trail runner mag
I started running in April and discovered trail running this summer when my normal route was in the blazing sun. Not as fancy as Runner's World but motivating to get out and see nature. Good pictures and quality articles encouraging a "different approach" to exercise. ... Read more

Targeted toward the dumbest marks.
Now, there's nothing wrong with being a mark. At some point in their life, every wrestling fan was a mark. Now with the growing popularity of the internet, more and more fans are becoming smarks (which has the potential to eventually put this magazine out of business).

Back in 1998, I was a mark. I was addicted to the WWF and had to have every piece of merchandise on it that I could find. Also back then, since SmackDown! hadn't even debuted yet, this magazine was just simply called "WWF Magazine". Needless to say, I got myself a two-year subscribtion and was usually enthusiastic when it came in the mail.

When I got a bit older (and smarter), I realized just how bad this magazine was. It's obviously just targeted to marks, since all of the columns act like everything in wrestling is 100% real. If that wasn't bad enough, the writers of these columns try to make it seem like these are deep, thought-provoking issues, and even try to travel into the minds of what these fictional characters are possibly thinking.

Another thing that bugged me was how outdated this magazine always was. For example, I'd get an issue an February, and all they'd be talking about was stuff that happened in December. It's sometimes ebarassing when you read an article that questions "How long will the fued between The Rock and Ken Shamrock last?", when in reality, the fued already ended long ago. That's just the thing about wrestling - it's a fast-paced business and everything can change at the drop of a hat.

WWE hardcore fan
Smackdown magazine gives you the inside details of your favorite wrestlers [good and bad]. If you like Thursday Smackdown then this magazine is for YOU! PLUS, the pictures are awesome. Most of the time the poster they have in WWE magazine are really great to hang on the wall.
It gets even better! If you get both Raw and Smackdown magazine deliver to your house you won't be dissappointed. It has high impact photos, interviews of your favorite wrestlers, up coming shows and payper view that might come to your area and so much more!
Smack your computer and order it NOW!

A WWE fans DREAM
This magazine is great. It goes inside smackdown and talks personally with some of the smackdown talent. This is a great magazine and i recomend it to any WWE fan even if you don'y watch snackdown, it's good way to keep in touch with the wrestling world!

A Bad Magazine
This magazine started out as WWE Magazine then they decided to change the name to Smackdown Magazine and what was worse is that they didn't even give people a chance to cancel their subscription if they wanted to. This magazine is nothing but a piece of crap!!!! ... Read more

The best gymnastics magazine out there
International Gymnast (IG) is a wonderful magazine for any gymnast, parent, fan, coach/teacher, and anyone else involoved in gymnastics. It's probably the best, most complete, and longest gymnastics magazine out there. Inside Gymnastics and USA Gymnastics and the other magazines are great, but they don't have as much content as IG.

International Gymnast's staff is comprised of many former gymnasts and people involoved in gymnastics somehow. That way, you can make sure the articles are very accurate and mistake-free. IG features competition news and results for everything from the European National Championships to the USA Olympic Trials. Additionally, there are tons of wonderful photographs accompanying the articles! IG also has beautiful posters, the latest on retired gymnasts, photo galleries, gymnastics news around the world, and coverage of collegiate championships. Even the advertisements for leotards, grips, gymnastics supplies, etc., are interesting!

Overall, I love IG and think that is a fantastic magazine. If you love gymnastics, you will also love this magazine.

Fine Tuned
International Gymnast - or IG, as it's easier to call - was the first gymnastics magazine to which I subscribed. It took about 6 weeks for the first issue to reach me, and when it did, I was dizzy with excitement. I had never seen so many pictures of gymnasts, gymnasts who were exotic and foreign or completely infamous. There was a poster inside. There were articles by Nadia Comaneci and Bela Karolyi and Shannon Miller. There were advertisements for gorgeous leotards offering free catalogs and fabric samples. It was too much joy!

This is a very well put-together, well-respected, professional gymnastics magazine, yet its editors and writers are all open and friendly to the subscribers, and very close to the actual intimate world of gymnastics. Several staff members are former gymnasts themselves, or are married to gymnasts.

IG makes you feel right at home in the gymnastics community. With a subscription you get posters - quite large ones when events like Olympics or World Championships happen, pull-out gymnastics calendars, advice on gymnastics moves from coaches, lavish articles covering meets, exquisite photography from top gymnastics photographers such as Dave Black and Eileen Langsley, information on the Code of Points, college gymnastics, and much more than I can list.

It's not quite as bubbley as, say, Gym Stars, the former quarterly magazine from Britain, which doled out prizes and posters non-stop, but IG is probably the best known and most together magazine out there. Even though IG is in the USA, it manages to fine-detail all countries with gymnastics programs, from Canada to Holland to Australia to South Africa.

If you don't want to subscribe right away, pick up an issue at a bookstore which offers a large variety of magazines, as IG is often hard to find at stores. The best things are worth searching for! ... Read more

THE ONE
IF YOUR A HARD-CORE SKI BUM OR A WEEKEND WARRIOR THIS IS THE MAGAZINE FOR YOU!!!

