Farm & Ranch Living

This is a great magazine that gives the reader great ideas in the workings of a small farm or ranch. A very good overall go-to publication to learn new skills and ideas about what works and what doesn't.

We subscribed for several years and then as we cut back on expenses, we let this lapse. Well, we missed it so that we subscribed once again after four years. Oh, how we missed it. It has very interesting diaries from different family farms and a person can see how life is out on the farm and beautiful photos. When we received our new first issue, my husband said he read it word for word, cover to cover and that's the first time in a very long time that he could say that about a magazine!

Boundary Waters Journal

Great magazine, and I read it upon arrival, and can't wait for the next one. Excellent pictures and stories of wilderness camping and fishing

I read each issue cover to cover as soon as it arrives. Great tips for my next treks, interesting stories on people, new ideas on where to go, how to travel, what to pack, new and proven gear, old gear that still works, how to fish. I've sent gift subscriptions to new Eagle Scouts with whom I've trekked the BWCAW. I can't say enough good about this magazine!

The Bark

Bark is not a how-to-care-for-your-dog magazine. It's a magazine about living with dogs. It has fascinating articles about the lives of dogs and people with dogs. It has history of dogs and poems about dogs and interviews with dog trainers and sheep herders and canine rescue squads ... If you want the latest pet grooming tricks, you won't find it here, but if you want insight into what dogs mean to people and what people mean to dogs, this is your magazine. Charming, touching, smart and simply wonderful.

The Bark is by far the greatest magazine for dog lovers ever printed! Insightful articles, essay, stories, and artwork keep you waiting eagerly for the next issue. They cover health, training, home decorating, entrepreneurs, absolutely everything! And maybe most importantly, the Bark does not cater to breeders or exploiters. Instead of advertisements for kennels, they promote shelters and spay/neuter programs. No AKC elitists here! Every dog counts. And if you are looking for the lastest and greatest pet products, their advertisers have the most original and unusual things to be found anywhere. This magazine focuses on human relationships with the dogs that share our world, housepets to service dogs. When each new issue arrives (and there aren't enough!) we make popcorn for ourselves and for our dogs and the we all hit the couch for the entire evening. If you have one dog, no dog, or many, this is the quintessential reading for any person who has ever loved a canine!

I am a new subscriber, have received two issues so far. This is a fascinating magazine, beautifully laid out, and well written. In the first issue I received (which I have now read almost cover-to-cover, something I Never do with magazines), there were articles about Dog rescue in Asia, the science of the historical relationship between Dogs and their humans, emotional vignettes about the love between Dogs and humans and so much more.

I like the reviewer who likened this magazine to the New Yorker about Dogs. The first issue was chock-full of everything from useful tips to weepy stories to fascinating science.

I made an effort to cancel all of my magazine subscriptions recently, simply because I do not have the time to read them all. This one will remain. In fact, I may start archiving this magazine-it is that good! All of our guests inevitable pick up the magazine, drawn by the crisp graphics, and retained by a healthy variety of reading.

Obviously, I am a fan. I have barely started the second issue, but from skimming the articles, I have full faith that I will not be disappointed.

Subscribe and enjoy!

This is an extremely "well rounded" magazine! I thoroughly enjoy every issue. Bark covers all issues concerning dogs. From articles on veterinary issues, understanding your dogs behaviour, dog gear....and outstanding well written short stories and articles written by people about their dogs and how they have impacted their lives. Very enjoyable reading....from cover to cover.

I highly recommend Bark. If you get your "paws" on your first copy, you will definitely look forward to the next.

This magazine is a nice alternative to Dog Fancy or purebred-centered publications. It contains rescue-related stories and gives mutts equal time. The writers are witty and interesting, and there aren't terrible breeder ads in the back. A good choice for those of us that spay/neuter our dogs and aren't involved in showing.

Guns & Ammo (1-year auto-renewal)

GUNS & AMMO has been a part of the shooting scene in the USA for decades now. It's sort of the industry standard for people like me who are interested in shooting, collecting and reading about what's new in the field.

If you enjoy plinking, target shooting, hunting and collecting, you'll enjoy GUNS & AMMO. It is marketed toward the general shooting public.

Its authors keep track of new rifles, pistols, shotguns, scopes and related optics. Its illustrations are first class and the authors who contribute to GUNS & AMMO have always impressed me with their knowledge of the field.

Precision shooters, cast bullet shooters, military collectors, black powder shooters, cowboy action shooters, competitive shooters and law enforcement have other publicactions which are more specialized and tightly focused. GUNS & AMMO, however, always seems to have something of interest even to many of these more specialized members of the shooting public.

I like GUNS & AMMO and I gave it five stars.

Shortly after ordering Guns & Ammo at what I thought was the best price I discovered that the card inside the magazine offers a better price. I tried canceling the order with Amazon nine hours after I placed it but it was too late. I'm simply posting this so others will know that you can get Guns & Ammo for $10 per year via the card in the magazine.

