title: They canceled my order!

text: Giving it a one star cause my order was canceled by them. Love the magazine but good luck getting an order from this link. Very disappointed... why have a link if your going to cancel orders???


title: Another great Meredith Corporation publication!

text:
Simply put, this is a great magazine! I have been a continuous subscriber for the last five years, and Country Gardens always deliver.  The lay out is easy to follow and is NOT overridden with advertisement.  The articles are quite enjoyable and informative.  Of course there are plenty of gorgeous photos to suppliment the articles.  God, I love that!
I too wish that this was a monthly publication. However, I will not complain. I don't want to see a good thing ruined.  So, I simply look forward to each issue and settling down for some great gardening articles, diagrams, advice and photos.
Hats off to the Meredith Corporation for their consistency in excellence! This magazine continues to give. Go on, get yourself a subscription! You will love it! FIVE stars all the way!


title: Experienced modelers opinion.

text: Almost all advertising.  Lots of ready to fly stuff, but not much building.  Not in the same league with Model Airplane News and other similar magazines.


title: Unethical Practice

text:
We subscribed to Cook's Country magazine.  We did not plan to renew the subscription.  We are receiving repeated mailings telling us that we agreed to renew automatically.  We never knew when we subscribed that we were authorizing an automatic renewal.  We believe that this is an unethical practice.

We are writing to warn other subscribers to be aware of this automatic renewal practice, if in fact it ever was in our original subscription.


title: I Love Cook's Country But.....

text: I love Cook's Country. I tried several dishes and everyone enjoyed it. The articles are interesting and their ratings of different products are helpful. The only thing that disappointed me was that, I misplaced an issue and went online to get a recipe. Altho I already subscribe to the magazine, I needed to be a paid member to access their online recipes. And this is a monthly cost. I subscribe to other magazines and they don't charge to get recipes off their websites.


title: cooks country

text: This was suppose to be a renew of a gift subscription and I am now receiving the subscription. Enjoy the magazine, but had no intention to subscribe.  This is the second time this has happened with gift subscriptions through Amazon and it will be the last time I use Amazon for renewals.  It took me close to six months to streighten out my personal subscription to House Beautiful.  Often love the prices, but would like the renewal form to indicate renewal as well as renewal gift someplace.  This is a problem area that need attention.


title: I love this magazine

text: Just received my first two magazines from cooks country and I love it. Much more simple recipes then cooks illustrated while still following the same format. It does has less in depth product and food reviews. This magazine also comes in full color.


title: Size of Magazine

text: I wish Cook's Country was a bit smaller like other magazines, it's rather bulky when trying to prepare a dish from the actual magazine. I too, tried to get a recipe from that was featured on their PBS show from another year, and you can't access older recipes even though you have a current subscription to the magazine--very frustrating. Other than that, I really love their recipes and tips!


title: Four Stars

text: My nephew is enjoying.


title: A treasure and a treat

text:
Years ago, my daughter received a subscription to Babybug magazine for her first birthday. It was probably the best gift we ever received! The pages are heavy stock so they don't tear (they are not really board books, but close enough). Essentially, there a number of short books within each magazine. There are also poems and rhymes that are very easy to turn into simple songs. (We've "sung" many of them!). Beautiful pictures too! There are continuing stories with the same characters like Kim and Carrots (a story about a little girl and her stuffed bunny). The makers of this magazine really know kids and families. They celebrate simple things like playing with daddy in the park, tumbling in the grass, making cookies, playing with a big red ball, etc. etc.
On the back of every book/magazine, there are four pictures that are taken from the pages, and my daughter loved this mini "I Spy" game.
Besides all of these wonderful features, you get issues throughout the year! I can't recommend this magazine enough. Beautifully done. We still have the "books", years later. My daughter is now 6 and she won't part with them.


title: It still has nice photos but Chris Madsen set the tone with his ...

text: This is not the magazine it once was. Chris Madsen, the former editor, left his position in the fall of 2013. It has lost its soul. I have had the magazine since 1975 and only keep it out of nostalgia. It still has nice photos but Chris Madsen set the tone with his "land ethic" essays. I feel he is a modern day Aldo Leopold. The magazine has suffered for that loss.


title: From HOLA to HELLO.

text: I lived 10 years in Spain, learned the language, bought HELLO every week even I did not understand the language first. I'm so happy to read the HELLO now. Muchas gracias.


title: Your Dog

text: This is a great, straightforward wealth of information about the latest advances in canine medicine.  It seems understandable by a general audience and also lends advice from a preventative perspective.  Anything that can benefit my pups benefits me!


title: one of the better travel maga

text: great mag with up to date info.


title: The best yoga mag for serious students and teachers

text: I have been a yoga instructor/practitioner for 30+ years, and this is the holy grail of yoga information.  It is deep and very enjoyable. always educating me in some capacity, which oft times with other books/magazines does not happen since I have been practicing, studying, and teaching for so long.  It is always an immense pleasure to read this magazine.  They have gone totally digital, FORCING me to make this technology leap, but I love the mag so much I forgive them!


title: Good value

text: Have received the first monthly issue and it appears to be<br />a good value for the price.


title: This is SOOOOOOOOO the best riding magazine for kids!

text: Dont listen to all those negative comments about this magazine  because it IS THE BEST RIDING MAGAZINE EVER! Huge, colorful posters, cool contests, beautiful pictures, and TONS of info on horses and ponies!!! When i had just started riding, this magazine taught me alot about horses! Health care, Pony club info, quizzes on horsecare, interviews with famous riders, the PONY PEOPLE section(the part where you can write in and tell them about you and your horse/the one you ride)different breed info, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!...


title: 2 Issues Only

text: We have only received two issues of this magazine since November, 2017. That is 8 months in total of subscription - and we should have received at least 3-4. I have contacted publisher twice with no response. I saw a review before I ordered this magazine that said they had the same problem. I thought it was just a fluke and it would all be fine. This is my first Amazon review - so I am purposely going out of my way to tell you this seems like some kind of scam. Daughter disappointed that issues did not arrive as she thought magazine subscription holiday gift was a lot of fun. She liked the magazine, but I think the disappointment of not receiving additional issues outweighs the content of mailed issues.


title: Favorite Mag!

text: This is, to begin with, a very economical magazine...the subscription price is reasonable and each issue is really thick. It's chock-full of lots of cute guys, great clothes, cool makeup, and fun horoscopes. But it's more than that. There are lots of really empowering, feel-good articles about real girls doing really great things, and it's plastered everywhere just what impressionable teens need to hear: 'you're WONDERFUL.'<br />Need a pick-me-up on a rainy day? Or, geeze, any day, really? Pick up CosmoGIRL.


title: Show your Welsh Pony every weekend? This is your magazine.

text: I received a subscription of this magazine for one year, and although it has its good points, there were enough bad points to cause me not to renew. The magazine has tons of beautiful, full color posters of beautiful horses and ponies. I really enjoyed the quizzes and short stories, as well as some of the features. But my problem with this magazine was that it seems to lean towards the well-to-do little girls riding Welsh Ponies that are trained to show every weekend. I haven't read an issue yet that didn't contain an article about 'winning lots of ribbons in shows.' There is no focus on the other side of horsemanship: caring for your horse, keeping up your stable, and health care. It is simply assumed the 'young riders' will hand their lovely ponies away to their grooms and saunter off to hang their ribbons on the walls of their bedrooms, which will, presumably, also have the mega posters featured in each issue of the magazine.


title: Excellent!

text: This magazine is excellent! Offers horse care tips whether you own a horse or not. Helpful riding tips. Answers horsey propblems. You can win neat horse stuff. For kids who ride and don't ride. For begginers all the way up to advanced. I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE. I can't wait for the next issue to arrive.


title: Great Kid's Magazine

text: My daughter is an avid horse jumper and loves this magazine for it's pictures, Q&A columns, and fun articles.  Lots of opportunities for winning prizes (though she hasn't won one yet!)<br />Great magazine.


title: Great Magazine.

text: I little thin, but great for young riders.  Have both english and western tips and a very helpful Clinton Anderson article.


title: Up and Coming Young Rider

text: Young Rider magazine provides good tips and advice on working with horses.Posters and advertised items are relevant to horse enthusiast.


title: Great Resource

text: This is a great resource for young riders.  I purchased it for my grand daughter.  We both read it cover to cover and she loves the posters.  It supplements her riding lessons very well.


title: Great 1st equestrian magaine!

text:
I purchased a subscription for my granddaughter last year - and she enjoyed it so much that she requested another year ... says it is very
informative and touches on Western as well as English seat  ... She is
eleven years old and does not own her own horse (yet) - rides a couple time a week at a nearby stable and takes a weekly lesson. The posters cover the walls of her bedroom and she is still in the 'dreaming' to own a horse stage.


title: Young Rider is Excellent Magazine for kids who love horses!

text: My daughter has had this magazine for a few years.  It is wonderful!!!  There are so many articals with useful info and they are very well written to keep kids informed and interested.  She loves the color posters and pictures.  She is starting to recognize names of equestrains that she hears about other places from having seen them in Young Rider.  It is also a very "clean" magazine.  I am very careful about the things my kids are exposed to and I have never come across any objectional materiel in this magazine.  That is a sign of great Editors!  I recommend this to any kids interested in horses from ages 6 to age 13.


title: No issues

text: As others have mentioned, this appears to be a magazine that produces few (or no) issues.  Very sorry I paid for this subscription and am seeking a refund.


title: Just One

text: I ordered this subscription last November and only ever received 1 magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: My two nieces love Young Rider.


