I have successfully converted the last eight issues to Adobe Acrobat (pdf) files -- it's the earlier ones that are the problem, as they were created in now-obsolete software, and I must reassemble each issue and then fight the temperament of Postscript conversion more than I have had to with the later issues.

So rather than ask you and others to wait until it's all done, I've decided to make the journal available now in several ways:

PRINT COPIES
OF THE ENTIRE 18 ISSUES:
For US and Canadian delivery via first class mail, the price for the 18 issues is just as it was before, $60.00 postage paid, and overseas via air mail remains at $85.00. These are black & white copies, but all content is legible and usable.

CD COPY
OF AE 3.3 to 5.2 (EIGHT ISSUES):
$20.00 postage paid anywhere, and we'll give you a $10.00 credit towards the complete disk when it's ready, price and date unknown at this time. Each issue contains all the color of the original, plus a few pictures not previously published in color. The disk contains a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader in case you don't have one.

Since this is a publication of the American Kitefliers Association, we can take Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover cards as well as US check or money order. If you want to do it quickest, email me your credit card number, but split it into two separate messages without reference in either message to the process (and be sure not to enclose a copy of this message). Be sure to include your expiry date, which option you wish to purchase, and your mailing address.

You may also send your credit card and mailing address via fax to me at (831) 647-8483.

Mail US checks or money orders payable to "AMERICAN KITEFLIERS ASSOCIATION" to me at Post Office Box 34, Pacific Grove, CA 93950-0034.
