DRAFT Magazine

DRAFT MagazineI subscribe to 3 beer mags; draft, all about beer and beer conisuer. Draft is my favorite of the 3. I really enjoy beer and I feel the Draft beer reviews are the most comprehensive. The beers they choose to review are typically from more well known breweries which makes finding them a bit easier than the beers in Beer Conisuer. The quality of the paper is nice and thick and the pictures are well done. The stories are interesting enough and short enough to keep your attention. What I dislike is that the magazine does not seem to come at exactly the 2 month in between period (it is 6 six issues a year) and the beer festivals that are advertised are usually over by the time I get my copy. Would prefert to pay more for a magazine that came monthly and had more reviews of beer.

I think the magazine is really a fun read for beer nuts like myself. However the articles tend to be a little to high end for my taste with the occasional local dive thrown in. Given that Beer in America is really at the beginning of a revolution you'd think the magazine would focus more on how these grass roots movements are growing and update the audience on their status.

The beer reviews are really interesting, usually the beer is available but not easily obtainable, which I like. Not so obscure as to be irrelevant but if you wanna try it you can't just go to BevMo, usually.

The layout is great, easy to read and find your way through.

I renewed my subscription.

Bought a deal for a subscript to Draft. Great articles and information for us beer drinkers and lovers. I found beer after beer and bar after bar to try out and loved that. I was moving out of state and have been trying to get ahold of someone to change my address since last year August. I paid good money for these magazines and can't believe that I couldn't get anyone to respond to get this handled. Have a great product doesn't excuse you from giving good customer service to the people purchasing said product. Get it together Draft Mag!

My only complaint is that there is no tablet or digital version to this magazine. I might cancel my subscription and look for something else as I hate wasting paper.

4wd Toyota Owner

4wd Toyota OwnerI don't subscribe to many magazines, but when this mag came out I just had to have a subscription. I subscribed online and received my first copy about a week later. It's one of the best things I've ever done!

This magazine is great packed full of USEFUL articles. There are a tons of articles on repairs and upgrades, new equipment coming out, driving tips, 4WD events, how-to articles, and more. The photos are great, not too many ads, and I've learned so much from each issue. I give this magazine a "10" I highly recommend this mag for anyone who has a 4WD Toytoa!

I've subscribed to this magazine since the very first issue. The articles and tech write ups are top notch minus a few typos. Compared to some other Toyota specific magazines like "toyota trails",4wd Toyota Owner gives much more room for "how to" and

"build up" articles and not so much space is wasted on reporting a trip that a few guys took to D'lo Mississippi in search of the rare jara jara edition fj40 like some magazines. So if you ever wanted to know what other engine would fit into your 85 pickup or how to increase the horsepower on your mall cruiser i would highly recommend this magazine.

I purchased this for my husband who loves his Toyota truck. He loved it and read the magazine cover to cover. He hardly ever reads anything cover to cover! I used it as a Christmas list because he found things in it that he wanted to add to his truck but didn't want to spend the money on. Here is the reason I only gave it 3 stars... We didn't receive all of our issues. I contacted Amazon and they were very helpful. After contacting them, we received one of the missing magazines. We only received 4 magazines total. I have ordered it again because the hubby loved it so much. I will have to make sure I contact Amazon or the magazine as soon as we notice we didn't get one of them.

Here is the break down...

1. The magazine itself is great and lots of information.

2. The magazine has great ideas for purchases and upgrades to your truck

3. Not getting all of your magazines kinds of sucks.

Finally a magazine for yota drivers without having to go through all the "JEEP" stuff first!!!!Good info and articles for such a new mag !! Look forward to it every other month.

Texas Gardener

Texas GardenerIt's hard to find good information that really applies to Texas gardening. I enjoy lots of gardening magazines, but most of them are East-coast centric and simply don't apply to our state's unique gardening requirements. This magazine is excellent and just what I was looking for. I would recommend it to beginning or experienced gardeners alike.

I love this magazine. It's been a real help with my vegetable garden, giving a nice timeline of what and when to plant. The plant suggestions and advice, esp as regards to fruits and vegs, have been wonderful. It's pretty costly IMHO but on the plus side, there are very few ads, unlike Mother Earth News or BHG. All in all, a great magazine for the Texas gardener.

I have subscribed to Texas Gardener for many, many years. It has timely articles, gives common sense advice and is entertaining all at the same time. I've kept all my issues and refer back to them any time I have a question. I got a good price on Amazon.

This magazine is a wonderful resource for anyone attempting to garden in Texas' diverse and sometimes challenging climate and soils. Well worth the price.

This magazine is so helpful, provides detailed lists of what to do for the month or two ahead. Covers this diverse state well. I've picked it up from time to time on the newsstand but never subscribed. Now I won't be without it!

