Sports Afield

I love this magazine, if you are looking to eventually go to Africa, AK, or Europe for hunting this is a great magazine without being snooty or making you feel like you will never relate with the article that are written. The one word of advice, as with most magazines there are some great offer to subscribe or renew just keep your eyes open. Many times they will offer buy 1 give a gift for 2/3 off or free (good quality) gifts, or significant discounts...

A high class sports magazine. Great articles and stories. Pictures are stunning. Even the ads are eye catching, I will surely renew.

I wished a was able to find a copy of S.A. before I got a subscription. The S.A. that I knew this is not. The best features of this magazine have been stripped away. I can't wait for my subscription to end, and I just received my first copy. There are much better hunting magazines out there, wish I had the time to list them.

Daedalus - Journal of the American Academy of Arts & Science

I'm surprised there are no other reviews of this important journal. As the main journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, it can be said that no other periodical quite fills its niche. Bringing together articles on a vast array of topics by the best minds in their fields it has been a journal that has not only been a forum for discussing current trends and issues in the arts and sciences but also forecasting and predicting them too. I refer to one of my favorite issues, which was devoted to The Report of the Committee on the Year 2000, which came out in the late 60s, and brought together a panel of distinguished scholars and scientists who attempted to extrapolate current trends forty years into the future. It was a great issue and may have been the genesis of Daniel Bell's The Coming of Post Industrial Society (Bell was chosen as the sociologist of the group), published many years later in 1976. Bell correctly predicted the information age, the service economy, a de-emphasizing of industrialism, the expansion of knowledge workers (especially in biology and the hard sciences), the increasing role of women in the work force, and other trends in this seminal work. But it may have all started in an issue of Daedalus. Overall, a journal that showcases the best and brightest minds of our civilization, often particularly with regard to those developments in the arts and sciences that are currently of interest to both the layman and the academic alike.

Evo - England

If you're here in the U.S., don't let that put you off reading this fantastic magazine just because you won't see a lot of American cars. This magazine is worth every cent (more on that later). And reading of the miriad great cars, from cheap thrills to supercars, that you can't get here will bring tears to your eyes. Renault making a giant killer little Chevy Aveo-sized hatchback with 197 horsepower and 18-inch wheels? Yes, it happens over there.

It is simply SO much more than you see in any U.S. car mag. It's BIG, both physically and in content, and written with the kind of thorough evaluation and engrossing, you'd-swear-you-were-right-there-with-them prose above any other (including CAR, my pervious favorite).

What makes it so good? Three main things. First, the writers, of course, many of them springing from the former Performance Car magazine. That sad publication declined in just about every way over it's lifetime until, at the time of it's demise, it wasn't worth the bother anymore. Oh, how they've redeamed themselves!

Second, the cars they write about. The focus is on performance; but not just super-exotics and, thank God, tuner cars (although the latter pop up now and then in an entirely appropriate way), but anything that stirs the driver's soul, even if it's a $10,000 little hatch with a zingy engine and giddy handling.

Third, the writing. EVO is much more biased toward subjective evaluation in favor of just spouting instrument test numbers (hello U.S. car magazines with pages and pages of minute and often uninteresting stats), and their data panels are concise and have just enough information to be thorough without a bunch of fluff (brake swept area? Come on, Road and Track, who cares?).

The best example by far is their annual car of the year issue. Yes, everyone does these, but no one does it like EVO. It's much more free-form, much more subjective, and much, much more fun to read. Rather than evaluate each car in a distinct portion, it reads more like a road adventure with drivers swapping cars and really letting you know how each is to drive.

Frankly, you get the impression that EVO doesn't give a squat if one car pulls .89g on a skidpad while a competitor pulls .87g. What you're much more likely to read is how each car *feels* when that grip is being used, and used to the limit. Hard numbers matter less than true driving fun, which is why you might find the handling of a little hatchback rated above a wide tired monster's.

They do provide plenty of performance data, but the big difference is they don't get caught up in it. You'll find it's more important how a car handles than how it grips, how effective it's brakes are over a long, hard drive rather than how many feet it takes to do a single stop, and how the car works with or against you to provide real fun. All done with engaging writing and wit.

