title: Quality instruction and ideas.

text: If you sew, you know. This is THE Bible for the Sewist. I have had a subscription for many years then dropped it, thinking I didn't need it or not happy with the trend toward "easy" sewing. I am advanced and found the content repetitive. Over the last year or so the magazine has returned to its roots but continues to offer information for all levels of expertise.


title: Worth the dollars

text: Very good source of ideas and trying new ways to cook


title: Caution! Price increase after initial subscription

text: I ordered these for my mother but did not know that the price would increase so high after the initial charge. It is cheaper to subscribe from a card insert that’s in the magazine at the grocery store.


title: My Favorite Magazine for Cooks

text: If you enjoy cooking, or want to learn, this is hands down the best cooking magazine there is! No advertisements. Each recipe is tested in several ways to find the best and tastiest way to make something. Has great tips, and recommendations on kitchen gadgets, tools, or ingredients. In black and white, except the inside back cover is a color picture of each of the recipes in that issue.


title: this is a great magazine

text: I love this magazine and I can't wait for the next issue to come out! this is very informational reading.


title: Perfect gift for hard-to-shop for Mom

text: I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase for my Mom's birthday!  She;s very hard to shop for, but National Geographic History magazine is perfect for her, she loves it. Quality materials and printing, lots of interesting photos and illustrations, just enough information without being too academic for her, and a wide range of fascinating subject matter.  Magazine delivery started when promised, and I will likely renew this subscription for Mom each year.


title: Perfect for some older fans.

text:
I have been trying to keep my aging parents mentally engaged. They love their TV time but they can watch it all day and not be able to relay a thing they've seen.

The family has always been a fan of Reader's Digest so when I realized a large print edition was available I put in my subscription.

Pricier than the normal size, which was to be expected, but it so much easier for my parents to actually read the print that they don't get frustrated and give up on it.

I am very pleased with this product.


title: Awesome magazine with lots of great ideas.

text: I love this magazine! So many great ideas! Wish it came out more often. It is going to be a permanent part of my library for a reference.


title: To costly

text: The cost of a two month for $150 and only mon - fri is crazy. I will not be reordering this paper again. What a rip off


title: Five Stars

text: Will keep this forever.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine!


title: Two Stars

text: Too many ads.


title: Reliable Favorite

text: Gift for preschoolers. It's full of beautiful artwork, original stories, and poems. I read another review which was, in my opinion, overly critical. It's a great way to encourage the thrill of new stories, ownership of literature, and can stretch a gift out over an entire year, which in my book is a pretty neat gift. I've never been disappointed by any of the publications (Spider, Cricket, etc.).


title: But still fun to read

text: More ads than expected. But still fun to read.


title: Five Stars

text: nice articles, diverse topics... great for teens too


title: My neice loves it

text: I purchased this subscription for my niece that is having some trouble reading. She loves animals, which I hoped would pique her interest in reading about them. It has worked wonderfully. She will read me animal facts and not even realize she is reading and understanding the words. This has been monumental in adding to her confidence in reading.

text: First issue was shredded;  email to publisher changed the expiration date to March 2017.  The subjects provided some new information to the reader.


title: Love love love!

text: Love this subscription. Makes me want to hike everywhere! Very informative. Definitely one I prefer to get on paper and not online.


title: Bad print. Too small and hard to read - even with prescription reading glasses.

text: The quality of print is really hard to read. I am going to cancel my subscription, please.


title: Two Stars

text: I'm not into arts and crafts. This wasn't what I expected.


title: Two Stars

text: Not how I remembered this magazine. Didn't care for it.


title: Still working great after a year of use.

text: This really does the job well.  The reviewers talking about it leaking, etc. was kind of funny because the more it is twisted around on the faucet it will eventually leak and spray.  Solution: twist it back on.


title: Entertaining

text: Entertaining magazine, I order this as a gift and they love this magazine. :)


title: My husband loves this!

text: I ordered this magazine for my husband as a gift and he loves it. I don't understand anything about sports, but he says that this magazine offers more insight than most sports magazines. I'll be ordering this him as a gift from now on.

title: How to be a nerd when you are not one?

text:
The "Wired" magazine is the cheap and easy way to be a nerd without really being one. It is a techie magazine for everyone (including techies). It features happening people and happening things in the technology world. It also writes it in a way that is cool and hip. And for purveyors of unique print matter, this stands out for its production quality. Its glitzy yet understated if you know what I mean.
Content is not just about gadgets but all things technology. For purveyors of pure science, PopSci magazine is better. But for vignettes like approach to happening things, Wired works really well.
And for $10, you cant really complain.


title: Great packaging

text:
This magazine is packaged very well for the casual reader. I would term it more as a Food Network Magazine than a recipe digest as some people might expect it to be. Yes, there are some recipes but its more about cooking tools (pretty expensive ones at that), fancy gear, insight into Food Network chefs, book promotions and then a few recipes.
Don't take me wrong, I like it but it is definitely not for the recipes it packs.
And for the rare vegetarian chef/cooking enthusiast out there, not your kind of book.

I had to downloaded the e magazine, then search for the download and move it to my kindle library, once that was done I rebooted and it was there. I haven't received my print version yet, but I'm happy so far. LOVE MENS HEALTH "COOK ONCE EAT FOR A WEEK" SECTION!


title: Will not renew subscription

text: Nothing interesting or useful.


title: Wonderful magazine.

text: We love National Geographic.  It's great to get both the magazine and the digital copy.  Be sure to track the subscription date, I waiting for it to renew on my current order.

text: Great publication but as a liberal it can be depressing to read. You realize how much things are messed up


title: Ridiculous Amount of ads, and Where is my Free Digital Version?

text: Had previously subscribed to print magazine a few years ago and liked it. Just subscribed to print version again, but the volume of ads has increased substantially. Had to go through 22 pages of ads before getting to first recipe, and there were tons more throughout. I realize ads keep subscription cost low, but with that many ads the magazine should be free. I'd rather pay more and get a magazine worth looking at.<br />Also, when I subscribed on Amazon, it said I'd get free digital subscription after I received my first print issue by entering info from magazine label. Now that offer seems to have disappeared. Very disappointed about that. Not happy.


title: I like it

text: Good price


title: TV Guide

text: I like the idea of getting the guide in the mail. Great price

text: Not that interesting to me but others might like ir


title: Great Magazine

text: I love this magazine.  I accidentally let my subscription lapse and I'm so sorry I did as I really miss reading it.  I'm an avid gardener, DIYer, and I like to make items from scratch, so it's perfect for me.  It's always full of helpful information and interesting facts.  It's well-written, has great photos and is an easy read.  I always look forward to the next issue.  Mother Earth does a great job with this magazine.

title: Scientific American delivers the goods

text: Have been a subscriber off and on since the 70s. It still delivers the goods.  The most recent issue was, frankly, a little weak, with a sensationalistic attempt to make the Keystone XL pipeline the decisive moment in climate change -- it's just a supply blip and will not change the global trajectory of climate emissions.  But on the whole much enjoyed. I wish it was a weekly.


title: None received

text: Not sure as I have yet to receive a copy.  It is very hard to fairly judge a magazine or anything for that matter when not one magazine has arrived.


title: Ok

text: Ok magazine, other home magazines I like better. Good price thru Amazon.

title: Useful magazine, good pointers

text: Always a good read with great ideas and good project details.  A tradesman, usually I start with the tool related stories.  However, there are usually tips from other trades I can use or adapt to my projects.


