title: When awful bands are reviewed by Bohemian Ingrates.....

text:
oh yeah, I remember a time in music when people used to rush to the cd stores when they heard a song on the radio...the time when Joshua Tree first came out, or when I first heard Stand on BRU, and had to immediately go get the tape from the /spin/ shop in the college town, and yeah when really tiny bands, like Better Than Ezra from N.O., seemed to come out of nowhere, and throw the song, 'good' on the radio, and man music seemed to just drool out of my ears/// I don't know what happened really, maybe I discovered a whole other genre of music, ie. Tiesto, AVB, PVD, Ladytron, Carl Cox, Gabriel and Dresden, or I just dont have anything in common with the sad emo culture who makes bands like dashboard confessional out to be the new Iggy Pop, or on the same token these lemmings who crawl to the corporate swindlers FYE to shell out top sticker cd prices for the new Spears album...

...I remember when I first read Spin, all glossy and shiny cover with a bunch of no named bands, in which I could really try to dig and see who their influences were....I read it for awhile, but then one day, one month if I recall, it had the dudes from the /Strokes/ on the cover, remember, the really close up, tight shots, of the band members looking as if they just rolled out of bed or were going to a methadone clinic, and the same issue has multiple copies with the same content, but different covers with each member of the band, and if I recall, it said the 'Best Band of the Decade?? It had been some time before that, that I had laughed so genuinely hard. I was actually really angry, that anyone, anyone, that appreciates or writes for a music magazine, would ever have the tenacity or testicular fortitude to ever embarass themselves enough to write something like that. I mean here's a group of winey, college yuppies, who think of themselves as hard core, who review music from bands such as the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's? NO NO NO.

Spin is trash, (Fred Durst, on a cover? enough said, phttt) it's writing is sophmoric and save the personal opinion that the bands they review are more or less worthless, I simply cannot see how this magazine is still around after these many years.

EXCREMENT.


title: First

text: I love this magazine but I have not received my subscription yet. I am looking forward to receiving this publication.


title: Boring and full of ads!

text: My Dad bought this magazine for my mom and I usually pick up the copies to browse them.  That is all both my mom in her fifties and I in my twenties do browse it as it is a joke.  It is not that special it is chucked full of ads.  The cover stories are dull and boring and many of the articles you would want to read have about one paragraph good information.  I find this magazine a waste of our money.  It will not be getting renewed at the end of the subscription.  My mom has already stated that.


title: Changing....

text:
I tend to favor Self magazine over the rest of the fitness magazines out right now.  One reason is the variety.  I love that Self doesn't just focus on physical fitness but also on your mental, emotional and inner fitness.  I have had a self subscription for a little over 5 years and still am happy with the quality.

 I will say though if they keep turning it into a magazine about actresses (which my last 4 issues have been) then I will discontinue my subscription.  As I already subscribe to those magazines already and I want my fitness magazines to be about fitness.

**Also a warning I get almost all my issues the month after they have came out!  This is new as they used to be one to two months early!**


title: Shape magazine...

text: I was subscribed to Shape magazine for about 4 years and recently stopped because it is not for your average person who works out at home.  It is more for a person who bases all workouts around a gym.  I personally used to love this magazine because it was made for a person who wanted variety in their everyday workouts.  The magazine is just a hollow whole for many of us now.  I saw that other felt empty after reading it also and I don't blame them.  A lot of the workouts are not for people who don't live in a city or live in a gym.  And I do not live in either.  This magazine isn't for me but may be perfect for someone who love to work out in a gym and likes that structured workout.  I also found the articles to be a repeat of my other magazines and also a little more dry and hollow!


title: Best of the best...

text: I  think I like this teen magazine the best of all the teen magazines.  It wasn't trashy and focused a lot on clothes and fashion.  Which I love.  It also had other things typical of  teen magazines but it is a lot classier in its function.  I think this magazine also delves into your inner-self and not so much about how you look (fat, skinny, curvy) but that you can look great no matter what your body shape is long as you love yourself.  I think this magazine is worth subscribing to.


title: Changing....

text: Seventeen magazine has grown up a lot in the past few year...I am not sure how I feel about that as it tends to mirror the Cosmopolitan magazine quite a bit.  I just wonder how far is too far, because although people don't want to admit it magazines are a part of culture we all looked up to at that time in our lives.  To see the coolest clothes, hair and even questions we were too scared to ask anyone.  I still see that in Seventeen but I also see more sexually oriented material.  I feel some of the stories are stupid.  I still will pick up my sister's Seventeen magazine to see what they have to say and it is amazing how stupid we are trying to make our girls!  A couple of the articles that really fueled me were:  there was a girl who wore short (nasty) skirts to the mall and someone took a picture up her skirt.  When asked what she wears to the mall she answered the SAME THING!  She just wanted attention...that is one reason girls have problems.  Another one was a girl who wore lingerie online and was upset over men-and still has the website!  GET REAL!  What is wrong with the world when these are two of the stories that were main ones in the magazine?!?!  What are girls to learn?  Dress like a skank and get treated like one but continue it?  I don't know about this magazine anymore...I guess it is moving with the times?!  But, my sister still reads it mostly for horoscopes and the music/actors/actresses articles.  My sister said she will not be renewing her subscription  to this magazine after this year as it has turned to trash.


title: A great magazine!

text:
I love Glamour!  This has to be my favorite magazine of all times!  Granted the ads drive me nuts but I love the Do and Don'ts and all the clothes.  I am a shopping mogul!  This magazine is great for showing new trends and I love layering and almost always they are showing new ways of layering clothes and teaching you how to wear your clothes in a different exciting way.  I also enjoy the articles and life lessons as there is always something that I am interested in.  I read Glamour almost from cover to back!  I rarely skip articles!  If you like fashion and just articles on every life issues this magazine is for you!

**I have noticed a change over the last year in the magazine, but it is not terrible.**


title: Four Stars

text: Grand daughter simply loves this publication.


title: Best price out there

text: TIME is a good news magazine.  It's worth the price just for anything written by Nancy Gibbs!<br />Buy it just for a year - don't get the auto-renewal.  Once they get you in the auto-renewal program, it costs more, because they think you won't bother to cancel.  I just canceled mine and will just renew it myself every year, because then I can look for a good price!


title: This, I *Love*!

text: I am so glad I subscribed to this ! Lots of new patterns, and a good blend of big projects and one-nighters!


title: Just wish there was more to it

text: This magazine is cool, but seems shallow. I wish they went more in depth. Still, an interesting read every once in a while.<br />I recommend still.


title: If you're planning a trip to Britain, get a subscription

text: I've read this magazine for several years and found it to be an important source of information on every aspect of planning a British vacation. In each issue you'll get information on things to see, places to stay, transportation, everything you'll need. I think that it might be better than most travel guides (they're usually a little out of date), IN BRITAIN Magazine is the only magazine that comes close to it in providing a traveler with useful information on planning a trip.


title: Always something interesting to read, good travel reference

text: I've subscribed to it for about 8 years now and in most issues find at least one interesting thing to see or do, place to go or stay, lots of good material even in the advertisements. If you're planning a trip to Britain get this magazine because it will be a great help on just about any aspect of your trip.


title: xbox magazine falls short

text:
Even though I own an Xbox, I haven't gotten a subscription to this magazine because I find that, for the most part, GameInformer (which I do have a subscription to) tends to have much better reviews for Xbox games than the so-called "official Xbox magazine".  That being said, I do occasionally pick up an Xbox magazine from a local newsstand just to catch up on the world of Xbox mania, and I do admit that their coverage of the newly released Xbox 360 is quite exemplary.  However, I don't recommend you get this magazine if you are looking for the Xbox demo discs.  Why?  BECAUSE THIS MAGAZINE DOESN'T HAVE THEM (another reason for the 3-star rating).

Signing off,

Andy Olson


title: Nice magazine

text:
I bet all of you out there can find in your basement or addict old sports memorabilla from when you were a kid, or from some day when you went out with your friends or family.
How much is it worth ? Is it worth money, or is it a personal memory that is yours to cherish no matter what someone else is willing to pay for it ?
This magazine will help you find out, and the people writing it seem like a nice group of people, check this one out, its pretty good !

title: Not just for spinners

text:
I've been a subscriber to this magazine for over a year now.  I got it because I was interested in seeing what spinning was all about.  I was surprised to find that a lot of the articles in this magazine are not just for spinners, but also applicable to weavers, knitters, and crocheters as well.  Yes, a lot of the articles are about spinning wheels, spindles, and such, however there are also articles about sheep, silkworms, fibre festivals, and other things of interest to fibre artists of all kinds.

