A very informative newspaper!
No mater what other amazonians are saying, i still belive that this is the best newspaper for the money it costs.Maybe it is here is England, but I''m not not sure about you people from the other side of the lake think.I think it's a very good newspaper with lots of informative articles and really good sports pages!
The extreme Leftist Line kills it
The 'Guardian' on the surface appears to be precisely what a good news magazine should be. It has skilled writers who supply informative reports and analysis. I often have enjoyed its book- reviews.
Buy with caution
Great information - when it arrives. Like a London bus some weeks you get no copy some you get two. When you ring to complain (which I have 3 times in the last 6 weeks) they have no record of your previous complaints, they blame the US post, they dont reply to requests to speak to a superior, and they wont credit you an extra copy. Basically taking no responsibility. I've had it. I'm discontinuing my subscription. There's so much you can get online why should anyone put up with old technology. ... Read more

Though Modern Painters has fallen off a bit, it still is one of the two best art magazines out there
Along with Parkett, Modern Painters remains one of the two 'must read' art magazines of the day. It has undergone two vast transformations over the last five years. Back in around 2001 it turned into a quarterly magazine and for the next four years it produced exceptional content. Just about every article was thoughtful and full of insights. On top of that they had a first rate callaber of gallery reviewers who highlighted the best shows of the quarter.
Beware!
I only recieved 4 out of 6 issues from my subsciption... inquiries to publisher go un-answered... ummm... except for mailings asking me to "renew now!" Gee guys, No Thanks! BEWARE!

Sad Decline
I bought this magazine faithfully every month. Then it changed and was a different product altogether. Poorly printed on dull paper, and unexciting with much less information. It was very disappointing change. An not worth the money it costs. I hardly ever buy it any more. ... Read more

Great Magazine. I have read it for years, just as I will visit mytravelscenes.com regularly
I was surfing the net and I happened upon this site.It is obviously a amatures site, but it is chock full of valuable information.The photos on the site were vivid and intriguing.Not to mention that this site actually has links available for use when I was ready to book my travel.I discovered things to do in my destination location prior to leaving the comfort of my home and well in advance of taking my trip.As a long time traveler I highly recommend this site to any and everyone who travels.So give them a chance they are at http://www.mytravelscenes.com
terrible
This is one of the worse magazines I have picked up in years.If you have "money to burn" traveling, then it might be for you.Loaded with advertising and little 'true' content.

A little perspective
A lot of reviewers share similar views, as seen in the recurrence of similar criticism of today's magazines.What these complaints also have in common is that they can tend to be fairly uninformed in regard to certain issues.First off, we all know that T+L is for "affluent travelers."Read the publisher's description, and it will tell you just that.So if you're not an affluent traveler, then don't waste your money on T+L and stick to Budget Travel.T+L occassionally has "affordable" stories, especially in their affordable issue in March.But don't expect the hotels to be to be under $200 a night.You know why?Because nowadays under $200 a night means you're a step above a youth hostal, especially in Europe where you pay an extra 20% on top of every dollar with today's exchange rate.The point is that T+L never positioned itself as an affordable travel mag, so to criticize its shortcomings in that respect is an invalid complaint.

Good reading for the outdoorsman (person)
If your looking for a degree in Wildlife management go to college and spend a bunch of money! If your looking for interesting reading material I would say this is my favorite outdoor magazine. By the way I am a student in Wildlife managemet and 99% of the time what they say is true. And the way they write it makes it so much nicer to read than text book!
Yuppified by the minute, yet stupider by the second
You would think that as the history of Field and Stream progresses and the editors and writers become high class city folk they would at least go to a college and learn to write intellegently.This magazine is full of nothing but opinions (not that i disagree with them, i just wished they sounded smart when voicing their thoughts).These writers have no background in wildlife management, yet give advice like they do.And if they do have a management background, I am glad i'm not getting my Wildlife Resource degree there.Field and Stream has became another tool of arguement.Readers yelling at writters and writters responding with cussing (no joke).The only joke here is field and Stream.Teaches nothing.Says nothing.Costs a lot. ...

