title: Give this RC Car Action a shot, it will improve your love of the hobby!

text: RC Car Action is the best overall rc  magazine on the market today. They don't hold any bias over one company to another. I love the stories, the how-to section saved me more than once over my early years in the hobby. Some<br />people have to understand that Traxxas is the undisputed King of RTR  rc models on the market, that being said, I've owned several other brands out there during my years. From HPI to Tamiya. Just because Traxxas has its business model together doesn't mean everyone else sucks. It just means Traxxas is better. At everything. Always. And I do mean EVERYTHING. If it wasn't for Traxxas, more than 1\2 of us would never have fallen so hard for this hobby. Car Action does an excellent job at covering all aspects of our awesome hobby, and I for one commend them, their writer's, testers, and the editor for making one of my favorite mags in the world. Keep up the great work you guys!

text: Use to be an informative tech magazine. Now it is biased, insulting crap.


title: Hearst subscription through Amazon ships late!

text: I ordered a few magazine subscriptions in July and now it's mid-September , so far I've received everything from Conde Naste (except a damaged September issue of Vogue - Post Office damage - but they are kind enough to resend) - but I have received nothing from the two Hearst magazines I ordered: Town & Country or House Beautiful. When I called customer service they said the October issues would be shipped Oct. 21, so I'll receive them both close to November. What's the point? I'll most likely cancel the Hearst Magazines and buy them occasionally at the start of the month. I do love these magazines, but the seasons and timing of them is everything!

title: Amazing

text: I choose this rating because I am extremely happy with my magazine. I also love that while I am waiting for my magazine I have it electronically already and it is easy to download on your tablet.


title: Worth every penny very informative

text: Recently started subscribing had many useful articles a step by step guide to trouble shooting your car when it won't start.  A review of as seen on tv products if there worth the money, a how to article on creating your own smart home.  If your a do it your selfer or want to be this mag is for you thanks


title: She only got 2 magazines from the first of the year.

text: The 2 that my Granddaughter got were torn up from not protecting it in the mail. I am s<br />So Disappointed !!!!!


title: A complete let down- it is almost all ads.

text: Don't even bother getting this. It is like reading one big ad to your children.


title: Politicized Publication

text:
If you politics are not Liberal, don’t even bother. I was a subscriber since the magazines inception, and now that they have descended into political rhetoric, I will not renew. I’d rather not associate with a magazine that peddles hate and calls it something else.

Have doubts? Read Mr. Hughes “The Binding of Donald Trump” in the current issue.


title: Womens Health

text: Received subscription within 4 weeks of purchase.  I wish this magazine was published in a larger print, like other magazine I read.  Its small font is difficult to read.


title: Self Magazine

text: Received SELF magazine within one month of subscription, earlier than predicted.  Magazine is current, innovative and I am very happy with this product.


title: Three Stars

text: The New Yorker us great, but I never got my tote bag!


title: Love love love this magazine.

text: Love love love this magazine. I never throw away any issues. I read these and re-read over and over. Great magazine!!


title: Happy country living

text: I have been receiving the issues and I love the content of this magazine (why I subscribed!). Lots of great ideas and inspiring stories on creative types who enjoy all things country, vintage, crafty and cozy.


title: Charged twice

text: The AJN charged me twice for one subscription and then refused to give me a refund. The customer service reps were rude to deal with and I will never buy this product again.


title: Very Informative

text: My husband enjoys each issue!


title: Slanted

text: Used to love this magazine.  It was jam-packed with great articles about the craft of writing, publishing, agents, and contests.  In recent years, it has become too political and "woke."  Can't stomach it anymore.


title: Was shorted an issue in 2011 and won't renew

text: The November 2011/Fall 2011 double issue was a scam that wasn't fair to customers.  The magazine is okay, but not great and the last straw for me was the "double" issue without notice or warning or approval from me when I paid for a certain number of issues.  I'll never subscribe again.

title: Louisiana Cooking

text: Wonderful pictures and great recipes. That part truly scores high,especially if you like to cook and enjoy food. Might be nice to have a little more on really good places of all prices to eat at in Louisiana though. Just in case you get the chance to try.

text: Excellent magazine! Really nothing out there like it as far as I know. Very inspirational! My husband and boys made a bunch of the stuff in it.


title: Mostly ads.

text: It seems like this magazine is more interested in advertising than providing readers with ideas.  I can usually only find one or two things that actually make me stop and read the article.  Mostly, I thumb past all the ads and come to the end.


title: LOVE IT!

text: I subscribe to lots of magazines, but this is my favorite!  It's full of very doable projects and ideas.  I've even given subscriptions as gifts.  It's a keeper!

title: Renew save it not working.

text: I did renew subscription. Instead of renew it, it signed my up for another subscription. I called and send emailed, so far I have not got the refund yet. Please be careful if you want to Renew this magazine. I do not have have problem with renewing other magazine in amazon.

title: Not what it used to be.

text: The old IN STYLE was so much more interesting, a good read.  besides fashion. Seemed to something for everyone then. It is not for me anymore, and I am planning to cancel it when my automatic renewal comes up in December.

text: Great magazine, love the auto delivery.


title: Hi

text: Takes 2-3 months to start so I have no idea.


title: Not a big fan

text: I recently got this subscription for free because of my GQ subscription.  I'm not a big fan of this magazine - it seems to be entirely made up of ads for high-end fashion with few substantive articles or anything really worth my time.  If I ever want to look at pictures of clothes I definately can't afford, I'll flip through "Details".


title: The best magazine publication!

text: This is one of the very best print magazine publications out there. Definitely a must have!


title: Paid for 12 months.  Got 6 months.

text: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!  Even if you pay upfront for a year, you will be getting their junk mail to renew at a higher rate within a month, every month.  And for me, even though I paid for the year, I got just 6 months and it stopped.  I am going to take that as a sign to find a more reputable company.


title: Love the photos!

text: Wonderful, as it has always been.  Several things in the first issue are on my to do list.


title: Enough for everyone

text: I'm never disappointed when my copy arrives in the mail. The variety of article are great for beginners and expert hikers. Online links provide more details and other stories. Well worth the price, and I've used many of the advice from this magazine when preparing and executing my trips.


title: Misdelivered, now I'm subscribing

text:
This may be a strange review, considering I don't even own a horse, but I'm subscribing to the magazine after it was misdelivered to my house.

Before taking down the street to my neighbor, I started reading a couple of the scientific articles on horse health and the latest medical advice. Wow, the writing is outstanding and authoratative, without a lot of the jargon that other magazines assume you know. Each term is well-defined or is understandable through the context of the article.

I didn't get much out of the article on riding attire, but I find the depth of other articles appealing. The medical advice alone is worth the price, but there is so much more to instruct and educate horse owners.

