We don't need the price for 1050 (If I understand correctly), just
1000, and we can send 50 of those 1000 to them.

Good plan. When we get closer to pressing I'll look at quotes and
find out which number of copies is the most economical, etc. These
few days before Brickfest I'll try to get the HTML guide done and a
