Re: Colour Pictures in Aroideana

I have worked with two similar publications, Gesneriads for The Gesneriad Society and The Quarterly journal for the North American Rock Garden Society.  Both are printed quarterly at Allen Press in Kansas, in full color and for a larger audience than IAS but on a limited scope and tight budget.  Allen has full press capabilities including international distribution.  They also print several academic journals and extremely professional in every respect..

Well, the point I was trying to make is that publishers give you a better cost per copy if you are printing A LOT. 

$70,000 for 6,000 copies is a good price.

But when you only have 500 or less members $70.000 for 1000 copies is not a such a good price.  I'm sure it's hard to find a publisher that will work with a small organization to put out a good journal at a decent price.

I don't know how many members are in the IAS right now, I was just guessing at 500.

But, if there are not 2,000 members, we would not need 2,000 copies.

I think the main difference is those other societies have a large amount of members, unlike the IAS.

As George said, Hosta cost $70,000 or $35 each- thats for 2000 copies, I guess.  I know there aren't that many members in the IAS.

Jason all the Orchids, bulbs, Cactus and Succulents publication have colors pictures.

We still discuss about "sex of the angels" IAS publish only one time a year, all the other society usually with the same fee give 4 to 12 publication in full color every year.
