title: Looks great but my kids didn't read it

text: Like all of the magazines from the folks that bring us Cricket and Spider, this is an attractive work, full of diverse types of stories and artwork.  Unfortunately, however, too many of the children I know (my own included) find it uninteresting, perhaps due to the lack of recognizable characters or even the zing of advertising.  It's a sad state of affairs, but I wanted to speak up and suggest that other parents/aunts/godparents maybe get a trial copy to run by the kid in question, before committing to the ongoing expenses of maintaining subscriptions here and there.  Good luck all!


title: Happy

text: I gave this as a gift subscription and my friend has been very happy with it.


title: gift

text: I gave this to my 12yr old granddaughter for her birthday and she loves it!  And it will be passed down to younger sisters


title: My husband loves it.

text: My husband looks forward to this magazine every month.  But I hate it because he finds a new "I WANT!" item or 10 every month.  It really is a great magazine.


title: Three Stars

text: Seems like there are as many ads as there is magazine.


Still a good magazine after all these years.  I am 64 and find enough in RS to satisfy my curiosity about the old rockers who are still rocking.  I pass the issues along to my 26 year old niece who also loves them.  RS spans all age groups and gives us all something to enjoy.

text: It okay

text: What, me worry


title: It's ok

text: I've received only 1 copy...nothing in it I care to make, but looking forward to coming issues.. I wouldn't count it out at this point.


title: very good, unusual recipes

text: Lots of good cooking instructions and good-tasting recipes.  I've subscribed for several years


title: Fun on many levels.

text: My 7 yr grandson loves it when this magazine shows up. The photographs are superb and the text is intriguing and fact filled. He has the choice to read it on his own or to have one of the adults read it to him. We all enjoy this magazine tremendously


title: Paper copy

text: My son enjoys this in prison. Magazines are the only thing i can send him. I'm glad they still make them in paper copies!


title: Content is so-so. I find outdoor photographer to have ...

text: Content is so-so.  I find outdoor photographer to have more about improving photography rather than promoting GAS (gear acquisition syndrome).  But at the very least, it's photography centric.


title: Great magazine

text: My wife loves this magazine. She reads it pretty much cover-to-cover. There is nothing newsy or political. Nothing one feels constrained to 'mull over' or figure out. Just beautiful pictures that remind you of what a beautiful country we live in with some creatures that provide us with humor and pleasure.


title: Great magazine

text: Was getting New Yorker on my Kindle, but missed the color and leafing through a magazine. Great magazine and excellent service provided by Amazon.


title: Ten year old son enjoys this magazine.

text: Great magazine for older kids.  Lots of information that is presented in an interesting format.  Our ten year old looks forward to this magazine.  I don't like to cram anything educational down his throat...school is tough enough.  I thought this would be an interesting and fun way to learn about things not in his school curriculum.  When it arrives in the mail, I leave it in the family room and let him pick it up at his leisure.  He usually reads it cover to cover within a couple of afternoons while eating a snack.  No pressure...he genuinely likes it.  :)


title: Rip off

text: Bought a 1 year subscription for $10, yet the second magazine has arrived with a renewal notice, so it seems i have paid $5 per magazine :(


title: An Excellent Resource

text: This magazine provides good "go to" information for the beginning photographer; tips on equipment, getting the best shot, etc.  Its one to save for reference.  I am enjoying this subscrioption.


title: The first, the best

text:
In 1990 I started homeschooling my three younger children and continued on until they received their high school diplomas in 1998.  For all but two years of that time, all of it as a snail-mail-dependent, pre-overseas-Internet military family in Europe, my regular homeschooling support was Home Education Magazine.

Although they didn't know it, the magazine's columnists and writers held my hand through my ups and downs, gave me ideas when I needed them, and reflected back to me many of my own situations but with a twist that always gave me insight.  I found mailing information for catalogs from which to order our materials, and even a school for when the kids got into high school and we wanted transcripts and diplomas.  Every two months the mail clerk delivered my homeschooling lifeline.  Other magazines had information, HEM had heart.

For the two years when a support group was available, the magazine provided inspiration for the newsletter I produced, and is continues to do so now for my website.

The homeschool-support world has grown with the expansion of online connections and my kids are grown, yet my subscription continues.  It just might come in handy with the grandkids.


title: Subscribed For Years

text: I enjoy this magazine for the practical view on lots of things - home, health, beauty - but also gives enough edge to keep things current.


title: Dont bother

text: The schedule is wrong as often as it is right. Total waste of money


title: This magazine is very informative and entertaining.

text: Great magazine.  I enjoyed reading the different articles and recipes.


title: Five Stars

text: I'm sure you already know this magazine is phenomenal... and I agree!


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine for travelers, gardeners, and and lovers of the outdoors


title: Pointless

text: Yes magazine was One time a very good magazine. Now it is just a politically biased garbage rag that has very little to do with entertainment. Gag.


title: It’s well worth the money!

text: The articles in the periodical are far ranging. They help you to learn jargon specific vocabulary. The definitions of unfamiliar vocabulary below the article are helpful. There is one article, in the periodical, that uses French words to define the French words that are in the text. These definitions stretch you even more with the content. I read and reread the texts often for reinforcement. I wholeheartedly recommend the periodical for learning French and French culture.

text:
Article, ad ad ad ad ad, article

But isn't that the way of most magazines?  I wont renew the subscription to be honest


title: Advertisers get positive reviews

text:
I've noticed a pattern over the years with Philadelphia Magazine: The biggest advertisers get the best reviews. The best restaurants who do not pay for add space, do not get good reviews or the "Best of Philadelphia" placards. I would not buy this magazine nor would I read it any more even if it were free. Get the "Philadelphia Weekly" or the "City Paper" for the most current advice on what to do and where to go in Philadelphia. They are what the "Village Voice" used to be: gritty, down to earth and very irreverent toward things we're supposed to like.

I followed the bad advice of Philadelphia Magazine for the last time years ago. People who've lived here in Philadelphia for a long time, and are in the habit of going out, do not respect the integrity or quality of this magazine. I'm only reviewing it because Amazon insulted me by asking me to subscribe.


title: frothy and delightful

text: I love W magazine in all its oversized glory. Its frothy with articles for the affluent, gorgeous photography, celebrity interviews and other frothy delights. It aims for the affluent and its unabashed in doing so. Its amusing that certain people review on Amazon.com with their personal rants that have nothing to do with the product at all. If anyone works hard for their success then why should they be abashed for enjoying the good life and beautiful things? Its these people that W addresses, and its frothy and I'm going to enjoy it for all its frothiness.


title: Always great

text: Always great


title: 2.5 stars. i am surprised that this mag has a 4-star rating on here.

text: i have been reading GW since it came out and have kept most of my issues from the 80's and some from the 90's and 00's. at their peak of greatness they offered 5 brand new tabs every month. we now get 3 tabs, only one of which is new (trust me, i have the old issues with other 2 tabs in them). i get it, tabs can be found on the net for free and GW doesn't want to pay someone for hours of transcription work. i am sure that isn't cheap. however, there are loads of good songs that have never been transcribed or are poorly tabbed online. GW could get some fan base back by researching these and then paying someone to tab them out. and/or do a poll of your readers and ask them quarterly what songs they most want to see tabbed. the mag isn't all bad. the lessons are really cool and the articles are well written. after i frown at what songs are tabbed, listed on the cover, i am brightened up by the articles and gear reviews.


title: The Naples Pie:  crumbs held together by a lot of dough

text: There are many "Naples" in SW Florida.  If you are among those west of 41 and south of Vanderbilt....have a yacht, private plane, eschew wine under $300 a bottle, own $1000 shoes, have more than $500k in the garage and shower your wife and/or significant other with jewelry ... Than this is your magazine.  See lovely photos of wealthy people in various states of sobriety ... All sporting the latest fashions from overpriced shoppes on 5th ave South .... supporting their favorite cause with a flick of the checkbook.  Only magazine that smells like caviar.  Nicely photographed and produced on lush paper, this oversized publication needs a large mailbox to match the egos inside.


title: Two Stars

text: canceled it


title: Five Stars

text: Great Mag


title: At least 90% ads

text:
Unbelievable amount of ads.
For $5 a year it is ok but do not plan on much real reading material.
A few good reads but unless you plan on spending $3200.00 on the jacket they recommend so that you are fashinoable do not plan on much help with clothing "details"
Completely out of touch.....but on the up side, with all the cologne ads it is the best smelling magazine ever.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good information when rebuilding cars


title: wanted to try magazine.

text: was not reading it


title: Tough to beat

text: This is just a great magazine for all outdoorsy people.  I like that it highlights trails in my State (Washington) and seems to consistently do so throughout the year.  It seems to achieve that personalization for many other States as well. Great gear review and decent on-trail recipes.


title: Ad infested useless magazine.

text:
1. Too many ads.
2. Too many "articles" that are really ads.
3  The useful tips  they provide are mostly thinly disguised ads.
4. Hard to sort or read through the magazine because of the ads.
5 . Too many magazine subscription cards.
6. Too many ad cards. Takes 5 minutes to tear these things out.
7. D I mention the ads?

