Dave,
I have been working on this. To date I have a
calender top scanned , but have run into printing
costs that I feel are too costly to bear by myself.
I've contacted the BRHS and suggested this may be a
good project, If a reprint was sold with profits going
to the BRHS what would you consider a fair price? And
do you feel we could sell 500 of these , because its
just as cheap to print 500 as 250. Tim