title: nice

text: it came a little late but was a nice magzine


title: Young Rider Full of Ads

text: I purchased subscriptions to both "Ask" and "Muse" for my daughter (9 years old) and am thrilled at the lack of advertising in those magazines.  I subscribed to "Young Rider," as my daughter is very much a horse lover.  I was dismayed to find it full of advertisements.  And not only that, but poor quality ads, irresponsible ads perpetuating gender stereotypes (e.g., males do not wear pink) and blatant consumerism ("From hoof to toe, wear the brand.")  While I'm using the magazine as a means for teaching media literacy, we certainly will not be resubscribing.  As to the content, it does seem informative, especially for a beginning rider, though the writing is not particularly compelling.  And the articles are hard to find amidst all the marketing, making it visually confusing.  While my daughter picked up her first issue of "Ask," sat down and did not get up until she'd read it cover to cover, she picked up "Young Rider," glanced through it, tossed it back down and has not yet returned to her first issue.  And this is a child who is horse crazy -- not much of a testimonial for a horse magazine!


title: 2 little

text: This magazine is great, but as we get older and start puberty, we don't want to read a magazine for begginner riders.  13 and older, i'd reccomend Practical Horseman.  When i did read YR, i always thought it needed to come every month instead of every other


title: Great for children who love horses.

text: I have been subscribing to thi for 4 years for my 12-year old grandaughter.  She loves it! Does not own a horse, but still her favorite magazine.


title: Perfect for young girls

text: I ordered Young Rider for my 10 yr old niece.  She just received her first copy and when I saw her next, she ran up to me with a BIG hug and Thanks! She said what she loves the most about it is that it covers both English and Western styles of riding.  She wants to become a barrel racer, yet English riding intrigues her, so I'm glad I got it for her!<br />From her response to receiving her first issue, I'd have to say:  Money well spent and she LOVES it.


title: We like Young Rider

text: Having tried serveral horse magazines for my 11 year old daughter, by far our favorite magazine is Young Rider.


title: Totally Horsey Magazine! Awesome!!!!

text: Young Rider is a great magazine for all horse lovers!! They have lots of contests so you can win some cool horsey stuff, and they give you lots of good tips on horse keeping. I recomend this to anyone!!


title: great

text: My grand daughter loves it.  She is a real "horse person" and is always wanting to learn more.  We received it quickly...another plus.


title: Young Rider is the Best!

text: I LOVE YOUNG RIDER! IT HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HORSES IN EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. FROM THE HUGE COLORFUL POSTERS TO THE RIDING TIPS TO THE INTERESTING ARTICALS YOUNG RIDER IS DEFINITLY A GREAT THING FOR ANY HORSE LOVER! THERE ARE TONS OF CONTESTS TO ENTER AND A COOL HORSE STORY EVERY ISSUE. YOUNG RIDER IS NOT ONLY INFORMATIVE BUT ITS FUN TOO, THERE ARE ACTIVITIES AND QUIZES AND ITS ALL JUST THE GREATEST!!!


title: Young Rider is the BEST!

text:
... Young Rider is geared towards kids who don't have ponies or horses, too. It has loads of information about riding lesson horses and kids who don't have horses can send in pictures of their lesson horses. It is for western and English riders and I've even seen saddleseat articles in it as well.
I like it because it DOESN'T focus on rich kids, fancy ponies and showing. Kids like me who keep their ponies in their backyards are in it too.
I love the beautiful posters!


title: Awesome

text: Great! The magazine is exactly as expected and arrived on time.


title: Best magazine ever!!

text: This is a wonderful magazine!!

text: How do am I supposed to rate this?  I haven't received this subscription yet.


title: Useful info, great buying tips, best of the Mac mags

text: I have been a MacAddict subscriber since Issue #1 and have since discontinued all of the other Mac magazines I used to subscribe to. MacAddict is lighthearted but every month provides genuinely useful information in a manner which is neither too techy nor too condescending. Reviews of products are fair and impartial. MacAddict helps newbies and seasoned Mac users alike get the most from their Macs, and I recommend it without reservation to anyone looking for a gift for a Mac user. The monthly CD is especially nice for those who don't have a broadband internet connection and can't easily download the huge demos of new games.


title: Best Mac Magazine out there!

text: best Mac/Apple magazine out there, love the format, how to's and tips, etc. wish you could offer the digital version under Zinio for iPhone or iPad.


title: Best Mac Mag

text: Only MacAddict serves up the best reviews, the best Mac coverage and the best news, all with an off-beat sense of humor and style. If you have already bought a computer that lets you "Think Different", buy the Mac Mag that does the same.


title: Review section is awesome.

text: We love the review section. We have learned so many features of our MAC from reading it.


title: A highly biased review from MacAddict's Editor in Chief

text:
Hey, I'm being honest up front -- full disclosure, and all that jazz...
I'm the Editor in Chief at MacAddict, and I gotta say that if you're a fan of the Mac, you'll definitely love our magazine.  Our monthly goal is to help you get the most out of your Mac, so we cram each issue full of how-to stories, tips'n'tricks, product recommendations, and bright shiny objects -- all written and laid out with that now-famous MacAddict attitude.
If you love your Mac and want to enjoy yourself while learning how to squeeze the last possible drop of fun out of it -- and bend it to your will when using it for actual work, as well -- you'll love our magazine.
And if you don't, tell me why -- maybe you've got some great ideas about how we could improve it.


title: Delayed and pricey

text: Magazine is great! But it's been delayed and at their price it should be before hitting the stands


title: pass the scones

text: this is a "lovely" magazine!  Can't wait to read it each month. It slows me down and makes me want to dream a little!


title: All Things Lovely and Feminine

text: Ephemeral visions of Royal Albert pink rose-patterned teacups, antique Spode teapots, vintage lace, and antiquarian books; snippets from my past four trips to England and France appear fresh in my mind with each issue I receive in the mail.  Catering to the feminine lady who dances to a softer beat; who enjoys being a woman and all that that entails, this magazine is a respite of pure bliss.  I often save my still-unopened newest issue for over a week until I can find that perfect little island of quiet time and alone-ness.....perhaps with a silver tea tray, a gathering of storm clouds outside the French door, a pretty needlepoint pillow, delectable candles on my pretty table.  "Southern Living" is a jewel, a rare find today.


title: Southern Lady magazine

text: I enjoy the magazine's recipes and decorating ideas.  The pictures of the featured recipes are very nice as well.  I am looking forward to the next magazine.  Thank you.

title: That it's a quality product with good customer service.

text: Immediately after I ordered. I researched and decided to cancel.. I ended up trying to cancel about 10 times and it wouldn't let me. I thought the 2 month shopping time was too long so you'd think you could cancel within minutes. Stuck with it. Will see.. assume it's coming from China.


title: RECIPES UNINTERESTING

text: The issues I received only had mediocre recipes, and they were holiday issues.


title: Disappointed

text: Definitely not the Taste of Home magazine I remember getting years ago. Too many advertisements and not enough recipes.


title: Well-designed Magazine Full of Great Reads

text: The Strand magazine is a high quality collection of stories, interviews, and reviews presented in a very pleasing format.  The short stories contained within its pages are skillfully written with deep characterization and a strong sense of time and place.  The interviews are engaging to readers and inspiring to fellow authors.  The reviews provide a detailed perspective on books and DVDs that pique my interest in those works.  Even the ads are focused on riveting books. I found myself wishing I had more time to read them all!  I love that The Strand is published in a paper format.  I look forward to the next issue arrive in my front porch mailbox. Outstanding!


title: Very good magazine with nice stories!

text: I purchased a two year subscription last January and have enjoyed the magazine in general as well as the story lines.<br />If you like mystery and suspense you should definitely check out this magazine!


title: Great Quality

text:
I have to say I was surprised to find such great quality in a mystery magazine. Most magazines today are just filled with advertisements and relentless self-promotion; The Strand is really different.  They have about eight stories per issue, by such writers as Ray Bradbury, John Mortimer, Peter Lovesey, and Edward Hoch. And these just aren't the mystery stories, which are time burners like in the stuff found in Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock Magazine. These plots are well constructed and will stay with you long after you read them.
The magazine looks stunning as well; each cover has that classic feel. Inside the pages are full sized, glossy, full color, and the illustrations are super.
The issue I have on hand has an interview with the original Nancy Drew author Mildred Wirt Benson. I looked at their website and in the past they have had interviews with Sir John Mortimer, Peter Ustinov, John Gielgud, Michael York, Ian Richardson, David Suchet, and Christopher Lee.
The articles are fantastic--they are not talking down to the reader nor are they like some of those overly turgid academic articles that analyze everything to death!
I love the Strand, may they live long and prosper.


title: Super magazine

text:
What a super magazine. Loved reading every bit of it. This isn't the standard literary magazine printed on bad paper and with very little substance. The Strand is full color and with several ads in it, so we know it will last for a long time.  I would estimate there is still about 40,000 words in each magazine which in incredible.
The first copy I received had a short story by Mark Twain called "The Undertaker's Tale." I could not believe my eyes that the Strand had managed to publish Twain! There also was an unpublished short story by P.G. Wodehouse which was lost for over a hundred years. The focus is mainly mystery, but they have published a lot of stuff by Ray Bradbury and have been successful in bringing some of the greats out of retirement like Colin Dexter who contributed a short story. The issue with the Twain story also had interviews with David Baldacci (very funny smart guy), Christopher Plummer (sharp, witty, and full of great stories), and Oleg Kalugin (Former KGB spymaster, who gave a very frank interview).
The last issue I got has the start of a Graham Greene novel that was never published before. I found out that the Strand was published from 1890-1950 and that this is a revival of the magazine. It turns out this new Strand has been around for ten years and from the look of things, I think they'll be around for a long time.