There are perhaps two or three articles in each edition which have some value. The ads negate those I ended up hating the magazine.


title: came quickly! summer reding!

text: love their articles


title: More "glue gun" than DIY

text: It's a good magazine, but it's more of a crafty/ decorating magazine, not the DIY/homeowner magazine I expected it to be. If you're into painting, papering, and occasionally building something, it's great. Not a "home fix-it guy" mag.


title: Five Stars

text: fun magazine


title: Great Value

text: Great magazine at a great price!!


title: Deceptive & Terrible

text: I thought I was purchasing a 6 month subscription. No it was one magazine for $10.00 so misleading...terrible does not even cost 10.00 an issue in store.


title: Just received first issue...

text: So far so good. It has some very interesting articles and some tips that I will definitely use.<br />Im pleased that I ordered it.


title: Another year of Rachael!

text: Great magazine and sooooo much cheaper then buying them in the store.


title: GOOD

text: Good info


title: Great article too.

text: Great magazine


title: Listings not accurate

text: Will not be renewing.  The listings are wrong half the time.  States an episode is "new", but is a rerun.  On the other hand, a "rerun" is a new episode.  Also, incorrect shows.  One of my shows was listed to air, but when I turned on the channel, it was a different show.  Thought by now TV Guide would at least be listing day time shows for Saturday and Sunday.  Not the quality it was once.


title: Love this mag!

text: I love this magazine. Great hiking ideas and gear reviews.


title: My Favorite Magazine Ever

text: This is a great magazine.  Everything always looks so much more romantic and countrified when it is in England.  I love reading the articles and seeing some of the home businesses that people have.  It is much more down to earth than the American version.


title: Yum

text: Great recipes!


title: NG is a first rate periodical.  While other magazines declined in quality, NG has improved!!

text: This is my first subscription to NG in more than 30 years.  The magazine has much improved over the past decades and stayed in tune with the changing times.  I read the June and July editions from cover to cover.  Great informational stories!!


title: This is my last renewal. The magazine is definitely ...

text: This is my last renewal.  The magazine is definitely going downhill.  Too many ads and too liberal!


title: Wonderful insightful magazine!

text: I love this magazine and so happy that amazon carries it. I read it cover to cover when it comes!


title: Great mag, but Amazon canceled the kindle part on me

text: I re-subscribed to TV Guide on Amazon for thew 2nd time in the past two years.  It seemed to be easier last year.  It was the same page and price and said it included Kindle.  But a few weeks ago I got an email saying they were cancelling my Kindle sub to TV Guide as I let my sub lapse.  I contacted Amazon, but had no luck, no idea what is up


title: Trash

text: Complete rip off. Nothing new here except for the typos, poorly researched stories and people misidentified in photos. Don't waste your money.


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine


title: One Star

text: Scarf was cheaply made. Not at all what I expected.


title: Five Stars

text: If you like wine, this magazine is worth the price.


title: BE PREPARED FOR LOTS OF ADVERTISING....

text: Little content but if there isn't enough ads in the magazine, more are added in by e-mail, packed with print editiom and I believe they sell your info to catalog lists.  TOO MUCH!


title: Great source for food, travel and home ideas

text: Sunset magazine has great articles on topics ranging from travel in the West, to home improvement, gardening, food and more.  The articles are well-written and have photos that convey the main points of the story.  Highly recommend Sunset, especially if you live in a Western state or are interested in visiting this area of the US.


title: Watch When Renewing

text: Magazine itself is good, but pricing not so good when going through Amazon; particularly with the renewal.


title: Fun and learning at the same time

text: My 3 yr old was so excited to get something in the mail. She loves the matching games and finding the hidden objects and I love that she is learning and having fun at the same time


title: Popular Photography

text: Starting new hobby, this magazine is great.


title: Amazon=Lousy Magazine Provider

text:
Forbes is a great magazine.  Amazon on the other hand, well they ought to get out of the magazine business.  Order said first issue would be in February.  Amazon "forgot", to place the order until I called in April to find out what happened.  Now they claim the first issue will be June 19.  Yeah right.  Funny how they don't forget to charge the credit card you place the order.

Don't order magazines from Amazon!


title: Address changes

text: The magazine seems to be fine, but there seems to be a communication problem between Amazon and Golf magazine.  I purchased the magazine as a Christmas gift. When I placed the order, the one click ordering caught me by surprise and it took my address as the delivery address.  I immediately changed the address.  The system showed the address as being changed.  I received the first issue within a few days which didn't surprise me.  I resubmitted a change of address through Amazon. The second issue was delivered to me.  I called Amazon and they confirmed the change of address and said change of addresses can take some time but it should be fine now.  The third issue was delivered to me followed shortly by the fourth issue.  I went online to Golf magazine today which I probably should have done in the first place and the wrong address was still on the account! There has been more than ample time to resolve this issue!  It's costing me more to forward these magazines than the original subscription!


title: Five Stars

text: I love this magazine and I'm so happy I can get through Amazon!!


title: They Must Be Doing Something Right

text: Ladies Home Journal was first published in 1883.  They must be doing something right.  I enjoy this magazine for the interesting articles.


title: Real Simple review

text: great magazine


title: educational and great ideas

text: these magazines are keepers.  Lots of great ideas, I love the user ratings and comments.  Only thing I'd change is double (at least) the font size, can't read it without readers and I have 20/20 vision!


title: National Geographic Magazine Subscription

text: Excellent magazine as usual!  A wealth of varied information.  Also, when purchasing  the paper subscription you are also entitled to the FREE Kindle subscription!  Definitely, a 2 For 1 Deal  : )


title: What happened?

text: The suspicion is that as soon as I ordered the magazine, the editor has taken a hike from the office. Previously the interiors in the publication were impecable and some breath taking, now the magazine has become so bland and generic that it seems like Better Homes and Gardens have more sophistication in its pages. Very dissapointing


title: Even better with Print and Kindle versions

text: Even though I love having the Kindle editions, I love receiving the print magazine in the mail as well. This is one of my favorite magazines.


title: Great magazine for a great price!

text: Just the best magazine for kids! I remember reading this as a kid and LOVED it! So happy my daughter can enjoy it now!!!


title: Too High A Price for Previous Subscribers

text: I tried to subscribe at this lower price but the magazine refunded my payment since I was a previous subscriber. I like the magazine but I have no interest in paying $39 a year for it when it's available for $25 for 2 years.  I can go on Pinterest and find the same info.


title: Four Stars

text: It's a good magazine.


title: Food porn

text: Endless amount of 'food porn'. I'm drool over each page and can't wait for each month. Digital version is almost better visually with crisp photos. Recipes usually work as detailed. Holiday editions are worth subscribing alone!


title: I look forward to receiving each month!!

text: Always informative and interesting...


title: In-depth information and entertainment

text: VF is filled with in-depth articles by incredible writers. If you're just not into a topic, skip & move on. There are plenty of other articles to inform &/or entertain you. I've been a subscriber since the 80s & would be disappointed if it didn't show up in my mailbox & on my devices. It is an essential read for me.


title: Exploring New Things

text: This was a gift to my son-in-law, so I'm not completely familiar with the magazine.  It looks to be a good source for up-to-date scientific information.  It appears to present technical information in an easy to read format, and seems to contain nice illustrations to support the information presented.


This is a great magazine at a great value. If you do things around the house you will learn a lot to help. A must have for anyone who owns a home. I have subscribed on and off for over 20 years and am surprised that very little is repeated. No other magazine is like this. Popular Mechanics used to have sections something like this but now it is oriented to a market that can't do anything.


title: Great Magazine

text: Informative and addressed many of today's issues.  Current topics and every day solutions were available.  Makes for an overall good reading 😉.


title: my favorite magazine

text: look forward to reading every month


title: Good magazine

text: good projects, clear instructions and pictures


title: Great, appropriate reading

I subscribed to this magazine from around age 7 to age 12, and also got my hands on many back issues during that time.

It is a wonderful, advertising-free magazine with everything from advice, to crafts, to parties (yes, they are kind of heavy on that).

They oftentimes offer excerpts form books from American Girl Press - but they are excerpts which are useful in their own right, not just getting you to buy the book. They are such things as a few crafts out a a craft book, a quiz or two from a quiz book, and that sort of thing. I also highly recommend these books, but that is beside the point.

They interview a lot of girls in special circumstances or doing good for their community, anything from girls to volunteer to girls who were adopted and talk about that, to disabled girls. The stories are always age-appropriate and try to inspire readers to do good fir their world.

They also have much advice on a variety of subjects, from things that readers write in to advice from the writers. They cover such topics as difficult friendships, moving, braces, school trouble, pets, whatever - all kinds of relevant issues.

They also offer advice on things to do - they often have themed 'parties' where they offer activities, food, etc. for fun slumber parties. While I never threw one of these elaborate extravaganzas, much of it can be adapted for girls having fun with friends or family. They also offer crafts, recipes, and the like for other things to do.

When I got the magazine, I can count on one hand the number of celebrity interviews there were, and they were always short and not the focus of the magazine.

Also, there are always short fictional stories, contests, reader letters, and miscellaneous things, perfect for most preteen and slightly younger girls.

It is a very white magazine, though. Although they certainly make an effort to choose diverse models and the like, it still comes off very white.

The art is gorgeous, and I highly recommend this.


title: Great Gift Idea for Hard to Buy for Tween Set

text: I bought this for Christmas for my 9 year old (4th Grader) niece and she was SO happy!  I love that it is filled with party planning tips, great crafts, articles on friendship, school, sports and family relationships and not on boys and beauty.  This magazine really celebrates what is important in her life right now and she is so excited that she will be getting it all year.  Also, I really like the idea that instead of a gift that she may only enjoy for a few weeks she gets this for an entire year.  I would highly recommend this as a gift for 4th Grade girls.


title: Disappointed

text: A Friend of mine wrote an article for this magazine and never got paid for it.  She said she signed a contract but can't get paid.  Can't support a magazine that conducts business in this manner.


title: Gift Appreciated

text: This is an annual gift for family.  They asked for it and are thrilled to know it was renewed! They love it!

