I bought this as a substitiute for a Vanity Fair & GQ subscriptions that had ended. I like the editorial aspects much better. I also look forward to certin sections each month. I will resuscribe when the time comes.

I'm unsure why I had not found out about Esquire earlier. It's a great magazine all around. From fantastic articles about things you normally wouldn't see in stuff like People, or even Time. Also included are stories about some of the best actors and icons in American entertainment. They may not be responsible for world changes, but they're important in their own respect. Much like Playboy, some of the best fiction writen can be found between the covers of Esquire. This magazine has tidbits of information to help the normal man survive in the real world. It gives tips on how to make first impressions on the most improtant people you may encounter. Overall, it's a great magazine whether you're looking for helpful hints, interesting reads, great stories, or just plain fun.

I know these fashion mags have a lot of adds, but it seems like I flip through over 20 pages before I find anything to read. If you took the adds out, you problaby wouldn't have much more then a flyer left.

I've been a regular reader of Esquire for just about 15 years. I'll probably be a reader for another 15. No other men's magazine compares: "GQ" might be twice as thick-full of ads, maybe an interesting article once in a while. "Men's Vogue" just doesn't have any personality that I can determine, where "Esquire" has a very definitive voice, full of character. "Details" is a whole lot of nothing-Maybe a page or two on something that might be interesting if it were developed. I'll not even mention "Maxim". Esquire's got, and has had, the most interesting writers. I consistently read it cover to cover.

Entertaining Magazine and good waiting room material! You don't mind waiting if they have this magazine on hand.

I really hate magazines like this that have more advertisements for 800.00 shoes than they do actual articles on anything remotely interesting. I subscribed for a year but I hardly even crack the pages open when it comes in the mail now. Is anybody really as vain as the editors seem to assume that we are? I think you might like this magazine if you are a money hungry elitist who abandoned your kids in the pursuit of a bigger office and a nicer car. IF you are interseted in which 10,000 dollar watch best fits your summer wardrobe then this magazine is for you.

This is a great magazine for guys like myself that want to find ways to constintly look great.

I was a little disappointed on how long it took for me to recieve my first issue. Now with another magazine that ordered at the same time Ive recieved 3 issues to your one

For Christmas, I ordered my hubby a subscription to Esquire through Amazon and got a years subscription for only $3 because of the magazine special that was being featured at the time. What a deal!

Interesting magazine. The page layout is sometimes annoying and difficult to follow. Content is entertaining.

In my opinion, it's one of the best magazines in the market. I read it from cover to cover. It's not just ads and pretty pictures of semi-gods. There are actually interesting articles with great sense of humor. I wonder why they make better clothing and better magazines for men and women get stuck wearing high heels.

The content can be a little lacking and buried behind pages and pages of ads. But for the price, what can you expect?

I've been a reader for 10 years now. It's got a little bit of everything in it. Something every guy can read.

The older I get, the more I appreciate this magazine. It's for real men and the recommendations keep me dressing, as well as smelling, great thanks to the clothing and cologne ads.

Each issue of Esquire is like this: 30 pages of ads for expensive clothing, cars, cologne, and stuff like that before you even get to the table of contents. Then, in no particular order, you have an article about a celebrity you have absolutely no interest in, a feature about some clothing company or gadgets or something like that that you think is a really long ad (but isn't. Well, not officially.), a pictorial of some female celebrity you have never heard of, and one or two readable articles (these usually come in the form of short fiction or humor). Oh, and a lot more ads.

If you're thinking about subscribing to this because it's cheap and you just want something to read on the toilet or whatever, don't do that to yourself. Just subscribe to Mental Floss. If you want to have forgettable pop culture rammed down your throat and ads for all the latest gadgets and clothing so you can buy all that stuff so then when people come over to your swingin' secret agent pad they can look at your stuff and go "Damn, this guy's as cool as the people in magazine ads," then you should totally subscribe to this.

