I may have a slightly different take on the Review.
WE LOVE IT!!!    Whoever is driving when we pick up the mail grabs it when we 
get
home because the other one has been looking at it!  <G>
We have never been consistant advertisers in the Review,  but I sure wish we 
could.
The colored pages are gorgeous and Gail does a beautiful job....which is part 
of the
problem for us!!     Who wants to stick in a black and white Ad now when the
colored Ads are "eye candy" that attract your eye?     But who can afford to
constantly run an Ad in color.
