Re: [Aroid-l] Colour Pictures in Aroideana

From: Riley2362 at aol.com on 2011.11.27 at 19:28:17 I have worked with two similar publications, Gesneriads for The Gesneriad Society and The Quarterly journal for the North American Rock Garden Society.  Both are printed quarterly at Allen Press in Kansas, in full color and for a larger audience than IAS but on a limited scope and tight budget.  Allen has full press capabilities including international distribution.  They also print several academic journals and extremely professional in every respect..

But when you only have 500 or less members $70.000 for 1000 copies is not a such a good price.  I'm sure it's hard to find a publisher that will work with a small organization to put out a good journal at a decent price. I don't know how many members are in the IAS right now, I was just guessing at 500.

As George said, Hosta cost $70,000 or $35 each- thats for 2000 copies, I guess.  I know there aren't that many members in the IAS.

We still discuss about "sex of the angels" IAS publish only one time a year, all the other society usually with the same fee give 4 to 12 publication in full color every year.