Esquire is usually the magazine I pick up and read when I am waiting to get my hair cut or sitting at an airport. The articles are interesting and often humorous. I enjoy the sections on men's fashion. Esquire is definitely the best of the men's magazines.

I first subscribed to Esquire five years ago as part of a package subscription that got me Esquire, FHM, Maxim, and Stuff for a ONE LOW PRICE!!!. After a few issues of the other magazines, they became nothing more than an annoyance, and I would frequently throw them in the recycling bin before even reading through them. Esquire, however, made a subscriber out of me. The magazine is funny throughout. They do a great job of writing in a very specific, dryly amusing tone that permeates all the articles and makes everything a joy to read. They have many regular features I look forward to, but I also am consistently impressed with the top notch choice of topics their feature articles cover, and the writing within them. My only complaint would be that I would like to see more fiction. When they do publish fiction, it is always of quality, and it makes the dry spells that much harder to endure.

As another endorsement, I would also like to mention that I literally have never had someone over at my house who has not enjoyed reading Esquire. Friends, girlfriends, party-goers, parents, siblings, and even one time a cable internet installation guy. Everyone loves Esquire. I highly recommend this publication.

Funny, witty, relevant. And I am a female. I'm not sure my demographic was their intended target but I am always happy with the articles in Esquire. I read it cover to cover.

This is a magazine I never thought of picking up. Well since it was a great deal, I gave it a try. This is an excellent one not only for myself, but my husband. All articles are excellent for both men and women. Highly recommend!

I hadn't read Esquire for a few years, but remembered it as being a great mixture of satire, fashion, and just interesting articles. When the opportunity to subscribe for a year for $2 presented itself, I couldn't resist. The magazine has changed somewhat, but the features that have not been continued have been replaced with other interesting things. It's a great read. I'm very happy with it.

One issue into my subscription, I really did enjoy my first issue of Esquire. I look forward to my future issues. I am not sure I would pay the normal cost of a subscription, though. The magazine makes enough money on the ads they sell, I see no reason why I should pay to read them. The articles were entertaining, informative and influenced me to investigate certain issues for myself.

Esquire is the only magazine I subscribe to. The pictures are nice, the articles are even better, covering a range of topics from fashion, women, politics, to current events, social issues, and more! It definitely tries to target a more sophisticated audience than its rival magazines, GQ & Details. Plus, you can never go wrong with Chuck Klosterman, whose almost-monthly contributions alone make this magazine a worthy subscription.

It must be VERY difficult to put a name on a list and put something in the mail. I got two subscriptions via Amazon and neither has arrived yet. Very frustrating.

I first picked up a copy of Esquire a few years back at an airport, read it cover to cover to the flight, and haven't looked back since. It is a great magazine for men who are past the frat boy humor stage of their lives and are looking for something with more substance. The magazine's writers are top notch and regular segments like Answer Fella, Funny* Joke From A Beautiful Woman, and a sex column written by Stacy Grenrock Woods are always fun to read. The magazine regularly contains interesting articles on cocktails and recipes, restaurants and bars, movies and entertainment, sports and US and world news. And of course interviews with gorgeous and intelligent women, including a highly creative interview of Halle Berry by Tom Chiarella where Miss Berry writes the article and Mr. Chiarella annotates it. This is just one example of Esquire's creative approach to journalism. Sure, The Sexiest Woman Alive (where the woman so annointed is revealed piece by piece in different issues) may be tired (and to some, sexist), and some of the writing gets a little too tongue-in-cheek at times, but I have not yet found another men's magazine for which I would pay for a subscription.

I'm a photographer so I like to look at the pictures. Sometimes you get some great articles but often they are boring.
Still, for the price, you could do worse.
What kind of review is this?
It is the kind of review you get when the writer has a cold.

80+% of it is nothing but ads. To me it's not worth it. If there were this many ads in any other media no one would view it.

This is one of the best magazines out there. The articles and advice are good. I really enjoy the jokes and the 10 Things You Don't Know About Women features every month.