I'll stop babbling now. :o) But I do want to conclude with one item mentioned in almost every review here price. It's cheaper to buy at a good bookstore. There is some convenience and peace of mind in having a subscription, but I'm baffled as to why British car mags are always more expensive to subscribe to than to buy off the shelf. EVO is still worth it, though.

This is my favourite car mag out there right now. It exceeds Car by miles in terms of writing quality. I only have to say one thing: It's cheaper to buy this at a local mega bookstore like Boarders than to buy this online. It costs $9.99/issue so a year would cost $120 plus tax. I thought getting a subscription should SAVE YOU MONEY, not make you PAY MORE!!!

Printed on premium quality paper with high-resolution printing and expensive ink. Seemingly unbiased reporting from editors with opinions which seem to closely parallel my own. Fantastic choice of cars. Great factual reporting.

And in the back of every issue: "The Knowledge"

The Knowledge is a huge table for hundreds of different cars giving such data as price, weight, 0-60 and various other very useful comparison points.

Jethro Bovingdon. Richard Meaden. Harry Metcalfe. Who are these men? Has it ever been important, even plausible that the reader would desire to not only know the names of, but get to know an automobile journalist? These exceptional men are not just magazine editors (Although Harry, and now Jethro, do hold that title), but the guys out there in the trenches putting the rubber to pavement, driving some the world's best vehicles to 9/10ths and telling you the absolute truth about their performance, handling, and day to day livability.

The MotorTrend so called "Car of the Year"? Fuggedabouit!

The EVO "Car of the Year" actually requires someone to have driven the car before handing it an award. To have driven it HARD.

I started reading EVO a little over 3 years ago. To be honest, at the time the initial appeal was the larger form factor (larger than any U.S. car magazine) and breathtaking full-page photography. However, it only took a short while to realize I was holding in my hand the gold-standard for automotive journalism. The on road and on track reviews in each issue, the hard-hitting interviews with the newsmakers, designers and industry leaders that are responsible for the direction of automotive performance, and the unique British sensibility and the pleasure of seeing a $500,000 supercar struggle on a classic B-road, put them together and you have the best English-language car magazine published in the world today.

I remember one time expressing to a female friend how EVO posseses not only incredible technical acumen--some of the most accurate road tests in the business--but nearly every issue embodies some of the finest prose put to page in _any_ monthly journal. It just so happend in that months issue there was a particularly moving passage from Harry Metcalfe on a group of Ferrari's that were being road tested. The beauty of Mr. Metcalfe's evocative language could bring a tear to any car lover's--even a grown man's--eye. With such automotive passion, is it any wonder that Sir Harry went on to own a 512TR himself? And how many auto journalist live with (and pay for!) the exotic cars they test and so readily praise?

Every month this magazine covers the creme of performance oriented automobiles, many of which are only available in Europe or the UK. From the Renault Megane to the Pagani Zonda, EVO will give an accurate, thorough review of it's performance in both on track and real world driving conditions. Due to their location in Europe, and their extensive connections throughout the car world, EVO often travels to Australia or even Africa to see some of the best sedans, coupes, convertibles and exotics in their native or not so native environment. How does a Rolls Royce fair under the harsh conditions of Turkish roads? Find out in EVO!

You could buy EVO just for the pretty pictures and there are a lot of them. You could read it for the articles as some would be wont to do. Combined, with its superior prose and gorgeous photos, there can be no higher recommendation for car enthusiasts than EVO magazine.

Want Evo - England Discount?

To those of you who are sceptable concerning British car magazines, as an enthusiast I must say British magazines are plain better than American automotive magazines, maybe in exception to Car and Driver. But evo magazine is easily the best of them. No one can match evo's articles, stories, comparisons, special cover stories (such as Performance Car of the Year and Trackday Car of the Year), photography that no one else can match, and everything else you'd want from an automotive magazine. In short, evo magazine is brilliant. My only complaints is that their acceleration times are almost always about 1/2 second off (which is an extremely small problem, a problem that is forgiven by everything else that is given in this magazine) and a price tag that is higher than any other I've seen. Buying from America, I spend about $10 per issue, but let me tell you, it's worth it. No doubt evo is the best automotive magazine out there, and it is worth the money. Well... only if you're very interested in cars. Just don't expect to find any rednecks in their 4x4s in the mud.

