FlyingBuffalo wrote:Not sure what all you are asking in this post. We did not keep track of how many copies we printed in each "printing". Just felt that it "looked good" to say "11th printing" so each time we fired up the printing press, we increased the "5th printing" to "6th printing" and so on. Since we were printing them in house, didn't seem necessary to print more than 100 or so. (Altho first printing of T&T rules was done by Ken at the University Print Shop.)
FlyingBuffalo wrote:I'm afraid I really don't remember what the early print quantities were. In the heyday, we had standing orders for 800+ copies of any new solo, so print runs were higher. But I think for the early solos we didn't print so many at any one time. Thus "11th printing" probably indicates 1500 or so copies.
FlyingBuffalo wrote:Likewise I don't remember for sure, but I don't think we were terribly strict on keeping track of distinct printings. It was more for the fun of being able to say "fifth printing" than for keeping track of anything.
