The Last Straw journal was first published in 1993 and is celebrating it's 15th anniversary in 2008. The journal has always been the source of technical and general information. The publication is primarily a reader-written account of the history of strawbale, and of the development, research and testing, innovations and experiences of those who have been and are now involved in its revival as a natural building material and method.<BR>
<BR>
Your contribution of $15.00 or any multiple of 15 to help support the journal and its continuation as the ongoing account of strawbale and natural building in today's world would be a welcome expression of appreciation of support for its future and for those who have contributed to the content and production of this international publication over the past 15 years.<BR>

P.S. Health problems of the Managing Editor/Publisher in the past year and having to find a new printing company at the same time caused delays in the publishing schedule. A new printing company is now on board and the Managing Editor/Publisher is back on full schedule, so every effort is being made to resume the publishing schedule as soon as possible. TLS#59 will be sent to the printer soon and #60, #61, #62 and #63 are in various stages of production.<BR>
