title: An American Buddhist Review

text:
Tricyle is the oldest American Buddhist periodical, dating from 1991. It is published quarterly on high-quality, glossy paper.  According to the publication's website, the name "Tricyle" derives from the Three Treasures (or Triple Jems) of Buddhism: the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sanga.  The goal of the magazine, again according to its website is

"to create forums for exploring contemporary and historic Buddhist activity, examine the impact of its new context in the democratic tradtions of the West, and introduce fresh views and attainable methods for enlightened living to the culture at large. At the core of the Foundation's mission is the alleviation of suffering that Buddhist teachings are meant to bring about."

I have been a reader of Tricyle since the late 1990s and the publication has grown on me. The magazine makes a strong effort to live up to its mission and usually succeeds. American Buddhism remains nebulous and diverse.  Tricyle has articles which appeal to a variety of readers of different backgrounds, Buddhist interests, and levels of commitment. Many of the articles are specific to Buddhism in the West and to life in the United States.  Other articles explore the variety of traditional Buddhisms and schools, from Theravada to Mahayana, Zen, Tibetan, Pure Land, and more. I have found articles with insight into meditation and into Buddhist Scriptures.

There is a considerable topical focus to the magazine with articles on the environment, feminism, abortion, war and peace, American politics, social activism and much more. Political views tend to be on the left side of the American spectrum. This made me wary when I first began with Tricycle.  As I continued with the magazine, I became more attuned to the Buddhist discussions and less bothered by political views with which I sometimes disagreed.  I enjoy the book review section of the magazine and the frequent discussions among readers and contributors.  There is a good deal of advertising which some readers have found brings too much consumerism to the publication.  But bills need to be paid, and I find many of the advertisements helpful in learning about Buddhism and its resources in the United States.

Readers of the magazine will learn about the breadth and seriousness of American Buddhism.  They will probably also see that it remains very much a work in progress. The magazine is written on a high level, but it remains accessible to readers with spiritual interests who may not be scholars or intellectuals.  Tricycle of course will be of most interest to readers interested in Buddhism, but it also will appeal to readers with a non-sectarian interest  in the development of spiritual life in the United States. I continue to look forward to receiving my copy of the magazine every three months.

title: cover to cover

text: I really love this magazine.  I read it cover to cover.  I've read several magazines on various parts of the UK and many are very good, but I believe this is the one that I find myself reading completely.  Highly recommended.


title: Feel like a real bass player

text: There's nothing that makes me really feel like a bass player than letting the unread monthly copies of this magazine pile up on the table, alternating with the other magazines I take in.


title: Smart, quick read.

text:
I love popular science.  It is a quick and easy read for places where you don't need a long-read.  You can get caught up on the newest gear and electronics without fetishizing them in a consumeristic way.

Unfortunately, I would bet that if you looked at the circulation figures, half the title is wrong.


title: Well worth the investment in time and money

text:
Yes.

It is expensive.  No matter how you get it.  The best deal regularly offered is through the website.  If you're affiliated with an academic institution, you can get it for around seventy-seven dollars for a whole year.  This, as far as I understand, is for all levels and both sides of the dais.  I don't know how strict they are on checking up on that, but as far as I've seen, it is only offered through the website.

It is worth it.  They identify as a center-right 'newspaper' in England.  This makes it somewhat of a center-left paper in the States.  My own politics are further to the left than the editorial voice of The Economist, but for my money there is no better weekly news magazine.  I grew up stealing my father's Time and Newsweek magazines.  I liked them, but have over time shifted towards focusing on popular culture and towards a dumbed down-audience.  Perhaps my own expectations grew to be more curious about the world than what the actors on 'Friends' thought about their success.

The Economist meets those expectations.  They cover the world, in depth.  They're still something of an establishment voice, so if you want to reinforce your left or right radical leanings, you need to seek another publication to supplement your views.  I for one, keep the Monthly Review.  I tried to do it all in one publication, but I dropped the Nation because it was over-focused on the American Left, and I felt silo-ed.

The depth is the selling point.  There are several sections covering Africa, Latin America, the U. S., Britain, general economic news, science, and the arts.  Each of these sections contain several articles, with a section-closing editorial from the Economist's editorial teams.

The depth is the biggest drawback though.  There's so much there that if you want to read it cover-to-cover, it is a good investment of your time.  Overall, I think it is well worth the investment in time and money.


title: Editing Problems

text: I have subscribed for several years.  About half of the issues are useful.  The main problem, from my point of view, is the terrible job of editing.  Misspellings, grammar errors, typos, all tend to grate on one's nerves.  Surely someone should be doing a better job.  Right now, my sister and I each have a subscription so that we can call or email each other to point out the "boners" in each issue.


title: Wonderful magazine for preteen boys

text: Even though the preteen boys in my life aren't Scouts, I (and they!) were delighted by the content of Boys' Life. Their favorites -- the jokes!


title: always enjoyed the Readers Digest

text: Always have found interesting stories within the magazine.  I did find that the print is smaller though.


title: Great Contents ! Very informative ! LOVE ♥

text: I love the fact that they have little advertisements, great quality contents  for amazing price !thanks so much INC. :)


Dropped this magazine due to the light content and their running of socially PC adds.  I have been a subscriber off and on for probably the past 10-years.  As far as content, it's getting lighter and lighter with the same recycled articles over and over.  I just wasn't picking up anything new that couldn't just as easily be found online.  I appreciated the low subscription cost, but it came at the price of a very ad heavy magazine.  The last straw was their effort to be PC and running a full page ad of two guys snuggling on a couch together.  While I realize that lifestyle is out there, I just didn't care to have it delivered to my house in my home improvement magazine.


title: I didn't order these, they just started showing up

text: I have no idea how I got signed up for this magazine.  It goes into the compost bin along with two others, Men's Health and one other related one.  I have no interest in any of these and suspect that at one time or another I visited an auto order add or something such as.  No luck in getting them cancelled.  I'll see what happens when the subscriptions run out if they ever do.  Very bad business for the mags.  Needless to say, the 1-10-100 rule isn't kind for them.  :-(


title: Right Gift, Right Price, Right on Time!

text: Great product! I gave as a gift for Christmas to a loved one, and it arrived right on time. The articles are extensive and diverse in their presentation so persons that suffer from diet modifications can easily change up ingredients to suit their tastes!

title: Does a great job as a maxim wanna bee

text:
I like this magazine a great deal. I only got it because of certain stars that appear in it but this is why I order Maxim and previously Stuff and FHM (both out of circulation).

They have exceptionally fine taste in women.

Decent articles.

Highly recommended.


title: BE AWARE

text: CONSUMER REPORTS WILL CHARGE YOU FOR MAGAZINES YOU DIDN'T ORDER, IF YOU DON'T CANCEL SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW YOU HAVE.  WHEN I CALLED ABOUT IT, THE GIRL I SPOKE WITH (SAMATHA) WAS SO RUDE , MADE YOU FEEL LIKE WHY DON'T KNOW THAT,  I AM DISGUSTED WITH THIS COMPANY AND ADVISE TO BE AWARE.  YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE.


title: Great ideas!

text: Very good magazine - enjoy every issue.


title: Excellent, when I get it.

text: Only actually receive the magazine occasionally - others along the way must love this magazine as much as I do.


title: Terrific

text: Love the magazine.  So many interesting articles and great advice.


title: Five Stars

text: Great recipes, techniques.


title: Dependable and factual health information

text: It's nice to read useful articles about health issues without any attached sales pitches.


title: Fantastic!

text: This magazine makes history come alive. I immediately ordered a gift subscription and plan to order several more.


title: Great read!

text:
Oprah always has relevant articles and information.
Some prices for clothing are high. Not many readers pay hundreds of dollars for a dress or pair of shoes.
But, all in all, it's a great magazine.


title: Good Value

text: We have subscribed to this magazine for many years, first because it was published in adjoining town so all information regarding weekly nature events was extremely relevant, and now that it is more generally New England based, it still has articles of great interest, to both my husband and myself.


title: My favorite quilting magazine

text: I read this magazine from cover to cover. I have subscribed to many; Quilters Newsletter Digest is my all time favorite.


title: Wired Renewal Special Offer

text: My subscription was ending and I had planned to not renew.  I don't have time to read every issue and felt the subscription was a bit of a waste.  When I got the offer at that special price, I snapped it up.  I had to reconsider at that price and felt I could afford to subscribe, even if I missed some of the publication, at that price.


title: Very enjoyable read

text: Great articles every month.  I'm always learning something new whether its a technique, a product, or something to think about trying.