Maybe the best and most informative magazine I have ever subscribed to. Covers a wide variety of subjects. Reports on stories you would probably never hear about in any other magazine. Also in some cases sets history straight on some stories.

text: True news without bias.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this subscription -- so many wonderful projects.


title: Meh

text: Received my first issue this week and it’s quite thin and lacking on content. Mostly just ads. Will not be renewing


title: Amazing magazine!

text: This magazine will always make you appreciate our planet. From below the ocean to beyond the atmosphere, it covers everything. Skip those fashion or entertainment magazines and get this instead.


title: So many tips

text: I have always enjoyed this magazine. When I saw the subscription deal on hereI immediately subscribed


title: sent to me without my authorization.

text: Be careful when viewing magazines online.  They started sending this to my address after I looked at it , but then bought a different cowboy magazine for a relative.


title: Taste of Home magazine

text: The magazine is not thick. I wasn’t express with food items. What a waste!


title: Used to love it

text: I used to love this magazine but now it is so inebriated (pardon the pun) with articles about alcohol (making, drinking, locating) that it is just ridiculous.  You would think with all the problems (health, psychological, societal) that alcohol causes, that a magazine supposedly about tools, mechanics, science, etc. would steer clear of that.  Makes me wonder if the magazine isn't being run by a bunch of alcoholics.  Maybe they should change the name to Popular Wasted.


title: Son loved it!

text: Got our first subscription today. Which I did order it in December but it told me at check out it would be March before it delivered so not upset over that. My son is 8 and just loved getting his own mail. He sat down and stated ready it right away. Look forward to all the other month subscriptions.


title: Good magazine, a little pricey though

text: Lots of good articles about new gear and places to go. Sort of sporadically shows up at my house though.


title: Highly Recommended

text: I purchased a subscription for my 7-year old niece who loves it! She actually shares and reads each issue to her younger brothers.


title: I like the magazine

text: I like the magazine, but I find I have learned more about the various forms of writing from the writers Digest.  I also receive Poet and Writers Magazine.  Being a writer I have to keep my mind sharp and learn any new techniques.


title: Highly Recommend Dr. Oz's magazine.

text: I am no longer able to watch Dr. Oz on tv due to my schedule. I love his magazine. I keep them all to refer back.


title: I love Dr. Oz

text: I love Dr. Oz. I used to watch his television show every day until I became to busy with my career to do so. When I saw the magazine I was so excited and immediately purchased a subscription. I don't feel like I am missing so much anymore. I've learned a lot from him over the years.

title: Family tradition

text: Been in my home all my life


title: Just ok, I did not renew

text: I expected to enjoy this subscription more than I did.  I love Oprah and think she is very insightful and interesting.  However, this magazine contained a lot of fluff.  I found myself only reading about half of the content.


title: Not Real Simple

text: I fully agree with many other reviewers on here that the name of this magazine is somewhat of a betrayal of its contents. My first impression after reading the first article I received was that this magazine is really not about simplifying one's life. In fact, many of the articles only serve to complicate one's life. That sentiment hasn't changed after a year of subscription, which I haven't renewed. I enjoyed the recipes, but I enjoy recipes I find for free on allrecipes.com more. I like the tips for repurposing old stuff and book ideas. All in all, I think if the magazine simply changed its name to something more fitting it would create better reviews by readers who weren't set with false expectations.


title: A classic

text: It is NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. Enough said! One of the older publications that is still hanging around. Sometimes you may have to ignore its political BS inserted by the writers/editors into the story but other than that its always a good read for kids and adults.


title: Please Mr. Postman

text: This might be a great magazine but we'll never know because we never received it. Not happy.


title: Popular Mechanics

text: Since I haven't received the magazine yet, it is very difficult to review it at this time.  However, I can review the 6-8 week delivery time as a minus 5!

There are features of horse trails across the globe, a calendar of national horse shows- Western and English - tips for riding, horse health, etc - everything. Humor, horsey gifts, riding apparel recommendations, etc. If you like or own a horse, this magazine is perfect.<br />The subscription is irregular but frequent enough that I don't care.

title: Keeps Us In Touch with Santa Fe

text: News about Santa Fe goings on and art.  A good way to keep in touch.


title: Packed with interesting articles and not a rehash of internet content - brilliant!

text:
Excellent magazine with lots of interesting and relevant articles on scientific matters without being too technical and yet not being a "dumbed-down" glossy.

What's refreshing too is to see that the magazine has a fairly high number of articles compared to the advertising - so many magazines nowadays are swamped with so much advertising that it's hard to find the actual text of the magazine, not so with Popular Science.  Good stuff.


title: Love love love this magazine

text: This is a wonderful magazine full of garden ideas.  I would totally recommend it. I devour mine in one sitting.


title: Everyday Food magazine for everyday

text: The Everyday Food magazine is a great investment.  It has fairly simple recipes that are very good.  My whole family gets involved in making things out of this magazine.  My husband, who is a wonderful chef, finds these recipes to be exceptional as well.  AND THAT'S a testament to the genuine quality that comes out of Everyday Food magazine.


title: No Black Clutch!

text: I liked the look of that little black clutch.  Where is it?


title: Breath of Fresh Air

text: Here in North Carolina, Jewish Currents is  a life line to Jewish progressive thought.  Over the years it has become a full-fleshed, inclusive magazine, well worth the subscription.


title: Will  pay for itself in great ideas

text: Equus is all the only magazine that most horse owners will ever need.  It's inexpensive, informative for new and experienced horsemen alike, and well-written, -photographed, and -produced.  I find the medical articles especially helpful in highlighting current medical problems and illustrating the best solutions with clear, instructive photos and directions. I clip an article from nearly every issue, and I've owned horses for10 years now.  There's also been some great series on the origin of specific breeds.  You'd think that an article about the origin of thoroughbreds would be a real snoozer, but it explained the lack of Triple Crown winners  and the frequency of breakdowns at the track. So long as I own a horse, I'll get Equus, if only to stay current on the latest treatments.<br />I  received no compensation for this review.


title: Great magazine

text: My kids love this and look forward to receiving it each month.  Nice to have a kid friendly educational magazine without tons of junk ads.


title: Its a magazine about planes

text:
Its got planes and such.  They have wings and everything.

In reality its a good magazine. I have an interest in getting my pilots license and I got this magazine to get more information.


title: This subscription was a Christmas gift for my daughter in another state.

text: She reported having received Two issues in January though we had a delivery date in mid Feb.  This made us both very happy.  We have read this magazine since she was a little girl being raised at a stables in Southern California.  We will both enjoy it once again.  Quality as always  and interesting articles.  Photos we love.


title: Renewed my subscription again!

text: Love this magazine!


title: Great for people who like to cook!

text: I order this every year for my best friend. I skipped one year and she quickly asked me to renew it for her. She loves to cook.


title: Comes on time

text: Enjoy ready


title: Good stuff

text: Wonder how to spend those idle moments.  This magazine is great to pass the time, and unlike so many it isn't a bear to read.  Some go on and on about ridiculous things, but this is very focused and of all things capable of being finished.


title: Bathroom reading


title: Good bargain

text: This beats subscribing directly from TV Guide.  OK, here are some more words that you required.  I would not have started this if I knew there was a minimum amount of response required.


title: Great magazine

text: This magazine always has good things we need to know.  Great recipes.


title: Only received two issues and already receiving renewal notices?

text: Hoping I receive all six issues. After 2nd issue I am already receiving a letter from Penny Marketing that says, "It's time to renew your subscription..." ?


title: Issues are improving in thickness

text:
My first magazine, the March issue. Thin magazine, lots of advertisements, not what I ever, ever, expected from Martha Stewart. I honestly thought it was going to be a beefy magazine, but it was unusually flimsy. I am hoping the next issue will improve. I just expected something more substantial, but I know times are changing. Colorful, easy-to-read. It arrived in plastic, unbent and in perfect condition

UPDATE: Issues have gradually increased in thickness and information. I love Martha Stewart and had first wondered why it was arriving so skimpy. Appears to be improving greatly. Changed my rating from one star to four. May need to change it to five soon. Thanks, Martha!


title: Best Magazine on the Market

text: I ,one this magazine.  I th8nk it’s a great mix of politics, current evemts, theatre, movies and television.  The magazine also lets me know about museums, events, new restaurants and stores in New York.  This magazine also tells me sometimes about trending stores and excellent sales.  I love the crossword and the last page scale of current events is excellent


title: Overly simplistic content

text: I love National Geographic and have been reading it for 20+ years, so I eagerly ordered National Geographic Kids for my 6 year-old daughter.  Sadly, this skinny magazine is full of ads for products that are not what I would associate with National Geographic (toys, sugary foods, TV shows).  I could turn a blind eye to the ads if the content were of the caliber I would expect from NatGeo, but sadly, the content is underwhelming.  I was looking for the thoughtful and mind-expanding reporting and photography that I've come to expect from National Geographic, but with shorter articles, simpler vocabulary, and more youth-friendly subject matter.  NatGeo Kids overshoots the ideal of "simple"; articles are very short (4-pages, max, and even then more pictures than words), and don't offer much to interest the curious mind for more than a few minutes.


title: Love it.

text: Crazy nerdy sexy cool.


title: Very happy

text: Good recipes and pictures.


title: Worth the price.

text: We are getting older and the smaller print in the regular Readers Digest is a bit small for us. But I read most everything in this one easily. It even has the jokes !!!!

title: Best Magazine For a Cyclist

text: Arrived on time, everything went well.  It arrived earlier than it said which I felt was solid.  I look forward to future magazines.


title: Seventeen

text:
'Seventeen' is a wonderful magazine for a young woman (older teen 16+). It's full of fashion, makeup, beauty, fitness, articles, tips & tricks. Vibrant pictures! The clothes & makeup are nice. Interesting/informative articles.