Rubberstampmadness - Rubber Stamp Madness

This is the oldest art rubber stamp magazine still publishing (National Stampagraphic went under a few years ago) and it doesn't show it's age. For the latest news on various techniques, conventions, stamps and accessories, this is the place that the majority of rubber stampers (if not all) turn to for advice.

That's because in addition to rubber stamp art, there are profiles of stampers, examples of mixed media (collage, copier) art and catalog reviews of stamp companies, There's a convention list. There's an area where you can post mail art calls as well as an area to request pen pals or find various rubber stamp essentials.

And for the vast majority of rubber stampers, this _is_ an essential magazine. If you're interested in rubber stamp art, this magazine is the best place to start on the inky trail. Buy this subscription and be prepared to forget about dinner when the magazine is delivered it's that absorbing.

RSM is a magazine that keeps me updated on innovations in the stamping genre. The instructions are easy to follow, and the examples are eye-catching and great to browse.

The reviews of the rubber stamping websites are very informative, as are the reviews of new products and publications. Plus, their website has links to their advertisers, so I can leave my magazine in my reading area, and still browse the links from my computer!

Plane & Pilot (1-year auto-renewal)

Flying a plane is one of my frustrations, and Flight Simulator is as close as I can get to real flying. However, this magazine puts me in touch with what goes on out there, and it makes me feel like one of the lucky few who can actually own/fly a plane. I've been reading Plane and Pilot since the mid 90s and I still anticipate the arrival of each new issue.

This magazine is great for a person just starting out getting their license or an experienced one who flies for a living. I've enjoyed this magazine for years and find it is a great resource with various articles that cover a wide variety of topics in today's flying world! What is really good are the write ups regarding different flight schools as well as interviews with various people in the industry on subjects like safety, training and weather issues.

Coping With Allergies & Asthma

Good information, but not a real "glossy" magazine. A little thin, I think (there's a lot more that could be included)

After reading the first couple of issues that I received, I did have some questions for my allergist.

Written for the lay person.

Wish it came out more frequently.

This is the perfect magazine for the nail polish lover. The trends are easy to understand and incorporate. Tutorials are easy to follow. The pictures are gorgeous.

Vanity Fair July 2007 Africa Issue, Angelou/Madonna Cover

If you are a Madonna fan or just worried about our planet's future, you must have this edition of Vanity Fair. Interesting interviews and tips on how help save the planet.

Kent Family History Society Journal

As current Editor of this Journal, I thoroughly recommend to all those climbing their family tree with roots in the County of Kent (UK), lots of information in each issue, and once you have subscribed, the chance to have your interests published in a future edition as well as the chance to ask for help in your research.

Nasa Tech Briefs

NASA undertakes a lot of research each year. This journal is an attempt to publicise the findings, in the hope that some companies might be interesting in licensing and commercialising them.

Typically, the research involves materials science. Advanced composites. Or the manufacturing of compounds under microgravity. Or perhaps the design of rad-hard circuitry. Maybe an occasional paper on the biological sciences. But mostly, NASA's needs are so specialised that commercial markets are limited.

Perhaps worth it for you to keep an eye on this journal.

The Weekly Telegraph is a treat each week. Whether you are a UK ex-pat, otherwise interested in UK affairs, or want a different perspective on world events the Weekly Telegraph is for you. While it may seem a bit pricey for an annual subscription, the money is well spent especially if you want a real paper in your hands rather than trying to read your news of a screen.

Bead & Button

This is a wonderful magazine with a variety of projects, from seed bead work to simple stringing. Simple directions help ease the process of creation, and a glossary is available for true beginners. I find a project that grabs me immediately in each issue, and often look through past months for inspiration.

