Free new on-line C&S Journal

Post by Graham_Charles »

The Cactus Explorers Club now has a free downloadable journal available to everyone. Issue No.1 is available at
http://www.cactusexplorers.org.uk/journal1.htm

It is about 10Mbyte so will take some time to download. You don't have to be a member and participation is encouraged. Relevant advertisements can be placed free. Send me a list of your spare plants, literature etc.

I hope that Forum regulars will enjoy this new journal format which is surely the medium of the future. I also hope that it will receive an international readership. Please let me know what you think!

Have you thought about trying to get a link at http://cactuspro.com/biblio/doku.php ? I know the download-only Schütziana has a shadow link there.

There is now an excellent Free on line Journal called the Cactus Explorer. Graham Charles is the editor and Roy Mottram is the scientific advisor. If its free and its good is it not the way Cactus world should go? Todays technology should be used.

Actually, the 10mb size wasn't an issue. I was able to download it to my phone without the use of WiFi in just under 2 minutes.

I liked the journal and look forward to future publications.

BTW I accept the concept of a free journal may cause apoplexy :lol: !
