Hemmings Motor News

You can't go wrong with any of the Hemmings publications. I always purchased this magazine each month (when I could find it) So I figured I might as well try a subscription. The magazine NEVER disappoints, and it has been delivered in a timely fashion. What's not to like?? Oh yeah, and you save $$$ too!

Hemmings is not as big as it was 20 years ago but still offers a great selection of collector car information. A good resource for collector cars, parts and services nationwide. The online product is also good.

I was expecting something more affordable to buy, I am not rich and most of the stuff in here was way out of my price range. Good reading if you like to fanticise about owning one of those automobiles. Sorry, I can't do this at all.

Countryside & Small Stock Journal

This magazine is not your usual one with glossy-pages, full of advertisements with long-lashed, heavily made up models. It is printed on recycled paper and if full of articles from readers and the publisher.

It is like a library full of information on self-reliant living. I keep all of my copies for reference, because I return to each one constantly.

You'll find everything from how to make your own yogurt [it was easy and delicious] to how to build your own log home.

Great reading, great publication.

We just recently discovered this magazine. We were at our local library and saw an old copy. We borrowed it from the library and we're glad we did. The magazine is filled with wonderful articles. We have subscribed to the magazine, and it will become another resource to help us as we simplify our life.

The magazine was established in 1917. It is still popular today and supports the voluntary simplicity movement by providing articles to sustain a simple life

The magazine features reader-written personal experiences and photos. Each magazine is packed with lots of good information from people who are actually living a simple life.

This magazine is like no other. All the articles are written by subscribers. They cover any and all topics of small scale farming, simple living, homesteading, etc. There are classifieds where people can ask for help with projects or ask for people to send info on a specific topic. Each magazine is **FULL** of information. I LOVE this magazine. I recommend it for any and all who have even the slightest interest in simple living.

If you live in the country and have a hobby-type farm, this magazine is bulging with valuable information. I was surprised to find no color pages at first, but the magazine is recycleable paper printed with soy ink...very cool. Out of all the country type magazines I've read, this one is the best.

I recently renewed my subscription to Countryside after 11 years. I don't remember the editor being so far-left. Neither my husband or I can stomach his articles praising Obama (preparing for the repurcussions desined to follow this man's disasterous policies are why we are seeking to live more self-sufficiently). We overwhelmingly prefer BackHome Magazine for useful information and articles written by like-minded limited-government, self-sufficient enthusiasts.

Garden & Gun

I first saw G&G at my eye doctor's office. He's originally from Louisiana. When I saw the name I knew my husband would like it. We both grew up in New England and have never lived in the south or spent any time there but we both really enjoy this magazine. Beautiful photographs and excellent writing on a wide variety of subjects: food, music, art, books, dogs, nature conservation, architecture and design and of course gardens and guns. My husband grew up hunting and fishing but since we moved to Santa Fe he has had little opportunity. The articles in this magazine let him 'hunt' vicariously at the perfect quail shoot, dream about owning a $100k shotgun, or plan a dream vacation of eating crab at all the best places. This magazine shows the best country and cosmopolitan sides of the New South and makes us yearn for the gracious life style it depicts.

I just received my first issue of Garden and Gun, and while at first, I thought the name was a joke...the content is no laughing matter. It is a lovely magazine with several articles about Ernest Hemingway and the preservation of his home in Cuba and his boat. How can I not love a magazine that has one whole page with a beautiful photograph of a sailboat and a quote by Jimmy Buffett?

I'm impressed and when this year's subscription runs out, I will renew. Again and again.

It just goes to prove, don't judge a magazine by it's title.

Buy Garden & Gun Now

This is a top of the line literary magazine with attractions for both men and women. The writing is top notch professional. There are articles on shotguns, knives, gardening, homes and cooking, all slanted toward those who live or have lived in the southern United States. You WILL not understand nor like this magazine if you are north of Virginia or west of Texas. You will NOT like this magazine if you are on a deer stand the first day of deer season and love it. You will NOT like this magazine if you are an anti-gun liberal, although it is a non-political publication. You WILL like this magazine if you like good literature and want information about good places to visit and eat. There are errors in writing however that lead me to believe that the proof readers and/or editors live in New York City. (Clinton, Mississippi, home of Barry Hannah, is not north of Jackson, but west. An apparent mix-up with Canton, Mississippi, which is north). Part of the fun is looking for the errors, which are not numerous, but do exist. This magazine takes the place of the now yankee-ized Southern Living, and improves on it greatly.