Guns and Ammo

Out of all the gun magazines out there, I believe that Guns and Ammo (G&A) is the best. I'm getting a subscription for my stepson this Christmas ( I'll get it sent to me so that I can read it first and then give it to him each month),

Highly recommended for gun enthusiasts.

Everything is the best, but nothing is the worst in this magazines opinon. All of the firearms are great, none of them are bad. They never have any side by side reviews either. What they do have is alot of advertisements. At least one half of the magazine is junk mail.

W

This magazine has excellent fashion photography. Mostly this is in the form of advertisements, which take up the first 175 pages and many more throughout. The pages are almost twice the size of a standard magazine, which leaves room for more artistic ads. The articles, I find hard to relate to or take seriously. To me, they seem more like tabloid tales of sordid love affairs and over-hyped parties than any kind of actual informative articles. For a magazine that is touted as a fashion industry standard, I expected to see many more articles about fashion, styles, and designers rather than Hollywood gossip. The photographs and fashion advertisements really are great, and I believe they would be the most useful aspect of this magazine for people interested in fashion.

I guess if you're one of those lucky people who has more money and time than they know what to do with, W is for you. This magazine focuses mostly on rich people, the clothes they buy, and the parties that they attend. I'm not just talking celebrities, either. If that was the case, then perhaps W would be onto something. But no... W prefers to devote at least half their articles to spotlighting people like Eugino Lopez, "heir to the vast Jumex juice fortune." And then they tell us about their beachfront properties, glittering social circles, and $1,700 Louis Vuitton Murakami purses. I don't know about you, but anyone who is willing to pay that much for something that looks like an embossed leather Hot Pocket isn't worth paying $4.50 to read about.

This magazine is the absolute best around for fashion. It hits every huge and upcoming trend way before it comes out. A lot of people seem to be griping about how expensive everything is and how you can only be a millionaire to dress like that. However I love this magazine not for the fact that its chock full of expensive designer clothes, but for the styles and fantastic outfits themselves. There are a million ways to use ideas from this magazine and work them into your wardrobe. There are plenty of cheaper options like vintage clothing stores and customizing sale itemsall to get the coveted designer look that W illustrates with absolute perfection. I'm a poor college student and even though I'm not in fashion design, I use W all the time and make clothes that are deadringers for alot of the ones featured in W. I even used a couple dresses in this very magazine and copied them into two different prom dresses. Its suprisingly more simple than one would think. This magazine is an essential for me. The rest of them can not and will not ever be able to measure up to W, because W has the inside connections to show you (in gigantic glossy spreads neverless!)whats hot before it hits mainstreamand I don't mean small town mainstream, I mean beating the styles and having them before they even reach a mall and lightyears before they turn into a hoochie-craze (a la "LV" mukrami bags!) and fake Tiffany's silver. If you are a young woman who loves to call the trends before anyone else, do yourself a favor and pick up this magazine. I guarentee you that if you keep an open mindit will be one of your best buys yet.

"W" magazine is such an important staple in the world of fashion, that even guys like me can't help but read it. To call this a women's magazine would really be unfair, for it offers in-depth articles on the fashion industry, profiles on celebrities, and an excellent supplement for men published on a quarterly basis. This men's supplement offers fashion info that's hip and contemporary, but not trendy enough to spook the average American male. As with all fashion magazines, "W" could feature more models of color on their cover, but that's a relatively small gripe compared to the wealth of good stuff this magazine offers. Overall, bravo the folks at "W" a job well done!

I don't look at this magazine and go "boy I can't WAIT to read the atricles inside!". Instead, when I buy it I look for the advertisements. I love the oversized pages and the photography is wonderful. I have the walls of my room adorned in ads from this magazine. They are splinded. The articles however are lacking a little. They are almost impossible to find because there are so few, and the ones they do have are just pointless.

Fhm - Uk Edition

I've had the opportunity to read this magazine while being depployed to Basra, Iraq with the British military. Every issue that came out at the NAAFI store I took up the chance to buy it. This magazine is nothing short of amazing. It is much better than the American version that was unfortunately discontinued. Its filled with hilarious articles and beautiful women. I just wish it didn't cost so damn much to subscribe to the states. If you get the chance to stop by a local Barnes & Noble pick up an issue and check it out. You won't regret it I promise!

Amazon Charges about over $120 for this Subscription than directly ordering from FHM.com But , I do love this over Maxim since Maxim UK Edition has been canceled. I like "British" magazines better because United States Magazine are very prudish just like our TV Networks & Magazines. The one star is for the price Amazon charges alone.

New York Times - National Edition

If you are trying to find the perfect gift for one of the intelligent, hard-to-gift persons on your list, a subscription to the New York Times may be a well-received solution.

