Based on what the OP saw, he likes it. What he wants to know is if he will have that same experience on a monthly basis, or if this particular issue was simply an aberration.
He doesn't want to sign up for a two year magazine subscription if the current issue is just a deviation from a norm of blah mediocrity. Why waste your money on a two year sub if all the mag will be good for is lining the bird cage?
Since he's never seen or gone with this publication before he's asking those that have what they think so he can decide if he wants to spend his money or not on a sub.
