McCall's Quilting (1-year auto-renewal)

Of all the quilt and craft magazines I get, this is my favorite. It is just the right blend of traditional quilting and modern stuff. I like the amount and quality of instructions. I like the variety of projects. I have made a number of projects from this magazine and wouldn't be without a subscription.

This quilting magazine is filled with wonderful ideas. The colors choices are great and you have a choice of easy to hard quilts. I love the magazine.

Cottage Life

We LOVE this magazine, it is practical, humorous, full of useful info, and scaled to normal living, not decorator hype. Published in Canada, it seems to have a tone of simplicity and common sense. It is geared to the camp or cottage owner and great for off-season reading, when you want to stay psyched about the camp until you can get back there. One great article walked us through the entire "opening up" procedure, in exhaustive but hilarious detail.

This magazine if great for Cabin/Cottage living and life on the water. My husband and I get lots of useful information out of this magazine and save back issues for years. However,we cannot understand why the subscription rate is so high. If the subscription rate were 1/2 as much we'd probably subsribe for many years, but have a hard time with the approximately $7 per issue (U.S. customers). It seems like a highway robbery. Granted it's by far the best cabin/cottage magazine out there, as opposed to Coastal Living or others that seem geared to the Million dollar vacation homes, whereas this one seems to touch all home styles and true seasonal cottages/cabins, etc. We wish there was something so good on the U.S. side of the border.

Shonen Jump

Update: Shonen Jump is ending next year, and unless you want to subscribe to the online release of Shonen Jump Alpha, don't subscribe to this.

Update: Just realized my June issue is a June/July issue....great. I guess my beloved magazine is slowly dying. :(

I remember seeing the first issue of Shonen Jump on newstands in 2003 and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I was around 12 or 13 then, and I still love it as a 21-year old. It has always been a great value considering that the average volume of manga is around ten dollars or more.Also, I used to be a yugioh fan, and Shonen Jump provided me with a countless amount of awesome free promo cards.

Having read every issue, I've seen Shonen Jump go through every phase. While I understand that the economy may cause Viz to have to make certain changes, they are still negative changes and I'll list them here:

First off, Shonen Jump had the magazine, and then they began publishing the manga that ran in their magazine in their Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line. Well, that is fine. The problem is, they began to remove series from their magazine in mid-story. It would say, Hikaru No Go is "graduating" to thier Shonen Jump Graphic Novel line, and lucky you, you can now read it faster! Hooray!!! I got to read it for free, now I have to go to the effort of hunting it down, then paying around a hundred dollars or so for the rest of the series.I get that certain series are more popular than other series, but it has happened many times, and the only series that have finished are Sandland(very short series) and Yu Yu Hakusho.Recently they were really pushing a manga called Ultimo, which is co-made by Stan Lee. They treated it as their flagship exclusive manga, but once again removed.

That move definitely suprised even me after all the hype. Dragonball Z, Shaman King, Hikaru No Go,Gin Tama,Yugioh GX, Tegami Bachi, and Ultimo, are all victims of "graduation" I can think of off the top of my head.They also do speed-ups where they skip chunks of story to catch up with manga in Japan. Makes sense, so not that big of a deal there.Secondly,the magazine seems to have gotten a little thinner in the past year. Those are my only gripes with the actual magazine itself.

My main gripe with Shonen Jump is that recently they are clearly now trying to give a priority to newstand buyers over subscribers which is an unforgivable, greedy, and disgusting act. Shonen Jump has always advertised the subscription as "get it before newstands". As a subscriber, I always have. VERY early. That is until the most recent year. Now, while I'm waiting, I go to Wal-mart, FYE,and Waldenbooks, and have to stare at a brand new issue, that I as a subscriber have to wait for.

The customer service used to be good, but has definitely suffered. If I ever miss an issue, I never have a problem. What I dislike now is that the c.s. operator now tries to give the runaround by giving you corporate answers, and doesn't want to listen to your problem.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Shonen Jump. I just hate to see something I love degrade in quality little by little. Please don't forget your core subscribers Shonen Jump.

