A lovely magazine
This magazine is lovely.
Good... A little too comercial
I've always thought of Sunset magazine as the type of magazine you'd find in the back of an airplane seat.The kind of magazine with flashy pictures, expensive wines and places you can never afford to go to. This is a good magazine, but I find level of advertising annoying. Also, the reviews of hotels don't strike me as that reliable. Last month, based on a review in this magazine about an inn, we stayed the night at this location and found the service was awful, the 'rooms with fireplaces' not functional and the room smelled bad. These facts were conveniently left out of the review which touted the friendly staff and the great rooms. So I guess, ultimately, I'd take reviews and articles in the magazine with a grain of salt.
Dream Ideas
I enjoy looking at and reading the articles in "Sunset".We plan to retire in Montana and I save articles that have information on houses, yards, etc. Someday, we hope to use some of this information. Great, healthy recipes also included in the magazine. ... Read more

Shallow -- exploits endangered species for "fashion"
I was a loyal subscriber to Elle Decor until they started using endangered species' pelts as decorative accents in their magazine photos.This latest (November 2006) issue was the last straw - featuring a zebra's pelt used as rug in a guady room full of gold details.Three more zebra pelt rugs are shown prominently in the magazine's pages, obviously planted in the featured homes by the publication's staff, who clearly think endangered species pelts are the latest fashion. When I wrote to express my concern about endangered animal parts featured in an earlier issue, I received no response from the magazine - they only print glowing, fawning letters to the editor on their "Mailbox" page...never any criticisms.I am taking this magazine off my list of home decor magazines that I subscribe to - I recommend Home magazine, Architectural Digest, or O at Home instead.Style without conscience is shallow.

Love it!
I'm an interior design major and my mother bought me a subscription to this magazine for Christmas this year...I love it! A previous review mentioned that this magazine advertises things that were wayyy out of her budget. Well, that may be true but if you're creative, it can give you a lot of great inspiration!

The most elegant magazine on the market
I am a long time reader of Elle Decor and I adore it! I save every issue and constantly look at them for inspiration. As one of the few design magazines to not go totally down market in the past few years, I really appreciate the integrity of the houses and apartments ED shows.

Second best but not bad
FourFourTwo is full of ads and reflects the corporate side of our national game. The interviews are often anodyne and it tends to concentrate on the big clubs. When Saturday Comes is better reflecting football culture in all its various forms, unfortunately you'll have to search for it stateside. That said, this is ok and, in the land of the ball game, it must be manna from heaven.

England 2006
Being from Montana you always get the best football news or football for that matter. I am forced to rely on 442 and never am I dissapointed. From news of trades, fights or simply Sir Bobby Robson's take on the latest news you can't go wrong with this magazine.

The Best Football Magazine
I lived in England until I came out to the States a few years ago. I had a subscription to this magazine then, and I depend on it even more now. For someone addicted to the REAL football in a town like Cincinnati isn't easy- but this magazine is like you're back in England. It is thhe best football magazine by far, you can't really go wrong with it. It has excellent, original stories and great interviews. It's a real life-saver! ... Read more

The magazine
This is the only music magazine you ever need to read. This is what Rolling Stone should aspire to be. There is really nothing more to say than if you like music this is all there is.

It was great while it lasted....
I am a big fan of this magazine, but even more so of the "free" cd--when it is good, it is very good.So I finally subscribed despite the stiff price.Two issues came, I was happy, then a third without the cd, and then...no more.After many calls and complaints, Amazon finally secured a partial refund--not exactly what I wanted.Here's hoping that the delivery problems can be worked out--maybe an opaque wrapper?