I only wish other niche publications took this degree of attention and detail and packaging. The layout is great, and the photos accentuate the text - not distract from it.


title: Best Photography Magazine, Period.

text: This is the best photography magazine.  With clear, concise stories that seem written better than most other photo mags, and over 150 years under it's belt (over 7500 issues released), this magazine has it all.


title: Beware auto renewal

text: They auto renewed this without me ever choosing that option.


title: Well written and edited.

text:
I can't say it is the best magazine on the subject as i haven't found others that i can compare it to.
Never the less i would recommend it to others as a top rate magazine.

title: The perfect magazine for shoppers

text: Lucky is exactly what it says: the magazine all about shopping. It's perfect for finding fashion, beauty, and decorating items of all sorts, and includes guides on shopping for other interesting things each months (Sake, or bicycles, for example). The magazine is well laid-out and fun to look at, and most of the content is well worth reading. Don't expect anything outide the realm of shopping, however. Unlike other women's magazines, you wont find any dumbed-down articles on relationships, health, or sex here. Lucky has generally done a good job of providing items for all budgets in the past. It seems that lately things have gotten slightly more pricey, but there are still more than enough bargain finds to make it more than worth-while for those on a small budget.


title: One Star

text: to many adds not enough articles


title: Disappointed

text: I have bought this magazine at other book stores every month, so I decided to get the subscription so I wouldnt have to look for at the store, and I still have not recieved it. I am very disappointed in the fact that I buy their products and watch their shows and I cant get a simple magazine in the mail. It makes me sad.


title: Good fun magazine

text: They stay on the cutting edge of fun and unique things. I have always liked the magazine. If you have time to spare, order it and have some fun reading.


title: One Star

text: I have received ANY issues yet!


title: 10 star

text: Love it super cool facts and it's worth  it every bit


title: The new version of the magazine is too artsy.

text: I liked the older version, it was more of a purist motorcycle magazine.  Now it is more of a motorcycle style magazine, especially with promoting a small segment of motorcycling consisting of cafe racers and artisian designers.  While I preferred viewing the content in print, most of the content about new models of motorcycles and technical information that used to be in the old magazine has moved online and is now free.  I already have too much screen time and digital distractions now, I just don't have time to get online and read what used to be in the magazine.  I guess it's reaction to the steep decline in motorcycle sales nationwide in the US and an attempt to attract a younger reader.


title: Too focused on midwest

text: Well written magazine but not enough articles covering hunting and fishing in the west especially hunting mule deer


title: Good magazine

text: My grandsons love to read this magazine


title: Tons of info! Lots of fun colors and ideas

text: I love this magazine! It’s my escape to dream and start to plan new projects around the house!


title: Love!

text: I've been getting this magazine for about 6 months, and I couldn't be happier. You get roughly 15 misses patterns (often more) per issue which is quite a bit of bang for your buck. Sizes generally range from 34-44 (US 8-18 pattern sizing), with several options for plus sizes (44-52). Each month, you will also find a wide range of other things to create, such as childrenswear, menswear, bags, home décor, toys, knit/crochet, etc. You name it, Burdastyle dabbles in it, but you just never know what you are going to get- each month is a surprise. As far as difficulty, Burdastyle is quite a bit different than US patterns. First of all, the pattern insert somewhat resembles a road map when you first unfold it. Each pattern piece must be traced off onto your own tissue paper and seam allowances are not included. Things that are rectangular in shape (like button plackets, cuffs) must be drafted yourself with the measurements they give you. You don't get very wordy, very specific instructions with diagrams. What you get is text that has been translated from German to UK English with NO pictures, other than the pattern layout. They do include 2 sewing lessons in each issue though, which includes pictures and step-by-step instructions. There is a page that has the line art for each design with a dot system that indicates difficulty, 1 dot meaning easy, and 3 (usually the highest) meaning more difficult. This is generally a good place to start if you are unsure. I highly recommend this to any sewing enthusiast, especially to those who have a good knowledge base and are looking for something new. The lines of these designs are very unique, interesting, and very trendy. I don't think you would be disappointed!


title: So chic!

text: The next best thimg to actually being in France!


title: Would like a little more substance...

text: Occasionally has very well written articles.  Almost always learn something new about Texas, a new place to investigate.  However, the content/advertising ratio has gotten so low that it's hard to read.

title: The best publication in its class, but not perfect

text:
Of the two major wine magazines, Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, I have to say that Wine Advocate is my preferred source for finding a truly exceptional wine to enjoy. Wine Advocate is primarily the work of the noted wine critic Robert Parker, who is sometimes accused of being one of the leading "wine snobs" in the industry. Although Parker does use some pretentious lingo and some obscure references in his tasting notes, I find his tasting descriptions generally more accurate than those of the critics of Wine Spectator. Sure, he dislikes Burgundy, but at least now he has hired a more than competent fellow critic (Pierre Rovani) to cover that region for him.

Both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have been criticized for writing too many superlative reviews of less than exceptional wines, but I feel that Parker and Wine Advocate are less guilty in that respect, even though, as a previous reviewer noted, he does put more wines in the coveted 95+ point range. Still, Wine Advocate does a far better job than Wine Spectator of placing wines and their ratings in perspective, and avoiding clichés such as "vintage of a lifetime" that the Spectator frequently falls prey to. I have found Parker and Wine Advocate to be superior to Wine Spectator in their coverage of Bordeaux, especially in my favorite sub-regions, Sauternes and Barsac.

My only major complaints about Wine Advocate is that Parker generally assumes that all of his readers can afford to pay the relatively high price for his publication (currently more than $12/issue on Amazon). There are many 90+ point wines available for the difference between the yearly costs of Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator. Additionally, Parker and Wine Advocate really do not focus as much on wine values as they could, and I have found Parker's coverage of Australia somewhat disappointing. Generally speaking, however, I find Wine Advocate to be the best major Wine Publication available in English and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys wine with a passion.

title: Home as sanctuary

text: I still haven't quite gotten over the demise of Victoria magazine but Romantic Homes has helped.  The photography is not as beautiful but the ideas shown offer possibilities an average person (i.e. not wealthy) might incorporate into one's home.  At first the designs seemed primarily shabby chic and while there is still a lot of white rooms portrayed more color and variety has improved the spreads.  I would like to see more garden articles.


title: The Best Cooking Magazine out there

text: Some people don't care why the food came out great or why it came out horrible.  I do, and that's why I love this magazine.  I enjoy reading what the author/cook went through to arrive at the printed recipe. I also enjoy the colorful covers and the back page with beautiful drawings of a "topic" food, such as a variety of tomotoes, hams, etc.  Great magazine.  However, I'm not crazy about their website.

text: I love this magazine so much. It has been a long time since I lived in France but each time this magazine arrives, I am, for at least a little while, living my French life.


title: How do you get off this mailing list???

text: I wish 0 stars was an option. There is no apparent way to get off their mailing list.  I changed my late mother's address so I would receive her final medical bills, and American Baby decided that a deceased 92 year old who hadn't been able to read in 3+ years would be a perfect recipient of the magazine.


title: Kids love it

text: quality magazine. Grand kids adore the pictures.


title: Not for young jwomen

text: I've read reviews and thought that Mariue Claire would be better than Cosmo (it's all about sex in Cosmo) but I'm dissapointed. Marie claire is like in style the whole magazine is just a photos of models and advertisments. There are maybe 2 or 3 articles but they are not so interesting. All in all if you are in your twenties you should choose cosmo or glamour.


title: So much other disappointments for magazines

title: A good journal for yoga enthusiasts

text: I prefer the Himalayan Institute's publication over the Yoga Journal as the Journal is much more Western in it's approach to the practice, less spiritual.  The Yoga Journal also features far too many ads and almost exclusively models with perfect bodies which, I believe, keeps people from exploring a practice that was never intended for perfect bodies.

I've been receiving Shutterbug for a while.

The articles, for the most part, are OK.  Once in a while I run into very some very good articles.
Unfortunately, regardless of the quality of the article, the ratio of ads versus usable content is awful.

They'll literally use about 10% of a two page spread on the article while 90% is reserved for ads.

I don't mind having some ads.  I understand that's how they're making a lot of their money, but I'm also paying for the subscription and feel like I don't get my money's worth...

I read a quantity of automotive magazines. I have been driving, modifying, and enjoying Porsches since the late 60s.

If your interests lie in Porsche-land, the hands down best magazine is "excellence". From the early days when it was called "Porsche" [PCNA didn't like that and forced a name change], through the latest issue, "excellence" has always had the best, most original reading on the planet.

Sure, sometimes they have inaccurate technical information and incorrect specifications. Sometimes their writers and editors have missed the enthusiast's point. BUT, nothing else even comes close for issue after issue of superior reading enjoyment.

