Jeff,

The hard cover INAV books at lulu.com are not cheap. It would cost around $200 to get the 6 volumes.

I am very interested in old INAV issues. I have electronic copies that I look at often and find them to be an invaluable resource. But $200 is expensive.

Would it be possible to publish these in paper back and reduce the cost?

We have also discussed making the 21 issues on the website free for everyone, in the hopes of just getting the info out there. It's just a matter of having time to do it, and I'm out of the picture now (not that Jeff didn't do most of the technical wizardry - because he most certainly did).

I was pretty much relieved of my editing duties because we were only getting out one issue a year, (and last year none), which is fair enough. I recently took down the paypal link after I transferred all INAV funds to Van. Good news is we managed the cash well (partially due no doubt to only getting one, sometime two issues out a year) so there is more than $5k in the account.

If you don't like the reduced size of INAV - write an article and send it in to Van or Jeff.

No one gets a cent for their time, the website is on server space donated by Hood, and the last time I made a call for volunteers – March 7, 2010, Van was the only one to respond. Let me repeat that. The last time I called for volunteers, on this mailing list (do a search for "volunteer"), Van was the only one who stepped up.
