Well, looks like the fun is over!Just noticed that the February 2022 issue has no visible spine for including art work.
I just thought it was the flagpole in the picture.

look out!!!
Ad sales usually trend up at this time of year, it's related to the riding "season."
Maybe next month the magazine will be thick enough to be perfect-bound again.
I always liked the spine idea, Michael Cohen came up with it.

Page count was the same, has been the same for several years now at 96. Not sure what advertising has to do with spine art, but I can ask the people in the know.
Don't think there's any advertising associated with it. Here's the explanation that was provided in 2013 as to the appearance of the images on the spine:

Thanks Kurt. By the way, you being a former NASA guy, I assume you would be interested to know that my last two students were NASA Astronauts, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman.

I do… that, and someone needs to teach them how to land on the moon without wrecking that thing.

This is us flying inverted… or the forums sucks at uploading iPhone photos… I’ll let you be the judge.

If one can remember to take an iPhone picture in the landscape- camera lens in line with the photographers left shoulder, it helps when the picture uploads to the forum.

Most likely then, the reason for center-stitching is to pull out the center spread that shows a picture of the raffle bike. You can't do that very well with a perfect-bound magazine.

It's the thickness of the publication... more ads & editorial = thicker. Or... heavier-weight paper. Perfect binding requires a sufficiently thick publication. Too thin and the binding won't work. Pinch your thumb and forefinger on the left edge of a perfect-bound issue (e.g. last month's) and you will feel how it compresses. Our magazine is about as thin as you can go with perfect binding. Look how thick it was in 2014.
If the page count is the same, and the paper thickness is, too, then the reason for center-stitching is most likely to have a center spread that can be removed as a poster or keepsake.
But, you can't print an image on the binding edge of a center-stitched magazine.

Can you put the Feb issue in there for spacing?
Looking a little like a 90's R1200 cruiser so far.Similar threads