I say older teen b/c parents may believe that this publication is appropriate for young teens (middle school). PARENTAL CAUTION: The sex articles may be too mature for a young teen, as they are explicitly written.

Overall, a well-rounded magazine.

-Chloe


title: Teen Vogue...not just for teens!

text:
I'm 23 & I still enjoy reading 'Teen Vogue'.  This little magazine, although small, packs a powerful punch!  'Teen Vogue' is full of fun, stylish clothes/products!

Sure, numerous clothes/products featured are haute couture, but it's called 'Teen VOGUE' for a reason ('Teen Vogue' would naturally mirror its counterpart, 'Vogue')!

Others have decried the size of the magazine itself.  I love how 'Teen Vogue' is digest-size, making it stand out on news stands & easier to transport (as opposed to lugging around a thicker, larger magazine).

Reason for 4-Stars: I do wish, however, that the publishers would rename the magazine (i.e. 'Miss Vogue', 'Ms. Vogue', 'All Vogue', 'Just Vogue', etc.) b/c it's certainly not exclusive to teens.

-Chloe

text: I bought this magazine because it contains real life stories.I have not received my first issue yet but I am sure it will be excellent.I am looking forward to read it.


title: Excellent Magazine for Outdoor Photographers

text: This is an excellent magazine for three reasons: 1)the beauty of the outdoor pictures; 2)the rationale and technique described in achieving the shots; 3)fewer ads cluttering the pages as compared to most Photography magazines. I look forward to each copy.

text: Great magazine.


title: Not the magazine of years ago

text: Pages and pages of ads. Obviously making up for the lack of modern day subscribers but the content that is in it is good. It's just too bad because I cannot stand ads. Everywhere you look advertisements


title: A great monthly magazine for Stamp collectors at any level of the hobby

text: Linn's Stamp News is a great way to keep up with the stamp collecting hobby for life long stamp collectors and even beginners into the hobby. Good articles every month and a new listing of all the new stamp issues from every nation is noted each month in the magazine.


title: TV Guide on my Kindle and sent via mail

text: I gave this 5 stars due to the fact that I needed to see what to record....there's so much good stuff out there!  Very easy!


title: Up to date news of the week from all sides

text: Terrific composite articles on everything from politics to restaurant reviews.  Tries to glean articles from many news sources from many sides in easily readable formats.  National and international perspectives.


title: ... this for my classroom library - kids did not like it.

text: I bought this for my classroom library - kids did not like it.


title: Uninteresting content and not well written

text: I found the articles to be of little value as a resource for exploring New Mexico. The writing was often childish and often simply uninteresting.


title: I'm over it.

text: I'm over it.


title: A bit thin

text: Love TOH. Subscribed in the past. I recall the issues were thicker with more stories. Still worthwhile but not as meaty as in the past. Just like all publications


title: One of my favorite magazines

text: I look forward to each new magazine. Unlike other cooking related magazines, this one takes you places. It mixes some of my favorite life experiences together. I get to learn about new people in new places centered around different cuisines. I enjoy creating some of the dishes in the articles.


title: Still a good read

text: Enjoyed many of the articles and enjoyed the subscription, although the magazine is much smaller than it was at one time.


title: Enjoyable Reading

text: I look forward to receiving my Good Housekeeping each month. There are always good articles to be read. I also like subscribing through Amazon because I can manage my subscriptions on my account through the subscription manager. A subscription is a much better value than buying at the news stand.


title: A classic treasure of a magazine for kids!

text: My 4 year old grandson loves this little magazine.  I had them as a child and they still deliver a great experience for children.  He loves the same/opposite pages and loves looking for objects in the puzzle.  Then we read the stories.  I love watching him be as excited about getting this in the mail as I used to be!


title: Four Stars

text: Not a bad magazine.


title: I used to love this publication

text: I used to love this publication, but over the years its leanings have become too evident. Shame as it was a great read for a world travelers or the globally curious.


title: Guilty Pleasure

text: I LOVE this publication.  It is one of very few entertaining magazines which both the hubby and I can enjoy!<br />Warning, it is only published every 2 months.  I purchased the subscription in December and 4 months later, the April/May issue was the first to arrive.


title: Too many ads

text: Felt to many ads and not enough recipes.


title: Great tips!

text: I have enjoyed reading all the articles, only bummed a little that the magazine is so thin.


title: Just UGH!!!

text: UGH!!! This magazine sucks now!! If anyone remembers when it first came out, it had ZERO ads. Now it's laced with so many annoying distracting ads I want to throw it across the room. The photos aren't even that good anymore...but I suspect that's because you sign over WAY too many of YOUR rights on your OWN photograph! They can do anything they want with YOUR photo and makes LOTS of money...put it on teeshirts, coffee cups, sell prints, ETC! And WTF do you get?? Your name in such tiny letters underneath that you will need a magnifying glass to see it! Just NO!!! The stories aren't even that good anymore. I will NEVER subscribe again! I'm very SAD!!


title: First issue of magazine Took way to long to arrive

text: I like the magazine I don't care for seller1st issue of 12 month subscription took way to long to ship.

title: Nice Magazine

text: I used to subscribe to this magazine and stopped but don't remember why. It is a very good magazine and full of interesting Florida material.


title: Sports magazine

text: Always enjoy to read over the weekend.


title: Good magazines

text: It is good magazines for the fans, but not for me.  I am not too much into kind of stories they are offering or putting in.  None exciting or interesting me.


title: Must have!

text: It's the bible of Southern hospitality!


title: Great Ideas and Photos

text: I love this magazine!  I was in Paris and found it in the airport and couldn't put it down on the plane.  It's full of pictures and ideas and instructions in the back, not lots of wordy fluff or advertisements, but just packed with beautiful, inspiring ideas.  I subscribe to Martha Stewart Living and I'd have to say this beats it, however, it is in French and it's pricier to order.  It was cheaper in France but I was very happy to find that Amazon offered it since I didn't think I'd see another issue again without going overseas, I think the price is worth it.

title: Not what it used be

text: I used to love this magazine for their honest and impartial interviews, articles, and critiques.  Times have changed. It's a big fan magazine. The most annoying thing is that I never, ever get my magazine on time. They have a "must watch" section Sunday through Saturday for television (+ Netflix. Hulu, prime) shows that they reccomend. If I get the magazine before Thursday, it's a miracle. I've complained to the company, and of course, they threw  the USPS under the bus....funny, my other periodicals have no problem arriving on time. The magazine is just not what it used to be and they have no regard for customer service. Its too bad, I used to look forward to my magazine arriving every week. Every issue seems to increasingly disappoint me more and more every week. Unless things drastically change, and they get better writers or rehire the writers they used to have, I will not be renewing my subscription after years of being a faithful reader.


title: Like the Magazine

text: but it did take exactly six weeks thru amazon to get the first issue. I remember last time I had a subscription right from the magazine publisher it came much quicker than six weeks.

title: GREAT Magazine

text: I used to subscribe to Todays Homeowner, a great rag.  Unfortunately it was purchased by This Old House which covers what the rich and famous own.  It's great to have dreams, but for those who want to act on them, or more appropriately, the rest of us, there is Family Handyman.<br />For help redoing a floor, rehabbing a kitchen, replacing a deck,  discussions on the latest techniques you will want Family Handiman.  A great product easy to read in 30 minutes, with just the right amount of coverage with great pictures.

title: Full of nice projects and good tips for the woodshop beginner or hobbyist. Does not pester you for more sign ups

text: Not too much you can't see or get online. I am from the previous generation and for somethings I still like to have a page to stare at when I'm confused or getting final measurements for a project. So I signed up for a three year deal expecting to regret it the moment I placed the order from Amazon. To my surprise I have not been inundated with other telemarketers and the magazine has arrived on time every month. I did have to hear the jeers from other family members about the ridiculous notion of getting something in paperback with so much info online. But it seems now whenever I get to read the magazine it has creases from being read and occasionally a article circled or pinned. Which is crazy because no one in my house would read print after the attack I got, must be my mailman,lol.


