Modern Dog

Modern DogA stylish and witty addition to the underpopulated dog magazine scene, Modern Dog is a finely crafted and informative quarterly.

Its foundation is geared for the purebred (that is to say unrepentant) dog lover, and from that springs articles on dog art and illustrators, living arrangements with dogs, high fashion and style, book reviews and recipes. In short, the assumption is that anyone interested in dogs is an interesting person with a need to be visually and intellectually stimulated.

What a arch magazine this is. How clever to pair an article on summer wines with appropriate recipes ... and illustrate the same with a dog in a straw sombrero ready to party.

And if there's a trend in human fashion to be explored, that trip is going to be taken with a dog in tow. The photography and styling in this magazine is inspired, doggy and fun. Plus, there is ART to behold. Articles on accomplished illustrators, outsider and funky art. The art blends in with dog stories and book reviews, which leads into articles on travelling with dogs.

A good read, a good sit to be taken with your favorite dog in your favorite chair. Or, if you're dog-deprived, a good way to lessen the pain.

Modern Dog is a magazine worth reading.

My new favourite magazine! Beautiful photos, smart and entertaining articles, fashion, art, exclusive celebrity interviews... all with a dog focus! Cover models range from Paris Hilton and Tinkerbell to Virginia Madsen and her dogs. Thanks to Modern Dog I now know how to throw a dog-friendly cocktail party (complete with hors d'oeuvres for both twoand four-legged guests) AND actually get my dog to come when she's called. Definitely worth checking out.

Modern Dog magazine is especially perfect for those who own small dogs and/or live in urban areas. The magazine is well-written, full of timely articles, and includes ads from unique merchants. I have a Lab and two Boston Terriers so I feel that I am included in their target audience; however, this magazine does include something for everyone who has a dog and wants the best for it, even if it isn't a smaller dog. I like how edgy the magazine is and this is why I think it's more tailored for urban dwellers.

I've not subscribed to a pet magazine since middle school when I couldn't get enough of Cat Fancy and the pictures of all the adorable, fluffy kitties. Now, content is more important than pictures, and Modern Dog delivers. I read every issue cover to cover and have yet to recycle one because they are so full of information. Everything from food to training to breed quirks to pet friendly businesses are covered. The product reviews are thorough and cover a wide variety (and price range) of products. The holiday 2010 issue had several pages of gift ideas, and I was surprised that so many items shown were actually affordable. Many times pet magazines showcase items that are out of almost every income bracket are listed, so this was a refreshing change.

Dog owners will get a lot out of this magazine health information, adoption stories, training tips, travel tips, nutrition, caring for senior dogs, products, shopping resources it's all there. A subscription would made a wonderful gift for any dog lover.

USA Today : the Nations Newspaper - 6 Month Subscription

USA Today : the Nations Newspaper - 6 Month SubscriptionThis subscription for USA Today was ordered and paid for yet I never received a single issue for over 2 months even though the delivery time was about one month.

When I called the Magazine service as instructed by Amazon, I was told that the delivery would be delayed another month. This was unacceptable and I cancelled the subscription. I was told I would receive a refund. I assumed since not one issue was received that I would be refunded the $52.00 I paid. Shortly later I get an e-mail from Amazon the I was refunded only $17.00

I e-mailed back and was told to contact the Magazine service. I the responded that I had already done that and I should receive a full refund. That was the last e-mail I sent to Amazon. It's about 3 weeks now and I've still not gotten a reply from Amazon. I'm accepting that I was screwed out of $35...and will never again order a subscription from Amazon.

Great paper when it arrives, our subscription started a few weeks ago and it's been coming on and off ever since then. Somedays we get the paper, some days we don't. When you call Magazine Express they seem helpful and will offer to call the delivery source to try to find out what the issues are. In the future I'll just order direct from USA Today, it's the same price and you can cut out the problems with the "middle man".

LOVE the paper.

I buy it everyday (when available next to STARBUCKS)

But oftentimes it just wasn't there. once every 7-8 days maybe

So I thought with the subscription it would be better...NOT

I must be in a BAD area, San Diego-East Del Mar.

I was VERY disappointed and I cancelled after the delievry was even WORSE.

They missed at least ONCE a week.

I have read Usa Today for years. I tried the three month trial. I knew it was an automatic renewal on my credit card for an additional month if I did not cancel my subscription. I did call one month prior to renewal date to stop the renewal. When I contined to get the newspaper after the ending date I called customer service. (Oh, you cannot cancel your EZ pay on line. You have to call them.) When I called and ask about my account the rep said I would be charged. I ask to speak to someone else. Couldn't do it. Would not let me. So, I wrote an email on their "Contact Us". Got an email that said someone would contact me. Never did. Sent another email. Same result. I will never deal with them again.

