Murder Dog

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Entertainment
from: Murder Dog


This magazine is a must for anyone who listens to underground hip hop. Instead of articles about mainstream rappers (well, they are in the magazine sometimes ;)), you get articles and interviews from underground/independent rappers from all over the country. I especially appreciate the section devoted to the detroit/michigan scene, since we're usually ignored.

Variety Word Find Collection

April 25, 2003
A third party, Synapse Services, handles magazine orders for Amazon and the company is less than competent.

My address changed after placing the order for this magazine. It's been five months and we've not received an issue. I've called Synapse twice and both times the customer service reps seemed confused by my dilemma. The first time I was told the matter would be researched and they'd call me back. They didn't. A week later I called again and was told it would be another five to ten weeks before we received the magazine because of the address change. I said I'd rather have a refund, but was offered only a partial refund. I then asked for the publisher's contact information, to make sure we'd be receiving all six issues, and ... Read More:

Writers Journal

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Entertainment
from: Val Tech Media


The quality of the writing in this publication is highly inconsistent. There are feature articles that are amateurishly written, poorly structured and unfocused. The writers thrust themselves into the articles with embarrassing regularity, rabbitting on about irrelevant and indulgent personal information. Poorly edited, with boring introductory paragraphs and horrible layout and design. This is a lesson on how NOT to write, edit and produce a publication.

Beautiful presentation, wonderful substance! I first received this as a gift, the Holiday Issue '07. Great gift ideas, including those you can mail-away for (for those of us who live away from home.) Wonderful, delicious recipes (every one I tried was a hit!), tips on decorating and presentation that are absolutely flawless - endless tips from a varying source of experts - I hope I always have a subscription to this magazine! Way better even than a Martha Stewart Publication!

Poetry

My beef is with Amazon's advertising "up to 75% off" for subscriptions. I've checked the rates for VQR, Poetry, Writer's Digest, and Poets & writers, and I'm four for four: Amazon's rates are either exactly the same as those posted on these journals' websites, or (in the case of Writer's Digest and P&W) more expensive. It's nice, I guess, that Amazon is providing more exposure for these journals; nonetheless, for them to claim they're offering a discount, while not exactly a lie (since they're offering a discount over the per-copy price), is deceiving, as they don't seem to be offering a cheaper rate than that already offered by the journals. Caveat, as always, emptor.

It is difficult to rate exactly since the first issue has not been delivered yet. However, I have seen the magazine on the newstands and really liked it. I believe it will meet all my expectations

Tin House is a terrific literary magazine. It's full of progressive, often experimental, prose, poetry, essays, etc. Check out "Bestial Noise" which is a collection of writing by many Tin House writers.

Not only was the price the cheapest I was able find anywhere, the first copy of the magazine, which was supposed to start in six to eight weeks, came only four weeks from my order date. What a deal!

Woodworkers Journal has been around a long time (40 years maybe?). Its because it is such a well written, well rounded magazine. Its my go to magazine for projects (which I have built many). The issue size is good, the writing top-notch, and projects galore. Good for the price, good for the projects, good for the write-ups. Their reviews of tools are usually spot on. I just find this and Fine Woodworking the best of the bunch.

Florida Review

from: Florida Review


I read a lot of literary journals, and I just came across the Florida Review. The current issue has a few of the best short stories I've read in a long, long time--and the poetry was absolutely superb. I'm glad I can subscribe on Amazon...and I'm looking forward to my next issue.
