Re: [AGA-mcm] Advertising in TFH and selling a book

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Well this reaises the bigger questions of where is AGA
going, how do we envision it 1, 2 , or 3 years from now,
etc. But we could talk about that stuff all year and never
actually decide anything. So the heck with all that and on
to specifics:

RE TFH book: Until we actually see copies of the book, we
should not commit to purchase any. We'd be buying a pig in
a poke from a farmer that's sold some bad pigs. Get us some
copies and then we can talk. If it's a good book (good for
aquatic gardeners) and we can move them (they are cheap
enough and there's no insistance on the selling price by
TFH) then let's decide based on the what we've seen.

RE ADA Journal: These I've seen. They are on a rack in my
basement. They are in Japanese and unlikely to sell. I
thought and previously suggested that maybe we could add
them as a bonus to other orders but that idea fizzled
before the sweat formed on the glass. So I think the
probability is that they will be in my basement for many
years to come unless we start giving them away to folks
that might appreciate them.

Karen, I can bring a bunch up to NEC and we can use them as
"TakeOne"s to help attract a crowd at our table. You want
any for other events you'll attend this year? Amano meant
for us to give them away anyhow.


RE TAG: Last time we talked about enlarging TAG, we paused
because we didn't know if we could afford to do it. We
didn't know if we were soundly in blank ink or not. But
given the 2004 and year-to-date 2005 results, I can't
imagine it costing more than we can afford. So what's the
next step to get that moving? Can we put in nonbinding
votes on page size versus page count?

I nonbindingly move that we increase the size of TAG by
approximatley 10% as of Issue 18-3. All in favor say,
"Vellum".