I am not pleased with the amount of time it takes for me to receive my copy of the Pioneer Woman Magazine. The 2 issues I have received,
were received 3-4 weeks after the magazine was out in the stores for purchase. I'm considering not renewing my subscription!

CSB


title: Love this magazine

text: I have been a subscriber of "The Bark" for years. I look forward to receiving it quarterly. Now I just need to find out if the print magazine subscription means I also have access to the digital magazine via "The Bark" app. I tried logging into my Amazon account on the app but it would not connect. I hope so because I love my digital magazines. Thank you.


title: Love the Pictures and Articles

text: I confess I read mostly online. I tried out an old favorite. I like the pictures and occasional story. I'm baaad about storing these & waiting till later to read it. Still love the pub.


title: Fashion plaits will enjoy this

text: I don't like reading long articles bur I like fashion photos & this is good for that.


title: Perfection!

text: Perfection!  It is hard to wait every other  month for it to come.  Very current.  They choose the most interesting subjects, like in the basement of Shakespeare's house there was a brewery.  Adult.  Well illustrated.


title: great magazine

text: i love this magazine. i think it has lots of great articles and i enjoy letting my mind wander thinking about living in one of these homes.


title: This was a renewal

text: I OBVIOUSLY LOVE THIS MAGAZINE ALTHOUGH I MISS CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS AND DOMININC DUNNE. WHEN PUBLICATION FROM THE AFTERLIFE IS POSSIBLE, I AM SURE THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THEIR MAGAZIN.

Thank you. Pkease,do not send this,to me again


title: beware and do comparison shopping

text: I read this in my doctors office.  I like it a lot as it is not too technical.  I like this magazine, but if you go to the company's own website, you may find a better price.( much better)

text: Great magazine with wonderful ideas for making a new style of quilt.

Great magazine.  Colorful with concise directions.  Easy to just sit and read.  I love it


title: perfect for this casual science buff

text: The articles are well written, informative, timely, and always interesting. And if an issue has one or two articles on topics I'm not terribly keen on reading, I know there will be plenty I will want to read.


title: Four Stars

text: Bought for husband, enjoys, but was more visitors advertisement than informational.


Its a great magazine. No problems when ordering as a gift..  One of those magazines you will pass on to someone else!


title: Great magazine for lovers of Alaska!

text: Very well written and put together magazine with great articles.


title: So very very disappointing

text:
I was hoping this magazine was a walk down memory lane- an insight into years past with news, sports, photos, and looking back at what was happening and what things cost at any particular time.  Even saw an ad about how a particular topic (birthday party, easter, etc.) had been celebrated over the years.
This is NOT what this magazine is -- it is photos sent in by readers and articles that are maybe 6 paragraphs in length.  There is no depth, no real meat to this.  Our family was so disappointed we canceled our subscription and asked for our money back.  The 2 family members (older generations) we sent it to gracefully asked that we not renew it for them.

Pass on this -- it's so disappointing.


title: Mag receiver already asked for a renew!

text:
Got this magazine for my brother-in-law who is an amazing fix-it guy around the house.  He has told me multiple times how much he loves this magazine.  It gives him an update on products and tools, and directions and tips for different projects.

I would characterize him as an experienced handyman and he still gets lots out of these issues.  He's already asked me to renew his subscription so it doesn't skip an issue when his runs out!


title: Perfect for kids!

text:
This is simply a great magazine for kids!  It has short, informative stories/articles and lots of them -- some a couple pages long and some a couple paragraphs longs.  The pictures are amazing -- it IS National Geographic after all.

Lots of different animals per issue and always interesting!

100% recommended!


title: Still perfect, after all these years

text:
Seventeen magazine has been around a while and has staying power for good reason.  It is targeted at 16-17 year olds and stays pretty much on target with its content.

This is a subscription I give for gifts and I always hear back from the girls (and their moms) about how much they love it.  Not trashy -- but current.  Still innocent -- but fashionable.  Content talks _to_ girls not _down to_ them.

It's a keeper!


title: So disappointed

text:
Been looking for a magazine for my newly teen-ed daughter/nieces/friends.  This is not it.

I purchased and we read through one issue.  My daughter said, "Yuck"  I feel the same -- almost Cosmo-jr feel to it.  I read the reviews previously posted and have to agree with the one who said this mag has gone seriously down hill.

I disliked the fact that 2/3 of the issue we looked at was about prom -- dresses, makeup, turning down the boy you don't like, ideas for parties, ideas for manicures, the perfect hair style, etc.  Where's the story about ideas for if you're NOT going to prom?  How to face disappointment of boy you like who doesn't ask you?  It was so superficial and emphasized (and photo'd) perfect, pretty, expensive, and boy-crazy.

The write in questions make me wonder who selected them? Just an overall bad impression of this magazine that puts pressure on girls to be popular, skinny, made-up, high heeled, and shallow.

The only possible saving attribute was a 2 page spread on book recommendations.  However, every book rec was a sci fi romance!  All vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernaturals.  Again, it had possibilities but fell through.

So NOT going to give this to my daughter or any of her friends.


title: So far SO GREAT!

text:
My teen-age son's first issue just showed up and WOW!  At first he thought it was going to be stupid and we got the standard teen-age whine.  But then he opened it!!  I got "Hey Mom look at this"  "I've got to show this to Dad"  "Did you know"  "Look at this picture"  all in the first 6 pages!

I LOVE what I had time to flip through and so did my husband.

Some pages have 3 -4 short articles/paragraphs and pictures. Some of the featured articles are 4 - 5 pages long.  VERY diverse topics all throughout the issue.

Love it!

Some of the previous topics include:  Mars Rover, bacteria on skin, DaVinci's discoveries, secret agent based on James Bond, indestructible human body?, soundless owl flight/attacks, historical truths, world after death, eagles, black holes, extravagant science (glow in the dark cats, eggs that cure cancer), plane or rocket?, and so much more!


title: Yawn

text: I used to really like Martha Stewart stuff, but I find the "cookie cutter" styles in her magazine drab and uninteresting.  But the worst part is the perfume pages that smell to high Heaven.  Someone needs to tell Martha that many people are allergic to highly saturated artificial perfumes and her magazine makes me have an asthma attack.  The magazines are so full of advertizing and so little content other than dozens of recipies you're better off just looking for food ideas on the internet for free... and skip the boring "decorating" ideas in drab brown and gray.


title: Riviting Info and great pictures

text: My 8 year old son LOVES to read every page of this magazine, and so do I. I consider myself strong in the sciences, but I learn something new in each magazine, and the layout provides humor along with facts that make it a can't-put-it-down magazine.

I have even tried to do several of the things I read about in the magazine, some good but most terrible. Still a good read and I love having the magazine on hand, just in case the dog gets crazy.


title: Happy Wife

text: My wife enjoys this magazine, it makes her happy, five stars for keeping her happy. Thanks!


title: Great Aviation Mag

text: I love flying magazine, helps keep me in tune with what is happening around the general aviation community. Articles are always well written and easy to read. Thanks!


title: Truth

text: The inside story on history which helps put much of it into perspective great magazine and one of the few worth getting a hard copy

text: Love this magazine- I take a group to France once a year on a food, wine and spirits tour, and always find ideas for new places to explore.


title: Paula!

text: Paul makes cooking more enjoyable with her stories, and, her recipes.  I look forward to receiving each one!  I highly recommend!


title: Hasn't changed...

text: This is a good magazine, basically, just like it has been for years!  I probably won't renew, mainly, because I just don't seem to have time to read it.  It does have some good ideas!


title: Five Stars

text: Perfect gift for my sister!!


title: Great Magazine

text: Great Mag, bought it for Moms.


title: Love it!

text: My new favorite magazine.


title: Mostly clean eating and recipes that will become favorites!

text: I love this magazine. Over the years it has introduced me to many foods I might not have tried without reading this magazine. I also love reading the about backgrounds of recipes or the societies that they originated in.  Great food/recipe magazine, and even better since most of the recipes are from scratch (my dietary needs mean I can't eat a lot of canned or premixed foods). I have faves from EW I make every year for special occassions!


title: Great magazine for kids!

text: My grandchildren look forward to the magazine coming every month.  They love to read the articles and do the puzzles.

title: One of my top 10 favorite magazines of all time.

text: I love this magazine. It is very informative and has a lot of interesting content for anyone that loves science. I have been reading this magazine for years and probably will continue doing so for a long time. There is an online version which is also nice...but I prefer the actual book for times when I am away from the internet.

title: FIVE STARS FOR THE MAGAZINE, BUT BEWARE OF FUTURE OFFERS

text:
The information in this MAGAZINE is a joy to read and includes current non-fictional information, biographies, jokes, photos, and so much more.  It’s smaller size makes it handy to keep in a purse or larger pocket.  There is even a large print version.
We had been RD subscribers for years prior to moving, so when Amazon offered this offer, we eagerly signed up for ONE subscription.
(However we received TWO subscriptions!)

