Year after year, the U.S. Center’s “Unreached Peoples of the World” poster—known to many simply as the “pie chart”—has served as one of the most popular and influential tools we produce. Unfortunately, until recently many other pressures have prevented us from revising or reprinting the poster, and supplies of the 1985 version have rapidly dwindled.

Now, thanks largely to the initiative and perseverance of artist Orlen Stauffer (also a Perspectives Study Program coordinator in the Virginia Beach area), we are happy to announce the appearance of the 1990 Unreached Peoples Poster—the boldest, brightest version yet!

We think you’ll want lots of copies not only for yourself but also for your friends. That’s why we’ve knocked the price down from $5.95 retail for one copy (already a bargain) to the discount price of $2.95 for two copies and $1.00 per additional copy with your order. Such a deal! (We’re asking you to buy at least two copies so that you’ll strategically share at least one.)

If you want 25 or more copies, we ask that you buy sets of 25. You’ll pay $23 for each set of 25 (92¢ per poster), plus $4 shipping per set (UPS) if you live in the U.S. or actual shipping costs if you live elsewhere. Order your copies by using the form on page 19, and then let us know what you think!
