im in the shiznit

Then add on the finishing costs, so your looking at another 200 quid on top. Expensive mistake, change your copy quickly then blame it on the printers.

I once sent out £20k worth of wallpaper to the wrong customer, the rolls never did come back either

Luckily I used my mates PC to do all the work, so they traced it back to him

job was about £1300 i think, then there was my time doing the artwork etc......

No way can blame the printers, as they have the files on cd i gave to them.

So it was a book, 750 copies, folding, stitching, reckon finishing would be about 150 quid

oh yes it is, how many pages was the book for, ie 20 pages plus 4 page cover? Wont take long to unpick stitches, fold and trim new cover then stitch it back on.

stitched, stapled, same damn thing. Run through on a muller machine. 24pp, probably printed as 3 8pp sections so you would have to reprint the cover and the 8pp section so price wiseit probably wouldnt be much cheaper

Only plus side is the reprint wont be as expensive as original job as they will still have the plates made for the good ones, so will save you some money. Must admit, thats a cheap ass bit of paper for the text tho, thin as fuck.
