This is the best of the best of the rags out there.  Reader beware:  not everything you read is the truth.  I love to thumb through this magazine from cover to cover and can't wait to receive it in the mail each week.  The pictures are fun to look at and it's simple, mindless reading!

From the newest styles that the stars are wearing to the latest make-up craze and new fangeled products out there, this magazine will give it all to you.  Not to mention who's doing what and with whom in Tinseltown!

So... get your own subscription today!  Note:  you save almost .50 off the cover price at the stores.


title: I love to go from page to page.......

I've recently started reading my Bon Appetit from cover to cover just because everything is so good (pictures, recipes, articles, etc...).  Having three small busy children, my time is limited for meals during the week and my favorite section of this book is "Fast Easy Fresh".  I can always find a few recipes that are easy to make yet edible in the eyes of my children.  My second favorite section is "Readers' Timesaving Recipes".  These readers seem to share the same type of lifestyle as me (limited kitchen time) and they submit very yummy, quick recipes that I can whip up in no time.

My husband and I believe that dinnertime as a family is so important to the well-being of our children that making meals that require endless preparation and cooking just isn't a priority for us.

I also love to entertain and have dinner parties so the new column that begins in the April 2005 issue entitled "Party Improv" is a great addition.  I like that they give big, delicious ideas with little effort... including suggestions for table settings, cocktail concoctions, music, wine and a complete menu for your party!!!  They thought of it all!

I highly suggest getting your subscription today so you don't miss out on any future issues!


title: Good magazine-takes forever to start subscription though-

text: My husband loves this magazine, but the disappointment to me was that when I ordered the subscription in May, we won't receive an issue until August.


title: Love reader's digest!

text: I love reader's digest! This one wasn't a very thick compared to some I've read.

text: Our first 3 copies arrived yesterday. Awesome for our curious 5 year old who loves to read (he reads at 2nd grade level, so this perfect). He has already read all 3 copies and has gone back to re-read some things. The magazine is broken down in a great way for young readers. Lots of interesting and funny facts throughout, great for curious young minds.

title: Waste of money

text: If you want a book of ads, subscribe to this.  Otherwise, don't wast your money.


title: Don't waste your money like I did

text: Nothing but a book of ads


title: Don't bother

text: Just a bunch of ads and maybe 1 or two unrelated stories.


title: Really Like

text: I think this is the best yoga magazine.  I tried another one and didn't like it and it costs twice as much.


title: Bootleg magazines

text: Now is this the exact same magazine thats sold in stores because the magazines I have been receiving looks like a bootleg copy. Just photo copied on cheap paper plus tons of Ads.


title: Would be a great magazine for my daughter it if ever arrived.

text: I bought this subscription for my daughter in April so she would have something positive to read. I paid for 1yr subscription which states is 4 issues. We’ve received one so far and I received a notice to renew the subscription today..... where are the other 3 issues I paid for?


title: Not What It Used To Be...

text: Before the time of online sites,  I and I'm sure others, waited patiently each month for this magazine.  It was always a source of many interesting articles recipes and most of all real people and their homes. I would keep each issue and reread them even years later. I now give them away and do not plan on re subscribing.  I don't know what has happened here but I challenge the editor to well,  "do better".  Those of us that are used to a more quality product, are deeply disappointed.  More stories and layouts on homes and less trying to sell things and various other very weak stories.  I hope someone reads this.  There are a few of us that rely on magazines to clear our mind and also inspire us .  If you have to,  rehire the old crew,  or at least get their opinion before publishing... LOL

text: Lots of interesting articles on a variety of subjects.  It was nice to be informed about something that I didn't even know I wanted to know.


title: We have been subscribers for years now.

text: For those who are interested in the history of the British Isles this is a great magazine.  One of the nice features is current historians holding forth on some subjects and I also like the book reviews.


title: Our favorite children's magazine

text: My granddaughter loves these magazines.  As did my own children years ago!  There's lots of fun stories, enjoyable projects, puzzles, trivia information.  Not to mention the jokes in each issue--always a favorite in this house.  I highly recommend this magazine to any parent/grandparent as a fun activity to share with the children in your life.  Well worth the money, especially since we save them for younger siblings/cousins. (And for the younger members of the family there's a junior version called High Five, perfect for the five and under age group.). I can't speak highly enough about this magazine--it's packed with age appropriate, fun, educational content.


title: Very informative

text: I've been reading this for about a year now, and have learned a lot.  It's a quick read on current health/nutrition issues.

text: I love Oprah and her truths.  This magazine is just another extension of it all.  Great to relax and dive into.


title: one of the best "homemakers" magazines

text: I read a review that called this magazine "too frivolous" and i wondered what that reviewer  thought a mag called Southern Lady would contain? Deep philosophical articles, political debates, biographical articles about early Etruscan kings??? Its a classic homemakers publication with alot of pretty pictures, good recipes, decor ideas, etc. Unlike some, its reasonably priced and like HGTV magazine has alot of content for the money. I really enjoy Southern Lady!


title: Previewing Print with Pride

text: I have had individual subscriptions to both of these magazines. I am so ancient, I remember when The Advocate came as a folded up newsmagazine, just like Rolling Stone. But, hopefully, better than my current issue to Rolling Stone, I'll actually read my printed versions of these dynamic duo mags. I already won a subscripts to the online version of "Out's Advocate". I have not taken to reading magazines online that is why I'm trying the printed versions. It's really quite remarkable and sad the way the World Wide Web continues to destroy so many businesses. On the one hand, its kinda fun being able to make your online travel arrangements. But when it comes to other media, like music, while I like the portability of Mp3s, I cannot acclimate myself to reading album booklets online. Same as magazines. Maybe we will learn that somethings need to retain a tactical experience. We still have to formulate digital manners, the few attempts to introduce some, have mostly gone unheeded. We still see Neanderthals speaking loudly on cellphones in public places or simply ignoring cashiers as they check out. For the person who still ascribes exclusively to "creationism" while rejecting evolution, need only observe the primal behavior of man on their digital gadgets as they fumble in public.


title: Don't allow cancellation - so be sure you want it

text: I've been picking up Mojo Magazine off the newsstand when available and it's a decent music magazine. I also enjoy the accompanying CDs. However, after ordering a one year subscription, I decided I wanted to cancel for now and emailed them via the email address provided in the subscription confirmation letter. The response I got is that it isn't their (Great Magazines) policy to allow the cancellation of a subscription. I have subscribed to many magazines over the years and while there certainly may be others who have that policy, I have never encountered one. That is not to say it's my habit to cancel subscriptions - it isn't. But I have cancelled a sub maybe 2 or 3 times over the years and have never had a problem. They simply pro-rate and refund the difference. So, since this magazine, which is published out of Great Britain, is an expensive subscription, make sure you really want it because you can't cancel it. I should say that I got my subscription directly from the Mojo website. Had I known Amazon handled it, I probably would have ordered it through them and maybe the policy would be different. In any case, there was nothing on the Mojo site when ordering the subscription that stated the non-cancellation policy. Just information for anyone considering this magazine. The magazine itself is fine if you like this type of publication.

I intended to read and then pass to my nephew since he is the one who will likely gain the most from the magazine.<br />THe magazine does a nice job of covering trendss, popular franchises and new ideas in the marketplace. I recommend for anyone starting out in business who wants a companion source of information and ideas.

