You can read electronic versions of the magazine on your desktop, laptop or iPad for the princely sum of $11.50 for one year’s worth, and have an endless source of inspiration. They are accessible through Zinio , a well supported site and iPad app. Forget the poky iPhone’s screen, for it cannot begin to do the work justice.