Daedalus - Journal of the American Academy of Arts & Science

Daedalus - Journal of the American Academy of Arts & ScienceI'm surprised there are no other reviews of this important journal. As the main journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, it can be said that no other periodical quite fills its niche. Bringing together articles on a vast array of topics by the best minds in their fields it has been a journal that has not only been a forum for discussing current trends and issues in the arts and sciences but also forecasting and predicting them too. I refer to one of my favorite issues, which was devoted to The Report of the Committee on the Year 2000, which came out in the late 60s, and brought together a panel of distinguished scholars and scientists who attempted to extrapolate current trends forty years into the future. It was a great issue and may have been the genesis of Daniel Bell's The Coming of Post Industrial Society (Bell was chosen as the sociologist of the group), published many years later in 1976. Bell correctly predicted the information age, the service economy, a de-emphasizing of industrialism, the expansion of knowledge workers (especially in biology and the hard sciences), the increasing role of women in the work force, and other trends in this seminal work. But it may have all started in an issue of Daedalus. Overall, a journal that showcases the best and brightest minds of our civilization, often particularly with regard to those developments in the arts and sciences that are currently of interest to both the layman and the academic alike.

Lymphology

LymphologyLymphology is a fairly technical journal that would appeal mostly to professionals. I have lymphedema, and I am a Registered Nurse. I enjoy the articles greatly. I feel that reading Lymphology helps me to stay up-to-date on lymphedema issues.

Entrepreneur

EntrepreneurWell over half the magazine is advertisements, very few articles from which i've learned nothing at all. I would recommend taking a look at their website (entrepreneur.com) instead of subscribing to their magazine. Their website contains better articles that can be more helpful than those found in the magazine.

It's funny because I didn't realize how useless this magazine is for me until i read some of the other reviews here. I'm about half-way through an already paid for 2-year subscription to this magazine. I always make sure to keep my copy of each issue because somehow it feels like it holds some important information that will propel me forward as an entrepreneur. I have their website listed in my Favorites. Cause I'm a big time businessman who gets a magazine called "Entrepreneur" for entrepreneurs like myself. Yeah right! The truth of the matter is the magazines are perfectly stacked and in mint condition because as soon as I've flipped through it once, subconsciously I realize there's nothing of value there. A lot of ads with get-rich quick schemes. A list of 500 franchises. Blah blah blah.

Business 2.0, Wired, Inc., Fast Company, Investor's Business Daily, The Wall Street Journal. These are the business magazines and newspapers that give today's entrpreneur a thorough guide to "the jungle".

Entrepreneur? Just a fancy-sounding title. And soon to be a stack in the recycle bin.

And as far as motivation goes, I get more by flipping through an issue of Robb Report than I have ever gotten by reading any one article in Entrepreneur.

Buy Entrepreneur Now

I have read this magazine on and off for a several years and wanted to add my 2 cents. Yes, the magazine does have many ads for business opportunities. But this is exactly something I want to read and evaluate, the marketplace of business opportunities. Many of these are franchise opportunities, which is exactly where the first time entrepreneur should start. The articles are generally well written and many will obviously be useful, but not all. The value of each article often depends on where you are in the business creation process. It was not until I read the E-Myth Revisited that I understood the value of these franchises. This magazine slices and dices the franchises by many metrics to help you find one where you are most likely to both succeed and be happy. The magazine is easily worth more than the price to any person seriously starting or building a small enterprise. Hope this has been helpful to the entrepreneurs out there.

This magazine is great just for keeping the spirit. It's filled with many success stories. But hardly any of those success stories include the details that led them into success. It's also extremely geared towards franchising. Every other article, and every other ad is about franchising. I have a one year subscription and at this point I'm bored. I'll keep the subscription, but it's highly unlikely that I will renew next year.

*** Though one should check out their web site at entrepreneur.com. You will find that it is the total opposite of the magazine, and will prove to be a great wealth of information.

My biz partner and I were excited to receive our first mag from this group. We were sorely disappointed. Most of the articles are not new information, but "rehashed" info widely available. We read it cover to cover for about 4 months, then cancelled the subscription. There are better sources out there and this is not one of them!!

Wood (2-year auto-renewal)

WoodI really look forward to this magazine. They have given me lots of ideas for projects to build. The plans that they give you are very easy to follow with nice clear pictures. Some of the projects are kind of lame. And some of the articles they have seem to be repeats, just changed up a little. Overall though I really enjoy looking through it. I just wish it came more often.

I thought this would be a bunch of tool ads with pictures of other people's projects mixed in -but I was surprised to find plans, tips, and reviews that were very readable and fun. I plan to get the DVDs as soon as I can afford it.

Purchasing Amazon magazines is a good experience and I've never had issues and this is no exception! For the price it's great and I hope it stays published, especially with most magazines going digital or closing up shop. I'm not a fan of digital magazines.