All I can say is keep them coming!
John Rice

I thought it worthwhile to add that any issues I have had with excellence magazine as I noted previously..in terms of their tech info. They were actually small nitpicks and they remain WORLD'S ahead of their competition. No one else is close. It seems that every time I buy one of the UK Porsche magazines I am disgusted at how inept and lazy they are about keeping their facts accurate. I still sometimes buy them but only because they have a particularly unique article I want to read. I have NEVER had issues like this with excellence. I have subscribed since the first issue and suspect I will continue until I either get too old to read/drive.... or die. ;->

I have been a Men's Health reader for many years.  I also read Esquire and GQ regularly.  Best Life is a "mellow-er" version of these magazines in a well published package.

There are health and relationship sections, money management, investment suggestions, travel tips, cuisine,  social issues, etc.

The articles are informative and concise.

I think it is worth the price of the year subscription.

I have been reading this magazine for more than 30 years.  It was much better when it came as a short weekly.  The new longer bi-weekly version is more difficult to read and does not hold my atention like the weekly did.  But I continue to subscribbe.  It would be great if Amazon could get them to come out with a Kindle version.  How about it, Amazon?

title: I Like History

text: Out of all of the history magazines I subscribe to, this is one.  There are many good articles and an occasional poor one.  I really don't know what to say about it except that it is worth the money to me.  It gives me a couple of good hours of reading every time it comes.

title: Great magazine to keep up on new businesses, ideas, and technology.

text: I have to admit that I am a Technogeekwannabe, so I may be slightly prejudiced. I am a new Wired subscriber, I buy and sell stock options so my purchase in subscribing was to get a heads up on technology and up and coming companies  I am finding that I just enjoy reading it.  It has found a way to not take itself too seriously, but be able to  explain complicated new products, concepts, and companies to people like me  (a "wannabe") in a way I can understand without bruising my brain.<br />It's great.  Enjoy

It's really disturbing when a publisher or any kind of merchant sets up automatic renewal and customers are charged a fee that is not expected.

title: Not bad, but not what we remembered.

text: We used to buy All You at the news stand.  Some things have changed. No coupons and took forever to get started on the subscription.  Not bad articles though.


title: Sad decline

text: I was a subscriber for about 5 years.  I also read it a lot as a teen when my parents subscribed.  But this year I let my subscription lapse without renewal.  A few reviewers have criticized the liberal bias.  Some of the articles are liberal to be sure, but overall I don't think it's a leftwing rag.  I just noticed that the number of articles that interested me declined in number.  In my opinion there were only about 4 great articles per year.  Most of the others were either 'so-so' or just unreadable.  Paul Burka is the only gem left in the Magazine.  Even when I disagree with him I enjoy reading his articles. He's a very gifted writer. But he alone wasn't worth keeping the subscription going.  From now on I will just peruse TM at the library.  Hopefully a new editor will come along in the near future and return the magazine to it's former greatness.

title: Five Stars

text: Always a good read if this is your thing.


I’m admittedly way past the demographic that this magazine sells too. Growing up I loved the fashion sense this magazine gave me perspective to,  now not so much. Now it’s both blatantly typical and yet sometimes way to fashion forward at the same time. Not to mention that besides pop stars and celebrities I’m not sure who can really afford the clothes. I’m not even going to delve into the political slant that is so negative and berating it’s overwrought and over kill. Shouldn’t really matter what faction of the political spectrum you fall into when reading an article if it’s interesting and factual and NOT hyped opinion. Obviously disappointed and won’t be renewing my subscription regardless of the price.


title: Fantastic Gift idea ~

text: Simply put, I renewed my subscription for Writer's Digest for my daughter, after asking her if "it was worth it". A resounding YES,Mom! (She is an adult daughter, by the way,looking into a new avenue for her career!) She gave the articles a positive, saying "there is always something in each magazine that helps me toward my goal!"

title: Ordered this two months ago and have yet to see an issue.

text: I love the magazine when I buy a copy. I ordered this and have yet to see an issue sent to me.


title: wow did Outdoor life shrink

text: I grew up with Outdoor Life and Jack O'Connor, etc.  I didn't realize how it has shrunk over the years. It's quite thin. Fewer pages.


title: An annual "Great Knockers" edition would make it perfect.

text: I'm serious. Men's Journal has all the stuff that men like to read - all the gear, adventure, how-to, where to go, neat stuff up the ying-yang and cover stories about famous guys doing what they do....but....there's nary a hot babe in sight. I know that Men's Journal doesn't concentrate on T&A, but I think they could throw us guys a fish with an annual Greatest Titty Issue featuring perhaps a 100 great sets of knockers. It hasn't hurt Sports Illustrated circulation, has it? With a touch of skin, Men's Journal could be the perfect men's mag.


title: Five Stars

text: Cute gym bag and first issue received as promised.


title: magazine

text: This is my son inlaw's favorite since he is a drummer in a band on weekends.  I renew this for him every year


title: Great gift for any old school skateboarder

text: My husband absolutely loves this magazine.  He is an true old school skateboarder and was really unable to connect with the other skateboard magazines that are moving to a new school view point.  He spends hours reading the articles and looking at the pictures.  Unfortunately, it makes him upset that we live in flat Florida and he craves hills.


title: very motivating

text: I thought I could do without it after subscribing for a year, but I can't. The workouts in the magazine are fabulous, and it is a great mag. Worth the price.


title: Good read

text: Good articles


title: Fantastic magazine subscription

text: We get these for my husband's grandpa. He loves getting these and I am very excited about the 48 issues over 12 months for 30 dollars.

title: Everywhere I Am

text: Vanity Fair is my favorite magazine, so no problem there. I went to the digital access site and it looks very easy. I'm getting a Kindle Fire for Christmas, so no problem there, either. What can I say? Life is good.


title: Great reading

text: Great articles and tips


title: This one is worth keeping.

text: I don't get as many magazines these days, with all of the online reading that I do ....... but this one is worth keeping.  The whole family enjoys it.


title: My daughter's favorite magazine

text: A kids' classic magazine that has been perfect for my animal obsessed daughter. The pictures are beautiful and the articles interesting. It's a nice segue into National Geographic at some point.


title: Informative and educational

text: Son loves these


title: Two Stars

text: Very hard to use


title: Three Stars

text: Some good stories, too much advertising.


There is too much fluff in the magazine. I realize they want to appeal to a younger generation but they made it too much like People magazine. It needs more in depth articles.


title: Stereophile isn't for you

text:
There are some big problems with Stereophile that make it worse than useless unless you already know a lot about audio (so that you can separate the useful parts from the stuff they make up):

- There's a lot of misinformation, bias, opinion and pure fantasy mixed in to the articles.  Unless you already know quite a bit about audio, it may be hard to separate the useful information from the rubbish.

The writers and the editors are simply not interested in really getting the facts right and testing what they know against reality - that's hard work and it's inconvenient, after all.  And facing reality would get in the way of the real reason this magazine is published, which is ....

- Like most magazines, Stereophile is a vehicle for selling advertising. Though they like to believe otherwise, Stereophile is no different from GQ or Maxim or Elle magazines. (That shouldn't surprise you, even though it might.)  Stereophile's main purpose is to help sell you more stuff, just like almost every other magazine.

And, like GQ or Elle, encouraging fashion trends is a key part of Stereophile trying to get you to spend more money.  That, for example, is why they are so excited about the return of vinyl.  It's not because vinyl actually sounds better (!?).  It's because after years of stasis, it's a huge opportunity to sell more advertising to try to sell you more stuff.  The fact that they moved all the turntables, etc, to the front of their recommended list of equipment helps prove the point.  Fashion trends are a magazine's best friend, whether it's GQ or Stereophile.

By the way, I'm not suggesting that the writers are consciously slanting the articles.  In a way, it's far more insidious than that:  they actually believe what they write.  There's an implicit selection process - the only way to get hired to or stay on the staff at Stereophile is to drink the Kool Aid.  Over time the primary goal has become making money, so Stereophile has inevitably been shaped into a vehicle for selling advertising.

