(...) Hi Joe, I know that when you switch from fan-made stuff to "serious" stuff you got to make hard choices (especially for money troubles), but not having a distribution in Europe is a major issue.

(...) I reread the specifics for the first print issue: (URL) it certainly seems to indicate that the .pdf version will still be available for $3.95. Which is even cheaper that what you thought would be fair. :) At least, that's the way I'm reading (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal)

(...) This is not the only problem. Think a second about this: how many Europeans would still write articles for a US Magazine which is hard/expensive to get in Europe?

(...) I don't understand what you are saying. It is neither hard nor expensive to pay $3.95 (that is what, 2.78 Euros at today's rate?) to get the pdf version. That is what you have been getting all along. He had to start charging something for the (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal)