Wood is a great magazine with very detailed articles on how to build stuff as well as neat tips, tricks and jigs to use in the shop. I wish some of the projects were made for beginner because some of the ones that they say are for beginners, requires you to have tools most beginners don't have. Other than that, I am happy with the purchase and keep them in the shop for reference.

Outdoor Photographer (1-year auto-renewal)

Outdoor PhotographerOutdoor Photographer is the essential how-to and where-to magazine for the outdoor photographer. I would recommend it for all levels of photographic skill, although most discussions of technique are suited to intermediate to advanced skill levels. There is only occasional discussion of the most basic techniques, as would benefit beginners. There are, however, so many great ideas on where and what to photograph that I think beginners can get a lot out of the magazine as well. And you won't be a beginner for long. The "outdoor" in the title does not refer exclusively to nature photography. Most of the magazine is dedicated to nature photography,but there are frequent articles on travel, location, and other sorts of outdoor photography, as well.

In Outdoor Photographer you will find how-to articles on lighting, exposure, filters, gear, preparing yourself and your gear for the elements -be they arctic cold or rain forest heat and humidity, along with some advice specifically for digital cameras and the digital darkroom. And you will find this information for everything from close-up to landscape photography. Outdoor photographer focuses primarily on 35 mm and digital photography, with an occasional article on medium format. The discussions of exposure, lighting and locations are applicable to all formats of photography, however. And there is George Lepp's monthly question and answer column for those questions on just about any photographic or digital imaging subject that are not answered elsewhere.

And now for the best part. Outdoor Photographer tells you where to get great outdoor photographs. "Favorite Places" is a one-page feature in every issue that tells you about a great place in the United States to photograph, what there is to see, and what time of the year is best. Be sure to save those in case you ever have the time and means to visit them all. In addition to "Favorite Places" there are featured articles in every issue that detail a place to photograph, how to get there, what to take, what to photograph, etc., frequently written by well-known nature photographers and accompanied by some of their terrific photographs. I counted 3 such articles in the last issue of OP that I received. If you are a photographer or hobbiest who is able to travel a lot, Outdoor Photographer is a terrific bargain just for the locations. And if you don't travel much, it will help you photograph your backyard and local parks and gardens well.

I have looked at many photography magazines many of them are just filled with ads....not what an amateur is looking for. I wanted indepth articles, helpful tips and information to help me improve my craft. I found it here. I read every issue cover to cover and back again. I find helpful information in every issue. I highly recommend this magazine even if you aren't purely an "outdoor" photographer.

Buy Outdoor Photographer (1-year auto-renewal) Now

I've been an "Outdoor Photographer" subscriber for many years and have watched the magazine slide steadily downhill. My current subscription expires in December and I won't be renewing for 2010. The latest renewal price from the publisher is $21.97 (a heck of a way to reward loyal subscribers)!

More than most photo mags, OP blurs the line between editorial content and advertising. The lack of objectivity is even more evident in their placement of paid ads -in most cases, directly adjacent to the article that cites the product or service!

Having worked in the publishing industry (trade magazines), I know from experience that the needs of the readers are always secondary to the needs of advertisers, but OP has gone too far. I dropped "Popular Photography" last year for much the same reason. I currently subscribe to "Digital Photo Pro" and "Photoshop User," as well as many photo-related websites and blogs.

Save your money to travel and create new photo opportunities!

Read Best Reviews of Outdoor Photographer (1-year auto-renewal) Here

What a load my subscription ran out and I get a notice from a collection agency threatening me if I didn't pay them for a subscription I didn't renew. This a month after my previous subscription expired. Werner publishing, also the publishers of Digital Photo Pro, PC photo and numerous other useless golf and video rags, seem to think this is the way to build customers. If you're tired of big companies messing with you, don't bother with this magazine. Even if it was free, it is little more than a glossy shill for the advertisers who pay to advertise.

For a fun game, try and find one negative review of a product from an advertiser that has a full page ad in the same issue. Good luck!

Want Outdoor Photographer (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

I let my original subscription run out without renewing, ignoring their numerous requests to sign up for another year. The publisher, Werner Publishing, sent my account to a collection agency, despite the fact that I had not purchased anything, nor said that I would renew the subscription. They sent me a threatening letter saying they were trying to collect a debt, and that "full payment is expected." When I called the agency, they even had a phone menu option for stating that you never renewed the magazine, showing clearly that this is a well-known, standardized process.

This tactic of harassing people and frightening them into coughing up $14.97 for a magazine renewal is unconscionable. They need to be held accountable for using this scare technique as part of their regular business practice. This publisher also publishes such magazines as PC Photo and Digital Photo Pro. At a minimum, they caused me to waste a fair amount of my time correcting the problem.

It's a shame, too, because the magazine is well-written, has great photography, and decent equipmnent reviews. Some outstanding photographers write here. However, their efforts are ruined by their terrible publisher. Do not support these harassment tactics. For a mere $14.97, they've permanently lost a customer, and I hope others as well.
