Just found out that Pixel Nation has vanished off the face of the earth - my plan was to use them to publish the mag. Seems unlikely to happen now unless people are willing to pay a high price for it, which is unlikey given the niche nature of the mag.

I work in a printers but even near cost, the price for doing a decent 100 page magazine is stupidly high in the kind of short runs I would want.

I'm trying to think of new ways to approach this. My current idea is to have a 'deluxe' printed binder, then have 'sets' of pages about A5 (Half A4/Letter size) on thick paper that are hole punched. Each new set of pages could be added to the existing one and stored in the binder until it fills to a single volume.

So I could release a pack of, for example, 50 pages at one time, then another 50 later etc. That might lower costs compared to a bigger printed and perfect bound magazine and would be kind of unique. The binder would be optional as they probably won't come cheap (I imagine around £25+P&P).

Does this sound a bit tatty, or fun and unique?

Here's a crude mockup but I think it could work. Perhaps I could offer a budget folder as well as a deluxe version for containing the pages.

I request a holographic version of your fanzines, in a binder.

Thank you.

SERIOUS: Print a mini-version of the magazine (half-size) and readers can supply their own magnifying glass (but we could slap PCE stickers on the magnifying glasses to make them fancier).

I'm not joking about half-size. I'd go quarter-size, but them you really would need a large magnifying lens.

INSPIRATION: I had an ancient reference dictionary that had two volumes + case + drawer w/ magnifying glass (the print was so tiny, the pages so thin, the volumes were over-sized, too).

Having to reformat is all for the third time is a pain, here's how it's looking so far.
