As with all publications from Lela Presse, the quality is very good, many photographs and plenty of illustrations are provided. While this is a French language publication, a person not understanding French can learn a lot just from the photos and illustrations. Looking at the text, one can get an idea of what is being written.
I would encourage you to go to their website LELA
Presse and peruse their many publications, as well as this magazine.
