A Truly Hilarious Look At Toys Like You've Never Before Seen
"Toyfare" is a truly amazing read, and delivers every month. It surely isn't on the level of top-selling magazines such as "People" or "Entertainment Weekly," but it's writing is like none other I've read. Chock full of cheesy pop culture references to Marvel and DC Comics, He-Man, and everything else, "Toyfare" has some seriously funny comedy. If you're not familiar with Marvel and DC lore, you may not get as much of a laugh, but it's truly ingenius, and an underappreciated piece of writing. "Magoo Theatre," (now "Toyfare) is comedy at its best, featuringa skeptical Spider-Man, Homer Simpson-like Hulk, and alcoholic Iron Man. These monthly pieces are gems on their own, only boosted by the comedy bits in the wildly descriptive listings for action figures. No fare like ToyFare
I tell ya, there ain't nothin' that pushes my geeky side to the forefront like flippin' through the latest ish of ToyFare. Along with Mad magazine and the Wizard comic book price guide, ToyFare was a major factor in helping me maintain my sanity during those long customer-free stretches at the comics-and-collectibles shop I used to work at. Not only did I stay up-to-date on all the latest toy news thanks to the mag's scads of previews, reviews, the Top 10 hot list, and the quick-reference price guide in the back, I also got quite a few good laughs from the sophomoric and sick humor that seemed to ooze from every page. From single-panel "Big Shots" featuring various action figures saying and/or doing very wrong things to each other, to snide remarks about how the readers should "try to get outta your parents' basement every once in a while" in one of the Toy Preview columns, to the appropriately-titled "Twisted ToyFare Theater"*, it's quite apparent the guys who put this publication together every month really enjoy their work, and have a real passion for the hobby they write about. Which is something I've found lacking in other toy collector periodicals I've perused over the years. Another thing I've found lacking in other toy mags is a willingness to throw a few yuks at themselves and the readership, something ToyFare almost OVERdoes in each issue. Admittedly, there are times when the mag's attempts at humor fall flat, or are just plain lame. But for every clinker that hits the ground with a resounding "thud", there's always a few riotously hilarious moments that more than make up for it. Good even if your not into the toys
I found this mag and thought it would be something my boyfriend would like.Now I steal it from him!Toyfare covers old and new toys, news, and a Toyfare Theater that is hillarious.Try it, you'll like it. ... Read more

For ALL Woodworkers
Woodwork is by far the hardest woodworking magazine to pin down to a single approach.Just when you think they have no interest in power tools an article on making your own magnetic switches appear.Just when you think it's about studio furniture a long detailed article on building a workbench appears.Then an article on harps shows up, or the nature of wood, or a Japanese sculpture.
Awesome!
This magazine is gorgeous.The quality and artistry of the work they show is always the best that can be found, and they illustrate how woodworking can be more than just "making sawdust".This is for craftspeople who really care about their work.It's like fine woodworking with more information about the actual artists and a bit less about the mechanics.The West Coast woodcraft scene at its best - this magazine always inspires me.

Sometimes its Ok, sometimes its not
I have read Bird Times many times.The articles are much less complicated than the Bird Talk magazine articles, which are fairly simplistic as well.I recommend that you look at the cover and see if there are any articles that you want to read.This magazine usually takes me 15-20 minutes to read, and that is if there is an interesting article.Fewer ads than Bird Talk.

