Do It Yourself (2-year)

So many great ideas! I can't wait till the next issue arrives. Ranges from very simple to labor intense but always projects that most can do.

I also took another'a advice and went to the magazine's website. I got two full years for 19.99 and I got a full year subscription to Better Homes and Garden (their sister publication) for only $5.

Buy Do It Yourself (2-year) Now

This is my favorite magazine and the only one that I will subscribe to again and again. It has wonderful projects that are reasonably inexpensive. The pictures are colorful and beautiful. In one section, they'll take something (for instance, a plain coffee table) and do it three different ways to give you some options on how you would like to do it to fit into your decor. I haven't found a project yet that I wouldn't want to do in this magazine.

The downside is that it only comes bi-monthly. I would sure love to see it in my mailbox every month, or even every other week for that matter!

Browse through it in the magazine section..........you will love it!

Don't be fooled by the idea that "if it's here on Amazon, it must be the best price". Case in point, Amazon is offering 'do it yourself' for $19.97 for a 1-year subscription which sounds great until you visit the 'do it yourself' website directly and see that they are offering a 2-year subscription for $19.97!! As always, it pays to do your homework.

I have not subscribed to this magazine, instead I borrowed four or five different issues from my local library. As a free magazine it is terrific, very entertaining. If I were paying for it I would love it a little less.

The magazine is full of different projects, some of them amazing and some of them a little nutty. I sort of hate to say it, but some of the finished projects (and these are done by professionals and photographed by more professionals) *look* handmade. Also there was a handful of little typos (and one page was printed so that the colors were off and impossible to read) that gave it a slightly unprofessional feeling.

Flash - Ca

This is one of the better mags out there. If you are one of the people that doesn't like to read, or can't, than this mag is for you, it doesn't have the informative articles that Tattoo has, this is more of he picture version. It's great for ideas and tattoo artist review. Good mag!!

This is my favorite tattoo rag next to HardCore Tattoos. Unlike the rest, Tattoo Flash cuts out the ads and BS while maintaining a variety of fresh art plus a section dedicated to reader submitted flash.

Buy Flash - Ca Now

This magazine is a spin off of "Tattoo" magazine. In both magazines you see many of the same tattoos over and over. It's as if there aren't thousands of tattooed folks out there to get good work from. The flash is fair. Some of it is just plain garbage. If you want to see a "great" tat mag buy "Skin Deep". It's out of the UK. They beat the US tat mags hands down.

I was at the tattoo place at the beginning of 2006, with my sister. While waiting for her tattoo to be completed, I was browsing thru their sorts of magazines. I ran across a page that showed Hello Kitty tattoo art. I LOVE that one. A few months later I returned to find that art so the artist could do this one on me. Unfortunately that mag is now gone. :(

Is there a way that you have old mags still in stock? Could you look it up for me? I think this is the right magazine or it could have been from a different author.

Thanks,

Judy

The New Yorker (1-year auto-renewal)

you might get a better deal by calling The New Yorker subsciption office directly: 800-825-2510. My mailed renewal notice price was $89.95/2 years, but they offered me $50/2 years when I called and spoke to a CSR.

I have been subscribing to the New Yorker for five years now, and it has been a very enlightening experience. The New Yorker does its part in covering big news stories, but it's not really a news magazine. The perspectives are unique (and admittedly lean to the left), and the kind you're not likely to get elsewhere. The authors use the first person because they tend to be part of the stories they're covering. Take Jon Lee Anderson, probably the most credible reporter covering the Middle East today. His "Letters From" various cities involve accounts of his meetings with locals and leaders.

Other segments are more like NPR stories--unique perspectives on largely uncovered topics that aren't time-sensitive. You'll get in-depth looks into developments in medicine, law, architecture, etc., that otherwise wouldn't get on your radar unless you were in that profession. And, the writers incorporate the "larger questions" in stories focused on recent events. Like Malcolm Gladwell's recent account of a playwright who plagiarized material from a former article written by him. He parlayed his personal struggle into a good summary of legal and ethical positions on the use or development of one person's idea by another.

I have grown to look forward to reading the Fiction selection each week. Sometimes I don't like the piece, but I enjoy getting the chance to read writers that I normally wouldn't and those that I normally would.

Additionally, the magazine has added more dedicated issues--most recently the "Food" issue, in addition to standbys like the "Style" and "Fiction" issues. I loved the "Food" issue, especially one writer's account of the search for truly authentic pasta that involved a work night in Mario Batali's kitchen and a trip to Italy.

I enjoy the balance of hard news, balanced interest stories, and arts that the New Yorker provides. I began my subscription to get a different perspective than what I got from local Southern news, and I keep it for the same reasons and many more.

