International Record Review

International Record ReviewI would endorse everything that is said by below by J Scott Morrison. "International Record Review", while obviously based on "Gramophone" magazine (it shares the general format and some of the same reviewers), has addressed most of "Gramophone"'s egregious faults.

1. There is far more space devoted to actual reviews of classical recordings (the primary purpose of both magazines), and far more CDs actually get reviewed.

2. Reviewers are not exclusively U.K.-based

3. The choice of recordings to review sems less constrained by advertising considerations.

4. More reviews of reissues of historical recordings.

5. No section on audio equipment (Gramophone's paltry and inadequate audio equipment reviews are obviously inserted to get advertising dollars from audio manufacturers) -a subject which demands and deserves its own periodical.

All in all, this is probably your best bet if you want to subscribe to a classical music magazine

This glossy British classical music magazine that focuses primarily on recordings was founded in 2000 by, I believe, some disgruntled former 'Gramophone' writers. The staff of writers include such well-known reviewers as Martin Anderson, Hugh Canning, Jed Distler, Mortimer H. Frank, Harris Goldsmith, Julian Haylock, Simon Heighes, Robert Layton, Donald Manildi, Andrew Porter, Charles Timbrell, Raymond S. Tuttle, John Warrack and others. As you can see, the writers primarily come from England but there are far more American reviewers than write for 'Gramophone,' giving it a bit more trans-Atlantic balance than the older magazine. It is, as they say, 'for those who know their music but who are prepared to be further enlightened, appreciate good sound-reproduction, without the need for gimmicks and who want up-to-date, authoritative comment on the vast number of new and historical classical recordings being released worldwide.' There are monthly review sections for orchestral, chamber, instrumental, choral, vocal and opera CDs as well as for DVDs and books. Issues also contain

A frank, topical and pertinent editorial

An extensive and detailed Index to the reviews

Letters to the Editor

A list of new international releases

News pages and obituaries

Special extensive features on major repertoire (with exhaustive comparisons of extant recordings)

A Directory of record company websites

There are no sections dealing with sound reproduction or new electronic gadgets. One plus is that there is a good deal of attention paid to historical recordings. For instance, in a recent issue there was an extensive section about historical opera re-issues.

The writing is generally both graceful and informed. It is rare that I don't learn a good deal from an issue, and I tend to read every word of every article. The only drawback for American subscribers (and the reason I've awarded only 4 stars) is that, with the currently disadvantageous exchange rate for the US dollar against the British pound, it is a bit expensive. I, however, would not like to be without it.

I hope this description helps prospective subscribers decide whether this is their cup of tea.

Die Zeit - Hamburg

Die Zeit - HamburgOne of the biggest names in the German newspaper market, Die Zeit is devoted to its weekly publication rhythm in structure and content. It is not last-minute but relevant, in-depth, and filled with background.

It is not an easy newspaper to read by any means, you do need high-level German in areas of politics, cultural affairs, economics, etc... to enjoy its full power.

It is the central organ for the German academia, universities, and intellectual circles, an important source that is usually right on the money and has an autonomous voice in political affairs and economics (though for political affairs I personally prefer the slightly more Liberal Frankfurter Rundschau or the NZZ, for economics the FAZ).

If your German is good enough and you are interested, I definitely recommend Die Zeit...though remember: you need Zeit to read Die Zeit!

P.S. Oh yeah, and it is THE source for certain job ads in Germany, that is, for the academic job search, high-level engineering, research, labs, and some business. If you are looking for a job in Germany, find out which newspaper to read, the market is fairly precisely segmented!

There is nothing in the English-speaking world that compares to Die Zeit. If you've seen recent issues of Time or Newsweek, it's sort of what they're aiming at -but Die Zeit takes hours to read, while the former publications can be read in under an hour. Die Zeit is filled with cultural information, news analysis, economics, new opportunies, business, and has always been known for its high editorial standards and excellent writing.

