Bill Valavanis Magazine?

Post by toohey »

Hi,
When Bill Valavalis was in Australia I subscribed to his magazine. They looked really great. My question is: If anyone else did, have you received your magazines yet? I did email Bill and he said he posted them out in October?
Regards,
Michael Toohey

I did not subscribe but I have had things sent to me from the states and it can take 21 days or so to get them.

I ordered, and haven't received them yet, I'm sure it just takes a bit of time.

The reason I stopped subscribing was it took 3 months to get them. As they were surface mail.

Hi All, I am still awaiting some books also( thanks for reminding me to chase them up). Bill was in Japan recently for ASPAC
I do not think it matters if the magazines take three months as all relevant information for years to come
Please note his surname is Valavanis

I got mine this week.
What a great magazine. I just signed up for another year.
If I was more of an entreprenaur I would approach Bill to produce the same mag with Australian ads and changed seasons. Wouldn't be too hard to tweak I imagine (Maybe financially it woukldn't be worth it)
I just worry that our new Aussie magazine might not see it into a second year of production.

When you pay for airmail you should get airmail, not surface or surface airlifted. Yes they are still relavent as I do re read my old copies.
