Brain Food December 3, 2007

After reading my first issue of Harper's, I felt like I had just spent time with some very intelligent people ... excellent writing.
 Still, It's a Good Magazine May 18, 2007

Although at times the advertising can be questionable (the recent issue includes an ad placed by Chevron), the content is well worth the low price of a subscription. There are few magazines left that include material of such depth, and the broad scope of its content is both suitable and satisfying.
One important benefit Harper's provides to its subscribers is access to the full content of all arhived issues back to 1850. This alone is worth the price of a subscription.
One more note: I hope it is appropriate to suggest subscribing directly, as this will knock off quite a few weeks of nail-biting anxiety as you impatiently and obsessively check your mailbox, waiting for the first copy of your subscription to arrive.
 No signs of a subscription! February 19, 2007

On January 19th, I ordered this subscription as a gift for my niece. It is exactly a month later, and she has received no notification that she is going to receive the magazine. I was aware that the magazine would not arrive for several weeks, but in years past, notification has been sent out by magazines to inform recipients of the upcoming subscription. I give Harper's the benefit of the doubt when I give 3 stars... since I have yet to see any sign of a subscription.
Well written and interesting February 18, 2007

I don't know how they do it, but Harper's always seems to present me with tidbits of information that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. It seems like they must have an army of people digging through documents to come up with some of their content. I generally read it cover to cover within a few days of getting it. I think it's great.
A monthly break from pedestrian print journalism January 28, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This magazine has been a terrific little treasure for at least 25 years.
I started reading it when they printed a piece on Bert Lance called
"The Money Vanishes" during the early Carter years. That piece along
with a Larry Kramer article during the early days of the HIV epidemic
are the two most compelling pieces of US journalism I have read in
forty years.
How any reviewer (below) can see Harper's as a "Left Oriented Magazine"
is a bright mystery to me. Any piece as scathing as "The Money Vanishes"
could NOT appear in a left-slanted magazine.
The reader should be ready for a hard look at topics from another,
challenging perspective. Along with The Economist and The Atlantic, this
is a magazine I would recommend as brain food for airplane trips and
waiting rooms etc. Bascially, Harper's is the other end of the comtinuum
from most of the print medium in the US now.