Great content but delivery is problematic
As far is the writing is concerned this is a top notch rock magazine. The format is appealing and the pages are not marred by one too many ads. Another plus is the CD that comes with each issue ; this might help justify the cost. The original CD's are priceless with real gems that the average music listener may not have heard of.They choose a theme and run with it, creating an eclectic mix of artists to illustrate their theme.Take for example a few months back when it was legendary tracks from Studio One in Jaimaca where it featured little known artists among reggae afficionados like Ernest Ranglin, Michiganand Smiley next to giants like Bob Marley, The Skatalites for a complete view of the important record label of reggae. I really enjoy the monthly features including tributes to those that passed away in the month entitled"Real Gone." Old rock stars are going faster than they did in the seventies! Other good features are the brief reviews of music indexed as Filter reissues, reissues extra, tracks,buried treasurean just plain Filter Albums(current stuff). The in depth articles of the cover subject are very entertaining and what actually drew me to Mojo intiallyfor information. There is one draw back for US subsrcibers, it is a long way acros the pond and problems will occurr. In the last year my problems have been as follows: was receiving my issues two weeks after the stores had copies, missing CD's. To their credit both problems were solved in spite of having to send three issues so that I would finally get my ripped off CD,it was stole twice! Subscriber beware. Sending it in clear plastic with the words CD inside is just an invitation to a thief. Otherwise it is maybe the best rock music magazine out there and I defintely recommend the Brits perspective. ... Read more

BUY IT!!!
The Young Rider is the BEST horse magazine for kids. It encourages horse lovers to love horses even more. It has great tips on riding English and Western saddle. It publishes letters that readers sent in the magazine. Young Rider also advertizes horse camps, tack, and riding clubs. Every magazine has two HUGE posters. My room is full of them. It talks about horse problems and how to cure them, horse breeds, stories, quizez, comics, and LOTS LOTS LOTS MORE! It is good for kids 5-15 and is great even if you are not a horse lover. All my freinds love this magazine! I loke this magazine! WHY CAN'T YOU!!! You will NOT be disipointed. So what are you waiting for? SUBSCRIBE NOW!!!

Young Rider Full of Ads
I purchased subscriptions to both "Ask" and "Muse" for my daughter (9 years old) and am thrilled at the lack of advertising in those magazines.I subscribed to "Young Rider," as my daughter is very much a horse lover.I was dismayed to find it full of advertisements.And not only that, but poor quality ads, irresponsible ads perpetuating gender stereotypes (e.g., males do not wear pink) and blatant consumerism ("From hoof to toe, wear the brand.")While I'm using the magazine as a means for teaching media literacy, we certainly will not be resubscribing.As to the content, it does seem informative, especially for a beginning rider, though the writing is not particularly compelling.And the articles are hard to find amidst all the marketing, making it visually confusing.While my daughter picked up her first issue of "Ask," sat down and did not get up until she'd read it cover to cover, she picked up "Young Rider," glanced through it, tossed it back down and has not yet returned to her first issue.And this is a child who is horse crazy -- not much of a testimonial for a horse magazine!

SPEND HOURS READING
The young rider is a child friendly magazine with bright photos and posters. They are realy good for even people who don't love horses! The young Rider provides stories on horse lessons, pony roundups, jumping, english, and western events! Children who don't like horses are sure to LOVE horses after subscribing for the Young Rider! It also has quizzes! I know it's good for ages 5-15! The Young Rider is always happy for you to send in letter or photos wich always have a chance of getting into the magazine. It talks about horses for sale and Zillions more! Young Rider gave me a penpall, nolege, posters, and many hours reading! There is not anything wrong with the young rider! it is a GREAT magazine! It is not just 5 stars it is 10,000 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Read more

High Quality Review of F1
This British magazine is a little (well, more than a little)pricey but it's an excellent, high quality review of F1 events, people, and races. It arrives in the US about one race late -- so it's not the best place to get the "news," but the editorial staff does a great job staying on top of current F1 developments, rule changes, driver changes, and other controversies, so it still feels very current.

Interesting, but too much "mom stuff"
I was annoyed that this magazine seems to equate "mature woman" with "has kids".I enjoy the realistic fashion tips and advice, and I get annoyed with Cosmo's teenage attitude, but I'd like to see more about careers to balance out the "how to be a mom who does it all" sections.And yes, I'm not kidding...there's a regular section on being a mom who does it all.
Fun to read.
This mag. is fun to read and has good recipes.Also, the subscription was inexpensive.

I look forward to recieving my magazine every month. Ireally love this magazine. It has articles, marriage, sex, women's lives, etc. I don't know why the others didn't enjoy it.

What it is... what it is not
It is a guy mag with hot women, full frontal, articles on pop culture, cars...ect
My Favorite
Penthouse is the hottest men's magazine available.The chicks are very slutty-looking, and the pictorials are extremely sexy.My favorite issue was the one which featured a totally explicit pictorial of a hot stud in a gladiator costume with a scalding-hot blonde and a scalding hot brunette -- I've still got that one in my collection.Playboy is for all the boys.Penthouse is for the men who know what they want.