So keep in mind that Stereophile isn't published for you, it's published for the advertisers and the owners. That might help guide you through the quagmire that is Stereophile magazine.  You're simply the "target" demographic.  Hold on to your wallet, and decide what to buy with your ears, not your eyes.

My son loves Catster and is always looking forward to the next issue! Too bad it only prints once every two months.


title: The best magazine for wannabe decorators!

text: Country Sampler is the kind of magazine that women actually await the next issue.  It is the BEST..


title: Far superior in quality and format to the US version.

text: The US version of Country Living should aspire to the quality of content and articles offered in the UK version.  I suspect there may be a demographics issue -- in the US, the notion of "Country" has been hijacked by animals (ie: geese, ducks, cows, rabbits) wearing trailing bows, grape-vine wreaths with plastic flowers hot-glued on, and tole painted milk jugs.  When I think American "Country Living" I think "Buy One Mobile Home, Get One Free:  Furniture Included".  In the UK, Country Living feels a bit more authentic and less kitsch-y.  There are great articles about animal husbandry, local food initiatives (as well as guidance on DIY food production), gorgeous old restored farmhouses and the shabby chic furniture that fills them, charming commentaries and columns detailing the quirky and quaint vignettes that make up a *life actually lived in the countryside* and filled with country pursuits.  Even the format (large) and quality of the paper (glossy, as opposed to National Enquirer quality) is superior.  I'm a firm believer in "You get what you pay for," and in this case, that is certainly true.


title: Newsweek Subscription

text: I bought the subscription as a gift for my dad on Father's Day.  The first issue arrived much sooner than the estimated 5-6 weeks, probably in only about 2 weeks.  It worked out well.


title: Have yet to receive the magazine

text:
I could not tell you about the magazine, my wife has yet to receive anything I have paid for.

I am guessing it's "Heinrich Bauer North America" fault...


title: Five Stars

text: I have always loved Sunset magazine.


title: Every Homeowner should have this Magazine

text: Great way to pass the time in quarantine!  I enjoy the DYI PROJECTS AND COOKING IDEAS!

text: It can be hard to find up to date info. This has it all in one place. Saves me time.


title: Five Stars

text: just the BEST DIY magazine there is!


title: As necessary as my other garden tools

text: My favorite gardening magazine. It always gets me motivated and inspired with new ideas, knowledge and pictures. The convenience of the kindle app is an extra plus. Highly recommended.


title: Boring

text: Comes in and is in the trash in > 5 minutes


title: This is an exceptional magazine.

text: Great information and pictures!  And fantastic deal!


title: Merry Giftmas

text:
Gifted a subscription to my God-brother and he loved it.
One: mail was coming with his name on it
Two: he loves to read
Three: he loves old cars
He was excited about this gift and collected every single magazine.


title: Great Roadbike only magazine

text: Dont want to renew... i thought there would be some mt bike info and there is none.


title: I hate magazines.

text: Did not order this, I hate magazines.


title: Cancelled.....

text: So, The Jewish Press is one of the newspapers I truly enjoyed reading.  The problem with this newspaper is that it often arrived three to four weeks of initial publication when all the news is extremely old.  I cancelled this subscription very early on.


title: Utter rubbish!

text: This has to be one of the worst digests to ever be permitted on Amazon.  First of all, this isn't a 'digest' at all.  It is a four sheet piece of paper that is mailed in a regular envelope at the end of the month.  It gives 'suggestions on stocks' that have already seen gains.  Secondly, the 'picker' is not licensed to provide this service as evidenced by the 'randomness' of the selections.  I wondered if a fifteen year old living in the basement of their parent's house did this.  Third, the 'digest' isn't printed to line up to the page - it is off the page in many cases and clearly is photocopied.  Utter rubbish!


title: Fantastic fresh water fishing magazine.

text: Just what I wanted.


title: plane nuts

text: I'm an aircraft nut, I've had a subscription to Air Classics for years!


title: Essence is a Fascinating Magazine

text: Keeps you up-to-date-on the culture of black america.


title: Not what it used to be.... now only 9 issuer per year

text:
The listing states 11 issued per year... but you only get 9.  Months combined are Jan/Feb, Apr/May, and Jun/Jul.....
Also page count is way down from my rememberace of years gone by...  In any event only about 75 pages.
Sometimes when a magazine drops below 100 pages, the handwriting is on the wall.


title: timely delivery

text: nice magazine


title: Always a classic gift.

text: Son loves his subscription


title: The Best for Technology

text:
This is without a doubt one of the best magazines to ever exist.

If you are interested in technology, the internet, etc. .  then you won't find a better source of information than Wired.


title: My son loves this

text: my son already had s subscription but Amazon had this really cheap so we bought it.  I explained in the comments when purchasing the product that we wanted the new subscription to begin after our current one ends.  No problem.


title: Four Stars

text: It is no longer a magazine for the ordinary folks, but geared to multi millionaires.

text: It arrived earlier than expected so that was a nice surprise.  I was a little disappointed in that it didn't have any daytime TV listings.  All in all a good experience.

text: enjoy this magazine


title: No service

text: Only got 1 issue....WHERE ARE THE REST?


Can read it if I don't ever get the magazine delivered.


title: Cartoons alone worth the price and priceless pieces a bonus.

text: It is always worthwhile for its journalistic excellence but too expensive for us retirees with erudite literary tastes and low fixed incoimes.


title: Outstanding video game reviews and previews are always up to date

text: The Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) has been one of the most consistent and fun gaming magazine to read since the inception of the first Xbox.  I have been a subscriber since that day and i can say from my own experience that this magazine is unlike all others.  When u read all the articles they do so in a un-biased manner so you know that their honest opinion about games is very accurate to what most people feel.  This magazine makes their subscribers feel like a part of their family and once you get adjusted to this style of magazine you wont be unsatisfied.  The only draw back is that if you dont own a xbox 360 or not into gaming then you wont find much interesting here obviously.  but if you do have an 360 then the OXM is a must have accesory to your collection because there is none better than this.


title: Nice Little Magazine

text: My wife has subscribed to this magazine for several years now and enjoys the many recipes within. Money well spent as I get to enjoy the meals she gets from it.

text: Good


title: Five Stars

text: Husband loves it.


title: Mostly ads

text: I got a free subscription, and received the magazine through mail. 90% of it was ads, and very little provided any sort of fitness advice. Ehat isn't ads is just interviews with celebrities about their training and diet programs. Disappointing. I wouldn't buy this.


title: Favorite magazine

text: I have been subscribing to this magazine for 15 years and feel like it's gotten better with time. When I was 20, I felt like the articles were being written for me...and I am now 30, and I still feel the same way.


title: I love National Geographic!

text: I have been reading and staring at the pictures in National Geographic magazine since I was a little kid.  I love their raw reflections on real culture, current events, nature, and science.  I have learned so much from reading this magazine, and the photography is breathtaking. Just as a kid, I still find that this periodical inspires my curiousity, and feeds my desire to want to learn.  I look forward to every new issue that comes in the mail!


title: maybe for someone else

text:
I like the idea of this magazine and am sure that many others find it useful.
For me, most of the projects are over my head or use tools I don't have or are for things that I just would never use.
I enjoy about 30% of the content.


title: Change to Food featured in Cooking Light

text: I’ve been subscribing to cooking light for 8-9 years. I have accumulated many great recipes from cooking light over the years. There has always been a huge variety of recipes to try, from easy /super fast weeknight dinners to themed meals (I.e recipes using anti-inflammatory ingredients) or entire holiday menus, reader recipes, and how-to techniques. I mean, one issue of cooking light would really give you so much to be inspired by and to be educated on. The magazine has changed editors, from Scott Mowbray to Hunter Lewis in 2014. The magazine still has great articles on food and health and still is inspiring - but there has been a noticeable change is the type of food and recipes that it features. I’m findng it harder to choose recipes that I want to cook. The style of food is going in a direction where it is very heavy on vegetables. I just don’t find the food as appealing, as it seems to focus on food you should eat if you are on a diet as opposed to food you want to eat that happens to also be fresh and healthy. It’s lost it’s “oh my gosh that looks yummy” reaction to “hmm that’s an interesting looking salad.” Some people will love the change but I personally find the food to be one-note. The photography has never been better and the health and food journalism continues to shine. Any food article written by Ann Taylor Pittman will be excellent. But the food featured in Cooking Light seems to have lost its yum factor. I really hope it is a temporary phase.