Over the past several years, I have subscribed to several cooking magazines.  I have found that the Food Network Magazine is superior to all the rest.  It contains a great deal more information, timely articles, great recipes, a pull out section about 50 Ways to Make _____.  Each month it is something different.


title: Company thinks I have not renewed.

text: This was a renewal.  I have and continue to get notifications from Consumer Reports that it is time to renew.  I am concerned that they are thinking this is an entirely different order instead of a renewal.

title: Too bad they havent realized it is raining out side.

text:
I think Astronomy is a great Mag. and just as soon as they get their heads out of their dark place. The place that keeps them from letting us subscribe to it for $.50 per month and $6.00 a year I will become a life subscriber. Hey I can read their mag on my kindle just because 50 of us have decided to pay 3000 to a kid to copy and post it for us. This means that I can condense all of the issues for a full year into one book. Keeps me from running out of room. Each and every one of us ponies up the bucks to have any magazine all of us want copied to kindle.

The kid is thinking of taking his computer to the South Pacific and posting it all from there. He figures that if he does just two hundred of each magazine and he does 100 magazines. He can live there write his own books and publish this stuff out the back door and make over $250,000 a year to do this. Gosh and he will have to work only 4 hours a day four days a week. lets see 16hrs a week he can take two months a year off work and still put a lot of it away for when the magazine folks wake up and try the consumer right.

dray

text: that you get through the day you get it in and scour it page by page! There's lots of coupons, not always for things I personally use but to be fair I have only received 2 copies...so I'll have to wait and see. I sit with scissors in hand. I like the real people approach. So often BHG and other mags offer 'budget' deals for clothing looks that are still out of my budget or body type. So, I give that aspect of AllYou a thumbs up!

title: The proving ground for science fiction writers

text:
I can't tell you how many great science fiction writers I discovered through reading Analog.  My first Larry Niven story was in Analog, as well as my first Spider Robinson story.  Most of the greats got their start here, and many of them continue writing a story for Analog now and then.

The short story is a good friend to science fiction.  It allows for the exploring of an idea without the need to "fill it out" to novel length.  This magazine has a nice blend of stories, articles and comic strips.  Novel length stories are serialized, and arrive in chapter form. The letter column is often as much fun to read as the stories.

As with any anthology,  Analog contains it's share of "misses."  The good far outweighs the bad, and I strongly recommend it as a subscription.


title: The lighter side of Science

text:
Discover is a fun magazine, and a much easier read than Scientific American.  Mind you, it does not have the density of it's fellow publication, but I seem to pick Discover up more often lying around the house.

A nice broad range of categories are covered by Discover, with an eye for "topical science."  The editors are good at identifying scientific trends (like cloning), and are quick to get articles out.  This is a great benefit for those who want to stay knowledgeable about science, but do not have the time to invest in deep research.

As with any science magazine,  fantastic pictures fill the pages.  Charts and images are well-used to illustrate and clarify unfamiliar topics.  A well put-together magazine.


title: For the guitar player OR guitarist

text: Great magazine for seasoned pros and beginners alike. Lots of examples and tabliture to try out. Website is quite good too. Great price for this quality of magazine! Interviews are very informative.


title: Amazing, terrific magazine!

text: Our family subscribed to National Geo since I was a child. When I left home, I continued my subscription to this top notch magazine. The topics of this magazine are about globally relevant social, cultural, scientific and environmental issues. The material is broadly sweeping. The articles provide info about current world issues, as well as quirky, fascinating vignettes, windows into the lives of unusual people and distinctive cultural groups, as well as inform people of relevant environmental issues pertinent to people around the globe. National Geo articles are well written, entertaining, fascinating, yet easy to read, and the photos are superb. If you want to be informed of world cultures and provided with latest information about  environmental conditions and issues on land and sea and current scientific research in an easy to understand format re-enforced with photos and diagrams/maps, this magazine is a superb addition to your household or workplace.


title: Love this Magazine

text: Don't shop without it for major purchases.


title: Can't wait for each new issue

text: I keep my old copies in my classroom along with my National Geographic issues as reference materials for my students.  Amazing photos and stories from around the globe.


title: consult before you buy

text: I have used this publication for several years and respect the fact that they are not paid by the manufacturers for favorable reviews.  It has been very helpful to read product information for many major purchases and see how the products hold up, comparison of purchase prices, how dependable the products are and the repair facts when comparing items like appliances, vehicles and electronics.  I appreciate the research they do on behalf of the consumer.


title: As American standard

text: The photos are superb and the articles well written.  A staple in my home and classroom for student use. This is a publication I grew up with as well.


title: Five Stars

text: An excellent source of current events in the astronomical world.

text: Enjoy all the articles and seeing new ideas on entertaining, etc.


title: LOVE THIS MAGAZINE!

text: I've been reading MC for several years now on my e-reader, but as I've aged, my eyes can no longer read the magazines on an e-reader, so I've switched my magazines back to print. Books still work on e-reader, but not magazines. So glad MC is still available in "Vintage" Print! Thanks MC, and thank you Amazon for the great price!


title: Something for everyone here

text: I have been a Wired reader for many years now, and I always find the articles to be first rate. Not all articles will appeal to everyone, but enough do to definitely justify the cost of your subscription. This magazine is not just about electronics, but covers a wide range of topics. Something here for everyone!

I got this magazine for my stepson for Christmas.  He's  just starting an Aquarium.  He was so excited about it he read the whole magazine in one sitting.  I look forward to a year of fun reading.

Highly recommended for anyone just starting out with an aquarium.  Or for the experienced person as well, I don't know.

I was surprised to find magazine subs here on<br />Amazon and most all of them save you a few bucks.  Good to know.  But anyway, this is a great magazine.  I would recommend yu subscribe to there other mag, Cloth, Paper, Scissors also as it is just as fabulous.

title: Great puzzles, lousy subscription service

text: I love these puzzles; they are challenging and well constructed. However, avoid subscribing through Amazon; deal directly with the publisher. Here's  why I say that. My Amazon account said my subscription was valid through April 2022, but I just received a reminder notice from the publisher that my subscription expired. I contacted Amazon, who told me to contact the publisher, who told me to contact Amazon's subscription agent. After being put on hold with them for five minutes in complete silence, I hung up. I may just end up buying it at the supermarket the way I used to.

text: I was a subscriber for decades and finally cancelled my subscription in disgust. The magazine has gone downhill enormously over the last few years. It now has far too much politically motivated tripe.  I hold two doctoral degrees in the sciences and believe that National Geographic now presents opinion FAR too often as fact.  Get Smithsonian instead.

text: I've always loved this magazine and now I'm getting it again. It also has a few pages with "user submitted tips" which I collect and put into a binder. This binder by itself is really helpful. I wish they'd come out with a book of just these tips, sorted by  like plumbing, electrical, organization (how to organize cords, screws, etc), kitchen tips, bathroom tips, etc.


title: Poor Delivery

text: I bought this for my father because I thought he would enjoy it.  Maybe he would have if it ever came on time.  Delivery was horrendous.  First it did not come at all.  Even after complaining to USA Today it was sporadic.  2 or 3 days a week instead of 5.  It was not until we figured out who the delivery service was and complained to them did the paper become more regular and even then a day or two would be skipped and then the missing papers would all be delivered together.  No thanks the Trib and the Times are going to have to be enough,

text: love it


title: used to love it

text: Once upon a time, this was one of my favorite magazines.  The reason was simple.  I love cigars and this was a magazine primarily about cigars.  The cigar content now, though, seems often to be an after-thought.  The serious articles of the past have given way to more and more ads and articles about watches and shirts that cost more than the gross national product of much of the world.  Too much now is about frivolous celebrity culture, devoid of any cigar-related content.  If I had the slightest interest in how some actor/singer/athlete lives, I would read one of those magazines.  While I will still occasionally pick this up, and still do find the occasional exceptional article, I have now turned to Cigar magazine for my cigar-related content.


title: Great wood carving magazine.

text: I live this magazine!  It has lots of different patterns and instructions.


