Nice find, [I2N] and thanks for sending off the (below) inquiry, [SEB].

Lorenzo's first link includes a bunch of info, it shows how big and
formal this could get; more than we're prepared for, and more than we
spent last time.

So - keeping it simple, [SEB] is basically inquiring about cost (we've
read the Scale of Fees), or to get in touch with someone who might be
willing to do the job.

Hopefully we get some kind of response this week - if we haven't by the
end of the week let's see if there's a way to get a student to do it? Real
paid portfolio work, of course, but only what we can afford/fundraise
for/recoup a bit of with printed/ebook sales, maybe?

Nick.
