★★☆☆☆
A great little magazine ruined by excessive ads
I received my first copy (February/March 2014). Out of 72 pages there were 31 pages of ads - not including the 1/2 or 1/4 page ads, but including 16 pages of "Woman Within" (!) ads. I ordered this magazine based on some old copies given to me by a friend. The April/May 2011 copy has only 7 pages of ads, not including very few 1/2 or 1/4 page ads, out of 68 pages (including back cover). Or, the June/July 2010 issue which has 8 pages of ads out of 68 pages. But you don't have to count like I did - just read a new edition and see how irritating the ads are. I see they have a different editor now than before. I have already canceled my subscription (through Amazon) because I don't expect the excessive ads will change in the next few months. A great little magazine ruined.
