It's been a busy week here at Drop Target Zine headquarters! Thanks to a link from the PAPA blog and a mention in Jim Schelberg's PinGame Journal email blast, we have been sending out a lot of zines to new readers. Thanks to both of these great pinball organizations and welcome to our new readers!
One question we have been getting a lot is, "Do you guys offer subscriptions?" I thought I'd just answer that here on the blog so that everyone will know our current and future plans for Drop Target.
As of right now, Jon and I have plans to make seven issues of Drop Target. For each issue, we will do a first printing of about 400 copies, which have the screen printed covers and full color center spreads, which fold out - these will cost $5.00 each. After those 400 copies are gone, we will make a second printing of each issue, with plain black and white covers and center spreads - these will only be $4.00 each. Then, once all seven issues are out, we are going to make a print-on-demand collection of all seven issues, using Lulu.com (like I have done with my Phase 7 collections) which will have a full color cover, a perfect-bound spine and black and white interiors.
Because we only have seven issues planned, we are not going to offer subscriptions. We will post on this site when new issues are available, and we also send out complementary copies to key members of the pinball community, with the hope that they will help us spread the word. Hopefully everyone who is interested in the zine will have plenty of time to get a first edition copy of each zine.
Okay, I hope that clears everything up. Feel free to leave a comment or shoot us an email if you have more questions! And thanks again for checking out our zine. We are already working on issue #3, which we hope will be out by the end of the summer!