title: Lots of ads

text: I used to by this magazine on the new stand and its been several years since I picked one up but I thought I would subscribe just to have some reading material around the house. I was very surprised when the first issue came and it was so thin. I was further disappointing when I opened it and it is mostly ads.

title: Didn’t like the issue it was boring..

text: Where are the recipes!!!??? The issue I finally receiced after 3-4 months and it wasn’t great. That being said I’m not aloud to mention how poorly my experience subscribing on Amazon was. I’m also not aloud to mention that I didn’t receive the magazine for like 3 almost 4 months. But after I canceled the subscription, a magazine did actually arrived a week or 2 later. But it wasn’t a great issue, it was boring. I was hoping I made it on time for the holiday issue, but I didn’t. So I had regretted not purchasing at the store. I don’t recommend subscribing to this magazine especially through here, I say just buy it on the news stands when it’s an interesting issue. Anyway I don’t like that veg news is more about celebrities now. I will support veg news because sometimes their issues are good and it’s a vegan magazine. But I won’t be subscribing again, I regretted that decision. I did eventually get fully refunded though. I had cancelled because it took way too long to receive the magazine.<br />-I manage to find the holiday issue, but not what I had expected at all! This is a huge catalog to buy more junk food and vegan garbage! I was hoping for some cheeze recipes, but nothing. The issue does have very few recipes, but the way it’s organize it is so badly done! It’s hard to read tbh. Again Veg News how disappointing! That’s 2 boring not worth the $$ issues.


title: Easy to read and follow

text: Excellent recipes


title: Thin

text: My daughter got a year's subscription of National Geographic For Kids as a gift.  Good thing, I would have cancelled it had I paid one red cent for it.  It is a thin magazine and honestly barely thicker than a leaflet.  It has a heavy ad to articles ratio.  The content is average, what there is of it.  If you are thinking of subscribing, get it cheap.  Under 10 would be worth it but at 15 they are ripping you off.


title: Where will my Vanity Fair go????

text: I have wanted a subscription to this magazine for many years.  The Amazon price is unbeatable!  Plus I waited until I needed it added on to another product to qualify for free shipping.  It arrived in less time than stated, and started with the current month.

I like that MENews combines the hippy dippy with the old-school farmer. There are new ideas and tried and true methods. It is nice to see new ideas and also nice to know that the old ways are being preserved - perhaps even updated and built upon using new technology.

I like to see the two seemingly opposite worlds come together without going  into a bunch of political, agenda-driven nonsense. It is a fine line to travel and MENews does a good job staying away from politics and just providing helpful information to people who depend on themselves, their ingenuity, and others who share a similar point of view.


title: End of an Era

text: Politics in Popular Science, never again


title: Never received!!!  Hate the service!

text:
It is very difficult to review a product or in this case a publication that has never arrived.

Little help!!

Where is it?  And when can we accept it to arrive?

title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine with great doable recipes and helpful advice.


title: Forgot how good it was

text: I had forgotten how good it was to sit down with a Rolling Stone. Brought back many good memories & introduced to me a whole new era!


title: $5 Cheap price

text: Bought for like $5.00. I only get them a few times a year but for $5 its not bad.


title: Irreverant and gross - Love it!

text: Mad is a no brainer. Perfect for people who have a warped sense of humor.


title: Seemed like it took a long time to activate the subscription.

text: Purchased as a gift. I hear he likes it very much.


title: A greatly enjoyed subscription

text: I give this subscription annually to a son and daughter-in-law who are both professional artists -- they always greatly enjoy it.


title: Great magazine!

text: I have always loved Woman's Day magazine and used to subscribe to it regularly, but since going back to work full-time, the magazines piled up.  I decided to re-subscribe because of the price!  I like having the paper in my hands and turning the pages.  I have an older Kindle but it is not color, so I would not subscribe to e-magazines or e-cookbooks.


title: LOVE MY TV GUIDE!

text: I anxiously await the delivery of each new TV Guide.  I mark the shows I want to watch for the week or two and I love the Puzzles too.  Fun magazine and one of my favorites.


title: Five Stars

text: Great read with lots of features and stories.


title: Three Stars

text: To me its not the magazine it used to be. I now quite often find it very confusing.


title: Maximum PC Magazine

text: Once I finally got the magazine I was reaaly happy with the information inside. Every page has great information. I would recommend it.  If you do order expect to wait 6 to 8 weeks like they say,,I ordered on May 11 and finally got my first issue July 6.


title: Subscription concerns with NS

text: I have directedly subscribed to NS for over 10 years,enjoyed the the mag articles,esp the older format,but always had subscription problems. Most issues are delayed some a month late,complaints are usually dealt with eventually but lately it’s gotten worse and billing has become an issue..they have lost my recent check,haven’t followed up,etc…Does Amazon intercede on your behalf for billing issues or are you on your own with NS ?


title: Husband love's PM

text: My husband is up in years and swears that Popular Mechanics is the best magazine out there of it's kind.


title: TOH continues to do it right

text: As always, TOH lives up to its obligation to be an interesting and usefully informative source of how-to stuff for those of us wanting to fix and improve things around the old homestead.

title: fine

text: It is a fine magazine. But I don't understand why I ordered it and paid for it April 30th and I am still waiting for the first issue to come (today is June 28th).


title: Learning about the news

text: Great stories and pictures in a great magazine.


title: Great magazine for car enthusiasts

text: Great editorial content.


title: Great magazine

text: This is still the same one you always liked to read.


title: Up to date magazine

text: my husband loves this magazine.  He peruses it thoroughly and compares ideas with his video classes.  He is very much an avid photographer who manipulates the photos and is intrigued with the processes. This magazine has the latest ideas and products.


title: It's an okay couin collecting tool.

text: Magazine is a little low key for me. It's information is hard to use and, based on my experience in the market, the coin prices printed are somewhat inaccurate. I canceled my subscription in favor of another title.


title: Love this magazine

text:
This is just about the best historical periodical to which I have ever subscribed.  Absolutely engrossing.

Well-written and researched, writing style is easy to understand.  Not too overly scientific but also definitely not too elementary.  I thoroughly enjoy reading this periodical cover-to-cover.

It covers a wide range of historical topics.  Many of the articles are of such interest to me (like King Tut's family history, Sargon the Great's daughter, the world's first known author, and the genesis of Europe's Gothic cathedrals) that I have kept them and created a spreadsheet to find the issue quickly.  This magazine is of much more interest to me than even National Geographic itself.

I thought I knew much about history yet this publication rarely fails to introduce me to something new or update previous findings.  If one enjoys reading about history, this would be well worth considering.

text: Gift for a friend. He wouldn't share!

title: Everybody loves Reader's Digest

text: Ordered this several months ago and it finally came. I've always loved Reader's Digest and still do. The only thing is it's definitely smaller in content that it used to be. May be the last time I order it.


title: Good Magazine

text: Still a good magazine, however I cancelled my subscription because I<br />don't have the time to read it.


title: Interesting

text:
Not as good as it used to be when it first came out.
Guess it just ran its course after a while.
Cancelled my superscription.

title: Nice articles if I could read them.

text:
I grew up with Popular Mechanics....  Purchased a subscription for my tween who like going through old issues of his grandfather....

The current publication is a lot smaller in size, especially print.  Hard to read articles.

If they had a large print edition, I would have gone for that.

title: Good read

text: Good read, renewal too expensive


title: My favorite magazine

text: I gladly give the Life Extension magazine 5 stars.  I have been taking this magazine for over 5 years and it is a joy to receive each month.  My friends and I like to discuss the articles and share information about the products we use from Life Extension.

