NEW Ameraucana Handbook

[John W Blehm]

With the reorganization of the Ameraucana Alliance it is time for an updated Ameraucana Handbook. Don Cable published the original Ameraucana Bantam Handbook in 1982.  I’ve published updated ABC Handbooks in 1998, 2005 and 2014.  With this edition I plan to print 300 or more booklets.  They will include our club constitution/bylaws, history, photos and numerous articles along with other information about Ameraucana chickens and the Alliance.
Each member will receive one and they will be available to purchase on our website.
Please consider advertising in the Ameraucana Handbook.  With enough paid, poultry related, ads the cost of publishing will be covered. 

The prices are:
Full page ad, 4 ½” x 7 3/4”
$170 Black & White
$250 Color
plus you receive 2 complimentary Handbooks! Please send ad information and payment to me by April 1st.

½ page ad, 4 ½” x 3 7/8”

plus you receive a complimentary Handbook!

So John will this basically be a republishing of the old version?  or a total redo?

Each of the series of Handbooks has been a redo.   This one will also be different and fresh. 

[John W Blehm]

Some articles and much of the generic information will be reprinted, as we have in the past.  I think the 2014 edition was the best to date.  As, Mike, mentioned though there will be some different and fresh material.

Great to hear.  Thanks.

Sorry due to some pressing issues with my Mother I have not been on much and have just noticed this. When is the deadline for ads and do we have to draw them up ourselves.

April fools day!
No, I just need to know the info you want in your ad and if you have a logo or artwork you want included please email it as a high resolution file, like jpeg, EPS, PDF, etc.  For print media 300dpi is pretty much standard.

John, just a heads up.  I'll want a 1/4 ad.  Need to see if I can get some decent color pics to use.  If not, I'll go B&W.  Thinking maybe either at the show or after on the 19th.

Hi John, 

I'll be taking a colour ad.  not sure of the size yet.

Brownie.

[Mike Gilbert]

I will take a 1/4 color page ad for $75.  When do you need the funds by?    I think I owe for a couple of patches yet too. 

[John W Blehm]

Please send ad information and payment to me by April 1st.
Without pulling out the papers, I believe you are paid on the patches.

[Mike Gilbert]

Or maybe it was the pin-on logo name tag I owe for?  I think that was it.  Let me know the amount again and I will get off one check for the whole shebang.

$10 for the name badge and $2 for the ad.

Last call for ads in the Handbook.  I can wait a couple weeks for payment, but if you want an ad I would like your commitment by Friday, April 1st.  A 1/4 page color ad is just $75.  So far all ads are in color and I would like to continue with that format.  I can layout your ad with the information you supply and you'll have an opportunity to proof your ad as usual.
As an added value we’ll include your logo (or name) with a link to your site, on our Home page, for one year.