Why only ONE STAR?  The RD magazine would get 4 or 5; however we gave it only ONE as a warning.  Our subscription, as mentioned in other reviews, initiated a ton of junk mail offers for additional products/books arrived by e-mail and by USPS!  There was no requirement to buy these products, but let’s face it, junk mail appropriately earned it’s name.  But, the nightmare got worse!
We recently received a package containing a book (untitled) that was the first volume of many to follow.  The book cost $10+ tax, but was free for the first  volume, $0.00. There was no price listed for the following untitled books.  NOR was there any way to opt out of further issues!!! The [only] ONE instruction included and was to return the “payment slip” with a check (bank information).  Talk about the RED FLAGS for FRAUD!!!

Please note:  The company requesting this information was not Reader’s Digest nor Amazon... another red flag.  And there was
no way to return the book or auto-shipments of further volumes!  Not even information on the titles or genre.
Just a friendly warning...


title: Informational

text: Great variety of information!


title: Brings back memories.

text: Purchased as a gift for my 96 year old father. He enjoys it.


title: When I actually get it, awesome

text: It was 6 months late and comes every few months. Mag is great but service is horrible.


title: It's great!

text: Has lots of information & different stories, and recipes.<br />Best magazine, I read cover to cover.


title: Good business advice

text: Gave subscription to my son who is business oriented


title: great product, terrible delivery

text: My granddaughter loves the magazine, but it took 2 1/2 months for first issue to appear. I received renewal notices before the first issue arrived.


title: Ordered for a friend

text: I have received this mag for years and love it.  I recenlty ordered it as a "thank you gift" for a friend.


title: don't pass it up

text: good price great magazine


title: Love it

text: I bought this for myself, I love it


title: Rec'd promply and 2 issues!

text: Happy with purchase, rec'd sooner than expected, rec'd 2 issues, also christmas issue. That was very nice.


title: Good value

text: Love this magazine, missed renewal this year, Amezon prize was right and came soon after purchase


title: Fortune

text: I orderd this book for my husband.  Our subscription had run out and he decided that he would like to have the magazine again so I ordered it for him.


title: Always good

text: Grew up with readers digest and the books. They have got A LOT of advertising but still good material.


title: Great magazine!

text: Definitely recommend this magazine for those mechanical minded folks.


title: Five Stars

text: perfect


title: Great recipes

text: Love this magazine. Great recipes and ya learn a lot


title: Great opinion magazine, from a British viewpoint

text: This is my husband's favorite magazine. It is a British publication, and he likes to read about their take on things American, like politics, social issues, etc.<br />It is rather expensive, and he had not renewed it when it expired. But he missed it a lot, so I was happy to be able to renew it through Amazon. It isn't any less expensive this way, but it was easier to do. I gave it to him as a Christmas present, and he looks forward to each issue.


title: nice magazine We shall see how the issues go for ...

text:
nice magazine
We shall see how the issues go for the yr.
I just wish more design decor ideas where in the issues


title: Five Stars

text: Always something in it I like pleased with magazine


title: Are they using colored backgrounds over text? I can't read that, not even the sample someone posted.

text: I had been reading the regular size issue since I was in high school but they put so much color junk in it now, which is really hard on my eyes, so I could could no longer read it. I dropped my subscription. The example page somebody posted does not make me feel comfortable subscribing either as they have color over text in this too. I need plain text, no color added to the text or over the text. I don't understand how a magazine company can be so ignorant.


title: I haven't bought this magazine in years because it kept getting more expensive and had too many ads.

text: What I've been reading here today about this magazine and the abundance of ads tells me I decided to back out at the right time.  If they want to sell ads, they can do so but I won't be paying for it.  It makes me angry that so many magazines have gone this route. None of them are read by me anymore. Who needs a magazine when you can read all day for free at many sites on the web or at the library? I still subscribe to Reader's Digest but even it is starting to annoy me. It still has enough interesting stories for me to continue until they to exceed my tolerance for ads or start adding color backgrounds behind text so I can't read it anymore.  Nobody wants to see ads so why do they bother kicking themselves in the tush by including so many ads? Less customers and more ads does not make a magazine. Good luck you foolish magazine companies and don't let the door hit you on the way out.


title: A lot of good articles with a lot of ads.

text: I'm usually digging for anything good to read in magazines overladen with ads but was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of "meat" in  Popular Science - despite it having a large number of ads.


title: Great

text: Great magazine. TBH, I thought I was buying the digital edition, but I actually like reading the print edition and then passing it along.


title: Grrrreat!

text: Love the magazine. The tote is cute. I use it when I go to Trader Joes as my shopping bag.


title: Great read from front to back.

text: Southern Living is and has been my go to magazine for great recipes, travel articles, and all things Southern. Great buy on this particular offer, and look forward to each issue.


title: Too small

text: It’s too small need more content


title: Science for the average reader!

text: This is the perfect magazine for people who love science without all the mumbo jumbo scientific vocabulary! While it is no Science for Dummies, Discover Magazine writes the articles for the working person but doesn't dumb it down! The photographs are beautiful and the writing is understandable!


title: I was disappointed

text: We live in Colorado on a ranch. I had hoped for something different than this is...I wish them well, but not for me


title: Wonderful magazine

text: This magazine is so great and they got it to me quickly..Thank you for the summer reading!!!


title: Ads

text: Comes late.  Very little real do it yourself ideas.  Mostly ads


title: Great for the whole family

text: My 13 yr old loves them


title: I love getting Entertainment Weekly

text: I love getting Entertainment Weekly. I don't have cable, but it's nice to keep my pop culture knowledge up!


title: This is my favorite scapbook magazine

text: This is my favorite magazine subscription.  I get several different magazines, but this is still my favorite.  It always has the newest products showcased inside and it has several different page layouts from one picture to many.  I really like the articles and the customer feedback sections. This is a great deal for the money!


title: She loved it!

text: I purchased a gift subscription for a friend.  When she received her first issue, she immediately called me to tell me that she loved it.  She liked the way it was organized, the information was just what she would want, she is in love with this magazine now, too!


title: What happened?

text: I subscribed to this magazine as a gift for a friend and she received a notice stating that this magazine is no longer in publication.  This is her FAVORITE magazine and now she is told that she will not get it?  I'm confused.  If anyone can enlighten us, I'd appreciate it!


title: Good for beginners and intermediate practitioners

text: Excellent overall delivery of yoga techniques and practices plus articles about teachers in a larger social context. I especially like the pages devoted to specific asanas and ways to practice them without injury. It helps those of us who aren't able to take a class.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the recipes and food articles.


title: Subscription Disaster

text: Not sure if it was Amazon's fault or the publisher, but I subscribed to Parenting - Early years and was sent Parenting - School Years. I tried to resolve this every way I could and my subscription ended up being canceled by the publisher. Amazon sent my problem reports to the publisher and the publisher said to contact Amazon. Don't even try to find a phone number for Parenting Magazine customer support. I could never find one. It has been 5 months w/o any issues. Amazon did end up issuing a refund. Always happy with Amazon, but not sure at what point this subscription got screwed.


title: Three Stars

text: okay


title: I Love National Geographic

text: This is a great magazine that has been around me all my life (in one way or another). This is the first time I have got a subscription to it though. It is so nice to see it in the mail box knowing there is a huge amount of amazing pictures and articles I am about to see and read up on. No regrets here! No problems with my subscription through here.


title: Five Stars

text: great


title: Digster Magazine

text: I haven't had much of a chance to look at my magazine, but what I've seen I've enjoyed.


title: worldly food magazine, fun read & inspiring

text: Always agreeable read, inspires you on a dull day. Lovely food photography and interesting travel perspectives.


title: Vogue for the under-25s

text: If you are willing to spend a fortune for fashionable clothing, you might enjoy this magazine. It seems mostly aimed at under-25s and I find most of the content frankly risible.


title: Only for the Very Affluent Traveler

text: The magazine for affluent travelers. Those who balk at spending $1,000 a night should direct their reading elsewhere. That said, well written, superbly illustrated, and often interesting.


title: always something of use

text: Interesting and useful business magazine with IT slant. Good airplane reading. Have found some excellent web pages by reading this magazine.


title: Classic

text: Great for children who love to read


title: Great magazine

text: Like everything about Readers Digest. Been reading it for decades!


Not sure if nostalgia warped my memory of Popular Mechanics, but I ordered on a whim after not having had a subscription since high school twenty years ago.  The writing quality, intellectual depth, and political stance make it feel a bit like the NRA newsletter.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine


title: Zoobooks

text: My grandkids love Zoobooks.  They have fun while they learn.


title: Smithsonian magazine

text: This is a terrific magazine.  There are always well-written articles on a variety of topics that are interesting and informative.


title: Every issue a keeper!

text: Great magazine.  Interesting with lots of information and tips for the diy'er.


title: Contributors to this magazine are outstanding

text:
I genuininely enjoy each issue that arrives at my door in a setting that is not country.  Nonetheless, it is for reading about, learning of, and seeing pictures of authentic country ways and people that I choose this selection instead of the U.S. mag of the same name.  There are few ads in this copy, and all ads relate in some way to rural life--even the ads of available country homes in the English countryside.  All the snippets of text and longer articles are fun to read and something to sit down with.  The pictures are beautiful and captured with attention to small details.  The ideas for decorating inspire me also because I go for rustic cottage appeal that integrates modern touches here and there for updating and staying with the current.  This magazine embraces the country life without offering pictures of ideas that more resemble times gone by than today.