This is the ONLY honest cycle magazine. Useful articles and the only hones reviews out there.


title: Good?  No, Near Perfect!

text:
For a hobby and activity that is as far out of the mainstream as it is, one could reasonably expect a few come-and-go, short lived publications to represent pipe smoking.  Pipes and Tobaccos (P&T) is definitely not that.  The quality of the magazine -- the writing, the advertisements, the art, the balance -- are far above what one might expect.

At first glance, P&T appears to be a large, glossy, coffee table publication that could be mistaken for a high fashion magazine.  And, in its visual presentation, it takes that approach.  However, its content is focused, thoughtful, and eclectic.  I don't save my magazines.  But I'm saving this one.

It is a fine companion to an easy chair, a familiar tobacco, background music, and an hour of smoking and reading.


I have been getting Essence and I love reading the articles.Getting it again with a special deal ,lower price, was what I liked. Thank you.


title: VIBE has it going...

text: I'd been a long-time fan to VIBE since they been out. I 'member I first lay eyes on em by checking the covers on 'em but not reading by 'em. y'know. They such knockouts. Yeah they definitely keepin' it real no matter what. I believe they'll be around more and more since them magazines u read all the time like ESSENCE, EBONY and JET. I still have love for them also. But to say VIBE doesn't suck. I'd never been a subscriber since last year and I definitely enjoy it to this day. I actually read the XXL and Source magazine most often now. Same w/ Upscale, Campus Life, just to name others. I luv they magazine to death man, knahmsayin. Ya'll keep it rocked y'heard. Nobody's bringin' the hype on ya fellaz. Keep it UP!!!


title: Educational material for little minds.

text: These magazines have come in time, and my daughter loves them.


title: love the food network

text: did not like  because did not receive the magazine


title: Very informative magazine.

text: Great magazine. Very informative.


title: Great magazine at killer price!

text: Amazon’s subscription prices for my favorite magazines (including this one) are THE lowest I have found anywhere—and I have been reading certain magazines for more than five years. This particular magazine has incredible quality materials and photographs throughout. Their newer shopping platform to shop the magazine is super cool. This magazine does a good job sticking primarily to fashion. Large, full-color ads as well.


title: Must Have for Penny Pinchers!

text:
This magazine is full of great coupons month after month.  It flies off the rack at my local Walmart.  It is only available for purchase via subscription or exclusively at Walmart.  Each issue costs $2.24 if purchased separately.

You will easily recoup your subscription price just by using some of the coupons.  If you're a coupon master, such as myself, you'll recoup your money with the first issue.  Normal coupon users will recoup their money with the first two issues.

A common misconception is that the coupons are only good at Walmart.  This is not true.  These are manufacturer's coupons, such as the ones you find in the Sunday newspaper.

If you read any couponer or money saving blogs, you've seen them mention All You.  All You is a favorite magazine of couponers everywhere because it is packed with high-dollar coupons, many of which are for savings greater than you receive in the Sunday coupon inserts.

text: I've learned a lot from the great examples and advice that Writer magazine gives -- it also encourages all writers, beginners and advanced, to "write on!" A worthy and invaluable investment.


title: Great deal for hubs!

text: My husband loves this magazine and I love the price! It comes in the mail and I know just what to do: open mail box, remove magazine, walk into house, put into bathroom reading basket.


title: Loved by Dad

text: I purchased this as a gift for my father, a lifelong crossword puzzle fan. His first subscription ran out, and though he is notorious for never wanting anything for Christmas, he has just requested more of these for Christmas, so I am renewing the order with glee.

Took advantage of trial offer. Great to have the digital edition and the print edition.

I love the New Yorker. One of the best magazines. Although....some of the articles tend to drag on and on and on.


title: Solis content

text: Really good stuff.  Very enjoyable to read.


title: Great reading

text: My husband loves hiking and this is what he wanted for Christmas, so this is what he got.  Him and our granddaughter love to hike, so it is perfect for him.


title: Makes life easier

text: Love that I have on my tablet and don't have magazines laying all over the house


title: STILL GOOD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS . . .

text: One of the few magazines not yet ruined by the current Hearst money grubber.


title: Four Stars

text: Interesting articles, but way too expensive a newsletter.


title: Exactly what he wanted.

text: This was a gift last year and I just renewed. It's exactly what he wanted. This is a TRADE magazine. Not just for perusing, looking at new trucks.


title: Five Stars

text: I still like Traditional Home, even when rooms don't seem so traditional


title: Not relevant to many readers

text: The trial subscription period gave me a few interesting articles to read.  The bulk of content was just not relevant to my life and, though well-written, did not really provide any information or  pleasure benefit for the reading time I invested.  The few items that interested me were not enough to justify the weekly addition to my paper recycling.  Also, there did not seem to be any way to  receive the trial as a digital-only subscription to prevent paper pileups.  Access to the New Yorker archive was difficult to use and it was not really possible for me to see if the promoted "additional content" was actually useful information additional to the print/digital version.  I will stick with my library database access to get the few New Yorker items that are pertinent to me in the future.


title: One Star

text: If you like a mag with 3/4 ads..this is for you!! Not a fan!


Five Stars


title: So-so Magazine

text: More ads then anything else.


title: I paid in full, but NEVER received a single issue!

text: I paid for a subscription to this magazine in February and they said I should receive my first subscription in April.  It is the end of **May** and I still have not received a single issue.  I do not recommend that anyone order this magazine subscription.


title: A monthly treat for all of us (except Kitten)!

text: A wonderful magazine! I have had a subscription going on 5 years now and keep everyone. I LOVE each issue and read EVERY article. Maybe someday I'll find time to sent pictures in of my puppies (1 yr & 11 yrs) and write my rescue stories...All the fabulous pictures seem to bring each doggie to life ~ temporarily giving me my childhood dream of having a 101 puppy paradise!! Thank-you! Keep up the GREAT work!!


title: HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS MAGAZINE

text: RECEIVED MY FIRST ISSUE THIS WEEK.HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS MAGAZINE,GREAT ARTICLES.


title: My Favorite!!

text: I absolutely love this magazine. There are enough recipes in one issue alone to last more than a month. I love reading about the Food TV chefs/cooks as well. There is a ton of information in each issue. I don't buy any other food magazines since I subscribed to this one.


title: Ideas for West Coasters.

text: Love this magazine.


title: Great!

text: Great!


title: Five Stars

text: hit the spot


title: I love the magazine but the advertisements of 12 gifts never happened

text: I have always read Women's Health magazine since I was a teenager.  There are plenty of health information but there are more involved in sex and living life as a woman.  If you want more scientific based readings, you're better off reading Men's Health.  Another scenario, I was order a subscription that included12 free gifts.  They claimed they didn't have the 12 gifts so therefore they sent me a small booklet and a bunch of pointless coupons.  I complained since they continued to advertised the 12 free gifts in the other magazines and they said they will send me the 12 gifts when they arrive more on stock.  Again they sent me the same booklet that I received a few months ago.  It's a great price to receive 2 years of magazines but don't expect to receive the 12 gifts and excellent customer service.


title: Two Stars

text: Wasn't able to keep interested. Too many ad's


title: informative

text:
My husband likes this magazine so
well, he has me renew it long before
it expires!  We'll buy it as long as its
printed!


title: I like it!

text: I first saw this at my dentist's office and several articles so caught my attention that I asked to take it home (they said "O.K.").  I liked it more after finishing the issue and subscribed at the bargain rate offered.  The 2nd and 3rd copies are just as satisfying.  I like the depth and range of the articles and the layout is pleasing as well.  This has become very quickly something I look forward to.  I do worry the inexpensive cost means it may disappear - I have had that experience.


title: Continuing subscriber

text: I have subscribed for years, and enjoyed this magazine even before the TV show. As a continuing subscriber, I have found tips or recipes in almost every issue for use in cooking, product purchases, or kitchen routines.  The price is high, but absolutely worth every penny.


