For the early haters of the new Coin World format, have you reconsidered your views?

When I first received the new Coin World format, I was outraged. I did not like the setup of the issues and I thought the "newspaper" looked too cramped and messy. Well, I still think things look a little too small and wedged onto the pages. As for the overall look, I am ever so slightly coming around to thinking that it is marginally acceptable. Of course, the weekly editorials continue to be useless.

For the early haters of the new CW format, have you reconsidered your views after looking at the new paper for several issues now?

    I still stop at the bookstore to read it every few weeks. I'm still left with that feeling of 'that was it? why do I bother'....
  • This in not awnsering your question but I liked it from the start.
    they probably think I didn't though because I did not renew my subscription,seems to be the same old, same old every week.

    I'm getting used to it.

    I get tired of you kow towing to Coin World all the time! ...Oh, wait--that comment is for another thread image

    More seriously, I've liked the format since the start. I like the smaller pages--they are, as someone noted in a past thread--easier to read in bed before dropping off to sleep. Plus the newspaper seems more "magazineish," which I like.

    Now that CRO posts their witty CW ads online, I cannot think of any reason to keep getting it, no matter what the format.

    I have not had the pleasure of seeing the new format for CW.

    I just get the issues I want from the local Book store. jws

    I didn't hate it, just disliked it. I dislike it less than I did.

    The only comment on the format change is this: No more ink all over my hands after reading!!!
