Sunset Magazine

Pros: Lots of variety; easy to read.
Cons: Lack of substance.

Pros: The photography; Friendly articles; Abundant recipes
Cons: Cheap staple binding; High base subscription cost

I like reading magazines, and several of the ones I read are dedicated to specific areas of the United States or the world. One publication that is regional in nature is Sunset, a magazine about living in the western United States. ...

Pros: packed with information, nicely presented
Cons: none that I can find so far

I came home from work the other day and checked the mail. To my surprise, I had received the November issue of Sunset magazine. Now, I don't exactly recall subscribing to it, but I must have on one of my many forays into the internet world. I had seen...

Pros: There is a God.
Cons: He hates me.

Balmy beaches, majestic mountains, spectacular sunsets... whatever.

Zip-Loc Freezer Bags? Now there's a reason to move out West.

After being switched at birth by a very bitter Prince Rainier, who not only wanted a girl, but a...

Pros: Good ideas, attractive people, low-key wine column
Cons: Still presents a view of life that's virtually unachievable by most humans

That's what it's subtitled. And since, by golly, I definitely live in the west, I guess I'd darn well better be reading Sunset if I hope to have a prayer of keeping up with all of my fellow wine-tasting, wildflower-planting, cozy-window-seating,...

Pros: Excellent food and garden features with some helpful home ideas thrown in
Cons: Too much classified advertising and smack in the middle after Travel

I started subscribing to this magazine a little over a year ago. My United Airline points were expiring and they were giving me the opportunity to cash in these points for magazine subscriptions. I perused the list and only came upon one Home and...

Pros: Beautiful photos, good local travel and interesting recipes.
Cons: Peddles an unrealistically picture-perfect lifestyle few can afford.

"You don't seem like the type of person to read Sunset magazine," said my coworker (himself a subscriber) as he leafed suspiciously through the pages of the offending periodical on my desk. And he was right – I'm not. I only receive it because my mom ...

Pros: Great Photos/Articles/Low Price
Cons: I can't afford to go everywhere in the magazine

I recently began reading Sunset Magazine on a regular basis. I have not taken the step to subscribe yet but I am buying my issues at my grocery store. I think the thing about Sunset Magazine that grabs my attention every time, is the beautiful covers....

Pros: Good photography, Decent recipes
Cons: Addy, Nothing at all groundbreaking

Having returned from my annual trip cross-country to Las Vegas (yeah, baby!), this time with my new wife, I have returned to Epinions with a plethora of products to review (watch out Travel and Food!) and the usual deficit of time to do it in! It seems ...

Pros: Informative articles, good pictures
Cons: A few articles outside its regular coverage would provide variety

This magazine has been classified here as a home and garden magazine. But it isn't the typical women's magazine that that classification might suggest. In fact, I've often thought of it as a travel magazine. The first section in the magazine profiles...

Pros: Many useful ideas for travel, garden, home, and cooking; gorgeous photography
Cons: Only applies to those living in Colorado or further west....

I grew up on this magazine and Reader's Digest. I never really appreciated Sunset until I moved to Maryland and could find nothing close to its equal. Now I long for its familiar pages. Not only is it inspiring, but it is rooted in...

Pros: Not too expensive, wonderful photography, recipes, travel information
Cons: Too much advertising.

Sunset is one of the only magazines I absolutely MUST subscribe to! Now that I'm working at home full-time, and need to save money, I cut out magazines as one way to conserve, but I won't cut out my Sunset! Why? Let me count the ways.

The...

Pros: Great food ideas and travel features
Cons: Lots of ads

Since I live in the Pacific Northwest, I particularly enjoy this regional magazine of "Western" living.

The magazine features departments on Garden, Home, Food, and Travel.

Garden:
Although I enjoy all the features,...

Pros: Great detailed info, lots of recipes, wonderful ideas!
Cons: hmmm...maybe too much advertising

I think that this is a magazine that is "Pre-Req", in my family!!! My Grandma, Aunts and Mom are all subscribers as well as myself!! One look at the magazine and you would see why.

Sunset is a AWESOME combination of Cooking,...

Pros: Nice, diverse publication
Cons: Some travel articles are too rabidly environmental

Sunset magazine has a great mix of western travel articles and home and garden information. It was the first magazine my wife and I subscribed to after we married. We're still big fans of this publication. She loves the home, garden and cooking...
