Airstream Life

Every Airstream owner should be getting this magazine. There is a great variety of articles ranging from tectnical tips to Airstream history to places to go with your Airstream.

The magazine is printed on glossy stock with great photography. Advertisements are limited and Airstream related so that there is more information in this magazine for its size than the typical RV magazine.

I've been reading Airstream Life since it's beginning. I also read several other "RV" magazines. Airstream Life stands out among the crowd of "RV style" publishers.

The magazine is quality. This is not your standard flimsy paper magazine. Each issue is thick, perfect bound, and color throughout.

On top of the physical quality, what goes into the magazine is always interesting. It is a "cover to cover" read. The information is great, and really is not just for Airstream owners!

I subscribed when this magazine first came out.

I found advertising for businesses I could trust to help me with my '68 Land Yacht restoration.

The best column is how not to get taken when purchasing a vintage airstream.

It is amazing at the cons out therejacking up prices for items that are modern or easily available for less...buyer beware.

Also John Irwin's column is fun to learn ways to modify and adapt these trailers for personal convenience.

Two thumbs up for this quality magazine for airstream enthusiasts.

Althought this magazine is targeted towards the Airstream owner, it is a great resource for anyone on the road traveling across the United States and then some. If you don't own an Airstream you will after reading your first issue. Packed with great information, product reviews, travel info, wonderful photos and a whole bunch of tidbits for everyone. The best RV magazine on the market today. But don't listen to me, pick one up and you'll agree.

Antiqueweek - Eastern Edition

I have used this magazine both for reference and price guide. It is educational and helps the reader identify facts/fakes in the antique world of buying and selling.

Video Watchdog

Video Watchdog have been around for years and continue to produce a top quality home video magazine. Editor Tim Lucas has assembled an impressive staff of writers that are very knowledgable and clearly do their home work. There are some amazing in-depth reviews and feature articles that focus primarily on the horror and fantasy genres.

In addition, they also have a book review column that I've used numerous times to buy film books and a soundtrack column that covers obscure, hard-to-find albums as well as mainstream stuff -very good!

This is one of the few magazines I subscribe to and actually read cover-to-cover. High recommended!

If you REALLY love film (from ALL decades) and of ALL manner , treat youself to this awesome , highly respected and award strewn glossy , digest magazine . It comes to you six times a yr and is a TRUE page turner (even if you think you're not initially interested in a given article) . It's THAT well written . Brilliant .

Buy Video Watchdog Now

I've been buying "Video Watchdog" on and off for at least 15 years; in the past year I've finally succumbed to the lure of it completely and I'm glad I have. Every issue of this slick digest is a treasure-trove of serious, thoughtful (but never humorless or dry) reviewing, criticism and discussion about the wonderful worlds of science fiction, fantasy, and horror filmmaking as it appears on home video first on VHS and laserdisc, then on DVD, now increasingly on Blu-ray. Editor and regular writer Tim Lucas has an obsessive, geeky level of detail at his command and expects the same out of others on his staff. Films are typically reviewed for both technical merits both audio and video discussed in enough detail for most technophiles but simply enough for those of us with less interest in such things and for their qualities as art, though in the case of very famous films like, say, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY in its recent Blu-ray release the technical considerations usually are the bulk of the piece.

The format typically offers "Dog Bytes" short reviews of 200-500 words over a dozen pages or so at the beginning of the magazine and longer "DVDs" reviews ranging from about 700-2000 words near the end; Lucas also writes a 1-page editorial that often waxes philosophical or broadly political, there are book and CD (movie music usually) reviews, and in the last few years writer Ramsey Campbell has had a column that he usually devotes to something really, really obscure. Then there is the feature article, a lengthy review or interview, often in roundtable form; recent examples have been a long discussion of Dario Argento's MOTHER OF TEARS and an interview with Roger Corman about the Edgar Alan Poe adaptations he made in the 1960s.

Lest you say "but I'm not much interested in those kinds of films", the Watchdog often covers film noir, spaghetti and other westerns, classic cartoons and anime, and works of various major directors who have at least a little connection to weirdness and fantasy. You might not ever find a John Ford cover feature, but Welles, Bergman, Fellini, Tarkovsky or Godard aren't out of the question.

In short, my very favorite film magazine, and one of the few magazines I've ever read regularly cover-to-cover for years, and that has never diminished in quality.

This is one of the top publications that covers films and books on the horror/sci-fi genre. It continues to sort out and dig up the new releases of vintage, classic genre films.