In short, I really enjoy this magazine and believe it has a wider audience than just spinners.

title: Wide-ranging, thorough study of military history

text:
MHQ is perhaps the most in-depth publication of military history that is regularly available.  The range of subjects span from ancient history and the battles of the Greeks, Romans, Chinese and others, to what has happened in the last 15 years/ Desert Storm.
Most of the authors are very experienced, and the names of most of them can be found in your favorite bookstore's History section.  Maps and photos help illustrate everything, and the magazine itself holds up a lot better with time than most thin-papered pages.  It is surprisingly durable.
I have used this magazine many times in preapring material for my history classes, and while it can by dry in some points, and certain topics aren't always in my interest area, its scholarly and informative efforts make it a far better than average magazine in its scope and quality.  In short, its biggest drawback may be its quarterly issuance, since it seems to not come out often enough.


title: Great magazine!

text: This magazine has great reviews, previews, and coverage of all games and systems.  The review system is one of the best and most objective.


title: I'd NEVER buy this again

text: The biggest issue I have with this is the way the publisher handled the renewal. I bought this for my 14-year-old son and he was sent a bill for the next two years worth of magazines once the introductory offer expired. We ignored it and he was then sent a threatening letter stating they'd take legal action if necessary. I responded and they piped down, but it was very unnecessary and unprofessional.


title: Great for kids

text: Great gift for a child


title: not bad.

text: This magazine over-all is not bad. However, it is not worth the money the subscription is asking. If you see one issue that covers something you are interested in, just buy that issue. Skip the rest.


title: Great reads

text: I've had a subscription to First for several years. Before that I bought it at the store. It is a fantastic read for anyone who likes things like "Hints from Heloise" or "dear abby" and other such columns.


title: Sorry.

text: I can't stand Rachael Ray. Sorry. I got the magazine subscription from a friend as a gag gift. And it was a gag gift. The recipes all sounded horrible, or, the ones I tried, turned out horrible. You want a good food magazine, go with Taste of Home. and stop wasting your money on this poser.


title: Fun, interesting teen magazine

text: Seventeen magazine covers most issues girls want to hear about and I love it! There are most embarassing moments, fashion, help columns and a lot of things to help girls if they need it. Every girl at my high school reads Seventeen and it has almost become an item to help one's social status! I find it entertaining and fun to read; I love Seventeen!


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine


title: Recipes Galore

text: I wasn’t sure I would like this magazine but it has exceeded my expectation. Recipes are easy to follow and taste yummy!


title: Don't bother

text:
Sub par compared to the past. It is now essentially fluff, lack of intriguing writing, and cologne ads. Reads more like a JC communication class assignment. Go grab a copy somewhere and give it a read before you sign up.

Also, beware of subscriptions through Amazon. I didn't notice the email and it renewed at a much higher price and it is being sent to an address I don't even live at.


title: Hemmings Motor News is a nice collector car ad book

text: Hemmings is not as big as it was 20 years ago but still offers a great selection of collector car information. A good resource for collector cars, parts and services nationwide. The online product is also good.


title: A haven for Democrats!

text:
A lot of this magazine is very good.  There are some smart articles in here, and some fun reads.  But to often if the writer or editor is able to pop a political message or bent into an article they will do so.  I don't mind this every so often, but there is a definite heavy bias to the left in this magazine without any counter balance.  I guess it would be the equal of having a liberal watch Fox News all day.  I first really noticed this with their supposed unbiased "election guide", it was any thing but laughably biased.  You could tell it was written by a team that was heavily fans of Obama.  It was mostly factual, but doesn't tell the whole truth if you catch my drift.

Then lately they have been parading excellent but heavily leftist folk through the covers, (Bill Clinton, Sean Penn, Tina Fey, George Clooney) Nothing in and of itself wrong with those people, but the sum effect between the people they focus on and the article bias; is that if you have views right of center, you are often left out in the cold or ridiculed.  Despite the common leftist bias of magazines, news, television and other media this magazine is a little more in that direction.  I am open minded, but would like a little less politics in such a magazine, and if you are going to go there, even it out occasionally or own up to it!

I would think their staff is so heavily leftist that they can even see where they are at.  It is still otherwise a fine magazine, better than most, but your going to enjoy this magazine a whole lot better if you voted for Obama.

In the end the political stuff wore on me, and some of the lightly lingerie clad gals who are beautiful gracing the cover, keep it from being coffee table fodder at my family home.  My subscription is now ended.


title: Cooking for the scientific-minded...

text:
While I am not professionally trained, I have attended many advanced cooking classes over the years and have built up a fairly decent repertoire of skills. I am proud to say I receive consistent praise for my platings and have been asked to demonstrate techniques or help out at parties. My wife loves to boast about her "live-in-chef". (She just told me to put that in) ;) If you are someone like me or an aspiring enthusiast and would like to understand why food prepared with the same ingredients but with different technique will taste different, this is the magazine for you.
  Additionally, the product comparisons have, I my opinion, have been spot on. Yes, other magazines feature products but none of the others really test and compare them against each other for fear of insulting their advertisers. Which brings up a another point: The reason the other magazines cost less is because their budget is subsidized by advertising.
  If you want lots of enticing pictures, mountains of advertising, recipes with little background or technique and want to save 8 dollars a year you could buy a different magazine and probably be happy with it.  If you really want to be a better cook, buy Cook's Illustrated.


title: Five Stars

text: Who doesn't love SI, cheaper than buying it off the rack.


title: 4 stars for the ads.

text: Too many medical prescription ads for the aging adult, otherwise it's pretty good. 4 stars for the ads.


title: fantastic magazine!

text: Love this magazine-I look forward to receiving it each month and read it from cover to cover-Oprah's awesome & what a great value-you get SO much for such a low, low price-I have given so many gift subscriptions, as well, and everyone has loved the magazine as much as I have! I must caution that delivery of first issue is a little delayed, but be patient-it's well worth the wait!


title: Not worth a Dime !

text: very unhappy with this magazine! I am a small container gardener hoping to get some tips and recipes. NO recipes!!! for ones produce. It is 80 percent advertising, while most help is for going off the grid and large profit farmers. I wish I could cancel

text: My favorite magazine at a great price


title: Five Stars

text: Perfect magazine for the west coast.


title: Great for kids.

text: Fast and easy service. The young man that received National Geographic as a gift loves it and reads the magazine more than once.


title: Sports Illustrated

text: I just started taking SI again after a fairly long break.  The articles are well written and I know the information is typically very accurate but dang, do the articles have to be soooooo loooonnng and detailed? Maybe it's me but I do not need every faction of any story laid out in this level of detail.  I probably will not renew the subscription, if I make the full year.


title: Slow starting but a good magazine

text: Sent to my brother-in-law as a Christmas gift.  He will like the magazine a lot.  Not wild about it takes until like March to start getting the magazine but a card is sent to my brother-in-law announcing the start so I will just deal with that.


title: Needs an Ummph !!

text: I am a life long Razorback fan so I subscribe to this magazine.  Honestly, it is just OK. There are a lot of articles that are just TOOOOOOOO LONG and TOOOOO DETAILED for me but, I keep renewing because I am a fan.  I wish the magazine could shorten their articles and cover more subjects.


title: Save a tree

text: Forgot I picked this up as a Today's Deal and will  not renew. Too much advertising and not enough food related stuff.


title: My daughter loves science and absolutely loves this magazine. ...

text: My daughter loves science and absolutely loves this magazine.  She usually reads the whole thing the day it comes.  Would buy again!


title: Wrong Coast

text: For some reason my electronic version has East Coast programming schedules when I am actually on the West coast.  I haven't figured out how to change this (although I thing there must be a way) and there were no instructions on how to do this.  When I have a free moment I will sit down and try to wrestle with this.  Also, the print, like the other e-magazine subscriptions I have, is very small and while I can zoom the magazine, I do wish I could change the display font size instead.  The electronic version has a page turning animation that's fun and is otherwise identical to the print version.  If I could figure out the schedule changing method, I'd be satisfied with it.


title: Print Version is Better than Kindle Version

text: although I typically love my Kindle content, the Kindle version of magazines tends to leave a lot to be desired.  The print is very small and trying to make it bigger (which you can do) makes it really hard to maneuver.  However, I do like the articles and taking the magazine on my Kindle makes it very easy to carry around on a plane, train or in the car.


title: Nice pictures. That’s it

text: This is some liberal propaganda


title: Love this magazine

text: I really love this magazine. I love the hints.  I find it clever and informative. I will miss it as I cannot afford to carry too many things as I am a senior citizen.


Has a few quilting ideas each month, but not that many.  About half the magazine is filled with advertisements. Kind of pricey for what you get.  Would have been better off to just buy a quilting book.


title: good

text: Raised on this mag, information is not as great as the 'old days' but still brings articles and products to view that you may not see anywhere else. Good to get the gray matter stimulated.


title: A 1

text: My favorite fashion magazine, because it’s fashion you’d actually wear not something so avant-garde it is not realistic!  Great info on beauty products a s well!


title: A1

text: A gift for my architecture design student daughter, it’s the best!


title: Excellent & pertinent news source

text: The essential news for "sane" news, instead of the yellow journalism and sensationalism printed in so many other media.  Very encouraging :)


title: Make mail more fun.

text: A gift for my daughter. She looks forward to receiving these in the mail.


title: Four Stars

text: Kids love the pictures


title: Magazine is fine but shipping time was awful

text: This magazine is ok - pretty basic vegetarian magazine. I ordered it as a gift for a vegetarian who just wanted new magazines often. She said it isn't anything new or amazing, pretty basic stuff.<br />The thing that got me is that I ordered it in JANUARY and the first issue came in JUNE. I realize the ship time said up to 12 weeks but not 25. That's pretty bad. Certainly don't order this if it's got a time stamp on it. This was a gift item. I thought I was ordering in time (3 months in advance of the birthday).


title: Fun & Many "Happy Place" Photographs

text: Fun to read with some informative articles but largely full of ads.  Photographs are inviting. Worth it for the low price.


title: How to get a boy to read

text: This is it--the surefire way to get relunctant boy readers engrossed in cool and educational reading.  My teenage son can usually find anything to do except read, but he reads this cover to cover and is always reading the highlights to me.  The perfect gift for boys who are fascinated with science, flight, or interesting stuff such as the account of a couple of chemists who use liquid nitrogen to make ice cream in 30 seconds--OK so you don't want them to try that at home, but get this mag for your young scientists.  They will love it.

title: Great mag for the guy/gal who knows anything more than "I want a Harley"

text:
This rag does a great job covering all bikes.  They are all about chopping bikes(hence the name)  I wish i had been turned on to them long ago.  They cover foreign and domestic bikes.  What they also believe strongly in is a billet barge is dumb.  I also agree.  This is for people who work for a living and work on their bikes.  You don't have to be Indian Larry's little cousin to know what they are talking about.  And there is always an article about how to hack something.