title: One of the best!

text: How good can it get? The Strand ,  seems to be jumping from strength to strength. I received issue 8, which was remarkable.  The Strand  publishes the finest short stories--the mystery stories are written by renowned award winning writers, who are at their best when they write for the Strand. The copy I have has fiction by Sir John Mortimer, in the shape of a Rumpole of the Bailey story; they also had fiction by new writers who I am sure we will hear more of in the future. They also had a very interesting interview with British actor Michael York; this was not he familiar article with tiny quotes but a vibrant Q & A format. They also had an interesting article about the spy genre-thank goodness they didn't overdo the James Bond link. I wish they had more book reviews, the ones they had were frank and candid though. All this reading made me buy all the back issues-don't ask them for the first issue, I am #1000 on my bookstores mailing list for the premier issue. The back issues show how the magazine is evolving and growing. Past issues had fiction by Peter Lovesey, H.R.F. Keating, Michael Gilbert, Bill Pronzini, Catherine Aird, Henry Slesar, and Ed Hoch.  Most of the stories were a relief from the dumbing down that has been shoved down our throats by the media. They also had interesting interviews with John Gielgud, Peter Ustinov, David Suchet, and Christopher Lee. I also loved the articles they looked at various things from Jack the Riper, Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Patricia Highsmith and Charles Dickens. I heard they have a special holiday issue coming out this Fall, I can't wait.<br />Years ago I thought that the fiction magazine was dead and buried-I am happy that the Strand has injected the life-force back into it.


title: Five Stars

text: The strand magazine meets with all of my expectations.


title: Good stuff inThe Strand magazine.

text: Amazon thinks my subscription has begun.  I don’t think it has because I bought the newest Strand at Barnes and Noble.  There’s a great Christmas story by Agatha Christie.  I recommend it.


title: The Strand Magazine

text: I thoroughly enjoy this magazine.  I am not  only an avid reader of all types of fiction, but especially mysteries.  This magazine allows me  to see what the newest books are/will be available, plus gives me an idea of what they are about.  Keep up the excellent work.


title: Super Magazine

text:
A high quality magazine! It took me from subscribing to receiving the magazine two weeks, which is pretty speed as magazine subscriptions go.

The magazine was super and a boon for mystery fans. Fiction by Ray Bradbury, Alexander McCall Smith, Charles Todd, and even unpublished gems by Mark Twain and P.G. Wodehouse.  The magazine is about 80 pages long and has about 6 short stories, two interviews, two articles, and 22 book reviews. The interviews were great David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Jeffery Deaver, and Ray Bradbury. I am going to buy a bunch of gift subs now!


title: I love it

text: I don't know what planet that guy is from who is saying below that he had to wait a long time, if he bought a pair of glasses he would notice that you have to wait for 12-16 weeks for every magazine you order from Amazon. I had no problem with that-- I think the Strand is a unique magazine. With fiction by such great writers as Sir John Mortimer, Edward Marston, and great interview with actor Michael York. They also have fine articles one such article was about Hercule Poirot & Agatha Christie. They are doing a great job.


title: Bad service, did not fulfil subscription, refused to send issues

text:
I received a year subscription as a birthday gift, and let me say: I was GRAVELY disappointed by customer service and shipping.

Firstly, of four magazines that I was SUPPOSED to receive, I received only TWO. I wrote to the Strand many, many times, at first politely, and then more adamantly (read: enraged), that I rightfully be sent my two missing issues. My first few emails were answered with "going to ship the missing magazines", and when I complained that nothing had arrived, the Strand stopped answering altogether.  I filed a complaint at the Better Business Bureau well over a year later, because I live in Germany and there is little else I can do aside from that.

Apparently the magazine is well aware of that, and that is why they decided to skimp on two issues. They also played on the fact that shipping from the USA to Germany takes a long time -- though obviously not as long as they made it out to be. Nor do I think that the postal service is so villainous as to send me only two of four literary magazines and keep the rest for themselves.

As for the magazine itself:
It has a nice layout, interesting stories with illustrations, interviews and plenty to keep you busy. It's a pretty thick magazine. There is a lot of vintage content in the mix, but also a decent amount of modern literature, both by famous authors as well as budding writers.

If it wasn't for the fact that I PAID FOR FOUR ISSUES AND GOT ONLY TWO (Happy birthday to me, I guess), I would have easily given this magazine a five out of five, or at the very least a four out of five.
Of course, I HAD ONLY TWO ISSUES TO JUDGE THIS MAGAZINE ON, so I cannot say how consistent the quality is. From other reviews, I'm guessing that there's something of interest in every issue.

If you live abroad (or, heck, even if you live in the USA -- I've heard of US-residents not receiving their issues either), I do not recommend buying a long-term subscription. If you can buy it in a store or order it over a store instead of their website, go for it. It's a pretty good magazine, but it's a risky purchase. It's basically roulette. You might get your issue, in which case you're ecstatic, or you might not, in which case you're livid like I am right now.

So I give the Strand one star out of five because I cannot give it negative stars out of five. For their sake, I hope I never bump into one of the Strand's editors in the street.


title: Is it worth it?

text: Yes, the magazine is enjoyable BUT, the time from ordering the subscription to receiving the first issue, five months and as of this date only one issue has been received at this end. When ordering from Amazon the order is sent on to Strand, when trying to contact customer service regarding your subscription it is impossible to locate a live person to discuss your concerns due Amazon no longer handles customer service issues regarding Strand...if you are willing deal with the frustrations, Strand is great.


title: received one issue only.  print is nearly unreadable. called and got no response'

text: do not  purchase.  the business is inefficient and almost invisible.<br />motboy


title: The best mystery magazine on the market

text: The stories, the interviews, the product information., is not only entertaining but surprise authors stories make it most interesting. Like I said .. the best mystery magazine on the market.<br />I say this having gotten this magazine for about 20 years… don’t miss it .


title: An attractively-presented,  very reasonably priced magazine with high-quality fiction offerings

text: As someone who enjoys mysteries--including many of those broadcast on satellite radio--I looked forward to receiving my first copy of The Strand (the 72-page, February-June 2007 issue (Issue XXI)). The Table of Contents of this attractive issue lists five fiction works, two interviews and three "Articles" (one of the "Articles" consisting of reviews of books and audiobooks). (In addition, in this 72-page issue, my count of pages on which the entire page consists of an announcement or presentation (my terms), e.g., by a publishing or other concern of a book or books, a dvd or dvds or audiobook or audiobooks, came to approximately 25; my count of other pages on which some portion of the page includes, e.g., an announcement or presentation similar to one of the above or of a publication or one that's directed by a publishing concern to authors seeking submissions, came to approximately 15.) I found the fiction works in Issue XXI to be of high quality and announcements or presentations etc., relating to books, dvds, publications, etc., are fine and will certainly be of interest to many readers, especially those interested in newly-issued works.  However, I find myself interested in seeing more fiction works in issues published more frequently even if the subscription price would be substantially greater.


title: Fantastic Magazine and Great Service

text:
What a fantastic magazine. As a fiction and mystery fan how have I survived not reading this for ten years? I subscribed to the magazine last month and was sent the magazine after only ten days, which is fantastic considering that when I've subscribed to magazines like Time and Newsweek that it takes them 4-6 weeks to send the first issue.
When I opened the envelope, I couldn't believe my eyes. They have the start of an unpublished novel by Graham Greene! And they're going to publish the whole novel over the next four issues.
They also had interviews with two of my favorite writers the legendary Ray Bradbury and Michael Connelly.  The interviews were in-depth and not padded with superfluous facts. They also had fiction by Andrew Vachss, Tamar Myers, and though he's well-known for children's books they had a great short story by Anthony Horowitz. The book reviews were well-written and to the point. The magazine is slick, glossy, and full color, so the production value is great. Now I have to find back issues...


title: WTF

text: I don’t usually write reviews... but I feel seriously bothered by the fact that when I purchased this magazine it was flea market decor, which I have always loved.. within 1 issue they changed the entire genre.. it is now ‘American Farmhouse’.. and is as boring as it sounds. No more getting lost in the pages of fun flea market finds! Now it is mostly new stuff, completely losing the charm of truly vintage things that actually have soul! The new magazine is bland at best.. seriously disappointed.

This magazine is by far the best of the bunch.  It's published by CSICOP [Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal].  Unlike "Skeptic Magazine", the Skeptical Inquirer does divide religious criticism for another magazine called "Free Inquiry".  Therefore, this magazine deals solely in pseudoscience.

