Leider bestätigt sich bei uns der Publikationsvirus, und alles dauert ein wenig länger – wird dann aber auch viel besser! Wir planen das Buch im Januar 2013 bei Odermatt in Dallenwil zu drucken und bei Bubu in Mönchaltorf zu binden. Ihr hört bald von uns! Besten Gruss und Dank für Eure Unterstützung – Corina und Roland

We do confirm the existence of a publishing virus, which means everything takes a little longer – but the result will be just as much better! Weʼre planning to print with Odermatt in Dallenwil and bind with Bubu in Mönchaltorf in January 2013. Until then, we hope youʼre still patient, and weʼll be in touch soon – thanks again for your kind support – Corina and Roland
