GQ (1-year)

Amazon.com Review:
The "GQ look" is synonymous with classic cool and sophistication, anddespite a recent outburst of trendy magazines (think Maxim and FHM) vying for theattention of young professional males, the steeped-in-traditionmonthly GQ carries on without missing a beat. Yes, there's moredécolletage gracing the cover than there used to be, butGQ continues to supply enough cultural commentary, celebrityprofiles, features, and style guides to keep the modern man in touchwith what's going on in the world from month to month.

GQ'sideal reader is probably one who actually might be able to afford anyof the high-end suits, shoes, and watches featured among the countlessads packed between the covers. Though the average reader might enjoyscanning a fashion spread about steakhouses entitled "How to Dress fora Porterhouse" and reading articles like "50 Ways to Blow Your Bonus,"it's unlikely that such folly holds much practical advice. Literaryeditor Walter Kirn keeps short fiction on display, and Alan Richman'swriting on food and dining out is always entertaining, even when hecomes across as borderline cranky. Two regular Q&A features, "TheStyle Guy" and "Dr. Sooth," run the gamut from when it's appropriateto wear a straw hat to problems in the bedroom.

Rating: - Damn good magazine
I have read GQ Magazine for almost 9 years now.This is by far my favorite magazine to resubscibe to over and over again.
Rating: - GQ is a life saver
My girlfriend detected a whiff of perfume on my clothes one night in bed after I had gone to a local strip club.She was very upset.I told her that I had been reading GQ earlier and must've accidentally rubbed one of the 500 cologne ads in the magazine against my clothes.She totally bought it.Now if there were only a way to explain the herpes using GQ.
Rating: - month old magazines delivered late
I am receiving a magazine that gets delivered on the 26th of the month and is an old issue each month. I am trying to find out why this is happening but haven't yet. Also the first issue was Feb. and I bought the subscription on Feb 25th, when the March issue was out and on the selves. So now they say my subscription will end in Jan. 2010. Received March issue on March 25, not right.
Rating: - good value
I ordered this subscription from Amazon and in 3 weeks I got my first issue.Very fast processing.

GQ has been around forever. It has now become more a mainstream book competing with more in the likes of Maxim but still with some of the elegance that it always had.

I look to this magazine for the latest trends in fashion, and tech.It's not the best book, but it is a good read.
Rating: - Neither Quarterly nor Gentlemanly
Instead, monthly and vulgar. Don't waste your time. What was once a respectable magazine now aspires to be Maxim.
