From The Lowcountry

By Jack Melton · Originally published April 2018 · p. 2

You may have noticed that this April Civil War News issue looks a little different than the paper you have been receiving over the past several months. We have decided to return back to the original newsprint in response to several complaints regarding reader dissatisfaction about the way the paper was not folded neatly or received torn, in some cases. We have repeatedly brought these items to the attention of our printer and have come to the conclusion that the problems are mostly in part due the heavy weight of the papers making it harder for the folding machines to process them properly. At Historical Publications LLC, we care about what our readers say. We are very proud of the Civil War News and want to make sure that each monthly issue of our newspaper reflects the dedication that goes into producing it from the quality of the content to the layout and design to the end result that arrives in your mailbox. We hope that the change will resolve the folding problems. We will continue to strive for excellence and we thank you for your ongoing support.

On another note, please take a moment to view our Calendar of Events section starting on page 41. As the weather begins to warm up, there are plenty of outdoor activities and events for the Civil War enthusiast to attend. For those in areas of the country that are still feeling the nip of winter, you can cozy up at any number of entertaining indoor events. See you there! Finally, we send out renewal reminders about two months prior to the expiration date of your subscription and then again one month out. Once your subscription lapses, you will not receive another reminder, so please take a minute to send your renewals back in promptly. We don’t want you to miss an issue. Also, don’t forget to call or email us with any change of address.
