Redbook Magazine

Pros: Inexpensive, lots of celebrity covers, fashions that aren't too expensive.
Cons: Thin flimsy pages, ad's everywhere, lots of blurbs and not many articles.

One of the great many perks of having a good relationship with my mother-in-law is that I have the good fortune to acquire her magazines as soon as she's done with them. That
means I don't have to go out and purchase Redbook on my own,...

Pros: They have a good track record.
Cons: I would say to read it and see, but I'm not that sadistic.

I don’t remember a time when “Redbook” magazine was not a part of my world. It was almost “Cosmo” before “Cosmo” was on my radar. It was conservative enough for my mom, in other words, but it had some cutting edge articles in ...

Pros: Good information and entertaining for the right audience.
Cons: A bit racier than I remember.

I found a really great price on magazine subscriptions about a year ago. For $3.00 a year, I could subscribe to Redbook. Since I used to subscribe to it a long time ago (and liked it very much), I jumped at the opportunity. In fact, I decided to have it...

Pros: interesting articles, something for everyone, not expensive when you subscribe
Cons: does have some "fluff", and quite a bit of ads

Redbook is my favorite magazine. I have subscribed to it for three years and don't plan to discontinue that subscription any time soon. Having this magazine come in the mail each month has helped me to make some much needed "me" time, which,...

Pros: Some information I haven't heard before; targeted demographic
Cons: Somewhat cluttered design

I seem to be on a magazine streak lately. I currently have subscriptions to five magazines: O, the Oprah Magazine, Reader’s Digest, Woman’s Day, Smithsonian, and Redbook. I’ve reviewed the first three, and of the...

Pros: Attractive covers, trendy beauty, fashion and style information, interesting advice columns, inexpensive
Cons: Too many ads, provocative article titles, too much celebrity coverage, little substance, frivolous articles

Redbook is 90% recommended by members on the Epinions.com Website. I guess I am in the minority. Lately, II find that reading this magazine is a waste of time. All the articles are superficial and many are simply fluff pieces. I rarely learn anything...

Pros: Informative, indulgent, and interesting.
Cons: A bit too sexually explicit to leave on the kitchen table.

Redbook claims on its front cover to be the publication that balances "family, work, love, and time for you". It definitely encompasses all of these ideals and more.

The cover typically features a celebrity. October's cover shows a svelte and...

Pros: There are few articles that interested me.
Cons: There are few articles that interested me!

I am 29 years old. I enjoy reading magazines. I am very picky about what I read.I am not a teenager, so I am not looking for any type of teen advice. I feel that the REDBOOK is supposed to be geared for women in their late twenties on up.

I...

Pros: A great read overall!
Cons: Only once a month

Redbook is another magazine that I cannot live without.
I know, I'm a magazine junkie, but this one is a keeper.
I have been subscribing to it for a few years now and
it's one of my favorite magazines to curl up on the sofa
and drink...

Pros: Well-written articles, balanced mix of topics
Cons: May become repetitive

Just beneath the vibrantly colored Redbook header are the words, “Balancing family ·work · love · time for you.” This magazine actually lives up to that comment. Redbook is one of the most well balanced women’s magazines out there, with a little bit of...

Pros: Interesting short articles, appeals to many ages
Cons: Lots of ads

Now that I have two kids, I’ve found it difficult to do as much reading as I would like. There never seems to be enough uninterrupted time in the day to concentrate long enough to really get into a novel. I’ve become more addicted to magazines as a...

Pros: cheap price, useful articles
Cons: too many ads, some articles lack substance

Being 21, I’ve come to a point in my life when reading articles about the best lip gloss are getting old (ie. Seventeen magazine), and reading articles about how to get the most out of my work day or how to pick the best dermatologist is more of what’s ...

Pros: Very helpful, well written articles
Cons: Cover "grabbers" are a little, er, graphic...

If my own title didn't grab you, try one of REDBOOK's title page "grabbers"; SEX: 5 steamy moves to try tonight. Imagine what a ten year old's imagination can do with that while standing in a grocery store's checkout aisle!
...

Pros: some light reading to pass the time
Cons: women only

Another one of the magazines my sister in law gave me to read is the magazine Redbook. I don't subscribe to magazines because of the cost, but I will sit and read them while passing time in the doctors' office and during my many trips to the dentist all...

Pros: Classy presentation, in depth articles
Cons: None

If I had one magazine to choose over all the others to subscribe to it would be Redbook hands down. I say this because it is ageless in that it doesn't stereotype any particular age group, yet is definitely a woman's magazine. Like the cover...