Aside from the preferences mentioned here, I like to look into books that are produced and printed in another country because it's a learning experience about another culture and place.


title: Great Magazine.

text: A classic.  Had to get it.  Love the Readers Digest.


title: Good!  Recommended

text: I really enjoy this magazine


title: Magazine

text: Subscription has not started yet but looking forward to it for the grandkids


I got this subscription for my mom for Xmas.  She is retired, and we moved a bit into the country.  There are lots of birds to see, and lots of gardening to be done.  She loves the images and information shared in this magazine.  She most likes that it is a nice mix of birding and gardening.


My mom has ordered this magazine, plus pretty much every other one that is similar in nature. She cancelled all the others but wanted to keep this one. This is the best deal we could find on a subscription (5.99). Even when they were going to lose her as a subscribing customer, the actual magazine company couldn't offer a better price. Once again, I find Amazon has the best magazine deal!


title: Great magazine for recipes

text: Really enjoy the recipes this magazine provides


title: Great magazine

text: Received my first copy and really enjoyed reading the magazine


title: Very informative

text: I have always enjoyed this magazine as it is very informative about products


title: Five Stars

text: I am very happy to subscribe to Readers Digest again- great price


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine


title: It Keeps Me in Touch With What's Happening in the World

text: I particularly read it for the political information. I also enjoy the cultural and general articles. I've been reading it for years.


title: Brain Food!

text: Most magazines are written for people who read at the fifth-grade level, but City Journal is a happy exception--it's written for literate adults. The articles are bright, fresh, contemporary and well thought out. I don't always agree with them, but I always look forward to each new issue.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine


title: AD and Very Little Content

text: I got two issues and cancelled the subscription because it has way too many ads and the articles are very shallow. If you are looking for the quality of a National Geographic you will be sadly disappointed in this magazine. How NG could let their brand be destroyed like this is a mystery to me.


title: 9 issues, not 12

text: I ordered  a one year subscription in April, with first issue to arrive in July.  Today (May 9) I received the March,  April and May issues. These are back issues that I already have read. The note on the subscription label states that the subscription expires in February 21.  Hence my 12 month subscription only includes 9 new issues.


title: Great reading

text: I really enjoy reading the articles in this publication.  My family and I are just getting into farming and I find this type of publication to be very beneficial.

text: I enjoy this magazine and when I finish reading it I give it to the senior center in my home town.


It is not that I don't like this magazine, I do. But I instructed the person who answered the phone not to renew it as I thought it too expensive. She said it would not be. It was renewed anyway and I now must call again to see why.


title: Old People love this magazine

text: My mom was gifted these and loved them. All my Aunts (70+yo) get them. I gifted this for my mother-in-law in rest home. Old people love them.


title: Greed at it's finest.

text: Scam...Shame of Oprah trying to take advantage of people that actually think she cares about any of them.


title: Useless except to make your home pretty

text: Just better homes and gardens magazine. Very little do it yourself and what there is is decorations. Not a home improvement magazine like it is booked as


title: A Must Have

text: Absolutely love the NewYorker. Cartoons are especially eye popping and mind boggling.

title: Decorators help

text: I enjoy decorator magazines. Since I watch many HGTV shows, seeing the people from the shows in the pages is  fun. Clever tips and recurring features. The layout and color quality are excellent

title: Great Ideas

text: Fun to look at all of the ideas.


title: Five Stars

text: received 1st copy yesterday enjoying it !


title: Tough Read on the Kindle......

text: The magazine with all its great data and photos is difficult to navigate and enjoy on the Kindle.  Furthermore canceling the subscription with Amazon is ridiculously time consuming. If I have to go through various websites to figure out how to cancel an unwanted subscription..........then it is probably quite difficult for all members. Not respectful. Boarder lines unscrupulous. The cancellation aspect is obviously not a CR problem.  It however should be known before any member gets into magazine subscription with Amazon.


title: Five Stars

text: Lots of great ideas that I can feel good about implementing because they protect the environment and my health.


title: Five Stars

text: I have been subscribing for 20+ years. A magazine for real sewists!


title: I've subscribed for 35 years although the magazine is not ...

text: I've subscribed for 35 years although the magazine is not nearly as helpful as it was when I first subscribed.  Its the only subscription I've continued although It's now mostly advertising but I still have to pay for a subscription which costs less at Amazon than I've seen elsewhere.


title: The Boys love

text: anything to do with animals and I figured this was a good subscription for looking at pics and reading some things. So far the subscript is going good.


title: Boys Gift

text: As with the Superman subscription I got this to help a youngman inprove his reading skills. And who doesn't like Batman? So far the subscription is going great. o problems.


title: Boys Gift

text: I got this subscription for a young man who I would like to help improve his reading skills. Comic books are a fun way to do that. I started my love of reading via Superman. So far the subscription has been good.


title: Hasn't yet arrived

text: So sorry that I missed the October magazine.  Looked for it in stores when it didn't come but couldn't find it there either..


title: #1 Grandson loves receiving this each year!

text: It is so easy to order, and it is fun to see him 'devouring' each issue! I'm sure we will need to move to the regular edition soon!


title: Good

text: nice magazine


title: Current trends but not stuffy or fax oriented.

text: Great magazine. I look forward to receiving it each month.


title: One Star

text: Almost 4 months have passed and I am still waiting for free tote.


title: Great magazine but .... Update .? Received May issue in early April after missing March and April ?? Very unhappy with subcriber

text: Enjoyable reading ! Unfortunately I have Missed several issues seller responds that the will extend my subscription but have not to date<br />Although I enjoy the magazine I probably will not be renewing subscription from this sell. But will search for other sellers to continue reading... Received May issue in early April after missing March and April issue .. Very Dissatisfied with subcriber ...


title: Not Too Helpful

text: I can find the info in this magazine by just going online (I may even get better deals online).


title: For Youth and Fitness

text: Lots of workouts (better than Self Mag) and the fashion suggestions are pretty good too.


title: Okay

text:
The real life story it has is a little gruesome, (with pics of woman who lost her breast to dieting, bloody and sewed up nipples.... eek!)

I like something more inspiring. There's a few, (very few) fitness stuff and the fashion pics--can't really wear that in public, looks better on the runway.


title: For Fashion

text:
There's a lot of coupons and news for free stuff like lipstick and clothes in this magazine.

Cute fashion taste.


title: Good Magazine, Nice Stories

text:
The stories I've read in Zoetrope have been generally long with a surprising twist close to the ending.

You can check out zoetrope's website to see what's coming up before you subscribe. They sometimes have famous people (writers, tv producers, etc) contribute work.


title: Always Winning the Pushcart

text:
Short stories published in Ploughshares are always winning the prestigious Pushcart Prize.

Its authors are pros who are highly talented.

This is a beautiful literary magazine.

Although, as a subscriber, they've sent me the same issue twice, and I've only received 2 different issues so far...


title: One Star

text: Magazine has gone off the rails.


title: Only 3 copies of the 10 actually arrived

text: We received 3 copies and they stopped. Thats a far cry from the 10 issues  I paid for.


title: Auto Nut!!!!

text: What can I say, I've been reading Car & Driver from years.  I'm an auto nut and have been since I was 6 years old and say the brand new 1946 Ford.  And yes, I'm now 76 years old, and my luv of cars has not wained in the past 70 years.


title: Time Magazine

text: I've been reading Time for about 10 years now.  It's my weekly newspaper that supplements my daily newspapers.  It is well written and I like it's content.  I particularly like the graphic charts they use with some of the articles.  They really put dome information into a form that is very easy to understand.


title: Consumer Reports Magazine

text: I've been reading consumer Magazine for at least 40 years now.  I take what they say about cars with a grain of salt.  I do however, take into account the frequency of repair data they compile.  For most other items, Consumer Reports is my Bible.


title: Enjoyed First Issue

text: I just rec'd my first issue - really like it!  Contains lots of useful coupons, helpful hints & articles.  Also appreciate the fact that products featured are priced for "regular" folks like us.  The other mags are fun to look at, but honestly, WHO can shop at those designer places and spend $$$$ on clothing, handbags & shoes?  Not to mention, the make-up, skin care, hair care products are just not realistic purchases (in the OTHER mags).  I feel like this magazine was created for ME.  I am looking forward to reading the future issues.


title: Did NOT order !!

title: Outstanding price

text: TV guide offers so many different sale prices depending upon the length of the subscription. This offer was the very best I could find anywhere and, best of all, it gets renewed for another year at the same price. I found this to be a very good deal.

title: Ladybug kids magazine

text: The stories and activities are age appropriate and enjoyable to young kids.  The magazine is a good value.


title: Fantastic! I have given many gifts but I think this is one of the best

text: This was the greatest gift for a young curious person. I was fortunate enough to have it read to me. I was very pleased with the content and the pictures. There are quizzes and fun games. A must have for any young reader. I will definitely reorder for next year.


title: Enjoyable but light reading

text: An enjoyable publication for light reading and recipes and such, though if it is hard news and current events you want, you should try another magazine.


title: No delay

text: The issues started rolling in quickly.  Seems like we never missed an issue.  We used to have a subscription so we already knew the magazine offered what we wanted in that department.


title: Five Stars

text: Fun to look at all you can do.


title: Best Magazine Ever

text: No, I am not a home improvement nut.  But I sure like this magazine.  They show real homes, with real, not unimaginable improvements, that the average person could afford.  Sometimes the projects are elegant, and some are just plain simple. There is something in each issue to interest those who sit and dream of a better home, and those who act on the dream.


title: Favorite magazine !

text: I bought this magazine for my husband .  This is one of his favorites ! He was an airplane mechanic .  He said the information in this magazine is accurate.


