Luxury Travel Advisor

Luxury Travel AdvisorMy passion for travel is one of the reasons that led me to check out Luxury Travel Advisor magazine. I had initially heard of this magazine through the dvd "Untold Wealth:The Rise of the Rich". Technically, it is geared towards a travel agent who services wealthy clients. However, it is comparable to some of the other travel magazines because of the inclusion on cruise travel information and exciting travel destinations. My only caveat with "Luxury Travel Advisor" is that the magazine at times contains less travel articles and pages than some of the other cheaper travel magazines: "Conde Naste Traveler" and/or "Travel& Lesisure". For this reason, "Luxury Travel Advisor" is more for those who truly enjoy travel magazines and have a passion for traveling.

Classics Illustrated Junior

Classics Illustrated JuniorI am extremely pleased to be able to obtain these superbly resurrected versions of Classics Illustrated Junior. I have several already, and plan to purchase all issues made available. Except for a very slight reduction in size, these reproductions are exact reprints of the original books I enjoyed as a kid; I read every copy of both Classics Illustrated and Classics Illustrated Junior, I could get my hands on, back in the 1950s. I, like many unfortunate souls, allowed my collection to slip through my fingers over the years; hey, we read and traded comic books back then, we didn't collect them. I, like many people, wish I had. Now, I have another chance. I read the Classic Illustrated Junior publications to my 4-? year old granddaughter; she loves them. This time I plan to keep them, and pass them on for my great grandchildren to enjoy. The stories, illustrations, and material contained in these reprints are of exceptional quality. I believe it would be of great benefit to our youth to occasionally turn off their game boys and TV; sit back and enjoy these simple treasures. Both adults and children may actually develop an appreciation for a long-standing form of valued entertainment.

Gray's Sporting Journal (1-year auto-renewal)

Gray's Sporting JournalThis magazine is a pleasant change from "Field & Stream" and "Outdoor life" The articles are well written and harken back to a day and age when one had time to sit by the fire and read a good story. 5 stars for writing quality. It's expensive per issue but you'll get your money's worth out of the reading time. Ad's but far fewer than those other pulp journals.

This roughly bimonthly magazine contains a wide range of generally well written fishing and hunting stories, plus some photo-journals of hunting and fishing trips to exotic locales. There are occassional articles about making guns, gunsmithing, etc. I'd pretty much agree with G. Powell's short review, the quality of the writing here is better than `Field and Stream' or similar publications, definitely worth the money. Probably about the same as `Sporting Classics', but without so many ads. I got started reading this magazine after devouring Robert Ruark, Peter Capstick, and Gordon MacQuarrie. This magazine (and perhaps `Sporting Classics') is about the only thing that is comparable to that style of writing these days. One thing I really like about GSJ is that there is a wide range of hunting and fishing stories from simple tales about deer camp or bass fishing in the local lake (which virtually everyone can associate with to some degree), to exotic and dangerous safaris in Africa, waterfowl hunts in Argentina, and fly fishing in Mongolia. There are stories that I can relate to, and stories that make me dream about (probably unattainable at least by me) hunting and fishing adventures. An evening with this magazine will get me primed for the upcoming season no matter if it is turkeys, trout, or ducks.

Teen Vogue (2-year automatic renewal)

Teen VogueI agree that this magazine boasts designer clothing with extremely high prices that most people cannot afford, but may people be aware that this magazine is called "Teen Vogue" and obviously will follow in it's big sister's footsteps.

"Vogue" does not feature clothes from Walmart, and so "Teen Vogue" will not either.

This magazine does not necessarily cater to only rich people. who says that a person should only buy a magazine when she is going to get the exact clothes featured in it? I am definitely no millionaire. I'm 16 years old and still in High school, but I enjoy this magazine immensely.Of course I dont slip out to Marc Jacobs when i'm done reading and get myself the shirt on page 79, but I do look at the styles so i can understand the new trends and just inspire myself some. magazines dont always have to be realistic. fashion is about pursuing beauty and covetting beauty, and if all magazines only featured "affordable clothes' from Walmart and Old Navy, well.. I really wouldnt know what that would be like.

