I believe you nailed it, Erin! (Reply to this comment)

I used to subscribe to Redbook myself, but now that I read so much less, I sort of alternate between Redbook, Women's Day, and Family Circle. I used to really like the fiction piece in Redbook, too. I TOTALLY agree with your comment on the fashion layout feature - not only can I not AFFORD a costly high couture piece, nor find that style to fit my large economy-size body, but where in the world would I PERSONALLY find to wear such a thing? Great insight!

I've been really dismayed about many of the magazine reviews because most of them seem to be based on examining one or two issues. It's obvious from your comments that you have looked at numerous issues. The trends that you've mentioned would really affect MY purchasing decision!

Wow, I didn't it was that old, but I know they've been tinkering with it lately to keep it modern.

I just wanted to compliment you on the way you format your reviews. I noticed that the other day on one of your online stores reviews - very nice use of italics and bolding without overdoing it. Easy to read and organized looking!!

because I remember my mother reading this in the 1940s. I didn't know it was still around. Nice review.
