My only regret is that it’s just a PDF -- I can’t comfortably read this, nor
can I leave it lying around for my wife to pick up and flip through. (No,
there’s no hope of her browsing the PDF.) Where can I buy a printed copy?

This is my question too - altho slightly different. When will subscriptions be
available? How much will they be? How can I sign up?
Awesome stuff Joe and team - Bravo! This is something the community could
really use and I’m impressed that you guys have gone and done it. Bravo!

Agreed! I want something to carry around and read whenever.
Excellent work, team! What I imagined when a little birdie told me it was in
the works and much more. Yippie hurray!
You should work on the picture quality, though. You need to get higher-res
pictures in many cases.

Throw in another me too on publishing it in hard copy. I like how it is not just
USA centered either.
Great job!!!

Thanks - I’ve made comments about publishing on other posts, so I’ll just go
straight to the next comment :-)
One of the goals that I want to meet with BrickJournal is to make everyone
aware of the extent of the AFOL community. The community is not just the USA,
it’s much more! And in future issues (yes, issues!) we’ll have reports from
Europe and Japan!
Thanks again!

I suspect during PDF export they were crunched to save file space. For those of
us hosting mirrors this is a good thing! :)
I’m sure the print version is much clearer.

Calum is indeed correct. We built the magazine using professional printing
software (Adobe InDesign) at a full 300dpi for 8.5 x 11. Needless to say, that
download is over 100 Mb.
As for all the other comments here, thank you so much. We are very excited about
this as well. And believe me when I say all of the suggestions above have been
brought up before. We decided to work on the magazine itself though and get a
good finished product. Please keep the feedback coming.

Awesome stuff!
One suggestion, coming from someone who works in a copy center. I think this
would be better if it were formatted for 8-1/2x11 paper instead of 11x17 paper.
This would make printing out a copy a lot easier.

Lenny,
The staff of BrickJournal is reviewing options for printing and subscriptions.
Right now, we are in the researching stage (to be honest, I wasn’t expecting to
address this so soon), so I can’t give you a good answer. Once we determine our
plan of action, I’ll announce here and on LEGOFan.
Thanks for the
compliments!
Later,
Joe,