Great magazine, but the one-year subscription (six issues) is much cheaper if purchased directly from the Publisher. Sorry, Amazon, you need to update your pricing on this one!

I have been a subscriber for many years. This is my favorite beading magazine. I do not enjoy stringing, so the easier bead stringing magazines do not appeal to me. However, Bead & Button has such a variety of projects and techniques, that it will appeal to most everyone. As an advanced seed bead technique lover, I find so much inspiration in this magazine. Typically I find 4 7 projects per issue that I MUST try out. They have a reader's gallery where you can send in photos of your work. Excellent directions that are easy to follow, even for the most complicated pieces. Great magazine. Highest recommendation. I save all my copies and return to them frequently.

I stopped my subscription to Bead and Button because over the years it seemed to gravitate more and more to beading as a means for personal adornment. Each issue was awash in how to bead necklaces, bracelets, pendants, etc. as opposed to beading for visual art sake. I am very interested in Native beading as well as "bead paintings, " beading on cloth or canvas, and artists such as Mimi Holmes, Joyce Scott, Ken Tisa, etc. While Bead and Button has had some great articles in the past, they seemed to become fewer and fewer over the recent years making a subscription, at least for one not particularly interested in jewelry, not worth the cost.

Arizona Highways Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

I have only been to Arizona one time, but this magazine takes me back there and makes me long for a return trip. Every month when I receive an issue, I am able to relax in its beauty, for this magazine has some of the most astonishing photographs of any magazine I have ever read.

But it's not just the photos that make this a good buy. Stories of local natives and their history, wonders of geology, hiking excursions and even a few pages of humor make for a well-rounded and enjoyable magazine.

A good purchase for anyone wanting to learn more about, or longing to return to, Arizona.

I read much on southwestern history and quite an amount of that history happened in and around Arizona Territory and since 1912, the state of Arizona. Much of the 19th century Indian Wars, with U.S. cavalry and Apache clashing with each other, centered in Arizona too. So, from my readings in Arizona Highways, I had planned to retire in Arizona, but things turned out differently. Though I now live retired in Virginia, I continue to receive Arizona Highways every single month and would not wish to be without it.

Though the magazine has experienced several editorial changes of late, the magazine still continues to be very readable. In addition the yearly calendars published by Arizona Highways are a high point for me too. For years I had bought only a monthly calendar, but have recently started getting the day-by-day desk calendar as well. Very useful and very practical.

The letters column each month shows few if any that do not appreciate Arizona Highways, and this magazine's photographic appeal experiences a worldwide distribution. Some only read and appreciate it as I have done for years, others vacation there, while a fortunate few actually relocate there.

Whatever use you make of it, Arizona Highways, is a terrific magazine with pictorial views into a picturesque state, while at the same time offering great travel tips.

They did send me a check for issues I never received. It is a very good magazine, but it is much easier and less frustrating to buy directly off the newsstand. Wal-Mart carries the magazine, so I can obtain the magazine on a regular basis.

I subscribed to Crappie World for four years. The previous post is correct. They will send you a subscription renewal notice about every three months...even when you just renewed! They promise all kinds of free stuff for renewing. I haven't received anything yet. Deceptive trade practices at best. And yes, your mailbox will runeth over with junk mail. I'd love to subscribe again but I'm not willing to do business with that kind of folks.

There is a lot of good info in the publication. However, they often try to test the bounds of extreme fishing techniques (and practicality) as some of the articles are off the wall. Tim Huffman's parts are always good down-to-earth advise that can actually work. Wish he'd hook up with a more reputable publication.

Domus - Italy

I have enjoyed every issue of Domus that I've ever seen that's the reason my girlfriend ordered me a subscription for christmas. Now it is almost May, and over four months since the initial order was placed. I have yet to receive my first issue. My girlfriend has called several times, to which Amazon's [normally helpful] staff reply that "it is probably in the mail" and we shouldn't cancel the order. Sheesh! None of the customer service reps have been able to track the order. They claim they will call back, but we don't hear from them.

