SUMMARY: This magazine is primarily a showcase for the collector, introducing artists, and showing off really stunning work. There are a few projects scattered through the magazine as well, which means I will probably be looking for more back issues of this magazine rather than just the sample issue. I also really liked the surprise pullout cardstock sheet of paper accessories you can cut out to use in a panorama Halloween party. It was pretty neat, and probably not something that added to their bottom line, so was likely done just because they thought it was a cool thing to do. I can get behind a publisher like that.
August 2018- It is with great sadness I have to announce that Scott Publications has gone out of business, and will no longer be publishing some of my favorite magazines. I do not know if other publishers will be picking up the subscriptions and titles to continue them.
Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