This is an ourstanding weekly newspaper in German language. marvelously llustrated. very savvy news and opinion. highly recommended

Playboy (1-year auto-renewal)

PlayboyThe magazine itself isn't bad, nothing ground breaking but can offer an interesting read at times. When I receive a product like this I expect the packaging to be subtle without PLAYBOY labeled everywhere. And for the most part it is. That was until about 7 months into my subscription when I started to receive renewal notices.

The first renewal request I received was titled "URGENT 3rd notice" with Playboy clearly written on it. Every couple weeks I receive a new one, including my most recent that came in a bright yellow envelope with "SUSPENSION ADVISORY" across the entire front of it and Playboy written up in the corner. I understand the intent is to attract attention to it, but I would at least hope they would carry the same considerations in packaging their magazine to the renewal requests.

I canceled with 4 months left on my subscription just to stop the renewal request spam. I won't be subscribing again.

The magazine offers interesting articles more often than many people imagine. Especially when it comes to science of sexuality, their choices of writers are good and fun.

On the other hand, the photos of young naked girls are repetitive and boring, how many blond girls with artificial lips and boobs can you enjoy looking at? They look all the same, and worst, so digitally "improved" they don't look human most of the time. Too much airbrush work made them look like a clone game character.

To me, the most interesting section in the magazine is the Q & A from the readers, there are so many questions about human behaviors, normal or not. I learned so much about ourselves and what's really going on in the modern America. The answers are most often very specific and helpful, wise and tongue-in cheek fun.

Buy Playboy (1-year auto-renewal) Now

I've been a reader/subscriber for over 30 years, and still find the magazine exciting, interesting, and very enjoyable/pleasurable. Eventually just about anything of general interest will be covered, the stories and articles are great, and the women are as beautiful as ever. Hef may be getting older but his staff keeps everything cooking at a high temperature. The interview section is one my favorites, and of course, the question and advice sections. Another favorite is the "Sex and Cinema" photo spreads. I'm still waiting for my invitation to the mansion. I'm sure my wife and I would have a wonderful,memorable time.

The articles are well written and interesting most of the time. This is a pretty good magazine that happens to have beautiful (if only through the magic of airbrushing) nude woman on some of the pages. It's also cheaper then most other entertainment magazines. Win-win. Buy it.

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

Playboy has always been my favorite magazine. From trends to jokes, interviews to beautiful women, this magazine has it all. I only wish they would go back to 12 issues in a year rather than have occasional double issues as well as stop featuring heavily tattooed women in seemingly every issue. Regardless, I will continue to subscribe.

Mental Floss

Mental FlossIn an age of books "for dummies" and "complete idiots," Mental Floss is a magazine that makes you "feel smart again." Let's face it, some of those "dummies" books are pretty good, but you wouldn't display them in your home or read them on the train. By contrast, I openly read Mental Floss in public and place the latest issue on my coffee table.

The magazine combines a cheeky sense of humor with a wealth of information. I loved the recent "Y Files issue." "Why is yawning contagious?" "Why do people yell `Geronimo' before jumping?" "Why does the United States print $2 bills?" Mental Floss delivers the answers. Trivial pursuit may leave you wondering "why" about an answer, but Mental Floss never does.

The current "swimsuit issue" is a blast. It's not exactly titillating, but it is stimulating. The sight of Einstein and Eleanor Roosevelt in swimwear is enough to turn your attention to the articles.

There's no magazine I'd recommend more highly.

I have subscribed to "Mental Floss" from the very beginning, and now look forward to each new issue anxiously. Founded just a couple of years ago by two former college roommates who wanted a fun, hip, urbane magazine to make them smarter with style, "Mental Floss" has become a huge success, and is one of the few new magazines that debut each year that is actually prospering.

Each issue is loaded with information on interesting topics, from how common (or very uncommon) things work, to odd and unknown histories and biographies that you will not find anywhere else (and if you did, certainly not in as condensed and succinct a form as you will find here.) Without exception, the writers are literate, knowledgeable, and good humored.

The things that you don't know will amaze you after reading this magazine. Try "Mental Floss", and I am willing to bet that you will be hooked. I know I am.

