Yes, many thanks to all who have contributed and worked on BrickJournal since
before day one.
The group subscription sounds great. What a neat offering.
My question -- is there the possibility for more than one printing run of any
edition of BrickJournal? I am just wondering how long each volume will be
available. Should people stock up now in case there is never another print
run in the future?
|
There’s always a possibility, but it will take a bit before another printing run
is done. If there is enough immediate demand, it can happen. With the quantity
ordered by the newsstand distributor, I suspect that there will be a small
number (1 or 2) at each bookstore.
Should people stock up with multiple copies? I’m not so sure about that. Should
you get your personal copy? By all means:-).
For those in the New England area, there is another distributor that has ordered
for smaller newsstands, so you guys are in a better position to get an issue.

As far as printed version of the back issues -- I’m slightly confused by the
edition-volume labels. It sure would be easier if they were just numbered
001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 101, 102, etc. (publishers tech-speak is
hard for us dumb people to understand).
But I take the statement to mean all previous digital versions will
eventually be printed, correct ?? Will the back issues be a single-copy
printed or multiple issue per binding?? Not that it matters, just want to
know what to plan for.

You got it. The back issues will be available in compilations. The first one
(which I am working on now) has issues 1-3. compilations were decided on because
they can be placed in bookstores, where the books have a much longer shelf life
than a quarterly.
Renumbering made sense because of the media change, and the new exposure
BrickJournal now will have - if the issue had kept previous numbering, there
would have been questions about the previous issues. I probably will not refer
to volumes after this issue is released.
