Communication Arts

from: Communication Arts


While it's the best of it's kind, it's not without it's short-comings: it's academic editorial style and focus on the artifact side of communication arts.

Architectural Record

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Professional and Trade
from: McGraw-Hill Companies

April 05, 2002
I love the magazine... but unfortunately had to cancel my subscription because Synapse Inc. (the company that is shipping arch-record through amazon) is incompetent. The magazine arrived badly damaged (they don't wrap it in plastic when they ship it); to be honest, the injuries to the magazine looked so bad that I suspect it was shipped that way. I was incredibly disappointed and tried to contact Synapse to ask for a new magazine... the only problem is that you can not talk to a live person at Synapse. They have an automated customer service hot line with cleverly-worded questions that make it impossible to get satisfaction. Their website offers no other emails or phone number to contact for help. There is not even an option to cancel your ... Read More:

Reason

from: Reason Magazine

November 23, 2001
I bought a subscription through a fund-raiser. I've been pleased with the variety of subjects, but the articles are very long and dull. I think my favorite piece was a cartoon about the New Hampshire primary. It was in my first issue, and I have not seen anything even remotely creative since. I plan to let my subscription lapse.

World of Interiors

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Professional and Trade
from: Conde Nast Publications Ltd


I stumbled upon this Tome a while back and was very taken with it. Not only are the layouts fabulous but the writers add just a touch of humour to the articles. One of the things I have drawn from the issues is their use of color. I have been able to really track my own preferences from the photos and add them to my storyboard inspiration. Further, the articles are fun and informative, I actually READ them through. WOI manages to be incredibly informational as well as fun. I love finding the "Wink Wink" bits scattered throughout.

I have in-fact, actually contacted some of their featured designers and been very pleased with the results. The magazine may seem unrealistic at first but it is actually very obtainable. Lots of fun and ... Read More:

TAPS Para Magazine

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Professional and Trade
from: R W Bluestroke % Ric Oliveira


Because I find the TV series Ghost Hunters a fascinating television series (I have purchased all of the DVSs), I subscribed to TAPS magazine, expecting the magazine to focus on the scientific investigation of ghosts and the paranormal topics relevant to the specific episodes of the TV series. Instead, I discovered that the magazine focused less on Ghost Hunters and more on a conglomeration of folklore and unrelated paranormal topics that had nothing to do with the program. I stopped the subscription after one year. I'll just stick to the DVDs. If I want information on other paranormal topics, I'll look them up for free on the internet.

International Artist

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Professional and Trade
from: Australian Artist


I have had a subscription for the past year and was extremely disappointed. I was looking for a magazine that would publish interviews of various painters working in various styles who would explain their techniques and experiences as working artists. I was, however, very disappointed. First, this magazine weirdly seems to be one long advertisement. That aside, the painters and pieces published are all based in realism. I have nothing against realism, but I was looking for a collection of diverse approaches. Something of a salon for painters. This is not what this magazine is aiming to achieve. This magazine would only be potentially useful for an inexperienced painter who is interested in painting classical realism.

Coin World

from: Amos Hobby Publishing


Coin World or Numismatic News? I've been getting both for the past year and Coin World is clearly better. The news coverage is deeper, the letters to the editor are more insightful and it has more advertising. If you can afford both, get both, but if you have to choose, buy Coin World.

AJN: American Journal of Nursing

The AJN charged me twice for one subscription and then refused to give me a refund. The customer service reps were rude to deal with and I will never buy this product again.

Nursing Made Incredibly Easy

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Professional and Trade
from: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins


I am almost finished with the LPN program and I found this magazine very useful and helpful. Its another tool to learn more about diseases, nursing, and helps make classroom information more familiar.

The only downside is that it does take an extremly long time for the magazine to come (more than the 6-8wks of other magazines I have ordered) and they do send alot of past issues and then send a renew notice.

It is an attractive magazine, the pictures and illustrations are helpful and interesting to look at. So I would reccomend it to anyone in school :)