A must-read for any gambling fan
Casino Player is the end-all magazine for the serious gambler (and the gambler who likes weekend fun with lots of comps!).It is one of the pricier magazines, but the cost is well worth it, and it isn't over-run with advertising.
The Best is Getting Better!!!
Casino Player is a monthly subscription magazine that tries to be all things to all casino enthusiasts, and usually succeeds. From the mathematic and probability computations for the video poker fan by guru Bob Dancer, to Jean Scott's wonderful column The Frugal Gambler, which gives first-timers and seasoned players alike excellent information on how to get comps (which are freebees---sort of---that the casinos give their customers.), this outstanding publication delivers first-rate information for travelers to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Tunica to use to make their stays more enjoyable and profitable. Recently, Casino Player has seen fit to substantially overhaul their content, adding more first-rate columnists such as Basil Nestor (who deals with gaming's colorful and illustrious history), and adding more coverage to new areas of the country as gaming (not gambling; the correct term these days is gaming) continues to expand into new markets such as Southern California and the Upper Midwest. The results show a decided improvement in both the magazine's content and range of coverage, though not without some sacrifices along the way. Unfortunately, two of the magazine's best columns have recently been lost in the shuffle: The Aggrivated Gambler, a forum for dealing with unpleasant casino experiences and how to cut through red tape, written by the very fine writer Melissa Fine; and Mystery Tourist, a nonbylined column which explores the offerings of a different resort every month under the guise of anonymity. However, the new additions more than make up for the losses. Hopefully, now that coverage is being reapportioned, more attention can be given to such oft-neglected (Las Vegas) gems such as the Monte Carlo, Luxor, Treasure Island (or TI, as it is now called) and the Stratosphere; a lovely profile of local Coast Properties fave the Orleans just appeared in last month's issue, so perhaps steps are being taken in that direction. In any case, whether you are an experienced or neophyte gamer, you will want to subscribe to the new and improved Casino Player ASAP. With all their recent upgrades, there's no doubt that the best gaming magazine in the industry is certainly getting better!!!

Wine Maker Wonderful
This is indeed a wonderful resource for all winemakers. Good source of home winemaking tips
This magazine is a really good source of winemaking tips for the home winemaker. Throughout the year, this magazine provides a very solid set of articles that cover a wide variety of topics. The articles are written at a level appropriate for the non-chemistry major in college who is interested in making wine. Every edition of the magazine seems to include at least one article by a commercial winemaker -- and there seem to be additional brief tips often contributed by other winemakers as well.Read more

Is it really worth it?
Well, I have been subscribing to White Dwarf for many years and last year was my last subscription (after 9 years!). The reason is that White Dwarf has taken another pice hike and now it is $60 a YEAR!!!
great magazine
I've been a subscriber for years! Great magazine!
Worth it?
I have been a gamer for almost 7years. In that time I have seen a number of price hikes. When I first started gaming, I subscribed to White Dwarf. It was a great source of rule updates and entertainment. Battle reports are fun to read and I always enjoyed looking at the Golden Deamon winners. They include modeling hints but they will only help if you already have some experience. There is also a lot of fluff. Back then it was $50 AND you got around $20 of free figures. Now it is $50 and you only get the magazine. The quality of the content has gone up slightly but the binding on some of my last editions fell apart after two days. The only truly useful thing in WD is the rules and its best to get those in a Chapter Approved. The magazine is wonderful and gets at least 4stars but the deal has gone downhill. I love Warhammer and WD but you really need to decide if it is worth it. ... Read more

Excellent Magazine
CQ magazine is an excellent and valuable source of information for Amatuer Radio operators, or those interested in the hobby. Each issue includes informative articles, product reviews and do-it-yourself project ideas.

Good Magazine for beginners and old hams alike.
I enjoy reading CQ for the articles aimed at the beginners as well as more detailed articles appealing to a more seasoned operator. It gives ideas for kits to build, antenna projects and operating procedures for the many different methods todays HAM can "work the world". I look forward to each months copy. ... Read more

Crochet World Rocks!
This is the best crochet magazine on the market today. Not only does it feature a variety or crocheted patterns, it uses easily found material that are not ultra-expensive. I love their columns and designers. I especially like the Crochet Potpourri column that lets me write in and ask other readers for particular patterns. They have been publishing for over 25 years and boy, do they do it right! I tell all my crocheting friends about this terrific magazine.
Lacks style
I have picked up several copies of this magazine at the newstand. I have not bought one copy. The patterns in the magazine lack style. They also use rather unflattering and uncomfortable yarns (eg scratchy hairy synthetics for ponchos). I have not seen one item that I would make.

I dont have any thing to say right now. Sorry. ... Read more
