Colors - French Edition
The concept of the magazine is "a magazine about the rest of the world". A hard promise, but it delivers. Each issue addresses one topic with excellent pictures and writing in two languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian). The topics have included: teenagers, family, Buddhist prayers, water, touch, race, mamma, etc.
The writing is sympathetic and informative. The pictures and graphics are eye-opening and sometimes shocking. Ads are minimal and are not usually mixed with the content. There is always a section where you can get more information.
Also, COLORS changes with the times. It occasionally comes in different sizes, occasionally it has come with two magazine in one issue and other variations. The latest issue (teenagers) has codes that you hold up to your computer camera when you are on their website and see the pictures come to life on your computer screen and hear the people in the pictures giving you more information about their lives.
I don't think that you save anything by buying a subscription. I got it because after reading this magazine for almost 20 years, I still don't want to miss a single issue. I can usually find it in the big-box bookstores, but I have missed a few that way.
Enjoy!the magazine is as good as you can imagine--each issue on a different subject, beautifully designed and written and bilingual, but you are lucky if you will get the magazine months after they send it from Italy --if you get it at all. They won't send them by air and they don't seem to sell them in stores unfortunately.

Blade (1-year)
The articles are good and insightful, some very high quality color pictures, and it's generally speaking entertaining & instructive.
The 4 star only rating is due to (1) the lack of objectivity of the articles (I have *never* read a negative review), and (2) too many pictures of custom knives are in B&W. I would happily pay double the price, get half as many issues, but in a glossy, high quality paper, premium binding, etc...I purchased the Blade subscription as a gift for a friend who is a knife and weapon enthusiast. He reads each issue several times and could not have been more pleased.I gave my husband a subscription to Blade magazine for Christmas. He buys it a lot as he is a knife collector. He was very happy to know he won't miss an issue.
Read Best Reviews of Blade (1-year) Here
this past year i got myself a blade magazine subscription and liked the magazine enough to buy my dad a subscription this past father's day. other reviews mention that there are a lot of ads. there are some ads but i don't mind it so much being in the publishing business and knowing that's where the $ is made. that's probably how the publisher keeps the subscription affordable.i think the magazine gives a good mix of knife knowledge and current issues surrounding the average knife collector/carrier. i'm also a lifetime nra member and receive the nra's america's 1st freedom magazine. i find blade to be a more diverse and enjoyable read.I bought this magazine subscription for a friend who also enjoys custom knives. It's a good magazine, but about half the issues never make it to his house. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Blade, or what.

Lula
This would have been fine, till I saw it sold at magazine stands and book stores for $18 per issue.
I will continue to be a Lula reader but never subscribe. Will be happy to make that trip to the magazine stands for that price.This magazine is perfect for any girly girl. Each page features GORGEOUS photography incomparable to any other mainstream fashion magazine.I LOOOOOVE this magazine!!!!!!!!!Every page is filled with something pretty and interesting. you should sooooo get it!!!!!!I ordered this about five months ago and it has failed to show up. Dissipointing.