title: Came early- Great as expected

text: Received a month and a half early. Wrapped in airtight plastic and delivered with no issues. I remember when I was young they always had Readers digest in the Dr. waiting room. I thought it was hokey then . Now I enjoy it!


title: Great way to keep up on the go...

text: This is a great magazine that covers the lot of science, technology, space and everything (at least the interesting stuff) in between.  You can pick it up and quickly read the shorter articles, or if you have a little more time, there are a few longer ones as well.  Discover is ALWAYS interesting and worth the price.


title: Beware the junk science and propaganda

text: I have read Discover in passing for years; now that my kids are older I thought it might be good for them.  When I saw the promo offer I got a one-year subscription.  I probably shouldn't have been, but I was shocked at how much popular pseudo-science and opinion are injected into otherwise sound articles.  They are clearly intended to persuade and that is not the role of science.  So, mostly what I have Discovered is another tool of the demagogues.  The best way to hide a lie is to surround it with truths.  There is so much of this in today's media that passes for science and journalism that few people even notice any more.<br />Still, I have used the magazine to help my kids become more critical thinkers and seperate fact from opinion, so I guess it's not a complete loss.  Same old story, let the buyer beware.


title: Not What It Used To Be

text: I now reminisce about the days when Reminisce was my absolute favorite magazine. I was a subscriber right from the beginning. In fact it is the only one I repeatedly and eagerly re-subscribed to. But after the death of dear Clancy Strock, the editing and format of Reminisce changed dramatically and for the worse. I remember the first time I noticed it. I was paging through the issue in disbelief. Gone were the colorful and chock-full pages of cleverly written reader stories, tidbits, poems and whatnot. Instead, I found wasteful double-page spreads of a single enlarged photo. And dozens upon dozens of stock celebrity photos. Huh?? This was supposed to be a READER-written magazine that specialized in readers submitted  memories and photos. But with the new format, reader photos and stories are sparse. Suddenly staff written articles about old movie stars and such appeared. No thanks. I let my subscription lapse and haven't renewed. I hope the publishers read these low star reviews and know that the changes they've made were at sacrifice of their most dedicated and valuable subscribers.  Bring back the good ol' magazines, Reminisce!!


title: not really a cigar mag

text: as stated this is mostly adds and articles about pricey toys. don't waste your money. go to famous smoke . com and check out what people think who aren't receiving add money.


title: All You magazine

text: This magazine has a lot of information on many different things.  It gives you ideas and recommendations, as well as coupons thruout the magazine.  I look forward to getting this every month


title: It's a well done magazine, but only buy if ...

text: It's a well done magazine, but only buy if you're die hard.  It lost me a bit being a new spinner.


title: Love this magazine! Beware of Amazon!!

text: It is easy to look back and see one's history when getting magazine subscriptions on Amazon. I received a bill in the mail for a one year subscription to Oprah, but wait!?!!  I paid for a full year's subscription in December 2010? So, Amazon, and anyone else who might know?  Why am I being billed again already???


title: Beautiful, useful magazine.

text: I love Cooks Illustrated magazine.  The illustration are gorgeous, and I find that I read it cover to cover, and I don't usually do that with magazines.  Loads of helpful tips, product reviews, and recipes.


title: Must have for healthy eating

text: Have enjoyed this magazine a lot. Lots of good ideas and recipes for clean meals.

title: Loving this magazine

text: Cant wait for the next issue! So glad I subscribed- this mag is great!!


title: Great price

text: The price was very good for my favorite magazine.  This was a gift for my son who has always enjoyed Readers Digest as much as I do.


title: Poor info

text: Very poor program info. Wish I could get my money back because it doesn’t show programming on CBS, ABC, NBC


title: Hardly received it.

text: I received one copy in a year and now it is auto renewed. Trying to figure out his to cancel it.


title: A great gift for mom !!

text:
I bought a subscription of this magazine via Amazon all the way back in 2005, and she's asked for it ever year since! She's difficult to buy gifts for so this one was a great find. I still find copies at her house whenever I visit.

What's cool is that she's actually used info from the magazine for at least three home improvements (two interior and one exterior). So, it's fun to know this magazine isn't just collecting dust as a coffee table decoration, but actually provides practical, useful information.


title: Mom loves it, but it's a very expensive magazine for only six issues a year.

text: Got this for my mom, who took up golfing a few years ago (she is in her late 60s, just as an FYI). She loves this magazine, so much that I've renewed it every year since as an ongoing Christmas present. I do wish it was monthly, rather than every other month, for the price (which is incredibly steep). But, as mom does like it, it's been worth it. It features quite a few good tips, stories, and product reviews for female golfers, though again, my biggest problem with this one is the price-per-issue once you do the math. A very expensive magazine for very few issues.


title: Children outgrown the magazine

text: I love Ranger Rick but my grandchildren have out grown it. I would like to reroute the remainder of the subscription to a different grandchild.


title: Home Shop Machinist

text: For those lucky few with a metal shop in their basement, or a long suppressed desire to have a metal shop in their basement, this is an essential read.  Of all my magazine subscriptions Home Shop Machinist is the one that I look forward to the most.  Home Shop Machinist provides detailed descriptions of projects built by other hobbyists that range from incredibly simple to incredibly complex.  Each of the articles is accompanied by numerous photos illustrating each step in the build.  The educational value of hearing from other machinists is incredible.  If you're into making chips this is the one magazine to scratch that itch.


title: Fascinating stuff

text:
I love this magazine.  It covers a wide variety of scientific and engineering topics.  It helps me keep up with the latest gadgets, events, and research.  Many articles are one page, and they manage to pack a lot of information.

My only complaint is that the regular font is pretty small, and the small font can be difficult to read without a magnifying glass.

Lots of great photos, too.


title: Novice Brewer Review

text: I'm a novice brewer so this magazine really did a lot to assist me. I loved recieving it everytime. Great buy for any brewer.


title: Very disappointed...

text: This is not the Good Housekeeping I remember.  SPARSE.  This mag used to be full of artticles and down to earth advice columns.


title: My favorite for over 20 years...

text: ...bar none.  And that includes The Mountain Astrologer.  I'm a semi-pro and what I like best about this magazine is its appeal to all levels of astrological learning on FUN, practical and timely topics (Sun Sag/ASC Cap) written by knowledgable and well respected professionals.  But with the skyrocketing costs of a physical subscription, I've had to switch over to having it delivered to my Kindle.  For those of you considering this option, I must advise you that some of the important features at the back of the magazine are missing, like the monthly ephemeris, the daily aspect guide, etc.  This is not a problem if, like me, you have an emphemeris or professional software.  I still miss it, though...but am lucky to find the time to read each issue.  The magazine also contains articles in varying lengths from quite lengthy to one page.  My preference lies in between, but there is surely something for everyone.  Enjoy!


title: Fun...if you like birds and stuff.

text: This kind of a "flip through" magazine....but I always learn something. I live in the Pacific NW...and don't really care about birds and flowers in the east or where ever....but it is not that expensive and fun to flip through.


title: If It's Cheap...it's OK

text: Popular Photography is not a Rocket Science book. It is mostly ads and just a few articles on different cameras and related stuff. For the price...it is what I expected. I flip through it and pass it on to friends. It's like Popular Mechanics or whatever......


title: A necessity for every backpacker

text: Backpacker Magazine is great. It gives me the information I need to make smart purchases on gear. It has good reviews that help me see all of the new equipment that I didn't even know I needed. But more than just informational information, it has a balanced blend of information and inspiration. It always has descriptions of treks that I can, or at least would like to, picture myself taking someday. The stories inspire me to step away from my desk and get out hiking. The articles are good in that they are interesting to both the newer backpacker and the experienced. I've been backpacking for about 10 years, and Backpacker still gives me great ideas.


title: Not a parenting magazine

text: This more like a fashion magazine than a parenting magazine.  It is full of ads that belong in Vogue and the articles are unimaginative.  If you are looking for a serious parenting magazine you should look elsewhere.

I LOVE the Example projects, I'm excited to begin working on one.

I also LOVE the tool reviews. This helped me decide on a miter saw i've been looking for. Great job guys!


title: Best Mag EVER!

text: I've been getting these for 20 years...I cant get enough! I get so excited to see these in the mail! If you like science, engineering, DIY, tech, or anything like that, you will love this magazine!


title: Great magazine, got it for an even better price

text:
I got this when it was 5 bucks.

