In order for them to undertake the job, they would have to feed the papers through once for every colour (I am relieved that they now have a 4 colour press). The day after going to press the gores arrived, the printed colours were so faint that I had no option but to demand a reprint, but because our recycled paper supply was running out (specially made for globe making), we reprinted on the reverse side.

Despite this, it has been well recieved. The 2nd edition is now running out and my printer has admitted that he has lost the plates and film needed to reprint. I personally believe he did not lose them, but threw them away in frustration. Consequently it is uncertain that we will re-edition when we run out of useable gores.