Great resource- better than many books on the subject
I am a pediatrician with 2 ADHD children. Although I have alot of technical knowledge on the subject, I have found this magazine extremely helpful in terms of suggestions for problem-solving day-to-day issues, and keeping things in perspective (if they discuss the same problems we're having in amagazine, then the challenges my kids face and my less-than-perfect parenting are not failures of discipline and self-control- we're just part of the ADHD community!) Very straightforward, balanced, but mainstream viewpoint. Lots of practical articles about living with ADHD in all settings and behavioral/ cognitive interventions. Doesn't push medication, although it does provide information and tips on dealing with side-effects. Also light on coverage of alternative therapies. Plenty for both affected adults, teens and parents of ADHD children.

Overall a great magazine
This has been one of the most helpful magazines re ADD/ADHD issues that I have come across. Would encourage anyone who is touched by this issue to subscribe.

Best & easiest overall up to date ADHD info
I was diagnosed with ADHD shortly after my 7 yr son and immediately began to scour the Web for info. There is a lot of info but you have to take the time to find it - this magazine brings all of that info together in print and online in short easy to read (particularly to those of us with ADHD) format.I want to know all the latest info on ADHD and now I can without the previous time and effort required.Because there's no "cure" for ADHD, it's a daily struggle (even with medicine) to find what works for you to help you overcome the frustrations and limitations resulting from the condition.The magazine helps remind me that I'm not alone in my struggles and that many other people have faced and are facing the exact same struggles.There's a strange comfort in kowing that.And I've learned a lot of useful tips which help me keep the negative aspects of the condition in check while allowing the positive aspects to come out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this magazine!You will learn so much in each issue! ... Read more

Useful for Any Traveler
I go to a gym where people share their magazines, and came across this gem. While it focuses on value vacation packages, the benefit that I've gained from it is its list of 40 top vacation packages to destinations around the world. The magazine also offers an up-to-date web page describing even more places and bargains. It has really expanded my horizons about possible vacation spots. That alone is worth the reasonable cost.

Good and Useful Information
Frommer's Budget Travel always has something I can use - every month.Their 20 quick tips are great, the features are actually trips that can be taken without breaking the bank.2 thumbs up!

qualcon
Budget Travel is a quite a neat colorful magazine and is loaded with exotic far-away landscapes that do what they are designed to and give one a lift into dreamland. I also like some, not all, of their articles which tend to be well prepared and nicely written.

They lost me
I used to pick this up regularly until one issue featuring an article listing the most scenic places to defecate was written. I figured by that time, the editorial staff had just about scraped the bottom of the pit toilet not having anything better to write about. Still, there are some good trail write-ups from time to time. They'll have to work harder to get me back though.

This magazine has lost a bit in the past couple years....
This magazine used to be a great resource for hard core bakcpackers with articles about transcendent survival stories and epic backpacking opportunities all over the world.In the past couple years they have changed their format drastically and have focused on "regional" editions and over the top gadget and gear coverage for total gear-wonks.
great magazine but a bit too close to its advertisers
I look forward to Backpacker every month.It mixes practical trail information about hikes with feature stories, articles about gear, and always has great pictures.Most of the columnists and regular features are also interesting.I find one of them annoying, but I can live with that.

A magazine for mature (not old) men who work, play, and live but work for a living
Best Life is quite possibly the very BEST men's magazine I've ever encountered. It's not for metrosexuals. It's not for niche markets. It not designed to specifically market clothing or housewares so exorbinently priced that only the upper eschelon could (or would bother to) afford them.
Thoughtful, readable and interesting
I was expecting much worse when I saw Best Life on the shelf -- it sounded like yet another Maxim or Stuff. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the maturity of the articles that cover a good range of topics for 30-somethings and up. I can't think of a magazine that compares, unless you like Esquire (snore) or Details.

