Unlike the first magazine issue, this round we ran into the problem of having a bit too much content, so a few articles and content pieces were held back.
But! Like last time we can move them to the next issue as a starter (see the Adding a License article, that was submitted for the first magazine but didn’t make it in).
I really hope this won’t deter you from contributing more great content in the future.
Mine just arrived here’s a side-by-side comparison with the first magazine. The binding on the first one has the paper folded and stapled in the center, whereas the second one is stacked and glued to the cover (offers a sturdier binding). The paper from the first magazine feels a little heavier than standard printer paper, whereas the second one feels like a higher grade card stock (adding to the overall sturdiness).
Overall the quality, ease of shipping (at least to the Americas), and on-demand printing is a definite win for MagCloud. For reference I ordered my copy on Wednesday July 29th, it shipped Friday July 31st, and arrived today Monday August 3rd (really fast IMO).
