Summer Photoworld – our final quarterly
The Summer edition of Photoworld magazine is now available on-line in two forms – through our YUDU subscription, and through the Photoclubalpha website membership subscription. This will be our last quarterly, as over the last few years the website had taken over as a more practical vehicle for news and comment.
In place of the quarterly, our printed edition subscribers will receive in summer 2012 the first ALPHA ANNUAL, with 100+ pages and superior production quality. It will showcase good and innovative work and provide a summary of developments in the Alpha system, along with other features, just as MINOLTA MIRROR once did for Minolta owners.
To read (subscrition required) the on-line YUDU page turn version:
I just had a quick read of ‘the final issue’, and sadly it’s still a good read!
It appears that over the past year, things have changed somewhat in the Sony camp regarding new product releases and I especially find the looming arrival of the a77 to be significant in many ways.
I suggest that you may have more than enough material for your first ALPHA ANNUAL and further that it may require a hard cover? 😉
Are you going to offer a digital version of your annual for those of us who reside in the colonies?
All the best for your launch of the first ALPHA ANNUAL!
Regards Steve
The Alpha Annual is intended to be a softback similar to Minolta Mirror though I’m unsure whether we can run to that kind of quality. It will also be presented as a digital edition, and beyond this it should be purchasable in hardback form through Lulu, Vistaprint or Blurb. We will choose what digital-print options are offered but they will certainly include premium paper and hardback editions.
I’m considering the option of making a substantial ‘back issue collection’ book as well from the 2006-2011.
