Mechanical Memories Magazine
Binders Update
Thanks to all of you who have responded to my suggestion of
getting binders produced for our magazines. To date, I have
received pledges to purchase approximately forty binders.
This is still a little short of my original target of fifty, which
will be required as a minimum order. However, if fifty were
produced they would fly off the shelf immediately giving no
leeway for others to purchase binders at a later date when
they realise what they are missing! So with this in mind I
would like to receive pledges for around seventy binders in
order to place on order for one hundred, thus allowing me to
have stock on hand for all. Therefore my plea goes out once
again to all out there who are sitting on the fence. If you
would like binders for your lovely colourful MMMags,
please give me a ring or an e-mail and let me know how
many binders you think you would be willing to purchase.
Come on, make my day, be brave and help double the
pledges to-date. Looking forward to hearing from you.
