    Greetings and Good Morning Karen,
    To date I have been totally unsuccessfull in uploading photos to site. Cannot post,paste etc my pic on my page and cannot upload files containing NG material.
    May I ask for instructions.Specifically how did you do that? Seems I may not be the only 1.Most likely a result of my lack of IT knowledge. :)
    Respectfully,
    Andy Johnson

    Hi Karen,

    you mention that you like wolves and dogs...so you must have particularly enjoyed the "From Wolf to Woof" article of January 2002? My family and I are huge dog lovers. Do you have the "Book of Dogs" also"?

    Yes -- have a large poster-like picture in my office from that article "From Wolf to Woof" as well as one from a wolf story NGS did in the 1980s of an Arctic wolf. Also have the "Book of Dogs."

    I just found this group. I like it! I have an extensive collection of National Geographic magazines, books and epheremia, including an original, unbound copy of Vol. 1, No. 1 from 1888. It literally have boxes of the stuff including 8mm flims, vinyl records, school bulletins from the 50-60s. I even started a website for NG collectors about 10 years ago that was shut down by the NG legal department :)

    I am currently on a trip around the world so I can't collect at the moment, but I will be sure to return.

    Hi Karen,

    Have you ever seen a misprinted cover like this one? I put it on the discussion corner, but thought I would ask you as well.

    Thanks for the info,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Karen forwarded your message to me. I will take a look at our archives file and see if there is any information about a misprint.

    Best wishes,

    Cathy Hunter

    Hi Chris,

    I checked the old project file this morning and it appears there were quite a few issues with trying to get that cover to look right. In your case, it looks like a misregister, which is where the hologram image was not positioned precisely in front of the striker plate. A decision was made to reduce the trim size in order to bring down the estimated percentage of misregisters, but it still may have been around 10%.
