I really enjoy reading BrickJournal, Joe. I, too, would like to commend you and
all the contributors for your quality work. The presentation is superb and the
diversity and depth of the articles have helped build my sense of what's going
on in the LEGO world.
Be well,
Jim

This may be the best issue yet. The articles around the Cafe Corner are
fantastic.
But it still makes me long for a real, honest-to-goodness print magazine. I know
it is probably not realistic but if I could have it any way I want, it would be
a monthly (or maybe 10 issues per year) full-colour glossy magazine but perhaps
1/3 - 1/2 the number of pages currently published. Id rather get less pages
more often.
Any word on going physical?

I agree, I would love to have the BrickJournal in print.

Ill answer your comments individually:
Until recently, the magazine printing schedule was governed by the speed that
the layouts could be done - and that meant that it came down to me because I was
the primary layout artist. Quarterly publication was set because of my real life
and its demands.
Those demands have changed, and more importantly, people are stepping forward to
help with layout - that opens the game up considerably for me. I have heard
more than a few comments about the size and scheduling of the Journal, and now I
will be able to get things started to a) keep a schedule and then b) improve the
schedule.
Another priority is the BrickJournal website - I am in initial planning stages
for that, as I want something that takes advantage of the web medium, and I want
to see multimedia, which isnt very easy to find with the community, it appears.
And its funny that you mentioned having it any way you want...Im going to be
talking to a web group about something like that:-)
As for going physical, I will be working on getting help from TLG, but its
going to be a major challenge - the only way to get an issue of Brickjournal a
a reasonable price to sell that is financially viable is to print a large
quantity - and that brings in more costs...
So I can say that I am working on it, but I cant give a schedule - mainly
because I spent the past three months getting things aligned for most, if not
all the things you are asking for.
