Good Old Boat

Good Old BoatThe founders picked their tagline well. This magazine truly is for those of us who own, upgrade and maintain boats. Loads of information and tips to help you with chores you have to deal with, and ideas on how to add neat features you'd never have thought of until you saw them here. Even the letters to the editors are content-rich. In addition to 'projects' the magazine includes a fair share of seamanship and techniques articles, and instruction on boat design & trade-offs. It is all very informative, useful, readable and relevant. There is a lot of content that applies equally well to power boaters.

This magazine is fairly expensive on a per issue basis when you compare it with the competition, but the quality of the content makes it a BEST VALUE. I currently subscribe to 5 sailing mags, and if I have to cut any Good Old Boat will be the last to go. Unlike all the other magazines, I save all the issues and am in the process of acquiring the back issues on CD for future reference.

Good old boat is the real stuff. If you're interested in maintaining or fixing up an old boat (it's mostly sailboats), or if you're interested in seeing how people do these projects, this is the ONLY magazine written for most of us, who just can't write a check to a boatyard for everything we do. You may enjoy looking at the other magazines for the boat you'll probably never own, but in Good Old Boat you'll see the boats that the majority of us actually have. A lot of classic plastic boats, with some reviews and some design articles.

Edited and written by boaters for boaters, I have gotten Good Old Boat since it first came out, and it's only gotten better over time. Most subscribers read it cover to cover, even if they aren't doing a big project!

I have subscribed to all the magazines over the years, but this is the only one I continue to get.

We have read Good Old Boat magazine for years and find it a wealth of information for DIY boat projects. I enjoy the fact that the editors mix up the topics from diesel and gas engines, electronics and navigational equipment, boat design, anchoring, sewing projects and even recipes. My husband and I enjoy being "hands on" with our boat chores. You provide a great resource for me to glean great ideas to make our vessel a unique and comfortable little yacht. The advertisers you see in Good Old Boat are companies I spend my boat dollars with. Glad they are there to keep us all afloat.

You say that your magazine is the boat magazine for the rest of us. Well, thanks for your informative and easy to understand journal. We look forward to each new copy. We will see ya out there.

Good Old Boat is the only magazine that gives us average sailors what we need and want to know. We're not rich and will never go to some tropical,island unless we're on a cruise boat. Just help us keep our old boat running and fill us in on places we can actually afford to go,to. I've had about every boating magazine and this is the best without filling up with advertising .

Great magazine I was a little concerned about getting the magazine as I had never heard of it nor seen it in a book store before. The articles are first rate and are written in a manor for both beginners and old salts. I would highly recommend this magazine.

Audioxpress

AudioxpressUnlike most other audio magazines, Audioxpress focuses more on do-it-yourself projects rather than comercial product reviews. This is great for enthusiasts or hobbyists who want to build their own components and test out ideas. The problem is that a lot of what they talk about is highly technical. I feel like I need an advanced degree in electrical engineering just to understand what they're talking about half the time. This magazine doesn't pander to the novice. Instead it is a hard-core audio geek publication. If you have a good understanding of electrical engineering but don't know where to begin in terms of audio projects, this is the perfect magazine.

I only gave it three stars because while I think they cover technical aspects such as measurements very well, in my opinion they do a lousy job of coming up with really good designs to test out. I recall reading a final test of a subwoofer they built and they were having trouble finding out why there was distortion at the bass port. The last sentence of the article said something like "Although, it could just be because we built a square shaped port with 90 degree angles in it." You think? Doh!

Garden Gate

Garden GateThis magazine contains in-depth plant information & garden design ideas with no ads. Great deal for the price!

Garden Gate Magazine is a publication for gardeners of all stripesa magazine with nice photography, gardening and craft instructions, and general tips to make your garden and general landscaping look better then ever. Amatuers and experienced gardeners alike will find many useful tips and bits of advice on decoration, plant care, and more.

