Hi Josh!

Update from Graphius. All dollar amounts are in USD:

They had quoted a different cover than we had asked for, so the price is a little lower. 

What we asked for: graphite on front and back cover, black everywhere else : ████████ CAD
If we want black and graphite throughout: █████████ CAD This is actually exciting if you can swing it!
Shipping costs:
• 200 copies to Berlin € ███
• 200 copies to Brussels € ███

Taxes: Still trying to figure this out. 

Thanks!

dear Farah,
thanks for these exciting updates!
Before I can properly decide, I need to have the tax information finalized, since this could have a significant impact on the total cost.
If there is room, however, to make one further inquiry, it would be interesting to know what it would cost to have colour printing for the inside (without inside graphite) as a pricing option as well.
thank you so much!

I will check w/ Spencer about both things now :)

Hi Josh + Lauren,

Here's the latest breakdown of costs with all the extra options:

I should have an answer re: taxes today, fingers crossed. 

Thanks so much! :)

hi Farah,
thanks for sending. Once you can let me know the tax situation, I'll be able to know what will be possible.

hi Farah, Mark, and House9 dears,
Attached is the latest proof with answers to your questions.

Ellipses: which styling do we use? you have two choices: using periods (which are more spaced out) and the glyph that comes with the font itself that's tighter. Options visually: https://www.dropbox.com/#redacted
We shouldn't manually edit the spacing because we're using a monospaced font in these cases, so we can keep the alignment of all the characters even.

The more spaced out one (the first of the two photos) is perfect.

Timestamps on the Performance stills: Can Josh and Lauren svp confirm:
Performance 1, Jan: EST/UTC-5
Performance 2, April: EDT/UTC-4 (please note that this is EDT: Eastern Daylight Time, not Standard)
Performance 3 Sept: EST/UTC-4
We used this website to check: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/canada/montreal

Thank you for checking this, you are absolutely correct.

In the colophon, the book price in $40CAD – is this still correct?
Yes.

Is the ISBN correct? 978-1-989010-24-2
Yes.

We kept the blurb but added it to the end – we need to keep it and add 2 extra pages to have the proper amount of pages for the 12-page contract signature, and this seemed like the best alternative to having blank pages. What do you think? Ultimately, we can't remove any pages from the first and last sections (must be 12, or 8—but the last contract is 9). Also as you know, if we remove anything from the main part of the book, we need to remove 4 pages. So, we recommend this current configuration.
We like it!
Please triple check all email submissions dates + times that have been recently added
done and all good.

thank you all so much for all the careful work that has gone into this project. we're SO CLOSE!

Thanks for this, Josh.

I'll let the team know this is here, and we'll most likely have a review of it on Monday. 

Have a great weekend!