This is a great magazine if you're interested in Southern culture. All of the articles are well written and cover a broad array of topics from hunting to cuisine to travel. Physically, the magazine is impressive as well. High quality paper, large pages and impressive photography are all positive characteristics of the magazine.

The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because it only includes 6 issues in a 12 month period.

I look forward to receiving this magazine so much, and I read it cover to cover every time. The hunting pieces I'm not so into, but they are a part of the culture in the South. This is a classy, beautiful magazine that hits off-the-beaten-path places and people. It's really a delight.

Marathon & Beyond

Marathon & Beyond is, simply put, a treasure. It is published by a group of fanatical running enthusiasts who get to know their subscribers. I met them at a running expo one year, and the next year they remembered the encounter.

Ok, the magazine. Great, long articles without full-page ads for muscle-building supplements and the like. Well-thought out training tips. Race reviews. Gear reviews. Fiction and non-fiction epic running stories. And great subscriber letter feedback in the form of Q&As every issue.

No, it ain't cheap. But it is worth supporting something this great for less than the cost of ONE running shoe.

It isn't cheap, but if you are really into marathons or ultras, this is a wonderful magazine to subscribe to. Best out there.

Astronomy Now

This is a fine magazine but I do have a couple of questions:

Why is the subscription cost $80 on Amazon while the Astronomy Now Annual Subscription is $69.00 on the publisher's website?

An $11 surcharge for the opportunity to buy from Amazon?

The magazine is terrific. With regular updates and rich photography, "Astronomy Now" is a must for all astro-enthusiasts!! It, incidentallyy is the best-selling astronomy magazine in the UK

Nice astronomy magazine with the usual variety, maybe a little heavier on equipment and tech, which I like.

Cottage Journal

This magazine is so wonderful!! Chocked full of wonderful decor and recipes!! The reader who said that it was cottage is using her description of what cottage is to define what she feels is cottage. . .but her definition of cottage only encompasses a portion of the market and they are concerned with the whole market. . .to me cottage is more of a feeling. I love all kinds of cottages. . .beach, mountain etc. Each has more of specific feel but all are cottages. Magazine is great you will not be disappointed unless you are expecting only one type of cottage.

I simply adore the first Winter issue of The Cottage Journal! It is so nice to have a winter-themed issue in addition to the Christmas/holiday-themed issue. Everything about this magazine is warm and cozy with tons of fireplace and cabin settings along with snowy scenery. It is definitely shows cold weather cottage style and decor. I only wish I could visit and recreate the rooms shown! I am looking forward to seeing the Spring issue with all its pretty floral-themed cottages and bright colors!

Buy Cottage Journal Now

Just gotta say this magazine is NOT my idea of "cottage". I like quaint, shabby, charming, cute, pretty, vintage, antique, cozy, etc. To me those words define the "cottage" look. So I subscribed.

I just received the winter issue of Cottage Journal & it is, in one word, BROWN. All the pictures are brown brown wood, brown furniture, brown dishes, brown fabric, just brown. Now that is just not cottage to me. Where is the quaint, the chintz, the white, the cream, the shabby, the vintage, the cozy??? the pink, the aqua, the yellow, the green??? Have these people ever seen cottage decor? I will say this is a really good quality magazine with tons of pictures, nice & large, cover to cover just not pictures of anything I would want to copy in my own home some are downright ugly. I don't get it they should have named the magazine whatever is opposite to "cottage" journal. I will not be renewing my subscription $24 for 6 issues.

Vanity Fair July 2007 Africa Issue, Bono/Queen Rania Cover

Bono is doing a great job bringing Africa into the spotlight. This is one of his latest attempts to draw more attention to the neediest continent on the planet. All in all it was a well done issue. As for this particular cover, I got it mainly in hopes of getting his autograph someday :)

Product was received in very good condition. Thank you for mailing the product in a timely manner! Product is exactly what I expected.