One thing that seems to be not too great about it is the guys writing editorials.  One guy hates the world and gets paid to dribble the same story every month.  And then there's the guy who goes on a trip through Europe it seems like every year.  But doesn't say anything other than "I am getting paid to do this by you, thanks for subscribing".  Which gets annoying.  All in all I love the mag though.  And both of those guys seem great, I would love to hang out with them, they just don't have any competition so they don't go too far out there in the realm of quality writing.

All in all dont use that as an excuse to not buy it.  I just don't want to write a review saying the rag is perfect, it isn't.  But it is the best out there by a mile.


It's just okay. Don't expect much when you order it through Amazon for cheap - pretty sure it's about half of their regular issue size.


title: Okay. I'll stick with show.

text: Love the show. The magazine is good.  I just wish the recipes in there were more doable without having to hunt down an obscure or ritzy ingredient.


title: Three Stars

text: Just ok.


title: Four Stars

text: Pretty good, like Rachel show better.


title: Five Stars

text: Magazine arrived on time and my granddaughter loves it.


title: Too materialistic, politically correct, and ad-filled

text: Lots of junk food recipes with two sticks of butter and two cups of sugar followed by weight loss product ad or other prescription drugs. I used to find interesting articles about making your own spa products and consumer-type articles on finding great deals. I find some of the articles to be politically correct propaganda. Some of the features are just infomercials on cheap clothes or unnatural "beauty" products. I don't enjoy it.  On the other hand, there are some healthy recipes and positive articles about people helping others.  Overall, it is just too commercialized for my taste and I won't be renewing.


title: Owned by American Express, T & L promotes spending at restaurants and hotels over culture

text: The magazine is not all that interesting...Too much emphasis on expensive products and  hotels,  not much about nature and culture.  I find it too materialistic and not aesthetic, artistic, or intellectual enough.  A recent "article" recommended a $1210 leather jacket with zip-off sleeves and $139 reversible jeans for a person who wanted to pack light for a festival...Sure...


title: Broad, worldwide coverage, but repetitive themes

text:
The multi-page special reports on various world regions or themes, as well as exposes of corruption, are the best features. The end of the year issue making predictions for the following year is very broad and interesting. The anonymously written articles are annoying. Why hide your opinions?
The magazine promotes lessening or eliminating corporate taxes and not raising tax rates on the rich, while promoting government-paid: training programs based on what local employers want, cash assistance for employees who move over two hours from a new job, intensive home visits with health and nutrition care for children younger than preschool, expanded preschool, and earned income credits contingent on work so as to discourage poor people from not having paid employment (instead of taking care of their own young children).  Who's supposed to pay for these programs?  The declining middle class?
Their promotion of unhealthy homosexual "marriages" and applause at the "gentle" decline of worldwide fertility rates from 6 children per woman in 1960 to about 2 children per woman indicates their population control agenda and distorted sexual viewpoint. Don't they understand that a population dominated by old people indicates a dying civilization?
I learn some facts and get some opinions here that I don't elsewhere, but their editorial slant is a self-serving promotion of the failed Washington consensus.


title: Boring and superficial with occasional outstanding investigations

text:
This magazine is stuffed with often decadent ads of expensive clothing, usually dull photos geared to readers in their sixties, and  parties featuring aging celebrities.  I usually flip through this magazine in a fairly short time.  However, every once in awhile there is a fascinating, heavily researched article.  The last I can remember is an indepth feature several years ago about the contemporary art scene before the financial bubble burst. Great stuff.  Otherwise, I can't see this magazine lasting another five years in print... Mostly flash, little substance.

Edit:  Add another excellent article:  April 2013 issue, A Tale of Two Londons, an expose of the City of London Corporation, a city within a city, where "lax regulation and lax enforcement" allow dirty money from, for example, Third World dictators, Russian oligarchs who fleeced Russia's resources, and  American bankster gamblers to escape taxes and laws from their home lands. Thank you for revealing what's going on, Nicholas Shaxson. People may wish to complement their knowledge of private central banks' rip-offs with Bill Stills' youtube video, The Money Masters and some books by Joseph Stiglitz.


title: A curated, aesthetic fashion experience...[edit] devolved into a catalog of ugly, depraved "fashion"

text:
The clean, color-themed pages are easy on the eyes.  The Lists, Chic on the Street, Gift Guide, Work the Look, Extras accessories, and Fabulous at Every Age are all artistically presented and united by colors, metals, and gems.  Although I don't like most of the individual pieces, I thoroughly enjoy looking at the way Harper's talented staff juxtapose and arrange them so delightfully. The Beauty section names reasonably priced skin and hair products as well as new spa and exercise ideas for health.

I find Vogue's ugly and decadent look in editorial and advertising pages repulsive and boring, with only occasional great photos. W wallows in kinky deviance. Lucky features inelegant, garish clothes that look like like a catalog of what clothing manufacturers have sent to be photographed.

Uniquely, Harper's Bazaar is a delightful monthly guide to current fashion.  Thank you, Harper's!

Edit: Over the last couple of years,Bazaar has morphed into another boring and depraved catalog like the others. This month's tip for twenty year olds: Take a walk on the wild side with inky tones and bondage details. So non-empowering for women...disgusting. I definitely won't be renewing.
Edit: December 2020 with a long subscription:  men in women's clothing, a puff piece on Planned Parenthood, which kills more unborn children than anyone else. So glad that this month was my last issue. Buh-bye, HB!


title: Commercialized glossy porn in ads and features

text:
I subscribed hoping for a wide-ranging view of fashion shows and contemporary art.  While there was an interesting article on an aging art auctioneer, several ads featured male and female nudes crouching or huddling in homoerotic poses.  One feature had garish clothes on models posed in front of small suburban houses...how quaint.  Another "fashion" spread had a young woman being kidnapped, a bag put over her head, handcuffed, and finally posed nude facing a wall.  Degrading and violent sexualized images of women.  That's not fashion...it's pornography.

This magazine might appeal to older people who came of age in the 1960s (plastic surgery article, gaudy jewelry ads) who "celebrate" the sexual revolution and don't think much of the dignity of the human body.

I can't see this magazine staying in existence much longer.


title: Perfect magazine for beginners as well as seasoned cooks

text: I am a 'challenged' cook but have learned dozens of tips,methods and great recipes from these classy and informative magazines.  I bought a subscription for my son, who is a fabulous cook (possibly out of necessity) and he scours each issue from cover to cover.  We both love them.


title: Marha Never Fails!

text: I have been a fan of Martha Stewart from the beginning.  I have just about every one of her books she has written! Her magazines are full of information for all ages and interests.  Her articles are very interesting as well as informative.  The recipes are mouth-watering, but not terribly involved.  The pictures are captivating and I find every issue an interesting read. Martha is a perfectionist and always delivers from the garden to the house and beyond!


title: Useful DIY articles.

text: This magazine has many articles that I use to maintain my home and great information on items that make repairs easier.


title: Home decorating

text: Sometimes too much advertising, but I suppose printing magazines is very expensive. Love the gardening articles!


title: Diy and home improvement

text: Home diy ideas are very helpful and especially like home repair articles.

title: All You Magazine

text: I really love All You magazine. It has a lot of great articles and great coupons.


title: Happy with it.

text: Happy with the Mag. Good crafts


title: Insightful

text: A+ best magazine ever.


title: Not Teeny Bopper or Grandma!

text: This mag is for my age group, not too old and not to young. It addresses fashion, relationships, health, and home all in a very interesting read. I'm 40 and it doesn't make me feel like grandma or like a college chic but a grown and sexy woman!


title: hmmmm when does it come?

text: The idea was great for a college student going into design and the hype was amazing...but we are unsure when this magazine shows up or if it shows up and I am feeling a bit underwhelmed about the whole thing at this point.


title: Five Stars

text: A great publication!


