First Copies Have Arrived!
At 10:30 this morning a trucker delivered a pallet of Zone 4 issue No. 1. Half of our initial print order was shipped to distributors directly from the printer in Denver. We're sending out the rest, for now. Our mailing list includes subscribers, the media, advertisers, and small retailers. Printing labels, stuffing envelopes, and lugging mail trays to the post office is not exciting work, but we're anxious for your feedback. So please, write, email, telephone, yell, make smoke signals—let us know what you think!

And tell a friend about Zone 4.

Publication Printers did a great job. True color, no mistakes. As we knew they would, having closely checked other publications on their customer list. Thanks also to all the writers, photographers, proof readers, and others who helped. 

Issue No. 2 is well underway. Besides informative and colorful features, Dr. Bob's Q&A, recipes, and much more, we'll announce the winner of our first Backyard Blunders contest. Get your hands on No. 1 for more information.

Stay tuned!

  1. Yay, Dan and Andra! The issue arrived in my mailbox two days ago, and it does look great. Better still, it reads well. What a great beginning!

    I've already had a lovely comment on my story, "A Buzz in the Garden," from Matthew Shepherd at the Xerces Society in Portland. So the word is spreading....
