Barrie Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 maybe it has something to do with the stamps They were of Rangitoto Island.... Auckland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdspider Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Got mine, I'm totally fine with the new covers. Especially if it saves money. Hey JarrenB, cute new avatar! Is that Lucky? She looks so good these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thank you all for the kind words. It isn't just the cover that is no longer glossy, it is the whole book. The pages are actually thicker than before as all are 100gsm, not the usual 80gsm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I got mine too! I got a matt version, and its not all that different to the gloss(minus the shine). the gloss was nicer, but seeing as the content hasn't changed, it is still all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandS Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Caryl, I personally got mine today and an pleased to say that two of or new members have received there magazine toady as well.

flatfish Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Another great read Caryl. I think the Matt finish is fine. You could always see if its possible to get a glossy cover but it looks fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Obviously became member too late. Anybody in the howick area able to lend me theirs so i can read the fighter breeding article? =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I don't like the transparency of the paper, you can see what is on the other side of the page, it also makes the images look flat and like they are printed on a cheap inkjet printer that cannot make black properly. I miss the thicker glossy cover Content very good as per usual. The cards have lines through the graphic that is something I suspect to do with the way Microsoft products handle images, but look good - well done Jarren. But I am a fussy old tart and will now proceed to hide from Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I don't like the transparency of the paper, you can see what is on the other side of the page, it also makes the images look flat and like they are printed on a cheap inkjet printer that cannot make black properly. Whew. I am glad I am not the only one who thought that. But I am a bit of a perfectionist... :roll: Hiding with Zev... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Obviously became member too late. Anybody in the howick area able to lend me theirs so i can read the fighter breeding article? =D Josh - I'll email the article to you. It won't have the pics though as I sent them to Caryl separately. PM me your email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Josh - I'll email the article to you. It won't have the pics though as I sent them to Caryl separately. PM me your email address. It's a great article Adrienne It may just tempt me to set up a spare tank for my male fighter who's been blowing bubble nests in the community tank.... The rest of the magazine is cool too - thanks Caryl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Josh did you just sign up with Auckland Fishkeepers? I know they had 3 sign up last meeting and those 3 will get the August magazines as soon as I have all the details. I too don't like the cover for the same reason as Zev and Jennifer but at $1.50 or so less per mag I will put up with it. I can print my own glossy ones anyway :lol: I don't know what lines Zev refers to in the graphic though. The only lines I can see are the wriggly ones that are supposed to be there in the fins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