My son loves it. It is completely inane.


title: Not pleased!

text: Somehow I ended up getting the Spanish version of People Magazine. I don't read or speak Spanish so I am not happy!


title: Son loves

text: Son enjoys the magazine


title: Five Stars

text: Love the price and love the ability to order so easy on AMazon.


title: Five Stars

text: Great articles and information for the homeschooling parent. Very helpful to me on my first year of homeschooling.


title: Standard for a passionate art form- LOVE IT!!

text: This subscription is my favorite for my craft. I keep all issues & go back and back & back to review. There is always something new because as I keep expanding, different material is of interest. Lots of different angles on technique are offered. Tips and tricks. Love reviews of artists & their work!


title: Fantastic magazine

text: Love this magazine! Very informative, interesting articles, covers all kinds of health related topics. Would recommend to everyone!


title: Five Stars

text: I couldn't do without this magazine.  Always many interesting health articles.


title: Not the same magazine useless and political

text: This used to be a great magazine . I subscribed since the 80s. But sadly it’s not about recipes anymore . It’s not about cooking . All the features that made the magazine wonderful are gone . It’s not geared towards cooking anymore . It’s geared towards politics . And the politics seem to be only one demographic.  It’s sad to see a once great magazines go downhill . I’m hoping it can come back but I doubt it . So if you’re into cooking . This is not the magazine for you . There is very little here worth reading. I want recipes not a lecture .


title: One of my favs!!

text: Cannot go wrong with this magazine. What's NOT to love?!?!?!


title: ... over these magazines and imaging what it would be like to "be there"

text: I grew up poring over these magazines and imaging what it would be like to "be there". Now we are sharing them with our family and it makes my heart smile. They don't have the maps in each issue so that was a bit of a disappointment but still love the ooh's and ahh's. Heart font!


title: My favorite magazine!

text: My favorite magazine!! You can't go wrong, even if you don't live in the South :)


title: Five Stars

text: Great


title: Five Stars

text: One of my favorite magazines


title: Favorite magazine

text: if you like vintage/antiques & country, this is your magazine!  Read it from cover to cover every edition.  Costs a little more than most but is full of ideas


title: Five Stars

text: Great price for a quality publication.  Hopefully it’s as advertised.

text: Thank you


title: Great little scan of the sciences

text: Good quick scan of what's new in the sciences. I've subscribed for over 10 years  It use to be a 16 page weekly that had short concise pithy summaries of the latest news in science with reference to original source. It was clearly the best summary for busy folk or those just preferring a quick titillating overview. In recent years they switched to  a 32 page format every two weeks. At the same time the article quality seemed slip a bit getting more verbose and longer. The genre of the adds also changed. I'm guessing in response to economic pressures. In frustration, I looked for a replacement, but Science News is still the best broad field science overview I have found including science blogs available via Kindle. Most articles are still short at a paragraph or two to half a page with one or two longer feature articles. Relevant color photo graphs are also included. If you are at all interested, it is worth a try. I find articles that relate to work (Medical device R&D), that my wife, kids, friends and I discuss, and that relate to various books I'm reading. Besides entertaining for those interested in learning, I find it a nidus of serendipity.


title: Granddaughter loves getting in the mail

text: Time-tested, science-based magazine for inquisitive kids.


title: Travel like a Pro

text: Great articles, pictures, and advice.

title: Great Magazine

text: I first read American Art Collector while at art school and absolutely love it! I've bought a few American Art Collector magazines from various bookstores over the years but now I am a subscriber. American Art Collector is an beautiful magazine was gorgeous reproductions on glossy paper with well written articles. I love the mini articles on lesser known artists that I've never heard of, I love finding a great new artist!<br />I highly recommend it for artists and collectors alike.


title: Good Magazine, Horrible Customer Service! Beware!

text:
I ordered a 1 year subscription to this great magazine in February 2012. I received multiple back issues at the start of my subscription instead of upcoming issues (and the only new issue I received was extremely damaged) and then I was notified that my subscription was up in Nov 2012. I contacted Amazon and they put me in touch with the American Artist Magazine customer service, I told them that I did not want the back issues which I already own copies of but rather wanted my subscription to end in feb 2013 when it was supposed to. They told me that I had a 1 year subscription that ends in Nov 2012 and that they would extend my subscription to Dec because of the damaged issue I received! What the heck???

Amazon helped to cancel my subscription and get a partial refund but I will never receive a refund for the back issues I was sent that I already own. I am very disappointed.
Also, I was supposed to receive one more magazine and it never came.

(BTW, Amazon has been great the whole time, very responsive and helpful!)

I recommend the magazine but this is just ridiculous.


title: Look forward to this magazine every month

text: This magazine has helpful ideas and great recipes.  It is the only magazine I rip recipes out that I use over and over.


title: Gorgeous and nutritious!!!

text: Gorgeous photography, nice recipes -- fun to read!  I like that they are inclusive of gluten-free vegetarians like me.  And I am stunned and awed by the gorgous photopgrahy -- I have rarely seen a magazine that is so much fun to look at.  Also they seem to really "get" nutrition, which some food magazines do not.  My subscription to this magazine was at a bargain-basement price, so I got an amazing deal!


title: Arrived quickly

text: My parents had a copy of the Mother Earth catalog back in the day.


title: Worst among its peers

text:
I would say the quality of coverage is pretty poor. The articles are recycled from those which have already appeared on the web at [...]. Quite a large volume of the magazine is devoted to the advertisements, so much so, it feels as though articles are inundated with adverts. I would say that the articles are mediocre compared to magazines like BusinessWeek and The Economist.

I am not renewing my subscription.


title: One of the Best Out There

text: Love this magazine!  Lots of tips and recipes for all cooking levels.


title: Great ideas, tips and creativity

text: Great ideas, tips and creativity!  This is my 3rd time getting a script in the last 4 years.  I save a few of the holiday issues to get ideas ahead of time the next year.


title: Since I am a born & raised Texas...

text: This magazine is totally awesome! It covers everything from the panhandle to the valley. Only complaint is that I am getting sick and tired of them and the rest of the media re-hashing Lance Armstrong... ENOUGH already! LOL


title: Bad magazine, worse customer service

text: There are more ads than articles in Prevention, and the few articles are either only a couple of paragraphs long and/or are pushing you to buy some other Prevention product.  It's a total waste of money.  Even worse, the customer service is beyond belief.  The customer service website is nonfunctional--after a few failed attempts to log in, it will refer you to their 800 number.  Once you call the 800 number, good luck getting a human being.  Attempts to cancel my subscription have gone unacknowledged, and I keep getting bills.


title: Great

text: I love this magazine! I'm a Christian stay at home mom and this magazine encourages me so much! It helps to me focus on the things that matter. It really has helped me grow. It is very old school! Not sure if it's Mennonite or Amish but I heard about it from a Mennonite friend.


title: Lame Magazine without the Disc

text: I can't say I really like OXM or look forward to it's arrival every month.  The writing is rather bland and boring, despite their attempts at humor.  (Editor-in-Chief is Mike Salmon, former editor of the late great PCXL magazine, but his insanity has been tamed for this mass-marget publication.)  I like reading trying to pick out the actual facts from the fluff in their previews - it's pretty thin!  You'll find juicy info on Microsoft games and close allies like Ubisoft, but otherwise there's not much goodness here.  The screenshots are usually so-so and low in number, and the copy is printed in such large size I feel like I'm reading a kid's book. The magazine is thin enough as it is.<br />The demo disk is the main draw of the magazine, and since the Xbox still isn't as big as PS2, there are a few months when the demos are rather sparce.  To be fair, though, sometimes the offical PS magazine has a lame demo disk, too.  They make good use of the Xbox hard drive, though, with plenty of great downloads each month - maps, missions, uber-saves, cheats, etc.  One major rip-off is that they don't give subscribers the plastic thinpack DVD covers, but instead a boring old cardboard cover.  You have to pay $20 extra to get the plastic covers, driving the cost to almost $40!  Don't get this mag without the demo disk.  Check out XBox Nation instead.


title: Two Stars

text: Actually this one I'll cancel


title: Serious with extensive coverage

text: This is the antidote to American National News. This magazine covers the world with thoughtful, factual news. I find for a world perspective both politically and for business this is one of the few magazines left that strives to give you the facts on a broad array of subjects. If you enjoy BBC news --this is a nice companion. If you invest overseas (emerging markets) a must have.


title: Not as expected

text: Lots of nice pictures in slick magazine, not much how to do it content. Will not renew subscription.


title: Not like the earier issues

text: Magazine has shrunk in size since I last purchased it, not much content or articles. Will not resubscribe. disappointed.


title: Love this magazine

text: When I get done reading Nat. Geo. it gets passed around at work for all to enjoy. Who says people don't read anymore??  Also since i have a subscription I have access to Nat Geo. articles on line--BONUS!!


title: love readers digest

text: Good price, look forward to my little magazine


title: Real Simple

text: My daughter loves this magazine. I purchased this magazine as a Christmas gift for her. The first magazine was suppose to start in January. It did not. When I contacted the publisher about this, they told me it will now start with the March issue. I hope my year subscription will expire in March of 2011 and not in January of 2011. If you are giving this as a gift, remember to check with the giftee to make sure the subscription started when it was suppose to.


title: Gorgeous!

text: I love this magazine. The problem is, though, my daughter also loves it so I can rarely find it without digging through her stuff! The pictures are beautiful, the recipes are delicious, and the articles are very interesting. I don't often purchase magazine subscriptions because I ignore them when they come in the mail, but I will definitely renew this one! I read it cover to cover every time. It's very inspirational and a great price.


title: surprised

text: I haven't read reader's digest for a long long time. I was impressed by the variety and how relevant the articles are to today's lifestyle. Its a good read at a good price. Lots of short articles along with longer ones and some of the old digest's items are still there.


title: Couple of pages.

text: Meh. Thin mag. Not sure if I would subscribe again. I find at least one article that applies to my interest.


title: OK

text: It's a good mag but nothing like it was in the past.


title: Invaluable Source

text:
I have been reading IBD since 2000.  I am still on my free trial.  Just kidding, I get the used papers from my neighbor and do most of my reading on the weekend.  This paper is the publication that goes with the CANSLIM method of investing.  CANSLIM has a strict set of rules, starting with finding stocks with good fundamentals, then "buying right", then selling right.  In the beginning, I found it VERY difficult to follow the rules.  Human nature is emotional and I found myself holding a stock waiting for a comeback after it had passed the mandatory stop loss rules. I found myself cheating and buying a stock before the proper breakout.  But the rules are good and the paper and online resources will help you find the stocks that meet them. You must learn to become a computer, not a human.