"Teen Vogue" is a pure fashion magazine. it isnt an all-round magazine for young girls. it's only fashion. and it does a great job at what it strives for. the fashion is great and the taste is great, the shoots are amazing. a former reviewer reccomended "Seventeen" and I want to note that "Seventeen" is a different type of magazine entirely. Seventeen is extremely mainstream bubblegum and is not very fashion orientated. personally i do not like that magazine but i'm not going to condemn it here.

"Teen Vogue" is classy, stylish, and lives up to it's name. you dont have to be a rich kid to read this magazine. but it's the only teen magazine out there which is dedicated souly to high fashion and yes, features the best fashion. people who are not interested in fashion will probably hate this magazine, and that is probably why it has recieved so much criticism. I, on the other hand, love this magazine. the only reason i didnt give it five stars is because the reviews above deemed the stuff in it affordable for young girls and that does strike me as ridiculous.

otherwise, look to this magazine for some fantastic fashion inspiration.

My daughter likes this magazine. However, I was less then pleased when I received an email AFTER paying for the order stating that this magazine is not sent our regularly and that they could not guarantee how often, or not, we would receive it. I think I should have been notified of this PRIOR to ordering the subscription.

I subscribed to this for my niece's birthday, but only AFTER purchase, did I find out that the publication prints on an "unscheduled" basis. Why don't they show this info up front? And how many issues does it work out to be?

The price was cheap, but I hope the purchase was worthwhile, since it's a gift.

Read Best Reviews of Teen Vogue (2-year automatic renewal) Here

I ordered this magazine from amazon half a year ago and my subscription started this January. Since then, I have been constantly disappointed by the quality of the articles that TeenVogue contains. Every time the magazine features a celebrity and writes about them, they always say "She may live a glamorous lifestyle, but she's just like you." This concept is recurring in every issue and is absolutely boring to read about. Their articles are also immensely shallow and repetitive and reading them reminds me a bit of reading my own writing. They may be trying to appeal more to the teen audience, but it is definitely a turn off for me. The number of appearances of the unnecessary form of "like" is cringe-worthy. The articles written are also very cheesy and cliche, and never provide me with any information that I did not already know.

Also, I don't like how small the magazine is, but this cancels out with the cheap price.

However, I give this magazine two stars for the plastic bag it comes in. The magazine comes to my house clean and protected. Also, it has some pretty pictures. I'll probably use the magazines to cut up and make collages since none of them have any better use anyway.

If you are a fifteen year old like me and are thinking about getting a fashion magazine, I believe that it's better to get ELLE and skip over the risqué parts than to get TeenVogue.

At first I was very excited on the deal I got on this magazine... but after a couple months it seemed like half of the magazine was filled with ads, not to mention that most of the articles weren't very interesting. They also failed to send me my 'free subscription gift' which was a large tote. After calling in for a request they still didn't send me a gift. But it seemed to become more dissapointing as they year went on now it seemed that every 2 pages of the book there was at least one ad. I would DEFINITLY NOT recomend this book to anybody! :(

Gastronomica

GastronomicaI am a professional cook who has an expansive collection of cookbooks and food magazine subscriptions, and Gastronomica, without a doubt, is in a class by itself. It's a magazine that relishes all aspects of food culture, from indepth explorations of particular cuisines to quirky analyses of fun foods. Topics as diverse as coca-cola, Vietnamese pho, the parrot eaters, egg creams, irradiated foods, tea drinking, and the all-American butter cake are just a few of the always interesting, usually provocative, and oftentimes entertaining articles you'll read.

This offbeat, classy magazine is for the thinking food lover. What a treat!

The "New Yorker" for food is often how I describe this magazine to colleagues and friends. The articles are well written, though occasionally idiosyncratic. It is one of two magazines I subscribe to (the other being the New Yorker.) If the alleys and byways of food are as interesting to you as the grand boulevards, then this magazine will appeal to you. It is not Gourmet or Martha Stewart (not that I have a problem with either of those titles, this magazine is just different), but if you enjoy food writing about varied topics from a slightly academic point of view this magazine would be a good choice.

Buy Gastronomica Now

Gastronomica is a thoughtful, inspirational magazine, filled

with insightful commentary on all aspects of food. The well-researched articles reflect the individual passion of its contributors; it is for the "thinking cook" who values substance over fluff.