title: Good bedtime read !

text: Have been buying The Reader Digest for 10 years . Life wouldn't be the same without it on the night stand .  Plus the price was right .


title: Not good for everyday cooking

text: Not great for the normal cook. While I love the photos and the information about world cuisine is interesting, I subscribed hoping for recipes I could make myself. I'm disappointed.


title: Wrong recipient

text: This was supposed to be a gift for my daughter as an extension of her existing subscription. I just got her first magazine.


title: Horrible magazine since they cut Paula Deen out!

text: I used to like this magazine and have even ordered subscriptions for friends and family.  One of the main reasons I liked Food Network was because of Paula Deen.  Now that they have basically fired her for no good reason, I cannot recommend this magazine anymore.  I think it's a crying shame that it's okay for Samsung to give away 1 million free JZ albums to everyone that buys their new phone (which by the wasy uses the n word so many times you can't imagine) and yet Paula Deen gets this treatment for saying the word 30 years ago!  GIve me a break.


title: love this though I wish it would come out more ...

text: love this though I wish it would come out more I know science is not a fast moving subject though many think it should be and as we progress we regress, wish they would also cover some of the history of science in it.. would help a lot I think if people were also shown the x before the y and as to how we come to z.


title: and because sometimes I feel like the opinions are presented as facts instead of presented ...

text:
Its a interesting mixture of reading along with fiction and nonfiction and of course the cartoons which sometimes take a minute to understand if ever and then the contests at the back where they give you cartoons and ask you to give them the words for them which is really enjoyable to read, see and attempt.
It is not a magazine for those whom can not or do not want to actually read though some of the stories are not as heavy as others.
I did not give it five stars because of the costs, and because sometimes I feel like the opinions are presented as facts instead of presented as opinions which some will not catch.


title: Everything you wanted to know about ADD

text: I had no idea there was so much help, resources or products out there to help those of us with ADD.  This magazine AND the Web site of the same name were essential when I was first diagnosed.


title: Love

text: I love Southern Living.  Great recipes, great decorating.  It is like a mini vacation each time a magazine arrives in the mail!


title: Great advice, great reading material

text: Since I am trying to be healthier by growing and canning as much produce as we can in the summer, I thought I would give Hobby Farm Home magazine a try.  From the first magazine I received, I have been in love.  Tons of information not just on gardening but on livestock, building projects, great advice on many subjects.  I have even found some great products with the advertising in the magazine.  Definitely worth the money!  If you enjoyed this review, come visit my blog at [...]

text: This and Smithsonian are my favorite magazines :)


title: maybe ok for 17 and up, but  not for young teens

text: Much of the content is inappropriate for young and mid teens.  Just look at the cover stories - this month has one on "hot abs" and "the perfect kiss".  Not terrible, but not really appropriate for the younger teens who often read it.  Too much emphasis on fashion, make-up, and materialism.


title: Perfect magazine for toddlers.

text: I purchased this for my 1-year-old grandson.  I was very pleased with the overall quality of the pages, pictures and print.  I like this even better than most of the board books I have purchased him.


title: This is the best magazine ever for homeowners.

text: I love this magazine and ordered it for one third of the renewal price. With every issue, I get ideas that I actually use and learn of products which I actually go out and buy.


title: Three Stars

text: So much about icky illnesses!


title: Great price, quick delivery, but the magazine isn't what it once was.

text: Can't beat the price unless someone offered it for free.  Worth it just to see how an old favorite magazine has fared over the years.  It's not what it used to be 25 years ago, but I suppose none of us are either.


title: Gift husband loves

text: This subscription was a gift for my husband and he loves it! He cant wait for next issue and told me to save ALL issues he receives!


title: not the old Reader's Digest I remember

text: Print is very small.


title: It's nice.

text: As a fan of the food network, I wanted to try the magazine.  It's nice.


title: Three Stars

text: Tooo many ads now.


title: Ling time subscriber

text: Not as good as it was send to be but still fun to read.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: Its exactly like the description.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: It arrived when it was supposed to arrive.  I love the photos and the articles.  It is exactly like the descriotion.


title: Satisfied Customer

text: Arrived in a timely manner.  Love the magazine.  Great price.


title: Skimpy magazine

text: I used to subscribe to Country Living many years ago and always enjoyed it.  However, the issue I received was pretty skimpy and somewhat boring.  I still like it but it's not the same as it used to be.  Received it earlier than expected in one piece.


title: Avoid this scam.

text: This was a way of getting me to take an expensive subscription to the New Yorker, saying I could cancel but giving me NO WAY TO CANCEL. I want to cancel.<br />It is not recommended. I'd say it is a scam.


title: Super thin

text: It should be called a pamphlet instead of a magazine. The one in the pics is all of 22 pages. Not worth the price.


title: Four Stars

text: My favorite magazine. Many great designs and ideas.


title: Go to this "how to" magazine...

text: I read and reread every issue. Yearly subscription price is so low also.


title: Dislike the original format was great !

text: Dislike, print not clear! The old tvguide was better!


title: Did not get all of the deal...

text: I like the magazine, but I didn't get the free tote bag... Bummer!


title: Love this magazine

text: Love reviewing the chef's recipes.


title: wired on line and paperback

text: You get what you pay for ($5).  Several copies came about 3 months after I ordered.  Nothing since.  I have not went "on-line" to read whats on there.


title: good housekeeping magazine

text: good - always enjoy this magazine on a month to month basis from the articles to the recipes especially during the holiday season.


title: Five Stars

text: An outstanding magazine


title: Five Stars

text: Irresistable


title: Love it

text: Love it


title: One of the Best

text: Great magazine, good recipes


title: Magazine went downhill after Disney sold it

text: This magazine has gone downhill since Disney sold it to Parents magazine.  I have been a subscriber almost from the beginning of the magazine.  It was filled with fun games, recipes and crafts.  The crafts were the best.  Now they include an article for moms selling products; there are many more ads and the quality of the recipes, games and crafts stinks.  I don't like the layout of the magazine nor do I like the paper they use.  The font size of the print is way too small.  They used to have a wonderful Halloween edition with many imaginative costumes.  Now they don't.  Unfortunately, I renewed for 5 years shortly after the magazine was sold so now I am stuck for another 3 years.


title: What you need to know for vacations!

text: I liked EVERYTHING about this magazine!  Recipes that WEREN'T just about food!  Recipes to Enjoy Life, visit the places that I'd love to go this coming summer.  Happy to get each issue!  Thanks Midwest.


I only received 1 issue so far, but I've always been a fan of this magazine!  So enjoyed this first issue, now waiting for the next one!!  ❤ Love the ideas in this magazine, good food, good cooking, with good people is what I love to do.  ❤❤❤  buy this one, there's more in this than just recipes!  😊


title: It was time to renew and Amazon had a better price

text: I love remodeling shows and magazines. I like to see how things are done. My husband is handy so if I see it in a magazine, he can do it.


title: An expensive magazine but great content

text: I do love Southern Living. The content, the pictures and recipes. It covers everything and it is one of the best magazines out there


title: great gift

text: This was a gift for my brother in law who is really into teas. He<br />likes the magazine and gets a lot of tips


title: love the pioneer woman

text: her magazine has everything, stories, her family, shopping and recipes. she is a fantastic woman and does it all


title: brother gift

text: i sent this to my brother for christmas last year and i subscribed again for him this year. he is getting older and golf is now the game for him. it is a nice moderately priced golf magazine. i think subscriptions make great gifts


title: it's ok

text: not a great magazine. i am hoping it improves in the future. i live in the country on a lot of land. i do some canning and i like recipes. i do a lot of gardening. i just want something more colorful and informative.


title: love this magazine, gave it for a gift

text: i get the food network magazine. they have recipes i would really use. the food is always good stuff. i gave this subscription to my brother. he is a great cook and i think this will give him a lot of ideas.


title: very g5reat magazine

text: i had a subscription else where but to renew it was so expensive. i went to amazon and they had a much price. i don't know why magazines got so expensive. the subsciptions used to be cheap. i really enjoy the magazine. i'd hate to cancel it


title: FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO COOK AND TRAVEL

text: I SENT THIS TO MY NIECE WHO LIKES TO COOK AND WANTS TO TRAVEL WHILE SHE'S YOUNG. SHE REALLY LIKED THE MAGAZINE AND GOT A LOT OUT OF IT. IT'S HARD TO FIND A COMBINATION FOOD AND TRAVEL MAGAZINE AND I AM VERY PLEASED


title: THE BEST MAGAZINE

text: I WAS GETTING THIS MAGAZINE THRU ANOTHER CARRIER. BUT THEY DON'T HAVE IT ANYMORE SO I ORDERED IT THRU AMAZON. THEY HAVE A REORDER AUTOMATICALLY, WHICH I LIKE. THE PRICE WAS RIGHT


title: VERY HELPFUL MAGAZINE

text: WE GOT A LOT OF INFORMATION AND IDEAS FROM THIS MAGAZINE. AS BEGINNING BEE KEEPERS, IT REALLY HELPS. WE FOUND OUT WE ARE MAKING MISTAKES ALREADY. IT IS WORTH THE MONEY AND I WILL RENEW


title: GREAT MAGAZINE FOR THE HANDY MAN AND DO IT YOURSELFER.

text: I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY HUSBAND WHO IS A JACK OF ALL TRADES AND DOES ALL THE REPAIRS AND REMODELING. IT HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION AND PROJECTS. I LIKE THE IDEAS THE MAGAZINE GIVES.


title: Outstanding vendor!

text: Item exactly as described. Lightning-fast shipping. Well-packaged. A+ transaction.


title: Great deal

text: Great deal 1 year- $5.00 I give these  as gifts


title: Educational sheep magazine

text: Very informative, waiting for more issues.


title: Great Localized Magazine!

text: This is the best gardening & landscaping magazine I have ever seen.  Regular features in the magazine include:  Ask The Expert (Advice for gardeners across Indiana), Indiana Tidbits, Region Reports (Gardening information specifically for your area), How To Do That (Simple projects for the everyday gardener), The Conscientious Gardener, Garden Profile (Get ideas from gardens all over Indiana), Landscape Design (Tips & ideas to help your landscape look its best), Hot Plants (New plants on the rise & old ones that are making a comeback), Calendar of Events (Classes, Garden Walks, Festivals & more, throughout Indiana), & Only in Indiana.

