[AGA-sc] TAG 2005

[Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@wilstream.com>]

Hi Y'all:

As I mentioned more or less in passing at Ghazanfar's house, James Elliot 
of Eagle Press warned me that the price of printing TAG was going to go up 
in the coming year. It's not that bad, really; only about $200 more per issue.

Here's an official quote per 1000 copies:

$2500.00 insides
$400.00 cover

He also suggested that we think about converting TAG to a "regular" 
magazine size. He says we can sell more advertising space more efficiently, 
add pages more conveniently, and that he doesn't think postage would be 
that much more. I'm not sure about that last one, but I can look in to it 
if we are truly interested.

I am interested in exploring the cost, unless someone comes up with a 
downside. My reasons:

1. I have lately felt constrained in layout. Many of these tank shots would 
be better if hey could be bigger.

2. Karen ALWAYS gives me too much stuff. :-) Gosh, I haven't devoted an 
entire page to the AGA logo in just AGES!

3. Tomoko says she MIGHT have a deal with Amano's Aquajournal to publish in 
English. I think that we could lose a customer base if we're not careful.