Buy Mental Floss Now

There are magazines you read for specific how-to texts, like how to fix your kitchen sink. There are magazines you read to stay up to date with the latest news in the world, your field, or a given region. Then there are magazines like Mental_Floss, which is more like a "News of the Weird" magazine version release. These aren't brain puzzles to improve your memory a la Brain Age. They aren't research pieces that will test or challenge your mental ability. Instead, they are quirky factoids.

What is yelling "Geronimo" all about? Just what is a "Vegemite Sandwich"? There are all sorts of odd things covered here. Sometimes they touch on science, world politics or human relations but often they're related to pop culture, the things you hear every day and never really thought about.

It's intriguing that how you react to this magazine is probably based a lot on what you have read until now. If what you've been reading has been mainstream newspapers aimed at the "lowest common denominator", or the Dummies series of books, you'll be greatly refreshed by this! This magazine doesn't assume you're a dummy with a dead brain. It assumes you want to learn, to grow, to find out the "why" behind the things in your world. It's aimed for people who pop onto Wikipedia when they hear about a new, interesting item on the news ... or people who jump onto IMDB to see what else an actor was in when they watch a movie. It's for people who are intrigued by those connections and backgrounds.

On the other hand, Mental_Floss generally provides a surface read. It's the perfect bathroom magazine but for those who already get mentally challenging magazines, they might be let down by a magazine that is explicitly named Mental_Floss. This doesn't provide in depth or rigorous details on anything. If the academic magazines are at college level, Mental_Floss is more like the fun high school underground newsletter that tackles intriguing issues that might otherwise be ignored. Now, before you start to clamor that most newspapers write at a 5th grade level, that is in fact untrue! Here's a factoid for you :) The New York Times writes at a 12th grade level of vocabulary and comprehension, while most other newspapers fall between 9th and 10th grade. The 5th grade stat came from the 1700s and 1800s.

Still, every magazine has its target audience and its purpose in life. Mental_Floss isn't there to provide in depth education. There are other magazines for that. Instead, it gives you great tidbits on things that many people care about things that are *super* to use at cocktail parties, networking events, dinners out with your boss or employees. Instead of getting into a discussion about religion or politics, and perhaps starting the third world war, you can give info on a topic that will intrigue most people there, and often impress them.

Definitely a magazine that just about every age group will enjoy and that is very "useful"! If I have a real issue with this magazine, it's that it only comes out every other month. It'd be great if they could get this onto a monthly schedule, with more intriguing facts to keep us fresh and full of new information.

Read Best Reviews of Mental Floss Here

Let me start off with I subscribe to at least 15 magazines covering a range of subjects. Mental Floss is the only magazine that I save and leave out for guests. The reason I save it is that is a very quick read that can be read while people have a few moments to spare. The articles are short and don't provide much depth. However it is enjoyable to read something that requires no brain power to process. Mental Floss is a great magazine that you can sit down with and read in one sitting. It even occasionaly brings a smile to your face. I suggest you give it a chance but don't expect to much.

Want Mental Floss Discount?

I just recieved my first copy of mental floss and I havent been able to put it down. In one sitting I found out the meaning behind common nursery rhymes, the origins of conflicts in Rwanda and East Timor, and realized the importance of physicists. Mental Floss is different then Time, Newsweek etc. because it puts information and knowlege out there in a way that wont bore you to tears. I can feel my brain expanding everytime I turn the page and feel much more confident in global news and relive prior events, fads, and trends that I soon would have forgotten (rubix cube?). I really am eager to keep getting new editions. Maybe in a few years, I can finally send for my MENSA exam.

Old Cars Price Guide (1-year)

Old Cars Price GuideThis magazine can drive car collectors nutty. That being said, however, we have to realize that it's all that out there that counts. The Editor/Publisher could add more "rare" factory models (say, 1955 1975), and add more definitive optional equipment listings, but that might use up to much space. I'll keep getting it.

The prior issues had more information on a longer span of year models. Was once the best guide. Now it is not maintained well.

