Hi Rita!
Yes the 1st issue is in both in Virgin Megastores and Antoine Library. The second Issue is due in September.
Mabrouk to the team! An impressive, well-designed magazine with interesting content. Ok, I’m a bit biased since I have an article in the first edition, but regardless of that, I think there’s a very good selection of articles and photos.
By the way, I just zapped out a brief description and link to the magazine on Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, Digg, and reddit.
thank Scott, your contribution is very valuable, to the article and to the promotion of the magazine. You are a great friend to our team and to Lebanon as a whole. Sincerely!
Congratulations and all the best in your endeavor! Is this magazine going to be available in the United States? I would love to subscribe to it. I wish I were in Lebanon to celebrate with you!
