Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Magazine so-so, service awful! Comment: I ordered this magazine through Amazon in Sept., expecting my subscription to start in Oct./Nov.with the current Fall issue. On 10-07-09, I received the Fall issue and the two issues preceding it! Since I already had them, I called the number listed here and told them that I thought I was paying for the current issue and the ones following it. I was told the subscription included previous issues and I pointed out the listing does _not_ say that and that I already had them. I was finally told I would be credited for the two and would now get the three to follow the current issue they sent. When I tried to get an email confirming this, the first response said my order would include the previous issues again! A second claimed it was now taken care of but still no direct confirmation that my subscription is supposed to end up to/and including the Summer 2010 issue. Be aware that Amazon's own magazine help page states that magazines you order are supposed to start with the current issue depending on the company's mailing cycle and when they get your order, _nowhere_ does it state they can send you _back issues_ to satisfy your subscription order. Per Amazon..."Once you've placed an order, it takes one to two weeks for your subscription to be received and scheduled by the publisher. Your subscription is then added to the publisher's next production cycle and shipped via standard mail. For example, if your monthly subscription was ordered and received by the publisher in November, and the December issue has already shipped, your order may be added to the January mailing." I won't be ordering this magazine again after this subscription runs out. Aside from finding it to be mostly ads and not nearly as comprehensive as American Bungalow (or even Style 1900), the fact that the parent company tried to complete half my order with unsold back issues(that they were apparently trying to unload) and the poor customer service means to me that they are _not_ interested in keeping the business of new customers. Customer Rating: Summary: Have not recieved my first issue yet Comment: I have not received my first issue yet. Hope it will be worth the wait. Customer Rating: Summary: Love it, Love it, LOVE IT! Comment: I don't know why you would have to choose between this and Circa 1900 and American Bungalow. All of them are VERY high quality publications. I get them all. I am simply an addict to Arts & Crafts Homes and Furnishings. It honors true artisans and appreciation for the unique and full of character. Something refreshing in this era of condos and sloppy stucco homes. Arts & Crafts Homes Magazine is beautiful. I was thrilled when it started and I found it in the newstand and every issue has been equally as enchanting. Customer Rating: Summary: New, Better? A&C Home magazine Comment: Just got the premiere issue of Arts & Crafts Homes, a new magazine from the same folks who make Old House Interiors. Several things recommend it over American Bungalow, which I do also enjoy - better quality printing and sharper photographs; far better typography and better laid-out pages (in fact, generally better art direction than most home magazines, and more sensitivity to the subtleties of type); a wider range of subject material - they are not quite as orthodox as Style 1900 and American Bungalow; and a better article-to-ad ratio. Of course, that last one could simply be a symptom of this being the firsts issue, so I'll have to keep reading to find out if it stays true. It's definitely worth picking up a copy; the current issue has extensive articles on Chicago bungalows, new work from a California artisans guild (including Debey Zito) and lots (really!) more.
