Mar. 1978 — From Letters in Vol. #11 of Latitude 38: "I think your publication is very fine. I hope you can go to slick paper soon and show how you can outdo the other magazines." — N.D., Castro Valley
Publisher Richard Spindler responded: Sometimes we daydream and fantacize [sic] printing Latitude 38 as a slick, but I doubt it will happen. Slick paper increases the costs phenominally [sic], we have to charge more for ads losing lots of good small local businesses who couldn't get their products across, and we'd have to charge for the magazine which we don't really like to do. Besides, we're not trying to outdo anyone, we're just trying to give northern California sailing the coverage it deserves.