Must have !?
Going off the first review I read which was titled "No Thanks", I have to go out and get myself a copy. If it is anything like it was described, then I'll get a two year subscription.

The designs are over the top

Exciting
Cutting-edge floristry design ideas, demos and info. Really gets the creative juices flowing. Beautifully illustrated. From the center of the european floral industry, Belgium. Features award-winning guest artists, flower care, young talent, themes according to the season. I've never thrown an issue away! ... Read more

All Girls Should Read This!
I'm a senior in high school and I started reading New Moon when I was [...]Some reviewers have been writing that this magazine is somehow "innappropriate" for younger girls (because it talks about periods sometimes).I got my period when I was barely out of elementary school, and this magazine helped A LOT, since I was the first of my friends to get it.I can assure any parent who might be concerned that any information given in New Moon is appropriate for girls 8 and up.

It's pretty good
This magazine is good because most of the articles are written by girls. When I first got this magazine from the library, I thought everything was written by adults, but then I looked at the first page (I usually read magazines backwards.) This magazine features informative articles about cool things. Sure, it doesn't have anything about fashion,celebrities, or boys in it (most of the magazines I read do), but that's what makes it original. The only things about this magazine I didn't like is that in the letters to the editor, there were some very strange things. Like there was 1 letter about a "girl" who was transgendered and there were letters about girls who wanted anti-gay things to never be published in the magazine. New moon is also VERY expensive! It is $5.50 an issue! Plus tax! So, if you want to get this magazine, I reccomend getting it from the library like I did.

I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE!!!!!!!!
This magazine is really good, because it's supportive of women and girls. There are no models in this magazine, and a lot of people say it's sexist, but in my opinion, when a model is in a magazine that tell you to be yourself, isn't that kind of hypocritish? Besides, if you want to look at models or read about celebrity's you can always read the other magazines.

Only white people on the coast?
I had heard good things about this magazine and so ordered a sample.It is a lovely magazine, beautiful photos and it is interesting reading about "other coasts" (besides east and west).But, at least with the most recent issue, in every article about families or couples and their coastal homes the people were all caucasian.Even the advertisements had only white people (save for one about vacationing in Mexico that had some cute Mexican children in it).While I doubt this is intentional, I would encourage the publishers of this magazine to put their attention on this issue.There are plenty of people of color living on the coast who have interesting homes and lives that readers would enjoy learning about.

Enticing Photos and Great Articles
Coastal Living is a professionally- made magazine with lots of enticing photographs, personal stories, and general advice on making the most out of life on the coast. The emphasis in Coastal Living is on waterfront property and the events and entertainment that often take place in cities with a large coastal area.
From Decorating To Environmental Issues
You don't have to live on the coast to enjoy this magazine, you only have to love it. "Coastal Living" is informative and enjoyable reading that covers everything from decorating a beach home to getting involved with environmental causes.

Its all shell.
This magazine has great covers and gets your attention right away. I was was drawn to the cover because it claims to have great article inside, but the articles are very short and pointless. It was a good magazine few years back but now it just seems like they don't know what their doing.

Mens Fitness Magazine
I thought this particular magazine had been better than it initially looked.The website is much more informative than the magazine itself appears to be.Basically, if I had my choice I think I would cancel this subscription.
Lack of good customer service leaves bad taste
I used to pick this magazine up on a regular basis.I enjoyed the fitness tips and nutrion tips that were in the magazine.I also thought that the work out plans that were in the pages were excelent, especially for those of us that were beginners.