Dish

I've bought several issues of Dish when on vacation in New Zealand, where it costs the equivalent of $6 US. It is beautifully produced, with excellent graphics and enticing pictures. The recipes are about right for my taste, fairly ambitious but not impossibly hard. Others might feel differently about that, of course. The recipes have metric quantities and oven temperatures are in Celsius, but there is a useful conversion page near the end of each issue. This may seem intimidating at first, but in fact you get used to it pretty quickly. Many or most of the recipes have full-page photos.

Many of the articles are local to New Zealand, naturally, for instance one about truffle growing there, so probably the magazine would not be as charming to someone who does not know that country. Still, it is a very good food magazine. It is just a pity that the very high postage costs from down under make it so expensive in the US.

Addendum as of 11/20/10: This magazine is available in electronic form on Zinio.com for the much more reasonable price of $19.17 for six issues. I don't think the web version offers nearly the tactile pleasure that the paper one does, but it is one heck of a lot cheaper. You can read parts of a sample issue at the site if you want to check it out.

I had to check this ad twice. Who would pay $100.00 for six issues of a magazine? I subscribe to over 30 magazines a month and I would not consider this magazine.

Islands (1-year auto-renewal)

Islands Magazine is a must for the travel lover. Each issue features stunning photography, articles from people who have visited various world islands, and advertisements on popular travel destinations around the globe.

The articles covered in this magazine usually focus on popular islands for travelers, like the Caribbean, South Pacific Islands, Hawaii, etc. But on occassion, the magazine features other islands, too, including those that are not as popular as tourist destinations like the Balearic Islands, Ceylon, Madagascar, and others.

There are LOTS of advertisements in this magazine, and that might not sit well with some readers who prefer more articles and less selling. But the ads are helpful to the reader because they often include bargain prices. There are also classified ads from other readers who have island vacation property to rent.

If you like to travel and you love water, then Islands magazine is a great publication to read. The photography alone makes it worth while. It will tempt you to head to the nearest travel agency and book your tropical beach vacation asap!

I'm a canadian girl (picture snow-filled childhood) currently living in Seattle (picture gloomy, dark, rain filled days --10 months of the year). Until 3 years ago, my husband and I were living in the virgin islands, and before that, I spent several years in Trinidad. Imagine my sunshine withdrawl. Sometimes I think we truly must be crazy to have left. This magazine is a regular fixture in our bathroom, and I practically stalk the mail man, waiting for it's arrival each month. While I can't afford a real tropical vacation every time I need one, Islands gives me a great quick-fix, allowing me a glimpe of the island life I dream of one day returning to. With stunning photography and wonderfully written island profiles covering every corner of the globe, this is the best subscription I've ever ordered. I'm hooked for life. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because there are (in my econo-travelers opinion) too many advertisements for high-priced resorts.

This is the only magazine I subscribe to I love it because it has wonderful timeless images of places and people which simply exude calm, chill, beach bum latitude attitudes. There's little cultural or political commentary here; these destinations are described and presented simply as perfectionist's paradise which may not be reality, but it makes me want to hop on a plane and go. Photography is top notch and there is a section at the end of every issue giving travel details for each island described (including local costs, times, and places to stay and eat.

The photography is fantastic. I love the shots of tropical islands, clear blue sky, soft white sands, palm trees, and crystal ocean water. Basically, paradise on display. Period. Unfortunately, everything else about the magazine is disappointing: The articles are junk, usually full of random babble which provides no real insight into searching, planning and executing a vacation. The advertising is marginally better, but the options are all limited. I can (and do) get more useful information from my travel agent, discount travel magazines & brochures, word-of-mouth, and the internet.

I thought this magazine would be a great "virtual" vacation every time it arrived in the mail. The problem was that it only lasted about 15 minutes, the amount of time it took to read through the entire mag. The one claim to fame, however, for Islands magazine is that it introduced me to my honeymoon destination, the South Pacific, many years ago. Even with this, though, the most useful information was found on the internet.

For about $15/year, this isn't a bad deal. But, if anyone knows of a magazine with Islands' photo quality, and useful articles, please post.
