[at-l] 2004 Companion on-line

[johno at monmouth.com (John O)]

A year or so ago somebody figured their cost (paper & toner) for printing 
copy of Companion from ALDHA website at around $9 to $10, now figure in at 
least 2-3 hours for cutting & trimming all these copies. Once your finished 
you now have 188 pages neatly trimmed and ready to be put into zip-loc 
bags. 188 is the number of pages that covers Georgia through Maine.
Now if you bought a copy from ATC it'll cost $9.55 plus $4.00 S&H. You'll 
have 94 double sided pages covering Georgia through Maine. So rip the pages 
from your Companion and place them in zip-loc bags. Figure 5 to 10 minutes 
to either call ATC or buy Companion on-line. Once your Companion arrives I 
would estimate it'll take 30 minutes to tear sections you want and then 
store them in zip-loc bags.
Now a portion of my $9.55 is used to help maintain the AT. So for me its 
well worth the time & effort to order my Companion through ATC.

Happy Trails!