title: Great articles

text: Finally, a magazine with interesting and relevant articles! I find myself tearing out a lot of recipes to save for later.


title: Five Stars

text: Everyone in our family enjoys reading this - cover to cover!


title: Nice when it arrives

text: Great magazine e when it arrives. We've only received two all year.


title: Always great info and pics

text: I order this an other magazines through Amazon and it’s so much easier to keep track of subscriptions. No more getting dozens of renewal notices.


title: Excellent magazine, terrible quality paper

text: This is a very interesting magazine, as it always has been, but the paper it is now printed on is just awful. At the same time that I was reading the latest issue, I was also reading a magazine called Fine Books and Collections. When you compare the two, Alaska Magazine looks like a piece of junk. The colors in the photos are subdued. The texture of the paper just jumps out at you. I read that they chose this paper because it tears less in shipping. Reminds me of how "they" ruined the tomato by making it indestructible for shipping. I hope Alaska Magazine comes to their senses and uses paper like I saw in Fine Books and Collections magazine.


title: I just bought 3 years and the magazine suddenly closed ...

text: I just bought 3 years and the magazine suddenly closed production without warning and did NOT give a refund. They extended another magazine (which I had also just extended by 3 yrs) with this magazine's remaining issues. They also quit production on another magazine I subscribe to (and just resubscribed for 3 yeas as well) and did the same thing. I am sure I will be dead before I run out of issues of Bead and Button Magazine. I believe a subscriber should hav a choice of a refund or a different magazine.


title: Four Stars

text: good read


title: Always Great

text: I have been buying it for years.  Interesting stories with excellent photos.  I have never been disappointed.  If you order look at your address card.  It has a geography quiz on the back side.


title: It's ok just not what I was looking for

text: Every 2 months is no way to get a magazine for me probably won't order it again. While the projects are clear and would more than likely get you the info needed to complete it I was looking for the more simple ones like weekend projects. Just not my preference.<br />You would really need to try a subscription and decide individually.


title: DO NOT TRY BUYING DIGITAL VERSION from AMAZON!!!

text: Amazon is unable to deliver the digital part of the print + digital subscription I just paid for to my Fire tablet. Reading the reviews here, it's clear I am not the only would-be customer this has happened to. Do yourself a favor and deal directly with the magazine's subscription service instead of setting yourself up for the aggravation of trying to find a way to fix Amazon's digital content problems. I spent 40 minutes on the phone and another hour or more trying to troubleshoot  the problem. I am done. The magazine is good but Amazon's attempts to be all things to all people have fallen flat. I don't believe in rewarding incompetence so will give my money directly to the public instead.😠


title: Propaganda for the Military Industrial Complex

text: This magazine has devolved into a propaganda rag for the military industrial complex. No more do you see the ingenious machinations of entrepreneurs or the technological wonders that make life a little cooler for everyone. Seems like 90% of the pages are now filled with either death machines or spy systems or tripe about merging humans into robots ... Nothing that really enlightens or opens the imagination. Just an indignant adulation for militarism and immoral, invasive tech. I wonder how much of their funding comes from the government. Subscription not renewed. Over and out.


title: Outdoor Photography Magazine review

text: I received a subscription to this magazine on and off for about 8 years . Recently I let it lapse because the articles were rotated cyclically every year with no fresh info really added to them . More than a one year subscription seemed a waste to me . I always check newstands just in case I am "missing" anything and for the last 4 months I wished that I was a subscriber . The articles were on details of HDR for lifelike scenics and going professional and what made a difference . Also new photographers adding their unique perspective have been added to the writing staff giving the magazine new "blood" as well as more in depth articles actually teaching something instead of metaphysical mumbo jumbo . From what I can see , the magazine ( for whatever reason ) seems to have made a turn around for the better . I am subscribing in January ,with the hope that I will be inspired again like I was when Galen Rowell was contributing . From what the last four months have shown me , that might actually happen .


title: Just as advertised...birds and blooms

text: Great magazine..<br />purchased mostly for hummel info


title: Five Stars

text: My favorite vice is reading Traveler!


title: Subscription Never Started

text: My mom loves this magazine, so I ordered a subscription in October 2020. No issues have arrived to this day. I emailed in December to complain. Got a response about an updated subscription to reflect the new start date and was told the first issue would arrive by January 22. It's February 7, and still no magazines have been delivered. This was supposed to have been a Christmas gift and bring my mother joy in the midst of these crummy times. Hugely disappointed.


title: Look beneath the surface...

text: When I first looked at Crochet World magazine, it struck me as my grandmother's crochet magazine--dated patterns for products that no one under 90 would ever make.  But as time went on I found it to be the magazine I returned to over and over again.  Why?  Because it has patterns for items you actually use in your day-to-day life, because it has patterns for items that are quick and easy to make for gifts, and because it actually interacts with the readers, answering questions and offering advice.  And if a pattern looked too hokey at first glance, I invariably found myself coming back to it as a reference for something else--if there was no way that I would ever wear that scarf, for example, I would soon find myself needing to know how to do the stitch they used to make it.  The other magazines usually had items I found visually appealing but realized I would never bother to make, so what was the point?  I spend a fair amount of time going through each crochet magazine before I buy it, making sure that the patterns contained within have something I absolutely must have, and I don't always buy the same magazine--or even buy any magazine at all.  But Crochet World is the only crochet magazine I ever had a subscription to, and the one I keep going back to for patterns, stitches, and ideas.  I recommend that, if you're curious, you do a free trial to see what it's all about, and look it over with an eye toward whether it fits your individual needs.


title: Love It!

text: So much easier to read! Love It!


title: Great Ideas for Home Projects

text: This magazine has so many great ideas for DIY projects. I don't do a lot of them, but I enjoy seeing what others do.


title: Excellent information!

text: Since I became a CEO/CIO, I need every help I can get on how to run a publishing company. Also, as a writer running that business, the made me an authorpreneur. I look forward to my Entrepreneur magazine every month. Excellent information!


title: One Star

text: Would be nice had I received more than one issue!!


title: CLEAR DECLINE IN CONTENT

text: They are giving awards for ridiculous organizations now, the articles are declining in their value, slant is very left now.


title: More projects

text: Liked expected more also what’s price for single copy.


title: mixed feelings

text: Love the magazine however I had hoped for The New Yorker canvas bag,always advertised with a subscription.  I contacted The New Yorker who said Amazon should be sending these with the order.  So, where are the bags? Does this mean we should not use Amazon when ordering a magazine?


title: still waiting

text: Still waiting........not received it yet...why do magazines take so long to get on track in this day of computers.....it makes absolutely no sense....there are no acceptable excuses.


title: 20 minutes and you've read the whole thing

text: Haven't read a cat magazine in ages, but this is tiny compared to what I remember Cat Fancy being. The articles are all the great - short, not totally informative. As a cat lover, I enjoy the 20 minutes it takes to get through the whole issue, but that's about it.


title: ... about a week ago (bought in Dec) but looks like it's going to be a great deal

text: It just showed up about a week ago (bought in Dec) but looks like it's going to be a great deal

With the reasonable price, I order it for all of them.
They enjoy reading and looking at Redbook with their children.
One of them said that their two year old twins love all of the colors.


title: What's not to like...

title: Too many magazines at once plus previous editions

text: Magazine is great. Problem is I received four magazines in April that included February and March

text: Love this magazine great tips.


title: Love This Mag!

text: This is a great magazine. My daughter and I love reading the stories. I have found some new products that I love using from the ads too. Some of the websites listed in the articles have great videos that you can learn from. Also, there are funny videos too of horses big and small doing crazy stuff.


title: I re-subscribed to this after having done without for 10 ...

text: I re-subscribed to this after having done without for 10 years.  It has a lot more ads these days, but is still interesting.


Arizona is a classic that keeps on living.  The photos are often excellent and the writing is interesting.


title: Great Stories and articles

text: I am from southern Maine and love this magazine.  It has great stories  from all over the state and gives you a very nice view of how visiting or living in Maine can be.


title: Five Stars

text: I am a fan and have been for many years.


title: The view from Austin

text: if you've ever lived in Texas or loved Texas, this is a venerable monthly magazine that follows the goings on of the Lone Star State.  Much tourist information in the ads.  Good quality writing; based in Austin.


title: Some interesting recipes and information

text:
Years ago read a few back issues of Food and Wine and found them very interesting with some really good recipes. For the most part the recent editions have recipes I would never want to recreate as they were not the least bit appealing to me. I have a very varied diet so there isn't much I won't eat so that was surprising.

