"Our goal is to make a magazine of the highest quality possible, while still keeping the price at a reasonable level," said David Vogel, editor of Peace Mania Magazine. "Readers wanted color printing, so now we're in full color."
Vogel also noted that because of the raised price due to color printing, the magazine would be switching from bimonthly publications to quarterly.
