The research is impressive and the content quite interesting and accessible for the layperson. The choice and quality of the photographs accompanying the articles add not only information, but pleasurable viewing. I plan to check out your catalog and order back issues of several of your publications.

The articles are well written which is impressive given many are written by academics, so good editing! I also like the Preliminaries section.

I did enjoy the theme--it wasn't one I'd encountered in other types of sources (short of a big history text book!).