There were some very interesting articles and a few recipes I have saved to try but I did not like this magazine as much as some other food magazines I have come across. I have subscriptions to some wonderful baking magazines, with all types of bread recipes, cakes, pies, etc. I was looking for a magazine with recipes for every day dinners and was interested in suggestions for wines i might not already be familiar with but was ultimately disappointed so I declined to renew.


title: good info

text: they seem to have cutting edge info,, they sell products so that helps where to buy some of the nutrition they write about,,, or buy else where ,,but the info is some of the greatest research i've seen,,...


title: sent as a gift,,,,,

text: the grand niece can read it fine,,she likes it,,, i'm not there to see it,, only know she likes it,,,


title: great read, happy to find the subscriptions on Amazon

text:
I love The Economist.  Subscribe.

I have been reading this magazine for a decade and a devoted subscriber for about eight years.  The reporting gives a great balance that is not often captured by U.S. sources.  Of the magazines I have read, The Economist has seemed to offer the most in terms of details and breadth of stories.  I bore of seeing only pictures or reading articles that are empty of insightful commentaries.  The writing quality is great here.  I use it as a first source for keeping me updated about major international and science news stories.  We don't always get great coverage on this side of the pond in terms of international events and sentiment so I appreciate the magazine's frankness (even if I don't always agree with the opinions or endorsements).

My major qualm (and kudos to Amazon) is that the subscription service is run terribly.  The website needs an overall in its account section.  I have had problems multiple times with my subscription being put on hold because I was traveling and placed a stop on my mail or some other excuse.  My online account often gets disconnected from my print subscription (not quite sure how!).  I dread each time I have to call or email The Economist.  Although the online account info may not be solved I hope the subscription with Amazon will fix my print problems (and was quite ready to change since my subscription was coming up).  I don't understand how they used to change my address or say there was a problem with delivery and postpone delivery without contacting me.  I am more than willing to give Amazon the chance to manage my magazine service.  If it goes well, I'll keep using the auto-renewal.  Fingers crossed!

BTW, my subscription was renewed VERY quickly.  I have seen other reviewers complaining about the 4-6 week delay.  Admittedly, those reports made me uneasy but my first magazine came in less than 2 weeks!  Definitely acceptable!

text: w00t! I have a new science fiction magazine to follow! Thanks to "Food Babe" Vani Hari. Say "no" to pseudo science! (This is sarcasm if you can't tell)

title: Keep it coming!

text: Continued my subscription ...


title: Continuation of my subscription of several years

text: The best magazine ... Bits of art and history if one cannot visit the museums in person.


title: Do I need another magazine? Yes. I needed The Strand.

text: The Strand is thoughtfully put together and editorially interesting with a mix of both older and newer pieces. I particularly enjoyed a new short story by Kerry Greenwood as well as the interviews. One of the other things that grabbed my attention was the ads! Yes, I actually read the ads rather than flipping past them. The Strand's selection of upcoming titles has expanded my TBR list by about a dozen :)


title: Excellent magazine for people who have lots of money, several Italian sports cars and a country home

text:
Two things:  One, the magazine reviews middle and very high-end audio equipment.  The high-end equipment is not sold in your town, you need to go to a large city and a special store. You will be greeted by sales staff in tuxedos and gowns. The equipment in this area is usually the cost of a compact car.  It is of the finest manufacture, it sounds excellent.  The reviews are detailed, technical and aimed at a person deeply into music and recordings of music while being independently wealthy  If you are in this market, this is your magazine.

Two: What is true of ultra-hi-fidelity audio equipment and ultra-high definition video: the limitation is the human person listening and watching.  The human ear is capable of amazing ability to distinguish sounds and sound direction.  A good, undistorted and full-range sound system is capable of delivering sonic joy. Yet, even our marvelous ears cannot discern differences that require sophisticated electronic equipment to detect.  While much of the equipment reviewed might be within the budget of a serious audiophile, the top-end items, featuring silver wiring, solid gold plugs, esoteric cables, and 30 pound turntables made of polished stone provide talking points to one's guests at the cocktail parties, but dubious sonic benefit beyond a certain point.  Are they good - of course.  Are they amazingly unique and artistic - yes.  Are these pieces of fantastic audio equipment reviewed as being required for listening to really pure sound.

Some sonic improvements are palpable to the audience.  Several thousand dollars for a speaker is common. These actually provide an amazingly realistic and dynamic audio experience that cannot be duplicated easily at lower cost. Still, some may question the reality of improvement you get with a $3,000 audio cable.  Oh, do you want two?  $6,000 please.

Maybe $6000 could be the price for a really good home theatre system, including the many speakers, AV receiver/ amplifier.  For  a great system, $15,000 for a really kicking Home Theatre system is actually not a bad investment for some.  (It will serve you perhaps for 20 years) If you have a very large space and want rock concert volume (premature deafness!), add another $5,000.  Again, smaller spaces and budgets may find greatness in carefully designed systems.

Really good speakers will provide a wonderful experience, but it will still not be precisely the same as a live performance. It will simulate it well, but audio reproduction perfection is never achieved in a system where the placement of a microphone a few inchs off center during recording will impact the entire performance, but then, so will sitting off to the side in a concert hall.  Perfection is perhaps that you love listening to your audio system.

If you like reading about these items this will be a pleasure to peruse. some of them are at reasonable prices (yes, even if not reasonable to one's spouse).  However, if you are looking for reviews for excellent audio equipment that you, the average working human being, might be able to afford and will also provide sonic greatness, subscribe to Sound and Vision.  Both are published by the same company.  There you may still find some costly items, but they will be worth it in dynamic and accurate audio reproduction even without buying the Oxygen-Free-pure-crystal-copper-coated-with-silver-triple-shielded-gold-tipped speaker cables
  And yes, I fancy myself an audiophile, and I have my wife's exasperation with my sound system as a proof.


title: Great Healthy Recipes

text: Great magazine to give you that little push you may need to eat better!


title: They have some good articles  but the price !!

text: Bought it because I thought I'd like to see what kind of stories, articles they had.. but after comparing price to number of issues,  I cancelled.  I enjoyed some, others not so much. Now I just look for issues at book stands, if articles interest me, I buy, if not, I don't..


title: Magazine is great but the publisher is terrible

text:
My daughter loved the subscription, which I gave her as a gift.  BUT...

When we moved, no amount of phonecalls, emails, or other attempts to contact the publisher to change our address were ever sucessful, even now.  I first used the Popstar website, and thought that was done... when weeks later there was no magazine I called their phone and left a message with the address change... a week after that they called me back, and said they had no record of ANY change of address (!), but said they'd handle it... it's now two months later and we haven't seen an issue in three months, and there is no one to contact.

Very frustrating that half of my purchase is just down the toilet.


title: Highly recommended

text: Great magazine


title: Good

text: I order this magazine for my mother.  She is 99 years old, has taken it for several years, and still thinks it is a wonderful magazine.  She doesn't have internet access, so she still gets a few hard copy magazines and this one is by far her favorite.  I don't read it so I can't elaborate further than that.


title: delayed a month

text: Its birds & blooms, helpful.


title: Perfect for home recipes

text: Loved my 1st issue. Tried 5 recipes already and came out perfect!


title: Good recipes

text: Got this for my wife, she loves Food Network and trying new recipes. Easy to follow recipes and I have learned some new techniques along the way. Overall, I would subscribe again.


title: Great magazine for coin collectors.

text: I ordered this for a friend after her was unable to find it at news stands.  He is very happy with it and so far it has arrived for him on a regular schedule.


title: Info for fiber artists and sewing people

text: I don't even knit and I enjoy reading this magazine! The anthropological information is fascinating and so is the info about the animals that produce the fiber.


title: Five Stars

text: great thanks


title: Heavy Ads, Minimal Content for Service Businesses, Primary focus is Merchandise (Buy/Sell) business

text: Found magazine to be heavy on ads, minimal or no content for service businesses so don't recommend to lawyers, consultants, advisors or other professional service types. Lots of merchandise and b2c buy sell product or retail store businesses.


title: My wife loves it.

text: Great Mag full of information.


title: Magazine is Fine - Subscription service is not

text: I ordered a subscription on August 23, 2013. I received my first copy on October 29th. That's a long time to wait for the first copy. I do realize this magazine is not monthly but by-monthly. BUT the copy I received is the September/October issue. I received this on Oct. 29. The Nov/Dec issue is already on the stands and in the homes of my my friends who subscribe. And you all know that an issue for Sept/Oct was probably on newsstands in early August. I would never order a magazine subscription through Amazon again. I love Amazon, but this is one area where they are not the best source. Oh, and I better not be auto-renewed like another reviewer reported.


title: Five Stars

text: Loved the puzzles, can spend half the day finishing all the puzzles!


