Congratulations - winners!

For those 24pp winners who have won the print run, you can reach me on badenkirgan@blackhousecomics.com to get it underway.

So i don't have to tell everyone the same thing, we will need from you a press quality pdf with 5mm bleed and trim marks all round. Single pages please - no spreads! The covers can be in the same file as the internals.

Our standard for floppys is to print the covers on 170gsm gloss and the internals on 90gsm bond. I have allowed for each book to be 24pp plus cover.

The easiest way to the get the files to me I have found is via http://www.yousendit.com or disk/usb to