Very good magazine, interesting.
This magazine has good articles about golf and on golf instruction.The pictures on golf instruction are always very clear and not hard to follow.I think there are too many ads at times which I sometimes get tired of reading...
Nice illustrations for lessons
I really enjoy how they illustrate and break down their lessons into different playing abilities.Even though they break down the lessons into breaking 80, 90, 100, straight hitter looking for power or power hitter looking for accuracy, they are all very helpful. No matter what your playing ability, I think any golfer can take away a little bit of advice from the playing lessons. Unfortunately, Golf Magazine seems to be a little weak on their travel side lately though; not really focusing on that perhaps due to the downturn in travel in recent months.I wish they would focus on that a little more like some other magazines such as T&L golf or The Golfer.

The best of a big field
I've spent the last couple of months plowing through every golf magazine I could get my hands on, including Golf, Golf Illustrated, Golf Tips, and Stroke Savers to name a few.Golf Magazine, which has been around since 1959 and comes out monthly, is by far the best in terms of quality, content and presentation.While they all feature tips and lessons, Golf's photos are the most helpful to me, for instance showing stance, grip and frame-by-frame swing photos in separate boxes.I also find their paper quality and photos to be better, and their non-instructional articles to be more interesting.Add to that the fact that the magazine is published monthly, rather than a few times a year, and I believe it's the best deal for the money, especially as inexpensive as it is.Read more

A Great Find for a Parent/Teacher!
I think I have read at least one issue of almost every parenting, family, children, activity, teacher magazine there is...This one is by far the best I've read in a while!
finally a parenting magazine for me!
I have always avoided parenting magazines: with their crowded covers of life-or-death information, flash-in-the-pan expert pontificating (pacifiers are dangerous! not using pacifiers is dangerous!), buzz-word-loaded headlines, and frantic exclamation points, they are as unappealing to me as the local evening news. The inside of those magazines are just as scattered and hectic as their covers and, as a nanny, the articles themselves, primarily on life as a parent like getting your spouse to help out, sex after kids, how to get your groove back/feel hip, what toys to buy your childrennext, etc, were not really my niche anyway.
Just what I was looking for!
The title of this magazine caught my eye on the newstand - and I'm glad I bought the first issue! As a first time, new mom there were many articles that inspired and encouraged me. If you want to learn to journey with your children as they wonder about the world around them while understanding how they develop and teaching them, give this magazine a try!

WORST SERVICE/CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
I WAS SUBSCRIBED FOR A YEAR WHICH ENDED LAST MONTH, I ONLY RECEIVED 2 ISSUES, CALLED MANY TIMES TO COMPLAIN AND NO FAVORABLE ANSWER. OTHER MAGAZINES I ORDERED ARRIVED WELL. I WILL SAY WORST SERVICE, WORST CUSTOMER SATISFACTION, WORST SERVICE, AMAZON SHOULDN�T HAVE AS A PRODUCT.

I agree with Katty Estevez
I was also very disappointed to learn that the Spanish version of Reader's Digest does not cover the same articles as the English version. My wife' primary laguage is Spanish and I also was hoping to discuss the articles that we would read in the publication. Can anyone give us the reason for the decision by the company not to have mirror versions in English and Spanish?

Selecciones - why different from Reader's Digest?
When I suscribed to Selecciones I was under the impression that it would cover the same articles as the English version of Reader's Digest.I think Reader's Digest creates a disservice to spanish readers by offering a product that does NOT produce the same well known, widely read product to English language readers.I was very disappointed that the magazines covered different topics --when trying to discuss articles from a Reader's Digest magazine with my mother, who reads only in Spanish, hence only suscribes to Selecciones. Why not offer the same well known product with the same articles that appear in Reader's Digest?Though selecciones is a good magazine, I don't see why the clear separation of topics from one magazine to another. It is misleading to suscribers who are looking to read the Reader's Digest widely distributed product, when they're actually buying an inferior product. ... Read more

A great magazine. I'm always looking forward to reading it every month.

Triathlete Mag
This magazine has some good training tips and all but it does devote alot of space to high profile race results and what the pros are doing.I guess Im more interested in what I can do to improve, so I really dont care much about what the pros are doing all the time.There are alot of advertisments as well, which are good to a point, but they overdo it a little.