Before you get your free trial do this:
1) go to Investors.com every day and (free signup for public data) review the market commentary and stock selection of the day, etc.  Do this for at least two weeks to get a feel.
2) run through ALL the free online educational data at the site.
3) read the O'Neil book "How to Make Money In Stocks".
4) From the book, learn to read the signs of the market to see if you are in an uptrend or downtrend.  (If there is a place that sells the paper, take a free look at the "Big Picture" spot on the top left of front page and see if market is in uptrend, correction or under pressure.
5) if you don't have the discipline to do this, don't even bother with the paper!

Some of the fundamental CANSLIM rules you probably violate all the time...
1) NEVER buy a stock when the market is in a correction
2) NEVER average down on a losing stock (but do average up properly on a winning stock)
3) NEVER let your loss exceed 7-8%
4) Buy right (good fundamentals first, then proper chart pattern and breakout).
5) NEVER hold too many stocks, you can't keep up with them and there are only so many great stocks (if your stock is not proving to be at least good shortly after the proper buy point, then sell it and wait for another opportunity or invest proceeds in a better stock you own (at proper add on point)).

If this seems odd, read the book FIRST!


title: Readers Digest

text: Yes I still enjoy this magazine, I don't read as much as I used to but this is a great magazine I keep in my car so when ever I go somewhere there is a wait I will take this with me to read while I wait.


title: I am an HGTV viewer and magazine addict.

text: I couldn’t find anything interesting to watch on TV after a hospital stay a couple of years ago. Flipping through the channels I stopped on HGTV and I've watched it diligently since then. My DVR stays so full from all the taped shows I sadly don’t have time to watch. I would watch it 7/24 if I could I love it so much. Standing in line at the checkout, there it was, an HGTV magazine. Couldn’t wait to get home and read it, look at all the beautiful pictures and read all the articles. I love this magazine and the TV station.


title: Great Mag

text: Love it


title: Easiest way to subscribe or renew with the lowest price !

text: Best way to continue or start a subscription. With the best price.


title: Still the best

text:
None of the woodworking magazines left on the market are as good as they use to be. They just don't have the revenue to do more in depth writing. Still for the money this is my favorite. It has a nice range of information and projects.
I got so burnt out on Craftsman style projects. That just wasn't my cup of tea. I am not into the mid-century look either but at least it works with more decorating styles.
I wish some of the projects would cover styles from the 30's and 40's.


title: For Knitter's only

text: After a decade I decided to subscribe to this again. I must say I was a little disappointed in the content. I always loved the historical information but it seems as if the projects in this issue were for knitters only. I will be waiting for the coming issue and see if how I feel then.


title: Giving Martha another try

text: Just started getting this again. I use to get it years ago then the magazine was over priced for what was in it. I am giving it another try. I just got the July copy and it didn't have much in it but most July or summer editions of magazines don't. I love Martha for Christmas and recipes so I am looking forward to those issues


title: Good for super healthy cooks

text: Best of the bunch. I ordered 3 cooking magazines and this was the best. That said I still haven't made anything, although I have enjoyed some of the stories.


title: This is NOT the wonderful magazine it used to be.

text: If you want to fill your child's head with so much advertising that they won't be able to deferentiate between ads and education, then by all means: reward this now immoral company with dollars. National Geographic has, apparently, sold its soul.


title: Receiving on time

text: I just received the current issue today


title: Full of Ads Not Enough Content

text: Full of advertisements and not any stories my teen was interested in. I know they need to pay for the mag with ads but it was crazy how many pages you turn and turn before you get to a story or article. I was not able to cancel the subscription they told me so I transferred it to another teen I knew who was really excited about getting it.


title: Now Celebrity Trending

text: Cancelled this subscription after I found how celebrity-oriented they are getting with movie stars on its covers rather than the food I wanted to emphasize. I hardly need more Gwenyth Paltrow and crazy untested recipes that aren't any good.


title: Good and easy recipes. What I have made has always turned out great!

text: Receive daily emails on recipes. Old and new recipes. Really good recipes! Haven't received my magazine yet.


title: Short reads

text: This magazine is a deal at any price.  However, I liked their old format better than the new one.


title: Healthy Readying

text: I enjoy a lot of the tips in this easy to read magazine.  They usually have an insert, which is one big ad booklet for the product they focus on for that month (I guess that's why the subscription rate is low).  Only con is that there are way too many ads. I second guess a lot of the information assuming that they are pushing advertiser's products but I've also learned a lot that has kept me healthier.  Not a wasted read.


title: lost their mission

text: like so many magazines the editors think what they have to say is more important than the purpose of the magazine. In Style used to be about fashion and style. Dress up a model, a celebrity and present latest fashion shows and red carpets...but not now. Now it's blah blah politics this, blah blah fad cause that. No longer is it a big fat picture mag full of fashion and fashion ads.


title: Five Stars

text: love it


title: Well worth subscribing to.

text: Subscribed to give the office team yoga lover; she loves it.  Anxiously awaits each issue I deliver.  She reads all the articles, and then throughout the month reminds us of the wisdom within and learned from it as we encounter situations in which the helpful articles relate.  So glad I subscribed; a well prepared mag well worth purchasing.


title: Too many ads

text: The few articles they do have are good, but the ads are 90% of the magazine.


title: great value

text: cant beat the price on amazon !


title: Great for lab lovers and owners

text: Good articles about our furry babies


title: save your money and don't buy this magazine

text: This magazine is pretty much a giant advertisement for equipment and vacations most people cannot afford. There is little if any useful information on actual backpacking. If you want to read a bunch of reviews of expensive gear and poorly written stories about other people's vacations then this is the magazine for you.


title: Great magazine

text: As an avid DIYer, I enjoy this magazine.  They have a lot of helpful hints and product reviews.  They seem to break down topics to make them easier to understand, which is good for me as I don't have much training or experience.  I also like how when they review or tell you about a product, they tell you where you can find it and give you a general idea on price.  It makes it nice for me as I build my tool collection.


title: Straight into the trash!

text: I was going to get a subscription to Harper's Bazaar after picking up an issue at the grocery store.  After I looked at the magazine and saw that there was not much on fashion mostly but political articles about far left politics including an article glorifying one of the "squad" members, I threw it in the trash.  Not subscribing to this garbage.  It used to be a wonderful magazine.


title: AWESOME MAGAZINE!!

text: EVEN BETTER THAN THEIR TV SHOWS!  GREAT IDEAS, GREAT PHOTOS.


title: love the magazine

text: includes lots interesting articles and music news. I don't read magazines enough so I didn't continue to subscription but like the magazine.


buying it online has worked seemlessly with my google account. i can easily see this on my tablet and i'm pleased.


title: We collect the annual recipe guides

text:
The BEST magazine for recipes and learning to cook.  Yes, we watch the food network on TV and this magazine is a great guide to keep us learning how to cook.  Recipes are easy to follow and we havn't found a bad one yet...

I like the auto-renewal.  It ensures that I'm getting the best subscription rate possible so I don't have to worry about finding the one bill where they offered me a great renewal rate.  Managing my subscriptions on Amazon is easy!


title: I wanted mechanics, not politics

text: I subscribed to PM for years and years, then lapsed, and re-upped my subscription. It's changed, and now it is political like so many magazines, and I was really disappointed. If they went back to just being popular mechanics, you know, projects and machines, I'd subscribe again. For now, well, I was disappointed.


title: Five Stars

text: This was a gift.


title: Two Stars

text: Only the special edition issues have cool information worth reading.


title: Well worth it! Love this mag and the deal even more.

text: I have already received my first issue - at a great discount. Love the deal. Only renewed subscription thanks to Amazon deal.


title: Magazine

text: Enjoy reading need more articles on German events


title: Arrives late or not at all

text: Love the UK version of this magazine. It’s absolutely the best!  However, you pay over $100usd for a years subscription and they can’t seem to get you your issue for that month. Mine arrive a month late or not at all. Disappointing and won’t be renewing.


title: Great gifts!

text: Great magazine and price!  Buy this as gifts for family members.


title: Auto-renewal is not so fast

text: The magazine is great but there was a lapse in receiving the magazine, even with auto-renenwal, so that's why it only got 4 stars.


title: Always liked the Money Magazine

text: No nonsense Articles and always educational and practical hands on advice!


title: Unimpressed

text: I love HGTV on TV but this magazine is such a dud for me. The content is much the same month after month (same formula) & most of what they show is so bright with so many patterns & colors that I find it very tacky. I really wanted to like it but it just doesn’t do anything for me at all!


title: Crochet magazine subscription

text: I find this a really well defined crochet magazine with amazing patterns and lots of new ideas and instructions, a good reference source as well.


title: Great for learning about a healthy lifestyle

text: I really enjoy reading this magazine.  I love learning new yoga poses - but even more so - I enjoy learning why the pose is healthy and what positive effects it has on your body.  I actually enjoy the advertisements, as well.  I like finding new products that are in tune with this particular lifestyle.


title: I miss Australia!

text: If you love modern design and are a fan of the Australian lifestyle, this magazine is for you.


title: LOVE this magazine!

text: This magazine has a lot of great receipes and articles about growing and making food!  I wish they would do more than 6 a year!


title: MAGAZINE SUSPENDED!

text: BUYER BEWARE! In the whole year of my subscription, I only received ONE copy of VegNews. It turns out there is a "battle" between editors or some such nonsense, and new issues have been halted.  Since this has been going on for a year now, I would HIGHLY advise against subscribing.  Now, time to try to get my money back.


title: Best sawing and fashion magazine, ever.

text:
I have learned sewing from this magazine, and I find it excellent.  Not only you get about 50 patterns for about $8 per month, but you also get an advance preview of fashion trends to come. This magazine is one to two years ahead of the fashion trends, and it has a beautiful, sophisticated but simple style.

