> # Shipping costs for additional copies will vary depending on the distance.
> You will receive the estimated shipping costs as soon as possible.

Great, and 3,5 EUR per copy seems to be resonable price. Would be good
to see the design before we have to make decission. Maybe - you could
just insert into the design some exemplary pictures (for example
randomly choosen featured pictures from Commons) to let us see how it
might look like. Otherwise we are forced to make a blind decission :-)

Hallo All,

we still don´t have a final design, but I will upload it as soon as possible.

Best 
Kelda
