Alright. I’ve rec’d a couple test copies of HM at one of these print-on-demand places. I’ve been working with lulu.com for awhile now and like what they do. Here is a link to buy an all-color version<\/a> for $15.99 plus postage. It’s pricey and I wish I could find a place to print these cheaper, but this is as low as I could get. I am offering a black & white version for only $6, but the experiment revealed a page-alignment problem that needs to be fixed, so I’ll have that up soon.<\/p>\n

Alright. Now I’m back. It’s nice to hold a copy of HM Magazine in my hands again. Here is a video of me flipping through both the color and b&w versions:<\/p>\n

Why are the inside covers blank? The way this place publishes a “book” (a printer’s term for magazines, too) is a color cover wraps around the “guts” or interior pages (like a paperback book). This color one is really nice, but it’s expensive. It’s $16 (plus postage) for an all-color version, which is 52 pages (including the covers). Some of you folks will get this one and appreciate the color printing and the design of the magazine.<\/p>\n

Most people, however, will probably go for the black & white version, because they’re closer to the price you’d normally pay for a magazine. These have a nice color cover, a spine (called “perfect bound”) with a label on it, and an extra 30+ pages of content. For this special edition I added a bunch of live concert photography and also all the major features (and album reviews) from Heaven’s Metal Fanzine issue #89. This is a nice way to combine the two publications. This one sells for only $6.<\/p>\n
