THE RISE OF THE US$ AND HIGH FREIGHT COST

DEAR FRIENDS
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SUPPORTED  ME AND COMICS WORLD ALL THESE YEARS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US SINCE AUGUST 1987. IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I NOW HAVE TO ANNOUNCE A PRICE INCREASE WITH EFFECT FROM MARCH 2015 DUE TO THE RISING US $ AND THE HIGH COST OF FREIGHT WHICH I HAVE ABSORBED ALL THESE YEARS INCLUDING ABSORBING  THE 7%  GST.  THE CURRENT PRICE WAS SET  IN 1990 AND HAVE NOT CHANGED SINCE THEN AT A RATE OF 1.8 AGAINST THE US$. WITH EFFECT FROM MARCH WE ARE RAISING  THIS TO 1.9 WHICH EFFECTIVELY MEANS THAT YOUR COMICS WILL NOW COST 30 CENTS MORE PER COPY.. IF YOU HAVE ANY VIEWS ON THIS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS WITH US AND OFFER ANY BETTER SUGGESTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO KEEP US AFLOAT.    REGARDS,  BILL