At first, you might feel uncomfortable in their dealing with issues people want to believe in (e.g. ghost and UFO's), but with a little time, you will start thinking clearer and more rationally.  For example, have you ever really wondered why some people are not cured when they go to the Chiropractor? I know my grandmother wound up have more back problems after visiting one for a few weeks, and eventually had to have surgery on her back!  This magazine does a good job in explaining why its junk science; and the people who explain it are usually experts in the topics field (e.g. Quakwatch - aka - Stephen Barrett, M.D.).  Great material!


title: Great Magazine - Lousy Price

text: With so many skeptics in the room, I'm surprised no one's debunked the ridiculously high 35$ price tag. You can get SI from their own website  for $20.


title: Where's my magazine?

text: Ordered this as a Christmas gift for my fiance, it says  that the first magazine will be sent in April. I wasn't thrilled but I knew that he wanted it. In absolute theory we got the magazine last week. And I see no way to cancel or get a refund. In fact I tried to cancel right after I ordered it and couldn't find an easy way. This has so far been a waste of money.


title: US Weekly

text: US Weekly is a fun magazine.  You get information about the entertainment industry in a fun and easy way.  Stories are short and to the point.  The pictures are great!<br />Caren


title: Do not waste your money!

text: Do not waste your money! I purchased this subscription as a gift for my husband...in Dec. Today is June 4th, to date we’ve received 1 issue! That’s right, 6 months have went by and we’ve received 1 issue. All the order says is: delayed. Ridiculous. They list the item as 6 issues in 12 months. The magazine is good, just don’t buy it through Amazon!


title: Coin world

text: Would love to give a review but it's been a month and I still have not received a single copy of coin world what's up with that?


title: Valuable information

text: This magazine is useful for any coin collector


title: coin world weekly paper

text: Out standing magazine for the beginner or veteran. Many great articles and wonderful pictures and illustrations. great price on Amazon


title: Difficult to deliver undamaged

text:
First of all, let me say this is a good publication.  My complaint lies in how Coin World is printed and delivered to my residence. Coin world is printed on a flimsy newspaper grade paper and is rarely delivered to my mailbox undamaged.  The publisher used to print Coin World on better stock but I'm assuming economic pressures have forced them to use this format.  I now receive approximately every other issue and some issues arrive in USPS "body-bags" with a sorry-for-the-damage message on them. My last issue only contained the first page!
Coin World has offered its readers to deliver its publication in a plastic bag for an ADDITIONAL FEE to aviod damage. My question is this: Is Coin world putting an undeliverable item into the postal system (which may not meet the USPS requirement for undamaged deliverablity due to the automated sorting machinery used) and trying to extort an extra fee from its subscribers to cover the poorer print quality OR is the USPS culpable for not being able to handle this item adequately?  None of my other mailed periodicals arrive damaged.
Personally, I think Coin World should either produce this publicatiion in a deliverable format or fold the cost of the shipping bag into the subscription price.  In any case try to work with USPS.
Any decision to purchase Coin World should factor in the "delivery percentage."


title: Not much content

text: I took this magazine for a year and found it rather disappointing, there was little real content.  I was starting to thing that all the magazines had become just ad space for retailers until I picked up Fly RC, I find that it has much more actual content.


title: Five Stars

text: Great publication.


title: Five Stars

text: great Magazine, wish there was more than just 4 issues.

title: Great sports fisherman magazine

text: A magazine my husband truly enjoys. He hopes to one day pull in one of those trophy fish you proudly display on your covers. Nice work, and great pics!


title: Magazine

text: Enjoy the articles. Wish there were more especially for the Florida area. It Needs more about fishing rather than boating.

title: Dont order as a gift!!!

text: Ordered as a gift and they never received any issues till it was time to renew, and only then did they get just one issue....  Think twice before ordering as gift!!!


title: My best magazine

text: Excellent the information is updated


title: Five Stars

text: Bought this for my three-year old great niece.  Her mother says she love it.


title: An intelligent,fun magazine

text: This is a good woman's magazine. It is well written. It has interesting articles, not silly gossip. Perhaps there are too many ads. At least the ads are of good quality products. Of all the magazines I've read , I likebthis one the best.


title: They Say 52 Issues...

text: ...but you only get 48 issues, as their quarterly specials "occupies" two weeks.  Also, as a subscriber, it is irksome to see a Comic Con special on the shelves in stores but not receive neither the physical NOR digital copy.


title: Magazine is 5 star, delivery is zero stars!

text:
This is a beautiful magazine with great articles and recipes, but Over the course of my subscription I’ve had one completely missing edition and two other instances where I’ve not received the magazines and had to chase them up.
Based on my experiences so far I will not be renewing my subscription.  I’ll go with the cheaper, more reliable and timely electronic edition.
I’d give the magazine itself 5 stars, but the subscription service would be zero stars, resulting in my overall three star rating.


title: Best Kept Secret in Great Recipies

text: This is a great magazine full of all kinds of recipies.  Easy ones gourmet, mid-week, low fat.  We have had a subscription for a year and we cook most of our meals from it.  The only thing you need is to print out a converter as the recipies are done in the UK and are in grams not ounces.  Order it. you won't regret it.


title: Really. No beef????

text: When I read that Prevention will not publish any recipes including beef to protect the planet just ended my appreciation of Prevention. Moving our country into a socialist arena eliminating the choices of the people is exactly where the left wants us to go.


title: Nat geo for kids.

text: Love nat geo and I like that I can get it for my kid like this.


title: My daughter's favorite!

text: My daughter loves this magazine.  We looked at several at the library before subscribing.  She would lose interest in other magazines after just a few pages and go in search of another issue of hi-five (the library saved back issues).  We have been subscribers for 2 years now (she just turned 6) and her interest has only increased as she has learned to read.  Very happy with this subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Best garden magazine there is.


title: Two Stars

text: Hard to find the content I hoped for in the forest of ads...


title: Five Stars

text: As expected.


title: Good magazine, poor distribution

text: The magazine is pretty good however I keep missing issues, I have not received two issues so far.


title: Guitar World as a Birthday Gift!

text: This subscription was ordered for my Grandson's 15th birthday present.  He has told me several times how much he loves it!<br />Giving various subscriptions as gifts is the perfect fit for Birthdays, Engagements, Weddings, Babies, Christmas, etc.


title: The Best Out There

text: There was a time when I bought this magazine for all the pretty pictures. Now that I've become more mature, I'm enjoying reading the articles. I have found myself going back to re-read past issues.

text: Didn't even after complaint  put entire address on label so my son only got 1.thanks for wasting my money

title: Metal Garbage World

text: There's too much emphasis on heavy metal in this magazine. It's boring.


title: Inconsistent delivery. Poor service

text: The magazine is great. Although the delivery is sporadic. Goes months between issues, truly horrible and very poor customer service to resolve.


title: Five Stars

text: A subscription is an easy way to make a little girl's winter more enjoyable.


title: A ClassyMagazine

text: Very much enjoyed our first issue of Tea Time.Some great ideas for enjoying tea ourselves and<br />sharing a "Tea party" with some folks at the nursing home.


title: Be warned - they'll sell your information

text:
In addition to agreeing with the reviews that note that the magazine is rife with advertisements, the fine print in the magazine indicates that they'll sell your information unless you cut out the small note in the magazine and mail it, along with the address label, back to their customer service center.  Obnoxious.

It does, however, appear that you can unsubscribe here (the magazine doesn't provide this address):  [...]  Once you enter this, however, it informs you that it may take several weeks for those preferences to take effect.

Also, if you'd like to see how much your information is worth:

title: Wonderful gift.

text: A gift to my grandson for his First Communion


title: Makes it much easier to follow the Mass

text:
This is a great.  Our church uses a missellet that is not laid out all that well and it covers the entire year.  My kids did not always follow along and when they tried to they would spend time looking for the appropriate page instead of paying attention to the service.  Magnifikids solves these problems, each issue is specific to that week, so it is very easy to follow.  Also, some of the key words and phrases are defined at the bottom of the page.

I really like this and would recommend it to anyone.


title: Five Stars

text: Read it everyday!


title: Cute and fun magazine

text: I ordered this for a very special boy that loves to get mail and he enjoys it very much!

text: Love the magazine but it's 3 months into my subscription and still have  not received one month of the 3.


title: Best & easiest overall up to date ADHD info

text: I was diagnosed with ADHD shortly after my 7 yr son and immediately began to scour the Web for info. There is a lot of info but you have to take the time to find it - this magazine brings all of that info together in print and online in short easy to read (particularly to those of us with ADHD) format.  I want to know all the latest info on ADHD and now I can without the previous time and effort required.  Because there's no "cure" for ADHD, it's a daily struggle (even with medicine) to find what works for you to help you overcome the frustrations and limitations resulting from the condition.  The magazine helps remind me that I'm not alone in my struggles and that many other people have faced and are facing the exact same struggles.  There's a strange comfort in kowing that.  And I've learned a lot of useful tips which help me keep the negative aspects of the condition in check while allowing the positive aspects to come out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this magazine!  You will learn so much in each issue!


title: Incisive and In-Depth Indeed

text: I came across insight as a student studying abroad in Windhoek. It is a fairly new publication and was founded as a pet-project by some veteran Namibian journalists in 2004. Since then, the magazine has a built up a reputation for its reports on corruption, the economy, and social issues. I like how it is often fearlessly critical of the SWAPO government and the journalism awards they have won are well deserved. The satirical section also often has me laughing out loud and the monthly review is a great way to catch up on the news. If you are interested in current events from the Southern African region, a subscription to insight is definitely worth the cost.


title: Out of touch with the 21st century

text: Wow, what a great idea: let's make everything look and read like it's 1950 again! Sheesh, what were they thinking, honestly? If they were trying to be fashion-centric, it's already failed, as the speed of fashion moves so fast that Bazaar should be thinking AHEAD, not dredging up a long-moldy history. I can't wait until my sub runs out, hate to say. Give me Nylon or British Vogue any day- at least they remember what century they are in.


title: What R You People Talking Bout?

text: Ive been receiving this magazine for over 2 years and its great i dont know why everyone is saying its horrible, they cover EUROPEAN cars yes Germany is part of EUROPE! lol seriously this is a great magazine for car enthusiast that loves fast cars coming from the EURO sportscar world....


