Editorially
Another Lobster at last. If they appear less and less frequently, they are getting bigger and bigger. (And this one could have been 36 pages if we could have afforded to print it. A lot of interesting copy, including long and interesting letters from MK in Brighton and Bob Turner in the Tyneside area, had to get chopped.)
The price increase is partly to pay for the increase in size and partly just because at 75p we were losing money. A financially realistic figure would be near £2 but we still live in hope that we will one day get a larger readership.
The only other thing worth mentioning is the change in type-faces in this issue. No 9 was typed on a large expensive word processor. That, alas, was ripped off. This one was done on an electronic typewriter — not as good but just about adequate.
We have put up the subscription charges proportionally by reducing the number of issues per sub.
Lobster dangles from a very thin shoelace and if there is anyone out there with loads of money — we’ll take some of it.
