It is perfect, helping everybody who feels confusing seeing the different stamps, locations, overpinted versions, French - Dutch - Deutsch - Portuguese - English scripts... Congratulations.

Would have to think about it. ;-)<br /><br />An e-book would be another way to go, especially for interesting posts. I don't think it would work for me though.

Digital content seems to have relatively short lifespan if compared to print. <br /><br />I can say that I've been playing with possibility of producing some selected bits of my blog as DIY (photo)books. But the prices are quite staggering - a book with 100 pages on quality paper would cost nearly $100 to produce. That is way too much IMHO - especially if considering possibility for resale. Possibly I'll need to explore printers outside Finland for cheaper prices. <br /> <br />As for publicity on mainstream stamp press... Dead water for me too (though I know several editors/magazines follow my blog, and are very likely aware of Jim and Bob too). Maybe they're expecting to receive a press release or invitation of some sorts :lol: <br />Keijohttp://www.stampcollectingblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-28142053025732452492012-08-17T22:13:00.381-07:002012-08-17T22:13:00.381-07:00Thanks for the nice comments Drew- you can join th...Thanks for the nice comments Drew- you can join the club! <br />;-)<br /><br />I'm not expecting to go away from the Internet sphere anytime soon.<br /><br />But, for reference, You might want to copy and paste the blog posts into your own file folder.<br /><br />So far, I haven't heard from Linn's. ;-) Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-63352631505289284392012-08-17T21:46:05.808-07:002012-08-17T21:46:05.808-07:00At least four way since I read all three of you gu...At least four way since I read all three of you guys pretty regularly. All great stuff and the new face of stamp collecting, as well. Big Blue is first rate (as are 'Filling Spaces' and Keijo's 'Stamp Collecting Blog". <br /><br />I love Jim' country-by-country descriptions, the maps, stamp images, and the guidance which saves me a lot of research and appreciate all the work that goes into it. I 'm hoping there's some way to save it all (CD?) even if it costs some money -- to make sure I have it for reference. Worth considering as blogs do disappear. It's useful, interesting, and important. <br /><br />Has the mainstream stamp press (does such a thing still exist?) ever covered these three blogs, I wonder?