Good magazine for the adult male.
The adult men magazine hierarchy (small sample), from "classy" (pictures of nude women, but a lot of "other" content that tends to be more mainstream) to "trashy" (mostly pictures of naked women, and if there are articles and the like, they tend to be focused on the less mainstream more "adult" type activity): Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, Taboo (a Hustler product), Nugget . . .

Sophisticated but Practical
Like most women in the UK, Vogue features fashion that is low-maintenance and stylish. Unlike the US, French, Italian mags, the British edition is for the true brit: easy, fun, casual fashion that is practical for every day life. The only problem is they tend to feature Kate Moss on the cover WAY too much.

Better than its American counterpart by a long shot!
I picked up a copy of British Vogue when I had finished reading my American Vogue for the month, interested in the British Vogue and its take on fashion, plus I've had subscriptions to British magazines in the past and was impressed with them.There are many, many things that set this magazine apart from American Vogue.First, this magazine's main focus is fashion.They devote more space to models than celebrities, socialites, or noblility types.They don't only focus on the high and unreachable fashions but also feature more affordable clothing (granted, its mostly at British stores, but the thought counts) . The articles in British Vogue are more educated, and they cover more ground.Another thing I really liked was that this magazine not only shows fashions and trends but also shows you HOW to put them together, what mixes with what, and what you should be looking at getting.They also talk about staple pieces in this magazine, how and where to buy those.This magazine also has a pride for country that you don't see in the U.S. anymore which is a breath of fresh air.The snootiness of American Vogue, the parading around couture only, the $900 first night sets and whatnot are left out of this magazine.It almost seems like this magazine is more practical than its American counterpart.Lastly, this magazine is of higher quality, with full, glossy pages, a glossy cover, and is overall about 2 inches bigger all the way around than its American counterpart. This magazine is very, very good, I just wish a subscription were more affordable.

Gorgeous.
British Vogue is an absolute top-notch publication that I would recommend to anyone who is seeking a fashion magazine that is truly about fashion.So much more interesting than its American counterpart, I adore and await nearly each issue that is released (naturally, as with any magazine, there are always months [usually January and July] that are not as stellar as the others).The editorials are almost consistently cutting-edge and the covers still feature models much of the time, as opposed to actresses each and every month.It really does celebrate Britain but it always has an eye on other parts of the globe.The paper on which this magazine is printed is also lovely - always heavy and nice to the touch - and of course the cover is glossy (unlike the matte American Vogue covers that the subscribers are left with).And the occasional "Catwalk Specials" supplements are great - covering so many different shows and "trends" - all smartly laid out.Read more

One of my favorite magazines, and I am getting it free!
Why pay for it, when you can get a full year subscription for Maxim, FHM and Stuff magazines for Free! I got mine from this web site:stufffreesite.com/mensmags

I like all kinds of STUFF!
I like the magazing because it fits my lifestyle. It keeps it real with the in your face articles. The fluff is perfect for this style of magazine and i look forward to every issue for the new product info alone. The kick a$$ ladies don't hurt either.I have subscriptions to Stuff,FHM,and Maxim until 2010 and to me worth every penny.

For guys only

Inspiring!
When the publishers of my all-time favorite women's fitness magazine (Muscle & Fitness Hers) decided to stop producing it, I had to find a suitable alternative.While it's not as "meaty" as Muscle & Fitness Hers, it's a good, inspiring read.It devotes too much space to fluffy stuff like clothing and makeup (and ug, even a few celebrities), but overall I would recommend it...at least until something better comes along!

great magazine!
this magazine covers four main aspects: physical fitness, food & nutrition, health & beauty, and mental/spiritual health.it offers something in each and always has new and interesting information that is easy to understand for a person that is just a beginner in the fitness world or experienced.the focus is on physical fitness, and food, and the information is valid and easy to transfer over into everyday life.workouts are easy to understand, with good photos to illustrate, and almost all can be done without making a trip to the gym.
Keep 'em moving
This is a good thing.Anything that can keep the folks moving in the right direction is great.I like the idea of seeing people at the top end of the fitness ladder but also want to see those who are doing the best with what they have.A decent magazine is in a perfect place to make it happen because of the on-going exposure. ...

try it once, it isnt painful.:)
old mac usr, new mac usr, matters not.there is something in this magazine for everyone.and, icreate has a pretty good online usr forum too.

