That sounds just fine; limit it to black and white and I think you
have it. Making sure it will lie flat would be very good.

six cents a page is fine; I would hate to see us spend our volunteer
time putting books together.

Your 9-16 does not sound correct to me; how many delegates are you
expecting to attend workshops?

PS. We should see if we can negotiate a cheaper rate for other
conference activities (such as tutorials and presentations which we
expect instructors to handle on their own?). At the very least we
should recommend a local copy shop and tell them to expect some
action.