Buy Old Cars Price Guide (1-year) Now

First, the picture is incorrect for the Price Guide. I guess this should have been my first clue. The problem is with the print and Kindle edition bundle. Amazon indicates that you can get both the print and Kindle version for your purchase. Unfortunately, it's only after you make the purchase that you are told the Kindle version is only available for the Kindle Fire. So, I was left holding the bag on this one. It would be nice if Amazon was upfront with their product. I was very disappointed in Amazon.

Bead & Button

Bead & ButtonThis is a wonderful magazine with a variety of projects, from seed bead work to simple stringing. Simple directions help ease the process of creation, and a glossary is available for true beginners. I find a project that grabs me immediately in each issue, and often look through past months for inspiration.

Great magazine, but the one-year subscription (six issues) is much cheaper if purchased directly from the Publisher. Sorry, Amazon, you need to update your pricing on this one!

Buy Bead & Button Now

I have been a subscriber for many years. This is my favorite beading magazine. I do not enjoy stringing, so the easier bead stringing magazines do not appeal to me. However, Bead & Button has such a variety of projects and techniques, that it will appeal to most everyone. As an advanced seed bead technique lover, I find so much inspiration in this magazine. Typically I find 4 7 projects per issue that I MUST try out. They have a reader's gallery where you can send in photos of your work. Excellent directions that are easy to follow, even for the most complicated pieces. Great magazine. Highest recommendation. I save all my copies and return to them frequently.

Bead and Button magazine is a great magazine to get ideas, learn new tips and there is always a new project with detailed instructions. A great help.

Want Bead & Button Discount?

I stopped my subscription to Bead and Button because over the years it seemed to gravitate more and more to beading as a means for personal adornment. Each issue was awash in how to bead necklaces, bracelets, pendants, etc. as opposed to beading for visual art sake. I am very interested in Native beading as well as "bead paintings, " beading on cloth or canvas, and artists such as Mimi Holmes, Joyce Scott, Ken Tisa, etc. While Bead and Button has had some great articles in the past, they seemed to become fewer and fewer over the recent years making a subscription, at least for one not particularly interested in jewelry, not worth the cost.

Diabetic Living (2-year)

Diabetic LivingThis magazine is great. Easy to understand and packed with wonderful information to help people with diabetes. Will definately continue subscription.

I was hoping for some great Diabetic recipes. This magazine is by Better Homes and Gardens. It has a lot of ads and good information regarding diabetes. Like I said I wanted some good up to date recipes and there are very few in the magazine. I received my first issue in about 3 weeks after ordering it which I felt was great. Service was very good, just a little disappointed in the product. I will continue to read them and let you know if it improves.

I ordered the 2 year subscription. When the first issue arrived, I was surprised at the expiration date. It appeared that the subscription would expire a lot sooner than I thought it would. What I didn't realize was the 2 year (24 month) subscription is for 8 (eight) issues. (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). I paid $19.97 for the 2 year subscription ($2.50 per issue which is still a good deal). Just wanted to let you know not to expect the magazine each month. Also, when you want to check up on your subscription, do not try to find it on Amazon. It will be at diabeticliving.com.

EatingWell (1-year auto-renewal)

EatingWellI've got subscriptions to 3 cooking magazines (Eating Well, Bon Apetit, and Everyday Food), and this one is by FAR the most useful. I want healthy food but I also work long hours and can't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. The recipes in Eating Well are tasty, easy to make, and creative. The ingredients can be found at any grocery store and are usually things I have on hand. I look forward to every issue to find out what new recipes we'll be cooking up this month. I highly recommend it!

I spent a lot of time trying to pick a cooking/nutrition magazine to subscribe to, and this is the one. It has tons of great recipes, nice pictures, and interesting articles that don't repeat the same old food/diet information I've read a hundred times. But probably the thing that sets this magazine apart the most is that compared to every other magazine I've looked at, there are BARELY ANY ADVERTISEMENTS. Nothing makes me feel more ripped off than to find that my magazine is about 40% full page ads. I'm so glad I found one that's not like that.