I had requested a subscription to the New York Times for every occasion (birthday, Christmas, Valentines, etc.) for the past three years, and every year until Christmas 2005, my family and friends disregarded the paper as an odd, if not un-giftable, item to request. Fortunately, my fiance's mother and sister decided to go into a 12-week subscription together. I look forward to Sunday mornings as though each one were a new Christmas. The blue plastic bag in the drive way is a cause for celebration each week-end morning. After the first 12 weeks of the year, I became so accustomed to my week-end ritual of the paper, coffee and Meet the Press that I made room in my own budget to include the price of the subscription.

I prefer the New York Times over other news publications for a very simple reason: it is written to my level and I never feel as though the writers are talking down to me or simplifying the story. I have heard cries of liberal bias concerning this publication, especially the editorials, but when I read this paper, I get the sense that they really want me to know and understand all sides to a story. Few newspapers devote space to complete copies of primary documents (speeches, proposed bills and amendments, etc.) like the New York Times consistently does and this allows me to make up my own opinion on the issues.

News is well researched and balanced, and I especially like their columnists such as Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Bob Herbert, and Maureen Dowd. In addition there is the excellent weekly NYT Book Review, and the occasional scoop eg. the NSA spying flap.

Don't miss the science section published each Tuesday.

The New York Times gives you great stories in depth from around the world. It is the detailed stories and some investigative stories that you can't find anyplace else that are so refreshing to read. Compared to the screaming cable news shows, the news presented in the NYT and WSJ is so much better and more complete that it almost takes your breath away. You will say to yourself "why did I waste my time watching those crazy cable news (really entertainment) shows that are so uninformative?" If most Americans get their news from the TV as I am told they do, then we have dark days ahead. Our society will become less enlightened and less caring.

The New York Times is America's best newspaper. Instead of the short articles found in most newspapers, the Times is full of detailed articles on all subjects -not only news, but science (and the science articles are accurate and don't speak down to the intelligent layman), books, entertainment, and so on. It is also still the paper of record -the place to go to for the text of major speeches, not just the highlights. Finally, it has good, in-depth analysis and feature/guest columnists. If you only read one paper, the Times should be it (though it'll take you twice as long to read as most papers and probably four times as long to read as USA Today).

Most people know whether they want to read the NY Times or not. This is a review of the Kindle edition. Besides the crossword puzzle, the Kindle edition lacks ads (yea!), classifieds and paid death notices (okay by me), political cartoons (tant pis), and many photographs and charts (but not all). While I've tried to find cheaper Kindle alternatives (and they exist), nothing compares to the NY Times for news coverage, especially if you're a resident of New York State and lack a good local newspaper (in print format or on-line). The lack of photos is usually only a problem in the Home, Science, and Style sections when you're trying to make sense of articles that frequently reference them. The inclusion of political cartoons should be fixable (is anyone listening?). I really appreciate being able to skim the tables of contents to each section so that I can do triage and properly plan how much time I can devote to reading the paper each day. I also like being able to easily read an article to completion without having to hunt out its conclusion in another section. One other improvement I'd like to recommend is that the NY Times editors provide readers with a word count for each article, as so many Kindle papers and magazines do, so I can decide if I have the time to read it before beginning my workday or postpone it until I have more time. This seems like an easy fix and something Kindle readers should be able to expect, given the price of the subscription. (The progress bar at the bottom of the Kindle screen, by the way, doesn't monitor the reader's progress through individual articles, but rather through sections of the paper...not very valuable from my perspective.) One other observation--inexplicably sometimes a news article (often an obituary) gets dropped from the Kindle edition. This doesn't seem intentional, but it happens. But all in all, I'm very happy reading the NY Times on my Kindle.

PS, for those who miss the Puzzle, the Kindle does offer some free word games you can download.

Truck Model World

Too bad we can't get a cool pub like this in the US. With the emphasis on Brit/Euro trucks its appeal may not be happening for every truck modeler in the States.

There are enough US vehicles to make it worthwhile for me,plus the craftsmanship is superb on most models.

It also helps to see what other modelers are doing, not to mention the Brit/Euro aftermarket that is available.

Subscribing bring the price down to a reasonable amount,plus it comes in a poly bag to prevent folding,spindling and mutilating by the USPS.

Recomended to global truck modelers.

Ps,the customer service in the States is outstanding,thank you!!!!

Frankie - Australia

I've been looking for a magazine that has a particular aesthetic feel to it.. a little crafty, but not too pastel-looking, graphically organic, but not too 'DIY' feeling. When I visited Australia, I was looking through the book store and found this magazine and grabbed it immediately!! It's a great magazine filled with beautiful simple layout design and great information on Australian/European talent. If I had to compare, Nylon Magazine would be like Urban Outfitters and Frankie Magazine would be like Anthropologie (shopping-wise). I just wish that Frankie Mag would deliver to the states at a lower price. :( But other than that, I'm hooked!!

to this magazine! its got some great articles in there... great for an easy read too...

even if its to read something by mia timpano its worth buying..... good for a laugh!

for anyone wanting a magazine with a bit more substance than cosmo