Reason for the high price
The high price is predominately due to the shipping costs as this magazine is produced in the United Kingdom.A subscription over there runs about twenty bucks.However, even with the added expense to get this delivered stateside, iCreate is a great looking magazine with excellent editorials.
Phantom Magazine
Great magazine couldn't recommend it any higher for anyone starting out with macs. iCreate also introduced a great Pro section in 2005 to delveinto the workings of ProApps such as Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, mDVD Studio Pro etc. Now here's the thing, I'm wondering how the magazine can be available for subscription while the magazine was put on hold late last year. Me, or anyone I know with a subscription haven't recieved the mag for months, and there has been no contact from the people who handle thesubscription despite zillions of e-mails. So be careful, get the full story before you hand over any money!!!!!!!!!!!check the web for similar storries, you will find them ... Read more

Tattoo
I was at the tattoo place at the beginning of 2006, with my sister. While waiting for her tattoo to be completed, I was browsing thru their sorts of magazines. I ran across a page that showed Hello Kitty tattoo art. I LOVE that one. A few months later I returned to find that art so the artist could do this one on me. Unfortunately that mag is now gone. :(
excellent depiction of tattoo culture
Many people ...moan about the articles in this magazine, it is really unfortunate that no one is interested in the tattoo culture as much as the tattoos themselves.I am a collector of tattoos (12 and still going strong), but why get tattoos without knowing about advancements in tattooing, or the awesome people that do it.People who have tattoos should really enjoy the articles, and the people that keep tattooing alive.The culture is as entertaining as the pictures, and if you don't apreciate that than you shouldn't get tattoos.Respect those that make a living sharing their art with the world, don't be close minded and expect only pictures, that's not tattoing or the tattoo world.This is an excellent magazine and I would suggest it to any one!!

Love it, but....
Being tattooed myself (currently 11) I love checking out new art from around the world... which has made me addicted to this magazine. The only problem? I have to agree that there are just too many articles that have nothing to do with tats. Granted, the mag has introduced me to some new cds, but that really isn't what I'm buying it for. If you're into articles as well as pics, get a subscription. If you're looking for just pics - check out Flash magazine. ... Read more

uuuuhhhh.....so not worth it in the end.
I love the magazine for the most part. It gets to me that it is so male oriented though. Half naked chicks, stuff about sex and prostitution are all over the place. Once you look beyond that though it is pretty good. They throw gimicks in it (like free episodes, manga, and postcards) just to get people to buy it. And even if you wanted some of the animes advertised in the magazine you couldn't afford them after paying the ridiculously high subscription price. Good info and everything but if you are on a budget you simply wouldn't be able to afford it. It's better to check the bookstores to see if there is one that you really want.

Overall, a very good fan magazine
When judging NewType USA by its peers, it does very well.The magazine is full of big glossy pages of Japanese content.The DVDs are also packed with trailers and episodes each month.
One of the Best Anime Magazines Available!
I cannot say enough good things about Newtype USA! The quality of this magazine is simply outstanding.Each issue features in-depth articles on at least three different animes as well as a ton of smaller articles that give you a preview of new up and coming titles. Each issue also includes a dvd with at least 3 full length episodes of the newest shows, plus at least 10 trailers for other anime titles.This magazine also contains articles on Jpop/rock bands, anime conventions, the latest in japanese merchandise, and a whole lot more.I have been a subscriber to Newtype USA for over a year and I am completely, 100% satisfied with it.I am always looking forward to the next issue and highly recommend this magazine to all anime fans. ...

Interesting and informative magazine
Actually, I'd give it a 3.5.Love the magazine articles, but wish there were a few less ads (there's scarcely a page without at least one).If you aren't careful, many of the ads look like articles.I'm unfamiliar with some of the products advertised and find many of them informative - but the sheer volume affects the price I'm willing to pay for this magazine.

Wonderful magazine
My husband and I started with a free subscription to this magazine and fell in love with it.We both read it from cover to cover.

