Living on the west coast, we'll be the last to receive ours, but its well worth the wait. I took the first one into my quilt guild and ladies were 'oohing and aaawing' the pages as they went through it. Can't wait to receive the second one....I would never call it a magazine, even though MSQC does. It's definitely a book, and worth at least 3-4 times what I pay for it.
