Sorry. I've been kind of buried and didn't follow the initial thread on
this. Typically for anything less than 10,000 it would only take a day
or so plus shipping time.
Also I would have to get it approved, See below.

Well I've been working on a "project" that would tie in nicely and could
be used for marketing by "PostgreSQL" companies.

I've looked, but with little success, for a quick reference for
PostgreSQL. Something similar to what Visibone does for Web design.
Books are OK, as are the Docs, but there are times I just need a tap
with the clue-stick not a full on whack.

So to get this I'm designing an eight page "Quick" reference. The plan
is to print on 120# ( 12 pt ) paper and UV coat to give it some body.
Stitched and folded to "US letter" :-)

It could/would have a spot, or two, for a company to put its logo, URL,
and contact information; and passed out at trade shows.

Or with PostgreSQL info, sold in book stores.

I have got a very good cost quote. ( Not high enough up the food chain
to get _this_ done for free. ) So any profit from the sale could go
into 'the fund.'

OK I'll calm down a bit.
