If people are honest; the magazine was poor. Its easy to criticise; but its also easy to proof-read and the production values of the first two editions that I have were less than impressive. The statndard of journalism was lower in many of the articles. As someone else has said earlier in the thread (months ago!); much of the editorial appears to have been paid for, and therefore of little integrity/worth. It was a nice idea and I do feel sorry for the publisher who seems to have been very unlucky commercially; but the finished product was far from polished (they seem to have benefited from from far more good-will than they could have expected too).

Yes - but then the magazine improved immensely in the next 5. A loss it was.

Simon I agree, Starting off any new Buisness is all about the innital funding with some left over to cover "problems" which probably contributed to the "unlucky commercially" The delays killed it

Far more Good-Will... Probably but we all hoped it would grow and develope. it would have been to every Scooby owners Benifit.

IMHO
