Short & Interesting, but Expensive

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2000
Review: This is an interesting little "magazette". It covers topics such as finance, health, and cars, and some others as well. The very short articles just don't go into any depth (Thus the name Bottom Line). Which is good for people who like to-the-point...

bottom line: marketing!

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2001
The Bottom Line: lots of interesting tidbits; very broad appeal; part of a slick, effective marketing program; expensive
Review: I recently started taking Bottom Line Personal (BLP) again after a several-year hiatus, mainly because I saw that it had gotten thicker. I realized that when I did so I was mainly buying their primary advertising vehicle for more profitable goods...

Bottom Line: succinct, to the point, useful

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: Great publication that you will look forward to receiving. This publication has a high value and will be referred to.
Review: There are hundreds of magazines out there that appeal to all interests, from hobbies to cars to finances to beauty to computers. No one magazine can appeal in all fashions to the reader. This is not a "catch-all" magazine but it does a good job in...

Great Bathroom Reading

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2008
Review: This is a super little magazine that covers a variety of topics from finance to health to how-to in just enough detail to be helpful but not wordy. Written in a newsletter kind of style, the articles are mostly shorter than an epinion and as...

Gotta Love This Magazine

Date of Review:  May 3, 2000
Review: We are on our third year of receiving The Bottom Line. I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical of this magazine when my husband first ordered it. Now, I'm hooked.

As a mother of two small children with not a whole lot of extra time on...

The real Bottom Line...

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2000
Review: I have subscribed to Bottom line on and off..At least once a month I get renewal notices and free offers from them but my overall satisfaction with their magazine (more like a 5 - 15 page pamphlet) wasn't what I expected.

I did get alot of...

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2000

Bottom Line Personal Life Style

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: I can't make choices for everybody but for me this publication is a great match.
Review: I think I have found some thing, some tip, some suggestion in almost every issue of Bottom Line Personal that has helped me save money, save time or save some part of my health. I have subscribed to it for about a decade and I am always amazed with...

Bottom Line, No Sale

Date of Review:  May 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: I don't really think it would help most people with common sense but the freebies are worth the subscription.
Review: Every once in a while I get sucked in by an ad for a product with "insider knowledge", or great "money-saving secrets" or some such thing. Sometimes, if it has an ironclad moneyback guarantee I try it figuring I have nothing to lose. Hence, my...