Other states besides Indiana that are available include:  Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia & Wisconsin.  I highly recommend it!


title: Enjoy this magazine

text: Good keep me-up-to-date magazine.  Why isn't "Elementary" ever mentioned.  Find that strange in the weekly review.


title: Disappointing

text: Used to be a great magazine so I renewed my subscription after a 6 year break. Now mostly hipster nonsense. Last month mentioned Airstream trailers on the front cover. Had one tiny picture of the outside of an airstream in the featured article. Found one good recipe out of the 2 I’ve read so far. Paper quality is also much lower than before. Will not be renewing.


title: Great Magazine!

text: Great quality pictures and articles!


title: cancelled

text: I did not realize what a liberal rag it has become... it use to be music, now it is a political liberal rag!!!!


title: Super value

text: My favorite magazine


title: a must for a golf fans

text: a must for a golf fans


title: Five Stars

text: Bought for my son.  He loves it.


title: My moment of Zen...

text: Absolutely love the magazine. Every page I learn something new...


title: Best gift ever....

text:
Reading.... has been my gift to my My 9 year old nephew ( for the past 5 yrs) he loves a magazine subscription as a birthday gift. He says it reminds him every month that I'm thinking of him.
This one he really likes because it's all about boys and their achievements.
He finds it motivating.


title: Always interesting.

text: One of the best magazines available.


title: Good source for news

text: Great news magazine with current news and a good price.


title: Love this magazine!

text: This magazine is so informative! Has everything from soup to nuts and great reading! I highly recommend this book to any woman!<br />Treat yourself to a subscription and see if you don't totally enjoy this magazine!


title: There's not many better magazines out there

text: They buy stories from great writers, and their insights are deeper and more interesting that some other publications.  The cartoons are great, but not as good as many years ago in my opinion.  Restaurant reviewers are fun to read.  Movie reviews are quite good.  There is much to like here, I highly recommend the magazine


title: Great if you like architecture

text: Great magazine  if you are interested in Architecture, this is a good one.  Gets better, 3 year ago it wasn't as good as it is now.  Amazon was a good place to buy it.


title: Forbes is a great magazine, this is a great price

text: What more can you say?  however I think Amazon is slipping in the magazine area.  I hope they pickup and work on getting more publications in their system.  I love the Amazon renewal experience, and pricing.  I think it is much better than dealing directly with the publishers.  However, at times, publishers offers are lower in price, usually by a few dollars.  I would pay $3 more to get it on Amazon and have that as a management tool.  I subscribe to 50 plus publications of all types, I wish they were all on Amazon/


title: Not Worth the $

text: As so many have pointed out, this used to be a terrific magazine in the 1970's, full of cutting-edge information as well as useful home remedies that are now very hard to find. Now it's just another cheap, commercial waste of time.


title: great value

text: I have always liked this magazine for the way it delivers LGBT travel info and its beautiful photography. It has always been a little pricey but i managed to get a deal on here for a subscription to the kindle version and the paper version for $5. I thought it was too good to be true but it wasn't. I have received two issues so far. The pics of the destinations are amazing especially on a Kindle HD tablet. If you can get the deal and you like this progressive magazine, I would highly recommend it.


title: One of the best mags one can have.

text:
Great and full of need information.  Even do it ur self things.

Enjoy every month.  Will renew many times.

I even save the monthly copies for reference.


title: I love it

text: what guy does not love to look at a playboy i love this magazine so much and what other guy wouldn't


title: got this the other day

text: got it my g/f and she is happy that she got it thanks. I would recommend this to anyone that likes this type of magazine


title: articles

text: Got this as a gift and they like it


title: Good buy for people who like Westerns and Cowboys

text: I love the old west days. This magazine brings it to life


title: Four Stars

text: Kiddos love this and they can share with their friends


title: Four Stars

text: great


title: Five Stars

text: Sent to fwlow in Montana and he loves it


title: Five Stars

text: I keep renewing th subscription because it challenges little minds to think big..


title: Kids love it

text: A very good magazine for kiddos. They love the pictures and stories and the coloring. Would buy it again I think


title: The projects are easy to follow

text: My husband has been reading HandyMan for years now.  The projects are easy to follow.  Articles are timely and provide good advice.


title: Quarterly

text: Great magazine - good articles but only quarterly (so 4 copies a year)


title: Veranda as inspiration

text: Veranda has always been one of my favorite decorating magazines for inspiration.  Regardless of your budget, there is always the great spark of an idea or a color theme that can be adapted.  Some designers are featured over and over, however, and an expansion of content would be of value.


title: Never got it

text: Well...


title: Have yet to receive the first issue

text: even though I subscribed December the fifteenth and now it is nearly February. I was told this was a possibility but then I got this email asking for my review. If my check is taken, I should get a magazine. I subscribed to Southern Living at the same time and have had it for nearly two weeks.


title: Discouraging and Sinful with a few good recipes

text: I subscribed to Self because I wanted encouraging tips on health and fitness.  Over two years of subscribing, I'm convinced that this magazine is encouraging... just not in a healthy way.  This magazine promotes having internet flings, three-way sexual relations, and (this is the one article that really irritated me) how one woman discovered her happiness by having an affair.  Now, I'm not saying this sort of thing doesn't happen in the world, but I sure do not support it and do not want to spend my hard earned money to read about women who need psychological help or a better moral compass.  Does media follow society or does society fuel the media?  I think it's definitely both... but I know a good way to rectify it.  Stop producing garbage articles and telling youth and women in their 20s-30s that they can discover their sexual "health" by having multiple partners, affairs, and internet sex.  I'm incredibly disappointed with this magazine.


title: LOVE!

text: Love this magazine, I've never missed an issue, it has a little bit of everything, plus money saving coupons.  Nice  to have subscription.


title: Ths is the best of the small farm journals

text: This journal has been around and it shows. The content is deep enough to answer some real questions and goes beyond the shallower articles in competing journals. Of the four that I subscribe to, this is the only one I will likely renew.


title: AWESOME

text: My son enjoys reading these when they come. A great gift.


title: Five Stars

text: love this magazine. great recipes


title: Good Gift Idea

text: I bought this subscription as a gift for a gun collector and enthusiast.  It and GUNS ‘N AMMO are his favorite magazines.  Subscriptions are a good gift idea!


title: Five Stars

text: Great articles, nice photography...love it!


title: Husband likes it

text: Husband says he likes it.


title: My husband likes it

text: My husband is a motorcycle nut job and he will pick up cycle magazines at the magazine stands but he mainly looked for Cycle World.  So I got him a subscription and he reads it from front cover to back cover.  Now I don't have to look for Cycle World in the grocery store anymore for him so I'M happy too.  It's come promptly in the mail with no misses and I'm just going to let it renew automatically so we'll both stay happy.


title: Magnificat

text: Ordered a year of the Magnificat for daily readings of mass. Was a reasonable price and got my May issue quickly


title: Five Stars

text: One of the best magazines of this type. You won't be disappointed.


title: Great!

text: Husband and son really like this magazine!


Will not be auto renewing this, my daughters ages 15 and 17 do not like this magazine.  Not exactly sure why, but they do not want it anymore.  If it helps to know, my 17 year old is into fashion, make-up, current trends, etc.  My 15 year old daughter is more of a Tom-boy, so honestly would not expect her to like a magazine such as this.  Was surprised that my 17 year did not care for it.


title: He always liked it and now that we have it coming for ...

text: I ordered this for my 13 year old son.  He loves this magazine so far.  He has received 2 issues and said he really likes it.  My husband had subscriptions in the past, but we cancelled as he never had time to read it.  He always liked it and now that we have it coming for our son, I imagine he will find time to "borrow" it!


title: He likes it and is pleased! I have not personally looked or read the ...

text: Bought this for my son, he is 13 and loves cars!  He likes it and is pleased!  I have not personally looked or read the magazine, but he likes it so therefore it's a 5 star from me!  When my husband has time to glance through it, I will update with his opinion also.


Well...I bought this for my 17 year old daughter, ironically enough.  I had subscriptions to this magazine as a teenager.  Well, it has most definitely changed and geared more towards a young adult, in my opinion.  Needless to say, I will be grabbing it from the mailbox before she gets her hands on it and will not be auto-renewing it.  When she is old enough to purchase it on her own, that will be her choice.  But, I will not pay for garbage for my 17 year old.