I ordered this subscription for my son. The paper delivery started sooner than expected. It arrives promptly each week day and is in perfect condition. My son has enjoyed the articles, particularly those in the sports section. He plans on renewing the subscription when it runs out.

Soaps in Depth - CBS

Soaps in Depth - CBSOk, the secret is out... I'm a closet soap opera fan. I watch As The World Turns and Guiding Light regularly, and occasionally All My Children. This magazine is ideal for someone who's a casual viewer and only follows one network. The writing is that great, although it isn't bad, per se. It's just very elementary. Other magazines about soaps have more intelligent critiques of acting and stories. The "spoilers" aren't as good as in other magazines, either, and the recaps aren't as up to date as in SOD or SPW. Overall, for what it costs, I'd say just get Soap Opera Digest or Soap Opera Weekly. It's a bit better than Soap Opera Update, though, which is why I gave it 2 stars as opposed to 1.

This magazine is a weekly publication addressing events that will occur in the next week on the soaps. It is intended to inform you of coming events to improve the viewing experience. My issue with this publication is that it rarely is received by Friday and most often comes in the middle of the next week. Not likely to order this item again.

Woodworker's Journal

Woodworker's JournalI subscribe to several woodworking magazines and have subscribed to Woodworkers Journal since 1990. Each magazine has a character of it's own with a woodworking level reflected in the complexity of the projects it presents. This magazine is a bit more complex than, say Wood magazine. It should be understood that some style and esthetics are usually compromised when a project is simplified. I have one of Woodworking Journal's projects in my living room. It is perhaps the most beautiful piece I have ever made. If you have become an advanced amature (sp?) this magazine will give you projects that you will take pride in making and showing to others.

There are two good ways to tell what audience at which a woodworking magazine is aimed. The first is the type of advertising, and the second is how much skill do the projects expect you to have. It is pretty clear right away that Woodworker's journal server home woodworkers who are already of moderate skill. The advertised 'big toys' run in the 500 to 1500 dollar range, although there are a couple of high end combination machines in the adds as well.

Articles expect you to know how to use the tools of the trade but not sure about the 'best' way to do something. A recent issue makes a study of an intarsia backed high chair with some interesting joinery, and instructions for making a genuinely exotic angle jig for a table saw. Writing is solid and reasonably illustrated, but they devote little space to what you should already know, which can make these projects a stretch for a tyro.

The Magazine is very tool oriented. There isn't a lot of space devoted to hand tools or history. Expect articles comparing nail guns and helping you decide whether stationary or bench top equipment is right for you. However, traditionally manual tasks like finishing also receive their due. I found the Woodworker's Journal suited me quite well, and I expect to continue reading it.

As a library administrator I get to see and read an awful lot of woodworking books and magazines. I have been a personal subscriber to Woodworker's Journal for a year now, and an off and on reader of the magazine for about 5 years. In that time I have grown to appreciate this as a very good woodworking magazine. Is it my favorite? No, but I still like it well enough to recommend it to others. I also regularly read Fine Woodworking, Workbench, Wood, Popular Woodworking, etc. and like all of those, this magazine has its strengths. I find that WJ is very into power tools, tool reviews (theirs are among my favorites), and shop projects. Having said all of that, I also must confess that the best piece of furniture I ever built came from a plan in WJ magazine (an arts & crafts style wine storage table), so don't pigeon-hole it too much.

Try it for a year and I bet you won't be sorry!

I felt compelled to write a short note after receiving a renewal notification too early.

I first ordered the Journal in June 05, I received a renewal that I thought was in order in March 06, now I'm getting another one in Dec 06.

It seems Amazon is engaging in some behavior that takes several months of subscription time away from consumers who order through them. Be careful

Want Woodworker's Journal Discount?

Woodworkers Journal has been around a long time (40 years maybe?). Its because it is such a well written, well rounded magazine. Its my go to magazine for projects (which I have built many). The issue size is good, the writing top-notch, and projects galore. Good for the price, good for the projects, good for the write-ups. Their reviews of tools are usually spot on. I just find this and Fine Woodworking the best of the bunch.

BMX Plus

BMX PlusI bought this magazine subscription as a father's day gift for my boyfriend. He loves getting every issue, and always rereads old issues months later. Even though he's not a kid, the content still interests him I know he really enjoys the hands-on tips and tools information. Great photos, decent size issues. I'll definitely be renewing this subscription for him!

Met - Modern English Teacher

Met - Modern English TeacherWhile the title of the review may sound really boring, I have to say that Modern English Teacher is one of the most modern, relevant and interesting journals in the field. Covering a huge range of issues, including technological applications in the classroom, this journal has something to offer every teacher for use in the class.

The journal also reviews a variety of works that are written by others, and these reviews are usually very much on the mark in terms of opinion and guidance towards useful material.