Over 10 years ago, my high school English teacher recommended that all of his students get a subscription to The New Yorker. He often xeroxed the fiction pieces for us to read, and was known for saying, "If you read this magazine cover to cover each week, you'll learn almost everything you need to know about what's going on in the world." Because I thought he was great, I got a subscription, and have never regretted it. For a few years I read only the fiction pieces and the poetry, and gradually moved towards the Talk of the Town, and beyond.

I haven't lived in the New York area since high school, but each week when my New Yorker comes I gleefully pick it up and begin reading. First the poems, then the Talk of the Town, and then... who knows? I am never disappointed.

Love the magazine. The rating is because of this price. Folks don't be fooled!

Prompted by the poster from 2009, I called customer service at 800-825-2510. Couldn't get a $50 rate but did get $59.99 for two years just by asking what was their best one year rate ($39.99) and then the two year rate.

Thanks for the tip.

Want The New Yorker (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

I've subscribed to the New Yorker for at least the last 8 years. Like National Geographic, I find it hard to throw away old issues, and I wind up storing them in boxes imagining that I will someday catch up on missed articlesor revisit old favorites. With a new issue arriving weekly, this is will probably never happen, unless, of course, I suspend my subscriptionwhich I would hate to do.

Contrary to its dry and stodgy reputation among those who have never picked up a copy, the New Yorker is eminently engaging and readable. The "New Yorker Style" seems to be one of continuous vivid descriptionbut always to serve the subject. It is like the "NPR: All Things Considered" of print. Indeed, for me, the magazine's ever varied subject matter (no subject is out of bounds for the magazineas long as it can be presented in an interesting fashion) is often beside the point. A typical article gives a such rich sense of persona and place that makes reading on any topicwhether it be an inside look at a noted political figure or the recent turmoil in Zimbabwe or a trip inside the head of a noted film director (stuff that would hardly interest me otherwise)a sensual delight. Put another way, one thing all New Yorker writers seem to have in common is an exceptional gift for prose.

This is not to say that the magazine is all style and no substance. On the contrary, the New Yorker frequently throws a very big hat into the ring of popular discourse on a wide range of topics. Noted New Yorker writers will frequently pop up on talking-heads shows defending their controversial, yet compelling, assertions.

The New Yorker is often in depthwith very little fluff space that, with minimal page real estate eaten up by graphic designer fillarticles often run to great length. On the other hand, those who are in the mood for a bite sized morsel can read the cartoons, arts reviews at the back of the magazine, or, my favorite partthe Talk of the Towna half dozen or so slices-of-life features with range from the oddball to the frightening.

Writers such as Jeffrey Toobin are often amazingly prescient in their early analysis of various rising luminaries on the political and cultural scene. One reason to hold on to old copies of the magazine is have the ability to go back again and see how much of the political behavior of, say, Dick Cheney, had been foretold by his earlier actions.

The New Yorker is also unpretentious. While many articles (and indeed cartoons) assume a bit more in depth cultural and/or pop-cultural knowledge than the unadventurous reader of USA-Today, (or, worse yet, MSN.com) might possess, the writers are not haughty or preachy. Humor abounds, especially in back pages devoted to critics. Though I frequently disagree with film critics Anthony Lane (capricious) and Terrance Rafferty (curmudgeony), their critiques make me laugh out loud. The truly unpretentious nature of the writing of the New Yorker is clearest in the "Shouts and Murmurs" section. Any magazine that prints a lovingly composed work of absolute nonsense by Steve Martin from time to time is worth giving a shot.

Men's Health (1-year auto-renewal)

As a regular reader of "Men's Health," I have long enjoyed its articles for their entertaining style and the useful information contained in its pages. After several years, however, it has become obvious that there are only so many abs exercises, or amusing sex tips, or ways to portray men as charmingly stupid. I realize that I no longer need to buy the magazine as I can just look at the back issues I have instead. It covers the basics well, but does it over and over, so my advice is to enjoy it for a year and then go on to more advanced things on your own.

I've enjoyed subscribing to Men's Health magazine in the past but I had to stop to prevent being sold products and renewals without my authorization. Be aware that with your subscription, they will automatically renew your subscription "for your convenience" and bill you accordingly.

Also, I would receive post-card notices in the mail about their latest fitness guide ($28) and how I can "preview" it for 21 days. Of course, I think not and toss the card out. Too bad I didn't pay close enough attention. I have to fill out and send the card back in order to decline. The fitness guide shows up in the mail and I have 21 days to repack it and ship it back. They got me with two of them (I admit, I did fail to get it shipped back before 21 days was up) and, along with the auto-renewal, I had enough and called and told them I didn't want to be a customer anymore. Fine....I thought. It's been four months since my last issue and here I am now with a postcard from Rodale Books about previewing the 2008 Fitness Guide. I guess cancelling my subscription wasn't enough to keep them from auto-selling me stuff.