title: This magazine used to be great

text: Shape used to be such a great magazine. They used to have detailed workout plans for cardio, strength training, and diet that were excellent, creative, and challenging with amazing photography. I remember their beach body workouts that were a part of an ongoing 5 month series and their total body workout plans that would be kicked off in January issues. Every issue would be full of cardio and  strength training plans, along with express workouts and specific moves for arms, abs, etc.This magazine used to be so inspiring! Now when I flip through it, I actually get mad at how little this magazine invests in giving their readers a real workout plan. The magazine likes to write articles about the art of exercising but with little to no tangible exercise examples. It drives me nuts to get teased with a picture of a person working out only to turn the next page and see text descriptions of what to do. Seriously? This is a fitness magazine and you can’t provide a picture of the exercise you are recommending, you want me to read a text description of what to do? Another annoyance I find is how Shape will feature pages and pages of glamorous fitness models posing and flexing their lean muscles in trendy workout clothes, along with text describing how great a workout you are going to have. After eagerly turning the page to reach the actual workout ‘section’, I see one page crammed with tiny photos. Shape will only dedicate a single page to the exercises after the huge buildup. They don’t even lay out the exercise photos with enough space to separate out the moves, they are smashed together and shrunk down. Also, the exercises are not that attainable - some of the moves are complicated but with the limited photos, you are left puzzling over how to move from step 1 to 2. And that is only if you get any kind of exercise plan. I’ve just flipped through a years worth of Shape mags that I have been needing to recycle, and it is not predictable to see any workout plan laid out per issue. If you enjoy reading about exercising, but not interested in actually doing it, then this mag is fine. But I wish Shape would make big changes to their direction. I am so profoundly disappointed in what it has become and will no longer subscribe to Shape.


title: Ads and Politics

text:
Was interested in learning about history, science, and other interesting endeavors and facts. Not having someone else's political beliefs shoved down my throat. Cancelled my subscription and will never purchase again.

Oh and the ads didn't help anything either.


title: Avid Reader for over 20 years

text: my love affair with Motorcycles started at about age 12, and has never slowed down. Cycle World has only served to fuel the fire for the next purchase / dream of the amazing motorcycles being built. Please don't go all digital like some magazines, I personally do not like reading online stories or articles.


title: Didn't order

text: I don't remember ordering this.  I ordered several magazines but this was not on my list.


title: BBC - absolutely the best history magazine

text: BBC is the best magazine that I have found to date for reading interesting stories about historical events and people.  Their coverage ranges from well before the birth of Christ to relatively current events.  Good movie and book reviews for history buffs, early-day recipes for cooks, and challenging crossword puzzles (particularly for non-UK readers).  I look forward to every issue.


title: Be Prepared to Wait

text: It's now been over six weeks since I ordered Yoga Journal.  I've never had to wait this long for a subscription to start.  Usually the most recent issue is sent right away and the next issue is sent according to the magazine's schedule.  I ordered this as a gift for my wife's birthday but that's long gone.  The waiting time is really quite unusual given the publishing technology currently available.


title: Great Mag

text: Love this magazine... learn stuff you would never know otherwise.  You can read it on the run on your tablet.


title: Southern Living Magazine

text: This is one of the BEST magazine for women in today's market.I look forward every month with anticipation for my new copy.From "looking & Feeling Great" articles, to "Travel" to my favorite section section "THE RECIPES" (which by the way are true and tested on their own kitchen) I think that if I could only by one magazine, it would have to be this one!


title: Very Little on Women's health mostly fluff

text:
This magazine is titled "Women's Health" but, in realty I find more health for women in "Self". Which is to say pretty sad thing because I was pumped to hear about not only healthier food options but, also things to look out for in my health and my sisters health. As well as options for working out, story on women who have struggled and fight back against the ailments and wish to impart some knowledge upon us.

Basically, the mag reads like this: AD,AD,AD,AD, Table of Context, AD,AD,AD, Word from editor, AD,AD .....
If you don't believe me pick up a copy at your local grocery store and thumb through it I guarantee it reads very similar. So, you as to the content the AD's are plentiful and are NOT about health products but lipstick, makeup, perfume, clothes, and etc...

The articles that are in the mag are sub par in fact just thinking about them made me drop it yet another star in this review. I've read better stories and articles in the newspaper and most are about clothes to buy by your shape to workout in or shades of nail polish that will be the in thing this season. Huh, what in the world does fashion have to do with anybody's health. I believe you'd find more helpful advice from the Victoria's Secret catalog and prices to boot plus its free.

Best thing to do if your at all interested in this mag is like I stated earlier stop by a store that has this mag and thumb through it. Also, do us all a favor and tell them their magazine is titled all wrong or to actually do topics on Health not fluff. I mean really!


title: Great magazine

text: Great magazine with many recipes that are easy to follow.


title: If You Like The Offbeat, The Weird, The Unexplained and the Just Plain Hilarious--This One's For You!!

text: This gem of a magazine--published in Britain but covering the world--is about all things fortean. The odd, the strange, the inexplicable, the paranormal--what we forteans like to call events of "high strangeness"--all and more are covered monthly in "Fortean Times". The publication is first-class all the way--glossy colored pages, tons of photos, and articles that will hold you fascinated for hours. PLUS reviews of fortean-themed books, video games, TV shows and movies, letters from readers, "It Happened to Me", readers' personal reports of odd happenings--fish falling from a clear sky, two-headed sheep, things that go bump in the night, bizarre coincidences, VERY odd manners of death--if this magazine bores you, please check your pulse!! True, it's not for everyone--but if you're an admirer of the century-old books of Charles Fort, the American who chronicled odd and unexplainable happenings around the world, if you like weirdness mixed with superb writing and a marvellous, cheeky sense of humor--you will soon be waiting by the door for the next issue to arrive. Absolutely superb--yes, I admit it proudly, I am a Fortean Times addict!! I even keep back copies and re-read them--I promise you, this is money very, very well spent!!! P.S. I love this magazine!! ;)


title: They will never stop calling you!!!!!!!!!!

text: I will never buy anything from national geographic again!!!! I have had this subscription for 8mo now and for 8mo have been being stocked!!! There are atleast 4 different companies that call you each month to tell you that they are servicing your subscription (total lye because I got it through Amazon who has not bugged me even once) They call all hours of the day and no matter how many times I say take me off your list they keep calling!!!! Also National Geographic had several junk departments that call trying to get you to buy movies and such from them. I have never been hounded so much. These people are relentless. I have other subscription to magazines that I have purchased through amazon with no problems but these guys are awefull!!!!!  The farther I get into this subscription the more they call. Christmas week it was 3 times EACH DAY and they wont take me off the list. This is a beautiful magazine but at this point I am so sick of them that seeing one makes me sick!


title: Whole family Read!!

text: We love having Popular Mechanics around to keep our young boys interested in reading. Even when the articles are too hard for our youngest reader to read the pictures spark his interest and make for great daddy / son time!! It has interesting articles for everyone.


title: Have not recieved

text: I have not received this and it was promised for delivery the first of the month.  It is now the middle of the month.

title: Love this magazine, very informative

text: Love this magazine, very informative.


title: Greatest Business-related magazine out there.

text: The business magazine for readers with Attention problems!  This is right up my alley because it talks about the most important changes in technology, what's going on under the radar in business today, and who's making it happen.  I walk away from every single issue with an idea that I can incorporate into our company.

title: Love it

text: So excited to get this magazine! I have been getting it for 2 years already and was so excited to renew it. One of my favorites!


title: Brought to you by JIFFY LUBE

text: Sitting in a Jiffy Lube right now looking at an Entrepreneur Mag and thought I'd check out Amazon... at $8.99 it doesn't seem bad for a full year. Some of these reviews are right, it is technically "mostly" Ads. 69 full page ads out of 120 pages of total Mag. 57.5% Ads. (YES , I counted, changing the oil in the shoebox engine bay of my girlfriends Fiat is taking forever)  But at this price (and since selling ads is how print media stays clinging to life)... I don't think it a horrible deal. The content doesn't seem as riveting as Inc has been in previous years though.

text: Fun magazine to read and remember actors from earlier era.


