Our print on demand partner, LuLu.com, raised its color printing costs by 5 cents A PAGE! That means that a color print copy of The Hatchet would increase $4 to $5. That is unacceptable, and I don't believe that the price point for this journal can be justified at around $30 per issue.
So we had to change printing partners. The new company does things differently, and the process is quite protracted.
The next issue will be out in a few days, but Online only, until the printing can be completed in a few weeks. The only way to get this next issue, until mid-December that is, will be as an Online download.
The delay in the publishing has produced a truly wonderful side effect: The Hatchet will be unveiling some new and previously unknown material! The wait worked out perfectly as this late-breaking matter only recently came to light!
To those who are not subscribers, but would like to purchase the November issue in its Online form, arrangements will be made for that download at a single issue price of $10. But then, you could always subscribe to the ENTIRE YEAR for only $20 and read all four issues!
So stay tuned . . . . . big things are on the horizon!
