Cooperation wanted

For those who regret that the contents of this magazine are in German language only I would like to point out that I am strongly interested in a cooperation with a native English collector, publisher or distributor to establish an English edition of PHOTO Deal magazine. As there is nothing comparable available in English language except club magazines to which only the respective members have access I see quite a promising demand for such a venture.

A possible partner could either be an ambitious collector who is interested to build up a (new) existence or an editor or publisher of another photography magazine or publishing company. The entire contents are available digitally including the photographs which could be exchanged on a CD-ROM, the layout is done with a Power Mac in Quark XPress. With regard to the huge number of international collectors may they live in the UK, the USA, Australia, Asia or whereever English is spoken or at least understood I am convinced that this magazine has an enormous potential which would make an interesting business for the cooperating partner regarding the sale of subscriptions as well as commercial ads.

Any serious suggestions are appreciated. Please contact me by phone (0049-2137-77676) or by eMail. Thank you.
