Vanity Fair Magazine Subscription

Pros: Great photos & articles: completely readable from cover to cover

Cons: Can be sometimes politically charged- a pro or con, depending on who you ask

The Bottom Line: A more refined version of today's tabloids, with a few news/current events articles sprinkled about to help you feel smarter

Review: There must be some kind of magic charm on the camera lens of Annie Liebowitz. As a contributing editor of Vanity Fair, she consistently manages to capture a unique and utterable presence of well-known celebrities in a way that your average ...

Pros: interesting, funny, sharp

Cons: too many ads

Review: I used to subscribe to Vanity Fair, but don't anymore. It never came quickly enough. I would see the magazine in the racks at the local bookstore and couldn't wait for it to show up in my mailbox. Yes, I'm paying more than I would otherwise, but...

Pros: Good writing, coverage of issues and people

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: This is how a magazine ought to be done.

Review: It’s a pleasure, in these days of advertising masquerading as magazine journalism, to encounter the literate writing of Vanity Fair.

I have occasion to see a lot of publications every day and Vanity Fair is one that always offers...

Pros: latest news and lengthy articles

Cons: a few too many ads

Review: I have been subscribing to this magazine for several years now. It is the first magazine that I would say has something for everyone, and I don't just mean women. It has really smart articles in it that cover everything from the arts, celebrities,...

Pros: Excellent journalism, lengthy and informative articles

Cons: Too many advertisements and many scented parfume ad inserts

Review: I subscribed to Vanity Fair a few years back for about five years. I thoroughly enjoyed their in-depth investigative journalism but, about four or five years ago, they started getting sloppy with their articles. The articles became shorter and...

Pros: Editorial depth and variety, fine writing

Cons: Subscription notices come six months early

Review: While I was searching for "Vanity Fair" under the epinions categories, I was kind of surprised to see it under "women's magazines" because I think it's much better suited to being a general interest publication.

Before I...

Pros: excellent articles, gorgeous photos, nice variety

Cons: way too many ads that pad the magazine

The Bottom Line: This is the ultimate magazine--the articles span the spectrum of topics and all are well-written with fabulous accompanying photos.

Review: My grandmother always bought my father a subscription to Vanity Fair every year as a Christmas Present. As a teenager, I'd look at the pictures and sexy advertisements, but I never understood the big appeal to such a boring-looking magazine. ...

Pros: Wide variety of articles

Cons: Wide variety of articles

The Bottom Line: Read it, love it. Vanity Fair is fabulously interesting and never disappoints.

Review: I used to never read Vanity Fair. In fact, I had no idea what Vanity Fair was all about. I thought it was a Glamour/Mademosille/Cosmo type mag, full of impossibly thin women wearing impossibly perfect makeup and impossibly revealing clothing. WRONG,...

Pros: decent articles

Cons: still too many ads

Review: Why do I like Vanity Fair? 2 major reasons. 1. No embarrassing headlines. 2. Some really great articles, and not on things like this season’s new heel height. The August 2000 edition featured Heath Ledger (from “the Patriot”) on the cover. Be...

Pros: Literate, intelligent & timely

Cons: far too many ads

The Bottom Line: If you are limited to getting one subscription, Vanity Fair satisfies the need for current events overview and what is happening in entertainment.

Review: I have been a Vanity Fair reader for years after stumbling upon an issue with beautiful photography gracing it's cover. This caught my attention enough to pick it up, read cover to cover and then subscribe. The contributors are top notch. Hard hitting...