The instructions are excellent. Not as detailed as if you buy a pattern separately, but they include extras that you usually don't have in pattern booklets: detailed technical diagrams, list of notions, and cutting layouts.  I find those indispensable and wish they had them in packaged patterns.

One drawback is the time you have to spend to copy the patterns from the pattern sheet.  However, when you get this many patterns in one magazine, this is a small inconvenience.

One thing to love: there are no ads.  All pages in the entire magazine are about projects and fashion.  All pictures of the finished garments are full page.  There are sometimes articles about fashion trends, and usually one "learn to sew" section where one of the patterns has very detailed instructions.

Highly recommend for all fashion sewers.


title: A magazine or a leaflet?

text: I thought I was subscribing to SELF magazine. Then I found out SELF has been out of circulation since 2016. I still kept this subscription. Self-care is a must-do now. I have a three-year-old healthy eating lifestyle, and I’ve lost ninety pounds worth of redundant flesh, replacing it with lean muscle. I also like to stay up-to-date in skincare tips. SHAPE was a good option — or so I thought. This is a leaflet at best. Too many ads and too little content. The articles are brief and insubstantial. This is what passes for a magazine these days. Sheesh. Makes me long for the YM, Mademoiselle and — yes — SELF days where we got great articles and thought-provoking pieces. It only costs $5 for a one-year subscription. I feel like I’ve overpaid. Will cancel before the year is up.


title: Still no magazine

text: Still waiting in the magazine to show up. Ordered two months ago and have only gotten an email about the online version on it.


title: Excellent magazine

text: I subscribed to this magazine and several other well known scientific publications at the same time. This was by far the best. I love it.


title: Very happy I got for Mom for Mother's Day

text: Purchased for my Mom who is 75.  She loves to get this.  But it did take her a couple of issues before she was comfortable with the size since it is a larger magazine than the regular print.  Sigh


title: One of the few I still like in hard copy

text: PM has been an interesting read for me for 20+ years and offers practical content for hand on folks as well as interesting reviews.  I have learned many tips and tricks over the years reading this magazine and really enjoy it in hard copy so I can reference the content in the future.  Its one of the few that I still subscribe to in this world where information and content is so freely available online.


title: OK Mag

text:
This mag is OK but I won't renew. Production values are high and the paper is thick and well printed.

It's not for me though.  I'm just a weekend warrior photog with a D-800 and a few nice lenses.  I like looking at cool pictures for inspiration and I like reading about new techniques that I can try.  None of that here.

This mag is pedantic and very academic.  It covers art theory, art history and the direction of bleeding-edge photography as high art.

Aperture magazine is for art professors and students who want to explore post modern photographic art and deconstruct it.  If this sentence appeals to you, subscribe now:  "It's fitting that Tim Davis shared Levitt's images with his photography students as examples of both levity and joy in the medium.  Davis, in a diagnosis in these pages of "photogeliophobia" -- fear of funny photography -- observes that photographers have tended to downplay their sense of humor while responding to a world full of unexpected hilarity."

The pictures are all way-out-there abstract.  Y'know, a black and white photo of gum on a sidewalk.  I'm sure that gum says something important about post industrial capitalism and the juxtaposition of concrete, dentists and third world exploitation; but I'm interested in how to do a good landscape picture in the snow without blowing all the highlights.


title: Great price

text: Some good ideas but lots of them I already knew. Hopefully it will get better


title: Great price for the yearly subscription

text: Has some good recipes to try that are timely.  Great price for a yearly subscription


I got this as a gift for my Mother In Law and she loves it! She's really into cooking and said this had so many fun recipes in it!


title: Quilting Arts mag

text: I love this magazine as it gives me any number of ways to combine art and quilting, my two favorite hobbies.


title: NOT packed with advertisments!

text: I have looked at many photography magazines - many of them are just filled with ads....not what an amateur is looking for. I wanted indepth articles, helpful tips and information to help me improve my craft. I found it here. I read every issue cover to cover and back again. I find helpful information in every issue. I highly recommend this magazine - even if you aren't purely an "outdoor" photographer.


title: Boring and repetitive

text: This magazine used to be a great read.  I could spend a lot of time reading the magazine and enjoying the houses featured.  Now, the houses and products all have the same decorating theme.  Boho and Mid Century Mod.  Boho and Mid Century Mod.  Over and over.  Every darn issue.  Ok, I get it.  The editors like Boho and MCM.  I don't.  Can you throw in some different styles?  Traditional.  Farmhouse.  French Country.  Anything except more Boho and MCM.  I'll give them another year, but if this trend keeps up, this charter subscriber will ditch the magazine.


title: I give this as a yearly gift subscription to a friend

text: It's inexpensive, it lasts all year and he loves it. That's a win/win/win in my book. Sometimes it is hard to find the perfect gift that a friend will like and actually use all year but Popular Mechanics certainly solved the problem. I put it on the automatic renewal program, too, (which can be cancelled at any time) so I don't have to think about it and he never misses an issue. Perfect.

text: Great Magazine. Interesting.


title: Five Stars

text: Perfect


title: One of my favorites�

text: Largely geared towards the rider attracted to the larger bikes capable of logging lots of miles. Seems to feature a smattering of sport bikes, sport-tourers as well as touring rigs, the larger touring cruisers and liter sized open-bikes. The commentary is often based on longer rides, as well as long-term tests, and they occasionally dig up stuff on the classic bikes of the 50-70s, for those senior riders who want a trip down memory lane. They do not always have the most technical of write-ups, but feature good useful information for the enthusiast who wants to keep abreast of what's happening... Not a squid or scene mag.


title: Not what it used to be

text: Used to be a great publication.  Not enough gadgets... Not enough articles for pro sports photographers or practical examples of 1DX and D4 usage.  IT could be a great publication with the right editor.


title: A favorite for years!

text: Superb recipes, interesting features, and a true sense of the Southern lifestyle. As a transplanted New Orleanian, I look forward to receiving my Southern fix every month.


title: Like the large print!!

text: Like the large print.


title: Four Stars

text: it was pretty good. I might get it again. Too many ads!


title: Three Stars

text: It was OK. I didn't renew.


title: Easy Way To Order

text: If you are like me you get far too many magazine subscription letters in the mail and in many case months and months before the expiration of the magazine. Plus some want you to sign for automatic renewal and that is when they trap you into a high renewal price in the future. i find entering an order on Amazon the easiest and quickest.


title: Excellant Corvette Magazine

text: If you are looking for a magazine about your Corvette, then I recommened this magazine. Much better that most on the market today. It is not inexpensive in today's magazine prices however well worth the price.Up to date mechanical information, great photos and several interesting articles in each edition. The ads I also find helpful in findng Corvett parts. I just renewed for a second year.

text: I received my first one today........great price and Handyman quality just as good as in the past.

I have NOT YET RECEIVED MY FIRST ISSUE OF Oprah magazine as promised.  It was to arrive during January 2011, but has not shown up.  Please explain!!!
SO how can I review something I have not received.  PLEASE REPLY AS TO WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY SUBSCRIPTION FOR
CLAIRE ELLIOTT

title: Esquire: A once- great magazine has lost direction

text: Esquire Magazine used to be something I looked forward to each month. Great reporting, terrific features, beautiful and innovative typography and design, and great fiction. Sad to say, over the last three years this magazine has undergone a transformation and become a sorry excuse for what it used to be. Terrible content, lackluster writing, ugly and uninspired design. I couldn’t wait for my subscription to run out, and I have many friends that feel exactly the same way.


title: LOVE THIS RAG!

text:
I let my subscription go for awhile and I'm so glad to be back.  The feature artist interviews are great and it is always cool to hear what other gear others are using.  The staff does a great job reviewing various equipment as well.

GLAD TO BE BACK!


title: You will not be disappointed.

text: The photography is beautiful and the articles are interesting and well written. With the first few we have already put several places to day hike on our bucket list.


title: so so

text: I ordered this to use as reference when we go to Colorado...it is good but, I am not sure I will subscribe again. Not sure if it is the magazine or if my expectations were not in line.


title: Memories of the good olld days

text:
My love of audio (later video) started back in the 60s. I still subscribe to Sound and Vision but it is a pale shadow of Stereo Review, Audio and High Fidelity magazines and their substantive reviews of music and equipment. Likewise the original video magazines are gone as well.

