The CAN Executive wished to edit the original June-July edition to add an item but unfortunately the Editor (me) was overseas. It was decided to go ahead and produce a version anyway. However the production method meant the issue was not up to the normal standard. Also a number of articles and pictures got lost.
As this was my last issue I was obviously disappointed at the result, especially after the many hours put into the original - it is not a fitting “swan song.” I have therefore decided to produce a Special Edition which contains the whole of the original version, plus some extras including the article whose addition was the reason for the re-edit.
Of course it is up to you whether you get this version, but it is much better (it’s not just vanity at the typography). I didn’t manage to get the “Perry” bicycle - spotted in Firenze - into the issue, but then maybe that would have been a bit too indulgent! ;-) However there is a retrospective, more articles, more pictures - and all in the usual ChainLinks style with high quality graphics. It’s 60 pages compared to the re-edit’s 44.
So to see it in all it’s glory email <chainlinks AT zoot DOT net DOT nz> to request a copy be sent to you by email, or download directly below.
There are two versions available:
No A4 printer quality version is available for download, if you’d like a 2-up printer-ready A4 version email and one will be sent out (1.6Mb PDF). No printed version is planned.
I have enjoyed editing ChainLinks and parting is sad. However times change and it is time to move on, maybe one day I’ll be back...
Yours,
Nigel Perry, former Editor, ChainLinks, <chainlinks AT zoot DOT net DOT nz>