title: Mag has too many ads. Purchase was fine.

text: Good deal, but will not renew


title: Some information thrown in with the add's

text: I was not that impressed with this mag.  It seems like it more add for camping world than anything else.


title: Wired

text: Wired, a magazine I thought was about computers but is not as it covers some computer items. It also has some general reviews and well-written articles about accessories of the computer Intustry. Not what I was looking for, so will not renew.


title: Wired, its a magazine concerning all things wired.

text: Wired, is a magazine concerning all things wired. there is not much else to say, except that it is well written and informs you of that Industrial aspect of electronics


title: Time

text: Time magazine, the old favorable news which is more traditional than the bias Newsmax.


title: Popular Mechanics magazine

text: Popular Mechanics magazine


title: Five Stars

title: Paper magazine very portable

text: Interesting stories of real life events.  Various other information as well related to health & wellness.


title: 2 sets of my Grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed and learned immensely from the Highlights magazine!

text: Thoroughly enjoyed watching my Grandchildren receive these publications and the fun they had learning from them.


title: Love my EW

text: I look forward to getting my EW every Friday, always compelling and readable and most of all --- fun. Been a subscriber for 10 years


title: Sent me an old issue I received from my expired subscription

text:
Magazine subscriptions always seem to want to send you last month's issue when you start up.  This magazine is not cheap and I feel ripped-off.

title: Can not read it - literally - They use a tiny size 6 font everywhere to make room for more ads

text:
While they have occasional good articles, the science and technology details are low and not what I expected.

My biggest complaint is that I can not read the magazine - literally!  In order to make more room for more pages of glossy paid advertisemets they print their articles using the most tiny print font I have ever seen in any printed magazine.  My eyes are fine; I read many magazines and all others with no trouble.  They must be using a size 6 font or smaller!

title: my favourite mag used to be better but is still quite good

text:
Wired used to be a lot better than it is now. They seem to be more formulaic with their selection of articles these days whereas 5  or 7 years ago they where more organic and risky. there may have been a dud issue once in a while but their topics made me contemplate ideas and parts of society or technologies that I either didn't know to exist or wrongly thought that I wouldn't be interested in. Now they have some mandatory topic categories that they need to cover in every issue. They even have an obligatory crime/suspense article which while mildly interesting seems to have no place in wired. The media/entertainment section is tired. I skip it completely. I think Wired doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it for geeks or nerds? I serves both of us better than any other magazine out there, don't get me wrong, but I fear it is on a trajectory that will ultimately cause me to not renew one year.

If you are trying to decide wither or not to subscribe, just go to a bookstore and read a copy. If you like it, it is pretty much the same every issue. different content but same formula.


title: What To Buy, Why & How To Use It

text:
This is a magazine for someone who's interested in getting the most out of their home theatre dollar. Thinking of renting or buying a DVD? Here's a grid rating said material for video and audio quality - NOT CONTENT QUALITY. What brand of flatscreen to choose? Look for an article that compares brands and models in various sizes. How about WHAT KIND of flatscreen to buy - LCD, DLP or plasma? Get ready to find out which kind exactly in which application - well-lit room, room with some lighting control, dedicated home theatre space - will fit the bill perfectly.

Think of WS Review as a sort of cross between Consumer Reports and Home Theatre for Techies.

I spent over six years in the high end Home Theatre industry designing and selling systems that went into a wide variety of environments. Of all the industry magazines I read, WS Review consistently provided me with the knowledge I needed to make good recommendations to my clients based on what THEY were trying to achieve.

If you're thinking of switching from CRT over to some type of flatscreen or of upgrading your existing flatscreen TV, here's a little magazine that will make your money about 75-80% more efficient when you spend it. Four months of reading WS Review and you'll know more about what goes where and why than the average electronics store sales geek.

LCD vs. Plasma, average screenlife, frequency of repair, glare considerations, viewing distance/angle to the screen, etc. - all discussed in such a way that you KNOW what you should be getting and how it should perform when you get it home.

'Knowledge is power' and when the salesperson tries to sell you the wrong set based upon your situation you've just described to them and you catch them at it, THAT, my friends, is a good day in our new digital TV world where ignorance can cost you a lot of money you didn't need to spend.

Note: this is NOT a magazine that rates movies other than their technical qualilty. It deals primarily with the products those movies are displayed upon.

title: Not the same organization, has become "woke" and political, reviews not as useful as before

text:
I grew up on this magazine; it was around the house literally back in the 1970s when I was a kid. My parents read it and relied on it religiously, and for many years, until his death, my dad renewed subscriptions for all his kids. I kept it going for a few years after that, but finally got tired of the overly preachy tone of the editorial columns.

I bought the magazine for product tests and comparisons, not to be lectured about climate change or diversity or whatever is the latest cause du jour.

I came here because yesterday I got a solicitation "please come back!", so I thought I'd check what options Amzn offers. I also went on their website and sure enough, if you look in the About Us->Our People section, they boast about how they hired 50% "diversity" people last year.

Would that they put that much effort into product testing, which lately has seemed rather limited and not very useful. They often rate consumer gadgets highly on features -- the more, the better -- without really testing how well those gadgets hold up over time. I realize they lack the resources to test an air fryer daily for six months, but come on, folks, that's what you need to do.

The advantage of Amazon's reviews is that people post all kinds of experiences with their purchases, sometimes dating back years. I, myself, usually wait a few weeks or months before posting a review of something, so that I can write a meaningful and useful review rather than just another "I got this yesterday, it's great so far!!!" kind of fluff.

Also, CR's website is rather lame and only allows Facebook comments on articles, which leaves out anyone (me) who may have deleted their FB account and/or doesn't want to give FB their information.

CR's behind the times. Their lame attempts at pandering to a younger "woke" audience will not bring them back, I'm afraid.


title: Gone downhill

text: This publication has really gone downhill since it's original runs a few years ago. Mostly ads and fluff pieces now. It used to have useful article and projects. I will not be renewing this publication.


title: Husband really enjoys this magazine

text: My husband loves this magazine, and you can't beat the price!<br />Excellent value for a quality publication.  Will continue to renew.


title: Hat is good: I will wear it

text: Hat is good: I will wear it. Magazine?  It's good, I simply don't read magazines frequently and don't know why. I think this one supplies stories you don't regularly find elsewhere.


title: Great Magazine.  User Experience: not so much.

text:
I used to devour these cover to cover as a kid, but after 1 year of receiving them, I have about 6 that are actually unread - maybe because of time constraints so I discontinued the subscription.

Unfortunately I keep getting Spammed to rejoin - not great for the user experience.


title: Great magazine - user experience not so much.


title: Way to go EW

text: I have loved EW for many years, mostly because of the bullseye article at the end of every issue.  Great writing and content.  I like that it's a smaller weekly magazine so I can fit it in at random times throughout the week.  I don't feel like I am reading a novel to get to the good stuff.


title: good info

text: For the advanced hobbits this is a great resource.  If you are just beginning you will learn quickly as each issue has a lot of current information.


title: good information

text: this magazine has consistently given strong unbiased information that you can rely on without question.  should be a staple in everyone's magazine rack


title: carz

text: hubster loves this magazine and has been receiving it for the last twenty plus years.  a necessary read in our house


title: My wife loves it.

text: Bought as a gift for my wife and she loves it.


title: Five Stars

text: Enjoyable as always!  Thank you!!!!


title: Wonderful Magazine, Shipping was Very Slow

text: It took an awful long time before the first issue arrived (3 months!), not sure what happened there. However, once it arrived I'm very happy with this. Has morning/evening prayers, mass for each day and is peppered throughout with meditations, snippets on saints, just a wonderful daily devotional/missal. It is a small format, but really solid glossy cover, tough pages and good print. Feels good in the hand. Definitely small enough to pocket for daily mass.I took away a star because of the shipping issues; I hope they fix that. But I think I'll be reading these for a long time to come.


title: Best of both worlds, for the best price.

text: It's actually cheaper to get the magazine AND digital access. If you have an iPad, it's a no-brainer. You can read the magazine anywhere, download it in advance, share articles with others right from the app, etc. Sometimes, it's nice to hold the print edition, though. I grew up with Wired, and I still have a few of the earliest copies at my house. It has always had a great style and design, and it's nice to just flip through it, sometimes. My son loved the hat and immediately took off with it, when I got it. Win-win-win.


title: The best way to keep Wired handy

text: I love Wired, and I've read it pretty consistently for more than 20 years, but frankly, when I'm busy, they sit in the stack of mail for quite a while. I always have my iPad mini with me, though. This is really the way to go, because you can share stories and items right from the app. As a teacher and doctoral candidate, nothing is handier than being able to post, send, or save copies of articles. You're not going to do that from the printed magazine!

title: Save your $ and find a real women's magazine... This is not it.

text: I thought this would be about.... Women's health... Hah! It's more like how childish can we be using acronyms for EVERYTHING!!! Seriously, this is a PRINT magazine and it reads like a bad text from someone trying too hard to fit in...WTH! Ha! SMH...sigh.... But the agony doesn't end there....oh, no, no, no, on the contrary.... This is basically an entire reel-you-in thinking it's something which turns out is untrue.... Do you like reading lots of ads... More ads than topic?  Do you like being bamboozled into thinking you're reading and article only to get halfway through the first paragraph and see it's just... Wait for it... ANOTHER ad....? (Albeit, an ad better written than the actual articles of the magazine) Then, you've come to the right place..... However, if you want a magazine that delivers what its title implies... Keep looking! This it's ridiculously difficult to get through with all of the unneeded text slang; just say it, why are you TOL, OMG, FYI, OTT, IRL, WH, ITZ...... is this some bizarre new thing in technology where money is saved because you type three letters instead of entire words? It makes it truly challenging to get through something when every fifth word is not a word, but in actuality text slang!!!! GOYS...GBTS...and LEARN how to actually write something worth reading!

