On my birthday in August every year I get an interesting one-page printout from my insurance agent. It shows the prices of items on my birth year (1948) compared to average prices for the current year. Many items are compared with price increases from a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, a CokaCola, on up to a pickup truck and the average home cost from then to now. Yes, it’s an eye-opener and a head-shaker, but certainly not a big surprise. Especially since I get the update every year and our buying habits keeps us aware of rising costs. Inflation is a fact of life and it affects everything we use and consume. We all see and know what has happened because of inflation over the years, but the last few years have been earth-shaking. We have only had three price increases during our 33 years of producing the most informative taxidermy magazine in the world.

Increases in postal costs, printing (mainly paper costs), and production/office costs are the main reasons for this increase. The only other options were going to a lesser weight and quality of paper and reducing the page count of Breakthrough. The beauty, quality, and usefulness of our publication means too much to us and our subscribers to do that. Consider this a subscription for two years at the new price of $78.00, 8 issues equals to only $9.75 per issue. Where else can you buy the super reference, how-to articles, paint schedules, competition news and photo coverage, remarkable motivation, and supply sources all in one place for under $10.00!
