When I was in LA, I used to read it all the time. Good tips for upcoming musicians as well as industry news. Every few months, they have some great "directory" issues as well. Names and addresses of record companies, producers, attorneys, studios, and more. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a good magazine for musicians. When I was in LA, I used to read it all the time.

The publication first gained widespread attention in the 1990s when Professor Campbell Harvey of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, along with two co-authors, found that ICRG provides information that has great predictive value with respect to future equity returns globally. Since then well-known finance textbooks (Bodie, Kane, Marcus, Investments, 6th edition (New York: McGraw-Hill Irwin, 2005) have called the ICRG and its parent company, The PRS Group, a "a leading organization" in the highly competitive field of country risk assessment. Research and Markets referred to the ICRG as "the perfect analytical tool for anyone assessing risk in foreign markets or making international investment decisions." Various IMF research papers have used ICRG's data, and the publication has been featured in Barron's magazine. With an international clientele, the PRS Group/ICRG has 250 senior advisers and country analysts stationed around the world, and has been featured recently on CNBC. <br /> <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 Probably the best (and oldest) source of country risk ratings and analyses on the market.

Delivery is late and sometimes out of sequence. The same publisher also does Brandweek for the same price and get this WITH ALMOST IDENTICAL CONTENT! The only difference is in the first few pages, after this it's word for word and picture for picture the same publication. Cudos to Global Media for pulling off this scam!

They methodically (out of their own pocket) visit an area, experiencing various hotels, bed and breakfasts, lodges, restaurants, sights, parks, walking tours, entertainment, etc., and then publish their findings. Often we find ourselves too busy to plan our own vacation, so we pull out one of their magazines and let them do the work for us. From beginning to end, the area we wish to visit is all laid out before us. Sometimes reviewing the publications helps us pick the area. They have specialized in travel from Nova Scotia to Key West. One issue a year is dedicated to Romantic Hideaways. We can't say enough about their experience as travel writers. We have been receiving the magazines for over a decade. This makes a delightful wedding gift. Worth every dollar!