Tired of Republicans and Democrats? Dislike excessive government?

Most Americans fall into both of the above categories.

I guarantee you won't agree with everything you read in Reason, but if you approve of less government in your bedroom, in your bag of weed if that's your thing, or regulating your business, this is worth a read.

If you are an entrepreneur or small business owner and tired of regulations and government posing a barrier to entry than is higher than your capital start up costs, read Reason.

And even if you don't agree with most of what you read within the paper or digital pages, if you believe government must first prove they have some real, compelling interest to get involved in any political issue, Reason will help you find your anchor.


title: By far the best tech mag in the universe

text:
Yea, sometimes Wired gets it wrong. Go back four years and some of their "100%" prediction fail to come to pass.

And, I am old school. I like the touch and feel of a real magazine. And Wired is cool for those who prefer that. But the digital edition for Kindle is exactly what a digital magazine should be.

Animated or video ads, they actually keep my attention. Video segments as an added element to articles? Far better on the digital edition.

Either way, Wired and Fast Company are two magazines you need to subscribe to; dead tree or digital-if you want to keep up.

Take it from a guy who spent three decades in banking, reading the WSJ and Business Week. They can't touch Wired and Fast Company.


title: Well written

text: I lean conservative/libertarian, but The American Prospect is a great read to get the progressive/left perspective. As a libertarian, I find much with which to agree, especially on social issues. The magazine is not overtly pro-Democrat in the same way many conservative magazines seem to fawn over the GOP. I teach government and economics at the community college level and usually assign one or two articles a semester from the magazine.


title: pretty good

text: My father in law thought this was an okay magazine. He's an expert rock hound and I think it was just a little elementary for him to get excited about.


title: One of my Favorite Magazines

text:
I began subscribing to Sunset magazine about three years ago, even though at the time I lived in Florida, not in Colorado, as I do now. What keeps me subscribing to Sunset, when I usually let magazine subscriptions lapse after one year, is the beautiful photos, the insights into places I'd like to visit, and the really usable recipes. Every month I look forward to reading through the recipes and picking a few to try. They invariably emphasize healthy ingredients, ease of preparation, and great taste....without a lot of fancy ingredients that would price the recipe out of a normal household grocery budget. I'm going to be lifetime subscriber to this magazine, it's a keeper!

text: Pretty much all advertisements. Glad I only have this for a year.


I gave the Sports Illustrated Kids subscription to my great grandson. He loves sports. His parents tell me he loves the magazine.<br />What more can I say.


title: Best gun magazine on the market.

text: I've been a long time buyer of individual copies of G&A, but it's been great and affordable subscribing to it. I find the articles informative and interesting for the most part. Based on reviews in this magazine, I have made educated purchases of both new and older firearms. Good all around gun mag for the collector, buyer and seller, and general firearm enthusiast.


title: Rating should be "SHE loves it"

text: Bought for my wife who is a TV fanatic.  Personally I don't watch TV except for local news & I think the magazine's tabloid style is ridiculous.


title: Love this magazine

text: Got my first 2 issues.  Love recipes.  Want to try all of them.


title: James's new Magazine

title: disappointed

text: I have to say I was disappointed. Most of the sweepstakes included in this newsletter were already readily available online, and any experienced sweepstaker would have already found them and entered them online by the time this monthly newsletter arrived. I guess I was expecting 'mail-in-entry-only' sweepstakes in hopes of lessening the competition, thus increasing my odds of winning. This newsletter didn't do that. Bottom line, why waste a stamp and the cost of a newsletter when you can enter online for free?

title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine to read about new cars.


title: Not just for twenty-something year olds.

text: My wife loves this magazine. She's older than the audience it is intended for, but it's really funny (sometimes she'll read Confessions to me) and sometimes she learns something. Even I have picked it up a few times and have read the funny parts. Inexpensive and fun.


title: One of the best magazines

text: Good tips, fun stories, poignant articles.  Very good source for cat care.


title: Be aware of auto renew

text: Love the magazine but watch out for really expensive auto renew.


title: Outdoor photography well worth the read

text: I find this so interesting and well worth the purchase.  It has interesting articles and tips which make it helpful for any level.


title: I love the magazine

text: I love the magazine, the articles and all. The print is difficult to read, the digital edition is impossible to read. The print edition has a strong fragrance included in it's ads, too strong! I had to cancel. If I could enlarge the print on the digital copy, that would be great!

title: By second issue, already started hounding to renew

text:
My first disappointment was that it is no longer a glossy paper magazine.  Pictures are still good, but it's not the same.  The rest of the magazine was as expected w/ articles and pictures.

However, just got my second issue -- and the hounding for renewal has begun.  Will not renew for this one reason alone.

Too bad.


title: Always Good (aka Useful) Articles

text: We subscribed to Family Handyman from its beginning - the reason we quit subscribing was we were getting millions of magazines from subscriptions and decided to stop them all.  It's now time to restart this subscription.  The articles have down-to-earth ideas and instructions that "normal" people can use!  Other magazines have projects that cost $25,000 to remodel a closet or have a contractor install a $10,000 bathtub - way overpriced for most people!  While there may be issues that don't have articles you're interested in, all the articles are reality based and extremely useful - I still have articles I took out of the previous subscriptions (I hit the jackpot at a yardsale last summer and purchased around 3 dozen of these for $3 - the guy said he just couldn't bring himself to throw them away!)!

title: Review of "Fish Alaska"

text: A must read for any angler or person traveling to Alaska. It will list places to go and tackle to included. It will also answer some questions that travelers may have not considered. The magazine is published in Alaska and having been to Alaska this past Summer. It really helped me to pick and choose where to fish.


title: It's the only game in town

text:
While I don't always agree with their analysis, or their conclusions, MCN is the only "non-biased" (ie - not advertiser funded) game in town for reviews of motorcycle equipment and motorcycles. Some of their regular columns on health, motorcycle psychology, motorcycle design seem sometimes to be primarily space fillers, but in a few instances have had some nuggets of knowledge.

Worth getting - probably for the serious motorcyclist. The I-5/Amazon price is better than any from the publisher, so jump on this offer if you're a subscriber.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good


title: Not my cup of tea.

title: Self Magazine.

text: Great articles on women's health issues.  Very up-to-date and helpful information.  Easy to follow workout programs.  Great tips on make-up and fashion.  I actually read every magazine from cover-to-cover.  I really like the low-fat recipes they have.  Every edition of this magazine seems to have an exercise program which is very helpful.  Most of the exercises are simple and easy to learn.  I have tried several of them (i.e. upper body and abs) and have seen results in a just a few weeks.  This magazine is exactly what I've been looking for.

title: Love this magazine

text: I would recommend this magazine to anyone. It has a lot of good information in it. I have used some of the ideas and recipes. Also like the web site they offer.


title: Reader's Digest – great magazine, great price

text: We love this wholesome and interesting family magazine and have been reading it for many years now. The magazine comes to us 10 times during the year with inspiring stores on many subjects.  It also has articles with advice on different subjects like health.  The articles are always refreshing and interesting.  My husband likes the joke section. The subscription is well worth the small amount of money you pay for it. I would recommend this magazine to young and older adults.


title: Lots of value with product.

text: Like


title: Cheaply done

text: The photos were like reading old newspapers. Just black and white. I know there are colored photos out there. It seems to be cheaply done. It does bring back great memories.