title: A delighted old time train fan!

text: You won't be disappointed.  My husband was highly satisfied.  It provides great photos, interesting text, the components of a good magazine.


title: Gift for a serious gardener

text: This magazine had been requested as a birthday present for a serious gardener.  It is a beautiful magazine with four-color photographs and articles of interest.  I have renewed the gift subscription for another year.  The recipient loves it and looks forward to each issue.


title: Good for 1 hour of entertainment and then garbage

text: Cheap magazine - was expecting some glossy photos but received thin newspaper like pages that tear easily. Cannot withstand any wear and tear - good for 1 hour tops and then ends up in the recycling bin. In terms of actual content, magazine states is appropriate for kids 2-7...definitely much too advanced for my 2 year old...and outside of some coloring sections and a couple short "stories", my 4 year old got pretty bored soon after.


title: Discover Magazine

text: I bought the magazine renewal through Amazon because of the price.  It was a good deal and of course Discover Magazine is packed with all the new technology and science info.  A great bargain.


title: True Confessions

text: Purchased for my mom and came within 3 weeks.  Terrific.  Mom loved it when she was young and she still enjoys reading the stories.


title: Bring manly fashion back

text: Meh.  It used to be about men and what men need and like.  Now too much sensitivity and not enough articles on luxury watches and where the hot girls are.


title: Three Stars

text: Nothing but ads


title: Great Magazine, resubscribed.

text: Great magazine and resubscribed. Bought this subscription for two of my grandkids ages 9 and 11. They both love it and were unanimous in my resubscribing for the magazine. Recommend!


title: Glad The Magazine Is Still Around

text: Good overall coverage but could use one or two extra stories on professional Lacrosse.


title: First Issue of Bookmarks magazine

text: Am so pleased with Bookmarks Magazine.  I've read it from cover to cover & have a list of "Want to Read" books that were reviewed.


title: Review

text: Not nearly as good as it used to be.  I would say it has about half the content it once had.


title: Pretty Good!

text: It’s great for young moms I’m older and really look for receipts and ideas for home


title: OUTSTANDING PHOTOGRAPHY

text: To be honest with you I buy this for my stepfather. He adores it and has a fit if he doesn't have it. He is 91 and has moderate Alzheimer's. It's beautiful for any age and a very lovely gift. he cuts out pages in it and then frames them in the plastic see-through type box ones you can get at the dollar store and he has some all over his room it's really very nice  and a high compliment to the publication.


title: First

text: I love this magazine. I read it cover to cover, very informative.<br />to many words required for feedback, filler words for feed back


title: Five Stars

text: Lots of good information.

text: Love it but haven't began receiving it yet.


title: The.Best.Magazine.Ever!

text:
This magazine is what Popular Mechanics used to be ... about 40 years ago. It has great stories about making and using the latest in technology, written in a way that is accessible to anyone. Many of the stories have a list of materials, and a step by step description of how to complete whatever project is described. Topics vary widely, from DNA, to plants, to mechanical, to music, to electrical, to programming. A little something for everyone. The only bad thing about the magazine is - it has only four issues a year. You just have to wait too long for the next one to come in the mail!

Printed awesomeness. What else can you say?


title: Great entertainment magazine

text: Great entertainment magazine.  look for its arrival every month. Sorry to say it’s no longer to be printed. Got Choice of another magazine or refund.


title: The Best ain't cheap...

text: This is an excellent resource for all bass players and musicians. The reviews are good, the products reviewed are probally tied into ad layouts but are helpful. The product reviews are fair and usually truthful. The only draw back is the price of the book. The high end is probably a result of the lower subscription level, however your prices here help us that want to continue to get this great piece of reading...do it. They need the support and we need more good reading at reasonable rates.


title: Good deal

text: Every thing was fine


title: Beautiful

text: Like the beautiful pics


title: Good magazine.  Always something new to interest you.

text: I like it.  There is always something new and interesting in each issue.  Of course all magazines could use less pages of advertising.


title: COVID19 entertainment

text: Features of what is coming up for movies, tv. What happened to movies on Bond and WonderWoman, when we might expect release. Thought they might have more on movies .


title: My favorite magazine

text: best magazine at best price ever!


title: More, More, More

text: I love this magazine and wish it came out 12 times a year. Even though I live in an area with a relatively short growing season, I still want information.  AND NOT ON THE COMPUTER!!!! I want PAGES in my hands. Great mag.


title: What I ordered and what I got

text: I had ordered Eating Well and got 2 issues and then a note they were no longer going to publish Eating Well and I would get Better Homes- I do not like Better Homes.

title: Not like it used to be few yrs ago

text: Precisely two things have prompted me to subscribe to this once great,astonishing journal. 1st, at a very young age,i used to admire at the type of coverage,photos,quality of the paper etc of this book..so when i saw this offer of $10 for a yr's subscription, i jumped high up in the air as i thought i could relive my old days and also to show case the beauty of this to my 2yr son. but honestly, my son liked(the way i made and essayed him the stories out of the photos) it but i felt that it really did not live up to its once renowned reputation as there are too many pages of commercial ads( i can understand the need of it) with very less,little coverage.. however the quality of whatever was given were still good.<br />finally, but for the more pages dedicated to ads, i still rate it good and might continue the next yr as well


title: Five Stars

text: The very best woodworking magazine out there.

title: You art director/page layout person needs help

text: I used to love Wired every month, before the art director went mental with light grey fonts in 6 pt on a med grey background, turned 90º. Form overcame function, but it's become unreadable, physically !!. Sorry guys, my last year is running out, not going to renew.


title: Best in the Field.

text: Best source of lens reviews.


title: you like cars, you like this

text: great read


title: Science for Most of Us

text: SCIAM is a step above Discovery Magazine in detail, but a step down from Science Magazine it's parent. I enjoy reading about advances in many different fields of science from physics, chemistry, cosmology, anthropology, astronomy and the way that it all works. It's written so a high school or college student can understand the articles. I've had subscriptions off and on (mostly on) for 40 plus years. It keeps me informed and knowledgeable. And I am an artist by profession. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in science. The web site is pretty good as well.


title: Very labor intensive. Buy if you have ample time.

text: Honestly, I wish I had time to read the entire issue. It’s just too labor intensive for my present lifestyle, sadly.


title: Like the mag.

text: Like the magazine but I hate that RD sends unsoliceted books that if you don't like, you have to send<br />back. I wrote to them several times and told them to stop. I won't be renewing.


title: Worth the momey.

text: I like to know when my favorite shows are back on and what new shows I might be interested in.


title: Cultural Detritus

text:
Any sophistocated culture can be thought of, loosely, as an organism.  The culture has has various discrete elements which more or less work in conjunction to create the overall tone and feeling of the culture.  The culture takes in information and produces many beautiful and interesting objects and works of art. But, like any organism, after taking in nutrients, stripping away the useful elements, and outputting productively, there is a certain amount of useless inert matter leftover which must be excreted...

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you People Magazine!!!!


title: Excellent Magazine!

text: It has been a very long time since I was a subscriber to Popular Mechanics. I had forgotten just how good this magazine is. Subscribe!


title: Those Were the Days, My Friend, We Thought They'd Never End...

text:
I can remember the day like it was yesterday; I was at Thrifty Drugstore and I glanced over the magazine rack. There was a copy of Muscle & Fitness. On the cover was a glossy color picture of Dennis Tinerino and some blonde babe. I was so incredibly impressed by that body! Hers wasn't too shabby, either.

I felt kind of embarrassed buying that magazine because I was, at the time, 6'1" and weighed 106 pounds. I had real long, blonde hair and so I had to be really careful not to stand in corners because people might've mistaken me for a mop and used me to try and clean their floors.

