Finest classical music publication
This is the finest popular publication for classical music, and it is a wonderful complement to more serious publications such as Fanfare.Highly recommended for the collector, both amateur and serious alike.
The best, for many reasons...
This might sound strange at first, but I confess: Of course I subscribe to The Gramophone for its critically perceptive and unfailingly well-written reviews and features, but perhaps what I love best about this magazine are the copious and informative record-label advertisements! Just leafing through the Nov. or Dec. 2004 edition, I see full-page and even two-page spreads showing:
New and improved: 'The' Gramophone.
Effective with the November, 2004 issue, Gramophone has undergone a number of changes in design and editorial content, all for the better. One of these changes, perhaps the most minor of all, is the reversion to its original title, 'The' Gramophone. The other changes are more substantial, hardly cosmetic, especially for North American readers.

Great Home Brewer Mag.
I love it and read it cover to cover every month. I am a avid home brewer and Liek the information they provide. It caters to the little guy doing extract batches on the stove top to people like me who do all grain in converted Keg systems. Cheers!!
An excellent 'every-man' (or woman) mag about the fine art of homebrewing.I've been a homebrewer for over 20 years and have seen a lot of stuff come and go, yet I still get good ideas out of each issue (and not just recipes, although the Szamatulski's contributions are usually good).Typically, in the area of gadgets.Read more

The Finest of "Jazz, Blues, and Beyond" In One Magazine.
The current title of this magazine says it all: Jazz, Blues, and Beyond. The arrival of DownBeat at your door or magazine store will be a welcome event each month. DownBeat has been the standard magazine for articles on jazz musicians and record reviews for decades. In recent years, it has expanded to cover blues, rock, third stream, world beat, Brazilian popular music, and much more. MEGA-TONS of records, cassettes, and CDs have been sold based on the in depth reviews of the DownBeat critics. Magazines have come and gone and DB continues to get the best critics to write hip and incisive articles on musicians, jazz festivals, notable events, deaths, equipment, and musical transcriptions of great solos. Reader's letters to the editor, "Chords and Dischords" is a lively feature that never fails to ruffle some feathers.
Still The Best Jazz Periodical Out There
For current reviews of CD's and concerts as well as historical reviews of past releases Down beat cannot be beat. The articles are always interesting and the magazine blends the right mix of current and vintage musical information that makes every issue worth having. The Blindfold Test feature where some artist listens to a few recordings and tries to identify and offer commentary on the players is really cool. Especially when you can read what Charles Mingus has to say about other artists of his day as in the most recent issue. I look forward to every issue of Down Beat and recommend it to anyone who enjoys jazz.

Good
The main bulk of Down Beat is reviews of albums that are coming out the jazz world.Quite easily, the best parts are the special sections, and interviews they have with artists.Read more

quotes
I used to subscribe to this pamphlet (and it is a pamphlet, not a magazine) at work several years ago.I just unearthed a copy from 1997 and was surprised to find it's still out there.To give you an idea of what it is:it's roughtly 20+ pages, full of inspiring quotes related to leadership, honesty, work ethic, etc.Some is funny, some is thought-provoking: This is not a magazine!
Even though this is advertised as a magazine, it is actually a 24 page pamphlet measuring 4 x 6.5 inches. It contains brief, loosely related, quotations about leadership and human nature from sources that date from ancient times through the present. There are no articles at all.Nothing within the pages was written for this publication. The longest quotations are a couple of paragraphs. Most are one or two lines.Read more

Modern knitting mag
Creative Knitting is relatively new to the knitting market, a welcome addition. While I haven't subscribed yet, I pick up copies at the newstand and have generally found the quality of the patterns, styles, and articles to be pretty good. The directions for the garments that I've made have been accurate and error free. Except for things like bikinis (who at any agewould wear a hand-knitted bikini?) and slacks (?!), most of the designs are modern and adaptable. With 20 or more projects in each issue, CK is a bargain. Hope these editors and designers keep up the good work. ... Read more

The Art of Reviewing Art
I love this magazine!!!As if it isn't hard enough to find anyone out there with a good appreciation of independent film (and by appreciation, I also mean knowledge), but then you have to deal with all these film nerds who think that if it wasn't done on a shoestring budget by a no-name director, it must be bad.Read more

excellent magazine, but I like the earlier issues the most
If you can get your mits on some back issues, you may agree that this magazine's focus has become narrower over the last couple of years.Now, GR seems to print a lot of stories about painters and other artists.They still include fun articles about interesting experiences in foreign countries.These articles are my favorites, so I still read GR for those.
I read it. And hey, I'm rad.
Either pointless or the most vital expression of culture on theplanet. I can't decide. Asian American culture with a nice side business on pointless pop trash, vinyl figures, exploitation cinema, fringe and pretty art. Awesome. Wish each issue was much thicker.

OVERPRICED ON AMAZON
GREAT MAGAZINE, BUT WAY TOO EXPENSIVE ON AMAZON.SHOULD COST NO MORE THAN $4.00 AN ISSUE ... Read more

It's a Rag now
When CBG was a weekly (newspaper) it was fairly accurate in it's reporting on the newest prices for comics, changes in the writer/artist teams, and the direction that the publishers were going for the coming year.But once the pros left and the new geek management took over and changed it into a Wizard clone, it became just as bad as that rag.There are ten main stories on the page, and maybe two have any truth in them.And I now know for a fact that many interviews on the pages were either faked or they took the interview words out of constract, so it makes you belive one thing when it is really false.Kind of fits the comic book industry now.A BIG JOKE.

More meaty than Wizard
While sections like "Longbox Manifesto" and "Ask Mr. Silver Age" will certainly appeal to long-time comic book lovers, CBG is a magazine that, month-in and month-out, will contain new and fresh news and stories that you more-than-likely didn't read elsewhere.The comic book and graphic novels reviewed each month are more than just Marvel and DC books, too, which is nice.
It's Wizard for the more discerning reader
When Comics Buyers Guide was a weekly tabloid, it appealed mainly to the hardcore comic book collector. Now that it has switched to a monthly format, delivering a healthy 244+ pages/issue, it has evolved into a dual-purpose magazine, still meeting the collector's needs while offering much more content for the discerning comic book reader and/or fan.

Great Magazine
I really enjoy this magazine.I didn't have any of the service problems that the previous reviewed had.I ordered mine through Amazon and I get the free CD with every copy.

OK magazine - if you don't mind terrible customer service!
I ordered this magazine from Amazon back in February 2006.The first issue finally arrived a over 3 months later.(You probably don't want to buy this subscription as a gift unless you don't mind if your friend thinks you forgot to get them anything!)When the magazine eventually arrived there was a problem with my copy so I called the Pianist magazine customer service department.After about 10 minutes of annoying muzac I spoke to a representative.They said they could not answer my question and promised to call back in 30 minutes.That was 4 weeks ago and they still have not bothered to call back.
Best Piano Magazine Ever
I have been a subscriber since Volume 1.It is one of the best magazines for the serious pianist or the beginer.Good articles that are relevant, excellent choise of pieces to perform, and the CD is a great help - especially with the music minus one.If you want to improve your scope of music - and add additional perfomance peices - this magazine is a must. ...
