Robb Report May 2008
I am in my fourth year of subscribing to the Robb Report, and some things about this May 2008 issue makes it my favorite so far. First there is the quality of the cover, which pictures the 2009 Bentley Mega-Coupe: the Brooklands.
The cover is at once slick and thick. Open it up and the magazine simply smells good, like a serial publication is supposed to smell. The same is true, maybe even more so, for the bundled Robb Report Collection. The smell reminds me of when I bought Corel Draw near its beginning; the book that shows the clip-art smelled like that, it smelled like I was getting value in return for what I paid. The quality of the photography, even the advertisements; the pleasure of the typography, the gloss of the pages, and the smell of the magazine - these make the Robb Report worth receiving, somehow more this month than before.
