If Engineeringtalk was a magazine, it would typically be 300-400 pages long

I don't often discuss in this slot what's in the rest of the newsletter, preferring to leave that to speak for itself. I know that many of you read right through the whole publication, judging from the large number of "clickthroughs" that even the items several screen-scrolls down get!

However, I would like to draw attention to some of the excellent technical background articles we receive each week. They always have their own section, and although they're overwhelmed by the number of "product news" items in the newsletter and on the website, we still publish more of these great backgrounders in a month than any "paper engineering magazine" I know.

In fact, if all the news and articles in Engineeringtalk were published in paper format on a monthly basis, the magazine would typically be 300-400 pages long and have more words that the last Harry Potter book (although I doubt the sales or media interest would be quite the same). Of that, up to 50 pages would be extensive technical background articles.