Have had subscriptions to this magazine many times off and on through-out the years and wanted to give it another shot with the $5 a year deal.  I have already cancelled my auto re-new.  LOTS of ads!  And I mean lots!  It is worth $5 a year in my opinion, but I would not pay any more than that!  Just not worth it for what I was looking for, in regards to recipes and home decorating.  But a girl can dream of having a home like Martha's!


title: Iffy?

text: I am a Southern girl!  I grew up seeing this magazine at my now 92 year old grandmothers house.  While even at a young age, I loved glancing through it.  Have had many subscriptions to SL off and on for the past 15 or so years.  Ordered this because it was on auto-renew for $5 a year.  It is just not the same as it used to be.  I like it, but don't love it.  Have already canceled my auto re-new.  Lots of ads!  Not as many recipes as I remember and they typically require ingredients that are not within my stocked pantry and very time consuming for a busy mom!  The decorating ideas are beautiful but not within the norm of everyday people.


title: Great magazine with great recipes

text: Great magazine with great recipes!  Would buy again, but only if it ended up being as good as a deal as I initially got!


title: Been a subscriber for 15 years or more

text: I "peruse" each issue to look for information pertaining to something that we own or are planning to acquire.  My last two automobile purchases were significantly influenced by Consumer Reports.


title: We've subscribed to Time for well over 10 years

text: I got tired of all the advertising that came with renewal offers from Time Magazine.  Ordering my continuation subscription from Amazon.com was the perfect solution.


title: Five Stars

text: Good coverage of scientific issues as well as cultural and economic ones.


title: I love this magazine

text: I love this magazine. However every since I moved I have not received my magazines and I put in my new address.


title: Five Stars

text: Love the magazine. However every since I moved in January I have not received my magazine.


title: Love the magazine

text: Love the magazine. However since I moved in January I have not receive a single magazine. Even though I put in a change of address.


title: Magazine wet!

text: Delivered it in a plastic bag on my driveway and it was soaked.


title: Large Print

text:
for my mom.

She's been reading Readers Digest forever. Couldn't read the traditional small print version. Glad they made this. Now she can continue to read it every month. She's thrilled. I'm happy.


title: Gift for a Friend

text: My friend who is into finance likes getting Forbes monthly.


title: Love them.

text: Love every issue. Can't be without. Look forward every week to the interesting stories.


title: Good Read

text: My wife loves receiving her monthly issue. It is a great magazine with  a lot of good stories to read. She has ordered merchandise from many Internet sites.


title: Get your MBA here!

text:
I'm not one of those downhill-at-a-45-degree-angle types, but I do have a vintage 1997 GT Aggressor hard-tail mountain bike, bought new back then, and I just can't let go of it. It's light CrMo frame is tough as nails, and the RST front shocks, Shimano Deore V-brakes, Deore rear derailleur, and Deore rapidfire shifters have never been replaced. It's now on its fourth gel seat, third set of pedals and second set of nubby Tioga Psycho tires.

Maybe one of the reasons that this bike has lasted is that it is kept maintained, and one of the sources that I use for tips is [[ASIN:B00006KOMK Mountain Bike Action]], also known as MBA to MTB enthusiasts. For those new to the sport, MTB is an acronym for MounTain Biking, so now you know.

Some of their How-To articles are just common sense reminders, while others give us new food for thought. As an example, there was a 2005 article entitled "10 Ways To Stay Up In Sand" that offered some excellent tips on staying on the top of the granules, floating across the surface, and stay seated unless one hit a section of granular powder at speed.

Another that appeared in the summer of this year was "Top 11 Tire Tips by Kenda," which should be read by all cyclists in its entirety, especially for its common-sense tips on how to avoid tire pinch-flatting. If you don't have the issue, check their site online and see if it's not still there.

Their MTB news is generally interesting, and usually up to date. The bike tests are generally interesting, even if just for the information on how the current gear has improved... or dropped in quality. Of particular interest are their product reviews, which can cover anything from tools to gloves to hydration gear.

This magazine, along with [[ASIN:B001B6NAW2 Park Tool The Big Blue Book of Repair - 2nd Edition]] are all one could ask for in terms of keeping ones MTB in good shape, and my own aging bike is a good example of that. If you need a simpler bike repair reference [[ASIN:1579548830 The Bicycling Guide to Complete Bicycle Maintenance and Repair: For Road and Mountain Bikes]] is an excellent choice, especially if you're trying to teach kids about bike maintenance, and it's now available in its expanded and revised 5th edition.

The venerable [[ASIN:B000OPOEDU Bicycling]] magazine from Rodale has been around for many years, but its focus is more towards the road rider as opposed to the mountain biker. Rodale also publishes 'Mountain Bike' (subscription unavailable here as of this writing), but I'll personally give 'Mountain Bike Action' a slight edge for overall content. If you're looking for a publication with more "meaty" content, you may want to consider [[ASIN:B000071FJO Dirt Mountain Bike Magazine]], a true diehard downhill mountain bike magazine, but be prepared to pay a higher price for this 5-star publications.

Is MBA a perfect MTB enthusiast magazine? No, not by any means, for like most monthly publications these days, there are too many pages filled with advertising, and that's why I've rated it at 4-stars. But from the mountain biking magazines available at a somewhat reasonable price today, it's one of the best.


title: Bicycling Magazine: a shadow of what it was...

text:
[[ASIN:B000OPOEDU Bicycling]] has portrayed itself as is the "world's leading cycling magazine," and this may be true, but the quality of this publication has been slowly declining over the years. My personal interests in cycling are more directed at mountain and trail cycling, but this magazine, in publication since the '60s, was always a welcome source of information about non-motorized two-wheeled sports.

I started subscribing to this periodical years ago. It's articles and reviews used to have substance, and each issue was worth exploring from cover to cover. The magazine's coverage of Lance Armstrong and his multiple championships was exceptional. It was between the covers of this magazine that I first learned about Armstrong's then-new book [[ASIN:0399146113 It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life]], and knew that I had to get a copy.

But that was then, and this is now. 'Bicycling' is from Rodale, a company that publishes some of the better health and wellness magazines, including 'Prevention,' 'Men's Health,' 'Women's Health,' 'Runner's World,' and 'Mountain Bike.' At one time I subscribed to both 'Bicycling' and 'Mountain Bike,' but no longer. Both of these seem to be a (thin) shadow of the meaty publications they used to be. For MTB articles, I do prefer [[ASIN:B00006KOMK Mountain Bike Action]], and find a bit more substance there. If your focus is mostly toward road bikes, [[ASIN:B00007B9CL Cycling Plus]] has a lot more meat, though at a higher cost.

I don't mind all of the advertising, which does seem to dominate most consumer magazines today, but just wish that the articles, reviews and news items had more depth than those available on the 'Net these days. I'll still continue to pick up singler issues of 'Bicycling' when the occasional article looks interesting, but can't justify subscribing unless there's some extraordinarily special rate being offered.


title: If you aren't rich, don't buy this magazine.

text:
In nearly every issue I've received, there was a full page advertisement featured a kid and dog asleep in a leather airplane chair - advocating that you buy a private plane. I even saw a full page ad for a dating service exclusively for the mega rich, with a name so forgetful I can't even find it on Google right now. If these ads don't apply to you, you obviously aren't the ideal Forbes reader.

It's basically just stories about how rich people are getting even more rich. I bought it with the impression that there'd be quality information like financial advice (for someone making less than 6 figures), rags to riches stories, information on how to improve my career and business. It had none of those.

All in all, a waste of $30/year. Won't be renewing. For anyone looking for what I'm looking for, I've found Entrepreneur and maybe Inc as the best bets. Fast Company wasn't great, either.

text: It was a present


title: Read it

text: The magazine is always an enjoyable read. Dependable and variety is their standard


title: Magazine

text: Good read....classic


title: Just like I remember

text: I took a shot at ordering the magazine. The rate was just to good to pass up. It brought me back in time to the 1960s when we and my buddies were at awe of all the new stuff that was heading into our future. Funny, Lot of those items are in use today and we never give it a second thought. I recommend the purchase and transport yourself dither back to your memories or ahead into your future.


title: Ounce of prevention is worth your investment

title: Great Read

text: My husband adores this magazine, we discovered it while living in Santa Fe, NM. We did live in Ft.Worth, TX for 6 months at a later date.It has great articles, advertisements and is just chock full of interesting information from front to back.


title: OK for Some People

text: The monthly newsletter provides the latest information concerning retirement: changes in tax laws, Medicare, investments, and others. It is a good condensation of financial subjects. Unfortunately, they get repeated the next year using different words. As a result, the newsletter's value goes down. For this reason, I did not renew my subscription after a year.


title: A Personal Finance Magazine for the Masses

text: There are only two printed personal finance magazines in circulation for the masses: KIPLINGER'S PERSONAL FINANCE and MONEY. KIPLINGER'S concentrates on investments and retirement planning. MONEY appeals to the general population with articles on the best places for retirement, car and wine recommendations, personal stories on families and their financial problems, best credit cards, and other related topics.


title: Affordable and interesting

text: Affordable and interesting


title: Great!

text: Great for shut ins!


title: Canceled subscription to Sunset.

text: After the Sunset magazine started coming, I remembered why I quit taking it years ago.  If you remember the old Sunsets, they were so full of ideas, how to's, tons of tips, meaty articles, lots of little interesting ads in the back.  No comparison to the one of the past.  Too slick, too full of adds, light weight (modernized) information....dumbed down just like the American people have become...  They just don't have the substance they used to have.

text: Getting the magazine at a very inexpensive price I just wish they didn't give you so many cards and junk advertising in between the book they literally have about 5 cards that are in the book tear out or take out and throw away just to read the book