Can you imagine this new tactic of selling becoming the norm? The retailer gets to choose what we order and it's up to us to decline it. Crazy! If you google for "Rodale return card 14 days" you'll see that there are some who have attempted to sue Rodale over this. Think twice before ordering this magazine and being subjected to the same sales tactics.

I know that Amazon does not have the option of zero stars but if given that option, I would still give Men's Health one star for at least its content. I have been a fairly consistent subscriber to the magazine for about 6 years and I have definitely been educated and entertained by its content. The authors and layout staff have definitely made Men's Health a pleasure to read.

Unfortunately, over the last couple of years that I have noticed, the parent company, Rodale has been engaging in some fairly poor business practices. First off, they love to send random hardcover books to you and charge you for them without you ever really consenting to it. There is basically no way for you to ship back the books without costing a fortune on shipping fees. To my knowledge, there is no option of opting out of this.

Also, unlike a lot of other normal magazines, Rodale never gives you the option of renewing your subscription. They pretty much just send you a bill at the end of your original renewal period and charge you for the next period automatically. If you do not respond they will send your debt to a collection agency and that is a whole different nightmare to deal with.

Of course I'm sure if we all read that thing we signed before subscribing to the magazine that there will be a section in small print informing us that Rodale can do whatever it wants. In that aspect, it is indeed my fault for letting them take advantage of me but I have recently canceled my subscription and never plan to subscribe again until Rodale decides to change its policies.

Read Best Reviews of Men's Health (1-year auto-renewal) Here

My problem isn't with the magazine itself, but with their new (or at least new to me) subscription policy. Subscriptions now automatically renew, which means you will start receiving bills months before your current subscription ends. If you decide you don't want to renew you must call them. If you don't they will turn you over to a collection agency, even if you don't receive issues from the new subscription.

I have subscribed to Men's Health off an on for many years, and even own some of their books. This is the first time I have had this problem, and it will be the last. Apparently they are getting desperate trying to keep their subscribers.

Aside from the fact that this magazine has very little to do with REAL men, it's publisher, RODALE has treated me very unfairly.

You will get bombarded with glossy junk mail and they will automatically renew your subscription without your approval. If you ignore it, they will have North Shore Agency (collector) send you a collections notice. Think I'm kidding? Just Google it. They do this to everyone.

My wife got me a subscription through her airline miles program. I hated the magazine and never renewed it. Apparently that means little to Rodale. I got a notice from North Shore and challenged them to prove I asked for a renewal. Never heard back. I expect to see this on a TV "rip-off" report soon. You've been warned!!

National Geographic Kids

I had a subscription to National Geographic's original kids magazine, World, when I was a child. In fact, I still have a couple dozen issues from about 25 years ago, which my 5 years old son has enjoyed looking through.

A few months ago, I looked on the web to see if World still existed. Happily, it did, now renamed National Geographic Kids. I ordered a two-year subscription for my son.

I wanted so much to like it. But the damn thing is chock full of advertising for candy, video games and movies, and in a way that makes it hard to separate the selling from the educating. It is a little repulsive, actually, the level to which the advertising is carried.

As I sit here in front of my computer, I am looking wistfully at a May 1982 issue of World magazine. Within which, there is not one stich of advertising.

What happened?

The magazine is one huge ad. Even the feature stories are all about selling some popular culture fad. A great example is a story about how the Incredible Hulk "evolved" from its comic book roots through its TV show to its currently released movie version. Most of the feature stories are like this. They are selling current films or pop singers, not teaching your children anything. I cannot describe how bad this magazine is.

When I was young I had a subscription to the National Geographic kids magazine which was at the time called "World" magazine. It was interesting, and I held onto my subscription for nearly 8 years. My parents remembering how much I enjoyed this magazine, bought my daughter a subscription to the latest incarnation of this magazine. The National Geographic Kids. It is SUCH a disappointment. While I don't think there are actually any more ads in this magazine than any other, there are far too many "articles" that act as full page advertisements for Movies & Television shows. They also have a monthly calendar that spends more time announcing birthdays of celebrities and movie release dates (?) and fun facts about pop stars(?)than historically or scientifically relevant dates. In the January 2004 edition only 24 of the 40 pages were free of ads or movie/television related articles/images. The articles are without depth. Most of the information in this magazine is segmented into "sound byte" sized chunks. It is more like an "Entertainment Weekly" for kids. National Geographic should be ashamed put its name on such an obvious attempt to feed our kids even MORE pop culture. We will not resubscribe!

Want National Geographic Kids Discount?

