ACF Bulletin August 2010...New format ????

[Jay H]

Greetings All...
I received my ACFB today.....the text only covers half the page, and is printed sideways.
Is this a new format (??), or a flub from the printers.
Text is very small....kinda tough to read......

Regards

Jay H

Hello Jay,

All the best,

Hey Mac..
Hope all has been well with you and yours.....
I have Earl Hangen's also, and I can see inside that his is "defective" just like mine.....the text on everypage only covers half the page ...
I also see on the cover that it states there is a complete ECB for sale...but cannot find an ad for it inside...(??)
I'll contact Alan......

Regards,

I was on the phone with Al Darrow and he said his copy was defective also, but my ACFB #346 was fine. Yes the front cover (books and complete ECB) was detailed on page 14 but left off the hard copy, only on electronic pdf file; however, the 5 solutions to Guest Beginners' Page by Gerry Lopez are printed in hard copy under diagrams but omitted on pdf (but appear on backcover).

Is this the same Gerry Lopez that does the surfboarding?

I Know you are kidding http://www.gerrylopezsurfboards.com/ Our Gerry is the promoter of the Las Vegas Nationals and we are just as proud of him, he probably does surf since he can to so many other things beside play checkers.

Apparently, the "new format" was with pages printed sideways, and lots of blank space. Not sure how that happened. My copy was good except that the interior pages were from an old file with the same filename, which confused someone at the print shop.

Thanks for letting us know when the wheels fall off. As editor, I want to hear about things like that. Seems to be rare. Here are the ads (sorry to repeat what JR did above, but this may be slightly clearer):
