Aquascaping World Magazine is in production again. Its been a year or so since the last issue but we've been hard at work getting it back up and with more input we will be releasing a new issue every 2 months.

It is free and online. You can download it as a pdf file or just view it online :

Hope you like it:

This is a pretty chunky pdf, Andy...
 
Thats why I read it online :lol:

If I do view anything in .pdf I use Foxit not Adobe. Its free and loads quickly, Much faster. Link below:

No, it loaded ok, just was a big file... 21MB is impressive.
 
You can just click next at the bottom of the page I linked to and it will go from page to page without having to load the magazine format ;)

The size is relative really. 60 pages filled with pictures etc. took some work which is why we stopped doing it for a while.

Takes a fair amount of logistics just to get the articles in on time and then sort them into the magazine format etc.

Next Issue will be a beaut ;)

as good a read as ever, wish there was some hard copy'd floating about.
 
Printers are available in the shops but 60 pages is gonna use some Ink. :rofl:

Can you imagine an ADA mag from currys printer! It'll be like sacrilidge printing this off. Lol

it would be nice to be able to get hold of glossy copy, I don't like Reading ebooks or emags on computers.

im getting my mom to print it off 10 pages every couple of days so it does not look suspicious aha xD

looks like a good read im going to start reading it on my comp first :)

Although the glossy aspect is col it is a pretty savage market these days.

Many people don't buy magazines or newspapers anymore and instead view them online.

Its a shame but thats why the 'printed medium' is dying. The percentage of people that 'won't pay' for the paper version these days means that it is very impractical to try and enter this market. I am in that group. I've never understood why people pay £3+ for a magazine they can see on the internet. May sound like pennies but the pennies all add up.

You need to guarantee thousands of sales to make it anywhere near profitable :(

I'll investigate if there is a possibility of small runs for pre-orders only though if there is enough interest. Won't be small change though. Will be up in the £3+ category.