Buy EatingWell (1-year auto-renewal) Now

This magazine is like Prevention, there are articles on eating better, different foods and their nutritional value, and so on. I found them all well done and informative. I especially enjoyed in the last issue a large article on faux foods and the differences between getting a loaf of long shelf life bread, the kind most of us eat, or an artisan loaf of whole wheat and the points as to why we should pick the ones with actual food value over convienence.

Most cooking magazines have none to few articles on various topics. Eating Well truly means that they're telling you about eating well. If you're looking for a magazine with some recipes and more articles that pertain solely to food and their health value then this is one you'll want to check out. I found it a nice change of pace.

As stated in another review. There are very few ads which is amazing and very enjoyable.

They do have the 'recipes that are different' as I like to call it. They had an appetizer of a dried apricot half topped with crumbled blue cheese, pistachios, honey and a little pepper. It sounds interesting and I would probably try it, but I'm pretty sure I won't make it. They did have some I will try out that looked delicious such as another appetizer of sliced beef wrapped around a dab of boursin and thin sliced peppers, sounds excellent.

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

I subscribed to both Cooking Light and Eating Well. The differences are tremendous. While I like Cooking Light, I LOVE Eating Well. The first thing you'll immediately notice is the dearth of advertising in Eating Well compared to Cooking Light. Thus, Eating Well is about a third of the size of Cooking Light. Unlike Cooking Light, which can contain random articles about travel and exercise, Eating Well is strictly about food and nutrition. I love how Eating Well has pictures of all the recipes, while Cooking Light does not. I also like how Eating Well's recipes are simple and easy to follow, using realistic ingredients and straightforward preparation methods. I've made a number of the recipes and almost always enjoyed the results. Eating Well's articles are informative and I especially appreciate its focus on nutrition. In all, a fabulous magazine! I only wish it was published every month instead of every other month!

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

I love this magazine, and am on my third year. The recipes are interesting, healthy and easy to make after a day at work. They don't use fake ingredients, which was my complaint with Cooking Light I'd rather use real yougurt than fake sour cream for instance. And the recipes don't take all day and 24/7 access to a gourmet supermarket like the ones in Gourmet. The nutrition articles are interesting and walk a sensible middle line between the low fat and the low carb camps. Real food for real life.

Brides

BridesEven though I'm in the wedding industry, there are a lot of things about getting married that I didn't know. I have found this magazine great for ideas from the big stuff down to the very smallest detail.

I get Martha Stewart's, Brides, and Bridal Guide magazines. (I'm a magazine addict... and there was a magazine sale on Amazon...) The price for Brides magazine is pretty good, and I like that you get 12 a year. (Martha is only 4 and Bridal Guide is 6.) I can't say that it has really outstanding articles; a majority of the magazine is ads -but I basically look through the ads/pictures to get ideas for what I want and rip them out when I find something I like.

The articles that they do have, I have found pretty helpful or at the very least entertaining. I think that their articles are better than Bridal Guide at least. Martha Stewart I feel is more crafty, but if you sign up to her wedding newsletter... you basically get the magazine in pieces through email for free anyway...

They have the basics advise column, new/fun highlights, seasonal wedding spreads, male editor doing 1 task for his wedding a month, honeymoon planning section, and then usually a main article about one topic a magazine (i.e. picking your dress, choosing an officiant, etc.). I agree with a post I saw where it feels somewhat to be the same kind of stuff every month due to the majority of pages being ads, but I would say a lot of the ads change pictures month-to-month, so I still didn't mind. If you're looking for some really intense/in-depth articles I can't say this is the place to look.... but I don't think any wedding magazine will give you that.

Buy Brides Now

I get it, some people like luxury a lot, and I don't mind paying for quality, but when you start recommending 200.00 per person gifts for each wedding guest you've gone overboard. Unfortunately most of this magazine is ads for overpriced coture dresses that are just plain ugly, and that is my review from more than 6 issues in.

As with all Bridal magazines, this one is FULL of ads which can get a little bit old. But, aside from Martha Stewart Weddings, it seems to have the most variety from edition to edition. Definitely worth the subscription as opposed to Modern Bride.

