Hi All,

I had to pay $25.39 incl. shipping and taxes so i find the $37 Sergey has to pay really absurd. I am pretty sure my copy came from the Czech Republic as well which is closer to Sergey's home than mine.
It is sad that Michael's great magazine might not reach it's full sale potential in Europe due to the very high shipping rates.
I gladly payed the $25 but i can understand some people can or will not pay almost two times the cost of the magazine for shipping.

I would like to thank Michael and his contributors for the awesome magazine they created . I am looking forward to the next issue. I can not imagine it being better than this one but i am sure it will be.

Hi all,

The problem as I see it is that Blurb are not just a distributor but
the printer too so it's not just a question of switching companies.
Blurb use different printing and distribution bases according to the
buyers location so not all copies are sent from the US. Copies Sent to
the UK seem to have been sent from the Czech Republic so not sure why
the shipping is so high for you Sergey? The shipping is certainly high
but that is out of Michael's control. All I can say is that the
magazine itself is more than worth the cost given the quality of the
product but it is a shame the shipping cost is putting some people
off.

I am more than happy to get multiple copies ordered and then bring to
Ensisheim for anyone who wants to wait rather than pay shipping. Just
let me know :-)

Just want to give a shout out to Michael Johnson who has put his heart
and soul and many many hours into this project and the end result is
truly excellent. I for one will do everything I can to help and
support him so that this grows and becomes a great resource to the
entire meteorite community. I am sure that Michael would welcome any
help from others too, be that submitting articles and photos, offers
of helping to distribute copies of the magazine or just general
support and encouragement. The magazine is for us all and we need to
support it any way we can. Well done Michael, you've done a great job!
:-)

Cheers

Martin