title: Nothing but 50's style modernism

text: I'm not sure why I got this magazine but I really wish I hadn't. I've gotten three issues now and each one has been nothing but 1950's style modernism. I would hate to live in any of the houses they review. I find them all cold, miserable and most uncomfortable.


title: Fresh, Different Recipes

text: I like this magazine because the recipes are fresh and different from most other cooking magazines. Also, every recipe has a calorie count which is really nice.


title: communist manifesto in a daily life

text: communist manifesto in a daily life


title: Least bad choice

text: Badly managed magazine with terrible customer service and excessiive rhetoric. It keeps pushing an outdated ideology about "democracy" and "government under law" although democracy has imploded into "populism" and the reality is that governnent controls law. When the magazine was founded civil and criminal law were not made by elected politicians. Politicians made only the administrative law regulating the operations of the government. The American revolutionaries of the eighteenth century feared that democracy, which had a long history of failure starting with Athens, promised in The Federalist Papers that the US would not become a democracy, but most of the safeguards they put in place have been abandoned, e.g.,election of senators by lgislatures rather than by all citizens, limited voting franchise, procedures of the "electoral college," etc. But the editors of The Economist are ignorant of the history of democracy and of law. And even for someone who is not pro-China there is a bit too much anti-China propaganda. The anonymous and fictional authors, e.g., "Lexington," do not make honest reporting. However, The Economist is still a somewhat good source of world news compared to what else is available in English.


title: International affairs that affect the US

text: Covers a variety of important issues.


title: Economist

text: Great magazine all around!


title: Incapable of delivering on time

text: The current issue is available on Friday of each week.  It is not considered late until the following Wednesday.  For the last year it has been a consistent SNAFU with delayed or missing issues.  I am now on an 8 week run of not getting an issue on time.  As you might imagine there is little more worthless than a weekly news magazine that arrives consistently one week late.  Avoid the paper copy option.


title: Received Very Few Issues

text: Received only a few of the issues--none in the last several months of the subscription.


title: Informative

text: Great stories


title: Love reading about old Hollywood in a biography and positive way.

text: I love the Closer magazine because it doesn't talk bad about the stars or put them in a negative light. It Is a possible magazine were it's more about their biography then about bashing someone. I really enjoy reading about old Hollywood. Please continue this!! ❤


title: Five Stars

text: The best of the casino magazines!!


title: One Star

text: They have good articles from time to time, but absolutely no shame and no respect for their readers.


title: Horse and Rider magazine

text: In my opinion, the best horse magazine on the market.  I am thankful that I can buy it from Amazon, as it is cheaper that way.  The magazine has the best articles on training horses from some of the top trainers in the country.


title: Awesome Medical Magazine

text: Equus is one of my favorite mags!It has great medical information and interesting pictures. Plus, they have an inspiring horse story in each issue.


title: A Good Magazine!

text: I think Horse & Rider is a good magazine!  I am an English rider, but I still get a lot of good tips and information from reading this magazine. I especially like the confirmation clinic.


title: HI: A Very Good Magazine

text: Horse Illustrated is one of my favorite magazines and I have subscribed to it for many years. They offer good info on English and Western riding, horse care, and many other topics. It seems to lean a bit more to the Western side though. I really enjoy reading their articles, and the magazine is really colorful and attractive to you eye. So why do I rate it four stars? Because their are many ads throughout the magazine that take up most of the page.


title: Practical Horseman is an AMAZING Magazine!

text: Practical Horseman is a really good magazine in my opinion! I have had 5 different horse magazine subscriptions and this one is by far the best! They provide really good information in all of their articles. Every month there is a feature article on an accomplished rider, a riding exercise to try, a conformation clinic, a column where George Morris critiques 4 riders a month, and much much more. The information in this magazine could definetly be useful to beginner, intermediate or even advanced riders too. Also, there are not too many ads and very nice pictures to go with the articles. This mag provides info on many types of English riding (hunters, jumpers, dressage, foxhunting) and not just jumping as some of the covers might suggest. If you are an English rider looking to improve your knowledge on the riding and care of horses, this is the magazine for you!!!


title: Overall an OK Magazine

text: Overall I would say this is an OK magazine. Some of the articles are cute and sometimes even informative, but I find that most of the time the articles are a bit too simple and don't apply to indermediate or advanced riders. Also, there are lots of ads. Not to mention it seems mainly geared towards kids who show a lot and own their own horses. Probably the best thing about this magazine is the pictures and colorful cover. So, if you are a young beginning rider who shows often and owns your own horse, this is the magazine for you.

text: Please  cancel present subscription as it no longer is being read by my granddaughter . She is now too old for this magazine .  Thank you.

text: Little bit of everything! Love it!


title: I JUST WANTED 1 YEAR

text: HOW CAN YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD WITHOUT MY PERMISSION FOR AN EXTRA<br />I AM GOING ON YELP


It used to be a good magazine but the articles now are very boring.  When long articles were written about specific places I really enjoyed the magazine.  I have had a subscription since the inception of the magazine in mid 80s.  I also used the index on line to look up articles about specific places that had been written over the years.  Now I cannot find it any longer and when I called about it they said they did away with the index.  So I no longer can refer back to past articles.  I guess I will just have to throw away my over 200 magazines.  What a waste!!!

title: Country Living Magazine

text: Love the magazine, love the price. Great decorating ideas for those who still love country, antiques, nostalagia, but for use in today's homes!


title: NOT a good Decorating magazine

text: This mag is about 130 pages and the first 100 are ads and individual items highlighted. There are only 15-20 actual decorating pages and they were quite skimpy in content. I cancelled this, something I rarely do. I usually just don't renew, but this was just a total waste of time. My favorite mag was the sadly no longer published "HOME". It had great ideas in all different styles and included a few house plans each month. These days I make due with BH&G and House Beautiful.


title: Country Living

text: I can spend hours with this magazine and I am always excited when it comes.  I get a lot of ideas on how to use what I have to decorate.  I use this magazine for gifts to others that I know feel the same about COUNTRY decorating as I do! :-)


title: Living the good life

text: Having been a subscriber for many years, I have watched this magazine change with the times in a good way. It is filled with "practical optimism", full of lively articles on home decor, collecting, gardening and cooking, while realizing that families are more budget conscious nowadays. I do not live in the country, but the stories on entrepreneurship, family and friends getting together, and up to the minute fresh decorating ideas inspire me with every issue. Country Living remains a favorite because the writers and editors seem like real people who truly care about their readers and use their experience and expertise to make this magazine shine.


title: Country Living Magazine

text:
I did not recieved my first issue of Country Living yet.  I ordered it in August.

As of today October 21st,  I still have not gotten my magazine Country Living.  Please let me know the status of my subscription.


title: Good service, so-so magazine

text: The magazine I got for a great deal on amazon. However inside the magazine it is mostly advertisements. It does have some good articles. It features a lot on antiques more than the country theme. I got this as a gift for someone. It always arrives on time so no complaints in the delivery department.


title: Excellent!!

text: This is a great zine to have if you love art, like to look at art, want to learn how to do the art--or just love mixed media art, paper art, or sewing projects, etc. You cannot go wrong. It is beautifully photographed, well organized and just special.  I love this magazine so much I have kept every issue and refer to them often. You will too.


title: I have loved this magazine for years and I am so excited that I finally have a subscription.

text: The magazine is good for both practicing artists and those who just like to salivate over the delicious ideas as armchair artists!


title: All I can say it that I love it

text: I can't wait until the next issue!!!


title: Fore!!

text: My nephew and brother love this mag. They are both avid golfer sand look forward to each issue. Easy present!


title: 50% advertisements

text: Limited content with a ton of advertisements. If you're willing to sort through it, it isn't bad... But I wouldn't pay more than the $10 promo. Out of 100 pages, 43 had advertisements and this is not counting the pages that have some content along with an ad... So you're basically paying for half the magazine and advertisers are paying for the other half.


title: Amazon should avoid this dumb promotions.... MAGAzines? please

text: amazon should focus in promoting useful stuff not stuff that u see it once and later, it is garbage... u can get mags for free in sites and different other promotions...<br />PLEASE AMAZON.... GIVE US GOOD GOLD BOX DEALS..


title: The decline of a great magazine

text: I had received Rolling Stone for decades and I looked forward mostly to its reviews of new music and artists.  I read politically slanted articles as they grabbed my interest.  Reviewing music now appears to be treated like an afterthought.  No more than 3 album reviews per issue now. (sorry, those additional 2 line album reviews that you put in now are pathetic)  What's the matter? Too much work to write a full review?  In the past Rolling Stone never seemed to be concerned about being politically correct.  That too has completely changed.  They are more concerned with popular opinions than what is actually new and cutting edge.  It's as corporate a magazine as you can get now.  Selling out to whoever publishes the magazine now is the biggest mistake they ever made.  All to get a fancy shiny cover.


title: Get with the times already!!! Ever heard of something called E-MAIL?!

text: I'd give it 0 stars if I could! Cancellation is available only by phone and no answering service after hours so you can't even leave a message for them to call you back?!! Why don't you twist my arm off to force me to keep the friggin subscription!!!


title: Why doesn't LA have a mag like this?!

text: I absolutely love New York magazine.  I have never lived in NYC and might not make it there, but the magazine still seems relevant to me.  Being a weekly, the articles are always timely, interesting and important.  Not only does New York provide a sense of what is going on in NYC, it also takes on national and international issues - politics to pop culture. I always read mine cover to cover and desperately wish L.A. had a magazine like this (Los Angeles magazine SUCKS).  Funny, to the point, interesting.


