The Consumer Reports monthly magazine rates products and services, offering invaluable help in determining quality and truth-in-advertising. For example, the latest issue (November 2008) includes a cover story of "100 Top Products", and the issue also features additional articles about electronics, appliances, exercise equipment, and cars. This month, the magazine produces other articles such as "The Great Turkey Cook-Off" and "Get Ready for Digital TV". Stop by the Adult Services Reference Desk, and ask to see the latest Consumer Reports!
