"Congratulations, well done! You really did a lot of effort to finish this mag. The print quality is extraordinary."

Daniel Knop of the world-class Koralle magazine
 

WOW!!! AWESOME!!! By far the BEST PUBLICATION I've seen in my 30 years in this industry!

Dennis Reynolds of the famous Aqua Marines
 

“Absolutely arresting photography!”
 

“Wow! I took it with me to my child's hour-and-a-half rock climbing class figuring that I'd get through easily. No way. I'm about halfway, because the content strikes a very nice balance of readability and imparting information.”
 

“It’s a keeper and going on the bookshelf.”
 

“I received my copy today… all I can say is WOW! The article layout and photos are very impressive... what I like best is that the magazine is like a cross between national geographic, FMA and Sierra club all rolled into one high quality journal.”
 

“I received my copy this weekend and it is IMPRESSIVE. The paper is fantastic, the feel unique and inviting… as soon as I saw it in my mail I realized that this is not merely a ‘magazine’ that will get thrown away after being read, but will travel from the desk, to the coffee table, to the book shelf.”
 

”I received the Journal today… it is amazing! I was expecting something really good but this really exceeds my expectations. It is so different!!! Congratulations! My education is in Printing, [I] worked in that industry for 10 years and [C the Journal is] a top quality masterpiece when it comes to nice photos and high quality printing.”
 

“… the imagery great and the quality of the printing and writing is awesome. This publication could become the perfect marine coffee table mag that stays around after the next issues arrive… spectacular high quality artistic shots. Perfect!”
 

“An outstanding job! What a work must that be!”
 

"Wow, this isn't a magazine to toss after you read it. This is coffee table material!"
 

"I received "C" today and into my reading right now...but I wanted to add my congrats on the magazine before I even finish reading it. I was really taken with your article of Sri Lanka but will defer my comments on others until I can digest it fully. Imagery and text is superb... it's a fantastic magazine and I wish you great success with it."
 

"It is so over-the-top great that you now have a very hard act to follow. You really left my wife and I speechless. The quality of the pictures have no equal. I wish you the very best."
 

Well, well, when somebody like Anthony Calfo puts his name on something, especially aquarium literature, you know it is going to be world class. After tearing open the package, I was dumbstruck to see what greeted me. A beautiful 'National Geographic'isque' publication but with more of a gloss and premium feel. At a whopping 100 pages, square back bound, this new magazine oozed potential.

At the first mandatory flick through and browse, I was amazed at the lack of advertising. All to often we have to comb publications for their content as advertisers dominate the pages. However, in C Journal, is a different. This time round, you have to look for the adverts, a great step forward.

Now C Journal is not a marine aquarium magazine, it is journal of 'Aquatic Science, Travel and Adventure'. And on the 100 glossy pages, it becomes evident that this magazine, sorry journal, offers anybody interested in the ocean something unique.

The photographs throughout are excellent (even the advertisers adverts are of the highest quality), the layout is slick, clean and allows for an enjoyably smooth read. With articles covering everything from photography through to some 'quirky' columns on food, the C Journal will appeal to at least one part of your brain.

Now I'm not going to go into detail about every article in the magazine as that would just ruin the surprises for you. I would suggest getting yourself a copy (make that a subscription!) and enjoy something new and unique that will educate you about all things ocean orientated, and hopefully inspire you to look at things a little differently.

I'm looking forward to issue 2, I can guarantee you that it will be worth the wait.
