- There is no minimum or maximum set for donations towards printing books, any amount will be acknowledged.
- The donor can specify a book that he / she wishes to sponsor, though it should be noted that some books sell more quickly than others and donors may have to wait long if a slow selling book is chosen which we still have in stock.
- If no book is being specified, the donation will be used for the publication that is being printed / reprinted next.
- The acknowledgement lasts for one print / reprint only, which usually produces 150 to 200 copies of one publication. The cost of one such print run is around £ 2,000.
- Depending on the amount of the donation, the wording in the sponsored book will read,
(1) "The printing of this book was made possible by the generous donation of [name]" or "The printing of this book was made possible by a generous donation in memory of [name]" for donations covering the full cost of printing; or
(2) "The printing of this book was made possible in part by the generous donation of [name]" or "The printing of this book was made possible in part by a generous donation in memory of [name]" for donations covering part of the cost of printing.