I remember reading that magazine cover to cover. It was pure inspiration which was sorely lacking in my personal universe at the time. I was 15 years old and I felt abandoned by life. I really didn't feel like I fit in anywhere.

But after reading that magazine, I dragged out my dad's old blue plastic York barbells and dumbells and his old Sears weight bench and set up a little place in the garage and started working out. At first, I didn't want anyone to know so when everyone was fast asleep, I'd tiptoe to the garage, turn on my Realistic Stereo from Radio Shack to three and workout from 1-2 in the morning.

This magazine really offered some great advice at the time but what I really liked were the pictures. Bodybuilding  wasn't the 'freakshow' that it is today. There were some massive guys, but there weren't guys walking around at 300lbs with 25" biceps. Bodybuilding back then still had style and class. I immediately took a liking to Frank Zane. He wasn't super huge, but his body looked like it was sculpted from pure granite. One time the Mr. Olympia was on ABC sports and I used the Beta-tape player (remember those?) to tape his posing routine. Every morning and every night I watched that tape until it literally disentegrated from so much viewing.

I finally "went public" with working out because people began to notice that something was different. In fact, I got to play on the football team instead of being used as a yardage marker. Muscle & Fitness was still my Bible and I ordered all kinds of Weider related products. I once saved up my allowance for a month to get a container of chocolate 'gain weight pills'...I bought them because the same guy that was oin the cover of the first M&F I bought, Dennis Tinerino, was also peddling these. I thought for sure that if I took those pills, I'd look like him in another six or seven weeks.

God, those pills were awful.

I graduated from the garage to a real gym when I was 16 and I kept making progress. Bodybuilding took over my life. Even though my self esteem improved somewhat, it was hard to let go of all those mean and horrible things other kids used to say to me. I thought if I could just get to 160lbs...if I could just get to 175lbs...if I could just get to 200lbs...then I would be happy.

But I was never happy.

I started taking steroids right after I graduated high school and I still wasn't making the gains I wanted to.

One night, in a "roid rage" I was involved in a pretty horrible car accident. My right arm was almost completely torn off. My arm was spared but I was despondent because I couldn't go to the gym.

When I was finally able to go back to the gym, I returned to the same old tricks. I began to notice that Muscle & Fitness was saying the same old thing. I began to get really disillusioned about bodybuilding. I stopped lifting altogether. I distanced myself as much as possible from the sport.

About ten years ago, I gradually got back into it. Not to where I once was, but I decided to make it fun and have a good time doing it. I even bought a copy of M&F....

Same old stuff. I mean, all the people that are in the magazine now are different, but it's the same old stuff that I read 25 years ago. The 'champions' now are HUGE and grotesque. There are people like Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman who are weighing close to 300lbs at 5'11".

What the hell, man?

I think what really gets me now is all the advertising. You are paying six bucks for a magazine that is 80% ads. The ads these days even 'disguise' themselves to look like training articles, but they're still ads.

My suggestion is to look on e-bay and maybe buy some older versions of the magazine. Give yourself the opportunity to look at the 'golden days' of the sport. Yes, steroid use was happening even back then but it wasn't so obviously blatant as it is now.

Working out should be fun. I believe that the more fun it is, the more productive you will be. I know I'll never be Mr. Olympia, but so what...I won a bigger prize...I won my own self-appreciation.

Here's hoping you appreciate the gift that is the body.

Peace and Blessings,
john 'the Light Coach'

text: A wonderful magazine with lots of articles about food trends and how to lighten your recipes. The only downfall of course is all the advertisng. Some months I collect quite a few recipes others I toss aside with nothing special.

National Geographic Magazine is written primarily for theperson with little or no background in Geography. It is not an intense scholarly magazine and , as a Geograohy professor pointed out, tends to be chatty. But, it does give great information on geopgraphy as well as other fields in the Social Sciences even Natural History. There are many articles about people and places around the world and their customs. There are articles on the latest explorations and discoveries. Such as the rediscovery of the Gnostic Gospel of Judas and the oldest tatooed mummy.Zip USA takes a single US Zip Code and describes the customs and practices of the people living within that zip code. There are many interesting articles about people and places in the United States.

I became interested in Geography and Anthropology through reading this magazine. The articles are quite informative and entertaining and the photography is outstanding.


title: off to a promising start

text:
Here's a magazine that speaks to the inner tinkerer. In spite of its title, it's not about things that are ready-made but about a willingness to make stuff. The spirit behind it is good and refreshing.
Unfortunately, the performance doesn't match the spirit. The projects are hokey and many of the ideas are embarrassingly banal. There's also not much in the way of instruction in basic skills.
So if you don't mind a low good idea/page ratio, by all means subscribe-maybe they'll grow into it.


title: There's Nothing More Radical than Telling the Truth

text:
Consumer Reports is the first magazine dedicated to telling consumers the
truth about the things they buy. This seemingly obvious service has been
condemned as totalitarion, mocked for its materialism and subverted by
commercial interests who copy CR''s style but not its veracity.

Yes, it's true that the evaluative criteria are often more narrow than an
expert in a field would prefer. It's also true that some of the reviews should
include a brief reflection on whether the product in question should be
purchased at all. But CR's 'naivete' has a value. When they question the validity
of a medical treatment, for instance, they have no cultural axe to grind any
more than they have a commercial one when they review a toaster.

Hooray for CR and the radical idea of a magazine that simple tells the truth.

title: As close to the absolute truth as you can get in Boatland

text:
Sailboats may ride with the wind and float on the water, but they are absolutely
sold with hype and romance. If you consider that the sailing tradition itself is
 a combination of elitist romanticism and macho stoicism, it seems almost
natural that it's hard to get straight information about anything.

Most Sailing magazines are advertising-driven. That means that they make their
money by catering to their advertisers, so 'product reviews' are really pretty much
puff pieces. Even the most experienced and forthright sailors have limited
experience with brands of boats and types of gear.

Into the gap comes Practical Sailor. PS accepts no advertising. It does rigorous testing
and includes information on products that are never advertised. (Has any other boating
magazine reviewed the splendid Rhodes 22?). It is thoroughly indexed and non-subscribers
can order reprints of articles on topics of interest to them.

Note that the reviews tend to be of very high-end items and that an annual
subscription is a pricey $84 for 20 issues. That's a lot of money in the world
of magazines, but not much money in the world of sailboats.

title: The Uses of Luxury

text:
The Robb Report should probably call itself 'The

Magazine for People with Way Too Much Money'. It

is a critical examination of the goods, services

and experiences available to those for whom

money is no object. There is  no advice on getting

the most out of a tight budget, just advice on

getting the most.

So, if you don't happen to be in that bracket, what's

the point? Why read about what you can't attain?

If you can keep envy in check, there are three

reasons to read the Robb Report regularly.

1. it makes for very good fantasizing. Think of it

as a harmless form of consumer-porn.

2. the rich really do live well and there are ideas

you can adapt from them to your own more modest

circumstances.

3. some of the writing is superb. Read Jack Smith on

hiking through the Alps (Jan2007)for instance.

If you can't afford the experiences descibed in the

Robb Report, you can at least have the comfort of

their acquaintance. Of course, you could, alternatively

save the cover price, read it in the library and invest

the money you saved in a no-load mutual fund. Allowing

for growth and compounding and all, you'll probably be

able to afford that yacht about nine thousand years

from now.

title: An Honest Voice

text:
There's an inescapeable feeling when reading most writing

publications that you're about to be fleeced. There are ads

that offer instant publication, or expensive editorial and

design services. There is also a tone of phony upbeat optimism

about success in what is admittedly one of the most competitive

arenas in the world.

