[Leica] LUG 2006 Yearbook--and Four Simple Rules for the 2007Edition

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Jim, we Aussie LUG contributors are still waiting impatiently for delivery. 
The more so, paying a Prince's ransom for UPS (not your
fault!) and reading all of the complimentary feedback from others.
Now having been one of the few to submit my own visage along with the 
photos, I have more time to get a makeover for a new shot for
2007.
Regarding your history within direct mailing, on behalf of all of the six 
million letter box owners, Thanks for nuthin' ;-)

Cheers
Hoppy

Many, many thanks for the cascade of wonderful comments about the book.  I'm
really thrilled that this effort touched a chord among LUG members.  

To those who marveled at my layout abilities, much appreciated--and once
again let me assure you that the blurb.com templates were extremely simple
to use.  The only issue was juggling the images and captions; however, after
a fifteen year career in direct mail, balancing a staff that produced six
million catalogs a year, in eighteen variations, along with about 100
magazine ads at any given time, this project was almost a picnic.  

So first, I expect several of you to follow my suggestion in the forward:
let a thousand photo books bloom.  I hope this project convinces LUGgers to
create their own books.  For one, I'd be more than thrilled to purchase a
Doug Herr wildlife book, or a GeeBee Northhamptonshire book, or an H. Arche
book, or...the list is almost endless.  Certainly there's no lack of talent.


And yes, since there's been so much enthusiastic comment (and since the
production cost is zip) I'll be happy to create a 2007 edition.
