"When it comes to quality in the magazine process, possibly no other magazine can match the work of publisher Efstratios Teriade (born in Greece as Efstratios Eleftheriades) and his seminal publication, 'Verve' -- once called 'the most beautiful magazine in the world' by one of its backers - which first burst onto the streets of Paris in December of 1937." (Gagliano, Rick "Magazine of the Week" in Downtown Magazine, 10/12/2006]
VERVE was "the magazine to look for" ... "noble format, luxurious presentation... flair for the grand gesture" (John Russell, "Flair for the Grand Gesture: Celebrating a Magazine." The New York Times, 10/9/1988, page H35).
