We Have a Deadline...

So a couple of weeks ago we were given a deadline and I have been in the fear zone and the 'do' zone and forgot to write.
10 books by May 14th
10 books by June 5th
Remaining 140 by the publishing date of October 15th 2012.

So the Stew photocopier is acting up enormously, but Ecoprint are helping with some B+W prints.

Binding.....I went to see Peartree, they will bind 10 books if we sew.
Aidan Abernethy will show us how to sew.

Peartree need two weeks to bind.
Deliver books by May 1st.
We need a week to sew. April 23rd.
We need a week to put books together April 16th.

We now are finishing any printing not done in batches of 20.

We have to buy rubber, felt, tracing.

We have to solve the problem of housing the vinyl.

We have 26 days before the books need to be assembled.
