Now Available! 2009 VHS Newsletter Year Book
Some of you may not have noticed or paid much attention to the fact that there is a link at the beginning of every newsletter you receive which allows you to download and/or printout a much more sophisticated version of the same material contained herein. Or perhaps you did try it once or twice and meant to print them all out, but got side tracked thinking that you’d pick it up later. The next thing you know it’s next month, the new newsletter is on your desk, and you’ve forgotten even having the thought of taking the time to print out the other version. But now you suddenly wish you had that website mentioned in September that you thought you should visit or you need to contact a person who seemed to have an answer for you, or someone suddenly mentions Victor Herbert’s The Gold Bug and you know you read about it - now where was that? Which month?
Beginning today, you find the brand new 2009 VHS Newsletter Year Book available in Shop VHSource. We have compiled all of the sophisticated published newsletters into one e-book which is searchable and book marked for you.
Looking for that organization you read about in California who did Mlle Modiste, simply type in “California” into the search window and you’ll be taken to every mention of California in 58 pages. Decide you want to contact the guy in Canada who has his own salon orchestra? Type in “salon orchestra” and you’ll not only find him but also the link to his website which as long as you are using the book on your computer and connected to the Internet, you mouse will take you directly to him. All links continue to work within the book. Herbert’s The Fortune Teller comes up in a conversation, and you remember reading about in a newsletter but which one? Adobe Reader has this little icon of a book with a ribbon located on the left side of your screen – actually the symbol for book marks. Open that icon and you find The Fortune Teller already listed there along with every Spotlight On . . . operetta discussed in 2009. Click on The Fortune Teller and you’re there - no hunting - no rummaging through your e-mail or desk if you printed out your newsletters to find the right one.
This is a truly amazing little book that you’ll refer to again and again and want to collect as the years roll by. The cost is $12.00 for 2009 and as always it is on your computer ready for use in less than 30 minutes. Pick one up to today under E-Books in Shop VHSource and have it on your computer in less than 30 minutes.
Of course your monthly newsletter remains free and we’ll keep archived copies on the website for each year through December 31st before they find their way into the year book at which time they’ll disappear from the site. And for those of you who are new to VHSource, you can always pick up what you’ve missed.