In the past, I have gotten this mag for my son and purchased through the publisher directly. it was great.

I bought it this year (DEC 1) through amazon and it is now almost March and still have not recieved an issue. If you want to buy this do it directly, NOT through here. Unless of course you want to wait half a year for the subscription to start...

Here is the info they provided me on the shipping of the mag.

"If you want a subscription to be a Christmas present, you will need to place your order at the beginning of October or first week of November to ensure delivery by January 1st. The reason is that most publishers do not print a magazine in December or January. They actually print these issues in advance of the holiday season. Any orders made in late November, December or January are processed for the first available issue of the next year. In this particular case, that issue was the April'10 issue. This issue was created in January and February, printed in late February and then shipped. It ships out from the printer's office to a distributor, it is then labeled and shipped to customers. So as you can see, the start of a subscription is dependent on the publisher's print schedule, distribution/labeling process, and availability of issues.

Thank you, Vulcan Service/Magazine Express"

they do not have the speedy service that amazon usually offers...

I ordered this magazine back in March 2011, now it's July, 2011 and I still have not received my first issue. Email this problem to publisher in June, but no reply at all. Very bad publisher, Amazon should remove this publisher immediately. Do not subscribe this magazine at Amazon, turn to elsewhere or buy at the newstand.

I bought this subscription as a Christmas gift for my child as was supposed to receive the first issue in February but didn't. It's now past the first week in March. I reported the problem twice, sent two emails to Magazine Express directly and received absolutely no response. DO NOT BUY THIS!!! The WORST customer service ever!! I have canceled this subscription and will never purchase another subscription on Amazon ever again!!

Leonardo

If you are not familiar with this journal and its purposes, I would recommend reading Art and Electronic Media (Themes & Movements) first. I first discovered the journal when I read this book. It will give you an excellent idea of what you can expect. A one-year subscription includes six issues. Five cover the visual arts. The sixth issue is a copy of the annual journal, Leonardo Music Journal, which, as you can see, can also be subscribed to on its own. LMJ includes a CD with over an hour's worth of examples of the types of musics discussed in the journal articles.

This journal does not lend itself to passive enjoyment as the articles are of professional grade. I have a BA in studio art and was able to follow most of what I read, but not all of it due to the technical subject matter. More accessible magazines might be Scientific American or Popular Science (1-year), depending on what you are looking for. Of course, only Leonardo specializes in art, music, science, and technology, the other magazines mentioned being much more general. If you are working with experiments similar to those covered in the journal, and certainly if you would consider the artists and musicians peers, this is the journal for you!

As you would imagine, the journal covers electronic arts, computer arts, fractals, nanotechnology, and the like. But it also covers issues of biology and neuroscience. Further, some art relates to land art and environmentalism. Other topics include communication, communication systems, and human perception. Finally, there are also some issues of textiles and fashion covered. The music issue covers contemporary composers and their experiments. This includes electronic instruments that they may build themselves with photos of the finished products as well as detailed schematics. As mentioned earlier, there is a CD included of music and experiments done by the composers on the machines covered in the journal.

There are numerous calls for papers throughout the journal. This is where it can be interactive and encourage networking with like-minded artists and musicians. As a matter of fact, I would say that this is its purpose. This journal is *not* infotainment! Especially with the music issue, if you are not working on the types of projects discussed, much of it can go over your head. But if this is your scene, this journal is an excellent resource. Beyond the main articles, there are also book reviews and information about ongoing projects and what academic institutions are sponsoring them.

This journal could also be helpful to historians, philosophers, or other professionals who are interested in the topics covered. If you can handle the high level of technical discussion, this journal can be a great entryway to a new world or can keep you up on the topics of your interest. Still, primarily, it is a journal of newness and capturing said newness as it unfolds. So, a pre-existing sophistication is all but required to continue to understand the diverse topics covered. In some cases, additional reading may be necessary. Of course, due to the diversity of the material covered, there is likely to be an occasional article that is simply inaccessible due to its esoteric nature. But, still, for the right persons, almost all of the material is perfectly accessible and thoroughly enjoyable!
