Good to hear this.
With the colours, Nick Lowry (probably with Mary) came up with this, when the magazine was launched in June-July 1992:
June-July: Red. Sacred Heart and Precious Blood, which the months of June and July are respectively dedicated; August-September: Dark Blue. Assumption and Nativity of Our Lady. October-November: Gold (Yellow-Orange). Autumn leaves. December-January: Purple. Advent. February-March: Green. Spring. Feasts of Ss Brigid and Patrick. April-May: Light Blue. May being month of Mary.
At some point, the sequence was broken so the magazine runs January-February and so on.
November-December was pink for Gaudete in Advent (clue to the change from purple - purple is a Protestant colour in Germany) January-February was yellow to see if the colour could work. (Last year it was green) March-April will be green (St Patrick) - it was light blue last year; May-June, light blue for the Marian month (last year it was red); July-August red for the Precious Blood (last year it was dark blue); September-October, dark blue for a host of Marian feasts in those months (Nativity of Our Lady, Holy Name of Mary, Seven Sorrows, Holy Rosary and more) - last year it was orange (gold); So November-December back to rose/pink and probably orange-yellow for January-February (gold suggests Christmas, Epiphany etc).
But anyone out there have observations?

I picked up a copy yesterday in the city centre, top shelf and over a dozen copies there. A lot more books by Pope Emeritus on display. If anyone is interested that was where I picked up A Bitter Trial, the new edition.

It would be interesting if that exposure leads to more sales or interest. Have you noticed any spikes in traffic to your website?

They were on the bottom shelf when I picked up a couple on Monday Contents: editorials - Peadar Laighleis on the emerging secularist-technocrat elite mentality, and on Pope Francis on the renewal of religious life. The editor discusses the Sacred Heart Church in Roscommon town and asks for prayers for various friends of the review who have suffered ill-health and other misfortunes. David Manly outlines the profound betrayal involved in the rush to abortion legislation. Niall Brady compares the progressing exclusion of faith from the public sphere in the West to the nazi Gleichschaltung (i.e. extinction of all sources of authority not under their control). Cliona Johnson concludes her reminiscences of the short life of her son John Paul and reflects on its meaning. Nick Lowry recalls encounters with the late Archbishop Joseph Cassidy and with Garret Fitzgerald. Joe McCarroll offers a Pro-Life Proclamation based on the 1916 proclamation Part II of Hibernicus on Fr Edward Leen and his biographer Fr David Jones discusses how new and old ministries can be deployed to advance renewal in the Church Paul Fournier describes a priest's memories of evangelisation in a remote area of Canada, including an account of an eucharistic miracle. Hurling Shots from the Ditch discusses the Labour Party's ongoing debacle, FF's fence-sitting, and Herod Endipas's Catholic pretensions. Stramentarius recalls the early 1980s and a certain Mayo TD proclaiming how wicked it was to say that elements of Fine Gael wished to introduce abortion, together with other comments and reflections

Thanks for the summary, Hibernicus. What do readers think?
