Summary: Nice but Boring
Comment: I am often amazed by how much money is spent on these homes and how little creativity is involved. I have been a subscriber [a gift from my family] for many many years and the magazine never changes. Every so often there will be something great, but there is much more beige wall to wall than anything else. Tasteful, safe and unimaginative. But of course they have high end advertisers to please. Long ago I stopped using the magazine for ideas.

Summary: Magazine for the dead or soon to be
Comment: I cannot say enough bad about this magazine. When House and Garden was shut down last year, my subscription was replaced by AD, and every month when it comes in the mail, I basically take off the plastic wrapping to shred it and then recycle the magazine. I need to find the time to call and cancel it.
There is absolutely NOTHING inspiring or interesting in this magazine. I can't help but think that only dead or extremely old people would enjoy this magazine. The interiors are dowdy, lifeless, and boring. There are no fresh or new ideas and everything is styled to look like a furniture showroom that does very little business. If I want to feel depressed and smothered, I just have to pick up this magazine.

Summary: Exceptional Views of an Exceptional World of Architecture & Design
Comment: For many years, I've subscribed to Architectural Digest. This magazine has provided me with a visual buffet of extraordinary homes and landmark buildings from around the world. Four years ago, while planning the interiors of a home I was building, one of the best resources for design came from the pages of Architectural Digest. Despite the magazine's inclusion of expensive, high end interiors, I was able to draw many ideas from the magazine for my limited budget. In the past, I've paid the subscription price directly to the magazine's corporate billing address. However, after having read an article in AARP mentioning that Amazon offers magazine subscriptions at a discounted price, I was able to renew Architectural Digest for two years for less than the usual cost of a one year subscription. My thanks for the opportunity to continue my subscription to this magazine of superior content at a price which I could afford!

Summary: "Architectural Digest " magazine
Comment: I was VERY happy to be able to suscribe to this high-quality magazine for such a wonderful savings!
I have read random issues for a long time, but I had a tough time with the suscription price - VERY spendy! Through Amazon, I was actually able to afford it!
Thanks again!

Summary: Nothing compares to Architectural Digest
Comment: There is nothing more to say about this wonderful magazine.
I have a new home and have found the Digest to be a marvelous source of ideas and products that I would have never had or found otherwise
