I'm not sure how one of the reviewers computed 3 pages of ads... I count 10 (pages 3, 19-23, 30,
36-39) and considering pages 1 and 48 are the cover and page 2 is the index that leaves 35 pages of
5.5" x 4.25" (half size pages when compared to other magic magazines) of content.
I just
don't see how this has a $10 price tag on it... granted it was a freebie with my $50 order and the
content is good, but this is clearly a vehicle for Penguin to advertise their stuff (Tarbell,
Penguin live, Open Box deals, ... etc). Is there anything wrong with that? No, it's the Penguin
Magic Monthly and I fully expected that, but I don't see this as being meant to compete with GENII
or Magic Magazine or ... as least not in its current form.
As an add in for $50 order this
is great. The content... the pictures... all very nicely and professionally done. If it ever becomes
a subscription I see $3-$4/issue as a reasonable price especially as I presume they'd advertise
other recent produce in there.
In a nutshell I like it, but it's not exactly amazing.
It's ok... glad it was a free extra
