Title: The Back Cover of my new Journal
Post by: boomer2 on October 23, 2009, 09:14:14 AM
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.

The Back cover.

AGAIN I GET THIS MESSAGE.  

QuoteSorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM.

HARD TO POST WHEN I HAVE TO DO THIS OVER AND OVER AND IT WON'T LET ME COMPLETE A THREAD.  DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.

SORRY, I AM TOO OLD AT 69 TO HANDLE THIS.

PROBABLY WILL POST ELSEWHERE.

GOODBYE

hi boomer - this is excellent news - any of those amazing people offering you blurb material  will be great.
as for reaching limit of image posting -

do you have a flickr.com account or photobucket?
if so, you can post to your own online account and then offer us the link.

Boomer, just PM me if you have an issue. I can't fix issues if I don't know about them.

I have changed the quota to twice what it was before but we will run out again if we do not use some discretion on what we upload. Anything entheogen or plant/mushroom related is fine though.

As Judih said, you do always have the option to upload to your own site and then using the link, you can then embed the image in this and other forums. This might even be easier for you since you post at multiple forums, then you would only need to upload a photo once and use the link at multiple forums.

Like this - (//http://www.mushroomjohn.org/randh/banphangkaa4.jpg)

This pic is located ON YOUR SITE not on Spiritplants... I just linked to it using the URL here - http://www.mushroomjohn.org/randh/banphangkaa4.jpg (http://www.mushroomjohn.org/randh/banphangkaa4.jpg)
and surrounded it with the IMG tags. Like this - [img]http://www.mushroomjohn.org/randh/banphangkaa4.jpg[ /img]

Thanks!

Thanks Kemp, Unfortunately many of the other sites I visit do not allow a link from another site claiming it uses up their bandwidth.  A lot of times I post new shroom data or articles and many times though I do not add that to my site even though I have over 14,800 photos on my site.

have a happy holiday and also to all the members of Spirit Plants.

 I posted a url for my journal in the Library forum.  Right now there are only 4 copies left of the complete journal but I offer PDF file reprints
