If the writing in the TSSC's I've seen is any indication they couldn't have
selected a better person to head up this project.
However, the trick to making this go in the US is to find a local house
to print it (under license, of course). John, you are a wonderful guy,
generous
to a fault, great fun to be around and a fountain of knowledge on things
Truimph (and other makes, as well) but I don't think there will be too many
US subscribers who will pay $30 (US) just to cover the postage. I'd be
willing to pay $30 - $40 a year to get this type of publication but that
leaves
nearly nothing to cover printing costs.
At least thats my opinion. Hopefully the others out there will prove me
wrong.

P.S. John, what is the address of the museum. I have something I wish to
send you.
