do recommend the magazine, just not through this terrible company that Amazon goes through.


title: What is not to LOVE about NatGeo?

text: Get this every year for my grandchildren. They pass it on to me. We LOVE the info it contains and look forward to its arrival each month.


title: One magazine I continue to subscribe to

text: I purchased this magazine subscription last year when I was looking for resources to support my healthy lifestyle change.  I have received a full year of the magazine so far, and have been impressed with every single issue.  I love that it showcases healthy foods and how to prepare them, and I have found their advice on other matters to be accurate and usable.  Finally, I have made a permanent space on my bookshelf for these gems.  They are so useful that I find myself referencing them later.  If you are looking for interesting, informative, accurate articles that support a healthy lifestyle, you can't go wrong with this magazine.

title: Great magazine for learning new techniques & ingredients

text: My husband is the chef of the family - I got this as a gift for him because we had seen Milk Street TV at some point when we were staying in a hotel and my husband was transfixed by it.  He loves the magazine even  more than the show, and I read it almost every month myself, even though I don't do much of our cooking, because it's really interesting and informative.  I like how they teach about different cultures and ingredients & make them more approachable for those who haven't experienced them yet.


title: Good but priced to high

title: Seems to be slanted lately.

text: Too many articles on previous first lady.  Where are the articles about the current first lady?  Also, why do we have to turn the magazine upside down half way through?  I really don't like that.

title: Constantly called my minor son for renewal

text: I bought this magazine for my son as a Christmas present.  Once his subscription expired they called us multiple times, all hours of the day asking for my 8 year old son. Finally, I answered the phone, politely explained that my son was a minor and we were not interested in renewal and to please remove us from their call list.  The customer service agent said "wow" and hung up on me. Although I loved the magazine for my son, I wouldn't renew now because I would not want to deal with this type of customer service.


title: Good read

text: Love reading. Such an inspiration


title: Great gift

text: We have been gifting this subscription to our uncle for the last six years. One year we forgot to renew it and he definitely missed getting it. He is difficult to buy for, but this fit the bill. He is a reader, very intelligent and a hunter. Glad to have found this for him and thrilled he enjoys it.


title: Worse, it can sometimes be hard to tell the ...

text: I'd rather pay more for quality than get a cheaper magazine filled with ads. Worse, it can sometimes be hard to tell the difference between ads and the actual content, especially for kids. This product's rating is inflated by older ratings from a time when the magazine was of much higher quality. I couldn't find a 5-star review newer than 2011 (but no, I didn't look through them all). Most of the ratings since then have been dismal, as is this one. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.


title: Popular Mechanics review

Great magazine! Keep up the amazing work! So wonderful see how educated people are becoming about their health and their lives! Wonderful to see Food Babe on your cover! People may not agree with everything she says but that is to be expected. Movers & shakers make wonderful things happen in the world....and also have a lot of haters in the process!

title: Zoobooks

text: My 6 year old son loved this magazine. His eyes would light up whenever the magazine would arrive in the mail. The colorful photographs and fun facts about lots of types of animals made the magazine fun to read for both he and I.


title: Cruising Out post

text: Arrived on time.  Love this magazine always read from cover to cover.


title: Saved Money

text: It was easy to renew my Good Housekeeping and the cost was a lot less going through Amazon. I didn't  realize I was able to do this.  Thank You


title: Focuses on exactly what I want to know

text: When I want commentary or stories, I'll turn to other magazines.  But Lucky focuses on exactly what I need - what's hot, what's in style, how to pair different pieces together for either work or going out, and what accessories to wear with what.  When you don't work in a big city, you can get a little out of touch with style, and this magazines shows you how to keep in style for a budget.  Excellent.

text: Very informative magazine.  Many articles, very helpful info.  Nice to have.  Ads for useful products, like the Exotec key system.


title: Always find articles of interest to me

text: First for Women is a quick read, great recipes and useful information in each issue. I always feel as though I got my money's worth and then some.


title: Love the Digital Access!

text:
I ordered the all access Vogue issues at the end of August.  I am loving Vogue on my kindle fire! I love the extra features and the convenience of having the magazine on my tablet.
When I ordered the issues I only received access to the August and September issues immediately.  I received the October issue electronically a few weeks ago - I read one of the reviews stating that they got 6 months of issues from the past - I'm not sure what they are talking about.  The app that you go into to get the Vogue issues has past issues available, but you have to pay for them, since they are not part of your 6 month subscription (meaning you don't get past issues).
Overall I would highly recommend getting the All Access Digital issues - well worth it!!


title: Good magazine -- for it's intended audience.

text: Professional Photographer is a solid, useful magazine for its intended audience -- established professional portrait/wedding photographers, who already know their craft. If you are looking for basic (or exotic) techniques, try something else, like Photo Techniques. If you are interested in the current state of the *industry*, and ways to improve your business, as well as get some good ideas for new directions and techniques to try, read PP.


