Dear Nancy Bray:
I read your comment about the project to bound this book. I want to know the requirements for the book. I am mexican bookbinder and editor of the blog Artes del Libro. Thank you
Dear Rodrigo, thanks for your interest. Here are a few further details in response to your query. If you let me know your email address I would be delighted to send you a copy of the current planned layout for the book.
Best wishes, Nancy
_ Each binder will be provided with one copy of the book. Unfortunately, we will not be in a position to provide spare copies.
_ Each book has 48 pages, printed four pages to view, in eight page sections, on 160gm hand made paper. The page size is 250mmx350mm (portrait).
_ The book will be available at the end of June 2009 and bindings need to be completed by end August 2009.
_ Oak Tree Fine Press is only able to cover the cost of very basic materials and even that budget is very limited.
_ All profits from the sales of the books will go to organisations offering care and support to children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS.