I am truly appalled that National Geographic would squander it's reputation by putting out such a low quality publication. Never again will I assume that the National Geographic name confers high quality or intellectual integrity. I found what little educational content there was to be dumbed down and lacking in focus. I also found both the excessive amount and the type of "tween" targeted advertising to be inappropriate for a supposedly educational magazine.

Before subscribing, I had only seen seen "samples" of this magazine, but the samples are not at all like the real thing. The samples had more pages of educational content than the real magazine.

When we received a subscription as a gift, I was appalled at both the excessive amount and the type of advertising not at all appropriate for younger elementary students, nor in any way related to the supposedly educational focus. I was so disturbed by the content of some of the ads for violent video games and inappropriate movies, that I did not even show the magazine to my son.

As a science educator, I decided to quantify my impression, so I counted the advertising pages vs. the actual educational content and the non-educational pop culture drek (star interviews, movie reviews, product reviews). In the 56 page issue I reviewed, there was only 21 pages of "educational content" (including the cover and some pretty lame trivia), ads took up 17 and 2/3 pages and there were 12 and 2/3 pages of non-educational pop culture drek and thinly disguised marketing (including star interviews, movie and product reviews, non-educational jokes or puzzles). The last 4 and 1/3 pages included crafts (2 pages), one educational puzzle (1 page) and the publishing info & contents (1 and 1/3 pages).

Draw your own conclusions. I'm cancelling our subscription AND I'll look twice at any kid's products marketed by National Geographic in the future. They (National Geographic) have lost the confidence of a former lifelong fan.

Weight Watchers Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

There are not too many magazines that you can really enjoy. Some are filled with way too many ads, and others have a lot of things that really don't apply. This magazine blends weight loss issues, along with articles, on food, fashion, and beauty. Their recipes are easy to make, and don't require a lot of complicated ingredients that you can't find. I have enjoyed the articles on beauty and fashion as sometimes we loose focus on the positive things we can do for ourselves. Best of all even if you are not on their program the magazine still has a lot to offer you. I would consider this magazine if you are concerned about eating healthy, losing weight, and trying to look good.

This is an excellent magazine for those who are trying to lose weight or maintain their weight. It provides recipes for well balanced, low fat meals. It usually features a motivational article, as well as articles on proper nutrition and exercise in order to achieve a healthier lifestyle. I wish that that the articles were a little more substantive, however, and that the magazine, as a whole, would have less filler. Still, as a current subscriber, I find the magazine to be a generally useful tool for someone who is trying to effect a more healthy lifestyle.

You may think this will be geared just for the person who is on Weight Watchers but it has more. You will find articles on beating diseases, articles on beauty, fashion and makeup, exercise tips, advice on supplements and of course, recipes. I don't cook much but I have used some of the recipes in this magazine. I found them easy and healthy. This is a great magazine and I highly recommend it.

Boston Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

I am surprised at those who subscribed to Boston Magazine, which is always more or less the same, and then exclaimed with surprise at how it focuses on "the elite" and "isn't the real Boston." Didn't they look at it before they bought it?

Boston Magazine is a frothy ad-filled city magazine with some fun features & a lot of fluff. Its "Best of" issue is widely read & the reviews can be useful but it is not a serious periodical. More of a provincial Vanity Fair.

If that appeals to you, then subscribe.

This is a fantastic aircooled magazine. It consists of great pictures, event coverage, and helpful tech articles.

Something I don't feel other VW mags do well. They cover more customized VWs but will present stockers as well. This magazines also has great information if you are interested in high performance engines and are into the racing scene. Finally, they have several recurring themes each year, such as the February California Look issue (my favorite) or the Baja issue, etc. I have been a buyer/subscriber for the last 10 years and I plan on continuing as long as they are in print.

RC Driver (1-year auto-renewal)

This is a well balanced magazine with great reviews that are accurate and not just rehashes of a press release like other, not to be named, publications that produce magazines that are more like advertising catalogs! You can not go wrong with RC Driver!

I'm recently getting back in to RC cars, and figured the best way to catch up was to grab a couple of magazines.

Between RC Driver and Radio Control Car Action, I have to say that RC Driver is the publication that isn't geared toward tween boys. It's almost like the difference between Car and Driver and Maxim, except that Maxim usually doesn't have as many errors in grammar and spelling.

RC Driver offers thoughtful reviews on new products, as well as useful tips that anybody can use (this month, for example, it's how to paint your own designs on Lexan bodies). It isn't as OMG IN YOUR FACE XTREEM CUSTOMZ RC 4 LYFE!!!1! as Radio Control Car Action seems to be.

It's also a pretty decent deal on auto-renew, if you don't know someone who wants to do the buy-one-get-one promo that they advertise in the magazine.
