- Pros: It's all about the South!
- Cons: Horrible new format, cheap paper, ad-heavy, uninspiring recipes
I am devastated! I have been reading Southern Living for at least 35 years. It was part of my life, my familiy heritage, my culture. I noticed the format change instantly and HATED it. Every month now I weep over the loss of a dear, treasured friend. The glorious magazine, whose many back issues I saved and refused to recycle, is not the beauty it used to be. I don't like the look, the feel, or the instant food recipes. Bring back the "southern" in Southern Living!! I've hemmed and hawed over renewing because I couldn't make the break, but I've finally decided not to renew. If the old format comes back, I will be a delighted return subscriber. PLEASE! Give us back our old Southern Living.

- Pros: travel tips
- Cons: articles too brief, poor pictures, print and paper quality
Our family is saddened by the overall loss of quality of our favorite magazine. The anticipation of the mail carrier delivering an afternoon/evening of pleasurable reading is gone. As a midwesterner living in the south it was an invaluable resource for all things southern. It was a great find for this midwesterner turned southerner. Please renew it to its former glory so we can all happily renew our allegiance to SL. We hope SL is listening.

- Pros: History of a great magazine
- Cons: Now it's awful, hard to tell articles from ads
I've subscribed to SL and for myself and my sister since 1983 and it saddens me to not renew my subscriptions this year, but it's no longer worth reading. It's hard to tell the articles from the ads. They break up articles with so many ads throughout. They put tiny, postage-stamp sized inset pictures within other pictures, which are pointless, as they're too small to see. I also have the Annual Recipe books since 1983 and I've contacted Oxmoor House to not send that this year. I used to look forward to receiving SL each month, and spent lots of time reading it. Now the way it's bound, and the content are just like the cheapo "home and garden" magazines that take 5 minutes to read, and have no worthwhile content. I'm looking for a new favorite magazine! I feel like I've lost a friend...