My own favourites are the technology articles that give ideas and techniques for exploiting technology in the class. One enduring favourite has been the music and iPod articles, (even though I have a different MP3 player), which have given useful input into an area that I am really interested in.

If you are thinking of subscribing to a journal for English teaching, I think this one is among the best. Wodnerfully presented on high quality, glossy paper, "Modern English Teacher" is indeed relevant and very practical. It has been truly written for the teaching teacher.

International Bulletin of Missionary Research

International Bulletin of Missionary ResearchChristian faith has always been centrifugal, rarely containable, and viscerally cross-cultural. The mission of the Christian Church is therefore expansive, intentionally persuasive, and usually outward-looking.

The academic study of this mission is called missiology. Often regarded in terms of its European roots (think University of Edinburgh), American divinity schools and faculties of missiology have in the last three decades pumped out legions of graduates. The International Bulletin of Missionary Research, published by the high-regarded Overseas Ministries Study Center, has emerged as one of the dominant trade journals for this academic study.

Its pages are frequently filled by articles, essays, and dissertation synopses produced by non-Western scholars, who increasingly represent the dynamic as well as the demographic center of Christian mission. The monthly Bulletin is edited and produced to a high standard and as made itself an indispensable source for missionary research.

One of its most popular features is entitled 'My Pilgrimage in Mission', which chronicles changes in the enterprise via first-hand accounts of how living beyond one's familiar context changes a person from the inside out.

Skona Hem

Skona HemI am so glad to see this wonderful Swedish home design and lifestyle magazine offered on Amazon.com!

I have searched for it countless times at U.S. newsstands to no avail. They always have plenty of German, French, English, and Italian mags, but never seem to have the Scandinavian ones, which is a shame, because they are often top-notch, style-wise, and Skona Hem is no exception!

This magazine is a great reflection of the Swedish style, elegant, relaxed, comfortably refined. Granted, one must know Swedish to read Skona Hem, but the pictures are of course universal, and what gorgeous pictures they are!

The subscription rate to the U.S. is rather high, but perhaps if many people subscribe, the price will come down?! We can hope! Enjoy your Skona Hem!

Lok Magazin

Lok MagazinThis superb magazine covers German, Austrian and Swiss national and private railroads in detail as well as news from other European countries. With open access now in effect on European railroads there is plenty of colorful action to report. Each edition has four sections: News, Main Article, Vehicles and History. It is lavishly illustrated with high quality color photographs, and some black and white ones in the history section. These photographs alone justify the cover price. It has an unusual format for a magazine, as it is printed in a near Octavo book size. This allows it to be kept on a bookshelf without a binder. It also fits discretely into ones briefcase! Each edition has 114 pages and it is not overwhelmed with advertisements. Indeed, most advertisements are for other offerings from the magazine's publisher. It is, in this reviewer's opinion, an essential monthly read for every aficionado of the mainland European railway scene.

Todays Parent

Todays ParentAlthough it doesn't say so on the description page (unless you look at a large version of the cover!) this is for CANADIANS only! I made the mistake of ordering it for my US daughter-in-law and it's all about Canadian schools, etc. The subscription rate listed in the magazine is $17.95 CANADIAN funds per year. I paid $45 for something I called and was told there is NO AMERICAN issue. So what's with the price listed here? What did I pay $45 for? Very irritating to say the least!

This magazine is an indespensible tool for parents. It is unfortunate that americans can't subscribe to this magazine. Recipes, Discipline Tactics, activities. Solutions to every problem all parents are facing and the magic is that it seems to grow with you. I highly recommend this for any Canadian Parent wanting to take their parenting to the next level.

Forza

ForzaFORZA does an excellent job of detailing interesting and otherwise undiscovered aspects of the Ferrari community both here in the United States as well as abroad. It is always refreshing to read new material in an intellectual format!

By far one of the best Ferrari magazines on the market. Whether you are an enthusiast, or a seasoned collector, this magazine is fantastic. I started by purchasing issue # 1, when I was just dreaming about owning a car. First article was wonderful and described how a person on a decent living could purchase a 308. Even now, after owning several cars, traveling, and hosting Ferrari events, this is my favorite magazine. Photos and articles are wonderful. Very interesting and does not bore you as other magasines do. Simply the best. Saw one or two negative reviews that are ill-informed at best and contrived at worst. I have every issue since the begining of this magazine and cannot wait for the next issue to arrive. Bravo!!!

Awesome magazine.

Loved every page.

Just subscribed for two more years. Look forward to receiving future issues.

Was given a subscription to this mag for Christmas by my kids, since I own a 550 Maranello, and have found it far superior to the "Club" mags of similar ilk. There's actual content here, not just pages of ads and updates about what each of the club chapters did last month (zzzzzzzzz). I dropped my memberships to the various Ferrari clubs, but I'll be renewing this mag.

