Editorial
Hello again, and here we are with issue 39. A little later than intended, but what's new?
I've been battling to get this finished, and prepare the auction catalogue at the same
time, which has probably taken longer than doing one at a time. Anyway, some of you
will receive this magazine before others. If you haven't yet ordered a catalogue (and
why not), you will receive the magazine first. If you have ordered a catalogue, I'll post
the magazine together with the catalogue a couple of days later, when the catalogues are
back from the printers. If you are a vendor, then you'll get the magazine first, and the
catalogue when I've had a chance to print the sticky lot numbers. I hope all that makes
sense! In short, if you speak to another subscriber who has received his magazine, and
you have not, the reason is probably somewhere in the gobbledegook above!
Now, I mentioned the yellow subscription renewal forms last month, since when a
subscriber has emailed me to say he was sure his subscription was due last month, but
had not had a form included with his October magazine. This brings me to a point I
should have made some time ago. You'll remember there was no magazine back in July,
and because of this, I have extended everyone's subscription period by one month. This
was only intended as a temporary measure, as I had intended to produce a 'Special' 2009
issue later in the year. However, as we're rapidly running out of '2009' it looks like it
might not happen, so I guess everyone's subscription will be permanently extended by
one month.
And finally, I also mentioned back issues last month. I'm hoping that all the reprints will
be ready in time for the auction, and aim to be able to put together a dozen or so full sets
of each year (volumes 1, 2 and 3). If all goes to plan, they will be on sale at the auction,
but please get in quick-when they're gone, that's it! I will not be reprinting again.
Well that's about it for now. If you haven't yet ordered your auction catalogue, do it
now! You really won't want to miss this one - our biggest event yet.
See you on the 29 th
All the best
Jerry