The mag has an exceptional group of writers, reviewers, etal that keep the fan in mind. The issues remain great references and will remain in your collection for many years to come. If you haven't tried Watchdog do yourself a favor and pick up the next copy at your newstand/bookstore.

Mystery Scene

When the Armchair Detective stopped being published, I was without a good mystery magazine. I received a complimentary copy of Mystery Scene and I subscribed to it. The magazine is published 5 times per year and features great interviews and good book reviews. I especially enjoy their reviewing lesser known authors and books by independent publishers. My favorite part is the "Where Are They Now" which features authors who seem to have stopped writing a particular series, many of whom I have read in the past. An excellent publication!

Mystery Scene is a feast of fascinating articles, excellent interviews (check out Alexander McCall Smith, in the summer 2003 issue), intelligent reviews, and all kinds of information about the world of mystery writing. In addition, it's that rare magazine of any genre--an absolutely un-put-downable, cover-to-cover read!

This is the ultimate magazine for mystery readers and mystery writers. From front cover to back, it's full of the information you need to know about new books, favorite authors, and what's going on in the mystery business.

Cook's Country

I started reading "Cook's Country"s predecessor, "Cook's Illustrated" by browsing through it in the grocery store line. I liked it so much I subscribed to it--a first for me, since I usually consider cooking a chore rather than a pleasure. I cook because I like to eat, and the take-out restaurants up where I live are crummy, fattening, and expensive. The editors of "Cook's Illustrated" explained everything, even down to the basics of chopping an onion, which is exactly what I needed.

Now these same editors have come up with what I think is an even more useful magazine in "Cook's Country," (six issues a year) as the recipes appear to be even simpler--I guess that's where the 'Country' in the title comes in, as the editors use words like 'homey' and 'family-style' in describing their new endeavor. Those two descriptors usually signal 'easy to make.' It also seems to me that this new magazine is in direct competition with its predecessor, "Cook's Illustrated." Personally, I'm going to drop my subscription to "Cook's Illustrated" and keep "Cook's Country." The only thing I don't like about it is its awkward size (12"x10") which will make it hard to file.

On the other hand, it lies open very nicely, so I won't have to hold it to the right page by propping tea kettles and pickle jars on it.

The recipes in the first issue include steak fries, zucchini bread, and making up your own Shake 'n Bake (!). The Departments are listed as: "Recipe Contest" (Picnic Salads); "Lost Recipes" (Monkey Bread); "Recipe Makeover" (Macaroni and Cheese); "Slow Cooking" (Boston Baked Beans); "Fun Food" (Marshmallow Desserts); "Dressing Up" (Split Chicken Breasts); "For Your Convenience" (Salad Bar Stir-Fry); "Easier Than You Think" (Blue-Ribbon Fudge); "Getting to Know" (Tomatoes); "On the Side" ('Doctored' Applesauce); "Food Shopping" (Salad Dressing); "Equipment Roundup" (Blenders).

I've been looking for a good macaroni and cheese recipe that doesn't pack as many calories as my current one (1,118 calories per serving!), so I'm definitely going to give the "Cook's Country" recipe a go. Supposedly a main-course serving of the reduced-fat version only contains 493 calories. That is a big difference for a little fussing around with extra ingredients (skim ricotta cheese).

However I think I'll give this month's 'Fun Food' a skip (Marshmallow confetti kebabs--ugh).

"Cook's Country" might not attract gourmet chefs to its pages, but it's just the type of 'cook by number' magazine I've been looking for.

P.S. I can vouch for the 'Shake and Bake' Pork Chop recipe and the Creamy Shells with Peas and Bacon recipe. Both are easy and yummy.

My mother-in-law discovered this magazine while she was visiting and showed it to me. Neither one of us subscribes to any cooking magazines though we both collect recipes like fiends. However, we have both decided to make this magazine one of two we will be subscribing to (the other being Penzey's ONE). the layout is friendly and easy to read, the articles are informative without being obnoxious, and the ratings categories are great (latest edition did chef's knives and lemonades). Also very helpful is the back cover it lists all the recipes and what page they are on, as well as showing some pictures. Great for when you're looking for a specific one and don't want to have to page through the magazine to find it! The recipes are such that an inexperienced cook would have no difficulty but an experienced cook would still enjoy preparing them. All-in-all, a great magazine!

I agree entirely with "starmoth". I subscribed to Cooks Illustrated and although it was beautiful and interesting the recipes were just a little over the top for me. I really like the kind of comfort food approach in Country Cooking but I also find the size a little awkward. If you really like macaroni and cheese and stew you'll love this magazine.

