"Received [Carbon Nation] and am impressed !! Extremely professional job, Sir Simon ! Taking my time reading all the little details - Most excellent! Looking forward to future issues (fingers crossed!)... The next pint's on me!" - Geoff Kieffer

     "Excellent job! I know this will keep the same quality throughout." - Jan Earhart

     "Congratulations! Your first issue of Carbon Nation is a wonderful surprise, worth every penny. I really like the format and the lay-out - lots of great articles. Hope it is gonna be the succes it deserves to be. And if anyone hasn't ordered it yet - don't hesitate and do yourself a favour." - Albert Toby

     "Okay, I received my issue of Carbon Nation the other day and must comment on it's EXCELLENCE. Simon has done an amazing job putting this fanzine together. It is beautifully designed, superbly laid out, and professionally written. Usually when I get a magazine I flip through the pages and just to briefly check out what's worth reading first, and if there's anything that looks like a waste of time; however, upon getting Carbon Nation I had no desire to check out everything immediately and instead I have slowly been reading and absorbing each page and with every new page, there would be a new surprise. I have No idea what's coming next, and it's like watching a good movie. I'm a slow reader, so I'm still making my way through the stories and interviews and I'm hoping it doesn't end; but, no matter how slow I read, I guess I'll eventually get to the back cover. These have been the best in depth interviews I've read. The talks with Steve and Wes were GREAT... and very informative. Simon has a way of interviewing where it doesn't seem like he's reading his questions from a file card; but just going with the moment and talking to a friend.

     "So, I'll stop typing now and get back to the mag... and if you haven't purchased a copy of this and don't plan on getting it and the future issues...well then, YOU'RE NOT A REAL FAN!!!" - David Schroeder

     "Simon, I got my copy - it's wonderful! Great interviews - it's always good to read an interview where you actually learn something instead of regurgitating old information. I look forward to future issues - I can only hope they're as good :)" - Serge

     "I received the first issue of the Carbon Nation magazine today, and I must say it is much thicker than I expected it to be. And much more interesting too.... GREAT interview with SW, great fan stories...

     "Anyone who still hasn't ordered his/her copy, do it immediately, cause many interesting things are revealed, and I guess Simon could use the money (the whole mag doesn't look cheap at all) cause he's done a great job for a very small price!" - Joost van Ginkel