Nice holistic heath and wellness magazine geared mainly towards women
I've been a subscriber to Body + Soul magazine for about a year now, and I look forward to each new issue.The magazine focuses on many areas of interest to me, including healthy eating, holistic health, fitness, and personal growth.The articles frequently feature practical things like recipes, buying guides, yoga or other fitness instructions, and emotional exercises (the latter of which I find particularly helpful in my work as a psychologist).My only complaints about this magazine is that there is a bit too much of a focus on spiritual/meditation type issues, which are less relevant to me, and that the magazine is on the short side with a high number of advertisements.Otherwise, I definitely enjoy Body + Soul and do plan to renew my subscription. ...

They didn't follow through with subscription
We paid for a 12 month subscription and I got the magazine for about 4 months. I couldn't get anyone to answer why it stopped and basically they just took my money. I didn't get a 12 month subscription. I got ripped off.
Uncle Abe loved 'The Sporting News'
Years ago 'The Sporting News' was the fans' 'bible'. I can remember what a special feeling it gave to look at it, the real lowdown, the most bottom- line stuff , more statistics than even the greatest baseball nut could ever remember.
Solid reporting without the bull
When you're a big baseball fan of course you always listen to that mystique surrounding The Sporting News and its history. They were "the bible of baseball" until the 1980s, when they decided to stop covering minor leagues and decrease their MLB coverage. But recently they have started to pick up.

My second favorite magazine right under Seventeen
This magazine clearly has its individuality and is positively changing. The magazine has affected me and made me more confident, but mostly, it's just been fun stuff to read. Here's more for you. They have their usuals, like the editors note, readers' letters', behind the scenes look, and a freebie calendar. There are the fun things, like secrets, embarassing stories, eerie tales (they usually put this in the magazine every few months), horoscopes, and some CG! manga. The features. Of course the features. Always good to read. This includes a set of clothing looks that are bright and fun, but sometimes they'll show wierd clothing looks that you'd be thinking you'd never wear in a million years. Other than that, for the rest of the features, there are makeup looks, and three or four extra articles that I find fun but dont affect me. There's the Get Real section, where they have a short story about one girl who makes a difference in one important area of life. They also have a letter from one of the CG! workers on a troubled area of her life and how she dealt with the issue. Then there's Project 2024, where an article is featured in every issue on a famous person who makes a difference and tells you secrets for success. There is the guys section, where they have eye candy, 2 or 3 feature stories that help you out in situations in your relationship, and love stories that are just fun to read. There's the Body and Soul section where this mainly focuses on health and exercise. And the CG! look, that features TONS of makeup and beauty secrets. This magazine is one of the best out there, don't let this magazine slip you if you're looking for a good one!

Good Teen Magazine
I like Cosmo Girl magazine, but I do not like it as much as Seventeen magazine. Here are the Pros and Cons.
Very Realistic
Compared to all the other teen magazines I have read/subscribed to (Teen People, Seventeen, Elle Girl, Teen Vogue, GL) CosmoGirl is the one you can relate to the most. Instead of showing a lot of clothes and makeup, it focuses on your inner beauty. There are many articles about real life that is relateable (like The Culture of the Rich). It features many articles that focuses on making the world a better place (like The Power of Change). I particularily love the Body & Soul section, where they feature articles about how to eat right, and a monthly workout. ... Read more

I Like It
The articles are fun & I've learned alot of useful information, like last month's article on depression - the fish oil & exercise worked almost immediately. It's not a professional or academic journal - if you're a general person on the street, you will learn a lot about psychology.

Not a Journal
I would have to agree with the preivous comments that state that this magazine isn't worthy of its title. I subscribed before reading review, I was hoping to find an affordable psychology-based read, though some stories are interesting I'm sure I'd be able to find them in other magazines like Vogue or Cosmo. and there is plenty of ads, probably more than stories. And much like other reviewers When I first ordered it, it took forever for the first issue to arrive, now its more regular but my subscription will soon end with no renewal of course!

Fun, Valuable, Interresting but not an APA Journal
If you are looking for the quality of an APA journal, this is not one.But if you love the field of psychology as I do, it's a fun and relevant periodical. Kind of a Enquirer of Psychology.I find it a fun read when I'm relaxing, but be careful of their interpretation of research.You know how that can go.It's also got a flavor of Maxim or Cosmo type topics.Sex, relationships, dating, what do men/women like as well as diet/nutrition.Overall recommended. ...