This is one of the most beautiful magazines produced in America

today. The paper and print quality are such that holding it in

one's hands is almost an erotic experience.

The articles are sometimes witty, occasionally deep and often

quirky and the illustrations are thoughtful and the covers frameable.

This is an ideal magazine for the food lover who is as fond of

a good read as a good meal.

the forthcoming novel bang BANG from Kunati Books.ISBN 9781601640005

Ifr Refresher

Ifr RefresherIFR Refresher, one of several Belvoir aviation publications, offers a more serious treatment of IFR flying than its sibling publication, IFR. Each issue has an article addressing technique, a very difficult quiz and an accident review. The accident reviews are of the caliber of those appearing in NTSB Reporter and are spooky because they invariably involve a cascading set of failures in technique, planning and decision-making.

It's a good supplement an intense pilot will use to maintain his or her IFR awareness.

Without a doubt it's the best pilot reading I do every month, cover to cover. Many articles are challenging enough in technical content to merit reading it twice. More constructive than NTSB Reporter. Much less expensive than an hour of flight. Any single article could save your life. Buy the back issues. Buy a 3 ring binder. Buy a gift subscription.

Buy Ifr Refresher Now

The Mar & Apr 2010 issues have been a real disappointment both in length (only 16 pages) and content. I expected more quality content with useful practical information based on editor Rick Durden's columns on . Basically, I wouldn't recommend this publication to anyone with much instrument experience. I was hoping that it would be a useful source of "enrichment" material to use in my instrument ground schools, but alas, there has been little really useful for that either. Use the $59 to buy a copy of the FAA Instrument Procedures Handbook (FAA-H-8261-1 and ISBN 9781560275510) and a copy of Peter Dogan's Instrument Flight Training Manual (ISBN 0916413268)

More (1-year auto-renewal)

More The average woman's mag is either aimed at the 18-34 age group (Glamour, Allure) or it's for the soccer moms (Woman's Day consistently figures in the top five of all magazines for women. And for good reason.) But what if you don't care to make bunny-shaped coconut cakes for Easter or what if you are WAY beyond caring about bikinis or contraceptives? MORE is aimed at the mature babe who still cares to dress fashionably and who wants to read about women of a similar age.

Of course, the invevitable celebrity graces the cover (this IS what people want to read, apparently, according to whatever marketing tools magazine editors use.) And the articles are not earth-shaking or in depth in any way. MORE replaces several other magazines gone belly-up, as advertisers apparently don't want dollars from gals over 35, possibly because they spend their dough with great discernment; $250 for a trendy corset-shaped handbag? Hmm, maybe NOT. Since "Lear's", "Mirabella" and "Mode" all bit the dust in the last decade or so, this is what there is for fashion and forty or fifty year old female. Hey, it beats "Reader's Digest" for fashion advice, is all I can say.

When I was a teen, I read 16 and SEVENTEEN magazines. In my 20s, I read Glamour; Mademoiselle was my magazine of choice in my early 30s and Cosmopolitan did it for me as I approached late 30s. Once I got to my mid-40s, none of the aforementioned magazines seemed to speak to me anymore. At 49, I'm way past the "do's and don'ts" of fashion and "how to drive your man wild" kinds of articles. :-) I wanted to know how other women were dealing with middle age and everything that comes with it --weight gain, crows feet, menopause -as well as the usual beauty stuff! There are articles in this magazine dealing with taking care of aging parents, grown-up kids who won't leave the nest, making your way in the corporate world, and lots of other things that are relevant to women my age and their lifestyles. Also, I love the cover models! I'm never going to be as thin or well put together as Susan Sarandon, Cybill Shepherd or Glenn Close, but it's nice to see so many women MY age on the cover of a magazine I love!

Okay...so here we are...an elite generation of women who have watched the world change for the last 35 years or so and we were a big part of it. We are women of a certain age(ahem), that are old enough to remember the Kennedy Assassination, Woodstock,our boyfriends going off to Viet Nam, the Swinging Seventies and raised a whole new generation...and yes...are proud of it. So now we are what may be considered grown up(I'm still not sure about that part)...what's next? What MORE is there out there?!....Do we want to sit at home raising another generation and be the snack monitor for the grandkids soccer team?...Heck no! Okay occassionaly but.. We Want MORE than that!

