SRP should publish a periodical with photos and articles.
Have you gone MAD!?! Magazine acquisition Disorder. It would be neat though, a section on history, one on customs(w/centerfold of course) and interviews with makers/restorers, shave of the month(best of SOTD) and reviews of products. I like the idea, now whos got the money to fund a publication for such a small audience?
Could be quarterly or twice a year even. :shrug:
Its very doubtful that it would even pay for itself. Another board I like did a magazine and it was very well done but went under quickly because advertisers like to spend money in larger markets. I am sure free bird knows what I am talking about.
I thought about this exact same thing the other day. I was at Wal-Mart looking through the rags. You know, they carry quite a few mags focused toward a very small group. As a matter of fact, they had a Civil War Coin Collector mag. Don't get much more niche than that!
LOL! I gave up hiding magazines under the bed when I left home. If this comes to fruition, I better make sure I am the one who turns our mattress from now on. :rofl2:
"Honestly honey, I only buy it for the articles!"

Another option could be to do the mag in PDF format - it would eliminate printing costs and could be distributed via email or available as a download. No advertisers required, no newstand price...
The pdf idea is good. That does eliminate many costs.
