Windows Vista - England

Windows Vista - EnglandI have been reading this magazine for 3 years and I have not found ANYTHING in the US that comes close to the content and knowledge packed with these pages. Plus it comes with a CD filled with various Full, trial and other Antivirus software that is great.

It is expensive but if you have to buy it at a Border's books or Barnes & Noble's it's $15.99 copy. But in my opinion--well worth it as I am always referencing it for various articles and fixes.

Saxophone Journal - Without CD-Rom

Saxophone Journal - Without CD-RomTHIS IS A GREAT MAGAZINE, DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE IT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSCRIBE, but son't order from amazon. The reason their price here is so cheap is because they made a deal with the manufacturer that THEY DON'T INCLUDE THE CD THAT IS SUPOSED TO COME WITH IT, and get it for much cheaper in bulk. BUY FROM dornpub.com, AND GET THE CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burda Style - English ed

Burda Style - English edNOTE: This is the English language version of the magazine.

Burda Style is really a beautifully laid out fashion magazine that includes all the patterns so that you can make everything shown in it yourself.

Each issue has at least 40 regular size clothing patterns for women. The patterns have to be traced and the seam allowances added in, but you can easily modify them this way and it is still easier than drafting them yourself. Burda patterns are the most fashion forward and best fitting patterns available and Burda is much more technically advanced than the American pattern companies.

Unique fashion accessories and home decorating projects are presented in a DIY format in every issue. The magazine ventures beyond sewing with original crochet, knitting, and craft project patterns. Recent issues of Burda Style for example featured a rug that you can crochet, a blanket and pillow to knit, a Fair Isle ski sweater to knit and smocking techniques for a pillow.

All the sewing patterns are rated by sewing expertise. Every issue presents one pattern in a sewing course format to teach techniques and another pattern in a fully illustrated sewing lesson for beginners.

The patterns are feminine with a definite European flair, and even sportswear is more girly than sporty. The magazine is beautifully photographed and the fashions are smartly styled on the most gorgeous models, and of course using the most luxe fabrics. The accompanying fashion copy gives helpful sewing hints, fabric tips, and styling ideas.

I have been using Burda magazine patterns for several years. The plus sizes are actually made for plus sizes and not just graded up. The patterns fit real women, not just models. The instructions assume you know sewing basics, since they teach sewing in Germany in school, not like the States--the only drawback. But they do have one pattern per issue where they walk you thru--so if you are a beginner or need a refresher course, you can start with that pattern. You do have to trace out the pattern from the center sheets before cutting, but you have to do that with all sewing magazines. The photos give you several looks on real models, not just sketches, so you have an idea how the item will look when you are done. Try to get the magazine in your native language, because there are sewing hints even next to the photos, to help you achieve the look, including the fabric and trim they used. Some times they have crafty items--not my cup of tea. January 2011 has small children costumes. Each Burda Style magazine has lots of women, some plus sizes and some children sizes.--no preteen or teen sizes. Once in a while there will be a mens section. There was some knitting in December 2010. I think they were way off base throwing that in.

I am a huge fan of Burdastyle. My husband got me this subscription, and although it is a bit pricey for a magazine it is really worth it for the amount of patterns you get every month. I think the magazine does a pretty good job of presenting wardrobe basics, as well as giving patterns for more trendy items. I always find several things I want to make in each issue. The patterns I have tried have always turned out great, although the instructions are not as good as you get with individual patterns like Vogue, or Simplicity. With that in mind I think Burdastyle is probably more for an intermediate to advanced level sewer who has the experience to overcome sometimes poor/vague instructions. If you are serious about apparel sewing Burdastyle is an absolute treasure.

This was renewed as a gift, for an avid sewer, and she requests it each year because the patterns are very stylish, clearly written, and even when the article is complicated, she learns a lot about sewing from it.

Loulou - English Edition

Loulou - English EditionThis is, in a way, a Canadian equivalent to Lucky. It was launched in the summer of last year and after I bought the first issue, I was hooked. It has everything you need to know about new beauty products, new trends and great new stores opening around Canada. It also has this "Remix" section about lifestyles, books, music, etc. In the back, there are also a bunch of great deals that you can use in Canadian stores. The only flaw was that the magazine layout was a bit crowded. It's a great read when you're on the road or on the way to the mall!

The magazine is fine, it is basically an advertisement for Canadian retailers however it does give some fashion tips and trends. The problem with Lou Lou Magazine is the Customer Service -it is terrible. If you receive a damaged issue or do not receive an issue at all, you have to send an email to Customer Service. After sending six emails to so-called Customer Service, my issue was never resolved. Basically they send a canned email stating they are sorry for your inconvenience and we are investigating but my problem was never resolved. I had to keep following up and dealt with the same two individuals in Customer Service who did not have the ability and/or authority to resolve the matter. It was completely frustrating and with service like this it is no wonder the publishing world of magazines is in such dire straights.

Point De Vue - Images Du Monde

Point De Vue - Images Du MondeI have been kept waiting for over 4 months for this subscription to start. Whenever I call I get a runaround about talking to the wrong person, switched to another department, etc. If I had know it would be like this I could have gone directly to the magazine and had my first issue in a matter of weeks. I would never subscribe to a magazine again through Amazon

If you are interested in world royalty and history, this is the magazine to get.

Point de Vue covers the lives, activites and history of the world's royal families. It is done in a very tasteful, non-paparazzi way.

In addition they write articles about music, culture happenings and art.

So, for example, if you want to know how Her Majesty, Queen Elisabeth II is related to seven of Europe's royal families this is the magazine for you!

Reports are politely written, and with respect. Very "correct". Very easy to read.

I am now living in New York. This magazine keeps me informed of some of the people I had met.

Pittsburgh Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

Pittsburgh MagazineThis is one of my favorite magazines. I love all of the local events listed in here. Very easy to renew subscription. Would highly recommend!

The publication usually has an article or two worth reading but for the most part is filled with advertisements. Cancelled my subscription before the year was out.

My daughter moved to suburban Pgh. last year from WV with her fiance from SW PA area.

Gave this subscription to them as an X-mas gift so they could keep up with local happenings, restaurants, etc.

It is a quality magazine and they enjoy it and the information it contains.
