Post by: boomer2 on October 23, 2009, 08:44:06 AM
Ethnomycological Journals: Sacred Mushroom Studies Vol. VIII

This is a special limited edition of 250 copies signed by me and contains 1 double-sided 11 X 17 full color cover,  a second slick paged double-sided full page of color

and a full centerfold graphic image in full color with 2 full colored images on the back side.

It is 82 eleven by seventeen pages of text with 38 full colored images and consists of 3 scholarly papers by me and three other authors on two of the three articles.

it has 2 editions and is rather expensive to print.

Copies numbers 1-25 are priced at $50 dollars a copy.  It has all of the above.

copies numbers 26-225 are priced at $35 dollars a copy, it has all of the above, however, the 38 photographs and graphic art are in black and white and you still get the 3 double-sided color pages.

Not counting the Centerfold, here is one of the 11 full colored images I created for this journal.

One of my favorites in the journal.

And here is the back cover, with a blurb by Dr. Stanley Krippner of the Saybrook Institute,  Dr, Krippner has published more than 200 academic scholarly paper, he and Michael Winkleman ate shrooms with Maria Sabina on Oaxaca, Mexico and wrote of their voyage in the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs.  He is an expert on shamanism and conducts such workshops all over the world,  You should google his name and his writings are unbelievable and worth the time to read if you are interested in shamanism.

Here is the back cover with his endorsement for this journal.



I have also asked Paul Krassner to write a blurb as well as David Jay Brown, author of Mavericks of the Mind whom I cite and reference in my article a few questions he asked Terence McKenna in a High Times issue 226.  Paul Krassner also interviewed Mckenna in issue 200 of High Times,  And I had asked my friend of 20 years, Dr. Tjakko Stijve of Nestles, author of 8 papers on Magic shrooms o write a blurb.  Tjakko is not to well, had heart surgery a few years back but is attempting to find the time to write a blurb.

Obviously, the page really has only room for one blurb so I hope one of them is able to get me one in time.

On Monday I will have the covers printed for the first 25 copies.  The money from their sale will hopefully pay for the other 225 copies.  The cost, as noted is expensive as hell. The printing of the 82 pages of text have to be done on two machines, one for the color pages and one for the text.  each cost a bit and the color pages are 49 cents each plus the cost of 20 cents a page for printing.

Then I take the 82 pages, and pasted them onto 11 X 17 paper.  then that also has to be done on two machines, one for the color only and one for the text pages that have no color.  That is expensive because the collating has to be done by hand.  So each issue costs about $15 dollars or more to produce.

Think about this.  3 full colored double sided pages, one is cover stock, cost more so the printing for those 3 is $8.00 alone.

Well it is not allowing me to post the back cover it says in bright little red letters

QuoteSorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

What does that mean, and why can't I post the image in a reply?