I'm not big on outdoor creations, but I agree that a wellmanicured landscape and a nice garden area is not only easy on the eyes, it can also add a sense of peacefulness by its mere presence. Who doesn't enjoy walking into a beautiful garden area? Even if you have little interest in gardening, horticulture, or anything related, there is much to be said for a nice, green/flowery yard and Garden Gate Magazine is very useful to help you achieve exactly that, with projects and advice for individuals at different skill levels.

I have been reading Garden Gate Magazine for only a short time but I have found much useful information in this publication. The lists and the step by step instructions are among my favorites and I like that the magazine is not geared only toward those with the extragreen thumbs. I am not very skilled in a garden so I need a publication that respects my limited abilities. Garden Gate Magazine has plenty to offer an inexperienced person like myself and at the same time, it has plenty of great ideas that involve more extensive building and planting, making the magazine useful for the more experienced individual. Garden Gate Magazine leaves no person behind, and that is one of the publication's many appeals.

Garden Gate Magazine spells everything out nicely and includes plenty of diagrams so that even an outdoor klutz like myself can figure out what each thing means and what to do. The magazine has a good deal of information, too, and some might find it surprising that a publication with only 50 pages can include so much in so little space. Take a look at the Departments, "In Every Issue", and features listed above. When was the last time you saw a table of contents like that in a fifty-page magazine? There is a reason Garden Gate Magazine is able to pack in so much in so little room and the reason is there are no advertisements!! This is such a refreshing change from other magazines and it makes a big difference when you are trying to follow instructions. There is nothing to distract and the articles are not very long, making this the perfect reading option for those with shorter attention spans.

When a magazine is free from advertisements, it is often high in price and Garden Gate Magazine is no exception. The magazine is published only six times per year and each issue carries a high cover price around five dollars. To make matters worse, you don't get much of a cut in price when you subscribe. Buy all six issues at your local newsstand and it will cost you $30. Subscribe for a year, and it will cost you $24. This is a savings, yes, but it isn't nearly the level of subscription savings so common with other magazines. A twoyear deal makes the savings better (presently 2 years are offered for $38, cutting the cover price by 37 percent), but the cost per issue is still quite high and it is the direct result of publishing adfree.

If you can get past the cost, however, you will find that Garden Gate Magazine is a very good magazine with much to offer everyone who loves a nice landscape. As I said, I'm not even much into this type of work and I don't landscape as a hobby, yet I still like reading this magazine. If a publication can pique the interest of someone who doesn't even have a true interest in the subject, it must be doing something right and Garden Gate Magazine is definitely a periodical that is doing almost everything correctly.

This is a relaxing journal to read -not complex, easy to enjoy, but not a fantastically helpful horticultural experience.

Weekly Telegraph

Weekly TelegraphThe Weekly Telegraph is a treat each week. Whether you are a UK ex-pat, otherwise interested in UK affairs, or want a different perspective on world events the Weekly Telegraph is for you. While it may seem a bit pricey for an annual subscription, the money is well spent especially if you want a real paper in your hands rather than trying to read your news of a screen.

Huskers Illustrated

Huskers IllustratedThe reason I only give this 4 stars, not 5, is because of the slow mailing process. Being Husker fans in NJ, Huskers Illustrated is a great way to stay in the loop. In the beginning of the season the magazines came pretty promptly, then a few weeks in we were always an issue behind. I wish there was a "faster delivery" option. I would pay more so my husband would have the most current issue in a timely manner.GO BIG RED!

Image : Journal of the Arts & Religion

Image : Journal of the Arts & ReligionBased on recommendations from authors Joel Heng Hartse and Jeffrey Overstreet, I visited IMAGE's online headquarters and discovered a faith-oriented publication that actually has both a brain and a soul. American Christianity so often conflates faith and politics, offering hamfisted rhetoric in a religious frame without a compelling portrait of Christ at the center. IMAGE is countercultural in this regard, offering both depth and breadth in its portrayal of a living, breathing faith that is intellectually stimulating, spiritually enlivening, and creatively challenging. I subscribed to the print version of the publication in a heartbeat, and have since contributed my own writing to the "Good Letters" blog on the site (a piece titled "The Cannibal and the Eucharist"). I cannot recommend IMAGE highly enough.

