The initial target ought to be those who have already
shown some interest - our curent authors/editors. It also ought to be electronic - I
shudder at the thought of the cost of sending out snailmail requests which will just end
up in the circular file. PayPal may or may not be an option - I don't know. But
let's begin with those already in
the fold before we launch more expensive campaigns outside it. (Alternatively, we could
buy 30 seconds of TV time on the next World Cup. Kidding.)