Really, thats all I need to say.  This is an interesting magazine, and has entertained me for hours and hours.  Definitely worth subscribing to


title: Just a fun easy read

text: My wife and I love this magazine. Informative and light hearted articles as well as professional and amateur photos


title: simply great!

text: I have to admit this is one of the best magazines I have encountered so far.  Unlike those 'trash' girlie magazines out there, this one does cover a bit of everything that women must aware and know of.  I liked their advices and stories and the fact that it doesn't have a lot of ads.  I also liked their picks on fashion and make-up trends and real living ideas that's actually helpful.  Very imformative yet entertaining.

text: OK -- but the articles are poorly prepared, way too many photos/ads for the price, and few really important ideas.


title: Three Stars

text: It was okay. Nothing very exciting.


title: Love this magazine

text: Always excited to open when it arrives!


title: A Good Read

text: Introduction to exciting scientific innovations and breakthroughs.  It compares to reading high tech futuristic science fiction literature, but better.  Ray Bradbury and Jules Verne would be avid readers if subscriptions could be beamed to heaven.


title: Great Gift for Every Handyman

text: Hubby loved it so much that he insisted on giving it as a gift.  I found the articles very interesting and purposeful and I am far from handy.


title: Puzzles

text: Like reading about the stars and crossword puzzles.


title: Pretty thin, but husband loves it.

text: I got this for my husband (a 26 year old science aficionado) and was a little bummed at how thin it was... So that's why I didn't give it 5 stars. But, I must say, the articles were in depth and there were very few ads. He said he was excited though, and LOVES this magazine so I will give it 4 stars :). He says he also recommends Popular Mechanics to anyone who loves this magazine. (I'm taking that as a hint to get him that one too!)


title: Very happy with this purchase!

text: I got my first issue last week after ordering it a month earlier, so it came right on time! It was a great issue and definitely made me happy that I ordered it. I just became a stay at home mom so this magazine is perfect when I have that precious "me time". Yes, there are quite a few ads (but honestly, what magazine doesn't have them?!) but the articles are in depth and actually taught me a thing or two. Love this magazine and recommend it to everyone! :)


title: disappointed in the auto renewal

text:
I used to read Reader's Digest growing up and I loved it.  I think it is still pretty informative but I did not like the fact that Reader's Digest was affiliated with the auto renewal feature. I did not ever intend to sign up for that when I purchased the low priced Reader's Digest for 1 year.

I supposed I should have read the fine print.  Buyer beware.

The more disapointing part was that when Amazon emailed me to let me know the magazine would auto renew and I then tried to cancel.  Amazon responded, "too late", to some effect.

This is a very low business practice that I would not expect from Amazon or Reader's Digest.


title: Has practical ideas, but good entertainment as well.

text: I read Hobby Farms for entertainment. Lots of interesting articles.


title: Niece loves her magazine

text: I got my niece this magazine subscription for Christmas.  She loves the magazine and has already made projects that they show you in the magazine.


title: great deal

text: This was a great deal on a good sized magazine. The first issue arrived very promptly - pleasant surprise.


title: fun informative inexpensive

text: Both my kids and I enjoy this magazine tremendously.  It's written for children and is written well, I feel confident of information.  It contains pictures, drawings, articles, and activities!  It's thin - long enough for about 2 sittings for the kids.  I highly recommend this magazine for parents of children 5+.  It contains a sampling of stories on the atmosphere, each continent, the oceans.  I very highly recommend this for families, waiting rooms, libraries, school libraries.  I give everything a grade and I give this an "A".


title: short review

text: This magazine is, in my opinion, well thought out.  The articles are interesting, relevant and well-written.  Good photography.  Quality paper.  I enjoy reading it and look forward to reading it.  Of all the magazines in our waiting room, more patients have had positive remarks on this magazine than any other.  I just re-subscribed for my second year and quite pleased.  Highly recommend.


title: A Working Mom's Must Have

text: I have subscribed to this magazine for the past 5 years- since my daughter was born.  I love the articles and it really makes me feel good about being a working mom![[ASIN:0981756522 Mommy's High Heel Shoes]]

title: Good mag

text: Favorite magazine for recipes


title: 6 Issues / 12 Months....

text: I subscribed on July 30th 2019. As of today, April 21st 2020, I have only received 2 issues. In nearly 9 months, only 2 issues???? At the very least, it should be 3 or even 4. —- Now, judging strictly the magazine, the main selling point is the photography. Paper has had some iconic images in the past. Going off the 2 issues I received, the photography comes across as extremely forced. It rings of that we’re trying very hard quality as they throw any and everything into their images / photography and it has that desperation type feeling to it. / Sometimes less is more and whoever has been on the photography, styling, makeup, costume, etc departments needs to bring a more careful editing eye to their imagery, because Paper is losing the very quality that made it enticing to begin with.


title: still a great magazine

text: I have always loved this magazine.  Still do.  The content is always useful information.  That's why I purchased it at Amazon when saw the super low price. The two copies I have received so far still have great content.  However, the paper the pages are thin and tear easily.  I was used to more glossy pages when I subscribed to it a few years back.


title: magazine

text: My husband just loves the,magazine. The savings is great from,the rack rate. Definitely recommend it.


title: Not authentic Tao

text: The weird religious form of Tao.


title: Great gift

text: Got this as a gift - they love it! Packed with arricles and interesting unique reporting you don't find everywhere!


title: This magazine has changed.

text: It has become extremely political & biased.  I used to love the new makeup & fashion information.  That has now become secondary.  I regret renewing this magazine.


title: Good magazine.

text: I love travel and this magazine gives tips as well as featuring interesting places.


Donde esta? It's been three months so far


title: Gorgeous Magazine!

text: I like to read this magazine in our RV, it's beautiful.


title: Same

text: Cheaper than the magazine offered.  Otherwise the same.


title: So so magazine

text: The magazine has some decent articles, but if you are looking for recipes that are functional in a day to day basis, then this is not your type of magazine. It does have some decent ideas for healthy eating, but there is too much fluff articles for it to be useful. Also, the layouts with the recipes can be confusing at times.


title: Great Magazine

text: My wife and I have enjoyed this magazine. There are a lot of good articles and recipes that we pull form it. It also helps inspire new ideas for the kitchen. For the price, it is a great magazine for the cook in your life.


title: A-OK

text: This would have been better had it not auto renewed itself over and over and over years after I ordered it. Marie Claire is a fun magazine full of beauty tips and interesting articles.


title: Great, and interesting, tips and information

text: I love this magazine - it is filled with tips, most of which are useful to a homeowner who is definitely NOT a professional (and a 60-yr-old).  I dropped This Old House because mostly they showed you expensive to impossible things, or had you paining everything for a new look!  I live in a nearly 200 year old house - getting the layers and layers and layers of paint OFF of things is more important.<br />Family Handyman is interesting and useful!  The projects and the tips seem doable.  The one that just came had a great article on the differences between decking fasteners, which I loved as I have a rotting porch I am going to have to do something with.  It was great information.


title: After years - decades - of following the TV show ...

text: After years  - decades  - of following the TV show and subscribing, I stopped subscribing. I am very tired of their painting everything.  If it is old, paint it, or build it new.


title: Just not what I was looking for, and I have found the company annoying me with renewals already

text: I had subscribed to it after seeing one that had a great article, but it seems that every issue I have gotten is motly about knitting.  The last one had an article I was interested in, but I won't be renewing.  Right now I just go through it, and then walk it over to the local library in our small village.  They have a lot of knitters, etc, and are happy to put it out.<br />And immediately after I got the first issue, I got the first renewal notice.  Had 3 of them since, and I only have had 3 issues.


title: Four Stars

title: STRIKE A POSE.....VOGUE

text: Great to see all the fascinating things designers create. Stay up to date on what is THE THING.

title: Not that great

text: I don't use the recipes that much. Not impressed. If you like to cook entertain, I would just say, keep looking for a different "foodie" rag.


title: No Meat

text: I used to love this magazine for the decorating ideas, but have since canceled my subscription.  There is nothing but advertising for RX drugs on what seems like every other page.  Some of the ads are 2 - 3 full pages! I understand that advertising pays for the magazine, but they have gone overboard.  I used to check out their website as well and it's the worst.  Pop us ads for magazine subscriptions everywhere to the point that it's super annoying.  Bottom line is that this magazine has no meat in it anymore.  It's fat with advertising overkill, so just beware.

title: Buy at 5$  beyond that meh

text: If you get it wait for the 5 dollar price. And that six to ten weeks is ten weeks. It's a lot of ads but some good basic info for those that dont have YouTube, smart phone or suc such while waiting for the denist

title: Am I the only one who hears Madonna in my head whenever I receive my magazine?

text: It's Vogue...what's not to like


title: It's become a brochure not a magazine

text: I'm  shocked at how thin these magazines now!!<br />I bought for my 86 year old mom who is not computer savvy. She went through it in 5 minutes 😩


title: Okay.

text: I expected "more" from this magazine. It's thin, and it just doesn't really engage me. I'm over all the fashion, make up, celebrity crap. I will (and am) aging naturally, and I was looking for a magazine that was more into that.


title: Enjoyable

text: I love to look at decorated rooms and homes so I am attracted to this kind of magazine at the Dr's office etc.  I don't find much time to look through them at home though.  I bought this magazine when it was listed at an amazing price and have enjoyed getting it.  I will likely not renew just because I don't get around to looking at them often enough to warrant the regular price.  I have several issues of this and other mags that I just haven't gotten to yet.  I would recommend the mag however, it's great if you love this kind of thing!