title: Great magizine

text: I haven’t had a subscription to Readers Digest for about 20 years. I decided to get it another one and it’s the same great magazine that it was 20 years ago. It has so many interesting stories and cute articles. I think I’ll keep it going for another 20 years...if magazines last that long.


title: Comes wrapped in plastic every month

text: I don’t appreciate that  every issue of this magazine  comes wrapped in plastic. I won’t re-order for that reason


title: Five Stars

text: Nice easy recipes.


title: Journey

text: Professionally done.  Articles are well-written, easy for me ( a novice ) to understand, factual, and interesting.  I originally got this for my husband who  has an interest in coins, but we have both really used this as a springboard for discussions and some local field trips to shows and dealers to delve into the history.


title: Ads Gone Crazy

text: Way too many ads.  Made it difficult to find articles.  Super heady cologne ads for men's fragrances stayed on hands and clothes.  Found one good article.

text: Love this magazine! Even if I don't do a project, I love to read about how it is done.


title: This magazine is wonderful!!

text: The magazine has the perfect blend of quilting needlework and great projects and really appeals to what I enjoy doing. I almost dropped my shorts when I saw the cost of this subscription!!

title: Best subsciption price anywhere

text: I bought this magazine subscription for my wife and after comparing prices I found that Amazon had a better subsciption price than anywhere else. My wife got a special discounted renewal price from the publisher but Amazon was still better! I don't know how it's possible but maybe this magazine gives a good payout to Amazon because of the huge audience available.

title: Probably the best of the mainstream US car mags

text:
I've subscribed to C&D reasonably consistently for about 10 years.  I've periodically let my subscription expire for a few months at a time (mainly because I'm too lazy to renew) and have periodically subscribed to (or picked up at the mewstand) other US car magazines like Road & Track, Motortrend, Autoweek, etc., but keep finding myself coming back to C&D.  C&D is clearly superior to those I just mentioned, in my opinion.

There are, however, a few magazines out there - like the UK's EVO and CAR, that may be better than C&D from some points of view (better photography, great reviews of a lot of exclusive sports cars I'll never get my hands on), but those publications are very pricey and they don't have as much information on mainstream cars you can buy in the US.

What I like:  Good all around magazine.  The road tests and comparison tests are generally very good, and reviews are generally chock full of tables of data (acceleration times, pricing, etc.).  It's reasonably well written and, generally speaking, when you read a review you get a sense that the editor/reviewer knows what he's talking about (this isn't the case for some of C&D's competitors, unfortunately).

What I don't like so much:  The comparison test results aren't always, ahem, all that unbiased (or at least they sometimes don't come across that way).  Also, C&D is a car magazine - too many pages are spent on booooring SUVs and Crossovers.  One other negative is that C&D just recently (a few months ago) changed their format somewhat - I liked the old format much better and there really was no reason to change, but this is just a minor gripe.

I give C&D 4 stars.  Right now I subscribe to C&D and EVO, and I think that's a great combo - EVO for the great photography and articles about high end sports cars, while C&D provides good general information about more mainstream cars you can buy in the states.  I doubt I'll ever not have a C&D subscription for any length of time.

I just received my first issue of EVO about a week ago, and I'm impressed.  It does, in my opinion, live up to all the hype.  The writing and photography are excellent.  It's also jam packed with material, as opposed to many US car magazines that are jam packed with advertisements.  The quality of the paper it's printed on is also very high, which I suspect is part of the reason for the high price.

As a US reader, one of the only downsides is that I like to see the US$ base and as tested prices of the cars reviewed for a buyer in the US - obviously I can't hold the lack of this information against EVO as it's a UK magazine (pricing information, obviously, is in pounds, but you can't simply convert pounds to US$ because cars are MUCH more expensive over there).  One other drawback is that it doesn't provide a comprehensive table of data for most reviewed cars, as does Car and Driver.  I'll keep my subscription of C&D to provide the 2 pieces of information mentioned in this paragraph, but as far as reading the articles/reviews EVO is a superior publication.

One big positive of EVO (and I say this with limited experience as I've only received one issue), but it is focused exclusively on cars an enthusiast would be interested in.  That means you don't have to sift through page after page filled with boring reviews/photos of the Ford 500 and Toyota Camry in order to find one review of a car you're actually interested in reading about.  You also get to read about a number of great cars that can't be purchased in the US, which is both interesting or frustrating.  It truly is an enthusiast magazine in this regard.

Based on content alone I'd probably give EVO 5 stars, but I feel like I need to ding them a star simply because of the astronomical price.  I got my subscription as a gift, but I WOULD pay the $160+ price myself if I had to, albeit reluctantly.

It did take awhile for me to start receiving the subscription, which was purchased on Amazon in mid-December and I didn't receive the first issue until mid-February.  This is just a minor gripe, though, and I didn't deduct a star for it or anything.

In all, if you're into cars, I'd rate EVO Magazine as highly recommended if you can swallow the price.


title: Great reading

text: The articles are right on and informative unlike many that are just lead ins with no real content. When a topis is offered there are many helpful suggestions or "practice points".  Down to earth for everyone!


title: Great for kids who love to read!

text: A subscription to "National Geographic Kids" has proven to be a fantastic gift for my grandson who loves to read and learn 24-7.  It's both interesting and fun.  Well done, National Geographic!


title: Only got two issues!!!

text: Loved the magazine- but only got TWO issues delivered!


title: Don't plan on a fulll year : (

text: I subscribed last May for 12 issues.  When the November issue was about to arrive, they notified you that it was going to count as 2 issues because it had just over 40 more pages. Does that equal a whole magazine? It still did not have as many pages as Real Simple or Better Homes & Garden! I paid for 12 issues, not 11 1/4...I am NOT happy.<br />Every other page is an ad and most of the recipes are some form of pasta. Enough already! Needless to say, I will not be renewing.


title: Woman's Day

text: I have always bought this magazine. I remember when it cost 15 cents at the supermarket!  I still buy it but now I have a subscription.


title: Reader's Digest

text: I love this magazine and have been reading it for years. It is small enough to take along in my purse when I have any appts. so I can read it while waiting. The stories are short enough so I can get through them quickly and the content is always excellent and full of great information. I have given this as a gift to several of my friends and they also love it.


title: Torn Heart

text:
As a published writer, I would highly recommend that anyone who is remotely serious about writing, subscribe to this magazine. This magazine teaches you to create writing; others merely teach it. The most important and wonderful feature about writer's digest is that the magazine stresses the importance of discipline in a writer's work.
So why only three stars? Reader's Digest is heavily overpopulated with contests in which you must pay to enter.
What kind of aspiring writer, in their right minds,are going to
pay to enter a contest? Don't ever pay to enter a contest...there are too many free ones to enter.

My second gripe is that WD is a baby step away from being called a catalog. It is chock full of useless advertisements for WD's writing products and book clubs, and the ads in the back are for suckers.
You take the good with the bad, though.  It's not a horrible magazine, and I have found some useful pointers along the way of my subscription.


If only I could give this publisher zero stars...  I cancelled the subscription.  I made the mistake of entering CL's monthly contest.  CL billed me for another year subscription then sent me a "complimentary" copy of Good Housekeeping.  I returned the enclosed form after marking the No Thank You box and Hearst Publications billed me for a year of GH.  Agh!  I cancelled both CL subscriptions and the GH subscription.  It's too bad.  I enjoyed having a digital subscription to CL for  several years prior to this quagmire.


title: Terrible format

text: I got the magazine so I'd know when the Fall shows would start and a bit about them so I'd know it they were worth DVR'ing.  The format for TV Guide is absolutely terrible.  I used to get WOW cable (before they raised the prices out of my range) and their guide was much much better previewing shows, both dates and description.


title: Five Stars

text: Very informative


title: Great

text: Great magazine for people that already know how to cook and don't need basic instructions -- not for the novice!


title: wonderful journal

text:
Can't say enough good about this magazine.
Insightful, helpful, great writing, good photographs and explanations.
Impressed with the variety of writers.


title: Not worth it

text: My grandson did not like it at all it was maybe 20 pages very cheaply made and came almost four months after I ordered it.  Seems all the magazines I have ordered from amazon are like this.


title: i can use

text: very good


title: The price was very good

text: I like the magazine. That’s why I purchased it at your special price


title: Good Reading

text: I don't even ride western, but this magazine I read cover to cover.  Lots of good articles on horsemanship that apply to any horse and rider; interesting stories on individuals, both equine and human; humor, art, and photography.  There's something worthwhile on every page.


title: Best Home Decorating Magazines Ever!

text: I  look forward to getting this each month and seeing what new ideas they have to feed my obsession.


