Teal is my favorite color so the logo looks good to me. The Jan issue is packed full of information, as are most issues. The one thing that I liked seeing the most is the front cover "map" in the contents section. I hope they keep doing that it makes finding an article that caught your eye on the front cover easy to find.

LordBullFrog,
Have you contacted Customer Sales and Service phone: 1-800-533-6644, e-mail: customerservice@kalmbach.com to see if they would send your copy via first class mail vice "slow boat". A month and a half is a long wait!! I'm sure it frustrates you to read some of these posts talking about something in a issue when you don't have the issue to look at.

TAMR159,
Look at the "Contents" page! There is more content in this issue than normal due to their celebration of 70 years of publishing.

For those of us that like window shopping, dreaming of what we want to buy and/or comparing prices, the ads are great. Besides, the advertisers pay most of the cost involved in publishing the magagizne. Without them our subscription cost would be in the thousands of dollars a year.

Kalmbach, keep up the good work providing us with quality magazines
