[Leica] LUG Yearbook sales

[Douglas Barry]

And if the norm of unattended, file shepherded, or inaccesible emails in our 
age groups is higher, then 841 subscribers might be a bit optimistic, but 
it's still a lot of people, and you'd think that a higher number of them 
than 72 would submit images.

However, there has been a drop off in image viewings over the recent past. I 
see even Jim Shulman's numbers are down to a third of what they used to be a 
few years ago.

If, like myself, many here have not ventured to digital Leicas because of 
reliability issues, and the main take up of new Leicas is in non English 
speaking countries like Russia, China, etc., then there has to be shrinkage 
in LUG posts, images submitted to the LUG galleries, and views of same.

I certainly wouldn't be advocating marketing the yearbook for the reasons 
outlined by FF, but would have anticipated more buying of the book among the 
72.