So far the articles are top notch and very interesting. I'm very satisfied with the magazine so far.


title: Why isn't this available on Kindle?

text: There doesn't seem to be a link to request magazines be made available for Kindle.  There are very few magazines available on Kindle at the moment.  I would very much like to see The Economist and NewScientist magazines on the Kindle.  So far, there doesn't seem to be a way to request that from Amazon other than this review form which doesn't really seem to be an appropriate place for such a request.


title: Love this magazine

text: Love this magazine, but somehow I'm getting double issues and a new subscription invoice. hope I'm not getting charged twice for a renewal when it's issues I've already received.


title: educational yet entertaining

text:
I love this magazine, always have since I was a child! Science fascinates me and this magazine introduces the reader to science at its cutting edge! I will be a lifetime subscriber!

My nephews LOVE to read my old copies of the magazine, especially at the contraptions that never made it...

text: If you are looking for great fashion, great beauty tips, and just plain fun then this is the magazine for you.  My daughters and I love looking at this together and enjoy sharing the tips we learn from it!  This is the best price available too.


title: Cancelled with out any notice

text:
I have this as a gift for Christmas.  The person received one issue but nothing after. I contacted amazon and the rep stated:

"I contacted the publisher and they informed me that this subscription was canceled on Dec 6, 2011 directly through them. They were unable to provide any further details to me on this cancellation."

I nor the recipient requested to cancel.


title: Cold, Sterile, Boring, and Esoteric to the Point of Parody.

text:
Reading this magazine is like reading a National Geographic article on some isolated tribe that thinks the universe ends at the river edge...except this jungle is tiny parts of Manhattan, London, and Milan. The magazine is filled with glowing exposes on people you've never heard of and, once you read the article, can't fathom why you would ever want to hear about them. Filthy rich, obscure "artists" and "essayists" (is that still a thing?) are elevated as being the "royals of culture" in such and such context, which is impressive because most people who would be called royalty of anything are at least recognizable by more than a dozen people living outside of upper-east Manhattan.

The high fashion shoots featured tend be cold, sterile, and generally unappealing across nearly every aesthetic. Models and non-models who, from their short stories, are probably lively, interesting people manage to come across as frozen and half dead in this magazine. Which, I suppose, is the current fashionable aesthetic...again. Meth-head chic or whatever they're calling the skeletal, pasty nothingness wrapped inside a $20K coat.

text: I didn't realize this does not include access the digital version.  Of very limited use to me if I cannot access digital.


title: Great addition to your Mac-filled Life

text: MacLife is a great magazine for people who love their Mac's and want to get the most out of them. Whether its in product recommendations or in stories, the magazine is well worth the subscription price.


title: Delivery Delay, But well worth it

text: I would like to start off by commenting on why this magazine subscription has such a low rating. Almost all magazine subscriptions I have purchased through Amazon take a few months to start receiving. It took about 4-5 months for me to get my first issue of Alt Press. Expect that delay. For the very low magazine prices on Amazon, I think its worth it. This is a very good magazine for those that enjoy Alternative Rock music. One of my favorite features of the magazine is the up and coming album release schedule it gives you in the first few pages.

title: Just another pop-science magazine--and with bad customer support

text: I have been reading SciAm since the 1970s. However, in the past decade or so, the dumbing down of this once fine monthly has made it orbit between decent to just another pop-science magazine, such as "Discover." Since I travel internationally, I am only able to subscribe to SciAm digitally. I hear that "American Scientist" is much better. Alas, "American Scientist" does not have a digital subscription.<br />FURTHER UPDATE: In the past five years I have held two SciAm digital subscriptions. I cancelled my first subscription because too often it was difficult to download given issues I had paid for. After a one-year hiatus, I subscribed again, hoping things were better. I have again cancelled— this time because not only was it difficult to find my download, but the SciAm site refused to let me download the June 2016 issue into my iPad. Whereas other newspapers and magazines I subscribe to or use have a "Sign In" or "Log On" link—usually top right—on their home landing page, SciAm has a only "Subscribe" button. One has to search around inside the website to find the Log On button. Since I don't always remember where to look for the Log On button, I sometimes click on the issue jpg to bring me to the issue page. One would think a paying customer who is signed in would have the option of downloading the issue here. But NO! Here you will only find options to "subscribe," or "pay" for a single issue or article. When I was unable to download the June 2016 issue on the archive page, which I had found with difficulty, I made an overseas call to Scientific American's service department to ask where and how I could download my issue. I was told to hit the "Store" button on the main page and to hit the "Archive" button on the Store page.( Apparently, Scientific American has such little regard for paying customers that they want to try to sell them something additional before letting them get what they've already paid for.) I was then told to click on the June 2016 issue to download. I still couldn't download the issue. The rep took my email address and said SciAm's tech department would get back. Two days later I received an email from Scientific American trying to sell me my already paid for June 2016 issue. I have since canceled my subscription.


title: The kids love this

text: Once a month, the magazine comes in. My two children decide with each other who gets it the issue, whoever gets the issue gives the last issue they read to the other child. They look forward to the crafts, the stories, the artwork. It's a magazine that is designed just for them. I love that it fuels their creativity.


title: Sapiosexual Journal

text: Hope they go digital but otherwise one of the best, most interesting reads anywhere


title: Home Grown

text: Herb Quarterly has a wonderful home-grown feel that results from the marriage of watercolor and other fine art with all sorts of articles concerning herbs.  While there is a quaint look to HQ the articles are up-to-date, thorough and very informative.  This magazine will appeal to all types of people interested in herbs, from beginners to more adept herbalists, there is always something of interest.  HQ features a diverse approach and coverage of herbs, crossing cultures and various orientations making it open to medicinal herbalists, gardeners, product formulators (handmade soap & other natural products) aromatherapists and magical herbalists.


title: General Aviation Spoken Here At Plane & Pilot

text: I've been reading Plane and Pilot for many years because the articles and airplanes are about down to earth flying yet keeps us current on all the new technology. Real world aviation with an eye on general aviation.

title: Subscription takes forever

text: I ordered a subscription for my boyfriend in prison last june (june 2019) and when he got transferred the end of September he still had never gotten an issue. With magazines they go in the regular mail and they get them within 2-3 days. So Amazon refunded my money because they was also a mistake on their end. A new subscription was ordered early jan and now its estimated march 28th until it starts but nobody can even tell me if hes getting April since it starts 2 days prior. We've had no problems with any other magazines and other inmates are receiving their issues. We've now tried for 8 mos for the first issue. This is ridiculous


title: Every homeowner should subscribe

text: Amazingly DIY easy task that look wonderful


title: This should be illegal. Called the FTC.

text:
Deny Amazon's request to share your name and payment information. I have a 135 IQ, and it took me six months to figure out the scam. Here's my original review:

I've been ripped off! This is bs.
Low introductory price, then an auto renewal that is impossible to stop.
This is a deal breaker. If they take another penny from me for this magazine, I'm severing ties with Jeff Besos.
How much money do you need?

