Hopefully this won't be considered non-kosher, but for anyone who is on the fence about this publication, I honestly have to say it's a steal for the asking price. You will get many excellent diagrams, all back issues, and everything new for a year. That really is a lot.
If I have one suggestion, it's really to change the description order of each issue. As is, it's a little confusing to me; perhaps the "posted by" can be listed last. It otherwise gives the impression that's the person who drew the diagrams/created the model.
