just received it ...

... and it's a winner. Greatly enjoyed the articles on Zelda Fitzgerald, King Kong, The Fedora, Janet Klein, and the two cocktails which I shall make posthaste (I need maraschino cherry liqueur, which I ran out of after some Aviations or Aviators or whatever those are called).

Am utilizing the "jass" article to fill out the holes in my jazz collection. Very nice.

Thank you!

In hand...

...and loving it!

I just did a quick scan and I can't wait to delve into it more. The step-by-step finger wave instructions look interesting. The Madame Yevonde images are worth the price alone! The "On the Town" section is so fun. Thanks for sending it out so quickly.

btw Please let your advertisers know that listing in Zelda is a great resource for the reader. I'm a newbie and this was a great way to discover products and services I might not have known about.

Thanks, everyone! I'm so glad you're enjoying Zelda's premiere issue! :) I'm already coming up with ideas for issue 2 (which will be out at the end of April 2010)!

And Skidoo- I will definitely tell our advertisers what you said...thats wonderful! If you patronize our sponsors, we'd love it if you mention that you found them in Zelda! ;)

The heavy, high-gloss paper is a wonderful touch too, and will increase the chances of this being a collector's item.

Wow- I hadn't thought of it as becoming a collector's item! But thanks!!!

I did want to make sure that we used high quality paper...that was a priority. :)

It's impossible to know which things we do in life will be examined years later and appreciated by collectors ... and this is one reason why I try to do things well. I'm pleased that Issue 1 was so nice.

Thanks for the heads-up on this new periodical. Yes, this is done very well. Methinks it's the kind of thing you'll see on eBay 5 years from now...back issues going for $100 a pop. Congrats to all involved!

Cheers,
GC

I just received issues one and two today! Impressed with the quick delivery, format, quality, and content. Well worth the money.

Was stoked to find an advertisement for Nostalgic Corner in Issue 1. I recently purchased a mannequin head for my girlfriend and we were both exceptionally pleased with our, oops, her vintage style roaring 20s deco dame.
