Page Count Realisation!
pca_ronnie - 20 August 2008 - 11:06am
It's taken me 3 months to realise (although maybe I've missed a post here) but the page count has not gone down to 114 page!
For £5.99 we are actually paying for 98 pages. How?
Has anyone noticed that the "Explained" pull-out section is FREE.
Yes, that's right. Each issue from 187-189 includes a "Pull out and keep this free guide!" section. Issue 189 is 16 pages long (although only 14 pages of specific content, which, by my calculations gives 114-16=98 pages of paid for content.
Wow! Even worse value for money that people have been complaining about.
Why call is free? I like the section but please, PCA Team, don't say something is free when it isn't.
Getting more disgruntled.

Not Just Page Count
lagavulin1 - 26 August 2008 - 9:27amRonnie is right but its EVEN Worse. The font size has increased by a couple points. Easy to read sure but MUCH Less to read. Also the mag is padded with overlarge often pointless illustrations to further reduce content.
Whilst I'm at it the color depth has reduced to the level of a comic.
I've been reading for years but see no reason to buy anymore. Oh one last whinge, whilst most people will welcome video tutorials I buy the mag because I can read.