The Best skiing magazine by far!!
There is no comparison to Powder Magazine for hard core skiers. The writers and photographers that contribute to Powder Magazine are passionate skiers. They are in it for the love of the sport and it shows in their work. The magazine has the best photography spanning everything from extreme stunts in Alaska to Sunsets over the Alps. Every year Powder has a fantastic photo annual that is larger in size and stapled so as to have better 2 page pictures. As a kid I would cut out the pictures and paste them all over my room and locker. As an adult, I just enjoy the pictures and writing and keep it on my coffee table.

I have been a subscriber for over 20 years and routinely give this as a gift to friends.

There is no other ski related magazine that compares.

The ONLY Ski Mag
Sure, Ski magazine offers you important information in their equipment buying guides, and Skiing covers the logistics of a family skiing vacation, but only Powder offers a snapshot into the essence of being on a mountain with two boards strapped to your feet. It's simply the closest thing to actually being there. In part, the editors achieved this feeling with unbelievable photographs - the best in the industry - but it seems that the writers are better able to tap into the spiritual and powerful moments a skier has felt standing, for example, on top of Whistler. For those moments when you can't be out on the slopes, keep this magazine close by!! ... Read more

O mundo gira e a bola rola
As there is this problem ,futebol is completely marginalized in USA ,and I do not enjoy reading on line, bothers my eyes! I want to hold the reading material in my hands, hehe!

To say, I also miss the "pink pages" of each issue of "La Gazzetta Dello Sport", it is too expensive to purchase from news kiosks here , "Il Corriere dello Sport" *does not even exist* on these newsstands here in Chicago! Uffa!

"World Soccer", ~the English futebol magazine has been sent from the goddess to quench my appetite to stay current "world wide" concerning "the beautiful game"!

With correspondents world wide, I can read monthly not ONLY on the Premiership, but of my beloved serie A (Italia) , futebol brasileiro, futebol argentino, and worldwide futebol from all countries !

The biggest joy, however, is that this journal is a "throwback" to times when magazines contained articles worth reading and multitude great fotos.

Most magazines these days are slick, glossy paper advertising rags , where the articles serve only as "filler" inbetween the adverts, such is our consumer -driven world has assaulted us!

These types of magazines are not worth anything but to wrap fishbones in their worthless pages, here is where "World Soccer" is so different!

Here in each "World Soccer" issue, there of course are adverts, but they are unobtrusive , and the excellent journalism is the order of the day! The passion is evident in each page.

To make avaliable on Amazon this "pretty move" ~ to offer this magazine is worth 1000 stars!

Nice presentation, strong content
The advent of the internet has taken a sledgehammer to the relevance of print media outlets. However one magazine that has avoided internet-related obsolescence is World Soccer. The major caveat for US readers, however, is how quickly the magazine can be shipped. In New York City in my pre-internet days (mid '90s), I'd wait with baited breath for the monthly arrival of each addition, overlooking the fact that many of their news stories were sometimes a month old by the time the mag hit the stands (I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because of this lag time in publication, at least here in the states).

So if you're someone who follows world soccer current events on a daily basis via the internet, World Soccer magazine will be of little use, other than the pictures and the coverage of regions often overlooked on the internet (Africa, Asia, etc.); however if you're only an occasional follower of the sport and want a print resource to keep you abreast of the major goings-on within the world game, this is the perfect choice (other good choices are FourFourTwo and GOAL magazines).

One of the first items I often find myself turning to is the "Team of the Month," which super-imposes players' names on a graphic green field (a.k.a. the "pitch") in the positions that they would take up, were it an actual team.

Good regional coverage...although there's a major emphasis on the European club game - then again, Europe is where the main action, with South America running a distant second. ... Read more

The draft horse industry standard journal
The Draft Horse Journal has been highlighting the major shows and sales since 1964. Articles cover harness, working horses, draft horse keeping, draft health issues, and important horses, breeds, and horsepeople. Also important are the advertisements -- the DHJ serves as a directory of services and supplies for the draft horse industry. Expect to keep your issues for future reference. Usually around 220-240 pp. ... Read more

Best overall magazine
No hype, this magazine serves the average person who likes to stay abreast of new guns, techniques, legal issues and general information and trends about guns.

a good magazine with editorial flaws
I'm an ocasional reader of "Handguns." I like the magazine for its
information. It's got great reviews, as do many of the gun/sport
magazines. Reviews of guns tend to include all the detail any casual
or professional shootist would need: loads, shell types, ranges,
force, and tested accuracy over all of them.

It's a great magazine to pick up if you see a review of a gun you're
interested in but it does have the same flaw many, if not most, of the
magazines in this category have. Some of the writers cater to a
general mindset/stereotype:
white-male-lower-middle-class-trophy-hunter, demi-educated,
right-wing, religious, etc... The editors of the magazine reinforce
this by allowing a bit much personal opinion of writers to be put up
along with good information. This sometimes lack of objectivity makes
the magazine less palatable despite its obvious merits.

It's unfortunate that gun ownership has become synonymous with thi!s
stereotype. It alienates many gun owners, or those merely interested in guns, who fall outside the narrow
view. ... ... Read more