title: English Home Magazine

text: I am so enjoying English Home Magazine, well written articles and food section. Being a Brit living in America, its wonderful to travel back through the pages. To follow someone re buidling a cottage to make it theirs. Reading what its like to be a caretaker of a castle and actually living in it.<br />I am reading it from Page to page and enjoying all the wonderful photos.

title: Gun Digest

text: I subscribe to this magazine for my husband.  As a gun enthusiast, he reads each issue cover to cover as it provides reliable information for many types of firearms.


title: Best Home Decor Magazine EVER

text: I subscribe to a few home design/decor magazines, but this is the one look forward to most! Great decor ideas, great reasonably priced items to buy (my green velvet dining chairs were featured in an issue last year), great paint color ideas, etc. Just love. HGTV is killing it.


title: Awesome magazine / great value

text: Awesome magazine.  Finally a magazine with some well balanced stories and designs.  And not a lot of advertisements.  I get so tired of spending a lot of money on a magazine, only to open it up and see nothing but page after page of ads.  Lovely photos and descriptions.  Worth the money.


title: Disappointed

text: I have received 3 of the magazines so far, and I have been pretty disappointed. But maybe that's just me.  I am a potter that does a lot of hand-building, and this book usually has only 1 pottery idea, and it has been nothing spectactular or very original so far. Has ideas for ceramic artists, about painting their greenware, but even some of that seems tacky.  I was hoping for some fun, new creative ideas, but so far have not seen that. Lots of advertising.


title: He really enjoyed the articles

text: Sent it to my son. He really enjoyed the articles. Still waiting for another one to arrive.


title: Great magazine!

Truly helpful articles, really good recipes - with a shopping list, healthy living, and positive viewpoints.  I always feel inspired after reading First For Women.

text: I ordered the subscription and it has been 9 months...I have received one issue..one....you don't order the magazine from the publisher...through a second company...one issue and that was three or four months after I paid....trying to get my money back...  do not waste your time nor your money trying to by Food and Travel or Delicious...


title: Mostly Ads

text: I like the few (VERY few) articles in this magazine, but like most magazines today, you buy a periodical of ads with a few pages of columns/recipes, etc. Is it any wonder in this digital age? One exception: Readers Digest, the only magazine I subscribe to. At most, $7.00 for 10 issues an easily found for $5.00 or $6.00.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine. Short stories are always good. I love the joke articles.


title: Didn't receive it.

text: I would like to tell you all about this magazine, but I have yet to receive a copy.  Maybe later.


title: for crossword mavens

text: This is for anyone who likes a crossword challenge. I have subscribed for over ten years.


title: My thoughts on SELF

text: I have subscribed to Self before, and it is a great magazine. The subscriptions are pretty cheap, so it's worth it. Some of the articles tend to be about the same things: losing weight, new beauty tips. they repeat over and over. if you are to buy ONE issue of self, get the October issue because the articles that they have on breast cancer awareness are always really touching.


My daughter loves them!


While I was happy to be able to purchase this magazine.  The FALSE advertisement of receiving a Free Gym Bag was ridiculous!  They should not state that one will receive the bag to make the offer look good.


title: Four Stars

text: Very helpful & easy to read, but I wish they would print the day time shows.


title: Mystery Magazine

text: Opportunities for graduates? Graduate school openings? What the hell is the magazine about? You'd think the publishers would care enough to tell us SOMETHING.


title: Automatic renewal, great

text: Renews each year, wife happy, I'm happy


title: My favorite magazine

text: I have been subscribing to Good Housekeeping for years, and I enjoy the magazine.  My rating reflects the renewal process rather than the magazine.  I had gotten a renewal reminder from Amazon that my subscription was nearing expiration.  I renewed, making sure to list the name and address exactly as it is on my current label.  Yet instead of renewing my current magazine, instead, I have been receiving two copies of the magazine, and the renewal for the 2 year subscription is two years from when I purchased the renewal, not two years from when my current subscription expires.  I sent an e-mail about this, but nothing happened.


title: Great Magazine

text: I really enjoy this magazine.  I didn't have any of the service problems that the previous reviewed had.  I ordered mine through Amazon and I get the free CD with every copy.


title: Grandson's love it

text: Bought it for my grandson's and they enjoy reading it.


title: Journey back in time

text: Love having this magazine delivered to my home. My sister-in-law gave me a stack of older copies last fall. My husband said " get a subscription started" . We have read our first copy from cover to cover. It brought back memories of times past. Loving it.


title: Poor choices

text: The second they made one of the Boston bomb terrorists a glamor cover shot, I was done and canceled my subscription. Write all the articles you want, but don't make it look as if he's a rock star. Put the victims or first responders and volunteer workers who saved lives on the cover. They are the rock stars.


title: Wonderful Magazine

text: This is a beautiful magazine! And very informative!!


