Harper's Magazine

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Magazines
from: Harper's Magazine


I used to read Harper's when I was a cynical 20-something. Now that I'm a somewhat less cynical 30-something, I just can't take the nearly hysterical atmosphere of gloom that pervades it. Life is grim for many around the world--always has been, always will. Wallowing in that grimness isn't in anyone's interest. Additionally, Harper's doesn't give voice to alternative political viewpoints--if they had their way, the editors would pack the courts, congress, and White House with liberals no matter the cost. This is a pluralist society and a magazine with the intellectual firepower of Harper's at its disposal should be strong enough to admit a range of views. Let the Harper's politburo have their funereal fun and read The New Yorker instead.

CosmoGIRL! (1-year)

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Magazines
from: Hearst Magazines


I bought this for dirt cheap, maybe $5-8 for the year. My daughter loves getting this each month and often asks if her current issue's arrived yet. I didn't give the full amount of stars because I'm not crazy about some of the articles and I don't like the ads selling to my child. That aside, there are some useful and entertaining things in there, too. I bought it for a 14 year old though now that I've looked at it I think it may be more appropriate for around 16.

Mental Floss

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Magazines
from: Mental Floss Llc


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.

People Magazine was a birthday gift for our daughter-in-law. She loves it and it started arriving much quicker than we thought it would. Very satisfied with purchase!

Gourmet (1-year)

Childrens Toy Shop > Magazines > Magazines
from: Conde' Nast Publications


I will be brief. I received this as a gift and am not a hobby or any other type of gourmet cook. However, I am impressed. It is well put together- great articles, supported by high quality photography and recipes that so surprisingly, are not intimidating. My college age daughter, now ever so sensitive to good quality food versus poor quality food was drawn to the magazine. I have ordered her a subscription for Christmas. Don't tell. :)

Macworld

from: Mac Publishing, LLC

November 23, 2001
I love macs so I wanted to know more about them and the products that go with them and enhance their outcome. For this, Macworld is great. Articles about current issues, advices on additional functions, reviews, tips and recommendations. But the magazine feels cheap, with very thin paper and many ads which are small formats and make the pages look mess. It was a bit of visual disappointment I must admit.

The Economist

from: The Economist Newspaper Group, Inc.

The special reports are useful for getting perspective on today's major issues.Weekly publication insures that the issues are not stale by the time they get around to providing their own analysis.The Wall Street Journal will cover the issues and how you will be affected now,but the economist has more of a global perspective and will focus on different regions of the globe. This is also a great publication if you desire to be that typical haughty stand-offish sort of fellow(haha,it can have the effect of making you look like a smug a-hole), but overall this is a great product.Im satisified with my subscription.
