I (Fred Olson, sysop of Cohousing-L) also urge you to subscribe and 
promote subscriptions to Cohomag.
I admit that I have been a bit concerned by it's high cost per 
issue --it took me a while to first subscribe because of this.  
(I'm known by some as Frugal Fred).  

However :
1) we need this resource which has to work financially
2) more subs may eventually bring the cost per issue down --
    e.g. by becoming more frequent some day (note this is not
    a promise, or even prediction -- just a Fred's hope.)
3)  if you read someone else's issue of Cohomag, and dont plan to 
    subscribe (after considering it!) maybe you could send a 
    contribution (ala shareware).

Berkeley, CA 94702; 510-526-6124.  $25.00 per year; sample issues $5.00.  
Bulk rates available for groups and resale; please inquire.  
The journal provides news and information about the development process 
as well as life in CoHousing communities.  Four-page regional inserts 
report on the activities of groups around the United States and Canada.

Lindemann (cohomag [at] aol.com).


Note to the confused (like me): This publication is variously refered to
as "Cohousing" "Cohousing Magazine" "Cohousing Journal" and by me
somewhat tongue in cheek as "Cohousing-P" (P for paper).  It's all
the same publication...
