Pros: Lots of variety; easy to read.
Cons: Lack of substance.
Summary: I am reviewing the March 2002 issue of Sunset although I also have the February issue as well. I am reviewing it for several reasons: 1.) The covers were appealing to me. I know some don’t want to hear about covers but it is a marketing...

Pros: Beautiful photos, good local travel and interesting recipes.
Cons: Peddles an unrealistically picture-perfect lifestyle few can afford.
Summary: "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: The photography; Friendly articles; Abundant recipes
Cons: Cheap staple binding; High base subscription cost
Summary: 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: Good ideas, attractive people, low-key wine column
Cons: Still presents a view of life that's virtually unachievable by most humans
Summary: 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: Recipes, feeding fantasies
Cons: Ad agencies dream
Summary: Well...........
It's like this, dears....
This is a very weird publication. The people who would most appreciate this magazine are the people who don't live in its subscription area. California Dreamin' is the name of the game.

Pros: Many useful ideas for travel, garden, home, and cooking; gorgeous photography
Cons: Only applies to those living in Colorado or further west....
Summary: 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: packed with information, nicely presented
Cons: none that I can find so far
Summary: 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: Happy Tummies
Cons: Expensive home suggestions
Summary: I first subscribed to Sunset because my step-daughter was having a magazine drive for school and I felt obligated to subscribe to something. But now I'm hooked! I enjoy the gardening articles and I plan to take the hike featured for its fall color in...

Pros: There is a God.
Cons: He hates me.
Summary: 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: Not too expensive, wonderful photography, recipes, travel information
Cons: Too much advertising.
Summary: 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: Excellent information,nice lay-out
Cons: none
Summary: If you live in the western U.S. or plan on visiting, this is the mag to subscribe to. It tells you all the happenings, all the sites, all the goings-on's(spell check?), when to plant, what to plant, how to decorate, how to cook, what to cook...It's just...

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
Summary: 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...
