To Renew Or Not To Renew?

That is the question… Actually the answer is “not”.
My subscription to JPG magazine is up and I’ve decided not to renew it. The magazine has been my favourite read over the past 12 months, when it arrived that is. Unfortunately, JPG’s service to international subscribers is poor. Of the 6 issues that [...]
