[Leica] LUG Yearbook 2015 aftermath

[H&ECummer]

Hi Richard,
I have just returned from Hong Kong and your well edited LUG yearbook was waiting for me.
I think you and your wife did a great job at expanding the visual reach of the book and I hope
you will reconsider doing it again. I am off to Calgary shortly and will take the book along
to show the Divine Miss O her first published photo in a book
Thanks again
Howard

Subject: [Leica] LUG Yearbook 2015 aftermath

By now, a number of you have received your LUG Yearbook and some of you are
just buying them right now. Once Blurb book pays me, I will forward the
proceed to the Second Harvest Food Bank

I have received numerous kudos on and off the list. Thank you for your kind
comments. They are appreciated.

Today I have received the first disappointment about the pairing effort.
The person does not like what they see (presumably from the Blurb preview).

If one person sees a problem, chances are there are at least another
person, may be 2-3 more, that are likewise disappointed.

While I understand that "can't please everyone" I consider this as a
failure in this experiment.

Therefore I will not be handling the 2016 LUG Book.

I do recommend that future volunteer should use InDesign as it is a far
more flexible tool but of course it will be up to the personYear.

All the best