title: no

text: Bad


title: Missed issues

text: I've never lived in N.Y. but I love the magazine & have subscribed for many years.  However, I've always had a problem with missed issues and, yes, I am aware there are several "double issues".  I think I miss an issue about once every six weeks.  I've never been able to figure out if the problem happens at the printing facility, distribution center or even the possibility that certain postal employees are interested in reading certain issues.  Do the issues just disappear into thin air?  A couple times I've gotton so frustrated that I've called the magazine & they give you the third degree.  You have to tell them exactly which issues you missed & then they will add exactly that number issues to your subscription.  It's more trouble than it's worth.  I just wish I could get all the issues in the first place.


title: Love it!

title: No magazine received since Nov 2019.

text: We enjoy this magazine. Renewed 2nd year order in Nov 2019 & magazine has not been received. Order details showed correct NEW address in Colorado City, TX. In March 2020, wrote to Rolling Stone through Amazon messaging & requested restart 12 mo subscription & send to correct address listed when order was made. To-date, no response.<br />This is a very high dollar magazine. I hope we get what we paid for!


title: auto renewal scam

text: I did not set this up as auto renewal.  I have cancelled twice with no results.  It is a scam.  I do not recommend subscribing through this link.


title: Garbage

text: I read Rolling Stone starting in the late 60's.  They didn't always get it right and were condescending and pretentious even then, but now?  Total garbage both in content and presentation.

text: great aviation infomation


title: A Metal Magazine done right.

text: Decibel has made me believe in magazine again. I'm like a 3 year old that just got home from the toy store when my new issue of Decibel comes. I can't wait to read it and see what obscure bands I've never heard about will be in there, and also interested in the cover stories on some of the best in Metal. Along with in-depth interviews, Decibel Hall of Fame, reviews that are of great quality, and what seems to be an unstoppable writing output, I will subscribe to this magazine as long as its around.


title: Good for a laugh, but not always that great

text: Lately, I've been disappointed with almost every issue of Revolver. It seems to get so much more boring every issue and they always favor the "in" bands at the moment. I won't be missing this being in my mail when I don't renew my subscription.


title: Excellent product

title: Awesome Magazine

text: I love wired magazine!


title: What a fiasco

text: I subscribed to this magazine a year ago and never received anything.  Customer Service directed my complaint to the Magazine Department, which in turn put me in a loop to the same Customer Service page.  I guess this means that a refund is out of the question...


title: Greating Reading

text: Outdoor Life is great reading along with Petersen's Hunting; if you love hunting and shooting you need to read both.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine - great subscription deal. Very happy...


title: Too political

text: I use to really enjoy reading this book.  Lately it has become so political and has lost the essence of what it used to be. My subscription will not be renewed.


title: Four Stars

text: Very informative and a clear spiritual guide. Lots of food for reflection.


title: too liberal

text: too liberal


title: not very inspiring

text: A family member gave me this as a gift subscription. I have read this magazine for over a year, now. I am a professional Catholic intellectual and am thoroughly familiar with the saints, Church calendar, etc. It is obvious that the editors have a political agenda. At least weekly there is a "Blessed Among Us" biography of a "saintly" person (sometimes they are political figures who had no connection to the Catholic Christian faith at all). The subtle, faith-poisoning, underlying schema of this magazine is "the Church was all backwards and wrong in the 'bad old days' (you should study some history if you actually believe that) and now we suddenly enlightened people are going to bring it all kinds of wisdom from everywhere except Christ and the apostles" so the Church can 'catch up' to our own shallow outlook.<br />I am going to be canceling my subscription as soon as possible. It might offend my family member if they find out, but I can't in conscience continue to support this magazine, even indirectly.


title: Confirms what I suspected

text: I asked for a free copy of Give Us This Day, and after reading through it the first month, I decided I liked it enough to get a 1 year subscription.  My year is nearly up, so I am trying to decide whether to renew or not.  However, I, like a couple of other reviewers here, have noticed some "suspicious" prayer intentions, reflections, and "blessed among us" features.  At first, I thought it must be my imagination.  Perhaps I was reading into those things thoughts that the authors did not intend to convey.  I noticed it first in the prayer intentions.  Then in the Blessed Among Us features.  It didn't really bother me that some of the "blessed"s weren't official saints, or even Catholic.  We all know that there are probably more people in heaven than just those whom the Church has officially canonized.  And perhaps the non catholics were still "searching" and just weren't Catholic....yet.  But then I began to notice it more and more -- prayer intentions for universal health care, and continued dialogue with women and their roles in the church, and other politically charged intentions involving third world nations or hostile nations.  Similar things could be found in the daily reflections and blessed features.  Most seemed innocuous enough on the surface, but although I am not as well read as some of the reviewers here, even I can recognize various "code phrases" and some of the language used by those in the Church with a more liberal agenda.  And so, I am in a quandary.  Do I renew and soak up the good stuff in this magazine, of which there is a lot, while just ignoring the liberal "rest of it," or do I let my subscription run out and try the Magnificat instead, something I have not yet read?  I am inclined to go with the Magnificat, but perhaps I should first read some reviews on that magazine as well.  Thank you to all reviewers who left helpful reviews.


title: THE magazine for Spinners of Fiber

text:
Spin-Off is the MUST HAVE subscription for anyone spinning fiber (wool, silk, cotton, flax, etc.) on a spinning wheel or drop spindle. There are also articles on using the yarn once spun, such as knitting, embroidery and weaving, and how spinners can learn to spin particular fibers for particular uses. Featured articles have been about dyeing fiber and yarns for knitting socks, spinning dog wool, and how to restore or tune-up a spinning wheel. There are often contests on spinning particular fibers. Advertisements inside offer a huge variety of spinning wheels, drop-spindles, combing cards and other accessories, which are often handcrafted. There are notices about upcoming shows and displays of spun fiber-arts.

It is an EXCELLENT magazine for new spinner and veteran alike!

text: I already knew I'd like the magazine, but I was totally excited to see that it arrived in my mailbox in about three weeks, rather than six to twelve!


title: THE magazine for the mystery genre

text: This is the ultimate magazine for mystery readers and mystery writers. From front cover to back, it's full of the information you need to know about new books, favorite authors, and what's going on in the mystery business.


title: If you are looking for a good Cross Stitch Magazine, this is it

text: Great magazine, nice and cute patterns. It offers good details on the designers and the articles are interesting. One of my favorites!


title: Best $19.95 ever spent!!!

text:
Grassroots Motorsports and its sister publication Classic Motorsports Magazine are in my mind two of the best automotive publications out there.  The articles are very informative, and written in a way that any enthusiast will enjoy them.  No matter what their level of ability is. Reading these two magazines is like sitting in the garage listening to a friend tell you of their latest automotive adventures.  This in itself would be enough to make them a must buy for me.

What really makes these two publications special is the community that is built around them. If you take the time to stop by the magazines message boards located at [...] & [...] you will start to get the sense of family that surrounds these two titles.  These two titles are staffed by people who are our friends.  Why shouldn't they be, they are all car nuts just like us.

So got to their website, request a free issue, then come join the family, you'll be glad you did!

title: Throw your other classic car magazines away

text: Classic Motorsports and their sister magazine Grassroots Motorsports are the finest Automotive publications on the market today. Not only do they have useful and timely information, but their events such as the annual Walter Mitty race are second to none. You owe it to yourself to buy this magazine.


title: Independence RULES!

text:
Tired of Car Magazines that are little more than thinly veiled advertisments for parts manufacturers?  So-called "Tech" articles that are long on flash, but short on detail?  Then Classic Motorsports is the car magazine for you!  I love their DETAILED tech articles.  I love the sheer variety of the cars they cover, and each article is an education.

Classic Motorsports (and it's sister publication, Grassroots Motorsports) are independently owned.  They are not part of some huge media conglomerate.  It's owned and written by real gearheads, and it shows on every page.

title: Car Magazine for the rest of us.

text: GRM is a car magazine for the rest of us.  There are lots of great articles about fixing up that autocross or race car, and it isn't just bling.  The articles are based on products and techniques that work, and not just advertising sponsors.  Truly a great read, I am excited every time I see it in the mailbox.


title: Great Magazine with a vintage racing slant.

text: Classic Motorsports is truly a great magazine.  It covers a variety of classic cars in a way that they have not been seen before.  This isn't your average magazine about history, this is a magazine for drivers.  There is great coverage of restoration projects, performance projects, and even a great buyers guide in every issue.  If you have or want a classic to drive and race, I would truly recomend this magazine.


title: bad

text: It's not what I want


title: Awesome!

text: I ordered this magazine after my husband saw a copy at a friends home.  It has brought back memorys that only those that serve can understand.  It is interesting to find out where the ships ended up and why.  Keep this wonderful magazine alive for the many men and women who find solace in it.


title: One Star

text: I did not receive my tote bag!!


title: Print Magazine Not Received

text: On Sept. 19, 2020, I ordered 2 subscriptions.  One for myself and one as a gift.  As of January 29, I have not received magazines or a response to my inquiry about not receiving the magazines.


title: Out of print

text: I received a letter in the mail stating that Entertainment is now longer publishing and that I would received People magazine for the rest of my subscription ( I had just purchased the yearly subscription ). Three months later, after receiving the letter stating I will receive People magazine, I still have not received a single issue. Waste of time and money.


