Learning the trade

Another thing happened yesterday.

My good friend Mike Bossingham suggested using Biddles printing firm for producing my books. I sent them an email and by the end of the day I had an email from one of their people asking for detailed information about the sort of printing I wanted. I'd better get learning.

This is what they wanted to know:

What size are the booklets?
How many pages are in them?
What sort of binding are you looking for i.e. saddle stitched (stapled)or slotted?
What quantities are you looking to produce?
Do they just have black text throughout?

The thought struck me: I'd better learn this trade quickly.