title: Great Christmas gift.

text: I bought this for my 7 year old niece.  She enjoys the magazine and loves getting her own mail.


title: Great Christmas gift.

text: I bought this for my 5 year old neice.  She enjoys the magazine and loves getting her own mail.


title: Excellent magazine

text: I have been a subscriber for many years and I enjoy the articles very much.


title: Would not renew

text: Nothing like the older publications of Southern Living


title: Always wanted this mag

text: As expected


title: which is great for the kids

text: The Highlights Hello book is made from a material thicker and less porous than paper, which is great for the kids. I read to the little one, and when she grabs the book with food or saliva soiled hands, the book is easy to wipe and remains intact.


title: they are perfect. The kids love to read the stories and ...

text: It's a Highlights magazine, they are perfect. The kids love to read the stories and solve the puzzles. This is something I consider an investment, and I am happy I made it.


title: Two Stars

text: cancelled it because it doesn't have articles I can use.


title: Readers Digest

text: Not the quality of magazine it was years ago.


title: Impossible to cancel

text: This was great but my grandson has outgrown it and there is no place to cancel the subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: Love it.


title: You're missing the point!

text: I think the previous reviewers who've criticized this magazine for the advertisements and the encouragement "just to buy stuff" have missed the point.  It's not about rampant consumerism, but rather about intelligent consumerism.  Do you have several cupboards full of cleaning supplies?  Real Simple will show you how to pare that down to a handful of supplies that really work, and will show how their experts rated the different products.  Do you have a closetful of clothes that don't quite work for you?  Again Real Simple will show you how to winnow your wardrobe down to choice, quality items that will serve you well for years.  Quality over quantity.  And, the emphasis on quality doesn't only refer to your possessions, but to your time as well.  Learn to iron a shirt properly in just minutes.  Read about other women who have simplified their lives.  Hear other reader's responses to questions like "What was the nicest thing someone else ever did for you?" or "What previously important obligations have you eliminated from your schedule, and how did you do it?"  Give this beautifully laid out, and thoughtfully produced magazine a chance!


title: never disappoints

text: National Geographic consistently provides great in depth articles. The photographs are amazing. I've had the magazine in our house since i was a child. I always look forward to the next one.


title: Great seller

text: Wonderful!


title: Five Stars

text: The special was wonderful! Thank you for your prompt attention


title: Well worth the time!!!

text: Enjoy following entertainers. Amazon price was fantastic. First time ordering via Amazon and will do it again!


title: Five Stars

text: Love Sunset magazine!


title: Unsatisfied

text: Wife has not been happy with delivery. We received the issue that featured Hallmark (late) and then nothing until today's double issue.


title: LOVE THIS MAGAZINE

text: Great magazine. Most of the articles are about technical and medical issues. I would say if your looking for fluff pieces this isn't for you. I have learned a lot about Equine health because of this magazine.


This mag is for the very wealthy, so there's not much for the rest of us to enjoy...unless you like dreaming of where you would go if you had lots of cash.


title: Beautiful Magazine

text: CityDog Magazine is such a beautiful publication! Everything about it is high quality--the articles, photos, product recommendations, lists of fun events that bring dog lovers and their pooches together, and even the paper on which the magazine is printed. It's always a treat when an issue shows up in the mail!


title: Dolphin Digest

text: Great Dolphin information.  Purchased this for my son.  He is an avid football fan.  Loves the Dolphin Digest.


title: Saveur Magazine

text: This is a great foodie magazine. We think the writing is what makes it great. It is always interesting, has some recipes to try and is not the usual food mag stuff. Very enjoyable.


title: Love, love it.

text: I can't wait until the first of every month to receive my new magazine, love everything about it. I can't figure out why HGTV television has changed their programming - really bugs me there are so few decorating shows - too many major renovations for my taste but love the magazine with so many ideas.


title: Go ahead, order it..

text: Gave up on getting magazines long ago. Picked up a NG in the barber shop and was amazed what I learned and how well it is presented. Almost missed my turn. Didn't want to put it down.  There's a reason this is the #1magazine. I ordered it and am glad I did. I look forward to each new copy.


title: Good children's activity.

text: Kids love it!


title: Read all information before deciding to subscribe to magazine specials.

text: The magazine was purchased at a great price. However the subscription was renewed without my knowledge at almost 3 times the price. I do not want this subscription again.


title: Happy Me

text: I really Love this magazine, in both print & Kindle formats!  It has been so helpful with ideas I never thought of for searching for your family tree.  Each magazine has some really interesting articles that spark your interest and give you a few 'hmmm, I gotta try that...'.  Some of the sites they give have produced new information for my tree.  On my searches I used to be 'absolute' with a name or place and read that sometimes less is more, information wise  Glad I saw this and got it!!!!

title: Big hit

text: Grandson Christmas gift... he loved it


title: The BEST Magazine EVER!!

text: I've ALWAYS liked Handyman magazine. Now it 's so cheap that I buy it every year. It is so helpful for anything & everything you're doing to your home. I will NEVER get tired of this magazine!<br />One thing I've noticed about this magazine, is that people who aren't "into" home improvement (my sister-in-law, mother-in-law, etc.) still find this magazine very interesting. So it would be a good gift for anybody. Especially at the low price they've been selling subscriptions for lately.


title: Great magazine

text: This is one of the best magazines I've read! I've got my brother and some friends reading it as well!


As always, still a great magazine. Only one problem, it is hard to find enough time to read all articles because they are all relevant.


title: Four Stars

text: Some article I don't like...


title: CosmoGIRL!

text: Purchased as a gift.


Glad to have this delivered to my doorstep. Great features and opportunities to meet other writers.


Love it.  But not renewing because the price skyrockets.  Can renew cheaper through other vendors.


title: ... not seeing it for years and this was a great price.

text: I was curious about this magazine after not seeing it for years and this was a great price.


title: love it

text:

title: Watch the auto-renew...pretty slick...sleezy?

text:
You'll receive a notice an auto-renew notice 9-months in advance of your subscription expiration, advising of credit card debit.  Of course the auto-renew $$$ is 50% greater than your current subscription, and what you can get elsewhere.

Specifically: "To change your address or credit card for this auto-renewal order, or to cancel your subscription, please update your preferences for this order in your Subscription Manager."....now I know the only option for cancel is SUBSCRIPTION, not AUTO-RENEWAL.  Read the quoted statement carefully.

So naturally you proceed to cancel the auto-renew through Amazon's subscription manager.  Surprise.....they (Amazon/Future) also cancel the remainder of the current subscription...9-months worth.

You now have to coordinate the expiration of the Amazon subscription, with the startup of your new subscription provider, if you don't want to overlap issues.


title: This and Recoil = nervana

title: I didn’t receive my whole subscription!

text: The comic books were great when I received them. They were very sporadic and I never knew when to expect them.  I only got 12 issues then the subscription got “stuck” and Amazon had to cancel it and refund my money.


title: Love it!

text: If you like Star Trek this is your book.


title: Loved them as a kid myself

text: For my grandsons


title: Best resource for creating a fit and healthy lifestyle

text:
As a fitness professional and healthy lifestyle coach, I continue to be impressed by the quality, depth and perspective of Experience Life magazine.  The focus isn't just on how to get fit,lose weight and look better, which is refreshing.  It is on how to have a healthier mindset and a healthier body.  They offer practical ideas for being active (not just doing workouts), getting outdoors, eating healthier without dieting, overcoming the challenges to staying motivated, and addressing the underlying beliefs and emotions that get in the way of success.

Becoming fit and healthy is less about following a prescribed set of guidelines and more about understanding what jazzes and motivates you and what holds you back, and Experience Life gets this.  They do an excellent job of looking at all facets of wellbeing, which in turn creates a broader and more thoughtful perspective of what it means to live a happy and healthy lifestyle.  I highly recommend this magazine if you want to feel your best.


title: art magazine review

text: [[ASIN:B00005NIOZ The Artist's Magazine]]<br />I was expecting more from this magazine but it gives a good general view of different art work and views for different tastes in art.