I like Wired and this is a great deal (currently $5!)

Crazy glad a friend found this and told me about it! I'm currently enjoying my fourth magazine.

I'll be bummed when the subscription deal ends, but, I've enjoyed the last few issues enough that I'll renew.

title: Favorite cooking magazine

text:
Heck, at the moment it's my favorite magazine of any genre!  I really like the way the magazine is laid out - they have multiple sections for different types of cooking.  Most notably, to me, they have a Weeknight Cooking section and a Weekend Cooking section.  It should be fairly obvious, but the recipes in the weeknight cooking section are pretty fast and simple, and generally fairly inexpensive to prepare, whereas the weekend cooking recipes are a bit more involved/expensive/suitable for company.  This magazine is great for people who like to cook different types of food.  They not only include recipes inspired from around the world but have a nice balance of healthy/indulgent and fast/extravagant in the magazine.  Basically the magazine's got a little bit of everything, which I think is great because you can get everything in one location.  AND the recipes are great - one thing food network chefs are good at is creating recipes that actually have taste.

Some other reviews complain about there not being a great number of recipes in each issue - they seem to average between 120 and 125 recipes each.  Since you get a new issue every month (or two), I can't help but wonder how many those people think they need from one source to get them through the month.  Personally I like the balance between recipes and other food-related content, and I got some great ideas for presents for Father's Day!


title: Valuable information

text: This has great information with high quality photos and easy to understand descriptions. My only wish it that they would publish it as a monthly.


title: Great for Cooking Fans

text: Great magazine subscription for Cooking Fans. I purchased this for myself and I loved it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking, but is looking for a way to cook lighter meals. Great recipes.


title: Good for Beginner Photographers

text: Good magazine subscription for beginner photographers. I purchased this for my husband and he loved it at first, but after becoming a professional, he felt the magazine was geared more toward beginners. He also did not like that about 2/3 of the magazine are all product ads. He has been receiving the magazine since 2009, and we just decided to cancel his subscription and switch to another photography magazine geared more toward professionals.


title: Great Magazine for Gamers

text: Great magazine subscription for PC Gaming fans. I purchased this for my husband and he loved it.

title: Unreadable on Kindle

text: I have been reading the print edition of the economist for many years and it is an admirable magazine that I really trust as an information source. I was hoping to switch to the Kindle format, but after buying an issue to try it is clearly not ready. The magazine is completely unreadable with text broken across multiple pages and photos generally missing or too small to see. I tried reloading and also reading it on multiple devices including my new (and amazing :-) Kindle Paper White. No joy. Stick to print for now.


title: I miss the old mag.

text: Not like it used to be


title: My daughters love this mag!

text: I purchased this subscription for my two teenage daughters and they liked it so much that I've renewed it already. We had to set up a schedule of who gets the mag first each month so they can take turns because they were fighting over it at the mailbox each month. I remember reading this same mag when I was a teenager and it was just as interesting then. Highly recommended mag and the Amazon price was great!!


title: BEST MAGAZINE!!

text: This magazine has a little bit of everything.  It offers cleaning advice, recipes, wonderful stories, and great quotes from readers on various topics.  I read it cover to cover and learn something new every month.  It is a well done magazine, and it's for people like me who can not do things like Martha Stewart, but need things to be Real Simple![[ASIN:B0019HBVFQ Voice Lessons To Go v.1-4 The Complete Set]]


title: Great magazine!

text: This is a great magazine with wonderful information for parents.  It really helped me after I had my baby, and it still helps me now that he is a toddler.  It reviews products and gives me great gift ideas for my friends' kids'.  Good gift for new mom. [[ASIN:B000297VQA Voice Lessons To Go Volume 1: Vocalize and Breath]]


title: OPERA LOVERS MUST HAVE!!

text: If you love opera, this is the magazine to have.  It keeps you up to date on the all the opera news, plus it introduces you to up and coming singers.  I love the reviews! As an opera singer, I find this magazine invaluable. But I think that it is a great magazine for non-performers, too.  This would be a wonderful gift for an opera lover!<br />[[ASIN:B0019HBVFQ Voice Lessons To Go v.1-4 The Complete Set]]


title: Good for 11-year old daughter

text: 11 year old loved it -- and even enjoyed looking at it after a horse tripped and she fell, breaking her collar bone and making her swear off horses for the time being.


title: Not as wonderful as I was hoping

text: Not as wonderful as I was hoping, but my nine year old says she likes it, and she does read it, so all is good!


title: interesting to me

text: I enjoyed this magazine. I do have a problem of losing interest after getting a magazine for a length of time, though. It's probably just me, and not the magazine.


title: great magazine great price

text: I've been a Esquire reader over three years,when my subscription came due,this was a great price for a legendary magazine!

text: Like it. I live in a small town and do not have access to some of the ingredients ask for in the recipes.


title: Suitable for all

text: Great variety of content. Suitable for boys or girls.


title: Lots of information

text: Lots of information. Seems to mostly be about Alabama


title: still waiting

text: I reordered this magazine November 2012 for me and for a Christmas present for my granddaughter. Neither one of us has received an issue yet. It is now March 18, 2013. It is very disappointing! Also embarrassing, since it was a Christmas gift for her.


title: Nice quick easy read.

text: It’s Readers Digest, pretty much what we’ve grown up with and have come to expect. I have noticed though that every issue has a joke or two In the “pay me for my joke” submission section that are actually stolen from online Memes but I suppose that’s to be expected. Nice quick easy read.

title: Great Magazine for the "settled " woman

text: When I was in my 20's I do not think these magazine would have been for me.  But now that I am a home owner with a family I love to look through it!  I guess different things are exciting now:)  What I like about the magazine is that it has a lot of areas they cover, from recipes, to crafting, to everything for the home.  It is not quite Martha Stuart fancy,more like "the real woman's Martha Stuart!).<br />[[ASIN:B0019HBVFQ Voice Lessons To Go v.1-4 The Complete Set]]


title: Great magazine for young teens.

text: Seventeen is a fun positive magazine for girls probably 11 or so and up.  Helps transition the girl into womanhood with great fashion, stories, and advice.  The magazine is clean and promotes bright women which I think is key to go along with all the fashion and make-up.<br />[[ASIN:B000297VQA Voice Lessons To Go Volume 1: Vocalize and Breath]]


title: Well done Entertainment Mag.

text: This is a great magazine to stay informed on the entertainment world.  It is an easy read and "entertaining" to sit down and go through. From films, to theater, to books, to TV.  This magazine covers the gamut and keeps you in the loop.<br />[[ASIN:B0019HBVFQ Voice Lessons To Go v.1-4 The Complete Set]]


title: A gorgeaus magazine

text: One of the best magazines out there for sure.  Started recieving it years ago.  It takes you all over the world, and gives you such amazing articles and pictures.  You really feel like you are traveling through it.  I find this magazine broadens my spectrum on the world.  It is so easy to forget about all the other places, people and cultures out there.  This is an amazing reminder about all the amazing people in our world and the places they live.  A great education.


title: Always looks forward to this one in the mail

text: Cooking light has great recipes.  I really love the format of the recipes and the beautiful pictures.  I find this magazine extremely inspiring to actually get me to the kitchen to make something extra special.  There is also a great variety of healthy foods.


title: Excellent source for the serious singer and teacher

text:
This publication has fabulous articles that really educate both the singer and teacher.  They are educational, informative, and interesting.  This is the "trade" for a classical voice teacher.

