 Town & Country becomes most interesting magazine May 7, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For years I have subscribed to Vogue, Elle, Bazaar and W - sometimes for at least 30 years I have read and enjoyed the fashion,health,gossip, international news and beautiful photos (I am an artist). Town and Country has been moving up and ahead of all but W as far as I can see. It is sophisticated and not as dully gentrified as it once was.
 Always interesting and a classic March 23, 2007

This is one of the few magazines that provides genuinely interesting, varied and useful information to people who enjoy a "financially comfortable" lifestyle.
They cover a wide range of topics, and are known for photos from recent charity events, debutante balls, and notable weddings.
From designer fashions to collecting art to their regular lists of best charities, best doctors, and best places to visit, this is a reliable magazine. It eschews fads and focuses on getting true value from everyday life.
This is not a magazine for everyone, but it's greatly appreciated by its regular readers. I've read almost every issue since I was 14 years old, and... well, that's a long time. If I could read only one magazine each month, this would probably be it.
If you're not making $1M plus a year, don't bother.... December 31, 2006

For what it is, this is a great magazine. The writing is well done, and the advertising isn't any more than any other magazine. However, the articles are mostly about exclusize (i.e. expensive) foreign getaways and the latest trends in weekend homes. Unless you have that kind of money, or you're the pathetic sort who likes to day dream that you do, this magazine will be a waste of money and a cause for class envy.
 Where are the articles??? November 21, 2006

AWFUL!!! This is just page after page after page of ads for grotesque jewelry - mostly gaudy watches and necklace sets - and clothing. There were two "articles" at the very end of the magazine, and they were awful. One, on Christmas in the English countryside, should have been beautiful. Instead, it contained just a few pics and very little text. What a disappointment.
Don't waste your money. First pick up a copy in the supermarket before you waste money on a subscription. Once you see how really ridiculous this magazine full of nothing but ads really is, you won't waste your money on a subscription.

This magazine just dares people to pick the most boring, pretentious, or ostentatious feature within any given issue. "Town & Country" is an extremely old money venture, and while it does have some good and useful articles (and lovely advertisements for things that virtually nobody can afford,) much of the magazine is essentially centered on a very elitist worldview that grows very tiresome rather quickly.
"Town & Country" was initially recommended to me because of ostensibly good coverage of travel and architecture, two areas I have great interest in. As an applicable aside, when I read a list of tips in the offshoot "Town & Country Travel" publication on ways to ease the stress of long range flights, I realized there was a reality check due when one of the first tips was to always fly in first class, ignoring the fact that the vast majority of readers would rather buy a car with what a typical first class ticket to Europe or Asia costs.
As I mentioned, there are some good articles, and there are occasionally better and more useful offshoot publications like "Town & Country Travel" that are eminently more readable (although they still insist on advertising things like seven million dollar vacation homes on the coast, etc.) I will say that the photography is always good, and you can believe that if it appears here that it is the finest and most fashionable available: Hyacinth Bucket would, no doubt, like to be seen reading this magazine.
Despite having occasionally worthwhile features, I find "Town & Country" to be excessively pompous, therefore I recommend finding another publication focused on whatever area of interest you have, whether it is fashion, society, or travel.