Country Sampler has been one of my favorite magazines for years !!!  It was easy to order from Amazon !!!


title: Four Stars

text: Good Reading.


title: Popular magazine!

text: Send each year for 2-5 year old grands. They enjoy magazine, plus they enjoy getting their own mail.


title: Great Magazine

text: This magazine has a little bit of everything and interesting tidbits on a variety of subjects. I leave it in the car and whenever I have to wait, I read a little more. I would recommend.


title: Love this magazine

text: If you are looking for in-depth articles, this magazine is not for you BUT it is full of wonderful ideas and photos to give your home a bit of color. I would recommend.

title: Great

text: Great


title: Five Stars

text: Good magazine


title: Five Stars

text: Love this magazine.


title: Not what I was expecting

text: Probably my fault for not researching further and realized this was a magazine geared towards the gay community.  There were a few interesting tidbits I pulled out, but otherwise it was very heavily geared towards that demographic.


title: Not worth it

text: Disappointed. Subscribed to this magazine many years ago and really enjoyed all the articles and recipes. Now nothing but advertisements.


title: Charged $10 and i had already canceled

text: Canceled but still got charged $10


title: Dont like

text: Got 1 magazine. Was cheap and thin. Not much in it.


title: Gift cards????

title: Good Read

text: Some people like looking at car magazine while I enjoy looking at Gun and misc weaponry magazines. This is another read I am glad I added to my subscriptions.


title: An existential necessity

text: Frankly, we can't get along without our TV Guide!  Not that I necessarily buy into their reviews and previews ... but I appreciate having an idea of a newcomer's storyline so that I can decide whether I want to invest an hour or two testing the waters or to avoid wasting even one second.  Also, I check off my DVR list on the upcoming schedule to make sure I don't miss something and completely screw up my binge-watching some fav.


title: Magazine

text: Gift for adult female.  She enjoys magazine.


title: Corvette Magazine

text: Good magazine, but would prefer more articles about OEM restorations and less about modified cars.


title: Collectible Automobile Magazine

text: Outstanding magazine


title: Glad I only paid $5

text: Cheap imitation of what the magazine once was.  Glad I only paid $5.00 for one (only) year.


title: Good Magazine

text: This is always an interesting magazine. Very good value for the money.


title: It's ok

text: I have received 3 issuse so far with 2 of them being damaged.... I ordered this magazine for my sister and she received a special issue which I have not received! This magazine dose have some good coupons!


title: Five Stars

text: Great read, would like an online presence but still a great value.


title: super duper mag! love some of her stuff!

text: only place where mag is not full retail to subscribe! really like alot of the content. good shopping, good recipes, fun ideas, love the antique section. not too country, but just enough "comfy" ideas. really quite well rounded.


title: I like it.

text: I like it, and that's about all I can really say about it. It needs a little more flair personally, more pictures with color. Other than that I love the articles.


title: Can't Go Wrong

text: I like to stay current on all the details out there in the scientific world and this magazine certainly helps cover all the bases. Simply wonderful.


title: Love It.

text: I love reading it every month. I always look forward to seeing what is going on in the scienitific community, what new discoveries have been made, what is the major works going on and it explains it all very easily so that almost anyone can decifier what they are trying to say.


title: Favorite food magazine!

text: I love this magazine! Unlike some other food mags, this one is completely dedicated to all things food (without wasting room on exercise and fashion!). The recipes are diverse, the articles are interesting, and the cooking tips provided are brilliant!


title: what gives?

text: i like the magazine. it doesn't drag on and on like some others do. what i don't like is being charged twice and then not getting an answer as to why i was charged twice. and, when i canceled, they refused. this is unacceptable.


title: Very helpful

text: Good ideas and information. very enjoyable reading.


title: It's a good magazine for women

text: It's a good magazine for women.  I like that it addresses the needs of  women of different  ages.  Wish it didn't recommend cosmetic surgery and Botox, giving the message that women don't look good enough naturally.


title: don't Buy

text: I paid for this magazine in February of this year and have not seen one magazine from them as yet (June '13) after many emails they are now telling me that I won't get a magazine till Dec. 2013 because they have the wrong address on the account and it takes them that long for an address change.  (Are we in the stone age?) My subscription expires in June 2014.  This magazine only comes out every quarter or every other month, this is not a good deal.  If I hadn't used Paypal to buy this magazine I would be filing a complaint with my credit card company.


title: Five Stars

Exceptional articles about real life and people in Montana and excellent, out-of-the-way places to visit and spend time; don't pay attention to those unrealistic real estate ads - Montana IS your best bet for an unforgettable vacation! The Kalispell and Polson area ARE expensive, but you'll stretch your hard earned dollars far if you visit ANY other area! Montana native through n' through; living in Butte at present - ANOTHER great place to visit!


title: Great Menswear Magazine

text: As a Designer myself, I was constantly looking for good menswear magazine to replace the one I had that went out of business.


title: One Star

text: Not as good as it used to be.


title: Five Stars

text: I ordered it right !?!


title: Five Stars

text: I don't know how I let my subscription lapse, but that will never happen again.


title: Three Stars

text: to much freshwater not enough saltwater


title: Sculpture for Everyone

text: Unlike stuffy art magazines intended for rarefied audiences, Sculpture Review is a real gem that speaks directly to a wider public of artists, collectors, and those interested in the role of art--specifically sculpture--in our culture and our lives. This magazine goes on the assumption that sculpture is as much a part of daily life as food and water and is something we can all discuss. Its quarterly, themed issues bring the work of developing artists, practicing professionals, and an occasional old master to readers' attention with engaging articles in a highly readable, lavishly illustrated format suitable for living room, library, and studio.


title: Magazine

text: Good magazine with some great information


title: Great if you're into reading advertisements.

text: It's all advertising with a few factoids about some coins.


title: Use this as a supplement for my class

text: This is perfect as a supplement for updated information on nutrition for my secondary class.  Do not have to worry about ads.  I have already renewed.  I also like that you receive daily emails on current trends.


title: A Mixture of light gossip and hard-hitting news

text: I have grown to really respect Vanity Fair.  For a long time I read it for its enjoyable collection of reporting about the rich and famous.  Kind of like People Magazine, up many notches for class and honesty.  I felt like I was being allowed behind the curtain of the "Beautiful People" But in recent years it has evolved into  a role of writing strong and well-written articles about politics, and important people.  Kind of like the NYT, but with charm and in-depth social analysis.  Its astonishing use of covers alone is worth the subscription.  It has switched from bosomy starlets to black women of accomplishment.  It still has the starlets, but less often.  And the starlets only get one page review, while the women of color and accomplishment emerge as three-dimensional figures.  I highly recommend it.


title: As good as ever!

text: Subscribed for 15+ years in the 80s-90s.  Very happy with the current version.  Excellent writers and well edited.


In my estimation, Gray's Sporting Journal is the best hunting and fishing magazine available.  It costs more, but the writers are excellent, and the stories are well remembered.


title: The Invisible Magazine

text: Two months after ordering the magazine I have yet to receive a single issue.


title: How did I get this far without this magazine??

text: I think there can be no better magazine value of its type. I have particularly enjoyed the recipe section, but it is all good. Why didn't somebody tell me?


title: Always worth reading.

text: Always on point,


title: Five Stars

text: My mom has gotten into the cooking shows...she loves this magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: very informative and entertaining.


title: KInd of Boring

text: As someone nearing retirement, I felt it was time to see if Reader's Digest had changed with the times, so I subscribed at a great introductory rate. So far, I have been unimpressed. The quality of the paper it is printed on is very poor and the majority of articles are pleasant, but spineless. Perhaps I am to snarky of an "almost senior" to appreciate RD yet. I will give it a full year before deciding whether to keep the subscription.


title: nothing good

text: not a good edition, and never got the previous one, money back now!


title: Beautiful but over my head

text: Beautiful magazine but over my head.


title: Great magazine!

text: Love its focus on maintaining health without a lot of Western medicine.<br />Lots of info on yoga, good eating, meditation, positive thinking, etc.


title: Great Magazine for a great deal

text: National Geographic does not make junk.  This magazine is no exception, well written and intriguing. To get this magazine for $15 for a whole year is a steal to say the least.  You will not find the magazine this cheap anywhere else.  If you do let me know because I have given these magazines to more than one as Christmas gifts and they have always enjoyed them year after year.


title: Magazine

text: I ordered National Geographic for an extemely reasonable price, and the subscription arrived in less than ten days. Fantastic service for a wonderful magazine!


title: Ordered months ago, have never received an issue yet

text:
I usually like this mag, at least I used to when I had a subscription in the past many years ago.
I've heard it's more ads than content now but even that I'm OK with if it allows me to find sources for parts for my split window bus.
However I ordered this months ago and have yet to receive my first issue. I don't see what is so difficult about sending it out. No wonder print is dying.

Just go to the store and buy your copy. That's what it looks like I have to do, and I paid for a subscription.
Pains me to leave this review and I'm a huge air cooled enthusiast and there isn't much print media left for us like there used to be, but it is what it is and that's the way she goes.

If I had ever started receiving issues I'm sure I'd be leaving a 4 or 5 star review instead.
