I'd really like to. And we can handle any characters you can put on a pdf so it should be OK. Alex - Well, depends exactly what you're after, but if we print the same thing 12 times won't have the same effect? Drop us a line (newspaperclub@newspaperclub.co.uk) with any more thoughts and we'll have a think about it. Graham – I’m sure we can make that work. I’d really like to.

It looks like I'll be back in the UK every 3 months or so and I reckon the trainee journalists I have here may just be able to create enough content to fill a 12 page newspaper every few months. I order and pick them up in the UK - and bring an empty suitcase... Just wondering if your printers would be able to handle Kinyarwanda as well as English? Don't see why not. It doesn't have any 'funny' characters. Anyway, all in the thought/dream stage, but I'd love to see this come off. http://kigaliwireroughbook.tumblr.com/ I’ve been thinking a bit more about this and Kigali, Russell.

Sometimes a single sheet folded can be very helpful (it's what all the political parties put out as leaflets, for example) Will there be options for fewer than 12 pages?

Thanks very much. Magnulus - we've not quite worked everything out yet with prices. Should be able to post a rough idea soon though. Mike - we're still thinking about all that. It's thorny. Hope to resolve that soon too. Simon - you're right. We should do that. I'll amend accordingly. Good questions/points all. Thanks very much.

I'm sure I've either missed a mention of this from earlier or I've missed you saying that you won't answer this 'till later, but what are the price projections looking like at the moment for the various sizes of delivery?

I agree that 12 pages would be fine, but I'd love to do what you mentioned in your blog a while back and fill a newspaper before going away on a trip with all the articles I've saved in Instapaper etc and not had time to read. The number of pages I could fill doing that is, at least in theory, unlimited... Keep up the good work. Have you had any more thoughts on copyright issues?

I've been on the other end of this (living in the UK and unable to order stuff from the States) and generally I'd rather they told me it was possible but I'd have to cough up a lot for postage than point blank refuse my business.

I have to say that all the restrictions that apply are quite fine by me. 12 pages is, as you say, quite ample for most uses. I'm really looking forward to trying this stuff out, both for personal and other use. Very excited!