title: Wonderful Gift For My Teen Daughter

text: Wonderful age appropriate Christian magazine for teen girls..My daughter reads it cover to cover and has grown in her love for others and in her desire to be the kind of young woman God wants her to be..BRAVO!


title: this survey is a waste of time

text:
This is a renewal. I think an automatic renewal. Period hasn't even started yet. Therefore, this survey is a waste of time!!!!

title: I believe this is a scam.  only receive an issue when I complain that I don't receive it

text: The picture of yankee magazine was in my doctor's office and there was a large ad in the back warning of subscription scams by third parties.  Since I have had this subscription for over a year and have received 2 issues, I would assume they were referring to this


title: Seamless renewal

text: Seamless renewal  thanks to Amazon<br />Did not have to remember to renew!!!! love the price, and the magazine is outstanding when you live in New England!!!!


title: Love it!

text: I have been buying it since HS 15 years ago! Love it!!


title: ONE OF THE FEW MAGAZINES THAT YOU NEVER THROW AWAY

text:
Since its fisrt issue in 1994, Mojo magazine is THE SOURCE for all things rock and roll.  What I love most about this magazine is that they do ridiculously exaustive articles on semi-obscure but important groups of past and present.  Where else would you read a 19 page story about the making of Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, or the cultural importance of the Purple Rain soundtrack?  The writing in this magazine is so great that they can make a synopsis of the son of Ringo Starr's musical career be the most interesting thing you've ever read. The British music journalism market is as cutthroat as it gets, and only the best publications survive.  My biggest concern is that after more than 10 years of such writing that subject matter become a shortage to where they begin recycle articles from past issues because they ran out of bands to write about.

That is to say it is not totally without flaw.  British music magazines have this awful habit of putting together these 'best albums ever made' lists every two years with questionable entries.  Sorry, but calling Kula Shaker the 27th best band of all time in 1997 is just stupid.  Also, since this is imported from the UK (would it really but their balls to have a US publishing outlet like a majority of magazines out there?) you not only pay a hefty price for it, it is hit or miss that you end up with the included CD that comes with it.


title: Great Magazine From Over the Sea

text: love this magazine it has all the new items of crafts to use when making cards.  Keep up the good work.


title: Five Stars

text: My son finally is enjoying reading something!


title: Girl's Life... Haha. This is not the life I want for my daughter!

text: This magazine is absolutely shameful! Especially when viewed on display next to "Boy's Life" it would seem that we are teaching our daughters that the only thing they are good for is pleasing boys and men. Boy's Life magazine is full of adventure, interesting books, school tips and sports - boys actually doing things. Apparently a "Girl's Life" is only good for shopping and putting on make-up in order to be a sexual object. This magazine makes me sick. We are selling out on our girls if this is the smut we want them to aspire to.


title: Be prepared to be subscribed for life

text: Be prepared to be subscribed for life.  I have tried to unsubscribe from this magazine several times, have sent them emails, etc. I don't have a preteen girl so I hate the waste! I hope they stop coming someday!


title: This magazine is appalling

text: I never write reviews, but I feel like I have to put this out there. I loath this magazine. It's like Cosmo for children. The underlying message of the magazine is that your value is based on how you look and what you have. The cover is all makeup, shopping and boys. It's like the opposite of Boys' Life magazine where the message is to learn how to be a good citizen and gain useful skills. It's fine as an occasional diversion, but shovelling this garbage into your brain every month cannot be healthy for a pre-teen girl. Go find something more mentally nutritious, it shouldn't be hard. I would rather my daughter read People magazine any day of the week.


title: Four and a half stars indeed!

text: Girls' life is the best teen magazine there is! It's packed with CUTE fashion ideas, easy makeup and hair tips, friend advice, body advice, boy tips, quizzes, crafts, and recipes, too! Each issue even includes a special report, like how it's not smart to become a teen mom, or how badly drugs and alchohol can affect you! The only reason I give it four and a half stars is because, some of the makeup featured is too dark for girls, plus, there's some articles that are about boyfriends, which some girls are too young for. It's a perfectly fine magainze, but only for girls 13 and older, I would say. You should get this magazine, plus it's a GREAT price! Each issue is only $4.00 and is at least 80 pages, and you can even get a 3-year subscription (18 issues) for only $18.00!!!! Dig in to this magazine!!!!!!!


title: Not bad at all :) but kinda pricey

text: This magazine is a great idea for kids who are anywhere from ages 8 to  11, but afterwards, I suggest that they read something else. Once you've come to that age, I recommend Discovery Girls instead. American Girl has so many creative craft ideas, plus fun quizzes and adorable stickers and posters. This magazine is truly great. I only rate it four stars because the pricing isn't the best. The magazine has only 50 pages and is $5.00 per issue, or $23 for a one year subscription, which is only saving $7.00. Shouldn't it be a little bit less pricey? Other than that, I love this magazine. You should totally buy it, plus it makes a great gift!


title: Super Inappropriate!

text: This magazine is way too inappropriate for young girls in elementary school. I teach 4th grade and was recently given some issues of this magazine and was shocked by the content that was aimed at 10 year old girls! Avoid it and invest your money in something more substantial in value for the young girl in your life.


title: Inappropriate for girls in middle school

text: My 6th grade daughter subscribed to this magazine through a school fundraiser.  This magazine was suggested as appropriate for girls aged 10 and up.  The first article that my daughter read to me had information about teenage pregnancy, abortions, and the pill.  And it was inferred that this is acceptable behavior.  It is not acceptable behavior in my opinion.  I cancelled the magazine subscription and I plan to contact the editor of this magazine.  I do not recommend this for a middle school daughter.  I suggest you read a few articles before considering to get this magazine.


title: About as Anti-Feminist as you can get. Why would you purchase this?

text: This is everything that is wrong with our culture. Between the hyperfocused sexulization of teenagers (they're kids!) and the lack of focus on empowerment and moving them toward a better future, there is nothing good in this magazine. Literally trash. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Can we talk about real issues like how to deal with the stress of hormonal changes, what kind of career options there are for women, why racism is a problem, and what is going on in schools (bullying, rape culture, etc)? Building strong women, who stand for each other should be the focus, not what perfume or makeup makes you a 'catch- let's teach our future generations that playing to the patriarchy is outdated. This is gross. We can do better. As parents and as women. We can do better. Do not recommend. Will not ever buy.


I have 10 & 12 yr old daughters. The articles are too mature... Talking about dating & kissing, etc. I think 14 is a better age marker for this mag. Disappointed


title: Paid for but never received

text: Purchased this as a gift for my granddaughter and never received any issues. I just got an email to renew my subscription. No thanks !!


title: Girls Life Magazine: NOT for age group listed

text: I am 16 and today i picked up my little sisters, who is 12, girls life magazine that we got her for christmas and was shocked at what i saw! First of all, the girl on the cover is clearly much older than a 10-15 year old and i know, all magazines have older than the age model on the cover, but still. Then i opened the magazine to see what the content was like and was disgusted. All there was in the magazine was advice on boys, make up, and fashion. Which, to be honest, girls 10-15 shouldn'tcare about all that much! They are still young enough to not care about what they are wearing. But what horrified me tha most was the two articles that were at least two pages each on girls questioning their sexuality and advice on how to do deal with it. Yes, i know that this comes up in society and that girls deal with this but not until high school! And girls this age shouldnt be reading about it or be told to question themselves at this age. I remember at my sisters age wanting to get this magazine but at that time my mom didnt let me. I am glad she didnt let me and we will now be throwing out or canceling the subscription. I loved American girl magazine when i was 10, and that is a much better option[[ASIN:B002PXW0TE Girls' Life Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)]]


title: Don't make a mistake!

text: Unless you want your daughter to learn about "how to look hot on a date", "breaking up with a boyfriend",  etc., do not order this magazine for a girl under the age of 16.  Promoting the show "Pretty Little Liars" is not my ideal of helping young, impressionable girls to be true to themselves.


title: and a quiz to find out if your in love. A 12 yr old shouldn't be worried about ...

text: My 12 yr old received the subscription for a Christmas present. Despite the magazine saying it's for 10-15 yr Olds it's not. The main articles this month are about how to decode your bf's texts, how to say no to guys at a party, and a quiz to find out if your in love. A 12 yr old shouldn't be worried about decoding history notes not a boys texts. A 12 yr old shouldn't be at a party where she would have to say no. And a 12 yr old definitely isn't in love. It wasn't bad it would be better for 15-18 yr Olds tho.


title: Great!

text: I have heard a lot of complaints on this magazine. Mainly on the fact that young girls (of the age 13 or younger) should not be reading about kissing and makeup, but personally I believe that times have changed and I can see why they recommended this magazine for girls ages 10-15. I am 11 and I wear makeup and I have a boyfriend, so I think this is an awesome mag! If you really don't want your child reading this, try [[ASIN:B00006K37V American Girl]].


title: Really

text: I have a girl scout and this magazine is not for younger girls to be reading, come on let little girls be girls before advertizing for sex and boys.  I will not renew my daughter subscription.  What about article about helping in our world, community service, self esteem, making a postitive outlook in life.


title: Totally Inappropriate - should have zero stars!

text: This magazine is NOT appropriate for tween girls! My mother bought a subscription for my 12 year old and thankfully held on to it for us to review before giving it to her. One one of the columns where people write in it talked about a 16-year old having and abortion! NOT FOR 12 YEAR OLDS!!! It's unfortunate too because the Boys Life magazine which is published by the same company is actually very good for young boys...


title: Great gift!

