That cover is gorgeous! Really, really gorgeous. I cannot wait over the next, what, two years?
to see all the entries at full size. And your forward, Cal, had me laughing out loud AND nodding my head in agreement...I now need to rustle up the cash to buy both this issue and the last one (I'm lagging behind in my hardcopy priorities...)
Fabulous job. That's all that needs to be said.