And what on earth is "please allow 6-8 weeks"?? We have allowed 6-8 weeks for order processing, another 6-8 for delivery. By the time I receive my first issue the featured projects will have been built, published, withered away, and torn down!! Instead of complaining, we should probably cancel our order, but knowing what a great magazine I'll be missing (and how dependable Amazon normally are) makes me believe them and continue to wait.

Domus is without a doubt one of the most beautiful magazines I have ever seen, but Amazon's negligence is damaging to it's credibility. Proceed with caution!!

Why else would we spend so much on a magazine unless we absolutely loved it?

Also, in response to the other review: I've had many problems with the magazine subscriptions through Amazon in the past (we have like 5 with Amazon) but it's all going pretty well now.

Bassmaster (1-year auto-renewal)

I wanted to brush up on my fishing so I subscribed to this publication. After reading a few issues it I found myself not really enjoying reading it. The fishing tips slim are at best and and a good deal of the magazine was not really about improving fishing. After you read a few issues they start repeating them self.

The final straw came when I received a DVD that I did not request from Bass Master that if not return would start a DVD subscription! The same day I canceled my subscription! Save yourself the aggravation don't subscribe!

Bass angler magazine and flw magazine along with in fisherman are much better. Bass uses it as a marketing tool to sell more fishing stuff and promote their products. One of their features is a small piece on "4-5 lures I never leave to fish without" and some pro names each lure and most often each lure is made by berkly or strike king,etc. Give me a break! Insulting.

When Bassmaster first came out back in the early seventies it was more lure oriented and less contests between "Pros." Now days the "pros" are only the dudes with a few sponsors and the cash for playing with a big boat. Gone are the skills necessary to enjoy the sport like How to make the morning coffee before the first cast of the day. The How Too articles are few and it is mostly about egos of the young guys catching bank runners. Guys like Bill Dance, Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston and Uncle Homer are not featured or have their knowledge shared in its pages. I subscribed after finding other better things to occupy my time but now that I have more time sitting on the dock, I was hoping to find it more entertaining. It isn't but it is all that is out there.

Read Best Reviews of Bassmaster (1-year auto-renewal) Here

Bassmaster is a magazine about fishing and it likes to boast that it is the "Worldwide Authority on Bass Fishing". This magazine divides its focus among different areas, like finding/fishing for bass, buying the best equipment, and keeping pace with the different sporting tournaments that focus on bass fishing.

I spend very little time participating in outdoor sports but I have been known to cast a reel over an expanse of water on an infrequent occasion. With Bassmaster, consumers like me can quickly get the information needed to find places to fish for bass. There is also plenty of tips and advice from Bassmaster magazine and from fishing professionals. They clue you in on the right environment and weather conditions for bass fishing, the best equipment to use, and the most effective lure to improve your chances for landing that prized catch.

Bassmaster is like other sporting magazines in many ways, but it differs a little from other fishing magazines, mainly in its coverage of the sport of bass fishing. Part of the reason for the emphasis on sports is Bassmaster's affiliation with sports authority ESPN. ESPN is the main reason the sporting aspect gets the amount of coverage in Bassmaster that it does and it helps make the magazine that much better to read.

Bassmaster is loaded with different departments and among all the magazines I read each month, Bassmaster probably has more departments than any other publication of similar length. The departments are shortusually covering only one page eachbut they offer some of the magazine's best and easiest to read material. Departments like "Ask the Experts", "Bass Basics", and others are good for finding some quick information on fishing and how to make it more enjoyable and more successful. I like the Destinations section, too, because it offers some information on lakes and rivers that would make good choices for vacationing as well as fishing.

I don't fish very often and I'm not someone that would be classified as an outdoorsman, but I still like Bassmaster magazine. It offers some good writing and compelling articles about bass fishing, both as a casual hobby and as a competitive sport. If someone like mea person who doesn't even fish very muchcan find reasons to enjoy reading a magazine like Bassmaster, just think of how much a true fan of this activity will like this publication. It's one of the better fishing magazines and it makes a good choice of gift for a dedicated fisherman; offering plenty of good reading each month all for a low subscription cost.