text: Gave the journal as a gift to my 35 year daughter.  She does yoga and has loved it.  I don't know all the details.  I just know she wants me to renew  it since the time for renewal is pretty soon.


title: Great

text: I Love it.


title: Mags

text: This subscription was HORRIBLE! I only received TWO magazines. I had to bug and bug them for those two. Not worth your time and money to subscribe wit ugh Amazon!! Go directly to the source!


title: THE MAGAZINE FOR QUILTERS

text: This magazine is a must have.  It is the established choice for many years to showcase the art of quilting.  Recently, the magazine has added more quilt projects.


title: worth it

text: Very diverse information, all very helpful.


title: Something for everyone....

text: Which isn't necessarily good.  This magazine tries to appeal to every outdoorsman, from the tree-hugger to the blood-and-gore hunter/fisherman.  Lot's of great articles on bird watching and state parks but also deer hunting and bass fishing.  If that kind of thing offends you, you'll be better off reading Texas Highways Magazine.


title: A dream of a magazine

text: Wonderful photographs, beautiful interiors and write-ups. A dream of a magazine.


title: Hands-down, the Best in Class

text: As a 20-year subscriber, I can easily say that this is without a doubt the singular publication in the field: always first-class, high-quality articles; great photography and artwork; and super-educational. Anyone interested in the outdoors and the people who live and work there would enjoy this publication. Most noteworthy is the editorial balance; it doesn't take sides in the environment vs. economy debate but rather recognizes that a working forest can and does support people and plants and animals. The variety is incredible and topics are so varied that there is always a wealth of information in every issue. Do yourself a favor and try it.


title: Bad PR.  Poor subject choice.  Will never have this subscription.

text: This magazine does not respect the views and complaints of it's costomer base.  Don't disagree with them, or you will be regarded as a paid shill, and not possibly a human who truly does not align views with the subjects they decide to glorify- AKA The Food Boob.


title: This magazine SUCKS!

text: The magazine articles are okay, they do not have stories on mixed cultures. The whole magazine focus on Caucasian not mixed cultures. This magazine only catered to Caucasians. Sorry never get this magazine at all.


title: Still waiting

text: Long lead time for the orders. After few weeks time I am still waiting to get the first issue...


title: Overall Enjoyed but Unnecessarily Graphic

text: I thought the mix of low end and high end clothes were very appealing to me since I enjoy shopping at many different types of stores. I did, however, feel that many of the pictures were unnecessarily graphic, especially if my children were to pick it up and thumb through it. Overall, I enjoyed my first issue! :)


title: educated palate

text: GASTRONOMICA is the intelligent chef's magazine, filled with provocative essays and historical pieces that reveal well-researched topics and musings on the art of food and its place in society. The magazine is scholarly, insightful, playful, and highly articulate in form and function.


title: Not what I expected

text: I am so disappointed in the KIDS magazine.  It isn't what I was expecting at all!  It is a lot of advertising and the print is so small it is difficult for an adult to read.  No chance an 8 yr old can read it on his own!  What happened to the classy WORLD magazine for kids?  This is a mix of a lot of junky stuff on the pages.  Wish I had known the format and the tiny print. I'm so sorry I ordered it for the community center kid's program, ages 6 to 11.

title: Loving Amazon

text: Love the digital version and the hard copy too:)


“The adolescent years of today’s youth are not anything like my own children’s experiences, and certainly not anything like mine! Much of what we learned about the world came from books like ‘The Hardy Boys’ or ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ Not anymore. Today, our children (and grandchildren) move around in constant communication with the world, their friends, and with a bit of luck, us! The magazines of my childhood have held little interest—until now.
'Story Monsters Ink,' is geared to the interests and abilities of children of all ages—including the pre-teen through teen demographic. Even more amazing, it appeals to parents and teachers, too! There is something for everyone. Every issue spotlights an author, athlete, celebrity, or other subjects close to the heart. It inspires youngsters to read, to learn, and to even write their own stories, which could be published in the magazine.
The Maricopa County Library District, serving over 4 million people and spanning an area over 9,000 square miles, will soon be launching a new website and is proud to include a link to the latest issues of this wonderful magazine.”

title: Lacks style

text:
I have picked up several copies of this magazine at the newstand. I have not bought one copy. The patterns in the magazine lack style. They also use rather unflattering and uncomfortable yarns (eg scratchy hairy synthetics for ponchos). I have not seen one item that I would make.

To subscribe to "Crochet World" you must enjoy making and/or wearing items such as a mulit-coloured jumper with crayons crocheted all over it. But if, like me, you cringe at the thought, check out "Crochet!" magazine.


title: Reason Renewal - always get a duplicate issue

text: I do like the convenience of renewing my magazine subscription through Amazon, but for some reason I always end up getting a duplicate issue. It happened again this year. I have two April issues.


title: Great content but not enough

text: I have to say... the content is rather great and so is the price. My 3 year old wants to go through all of it in one sitting and he has learned sooo much. But the issues are that it’s not as much content to last for a month before the next magazine, the material of the magazine is super weak so most have ended up torn, and finally, I wish there was more visuals. I’m certain that the National Geographic archives have plenty of material that can be repurposed! Why not use it?!


title: Great  for teens!

text: My daughter has been reading this since she was about 13 and she is now 16. We just purchased another 2 years since she really enjoys reading Cosmogirl.


title: Entertaining

text: Thumbs up


title: Je rêve de France

text: Reading this magazine is a great way to dream about places in France, the culture, food, language, arts, events and even politics.  I've used it to plan two trips to France.


title: Good information

text: I love this magazine because it lets you know about the latest trends and has good information on design.


title: ... husband loves this magazine and the auto renewal was great!

text: My husband loves this magazine and the auto renewal was great!


title: awesome..but it's too short

text: American Girl's just right for the parents who think their children aren't ready for teen magazines like Teen People and YM. American Girl doesn't have any articles about fashion or makeup, but there are plenty of articles about real girls and stuff like that. American Girl is perfect for girls ages 8 to 12. Girls 13 and older really should read teen magazines like Seventeen. The great thing about American Girl is that there are NO ADVERTISEMENTS!!!!! The bad thing is that American Girl is WAY too short. It's only about 50 pages long. Normal magazines around 150 pages. And the price is way expensive. I mean, 30 dollars for 6 magazines???? I recommend Girl's Life if you think that American Girl is too expensive. Girl's Life is a longer magazine and aimed for a little higher age group, like 10-14, but it's not really a "teen" magazine, but it has some advertisements in it.


title: Five Stars

text: Great as advertised would go again


title: Not reliable

text: Continually says it will come running late. Has never come.


title: Unsubscribe

text: Great as a gift for my father in law.  He loves it every Christmas.


title: MUCH HIGHER THAN BUYING FROM MAGAZINE

text:
I had not idea that you could order that magazine directly from them until I bought one from our local Super Market. I was surprised at the difference that I had already paid to order from Amazon and what it was there.  I canceled my order and ordered from them.

Some items are much less on Amazon and some are much more. You just have to be careful.

A magazine is a magazine no matter where it comes from.


title: AWESOME PAULA

text: I ordered this magazine for my grandmother, as we are both HUGE Paula fans. We got the first issue and read it front to back several times. It is an awesome publication filled with recipes and pictures and stories about Paula's life. I think it really captures the feeling of Paula Deens show.


title: I like the magazine

text: This isn't a slickly-produced title like Gourmet or Cooking Light. It's a locally done magazine skewed toward an older audience with easy recipes using supermarket ingredients (what "semi-homemade" SHOULD be). I don't think the recipes are of the caliber you'd find in one of Paula's cookbooks, but they are easy and most people will enjoy them. Note: As in many magazines, seasonings in the amounts called for in these recipes will result in a bland finished product. You can easily double the seasonings in them on the first try, without even tasting the recipe first.


title: Paula Deen

text: I watch Paula on TV as often as I can and the magazine gives another chance to get her recipes and see all the things she is up to.  I really enjoyed the two copies of the magazine that I have read  Keep up the good work and Thank You for being a real down home southern country girl.  Me too.


title: Nice magazine if they will send it to you!

text: Ordered this magazine in July took over two months to receive. I had to call the company several times to get it. I would see new issues in the store before I would receive mine. Customer service for this magazine is not very helpful. It takes them two weeks to send out another magazine by that time the magazine is getting outdated. I finally just gave up and canceled. They seemed grateful to give me my money back. I don't understand why they can't send these out on time they seemed to not understand either and replied that they get a lot of calls from people not getting their magazines on time. Seems to me they would fix the problem instead of just giving your money back. If you like the magazine just buy it in the store you will get to read it a lot faster.


title: The only thing missing is the wonderful sound of Paula's Cheerful voice!

text:
The photos are wonderful, and you can almost taste the food. Her recipes are easy to follow, home style, absolutely delicious, BUTTERY wonderful, and I can't wait to get the next issue!

By the way PAULA---  Please help us to stop using the hydrogenated oil Trans Fat!

BUTTER all the way!

Smart Balance makes a NON-hydrogenated shortening you can go half and half with BUTTER for a great healthy pie crust!!!

Thanks all!


title: Cooking with Paula Dean

text: The item was for my sister-in-law and she loved it so much she had me renew the magazine another year.


title: Nice Photography

text: Got this as a surprise for my boyfriend who is an avid fisherman and he loves it. I thought it was a little skinny but he really enjoyed the first issue. I do agree thus far the articles have been interesting; would recommend, especially for the $5 Amazon special. Can't beat that price!
