Hey Robert!

I wanted to send you some good news! The final numbers came in for your cover last year. Your cover was our 2nd bestseller all year! Right behind our first ever women’s issue (which we did promote quite a bit!) So your cover was very well received! Congratulations!! This is great news!!
