So it’s official, this magazine is bigger and better than ever before, and to make it continue please keep sending in your articles and supporting our advertisers, and this will enable us to contine in our efforts to give you something worth reading. We always look forward to your contributions.
If you go to www.phoneboxmag.co.uk you can see the most recent copy of the magazine in a viewable file, we also have a few archieved versions there as well for you to dig around in.
