I can well appreciate the historical museum images as well. Dont get me wrong here. I feel, with only two coloured pages (front and Back) in the whole magazine, it makes your selection/choice all that more critical…

I've always found at least one article that was really interesting in every issue. Sad to say, even with just two colour pages, I was really looking forward to seeing them and more:o)