PS. I will do my best to publicize this. And the call to the FTC will be followed by calls to my senators and congressmen. And Fox News.

title: Essential reading for the motivated amateur or professional cook

text:
All in French, but a wonderful source of inspiration for the experienced cook.  This is not a Food Channel wantabe magazine, but it is essential for the professional chef, or motivated home cook.  A bit costly....I usually subscribe every few years, but the inspiration and basic information is timeless.  Never any regrets.

Bon cooking

title: Over Saturated City

text: I'm letting my subscription expire.  If you like a magazine flooded with over-saturated, super-photoshopped images, and most importantly, images which don't look much like the original scene at all, then this is a magazine for you, but not me.

title: Great help in living a healthy life.

text: I have been getting recipes off of Eating Well for a year or two.  I finally decided to subscribe to the magazine and I really enjoy it.  Not only do they have good recipes, but great tips on healthy living.

title: Five Stars

text: great


title: Best price

text: When it came time to renew my subscription, I did it through Amazon. Significantly less than through USAToday. I even called them to see if they could do a price match. Nope. Do this when it is about two weeks before your subscription ends.


title: Shameless

text: Having just received the Jan 2010 issue, I'm appalled. Apparently National Geographic Kids is Mr. Hyde to the adult's magazine's Dr. Jekyll. None of what NG has worked hard to establish with their flagship magazine is here. When trying to imagine this magazine, don't think "National Geographic Kids" rather "Cosmo Kids" gives you a better sense of its content: Cheap pandering to its audiences urges with barely an attempt to redeem itself. For example, I'd love to see NG Kids promote films about wildlife to my kids, like IMAX's Under the Sea or Wild Oceans. Instead the wildlife film promoted is the Chimpmunk Squeakquel, complete with Alvin and his buddies in a toilet. I've seen Rob Schneider movies with more dignity.


title: The great writing keeps me coming back

text: There's only one reason I look forward to receiving this magazine - the way the feature stories report not only an event, but also the characters (I mean, people) within them. Writers would benefit from reading these pieces on a regular basis.


title: ... lived or traveled to the West Coast you will enjoy the articles and pictures

text: If you've ever lived or traveled to the West Coast you will enjoy the articles and pictures.  Great ideas for restaurants and lodging plus many good recipes.  It's a great Christmas gift.


title: Four Stars

text: ok


title: No Darren Hardy??

text: I did not realize that Darren Hardy was gone. I was looking forward to listening to his interviews on the CD, that was my main reason for purchasing.


title: too modernistic

text: I have subscribed to country living for many years.  It is beginning to be too modernistic to me..  I prefer antiques and clutter to stainless steel modern.  Just my taste.  I am finding the Hoffman publications more to my liking.


title: Pretentious, yes...

text: Sure, the advertisements cater to a wealthier crowd... but it's still a very cool, well-written publication.  As a stay-at-home-mom who couldn't afford a single thing in the magazine, I still really enjoy the articles & layout.  Who says one has to be rich to enjoy a good flip through a mag?  I think it may also bother some that it caters to a "younger, hipper" crowd.  Some of the articles come from an alternative point-of-view, but I happen to really dig that.<br />I recommend it to all of my friends and will continue to subscribe!


title: Why pay this much????

text:
Fantastic magazine from a great cook and an entertaining woman.

But, WHY pay this much? It's FAR LESS to sign up directly through Paula's site.


title: BEST ON THE MARKET!

text: I'm not big on magazine subscriptions, but being an avid scrapper this magazine is a MUST HAVE!  The scrapbooking craze has taken off and of all the different magazines out there - this is the one to have!  The ideas are beautifully portrayed and are sent in from all over the world.  The presentation of the layouts is pleasing too.  Other scrapbooking magazines tend to be too cluttered, but MEMORY MAKERS is hands down a quality product!  Living overseas we don't get our choice of magazines and I look forward to getting my MM every-other month!  It's the only magazine I ever read COVER TO COVER!


title: All credibility lost.

text: Putting the "Food Babe" on your cover kills any credibility you may have had. You're helping contribute to ignorance.


title: Five Stars

text: PERFECT


title: Five Stars

text: all o.k. ,but the one I checked


title: good writing but...

text: I have been a reader for 20 years, but am considering canceling my subscription (I did this once before when it became a Vanity Fair look-alike under Tina Brown).  I think the writing is exceptional.  My complaint is that the issues have become thinner (with an embarrassingly small "Double-Issue" mid-August).  The articles are shorter and edited to end at the bottom of a page, which sometimes breaks the article's flow.  It is full of advertising, which pays the bills, but now seems to have squeezed out some of the writing. The articles also do not seem as essential as they had in the past.  The political writing is great and the movie reviews by Lane and Denby are the best you will find.


title: Five Stars

text: Parents enjoy the articles.


title: The Best Magazine for Writers

text: I've been a freelance writer since 1996, and every month I look forward to reading the next issue of The Writer. It's a magazine that shows you how to write better, how to get published, and how to stay inspired. The interviews with top writers are great, and I love the reviews of books about writing. The hour or so I spend reading each issue is among the best time I ever spend. If you're a writer, you should subscribe immediately.


title: Five Stars

text: I've always enjoyed Natl. Geo. so I subscribed.


title: Three Stars

text: OK magazine


title: A Jamband Favorite

text: This is my favorite magazine. I don't have much time to go to concerts these days, but Relix keeps me tuned in with the Jamband music scene. They recently redesigned their magazine and I think that it appeals to a much larger audience now. They do everthing from camping equipment reviews to music reviews to in-depth articles on bands... anything that might relate to the live music scene. Still, they find time to devote to the Grateful Dead (The Dead, Other Ones, etc.), keeping the magazine true to its roots.


title: Compulsory reading for fans of the genres.

text: Ohhh, F&SF, whatever would we do without you? Don't you ever change!


title: Five Stars

text: perfect gift


title: Too Biased (Political Agenda)

text: I use to subscribe for years but no longer.  It's political agenda blinds it's ability to factually report many issues/topics.  They killed the Skeptic column because it tried to remain unbiased and conflicted with their false narrative.  Way too opiniated to provide view points you can rely on.  It's a shame.


title: Good price, but got old issues...

text: I ordered my subscription a month ago and today I just received not one but three magazines all at once.  One was last month's, one this month's and one for next month.  Why did I get sent expired magazines?  I had already seen last month's and this month's issues at the library. Did I get sent old issues cause they were about to be recycled?  Well I guess I<br />still have nine more left.


title: Nat Geo for Kids

text: Great magazine


title: ... can you say - it's National Geographic at a great price that makes it affordable

text: what can you say - it's National Geographic at a great price that makes it affordable.  THX!


title: Thumbs down

text: I'm wondering if the 5 star reviews are paid reviews. This is a useless magazine, not in anyway related to mechanics or its science. Advertisements on alternative pages.


title: Today's Vogue magazine is embarrassing garbage

text: How the mighty have fallen year after year after year... Pandering to trash, magazine degraded to offensively useless level. Cancelled subscription.


title: Good so far....

text: I received a coupon from Amazon.com for a year's subscription for $1.  I sure hope it is worth it.  I like it so far.


title: A great blessing to all of us who can no longer walk in the garden.

text: I’ve read this magazine over the last 15 years and really enjoyed the insightful articles and fantastic pictures. Due to medical reasons I’m unable to just go out and sit with my birds which I used to do for several hours. This magazine has become a great life line and put hope back in me that I will again one day enjoy my garden. Thank you for my secret garden


title: A good, positive magazine

text: Brio is a breath of fresh air amongst the current teen-oriented magazines. The articles are relevant and blunt when it comes to teaching young, Christian girls about how to live out their faith in a world doing everything against them. While not relying heavily on theology, editor Susie Shellenberger makes no mistakes in pointing out that living God's way is the only way to go. Reviews mentioning the inclusion of articles about make-up and boys should perhaps think about the fact that this is a magazine for teenage girls, and those are two things that teenage girls love. The magazine does not present them in a worldly, inappropriate way, but rather encourages the reader to take a Godly approach to both subjects. Brio is a great magazine for young, teenage girls who are ready to start making their faith their own.