For some reason the British still have great magazines in all categories. Too bad they are expensive and not widely available here.

If you think the equipment reviewed here is expensive check out Stereophile land of $100k speakers and $10k phono cartridges.


title: Great for early teens

text: My girls (early teens) loved this! The posters, interviews, etc,  I "make" my kids read for 30 minutes every night before they go to bed and for my daughter with dyslexia, it is torture. She is more apt to read this as it is suited to her interests and reading is reading... I encourage it every way that I can.


title: Five Stars

text: Bought for dad for Christmas


title: Food and Wine and more

text: My only complaint is that when I ordered this subscription, I did not anticipate the delivery taking so long. It took over 6 weeks to get my first magazine. Other than that the magazine is great. It's packed with recipes that are so delicious and creative. It also has restaurant information, which is extremely handy when you travel or live in a major city (NY, LA, etc). I'm always looking for something new and the magazine helps me find it, recipe and restaurant wise.


title: Five Stars

text: My best friend is a crazy cat lady and she loves this!


title: Five Stars

text: My husband LOVES this magazine, he can hardly wait to read the next issue


title: Five Stars

text: My husband and my dad both love this magazine!


title: love this magazine

text: I love these magazines. They are really helpful and help you think of things that you normally wouldn't. They have many great ideas with cut sizes for wood projects.


title: Great mag, easy renewal set up

text: I have had a subscription for years but the auto renewal on Amazon makes it so easy.


title: I keep these magazines and the information is used for a long time.

text: My favorite magazine at a perfect  price.!


title: My kids love this magazine

text: My kids love this magazine. My 5 yr old especially likes the posters of animals that are in the middle.


title: poor quality

text: this magazine was a disappointment to me and my children. It has so little in it compared to what I was expecting. National Geographic is packed with so much info... this is a short small magazine. best part Amazon gave me a full refund with no hassle!!


title: Fun for Awhile

text: This magazine is fun for young girls (7-10) who love horses, but it's not so great after the first year.  The posters are great, but what does one do with them all?  It's hard to throw away a poster of a horse!  The information is good, but there is lots of advertising.  Lots of great photos.


title: My favorite coastal beach magazine

text: The Best magazine for a beach living, great pictures, furnitures, ideas and recipes.


title: Annoying junk mail ad infinitum

text:
I used to really enjoy BW when it was published by McGraw-Hill.  One year's subscription since Michael Bloomberg bought it was enough.  It is not the magazine it used to be.

Anyone who unsubscribes can look forward to a steady stream of junk mail arriving every few weeks forever.  My multiple attempts to stop this have been unsuccessful.  With his money, maybe Mikey can keep the USPS afloat single-handedly.  His brand of ethics are typified by the mailing I received yesterday.  In the address window it showed a "$219.50 Credit Adjustment".  Knowing this had to be a scam, I opened it to see the details rather than just throwing it away unopened.  It was "Actual Cover Price $249.50 - Credit Adjustment $219.50 = Revised Rate $30".

With business practices like these, I will never again be a subscriber.  Further, not one more penny of my money will go to the owner--an angry, arrogant, liberal, looney little tyrant with a Napoleonic Complex.


title: Mostly ads

text: Mostly ads I'm not interested in


title: Excellent for children but greatly disappointed with the product for the price.

text: This is a very skimpy pamphlet for the price.


title: Great

text: Magazines came within 4 weeks. Great price


title: Quality, Challenging, Interesting Puzzles

text: I've been getting this magazine for YEARS, but recently started ordering through Amazon. I love it. My husband and I both enjoy them--there's always a copy on the kitchen table. I've bought books of puzzles in an airport newsstand and/or found some on online apps and they are SO boring--too easy, lame lists, just... boring. They have more than just crosswords (a few word searches, trivia, etc.), but even just the variety of types of crosswords is nice: mixed doubles (add up the numbers for a pair of clues to know where the answer goes), siamese twins (two clues, which grid does it go in?), etc. They also have a few pages for kids sometimes, which would be great for the nieces, but I also do them sometimes when my brain needs a break. ;)

title: ROLLING STONE ROLLS DOWNHILL

text:
I was a teenager when magazines like Rolling Stone and Creme first hit the stands.  They were solely about the music, the musicians and the new releases.
As a young adult I bought a subscription that continued on for some 30 years more or less.  I used to love and avidly read the quality reviews of the new releases and even cut them out and stuck them with the album or CD case.
The articles were usually always interesting and the interviews were insightful and well written.

Things changed with the coming of rap and electronic music; things changed with a changing political structure and society in general , and where I used to devour each issue from cover to cover I was then finished with many of the issues in the space of a half hour or less.
Long, drawn out articles on politics and un-music related concerns became the order of the day and the magazine simply lost its mojo. Then again, so has much of the current state of music and the current performers who may be able to sing but have no idea what a real instrument is.  They may be good on their computer's music software and know auto tune inside and out......but who cares.
I long for the day when real rock and roll comes alive again.
When that happens, maybe Rolling Stone will, once more, find a heart.

Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts.


title: Five Stars

text: A deal of a life time,cheap!


title: Not as good a sports magazine as it once was

text: This magazine used to be my favorite till I realized some of the writers have never been outdoors.  To many mistakes on tips and firearm information for my tastes now that I have some wisdom.


title: Bassmaster used to be lots better

text: When Bassmaster first came out back in the early seventies it was more lure oriented and less contests between "Pros."  Now days the "pros" are only the dudes with a few sponsors and the cash for playing with a big boat.  Gone are the skills necessary to enjoy the sport like How to make the morning coffee before the first cast of the day.  The How Too articles are few and it is mostly about egos of the young guys catching bank runners.  Guys like Bill Dance, Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston and Uncle Homer are not featured or have their knowledge shared in its pages.  I subscribed after finding other better things to occupy my time but now that I have more time sitting on the dock, I was hoping to find it more entertaining.  It isn't but it is all that is out there.


title: Read one, you've read them all.

text: This was cutting edge years ago, but lately the magazine is repeating itself with old information.  The art work is great and so is some of the info if you never read one before.  There are a lot of advertisements for products that they offer in their online stores.  There is nothing in these that is entertaining, little humor, lots of emphases on only production fishing and that take the fun out of it.


title: Five Stars

text: I love this magazine.


title: The Kindle edition can't be read on your PC

text: While I've been a Maxim subscriber for years I was not happy to learn I could not read the Kindle edition on my PC.  There are a couple of Kindles in the house but they're pretty much spoken for and my smartphone is just too small for purposes of reading so this was a bit of a letdown.


title: ALL ADVERTISEMENTS!

text: When a magazine has very low cost to get started that should be a red flag! These magazines are mostly ALL advertisements! I went through and tore out all the pages that had advertisements on both sides and it took out about 3/4 of the magazine! And the rest of those pages had advertisements on one page or half the page. Big rip off and I have since switched magazines!


title: Hard to find this magazine

text: Best airsoft  magazine  out there.


title: Recommend

text: I love this magazine.  Good recipes, good pictures of the recipe and good articles.


title: Five Stars

text: Makes me hungry just turning the pages.  The first issue arrived quicker than I expected.


title: Excellent Information

text: That's it in a nutshell.  Excellent information.  I keep all the past issues because what doesn't strike me as necessary info right now will no doubt be beneficial down the road.  That, my writing friends, has proved to be true ... over and over and over.


title: Looks great!

text: I ordered my subscription early January and have already received my first issue (winter 2019), so I was pleased with the speed of the delivery! Flipping through it, I like what I see. Lots of great looking recipes...that are healthy! I don't do dairy and there are many naturally dairy (and gluten) free recipes, and suggestions on substituations. I really like the 7 day meal prep section. I am happy to be receiving this subscription!


title: Great Magazine

text: This magazine is extremely informative for all fish lovers/breeders/ etc..., (I Highly recommended it to all fish business/wholesalers, and of course hobbyists).Great photo's of many different fresh/salt water fish and their co/hosts(inverts etc...)I think it stands out as one AWESOME Magazine!!


title: great

text: Great books got a lot of good recipes in it and she makes some very easy to make


title: Cooking magazine

text: Love these magazines.