title: Look forward to it every month

text: First, I really love Oprah.  I find her inspirational, fun, and thought provoking.  This magazine is a reflection of all of that.  I love getting it in the mail.  The articles are intelligent and interest me as a woman, entrepreneur, and mother.


title: I really recommend this for younger women

text: I really enjoyed Self magazine for many years.  For what ever reason, I think the magazine is great for younger women. It is positive and motivating.  All issues concerning body health and images are touched in this magazine.  I probably have grown out of the magazine since I am older now, but it really was great to get for years as I got to know myself as a woman and became confident in who I was.<br />[[ASIN:B000297VQA Voice Lessons To Go Volume 1: Vocalize and Breath]]


title: Eh?

text: The only reason it's worth getting is for the short stories in each issue. Other than that the rest of it is garbage.


title: Great Read!!

text: Fantastic magazine! Very useful in home decor---doing it yourself!

title: Nice price, great for older homes.

text: We have a 1920's house and have gotten a lot of inspiration from this magazine. Nice layout, great to flip through.


title: My favorite gardening magazine

text: I used to subscribe to Horticulture, Garden Design, Organic Gardening, and several others but now I am down to Fine Gardening and The English Garden.  Fine Gardening offers many practical, well written articles on pruning, garden design, propagation, composting etc., introduces new and interesting plants, and has nice illustrations, not artsy but practical, whereas Garden Design, for example, will offer a whole page close up of a single flower.  I would say it's true that Fine Gardening concentrates on the Eastern Seaboard area where it is published but that's fine with me since I garden in Connecticut.  Though I am a much more knowledgeable gardener than when I first started reading it,I still find at least one interesting nugget in almost every issue.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine, informative


title: Great Reading

text: This is an excellent magazine with interesting articles and wonderful pictures.  I've been reading it most of my life.

title: Communication Breakdown

text: I gave British Vogue as a gift for my mom.  Unfortunately, someone else gave her the same thing.  My mom decided she would be happy with a 2 year subscription.  First, Amazon did not help me at all to find out who to contact about this purchase.  After much research, and several overseas phonecalls, I finally figured out the right number at Condenast.  However, I have called--overseas, several times and waited on hold for 5-10 minutes, never being able to speak with a human being.  I am frustrated and spending money unnecessarily!  I would email, but can't until I get the subscription # which comes on the first issue.  Hopefully, that will resolve the problem.


title: I love this magazine

text: I love this magazine.  It's great for all you organic natural mamas out there.  Sometimes i feel like other magazines are so irrelevant to me and my family's lifestyle.


title: Arrived late, then disappointment with content

text: To me, this seems a little ladish. I was looking for something that was based on technology. This was not, instead going on about start up companies and other rubbish. Have revcieved 2 copies so far and I can not say that I enjoyed a full story in either of them. Have 10 more copies to go, so maybe there will still be a couple of rabbits in the hat, but really do not think I will be re-ordering this drivil.


title: Good

text: Only paid $5 for 1 year! Interesting recipes, have not tried them but planning on doing so. I still like better Everyday Food from Martha Stewart.


title: good magazine

text: Only paid $5 for 1 year. The magazine has interesting articles for the whole family and little ads. Very glad with this purchase.


title: too many ads

text: 95% of the magazine are ads!! I bought this subscription for $5 but still wasn't worth it, decided to cancel after first month.


title: Always my favorite magazine, even though I can't agree with all ...

text: Always my favorite magazine, even though I can't agree with all political viewpoints discussed. I love the poetry, fiction and movie and play reviews. The first think I look at is the timely and artistic covers and the cartoons on the back page.


title: Love recipes!

text: Love the different recipes!


title: Great teaching articles

text: Good reading.


title: A great investment. It's really helping my family eat a more healthy diet and save money at the same time.

text: My family loves food, but we're trying to eat more healthy foods these days. Food Network magazine not only has recipes that fit our needs, but reading about how different foods go together is helping us adapt recipes and make them more healthy. Being able to substitute beans and low-fat poultry for beef in some foods was something that never would have occurred to me if I hadn't read about it here.<br />Tips like how to use "low quality" (and hence lower priced) meat and innovative cooking techniques turns out meals that taste just as good as if they'd cost twice as much.


title: Handyman Became Lame

text:
I  used to be an subscriber years ago of what was an excellent magazine but had to quit when my company put me on the road for a number of years. I enjoyed the travel but decided to take an early retirement offer and looked forward to returning to my favorite pastime of doing handyman work. My signed up with a new subscription whose first issue just arrived.

This magazine should be renamed The Family Ad Magazine. Unbelievable number of ads scattered throughout the magazine making it difficult to read an article that is more than a paragraph or two. I understand that the magazine wants to earn ad money but why make it so intrusive? This is disappointing to see a once excellent magazine reduced to a barely readable junk pile with some of the previous worthwhile contents no longer included.

 Bye.


title: The best male magazine....period!

text: Full of interesting articles that really make you think and informed.


title: A fun read

text: My boys love browsing this magazine and seeing the neat inventions.  I love them reading anything meaningful about science, even if it isn't perfect.


title: Great Projects

text:
I wasn't sure when I first ordered this magazine but I have been soo pleased.  The only problem is I don't have enough time to build all the great projects, but boy do I want to.

The information is good and complete.  The projects are desirable and practical.


title: my favorite magazine

text:
I know for the most part magazines are dead, but I still like to hold one in my hand at times.

In particular, you don't have to wait till 10k feet to open a magazine on the plane.

This magazine is always packed with up to date information on PC computing and is by far the best magazine on the subject.  Articles are always informative and to the point.

A few times a year the create well defined builds that will help you to build your own PC instead of buying a disposable from one of the box stores.  These PC's will out perform and out last those other computers, and are upgradeable.  Best yet because they can be upgraded they won't end up in the land fill as quickly.

In addition to the build articles they provide upgrade articles from time to time.  These will help you update if you used one of the previous builds and the time has come.

Information ranges from the basic to the cutting edge of performance, as do the computer builds.  Quality analysis of the components available is provided.

Many issues have excellent tips on how to get the most out of the current version of Windows.

This is a great magazine and I definitely recommend it.

title: HELLO is Wonderful for BABIES

text: Reading is important to me, so I purchased a subscription to Hello magazine before my grandson was even born. He has loved it from the first time that I read it to him. I often had to read it to him again and again and again. The magazine is made of 10 heavy-duty pages that can't be ripped, chewed, or pulled apart. That's a good value. Ten pages is plenty for a baby. Hello is certainly cheaper than a board book. When his baby sister was born, the subscription was renamed for her. BamBam has been eagerly waiting for the new magazine for him. The adults who have reviewed Hello by saying it's boring are not 0-2 years old. We highly recommend this magazine.


title: BUYER BEWARE!!!  WW uses sneaky tricks!

text: While my family and I like the magazine, we have not subscribed in years.  There are simply much more affordable magazines out there and online.  Out of the blue, my mother received a notice from WW that looked just like a bill saying she owed $159.90, with a June 7th payment date  WHAT?!!!  At first, I thought it was a scam by some unknown entity.<br />As it turns out, it was just a sneaky way for WW to try to get people to buy a year or two's subscription.  I am certain there are others who were confused by this mailing, and may have been deceived.  Bad form, WW!


title: WARNING - Doesn't ship for 5 months!

text: If you purchase a subscription to this magazine on Jan. 1, you won't receive your first magazine until some time in MAY (which will be the JUNE/JULY issue).  How outrageous, especially when purchased through a quick shipper like Amazon.  Furthermore, you will only get 1 or 2 issues in hand, and you will begin to get notice after notice telling you to re-subscribe, because your subscription is running out.  Meanwhile, you will be pestered with ATK email after email - all trying to get you to purchase more stuff.  I love the magazine, but their service SUCKS!


title: Great Inspriation and Entertainment for a Great Price

text:
As I indicated in another review, I like to treat my mother to magazine subscriptions.  They're a practical gift, because they're literally the gift that keeps on giving.  For a small fee, your loved one can receive a brand-new reminder of your affection for them each month for the whole year.  It's practical and sweet at the same time.

In this case, I got my mom Martha Stewart Living because she admires Martha's accomplishments, her entrepreneurial sense and her skills in cooking, decor and gardening.  Each issue has a ton of tips and is great for someone who wants to sample the scope of Martha's talents.  Of course, you can also get more specialized magazines from MSE, but this is a good entree and it keeps mom happy.

Even as someone like myself who is a low-carb dieter, many of Stewart's recipes are easily adapted and her knowledge of techniques is always helpful.

