In a bag? 
I'm governed by a self-imposed law that states "Never buy a magazine in a bag". All of us paupers in the middle of a credit crunch like to see what we're getting before handing over those six gold doubloons . Don't get me wrong, I know the magazine is lovely every month but some tutorials are relevant to me and some are not. And will the stuff on the disk work on my chugabug pc? And is there a Marta Dahlig picture inside? All questions are answered as I stand in WHSmiths and flick through it before deciding to buy, not to buy, temporarily defect and buy Corel Painter magazine or perhaps save my coins for next month's. All these questions are usually answered. But only when it's not in a bag!!!
But it is the 50th, isn't it? Maybe I'll buy anyway and tell no-one of my law. 
Did people vote for Pepper? I wanted that Linda Bergkvist one from Issue ...erm... whatever it was. (7?) Each to their own.