MORE magazine bills itself as being 'Smart Talk For Smart Women'...and it is! This magazine is chock full of motivating stories and articles of inspiring women(some famous, some not so famous) making the most of their lives.Women who like us, who have "been there and done that" are now finding new and fulfilling directions in their lives. From starting your own business to starting a new relationship, you'll find it all here. There are fabulous features on health, beauty tips, fashion advice for the 40 and up gal,and some great financial advice as well.

Finally a magazine geared toward more than good housekeeping(if you are like me, and haven't gotten that part down by now...fahgetaboutit!)It's a pretty good size periodical, and not because it is filled covered to cover with gorgeous models. What you'll find instead, are true role models!

So between the ads for the newest and best wrinkle cream(Yeah Sure), to the best fiber supplement, you will find many intellegent, informative and motivational reads! The subscription price offered here is a great value.(I always think it is best to get an issue from the newstand to check out first).

Now available a 2 year subscription a really good deal:More Magazine (2-year)

For yourself or a gift....you go girl!...and enjoy...Laurie

Of the numerous magazines I subscribe to, this is one of the most useful for women over 40. No bimbo articles, no articles about 10 ways to contort oneself---well, you get the idea. What it DOES have is informative and intelligent articles such as the recent one about common haircolor mistakes made by mature women, complete with before-and-after pictures. There are some fun articles, and some articles like another recent one about the women in President Bush's inner circle of advisors. (Very reassuring, that one.) The newstands either don't get many copies, or they sell quickly, so you may not have seen it, but it's worth a look!

Want More (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

Who doesn't want to look her best???? Yes this magazine does use space to talk about clothes and looking good. One of my favorite fashion pages is where they have three different readers/models wear an outfit and comment on it. All the women are over 40 and the comments aren't always flattering it seems real. There also is some serious commentary and subjects broached that overall appeals to women over 40 and other intelligent people. I don't believe that if you are a woman over 40 you will regret subscribing to this publication. Just flip through an issue at the newstand and you will be convinced.

Green Lantern

Green LanternThis past decade has been a good one for Green Lantern, thanks in no small part to the stellar writing of Geoff Johns and his excellent art teams. The return of Hal Jordan and the Corps, the rise of the New Guardians and the menace of the Blackest Night, and now the wrath of the First Lantern. This run has made GL one of DC's most popular characters of the decade, enough so to inspire a motion picture [sorry, America] and an excellent animated series.

First of all I dont know how long that other writer has been reading Comics but I've been a fan going on 40 yrs. This edition of the Green Lantern(and I've seen them all) is a thrilling masterpiece filled with terrific artwork&coloring capped off with a great storyline. As far as that other writers comments on Superman..Always Remember..He(Superman) was the first..and he'll always be the King dude!,any TRUE Comicon ( a personally penned term for a true "Connoisseur" of comics not simply a "Johnny come lately") would know this fact! As a collector of Comics for decades(and like fine wine I'm getting tastier&better as time strolls on..ironic,same as my comic collection.) I can highly reccommend this edition.

Buy Green Lantern Now

First, GL was chosen to be Earth's savior rather than have this role forced on him by his parents. He earned it, and, therefore, deserves to win. Second, GL has no super-powers of his own but must rely on his imagination and creativity to "will" solutions to the challenges he faces. How much imagination does it take to stop a bullet by standing in front of it? I'll tell you how much. It's a lot less than it takes to "will" a giant green flyswatter and command it to smack the bullet to the ground. So GL is clearly smarter than Superman, and would win. Third, GL is associated with the color green, but Superman with the color red, for example, his cape. Green means go. Red means stop. Green is clearly superior to red. For instance, blood is red. But when it stops the result is death. Obviously, not a good thing. Finally, Superman has a great many powers, but what good are they? GL can create a giant green vacuum cleaner floating over New York City that will suck up and away all the tenured school teachers who can't even spell potatoe. It would take years for Superman to set them on fire one at a time with his heat vision, and then I'm sure the AFT would file a grievance against Superman and make him stop before he finished. I know, I've tried. Now, you be the judge. Who would you rather have protecting your planet? And be honest. This is life or death.