The few low reviewers about Cook's Country seem confused by this magazine's commitment to simple home cooking, and some of them have asked, "Why bother? Isn't that what Cook's Illustrated is all about?"

Well, yes and no. Cook's Illustrated, in my observation, is geared far more to the urban or East Coast food lover, someone with a spouse or partner but no, or grown, children, and someone who entertains (as in "has dinner parties") with some frequency. The recipes are indeed simple and turn out beautifully, but they're not exactly the sort of thing most families would tackle on a Tuesday night.

Cook's Country, on the other hand, seems to have as its demographic the home cook with a spouse and kids to feed, and whose parties run to the "child's birthday" or "backyard BBQ" or "family Thanksgiving" type occasions. It's just as accessible, interesting, and smart as Cook's Illustrated, but with a down-home, Midwest vibe. Think of CC as Vermont-dwelling CI's cousin from Topeka.

Ultimately, the buyer should decide based on lifestyle which magazine is more practical. If your cooking is geared toward dinners for two and cocktail parties (or if you plan on buying this as an aspirational exercise but don't intend to make any of the recipes) by all means, subscribe to Cook's Illustrated. But if you are looking for inspiration for delicious weeknight dinners and simple family celebrations while juggling Susie's oboe lessons and Billy's tae kwon do class, look no further than Cook's Country.

I not only enjoy cooking and eating, I like reading about food, including a close perusal of every issue of _Cook's Illustrated._ And as a charter subscriber, I took advantage of their offer of a free copy of the premiere issue of this new sister publication. Even though I have considerable respect for Christopher Kimball's editorial abilities, I think he's made several serious errors this time. The idea is to give coverage to "country food," by which he appears to mean home-cooking. "It's not about fancy cooking or expensive restaurants or foods with names you can't pronounce." But isn't that exactly the philosophy behind _Cook's Illustrated?_ Every dish deconstructed and reinvented in the original magazine is also home-cooking. That's exactly why I enjoy it, why I end up trying at least half the recipes in each issue. Also like CI, this magazine analyzes in depth a relatively few recipes -the first issue includes pot roast, chocolate pudding, fried chicken, and green beans, among others -and follows the method of testing-to-destruction to discover which variations and options really are the best. There's also a "Mystery Tool" column and a kitchen-questions page and a couple of consumer advisory sections (this time it's the best bottled Italian salad dressing and the best slow cooker). The main differences are the inclusion of a section of tear-out recipe cards in the center of the magazine, à la _Family Circle,_ and an excessively cutesy-homespun design sense. Also a couple of pages of readers' kitchen memories, both good and bad. They also use color throughout the magazine, unlike Cook's Illustrated. So why publish this new title when most of the contents seem to be simply overflow from their flagship publication? And -perhaps the greatest error, in my opinion -someone decided this magazine should be published in a 10" by 12" format. It's much too tall to fit on the shelf with my copies of _Cook's Illustrated_ and _Gourmet_ and most of my cookbooks. I hate that.

Delicious Magazine

This is a great magazine full of all kinds of recipies. Easy ones gourmet, mid-week, low fat. We have had a subscription for a year and we cook most of our meals from it. The only thing you need is to print out a converter as the recipies are done in the UK and are in grams not ounces. Order it. you won't regret it.

I absolutely fell in love with Delicious. while studying abroad in London. The recipes are (for the lack of a better word) absolutely delicious. I scoured high and dry in my tiny town to (somehow) find the newest issues. I was not let down and a subscription is definitely worth it :)

The amazing photography and use of bright colors within the magazine give it a great vibe and I look forward to reading it every month (it's almost like a fashion magazine for food :D). The recipes to be easier to make, but still as tasty, as other culinary magazines (I didn't renew my subscription to Food & Wine (1-year auto-renewal) since Delicious. has ruined me for all others ;)). I definitely make good use out of this magazine and am constantly trying and reusing recipes from here.

As the other reviewer as stated, you will need a conversion chart (or even a scale) to make these recipes since the measurements are Imperial but it's worth it!

I became familiar with this magazine while we were in South Africa. It really raised my cooking game. The recipes are so much more intricate (but not that much more difficult) and more varied than in the US food magazines.

There's been a little bit of a dip, I think, since a new editor started; somehow her quest to "freshen it up" took some of the depth away from it, but I still think it's the best cooking/food magazine published. My second vote, surprisingly, is TASTE magazine, published by Woolworth's, which, in South Africa is a gourmet supermarket and classy department store. Both magazines really get your imagination going and inspire you to cook things that really are "over the top" without being ridiculously difficult. Given my work schedule, if I can't make it in 20 minutes (except for those very special occasions), I'm not interested.

