SUMMARY: Good ol' Tower Press. We have here the usual cheerful hodge podge of reprinted projects from out-of-copyright periodicals and books, profiles of people in the industry or even just home grown popularity, and a handful of serial contributors with their own columns. I groan at the number of proofreading errors(or laugh, depending on the error), and know full well people do the same running across my gaffs because I also don't have anyone manning that post except for me, who made the errors in the first place. I have no idea what Tower Press' excuse for this was. Despite this admittedly minor issue, I adore their magazines - all of them. This one is no exception. If nothing grabs you in one issue, just wait for the next one.



HOW TO MAKE THIS MAGAZINE CATALOG SEARCHABLE:
METHOD ONE(downside is it takes some effort and time):
1. Open a blank page in your favorite word processing program.
2. Right click and "SELECT ALL"
3. Right click and "COPY"
4. "PASTE" or CTRL"V" what you copied into the blank page(it could take a while depending on the size of the page)
5. Use the search function as you normally would. Try to stick to only one word, since authors will sometimes use their middle initial, then not, change names, etc.
6. Trash the blank page when you're done.

METHOD TWO(downside is you have to wade through a lot of HTML code to read the entries):
1. Right click and "VIEW SOURCE". This will bring up a second window that will give you a behind-the-stage look at my coding along with the entries. There is a search function on source pages. Use it as you would the search function for a word processor(see METHOD 1). Close the Source page when you're done.

Anyone with more information about this publication, or has issues to donate or sell, can contact me through My Contact Page.