Given the title "Image" I expected much more in the way of visual art. In my first issue, of 120 pages, only 8 pages contain any visual art, and although printed in color, they are mostly small (2"x3"?) and hard to see. The rest of the magazine is filled with a long interview, 3 short stories, 13 poems, 4 essays, and a book review. Overall, the mix of material was disappointing. Too much to read and not enough visual art to experience. I already have too much to read. I was hoping this would be something different.

Sheep Magazine

Sheep MagazineSheep! Magazine is the only periodical really interested in helping real sheep people get a lot more profit.

It's NOT an "industrial" type rag that just re-prints government gobbledygook--it's always and only focused on real sheep growers and how they make good money on their own.

Lots of sheep growers from all over the world write in to Sheep! Magazine sharing their experiences, questions, updates and discoveries.

Sheep! has a world-famous vet that answers questions, a top shearer that does the same, the world's foremost predator guy, an Almanac section that tells about high-paying ethnic and religious sheep consumers--what they need and the dates they're going to buy--plus lots of price tables that help decide what to charge.

After some serious math, I figured we made about 8 times the cost of the subscription back each year, without even working at it.

I don't always agree with its editorial positions, but hey, the magazine makes me money so it's worth it. If you do purebreds, I recommend listing in the magazine, no other (for the $) even came close to their return.

I look forward to the mag. every month. It is a great source of infomation, as well as beautiful photos of the sheep that sheep herders love.

Food Network Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

Food Network MagazineThis magazine is packaged very well for the casual reader. I would term it more as a Food Network Magazine than a recipe digest as some people might expect it to be. Yes, there are some recipes but its more about cooking tools (pretty expensive ones at that), fancy gear, insight into Food Network chefs, book promotions and then a few recipes.

Don't take me wrong, I like it but it is definitely not for the recipes it packs.

And for the rare vegetarian chef/cooking enthusiast out there, not your kind of book.

I bought this subscription a couple of weeks ago as a Christmas gift for my Mom and she already received it! And, it's GREAT! She LOVES it. The magazine has everything in it from easy recipes to interviews with stars and chefs. It has little articles on tips and tricks for your home and even "green" cooking and decorating ideas. I was super surprised how great the format of this magazine was and how visually pleasing it was to read. It was interesting, and not just if you're into cooking or watch the Food Network. I read the entire issue. Love it!

Gotta have this magazine if you are a lover of easy, delicious, unique food. Recipes for weeknights, weekends, get togethers and special occasions. Each recipe has pictures and easy to use instructions. Even for an experienced cook, the recipes are intriguing and unique enough to capture your interest and peak your curiosity enough to "give it a try". For the inexperienced cook, they are so easy to follow that there is no fear to "give it a try." Gotta have for "foodies" like me!!

This is a great magazine with fabulous and numerous recipes each month. I was pleasantly surprised with the content and have already made several of the meals. The first issue that I received had close to 100 different recipes.

I was pleasantly surprised at my first issue of Food Network Magazine. I expected another food magazine with maybe a few new ideas but this really exceeded my expectations. I've gotten two issues so far and really enjoy it. I like cooking magazines with lot of photos of the finished recipe and this doesn't disappoint. The high quality, colorful photos are a great temptation to try the different dishes which so far have turned out very well. I ordered Gourmet (1-year) around the same time and found Food Network a nice complement to it with more casual recipes along with the gourmet stuff.

I especially like the "Copy That!" feature where they take a dish from a well known restaurant and come up with a recipe for it. Also, the "Weeknight & Weekend Dinners" are a great source of inspiration when you can't come up with any ideas on your own. I posted some pictures of the magazine on this site.

I hope this magazine keeps up the same great style and articles because so far it's a winner!

Wyoming Wildlife (1-year auto-renewal)

Wyoming WildlifeI was so pleased with the quality of the writing and the photography. The articles are in-depth, but written for the interested general public, not scientists. From the letters to the editor, they obviously have some long-term devotees.

Wyoming Wildlife contains excellent photography and the articles are interesting and well written. It is a great value at such a low price.
