We are almost ready. The paper and the machines of the eastern German printing house Druckerei zu Altenburg are waiting for us to press the start bottom.
Publisher Markus Sebastian Braun is on his way to this beautiful place. The history of the printing house starts in 1594!
The printing quality is without doubt one of the best in Europe. The DZA team stood beside us and made the necessary research when it came to take the last decisions about the production. And the result is amazing!
Concerning the survey: Within the next days www.backerkit.com is going to send you an email regarding shipping details and the name that should appear in the book.
And now? Your questions about address survey