Yes, the subscription is ridiculously expensive. It's something I consider an extravagance, but given how much of a positive effect it has had on our daily meals, and the fact that my husband doesn't even want to go to restaurants anymore "because your cooking is so much better," I figure we're coming out ahead economically. You can easily spend the same amount for a nice dinner these days and for the subscription cost of this magazine I get many, many more good meals out of it in a given year. I read it slowly, one page at a time, while eating. Always a pleasure.

If you just can't bring yourself to spend this much for the printed magazine, at least visit their website delicious.co.uk for some inspiration.

Christian-New Age Quarterly

The "Christian-New Age Quarterly" magazine has helped realize I am a Christian even though my beliefs aren't orthodox and I certainly don't interpret the Bible literally.

I couldn't accept many of the Christian messages I was taught as a youth. How could a God of unfathomable love send--or allow any of His children to choose--a fiery hell forever? Designing a plan for his "only Son" to suffer and die so everyone is saved didn't make too much sense to me either. Original sin, only one way to salvation, a literal devil, one lifetime only it was all just too bizarre and nonsensical to me.

Over the years, I developed a deep and ecletic spirituality based on Eastern philosophies, native wisdom sources, metaphysics, and contemporary research like near-death experiences. I was very comfortable with this blend but figured I probably didn't qualify as a Christian anymore.

Imagine my surprise and delight when I discovered the "Christian-New Age Quarterly" and many people who had also merged spiritual wisdom with Christ-centered teachings. Reading insightful writing by pastors and theologians with open hearts and minds helped me realize I am a Christian. My own particular mix of New Age, liberal, enlightened, and widely encompassing Christianity makes the most sense to me. I'm grateful that this magazine has provided a wider sense of faith, knowledge, and fellowship.

I discovered Christian * New Age Quarterly when a dear friend loaned me a copy. In it was a fascinating book review about feminine spirituality in early Ireland. Since subscribing, I"ve realized that the name C*NAQ in not incongruent.The combination of Christian and New Age content in every issue reaffirms that we ARE ALL ONE, simply taking different paths to enlightenment. When my issue arrives, I turn first to the "Pensive Pause," always insightful and upbeat. The book reviews offer enticing glimpses at a wide variety of topics. C*NAQ proves the adage that "good things come in small packages." The content is thought provoking and relevant to the 21st century. There are no sound bites or gratuitous glitz, just perceptive articles written for me to think about and apply to my life. Try it. You'll like it!

Discovering C*NAQ reminds me of when I found my "Not Your Mother's Green Bean" recipe. In other words, C*NAQ content, like the new recipe ingredients, were a far cry from the traditional green bean holiday casserole and the Christianity I was fed as a child. Simply put: Canned vs fresh. Devoid of the fat and preservatives, you can really taste the natural goodness of fresh beans in the recipe. Reading C*NAQ, you can savour Christianity unadulterated by dogma and doctrine. On the New Age side, it's the same story. New Age thinking is presented as a philosophy for living and progressing on our individual path to oneness with Spirit. Stripped of emphasis on incense, tie dye, and crystals, New Age thinking has astonishing appeal for and many common threads with modern Christianity. C*NAQ is good hearty food for the soul!

Having been raised a Christian a long, long time ago -but now more a student of Buddhism and other new edge philosophies -I must admit I initially had doubts about reading this publication. However, since subscribing to Christian*New Age Quarterly about a year ago, I have found every issue to be just the right blend of traditional theology and new age ideas.

Catherine Groves has the ability to attract some of the most insightful writers on the subjects at hand -and the discourse that results has always been helpful to me. (Coincidentally enough, each issue always seems to have some particle of wisdom or truth that focuses on an issue going on in my own life as I am reading it.

So it's easy for me to see why this publication has been going strong for 20 years -its brilliant ideas and polished writing make it a worthy companion to any other spiritual books you have in your library today.

And after a grueling day in the "real world", reading C*NAQ can be a breath of fresh air!

This is more of a newsletter than a magazine. The articles are interesting, but not intriguing. I get the impression it is "published" on a mimeograph machine in someone's basement. The subject matter is not the problem. I have been looking for a publication with just this subject matter. This is not what I've been looking for, however. I was hoping for a more professional magazine with meatier articles. I'm not going to cancel my subscription, as I am an optimist. However, I'm not sure I'll renew when the time comes.