title: Reminisce  what happened to a good magazine

text: I was given copies of this magazine dating back some as old as fifteen years ago.The extra magazine were in this group. The magazine was so good ordered it paid $30 for one year and extra for second year.If you paid cheaper price another magazine  could be substituted at any time. They also would renew it automatically. So far since Jan.have two issues now July .<br />Magazine  not the same waste of money lot of features gone. Extra magazine almost $5 extra a piece. Want you to buy books extra .  A wonderful magazine  no longer . Don’t waste your money most expensive magazine ever bought and the worse.


title: Ugggg Taxidermy!

text: I was disgusted to find, in the October issue, a 4 page article on Martha's collection of stuffed animals. Can't understand why, or how, she could talk about all the wildlife she attracts to her yard on one hand, and have the nerve to show a bear, mountain lion, birds and several other animals obviously murdered for the sake of this sick hobby! She even offers a reprinted book called Home Taxidermy for Pleasure and Profit! Unbelievable! I have canceled my subscription and will not buy another of her products.


title: A forum for conspiracy theorists?

text:
People wonder why print media is going the way of the buffalo, and this magazine is the perfect example of why. No one is perfect, and people can make mistakes. Vani Hari, the queen of pseudo-science, has made some outrageous claims in her career. Some seemingly confusing (did she really think Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Lattes really contained chunks of real pumpkin?) to the downright vicious (sending her "army" of minions to bully companies she takes some issues with). It doesn't take much to realize the queen of "discovering" what is in our food is nothing more than a shill herself--anxiously awaiting checks from these companies to either back off or to hire her as a consultant. A shill in the truest sense of the word, that's what she accuses her critics of (although you wouldn't know that, seeing that she has sanitized her Facebook page in such a way that any dissent results in an automatic ban). The irony would be comical, if not for the fact that she seems to get some publicity.

Readers are allowed to fight back and to voice their concerns over the choices a magazine makes when they put someone on the cover. With the onslaught of Orthorexia coming to light, it's no surprise that there was some concern with having Vani Hari on the cover. If this magazine supposedly supports a healthy lifestyle, through fitness and smart food choices, does it not seem contradictory to have someone who promotes an eating disorder on their cover? I think there were many valid points raised about this choice.

What irks me the most was their response--accusing all the dissenters of being shills and linking a pdf to support their accusation. That is wrong on many levels. It's unprofessional, reeks of conspiracy theorists, and it's immature. The right thing to have done would be to acknowledge those concerns, even if it amounted to nothing. Just because someone disagrees with you does not make them a paid dissenter from Big-Ag or whatever these people believe. It's insulting, and worse yet they seem to have no interest in rectifying the situation. It's a wonder this magazine even has readers in the first place. They couldn't even do what Marie Claire did when their readers were angered over having Ashlee Simpson on the cover just before she had rhinoplasty for their pro-female issue and just let the fans air their grievances. Overall, it was a PR nightmare.

I can't trust a magazine that treats mishaps this way, especially if it's about living a healthy lifestyle. One of the most dangerous things a person can do is refuse to admit when they're wrong, and living in a world where you're deluding yourself into thinking all your detractors are paid enemies sure can't be good for you, either.


title: Has nutritional info for each recipe

text: Love this magazine.  Has interesting articals  as well as recipes.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine, so many helpful ideas


title: I love it!

text: I just really enjoy Instyle! And I'm glad that now I can get it on my ipad as well - for free (since I'm a subscriber.) The articles don't focus on gossip and the style guides are helpful.


title: Good Read!

text: At first I didn't like this magazine at all, and then I decided to give it another try, and I'm glad I did. This is not a magazine to read quickly.It's not jam packed with pictures and how to's etc... and big bold text. The text can be long and there are lots of smaller images - ie treasures tucked inside that if you skim it quickly you will miss. If you are inspired by images of others' works, you will enjoy this read! If you want something you can just look at the pictures and be inspired - probably not for you.


title: LOVE!

text: This magazine is fabulous! It's exactly as I expected. This is not a magazine to read quickly. The text can be long and there are lots of smaller images - ie treasures tucked inside that if you skim it quickly you will miss. Definitely not a DIY magazine, but if you are inspired by images of others' works, you will enjoy this read!


title: Never without a subscription.

text: I've always loved reading the Readers Digest.


title: To much advertising!

text: I used to receive the Traveler magazine years ago and it is now, nothing like it used to be.  It was mostly advertising and very little  info about places to travel or best ways to travel.


title: Popular Science renew

text: Excellence doesn't waver as this pop magazine is still IN and IN DEMAND. Great illustrations; new research; help for today's trade-person.


title: Best Teen Magazine Out There.

text: I have been a reader of Seventeen magazine for the last 5 years and it is the best magazine I have ever gotten.  It's filled with fashion, interviews, make-up/hair ideas, fitness, body issues and current events.  Perfect for girls from about 14 to 18.


Luv it. My favorite interior design magazine currently in print. Even if Metropolitan Home was successfully resusitated (pleeeeeze) I think I would still love Elle Decor.
