The Necronomicon 2008 Program book has a print run of about 900 copies. We set the limit at 800 members and also give books to the staff, guests, and dealers. If you are interested in advertising in the program book, then here is what you need to know.
Price
There are four prices depending on what and where.
$90 Full Page
$50 Half Page
$125 Inside front
$125 Inside back cover.
$150 Outside back cover
(Obviously, there are only two inside covers and one outside back cover.)
When the cover pages are sold, it will be noted here.
Size
Our program book is made up of a standard piece of paper in landscape position, folded in half. Thus, a full page is 5 ½ by 8 1/2. As the figure to the right shows, you will need to leave a Ό margin around your ad. So the actual printed material of your add should not exceed 8 by 5. The half page add should not exceed 5 by 4.
Format
Our program book is assembled in Pagemaker. Using this we can accept electronic submissions in the form of .pdf, .jpg, .gif, and .tif files as standard. Check with us if you are using
some other format. If you are not going to send it electronically, then send a camera ready copy to the address below.
Deadline
The sooner the better. We will be working on the program book soon. Absolute, final, deadline will be September 15th, 2007. If you agree to placing an ad, well start bugging you to get it to us as the deadline gets closer.

Tips and Hints
If you are creating your ad in some electronic form here are a couple of suggestions.
Set your colors to grayscale. This is better to work with than RGB or CMYK, as it will only come out in gray after it is printed.
Start with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Dont go overboard with this setting, as the higher it is, the larger the file it creates.
Photographic images will not reproduce too well in the printing process. Work with clip art, or high contrast images. Test print it in the 8x5 size on a laser printer. If it looks good there, it will probably look good in the program book.
File format of .PDF is prefered, but I can convert it from .GIF, .JPG and .TIF if need be. Contact us first before you send it in any other format. If you are sending it in a .TIF file, use a Zip program to compress it before transmission. They're huge and it just works better that way.
