The cover price of Pacific Islands Monthly is increased from this issue. Please see the cover page for full details. We regret the necessity for a price increase but should point out that it is the first increase in over two years at a time of high inflation. Our labor, materials and distribution costs have all greatly increased during that time. Most of these increased costs have been contained during a period when the magazine has been spending more on quality journalism in a bid to enlarge and improve our coverage of the region. This effort will continue.