So Poets & Writers is a relief and a blessing. It offers realistic,

unfawning stories about the experience of real writers. It

also has listings of real prize competitions (not the phony

ones that are about collecting entry fees), winners of

competitions and notices of grants and awards.

Perhaps the best endorsement of all comes from my discarded

copies. I bring them to the magazine rack at my gym. As I

walk past the ranks of people doing their dutiful cardio,

I almost always see one copy being read.

Next to the magazine of the Author's Guild, there's no

better periodical for the committed writer.

title: A feast for the eyes and touch

This is one of the most beautiful magazines produced in America

today. The paper and print quality are such that holding it in

one's hands is almost an erotic experience.

The articles are sometimes witty, occasionally deep and often

quirky and the illustrations are thoughtful and the covers frameable.

This is an ideal magazine for the food lover who is as fond of

a good read as a good meal.

text:
I have been a Ferrari guy for years. So much so that I have visited the Ferrari factory three times - recently coming back from a week in Maranello. I love the cars, spirit, history and passion of these great cars. Cavallino magazine captures that spirit with great writing, best-in-class photography and very useful advertising.

Even if you don't have a Ferrari, this is the kind of magazine that allows you to share in the excitement without having a Prancing Horse in your garage.

Highly recommended


title: A wanna-be serious magazine for folks with ADHD

text: Jeff Goldblum's character in "The Big Chill" said that he couldn't write an article longer than the average person could read during a, er, "trip to the library" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?). The writers at Details seems to have the same marching orders. In these hectic times, maybe that's not so bad. The articles I have read are well researched and nicely bite-sized.  I actually finished the entire magazine between PM mail delivery and breakfast the next day. The topics they covered in my first issue ranged from fashion to health concerns. And, again, they cover the topics in very few, well-written pages. I do think the models look like under-fed children but at my age, that could be tunnel-vision (grey hair, I remember Filmore East, you get the picture?). My suggestion, take a look. It's a magazine with an interesting voice and it may be for you.


title: Where's the beef?

text: I was in NYC at a ritzy Soho party for a ritzy wrist watch intro and sat next to several Stuff staffers. All cool folks, very hip and tres NYC. Based on my conversations with these guys I figured that this would be an exceptionally well written and interesting publication. Man-o-man-a-chevitz was I wrong. I must be way, way outside the mag's main demographics (I suspect it's 13-16 year old lonely males). Pictures: Lots of T&A, girls in skimpy two size too small bikinis in splashing water and seductive poses kind of typify the majority of each issue. The text part (I really did try to read some of it) is mostly lame, puncutated by poorly written jokes. I can't believe that the subscription base exceeds one million.... Gawd, there must be a lot of horney mouth breathers out there. Buy an issue and decide if you too are a horney mouth breather - if so, subscribe, the other million of your kind await you with open arms - just make sure that they wash their hands first.

title: Fine Writing and Aggressively Edited

text: I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of GRIFFITH REVIEW no. 39 on "Tasmania: The Tipping Point" - a series of position papers, reminiscences, essays and other material on the island's past, present and future.  I found the collection inspiring, not only varied in terms of tone and stance, but finely written.  Editors Julianne Schultz and Natasha Cica have assembled a fine team of contributors, who contribute the kind of material that proves absolutely game-changing.  Until I encountered this volume, I knew next to nothing about Tasmania - except, perhaps, that it had produced two excellent cricketers, Ricky Ponting and David Boom.  After having read the volume, I understood a lot more about Australian history, its colonial past and postcolonial present and future; as well as the status of an island that is often marginalized in terms of its relationship to the mainland.  Congratulations to all concerned.


title: Four Stars

text: Great recipes. More ads than there used to be!


title: Like to read the magazine if only they would send it what a waste

text: Magazine comes whenever it wants got one so far won’t be getting this again if it comes at all


title: Only if you like long articles and have the time!

text: After subscribing to SI and trying to find the time to read it cover to cover, now I remember why I never renew it after I get an annual subscription.  The articles even though they may be interesting and well written, are waaaay too long.  Many, if not most of the articles are several pages long and because the magazine comes once per week, I never feel like I can get caught up on current happenings in sports so I end up not reading it at all.  SI always lures me in with their low cost subscription rate but what good is it if I don't have time to read the articles?  Make it more interesting and shorten the articles! We all know how short the attention span is especially for the average male.  I won't be renewing!


title: Looking at the world through gospel spectacles

text:
Third Way is a broadly evangelical, albeit fairly left-wing, publication, but I am confident its appeal will stretch to Christians of almost any stripe. Its mandate is to look at contemporary cultural and social issues from a Christian perspective. Third Way deliberately steers clear of inhouse issues (ie. purely "church" matters).
The typical issue features debate on social issues, biblical meditations and commentaries, political opinion, interviews and reviews among other interesting tidbits. Always food for thought in there somewhere.
The cover price is a little much for a relatively slim magazine, but for such good quality with, I would guess, a small audience, I guess we can't complain.


title: Mouthpiece for the modern charismatic renewal

text:
Charisma is a good source for news of the latest goings-on in the world of the contemporary charismatic movement. If you want to know what the televangelists are up to, where the latest revival is breaking out, or in what exciting and exotic ways the Holy Spirit is being manifested in this place or that, Charisma magazine is the place to look. Its usefulness pretty much ends there.
The glossy advertisements for hotshot healing evangelists, success gurus and big-name ministries are simply nauseating to most outside the world of card-carrying Pentecostals and charismatics, and next to them, anything useful or sensible the editors might occasionally have to say looks rather hollow and disingenuous. Most of the content will seem alien and bizarre to all but health and wealth, devil-bashing conservative fundamentalists. And "fundamentalist" -- despite the sometimes relatively moderate stance of the editors -- does describe very accurately Charisma's readership, I think, as a glance at the letters page will usually show.
One caveat: It is a few months since I have been a regular reader, so there is a slim chance things may have changed.

title: Goodbye - Holly, Bridget, & Kendra

text:
Playboy's February 2009 is 122 pages and features The Girls Next Door Holly Madison on the front cover. I as I understand there are three different cover versions; one that has Holly Madison on the front cover, another with Bridget Marquardt on the front cover, still a third version with Kendra Wilkinson on the front cover. Starting in the February 2009 magazine there are some changes in the magazine. The Playboy Forum is now at the end of the magazine and no longer in the beginning, the Grapevine has gone from black and white to color, and the contents pages have change. Even the Playmate News section has change as well.

This month pictorials are: Marta Gut-Poland's Playboy Playmate of the Month for July 2007, The Year In Sex (50% nudity there), Playmate Jessica Burciaga (her centerfold is the best part), and The Girls Next Door Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson. The Girls Next Door pictorial was the best of the four. This month interview is with Hugh Laurie and I must admit I have only seen two full episodes of House and yet I still read the interview. 20 Questions is with Josh Holloway of Lost and did not read by the way. Other articles are the lawlessness of Guinea-Bissau, The Whistle Blowers - the life of a football referee, and Peep Culture. Only time will tell if I like this new arrangement. Still Playboy's February 2009 gets an AAAAA+++++.

title: Neanderthal Porn

text:
So, there is actually a magazine out, that discusses how to cruelly catch our fellow living souls, in painful traps, where they linger for days in pain, get eaten alive by other wildlife, or get their heads chopped off by the trappers who then stuff them and admire their kill?

 This is why 'evolution' remains a theory, not a fact.

  That neanderthals, to this day, trap and murder innocent souls, and get excited about it, shows that evolution is still a work in progress.

