That's great...BUT.

If printers do not subscribe to it will fail again.
If advertisers don't advertise in it, it will fail again.
If editorially it does not change the things that caused it to fail in the first place, then it will fail again.

best, gordo

Oh, wow. I hadn’t realized that American Printer was done; I feel so behind the times. That aside, I don’t feel it’s a sign of the demise of printing. CDs came and triumphed over records and then MP3s came after that, yet I still know a lot of my friends that have record players and buy records. Books, magazines, etc. will simply go like the records.

Well, you are still behind the times a bit. They were saved by another company. I think they print a quarterly edition and the web site still is working but at a lower rate.
