First Edition is an excellent magazine, but did you see all the spelling mistakes, and words and entire sentences repeated or missed out. It made me feel much better to know that even the professionals get it wrong sometimes and we must all be vigilant with our own editing to prevent such mistakes from getting published and to get it absolutely right. In this case it was the magazine's fault, and it's such a shame for all those writers whose work was published in there.
I did see the spelling mistakes etc and thought that it showed how unprofessionally produced the first edition was. Hopefully the editing will improve with future editions.