What a disgraceful waste of paper this is. It isnt worthy of being a substitute for toilet paper.


title: Great mag

I've read this magazine since it was Stereo Review in the 70's.
Great writers but I still miss Julian Hirsch.
Used to review more music and videos each month.


title: Great Magazine!

text: Awesome.....always!


title: Gun Info

text: All the reading on new and older guns was most interesting. I learned very much and when it came time to make a purchase selection. I was well ahead of the knowledge of operating and knowing important information.


title: Wonderful magazine!

text: This magazine has so many great articles and recipes. I love that it’s “down to earth” with things that interest most people.


title: Reliably good

text: I subscribe to three mystery magazines, one science fiction magazine, and several other literary publications; I read and enjoy a greater percent of each issue of EQMM than I do of any of the others.  That should be sufficient praise!


title: Fantasy and Science Fiction as Literature

text:
I've subscribed to this magazine since I was 13 years old, back in 1972.  I've seen fashions come and fashions go; writers like Barry Malzberg that got published in Galaxy and Amazing but not in F&SF, while those latter two scoffed at the 'stuffy' little Fantasy and Science Fiction geekheads.  F&SF had Ed Ferman editing every issue, and he knew what constituted good literature.  Just good literature with a speculative or fantastic element.  So: Philip K. Dick wrote for F&SF; Stephen King writes for S&SF; Ray Bradbury would only sell to F&SF for a time.  If those three chose this magazine for its consistent quality, well, you might want to find out why.

Every issue has a story that you will remember long after you've put it on the shelf.  And believe me, you won't throw one out, so buy more bookshelves now.


title: I look forward to every issue.

text:
Some say that this magazine is the little sister to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, but I find this a false comparison.  The two publications don't publish the same kind of story.  EQ publishes a few excellent stories in each issue, and the rest are fill.  Some of the good stories could fit in an issue of The New Yorker or The Atlantic: they seem so generic.  Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, on the other hand, publishes fewer stories, but all of them seem to be of a higher average quality than I find in EQ.  There are some good noirs, occasionally humor, and all this printed in a far more easily seen typeface.  There are two or three fewer lines per page than in EQ, and the font is slightly different.  It's just easier to read on the cheap paper these magazines use.

My only complaint is that I have no option of having the magazine sent to me in a kraft envelope.  Every issue seems to have a damaged cover.


title: A unique weekly journal

text: There is nothing in the English-speaking world that compares to Die Zeit.  If you've seen recent issues of Time or Newsweek, it's sort of what they're aiming at -- but Die Zeit takes hours to read, while the former publications can be read in under an hour.  Die Zeit is filled with cultural information, news analysis, economics, new opportunies, business, and has always been known for its high editorial standards and excellent writing.


title: The world's most informative magazine

text: For those who are fortunate enough to have a working knowledge of German, Der Spiegel presents an astonishingly informative magazine every week.  Each issue has over 200 pages, with articles about politics, art, music, architecture, travel, technology, and just about anything else you might want in a weekly magazine.  Imagine The Economist at thrice its size, with longer articles, and written in German: that is Der Spiegel.<br />When I was still learning the language, I found Spiegel rather difficult to understand.  This is probably because it's not written for idiots.  Still, I learned a lot of colloquial German from reading it.  For those who are learning German, and those who speak it well, there is no better source of information than Der Spiegel.


title: Not liking this

text: This is one of those magazines that show how great your house could look if you had an enormous amount of money to spend. Frankly, if I had that kind of cash, it would be hard to make any house look bad. Be very careful with recipes from CL-I have found serious mistakes in them; not sure if they test recipes carefully.


title: What I like

text: I like the recipies and information about the chef's. I like the challenges between the chefs. Keep the magazine coming.


title: Great Magazine

text: If you want new recipes then this is a good magazine. Love it!!


title: good magazine

text: I've suscribed for several years, I like Cycle World better as it just seems more professional but Motorcyclist is OK. They have a chopped up format that makes it hard to track an article through all the way. They also assume everyone is a RicKy Racer type and that we all go to the track.<br />Still I send them their $$ every year.


title: I really like this magazine

text: I had had a previous subscription to this magazine as well as a couple of others.  I love this for DIY projects around the house, and I save them all! It is the only magazine I subscribe to. I always find some project I'd like to do in the magazine, and lots of helpful hints for projects like painting, etc.  Super pleased and reordered a subscription here.  Just wish it came out every month :)

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for over 20 years and have enjoyed it less and less. The all-too-common double issue was bad enough but now it's once a freaking month????! My favorite thing was the the What to Watch on tv section which let you know what was new and what was worth watching. Gone. New books coming out and the movies.... And instead they keep the recipes? Heck no. I'm out.

title: Food for Naught

text: So sorry to say, this used to be an excellent little mag for chefs and foodies alike. Now it has turned into this idiotic, myopic tribute to all things "new" (when they are decidedly NOT). Most of these new great things are proffered up as  "The New Steak", "The New Bread", "The New Egg". And all this newness is of course being invented in New York, with gen y and gen x, trying to compete with millennials to be the hippest, happening, horses*** you ever layed a New Egg on. The concept of true delicious, food imaginative recipes and unique ingredients is lost in the egos of the clowns running this little circus. And all this comes - after you get through all the "New" ads.


title: Five Stars

title: Well Titled

text:
This is a great magazine, and well-titled. The gardening it features is indeed more "fine" than that found in other magazines, with the possible exception of Horticulture (a tie, I'd say), as well as several British mags such as Gardens Illustrated (no contest, I'd say, although its wonderful prose and extra-thick glossy pages come at more than twice the price, and of course the British climate is not similar to much of the US except for coastal Oregon and Washington).

Let me illustrate from my bookshelf: the more middle-brow magazine (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Country Living Gardener has run a cover story titled "bigger, better dahlias; grow a rainbow of dahlias, America's favorite late-season flower" while Fine Gardening has run "ANTIQUE BEAUTIES: Heirloom dahlias, gladioli and cannas offer flower colors and forms unmatched by more recent introductions," and the Gardens Illustrated version is "Fergus Garret, head gardener at Great Dixter, on the exhuberant appeal of the fashionable dahlia."

OK, what's "fine" to one is snobbery to the next guy. If you want English-style gardens with an emphasis on perennials, or you have already read books by the likes of Christopher Lloyd (owner of Great Dixter), then you are more on the "fine" end of the continuum, (or "beyond fine" to British); if you want to put a wheelbarrow full of daisies in your front yard, or to brighten up your porch with hanging baskets of scarlet Pelargoniums, then look to magazines with "Country" or even "Redneck" in the title.

On a more serious note, one problem with all types of specialty magazines is that you will generally outgrow them. This is not likely to affect your appreciation of "Fine Gardening" all that much for some time, if ever, but of course those parts of any magazine which are essentially "timeless" will repeat over time, and will be redundant with your book collection, if you have one; while those parts which are news (such as latest cultivars, new diseases, truly new techniques) are naturally best learned from a magazine. Fine Gardening has plenty of the latter, as well as beautiful "garden porn" which will appeal to experts as well as novices.


title: Lucid articles, broad selection of articles on safety topics

text:
Aviation Safety, another fine monthly from Belvoir publications, focuses on a variety of safe piloting topics.  Where NTSB Reporter dwells on meticulous post mortems, A.S. may cover an accident then spend a lot of text suggesting how you could develop the appropriate technique beyond the theory you learned from your CFI.
For example, most aviators are familiar with the "demonstrated crosswind component" in the pilot operating handbook.  It's not a limiting factor, just what the plane was tested against.  Aviation Safety might have an article explaining how to develop your piloting technique so if you were faced with a stronger crosswind, you could operate in a less forgiving zone of performance.  (After practice, I employed this during a 30 knot crosswind at Billings, MT)
Like IFR, it's refreshing (pun intended) because they'll call a stupid procedure a stupid procedure.  You won't find pretty pictures of airplanes, but you will learn a lot.
