This message is from: "Ursula Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to all for your input for The Record Book. All info is helpful and being considered even though I don't always have the time to respond. We are getting ready for two major events right now and there is never enough time to do it all.
I just wanted to remind all of you who are stuck on the $18,000 figure that this is a Total Budget figure based on 1000 copies printed. Now, if I were to say that the book could cost anywhere from $12-$19 to produce, would that make anyone feel better? Same amount just a different presentation. In the total budget presented, I included items like conference calls at $200 per pop, and postage to get letters out to owners and for committee members to communicate. Layout is around $2500+ and typesetting/prep & design/graphics etc.is another $2000. Somehow none wants to work for free (except the volunteers) The other consideration is that this book is the CORE book. IOW, it will have Eval. relevant info that will not have to be reprinted in future additional booklets, so we feel that this will be a 'keeper' and should probably be of better quality. I will check out how much B/W as opposed to COLOUR pic will affect the price. The three quotes that we received from different parts of the continent were pretty much the same which leads me to believe that there is little room for 'give'. We can, however, make concessions in other ways. We will work on this some more in Sept and make a revised presentation to the BOD for their Retreat.
