[Oe List ...] Salmon: Song book

[W. J.]

Editing/formatting and revising/updating for inclusive language is a daunting task, as I discovered last November when we put together a Songbook for Springboard. The original formatting, which no doubt came from the Giant Word File, was ghastly, particuarly in the line breaks.

Hello people,

I've been thinking about desktop publishing the songs in the big Word  
file that Clare compiled some years back—the 400+ song thing. If  
others would do the editing to get the songs "right," I'd see
that it  
got nicely formated and printed.

Would someone else take orders and handle "fulfillment"—mailing the
 
things to people so that all I have to do is the formatting and  
desktop publishing?

We could print 50 200-page songbooks (for example) for about $8 and  
100 200-page songbooks for about $7. Total cost for a single songbook  
might be around $10 for a "plasticoil" bound songbook.

Give me feedback. Can't work on this until fall anyway, perhaps long  
enough for a few people to see to the editing of the songs.

David
