1.0 out of 5 stars Sucks...don't waste your money., March 2, 2009

This review is from: Herb Companion (Magazine)

I have been a subscriber to this magazine since I was seventeen. Several years ago they got a new editor, and I began to see the seeds of what has become a disastrous change.
What used to be a classy, engaging, user-friendly magazine about herbs and herbal living, has turned into a Martha Stewart Living wannabe, Add- oriented, waste of strain on the environment.
I thought after a three year break maybe they would have gotten a new editor, or they would have realized that they were ruining a good thing. But I was wrong. I wish I could have my $19.95 back.Please don't waste your money, instead look for back issues( pre-2003). they will give you a taste of this magazine when it was actually worth something.

1.0 out of 5 stars A great disappointment - not what it used to be, January 9, 2009

This review is from: Herb Companion (Magazine)

This used to be a really outstanding magazine in the 90s, when it was published by Interweave Press. Each issue was thick with informative articles, high quality photos, wondeful recipes and craft ideas. The most important people in the herb world wrote regular columns and articles, people like Tom DeBaggio.

I unfortunately let my susbscription expire and was shocked when I renewed it and this new version showed up in my mailbox. It bears little resemblance to the original magazine. Not only is it less than half the size of the original magazine, it has considerably less content and many more ads. The wonderful columns are gone and the articles are superficial and geared toward those who are new to herbs. I treasure all my past issues of Herb Companion. I won't be renewing my subscription.

This review is from: Herb Companion (1-year auto-renewal) (Magazine)

This is an extremely light, shallow magazine. The editors seem deathly afraid of giving any real information about anything. Herbs are discussed almost strictly in a culinary sense, and even in that arena there is nothing that is new or fresh. Really disappointing.