Glamour - Uk Edition

Glamour - Uk EditionI have been reading British Glamour for two years now. I can't recommend it enough to those who want more fashion and beauty advice and less sickly sweet romantic stuff (i.e., "cute things my boyfriend does" please!). The British version is is more fashionable than its American counterpart. It's trendier, wittier and gets straight to the point. Plus, it's a great size that makes it easy and fun to carry around!

British Glamour is great, so is British Vogue. However I find it funny how amazon's subscription rate to glamour is more expensive than just buying it off the newsstand (it's only $4.99/issue on the newstand). Other international magazine subscriptions such as British Vogue and French Vogue, even Nylon from the US is more expensive if you order it off amazon than on the site. Aren't we supposed to be getting better deals here?

Buy Glamour - Uk Edition Now

From the perfect sizing of this magazine (you can easily carry it with you) to the no nonsense articles, this magazine has been a favourite of mine for years! This magazine is filled with substance, unlike it's American counterpart. British society has so many different (read: accepting) views on things from culture, to nudity, to sensuality and even with relating to others.

I find this at my local bookstore, but there would be no better gift to yourself than a subscription to this so it's delivered to your doorstep each month. Every page of this little morsel is well worth the extra spent on it.

Practical Homeschooling

Practical HomeschoolingBack 15 years ago when I started homeschooling our oldest daughter, Mary Pride was my best mentor, thanks to her Practical Homeschooling magazine and the curriculum reviews in her Big Book series. Now with two home school graduates and five kids still plugging away at it, I still look to her for help as I face the new challenges that each unique child presents.

Practical Homeschooling represents without a doubt the very cutting-edge of the home school movement. No matter where you are in your home school journey, this magazine will help, whether you're a concerned relative who's wondering about socialization, or a scared newbie wondering where to begin, or a harried mom ready to give up, or a veteran hitting a new stage. Need help getting started? It's there. Finding a curriculum review? She's got it. High school issues? Yup. College testing? Uh, huh. Managing teaching with a baby at the breast & a toddler on your hip? She's been there, done that!

Something that's unique about this magazine, compared to others, is that it isn't afraid to use humor and or tackle controversial topics. Nor does it espouse a single educational philosophy. While you won't find lesson plans here, you will find a wide range of ideas and approaches. My experience is that, while I think I know the "right way" to teach, sometimes I encounter another viewpoint that entices me to look in a different direction. While I may not always find the guest columnist's views compatable with my own home school, it helps broaden my horizons & understand the other home schoolers in my circle who may not be "like" me.

Well worth the reasonable subscription rate!!!

I just read all of the currently posted reviews and will just say dittos to all! I met PHS at my daughter's home when she was a beginning home schooling mom about 1990 or so. I have been subscribing ever since just to keep informed and because I thoroughly enjoy its appearance in the mail and then reading most of every issue. It also just gives me a plain old good, warm, feeling about what is going on with the families and young people who are coming up to be the next adult generation.

I taught in a pretty good public school system for 25 years and our 5 children attended Lutheran elementary and high schools, but if I could do it over I would love the joy and privilege of teaching them myself with PHS to help and encourage along the way.

Buy Practical Homeschooling Now

PHS magazine has helped us tremendously over the 15 yrs. we've been homeschooling so far. There were no personal computers and world wide web when we first started our hsing adventure... just our monthly connection with the hsing world via this magazine. I would wait for its timely arrival each month, devouring every page within the first 24 hrs. after it arrived. Still, to this day, I rely on PHS's curriculum and product reviews. They have NEVER steered us wrong in all these years. The yearly vote of "favorites" from PHS subscribers is invaluable too, in decision making re: purchases of curriculum. A long-time columnist of PHS helped us to decide which pkg. curriculum to use for our high schoolers and we're on our second hs high school graduate with that same company. Our firstborn just graduated from a prestigious private college here in the U.S. with a 3.97 GPA, 4 yrs. on the college's dean's list, 2 yrs. on the National Dean's List, and the 2005 Wall Street Journal Award for Excellence in Business. None of this would have happened had it not been for homeschooling our children through high school... and we could have never done that without the immeasurable help of Practical Homeschooling magazine.