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoy


title: in formative

text: I watch all three of the abc soap shows so I read the magazine from front to back . all great pictures


title: nice to have

text: I had no tv guide during the summer because nothing was on that I wanted to watch but I did want to hear about the new shows coming on so I started taking it again. Glad I did. It is full of infor about all the new shows.


title: good

text: I have been reading this magazine for many years. The info is up to date. Good soap magazine for true fans


title: info is old

text: Some good information but a lot of it is old & if you watch your show you know what happened before the magazine arrived. fans want to know what is going to be happening.


title: not worth bothering with

text: this magazine doesn't tell you much & the little bit it does has already happened so if you watch the show you already know


title: Articles of Interest, But Flawed Investment Advice

text: To be honest, none of the big business/investing rags seem to do a very good job with a crystal ball. So I would caution Fortune readers - read for interest, read for fun, but don't bet your savings on "Best Picks for 2012" headlines. As a for instance, while the S&P 500 was up 15.1% in 2010, the Fortune "10 Best Stocks for 2010" returned 2.2%. Great headline, poor advice! For more on the big investing magazines predictions vs performance, check out the Ric Edelman article -[...]


title: magazine review

text: A lot different from the smaller version I grew up with but helps with watching TV. Sometimes what they have in the Guide and what is on the channel does not always match but most of the time it does. I am sure they print what information they get from the channels and it seems that when they don't have information the just put channel information so they have something to put in the time slot. If you are looking for something to help with watching TV then this is it.


title: ABC Soaps in Debth

text: ABC Soaps in Debth contains the type of articles I enjoy reading about General Hospital as well as the soap operas on other networks in minimal detail.  It contains information on the stars as well.


title: Two Stars

text: Too biased not really great backing of information


title: Lost Focus

text: Any more the mag seems to be pasted together from almost all freelance contributors.  It has lost the "here is how to" d.i.y. article feel for homeowners.


title: Five Stars

text: Kids are enjoying it


title: Stay up on latest technology

text: Best magazine EVER!  forward looking, helps me stay on top of technological advances.


title: Good for grandmas, too

text: I love this magazine.  Full of articles not just for guys, but for gals with inquiring minds.  I am a 63 yr-old grandma  and I love this magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: Great deal.


title: Wonderful magazine for Kids!!

text: So pleased your publication is available for me to purchase for my grandson. My children loved all the stages of Ranger Rick and now my grandson will too. Please keep up the good work.


title: Four Stars

text: As promised


title: Absolutely enjoyed by my husband!

text: my husband loves it!


title: Just can't get into this magazine for some reason personally!

text: I get many magazines and for some darn reason this one just doesn't cut it for me! It's filled with lots of good stuff - but it just doesn't grab me - like HGTV magazine say does/or would!


title: One of my Favorite Magazines

text: I have been getting this since the first issue and many dollars less was the script (but that's everything out there pricing going up and up).  It's not that expensive and is just packed with great tips and ideas - I've now given about four subscriptions away as gifts to friends.


title: it's a great magazine.

text: Yes, it's a great magazine.


title: Two Stars

text: To date, I'm still not sure this magazine is saying, so I canceled it.


title: Gone left and unscientific

text: This once outstanding magazine has drifted left in outlook and bias.  Articles reflect this bias, and worse now many are closer to science fiction that science fact.  After many years as a subscriber I am saddened by the continuing decline of this publication and will give American Scientist a go.  By By (Un-)Scientific<br />American..... visit my mail box No More!


title: Narrow in scope

text: Covers stuff related to society more than science. Most science is abstract, or at least not applied in nature. This magazine focused too much on technology rather than science. As someone who studies nature, it was a bit off-putting to ignore entire fields of science. Covers ‘flashy’ science that may not necessarily be correct but is ‘sellable’. More of a technology magazine than science magazine.


title: Love it

text: Big fan of the writing..


title: Poor Customer Service, Tiresome Format

text:
I subscribed to Cooks Magazine some years ago, back when it  began publishing again.  I had problems with issues that failed to arrive, and wrote to them about it - never received a reply or any note of concern.

Since that time, I occasionally glance through it at newsstands to see if there are any articles of interest.  Even by dint of casual glance, I've begun to tire of the formulaic articles in which some drone takes me on a torturous journey through the addition/deletion of various ingredients in order to finally arrive at the "perfect recipe". I now skip right to the "perfected" recipe, and decide whether its worth committing to memory.  I should mention that some of the "perfect" recipes are mediocre - after all of that torment and flailing around.  Some of the explanations for the success or lack thereof of the inclusion or exclusion of a particular ingredient are not well thought out.  They should keep a copy handy of one of Harold McGee's excellent books on the Science of Cooking.
There are also two other areas of this magazine that have disappointed me:

1.  Product Reviews:  They range from just plain wrong to idiotic.

The KitchenAid Pro 600 stand mixer was hailed by Cook's as the best in its class for many mixing chores.  Yet, Amazon reviews tell a different tale - one of a short lifespan when used to mix bread dough because of a plastic gearbox cover that deforms and finally comes apart, a fatal event that allows the metal gears to separate.

Christopher Kimball (the editor) once made an evaluation of cookware in which he calculated the price of the cookware per pound of its weight.  No, I'm not joking.  In that evaluation, Le Creuset was deemed a good buy simply because it was heavy, and therefore cost the least per pound.  All-Clad, even though it conducts heat very evenly, suffered for not having as much heft, and therefore was judged pricey on a pound weight basis.  I might add that I have Le Creuset and All-Clad - both have great heat distribution - but why penalize a saucepan if it can distribute heat as well at half the weight?  It seems as if Mr. Kimball likes to come up with comparisons just for the sake of developing ratings, but not necessarily to measure anything relavent.

One issue of Cooks boasted on its cover "Unsweetened chocolate -supermarket brand beats others".  Apparently, Hershey's was designated best.  Not too many months later, Callebaut Unsweetened was recommended above all others, and Hershey's was judged barely acceptable.  Feeling manipulated yet?  I've always used Callebaut unsweetened and bittersweet in cooking.  Pity the poor soul to takes these capricious ratings seriously and sprints out to the store to buy the latest and greatest, only to find that the same product is at the bottom of the list a few months later.

2.  Finally, there are those dreadful editorials by Mr. Kimball.  Rambling, painfully written, Mr. Kimball seems to be a Garrison Keilor wanna-be.  I recommend that he take a lesson or two on writing from Ruth Reichl.  In contrast, Mr. Kimball writes as if he is chanelling Helen Gurley Brown, but donning red and black flannel watch-plaid and without her sense of play.  If I read another story about 'old Mr. Jeepers' down the road or the local square dance....yawn.

title: Five Stars

text: Great price. Love redbook


title: I never recieved it.

text: I would not know if I enjoyed my subscription because I NEVER RECEIVED IT. not one copy. now they want me to re-subscribe. UH...NO...thank you.


title: WARNING-UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES

text: Subsequent to my review (below), I was notified that CR was charging me for digital access to their website.  I only subscribed to the magazine.  CR's notice also reminded me that they continue renewing that service automatically unless I intervene.  I canceled such service in the past because I have a problem with auto renewal.  I feel no less kindly to it now.  I've now canceled my sub to the zine, and probably have to hack through customer service to prevent charges to my card.  Doesn't change my previous critique:<br />I thought I'd try the K version of CR, and essentially I like it.  But CR doesn't do well with the conversion of print to e-text.  They don't bother prepping for the e-version is my guess:  they just throw it out there, warts and all.  The read has problems with percentage figures, which for CR is a hindrance.  Words with "ff" (e.g., "offer") have a problem:  the ff becomes a period.  Other little glitches in text conversion are annoying.  The index does not follow the section being read:  it's stuck wherever you looked at it last, I think, so you have to go looking for where you are; even the local newspaper (which screws up a lot) got that one right.  I'm reading a zine purporting to be experts on products, and theirs has flaws suggesting they've never actually read the output.  Quality control experts, improve thyselves.


title: Very Interesting reading

text: Wired has articles for now and the future. Some of stuff may be what we are doing in the future and has timely articles for today. Both print and ebook form allows cutting out and saving some of the information for the future. Forget the hat it is cheesy.


title: Read entire review

text:
My mother & I had many times jointly reading HGTV magazine.  I had purchased one before my trip to the nursing home to see her. To my surprise she was having a fantastic day…awake, alert, feeding herself & eating everything on her tray. It was a great visit.
After that visit I ordered this magazine for her & a golf magazine for my father.  This magazine arrived a few days ago. Really great speed since I ordered it, but my mother died July 11.
I haven’t looked at the magazine yet. It’s sitting right beside me.
I will enjoy the magazine….even if my Mom didn’t get the chance. It really is a great magazine if you watch HGTV and their type of content

title: Minimum content because of Covid

text: Think because of COVID the content is a filler with little value

title: automatic renewal:

text:
THis is a BAD idea for comsumer but GREAT for magazine company.
If I like this magazine I will renew on my own.  At one time
magazine companys did this for comsumer, myself included, but
I did not realize this was a policy of the magazine company;
therefore, I wondered why I was being billed for annual magazines.
After researching the situation, I realized what the NEW GAME was.
Again, automatic renewal a bad idea.


title: Ads mostly

text: Mostly ads of pretty pictures of things no one can afford.


title: Good pictures

text: Good pictures. Lots of ads to pay for pretty pictures.


title: Good gift idea

text: Worked out well giving this as a gift to a young cook friend. Just watch out for that auto renewal

title: First Issue Arrived Today 10/13

text: I ordered this a couple months ago. A friend brought this to my attention. Both my wife and I are readiung the issue received and like very much.


title: Informative

text: Love the content<br />Lots to read


title: Their year subscription is seven issues. They don't hide ...

text: Their year subscription is seven issues. They don't hide that fact but it's not made real clear. I knew this going into the subscription...but in my year of subscribing to the print and digital issues I only received two digital and around four print editions. Even with the lack of getting every issue I paid for I found the content lacking. I learned nothing new from any of the articles during my subscription. The most common thing in the magazine is ads by Family Tree Magazine to buy other products and services from them. The number of their own ads in their own magazine for their own products was in my opinion way over the top. To sum it up it feel that I was under delivered on the number of issues I was due, the subscription price was too high and the content amount was too low and the amount of ads was too high. For the amount of ads for their own products they should give the magazine out as a ad flyer that happen to have a few basic articles thrown in to pretend to be a magazine with real content.