To the subscriber who hasn't received his first mag yet: just be patient there are only 8 per year, so it's not a monthly thing. I think my first issue after the Christmas subscription arrived in February?

To the person looking for objectivity: This is a magazine written by & for Ferrari enthusiasts, not an objective review of Ferrari models. Ferrari enthusiasts and owners tend to be a bit blind to all the warts and shortcomings of our cars, so if you're looking for objectivity, you may be reading the wrong mag.

One thing I'd suggest to the publisher PLEASE figure out a way for your subscribers to renew electronically. Printing out subscription forms, filling them in and faxing/mailing them back is soooooo 20th century. Phoning is too. Nearly every other magazine in existence has online subscribing and renewal so get with the 21st century guys!

p.s. A digital edition would be great too not to replace the paper edition, but in addition to it. This could boost your sales and wouldn't cost a ton to do.

p.p.s. Downloadable digital archives could also boost your sales, and it would be great to have a digital archive to refer to on the laptop or reader while traveling, etc. (and yes, I do have the Ferrari workshop manuals on my Kindle :))

Fair disclosure I have been a regular contributer to this magazine since issue 4 (back in 1996). I was a subscriber before that and worked hard to earn a spot on the masthead. I know many of the writers and photographers on the staff so I know that everyone loves these wonderful Italian cars. We dream about them. We talk about them and we drive them. Oh yeah, we drive them everywhere and we go fast. I hope the passion comes through in every page we really try.

And if you have an interesting Ferrari and are interested in sharing it with our readers, send an e-mail to the editor. We get great leads that way.

As to the reviewer who says the magazine is on it's last legs absolute nonsense. I have been a writer for the parent company since 1987 so I think I know a little more than the writer. The magazine is on firm financial ground and I plan on working for them another 10 years.

Outdoor Power Equipment

Outdoor Power EquipmentOrdered this magazine in July 2006 based upon the description. Got my 1st issue, Sep 06 in late Oct. Crammed with advertisments pertaing to help in running a business, no real article at all. Then it didn't come. I emailed Amazon in Nov, asking that I receive the missing issues, extend the subscription for the missing issues, or refund my money. Later I received a November 2005 issue and a Nov 2006 issue. I emailed Greenmedia about this and have yet to receive a reply. The two Nov issues I received are also packed with advertisments.

Not much to read at all in the way of maintaing Outdoor Power Equipment. It does list page after page after page of business's that do though.

In my opinion if you're looking for a publication that talks about small machines and the small engines that power them, avoid this this one !!!

My 2 star rating is based entirely on the smooth paper and nice pictures.

France Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

France MagazineI have subscribed to France magazine for three years now,without a glitch.

I love this magazine.It is beautifully presented,and chock full of information about all areas of France.I especially love the articles of small,quaint little villages.It makes me want to visit all of France,not just Paris as I originally intended.

I am so sorry the first reviewer has had so much trouble with the subscription.

I found a copy of this magazine in an old hotel in Hawaii and enjoyed it. Because we travel to France often, I thought it would be a way of keeping in touch with the culture during the years between visits. It's only been 5 weeks, but I haven't heard from anyone or received anything except for a review request. Funny.

I am among the few who still cherish the act of reading a magazine. Unlike most magazines that have let their struggles affect content, France Magazine manages to still entice me issue after issue. Aside from the wonderful articles are the amazing photos they use, worthy of being plucked out and framed!

Idaho Magazine

Idaho MagazineBack in the olden days, I loved pouring through my copy of ALASKA MAGAZINE. Back then, it was a magazine full of interesting stories about life in the Bush and the life of Alaska's characters. IDAHO MAGAZINE reminds me of Alaska Magazine of the old. I love reading about life in rural Idaho,the characters, and this history of this great state. Whether you live in Idaho, plan on visiting, or just want a fun magazine, IDAHO MAGAZINE is the ticket to a great read.

The Gem State finally has a publication that combines quality and diversity, humor and history, and seemingly everything in between. Impressive to find such well written articles ranging from cattle in a small town to construction at the capital building, in just one issue! Idaho Magazine is truly a hidden gem among the slick, impersonal regional publications on so many magazine racks today. A breath of fresh air, you can't go wrong with Idaho Magazine.

I just finished reading "Man Becomes Mountain: George Blackmon's Remarkable Life" in the September, 2008 issue. Well done to both author, Jim Ridenour and to IDAHO magazine! The article is a good mix of character-revealing anecdotes and careful documentation of historical facts. I'm so glad there's a magazine in Idaho that brings history to life, a magazine that even manages to meld history and current events. This article is just one example among many that prompts me to keep back issues as a resource for travel planning and for my own writing.