The most important thing, however, is that mom loves all of it--the gardening is probably her favorite.


title: Five Stars

text: good magazine. gives good ideas


title: Not as good as it used to be...

text: The magazine looks great and comes on time, but the content of Martha Stewart Living is not as good as it used to be. Nowadays, I feel the writers are trying to be overly eclectic and rustic. The text is very small, even for those who don't need to wear glasses. While some of the tutorials and tips are helpful, I find myself wishing for more. I miss the issues from years past. I'm sad to say I won't be renewing my subscription.


title: The Magazine is Apparently Defunct

text:
I've been a subscriber for years (and have all issues), and have been a huge fan during that time.  Apparently, though, the magazine is defunct, although Lapham's is still sending out bills and the website is still encouraging subscriptions.  I have several friends who are also subscribers, and none of us have received anything since the Spring issue (we're missing Summer and Fall 2021).  I've tried calling their actual office in D.C. and their subscription service, I've tried e-mail customer service, and I've tried contacting them via social media, all with no luck.

This is pretty disappointing for a magazine that I held in very high esteem.  A reputable organization would at least let subscribers know the story, rather than continuing to promote the publication as if everything is going normally.

++ UPDATE 24 August 2022
As stated above, Lapham's is still selling subscriptions, although subscribers have only received three issues since 2020 (two in 2021, one in 2020).  The website explained that this is due to COVID, but Lapham's is (oddly enough) the only journal publisher to be experiencing such a dramatic situation.  Early this year subscribers were told that they'd be receiving 5 issues in 2022 (to make up for the issues missed in 2021), but going into September 2022, only one has been shipped.  The website says that "Our June / July issue, Education, is behind schedule", with no prediction regarding when the issue might be available.

So fine, if there is actually a problem with supplies (that is only affecting Lapham's), just let subscribers know that there's no telling when the journal will begin publishing again.  If supply chain issue are not the reason for the virtual shut-down of the periodical, let subscribers know that.  In the meantime, don't keep selling subscriptions to a magazine that is clearly not viable for one reason or another.

title: Five Stars

text: great price


title: Filled with beautiful photos

text: Though I have never been into looking fashionable myself, I find fashion photos beautiful, and if you feel the same way, this is the magazine for you! I love looking through the magazine each month. It is HUGE compared with every other magazine I've seen in the past--much thicker. There aren't many articles in it compared with advertisements, and I don't care at all because the advertisements are really pretty and I like them just as well as the content of the magazine. I really like drawing the pictures in the magazines for drawing practice, too, or as reference for drawings. I have no complaints with this magazine. My recommendation is to order it during Black Friday--this is when I ordered mine, and I got a full year subscription for only $5, no strings attached, which was awesome and well well well worth it.


title: Intelligent and informative

text: A good way to keep tabs on pop culture


title: Lost their way

text: As a professional photographer, I think the organization that publishers this magazine have truly lost their way.  The images are predictable and unimaginative and haven't changed in the past 25 years.  There are much better magazines to read.


title: Three months to deliver?

text:
Amazon and Dwell, and all the other magazines, need to work together to make the first issue of a magazine arrive in a more timely fashion. Honestly I'd pay a premium for that. It's ridiculous, the gap between when you order your first issue and when it's supposed to arrive.

If the system worked really well, I'd be able to choose which issue arrived - the current issue, or the next issue.
I guess paper is dying so noone wants to invest in it.


title: Good product.

text: Good product.


title: Thanks for the bad reviews

text: I found out the problems


title: Paid for 24 issues. Received only one. Was switched to a different product!

text: After sending me one issue of my 2-year subscription, Meredith Publishing switched me over to a different magazine stating they no longer publish Coastal Living.  I'm sure they knew this when I subscribed - one issue ago.  The Amazon Customer Service number listed 866-384-0564 is not in service.  I do not want Amazon or their commercial partner, Meredith Corporation, to switch my personal selection to a different product of their choosing and just keep my money.


title: The Best Political Magazine Ever

text: While I do not always agree with the viewpoints given in National Review, it is simply the best, most well written magazine on the political landscape. William F. Buckley, Jr. was an amazing man and this magazine and its writers are his legacy. What an amazing legacy it is! Rich Lowry has done a fabulous job replacing Mr. Buckley as editor and the magazine continues to thrive and give cogent, salient arguments for conservative positions.


title: Great magazine but it is availible online without many ads if you don't care to get a print copy.

text:
This is a good deal for this magazine, you are basically getting six issues for $1. I personally find many of the articles in Wired interesting and useful. If you are interested in technology or tech culture this is the magazine for you!

The only reason I am giving this three stars is because like other magazines it has lots of adds, probably more ads than actual articles. Also Most articles in Wired are available to read freely on the Wired Magazine website. For some reason I still prefer physical copies of magazines but if you don't care about this then go the the Wired website rather than getting a subscription to this magazine.

text: Nice for casual short reading and leaf through. Lots of ads, but I've already come to expect that from magazines.


title: Ummm...it's 50/50

text: It's a hit or miss with this magazine, there are times where there are great articles and information and then the next month not so much. Try for yourself and see, it could just be me.


title: Love this magazine

text: I would recommend ordering your magazine subscriptions from here. You find it for a bit cheaper and have the options of auto renewal at a cheaper rate or what's currently available.


title: cancelled my subscription

text: after about two months of recieving this magazine I returned it. It just wasnt what I was hoping for. I normally subscribe to veranda, and coastal living and thought that the magazine was along those lines but was bored with everything in the magazine


title: good magazine

text: this magazine has so much info that you can use it for ideas or how to do or get it done.


title: Very little value to me, based on the first 2 issues I have received

text:
I’m just an amateur (couple of years shooting) so I expected more information would be applicable, but I was disappointed to see that most of the articles were either shills for the advertisers or simple, beginning ideas. The “prize-winning” photos were less than amateurish; like the judges had little to chose from. The magazine is so thin it takes only 10-15 minutes to read/scan the whole thing. I’d be embarrassed to publish this.

The subscription was cheap at $5/yr so I won’t be canceling on the off chance that something of value will sneak through the editor. Oddly enough they sent two issues at the same time, one of which was the outdated issue from the previous month. I wonder if that was a bonus or if it counted as my first issue. Hmmmm.

If you’re thinking of subscribing, drop by a library and skim through one first. If you’re really new to photography, you might find it of value.

title: Every page of this publication is a keeper.

text: I take almost every cooking magazine published and the way I manage the magnitude of publications is to tear out the recipes that I like and toss what's left. After receiving my first 3 Fine Cooking magazines, I noticed that I was tearing nearly every page out of the magazines, it was then that I decided that tearing pages out of Fine Cooking was a waste of time, that I needed to keep that magazine in tact. I treasure each issue.

More advertisements than actual work trucks and the trucks that are in this magazine are not heavy duty work trucks like they show on the front page... More light duty.... Which my father in law did not want (he has construction buisness)- this was supposed to be a gift for him.

Also came to find out that he actually gets this FREE in the mail already!!!! So no need to buy! Waste of time.... Amazon refunded my money though! They are very good that way!

title: Don't bother with this one.

text:
This is a magazine for paid product-placement in articles, tons of ads, and so-so articles.  You are paying for the name, and getting much less in return.

I HIGHLY recommend [[ASIN:B000063XJR Fine Homebuilding]] instead of This Old House.  You will not only see fabulous new and old construction, but actually take something away from it (that is the point behind magazines, right?)  A magazine that actually saved me money!

I'm cancelling my subscription to T.O.H. and adding another year onto my Fine Homebuilding subscription.  It's money well spent.


title: A bit glossy and "staged", but info and tips are great!

text:
My ONLY gripe with this magazine is that the pictures are like those you would find in GQ magazine: they hire models to show you driving a nail or shoveling dirt for that new patio.  These people use only brand new tools (brand name label showing of course) in a perfect-world dust free environment.  The pictures make it look like it's a Sears catalogue.

Aside from that, the articles are great making it one of the best magazines for the do-it-yourselfer.  I have saved more money from the tips in this magazine than any other magazine I subscribe to.  Most articles can be done by any semi-skilled craftsman with access to a decent set of tools, making it an approachable magazine for the DIY'er.

I highly recedommend this magazine in conjunction with Fine Homebuilding magazine.  In that magazine you will find that the pictures are of real people operating used tools in a real environment.  The articles in Handyman are a bit more down-to-Earth, but together you will get the most benefit.
