Buy La Settimana Enigmistica Now
This is a wonderful Italian Magazine, filled with Crossword Puzzles and other fun puzzles. It arrives weekly so you always have a new one to enjoy A+++++++Read Best Reviews of La Settimana Enigmistica Here
La Settimana Enigmistica has to be the world's best puzzle magazine. When I lived in Rome, I bought it every week at the local kiosk. It is full not only of crosswords, but also of intricate puzzles, such as anagrams, monoverbs, changes of vowels or consonants, cryptograms, and other brain teasers--all in Italian. It also has cartoons. The puzzles begin easy, and become harder later in the book.My favorites are the rebuses, fascinating picture puzzles that depict one thing and, when solved, state something completely different. For instance, a dog barking (latra), the letters GI, two beavers (castori), the letters ADA, and blackberries on a bush (more) translate to "La Tragica Storia d'Amore"--or The Tragic Story of Love. The editors give you the numbers of letters in each word as an aid (e.g., in this puzzle, 2, 7, 6, 1, 5). At any rate, they are great fun.
La Settimana Enigmistica--The Weekly Puzzler--is wildly popular in Italy among all sorts of people. For instance, one cannot get on a bus or a train without seeing business men, college students, well-dressed women, and just plain folks, pencil in hand, working out the puzzles. You will see copies of the magazine on the front seats of taxis; the drivers solve the puzzles between fares. If you are on a long train ride, La Settimana Enigmistica represents a good conversation opener. Someone is always on hand to give you a hint, for instance, about la parola giusta that will help solve the puzzle.
For anyone who wants to achieve proficiency in Italian, La Settimana Enigmistica is just the thing. But beware, it is addictive!
If only it weren't so expensive! (Fortunately I have a large stash left over from the 1980's and 1990's, which ease any enigmistic cravings I might still have.)My wufe has bought this magazine for manu years, but since we do not live in Italy rnd its import has stopped we have now, witj Amazon's help, succesfully made a run around the end to my wife's contetment.

Reptiles (1-year)
I'd recommend this magazine for people who are generally interested in reptiles and for those who are thinking of getting a reptile pet. You may find yourself introduced to some animals you'd never thought of keeping. It may be too basic for those with lots of experience, but for the rest of us it's a great source of general knowledge.
The only downside is the ads. The classifieds are basically the same every month. Particular product ads are often matched to the articles--ok I guess, but it sometimes makes you wonder whether the advertisers or the editors are driving the magazine. However, Bird Talk and Cat Fancy are much worse in this regard.I have had the same problem that a previous reviewer said. I have had a Reptiles magazine subscription a few years back and a current one. The previous order had a missing issue and my subscription was not extended. Now my most recent has annoyed me. I recieved three issues, and then no more isues. Even though the Reptiles mag site says I should have recieved at least two issues since then, and I got a supposed extension. After this subscription, no more. I'll do as I have in the past, purchase them as I see them and only if the subjects interest me. So the warning is that this magazine can be unreliable.I'm a solid reader of Reptiles for 3 years now. I LOVE IT! Before I was ever keeping and breeding reptiles myself, I was enjoying this magazine. Every issue is chocked full of pictures and information beyond belief, and it's a good way to shop around to see who's breeding what this year. Great magazine, it's a must get for any herper or plain ol person!I was already a subscriber to reptiles magazine, but Amazon was offering it at a great price. This day and age, I almost think that magazines are worthless; since I can get all the information I need from the internet. But this publication is always a great read. They have monthly contests and show off drawings and the pictures are always great. My wife and I always turn to the "Guess that skull" challenge every time the new issue shows up to see who can figure it out first.
