And I was only talking about quality issues - paper, printing, general reproduction - not content. --> One magazine you are likely to be positively impressed with is SELECT, from Germany, sold C$20.00 in Quebec. Very large, about 15" high x 11" wide, rather good paper, excellent typography & layout, outstanding portfolio approach, informative advertising, the photographs used span all sorts of techniques and concepts, definitely eye-candy for a Leica person. Standard quadrichrome printing, not hexachrome. Consistently excellent from issue to issue. Collectible, by definition ! SELECT photography is so good, it's frustrating. --> If you like National Geographic, you'll flip on GEO; perhaps available in English and other languages by now. Nonesuch photography, graphic arts and printing quality. --> One non-photo specific magazine that keeps impressing me with its consistently outstanding visual presentation, printing quality (colors to rave about ! ) and varied coverage is Spain's MUY INTERESSANTE, what LIFE could have become if it had kept pace. The paper could be thicker, but this magazine delivers ! Andre Jean Quintal