title: I've Converted!

text: Atoosa is a genius. A freakin genius. She's made a teenybopper magazine into one that can now be considered a bible to teens. I love this woman! First, she revamped CosmoGirl to become one of my favorite magazines with insightful articles and real life subjects. Now, she's done the same for Seventeen..but better! The articles are indepth, insightful, no "OMG..He's SOO cute," and worth reading. There's hair tips that real girls can use. Makeup tips that aren't insane and won't make you look like a hobo. Cute clothes that people actually wear and look good! That people can actually find in a store! That was probably my biggest selling point. You won't find a $60 shirt being labeled a "neccessity" here. Most of the stuff is at your local mall and plainly stated so. The real-life articles are eyeopening. I cannot say enough good things about this magazine. It will take you literally 3 hours to read through it all and you will still go back and be surprised by things you've forgotten.


title: Not As Informative As It Looks

text: I've subscribed to Shape for the past year in hopes of finding some workouts I can do around the house and health tips. Sadly, most of their workouts need access to gym equipment, which is great for those who do but most don't. The articles also leave less to be desired. Most starting with "According to blah blah blah 78% of women have blah blah blah." I felt like I was reading a very thick survey/statistics overview as opposed to a health magazine. I've gotten more health information from a Seventeen magazine than Shape. If anything else, Shape is one big advertisement for the latest in exercise and beauty supplies. When my subscription ends, I will not miss it. If what you need is at-home-workouts, check out Fitness.


title: Beauty IS Only Skin Deep

text: CosmoGirl is ridden with messages such as the above and that's what seperates it from other teen fluff mags. There's actually more articles about self-acceptance and just have fun with your friends than how to properly apply lipstick! And, being that it's a teen mag., there's the boys and fashion that we all love. It just doesn't take up 2/3 of the dang thing. My favorite issue of it was the Dec./Jan. 2003 issue w/Katie Holmes. Those quotes just screams inspirational. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work"-Thomas Edison. (taken from the quotes). And there's more to it than showcasing stars and celebrities, it's about representing girls.


this is s[o weak]! i mean itz okay, if your like 7 but, they advertize it for 11-15 yr. olds and only goodytwoshoes' type grlz would agree. its [junk]. its for grlz who wish they were 10 years older. please don't buy this UNLESS ur imature or 7 yrs. old. but, stick to YM, teenvogue, etc. but dont waste ur time on this mag!


title: Lost its way.

text: Where have you gone?  I have been a faithful subscriber to NG for many,many years  but no longer. It seems the articles are anything but national or geographic. The "transgender" article was a new low and my tipping point. I cancelled my subscription straight away. Wise for them to go back to the orginial mission statement.


title: Good local magazine

text: Hour is all about detroit.  It isn't a thick magazine, and there are a lot of adds but what you get is high quality.  The writters know the area.  If your new to detroit, or have lived there all your life they will show you some things you probably havn't seen before.


title: I have subscribed for several years now.

text: There is ALWAYS something interesting in FT. I grant that it's a bit like World Weekly news with better writting and geared to a different audience, but the odd news stories (yeah, some of them aren't true sad to say) are worth the price alone. They heve a travel article and THE HIEROPHANT is incredibly good, there are book reviews and they aren't just saying it's all true, there was an excellent article about faking your own ghost photos and they do make attacks on the obviously misinformed. It's a fun read and I always look forward to my new issue. A few years back they had this article about a crop circle convention, on one hand the people wo say aliens made them on the other the group that say THEY made them.


title: It's alright.

text: Too many tasteless ads. I would happily pay more for an edition with less ads and more content. The fashion picks are great though.


title: never received it in the mail

I ordered this magazine 4 months ago, still have not received a copy.
just about to contact my credit card company to reverse charges.

title: Disappointing.

text:
I didn't have the old NG "World" magazine growing up, I just remember reading my parents' regular issues of NG.  What a great introduction to the world of science, exploration and curiosity.  This has none of that.  Some funny photos of animals, word scrambles, silly cartoons (dogs on a "military" mission to rescue a stuffed animal?).  My daughter wants me to read the Goldfish Crackers(tm) cartoon to her over and over, trying to understand the bad puns and slang they use to sell Goldfish Crackers(tm).  What in the world is this?

Now to be clear, I understand that magazines use advertising to keep the lights on.  But even if you stripped out all the ads, the content is nearly brain-dead.  Cute pictures of animals in costumes do not spark interest in the natural world.  Hidden picture hunts do not enrich the mind.  This is kindergarten stuff.  Kid's menu place-mat stuff.

edit; after running out the subscription, we found none of the issues had any value.  There was no depth to the articles, nothing educational hiding anywhere.  The ads and cartoons became progressively more inane.

However, we did find a wonderful magazine called "Ask" from the folks at Cricket.  The first issue sparked curiosity and questions around the dinner table.  The game in the back was a coin game that made you think about probability, and my child actually enjoyed it.  The games in Nat Geo Kids are things like 'spot the difference' pictures, and word scrambles.  Just unscrambling the word 'amphibian' doesn't make you curious about amphibians.


title: Love this mag.

text: Kool! My first issue came on April. Just like all subscriptions. Thanks for the help Amazon, I appreciate it. Thanks.


title: She's like Jenny McCarthy and vaccines

text: Oh please. The Food Babe? On the cover? Really? She's a fearmonger, and totally unqualified to discuss food or nutrition. She's like Jenny McCarthy and vaccines. I will never get this magazine again.


title: All (unaffordable) style with no substance

text: Expensive, beautiful but poser magazine for rich people or those who want look at what rich people buy. The articles waffle between featuring some meaningful content with vapid, contradictory fluff.


title: Disappointed

text: Disappointed! I used to really enjoy these magazines. They used to have so much great information.  Now it seems more consered with the look of the magazine rather than the substance. A couple things in the last issue really got  me - using soap to clean cast iorn (not salt or soaking) and "we'll skip the science" cooking and baking IS science!!! Those bit of information are important! I really want to love this magazine again but right now I really don't.


title: Donna Hay Magazine subscription

text: I have yet to receive my first issue and it has been over 2 months.


title: Sucks...don't waste your money.

text:
I have been a subscriber to this magazine since I was seventeen. Several years ago they got a new editor, and I began to see the seeds of what has become a disastrous change.
  What used to be a classy, engaging, user-friendly magazine about herbs and herbal living, has turned into a Martha Stewart Living wannabe, Add- oriented, waste of strain on the environment.
  I thought after a three year break maybe they would have gotten a new editor, or they would have realized that they were ruining a good thing. But I was wrong. I wish I could have my $19.95 back.Please don't waste your money, instead look for back issues( pre-2003). they will give you a taste of this magazine when it was actually worth something.


title: Rip off

text: Ever since they became monthly I have only got one issue.


title: useful

text: perhaps a bit more instruction and final pieces, less advertisement?  Still a good rag to peruse.


title: HOLA

text: I am addicted to this magazine.  I like their recipes, and reviews of fashions.  The photographs are wonderful.<br />The interviews perhaps a little fawning but the news on the royals always interesting.


title: Five Stars

text: Classic.


title: New January edition

text:
I don't get impressed often, but the new January edition did do it for me. The better paper quality makes reading easier and the cut back on advertising was very impressive. Honestly, if RD increased the 2 year subscription cost within reason, I would gladly pay it.

Keep up the good work RD, the new format looks great.


title: Great for kids

text: I bought this subscription as a gift.  It is a great magazine for kids-especially for nature loving kids. Great buy for the price!


title: Best!

text: This is the best magazine purchase I have ever made.  I bought it as a gift subscription for my guy a few years ago and have renewed it every year.
